The Vendor ID is not found in the USB vendor database, (serial number is altered for privacy, it's obviously supposed to be a string unique to your device). There's nothing online about the device string except a thread on a Japanese forum.

Verbose output from lsusb. The USB standard is quite complicated; simply said, our device has two one way "communication ports" (the two endpoints listed above), one for data input at address 0x81 and one for data output at address 0x01.

is there anybody out there

Install python-usb:

apt-get install python-usb

Run the attached hiqos.py. The device seems to alternatively return 2 strings (further execution will keep repeating these two strings):

array('B', [63, 1, 0, 211, 225, 222, 150, 83, 118, 235, 189, 189, 219, 114, 27, 77, 182, 236, 156, 116, 151, 102, 175, 87, 23, 245, 108, 236, 28, 211, 188, 195, 187, 223, 197, 243, 237, 150, 246, 190, 115, 106, 127, 107, 255, 63, 233, 129, 140, 9, 243, 219, 172, 155, 189, 238, 87, 94, 4, 27, 0, 0, 0, 16])
array('B', [63, 1, 0, 6, 251, 210, 223, 205, 123, 255, 175, 249, 250, 125, 245, 190, 109, 123, 239, 126, 11, 59, 253, 250, 45, 251, 151, 124, 138, 70, 57, 197, 221, 175, 228, 99, 188, 109, 232, 117, 164, 159, 55, 247, 242, 29, 127, 237, 7, 155, 166, 153, 14, 215, 166, 126, 238, 241, 247, 122, 222, 55, 127, 103])

Sadly, the strings make no sense when converted to ASCII. First three bytes are identical, the rest are different.
