Patent ID: 7587322

Claim:
A method for controlling an information system during an output of stored information segments via a signaling device, the method comprising the steps of storing information in a database for being requested; providing a first voice signal having a first voice signal segment and providing a voice recognition module for decoding the first voice signal; organizing the information in said database such that a limited first information area of stored information is initially accessible to said first voice signal segment; specifying at least one information segment from the stored information as a first data segment by a decoded first voice signal segment and provide the specified information segment as output; activating a further information area of said database as a second information area from the stored information, when said first data segment corresponding to the first voice signal segment of said first voice signal is not contained in said limited first information area, wherein the activation of said second information area of the database is at least co-dependent on a semantic category of said voice signal segment; said semantic category being determined by the voice recognition module when decoding the voice signal segment of the first voice signal, to associate the semantic category to the voice signal segment.
