Disclosed is a method for speech processing, an information device, and a computer program product. The method for speech processing, as implemented by a computer, includes: obtaining a mixed speech signal via a microphone, wherein the mixed speech signal includes a plurality of speech signals uttered by a plurality of unspecified speakers at the same time; generating a set of simulated speech signals according to the mixed speech signal by using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), in order to simulate the plurality of speech signals; determining the number of the simulated speech signals in order to estimate the number of the speakers in the surroundings and providing the number as an input of an information application.

Example methods and systems are directed to a decentralized computing arrangement including a management system connected to a wide area network. The management system has a publish/subscribe messaging platform and a platform manager to provide an application for installation on edge devices. Each edge device has a wide area network interface to connect to the wide area network thereby to receive configuration data from the management system to install the application on the edge device. The edge device further includes a messaging interface to receive messages from the publish/subscribe messaging platform. The messages control installation of the application and allow communications between the edge device and the management system based on topics.

A user equipment receives a signal indicating a time schedule for intermittent transmission of information from a base station managing a cell. The intermittent transmission of information enables the UE to perform mobility measurements when the cell is in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode and the UE is an active terminal not served by the cell. The UE performs, based on the intermittent transmission of information, a mobility measurement when the cell is in the DTX mode and reports the mobility measurement to the base station.

A foundation framework resource of a first service function is loaded in a software application. A service request for starting the first service function in the software application is received. A page resource required by the first service function is loaded. The first service function is implemented based on the foundation framework resource of the first service function and the page resource.

Methods of processing a packet, APs, ACs and non-transitory machine-readable storage mediums are provided in examples of the present disclosure. In one aspect, an AP receives an Internet-of-Things data packet sent by an Internet-of-Things sensor, wherein a sensor identifier of the Internet-of-Things sensor is carried in the Internet-of-Things data packet; and sends the received Internet-of-Things data packet to an AC such that the AC processes the Internet-of-Things data packet based on the sensor identifier.

A system for alerting e-mail activity status. The system has at least one e-mail server for integrating N e-mail accounts, at least one second server communicating with the e-mail server adapted to monitor at the e-mail server; at least one computer readable medium (CRM) adapted to receiving an e-mail alert wherein the second server identifies activity status in the e-mail server according to a set of predetermined parameters. The second server alerts the CRM on the activity status. The parameters may consist of entries to e-mail accounts type of actions performed in an e-mail account and other activities and events. The invention further comprises methods of applying the aforementioned system.
