Abstract:
A method for classifying information received by a communications device, comprising:(a) defining a first parameter having a first parameter range and a second parameter range, and a second parameter having a third parameter range and a fourth parameter range;(b) defining a first class having one of said first parameter and said second parameter ranges, and one of said third and said fourth parameter ranges;(c) defining a second class having another one of said first parameter and said second parameter ranges, and another one of said third and said fourth parameter ranges;(d) receiving information having a first parameter value and a second parameter value;(e) determining if said first parameter value is within one of said first and second parameter ranges and determining if said second parameter value is within one of said third and fourth parameter ranges, if so, classifying said information into one of said first and second classes based on said first parameter value and said second parameter value, otherwise classifying said information as a default class; and(f) generating an output value representative of said classification.
