Method for the recognition of a chronicle, device and corresponding computer program

A device for recognition of a chronicle from a set of possible chronicles, each of said chronicles comprising a set of events related to one another by pre-determined conditions, said events comprising elementary events, and complex events corresponding to a specific combination of at least two elementary events, the device comprising:

• means for obtaining a series of elementary events,
• means for determining at least one chronicle, called a presumed chronicle, meeting at least certain of said conditions interrelating said elementary events, from among said set of possible chronicles,
• and for each of said presumed chronicles:
• means for identifying at least one complex event that has to be present in said presumed chronicle,
• means for verifying the presence of said complex event from corresponding elementary events, and
• means for confirming the recognition of said chronicle if said complex event or events are present,
• so that only the complex events necessary for said recognition are computed.

Computer program product comprising computer code instructions recorded in a carrier usable in or by a computer, said program enabling the recognition of a chronicle from a set of possible chronicles, each of said chronicles comprising a set of events related to one another by pre-determined conditions, said events comprising elementary events, and complex events corresponding to a specific combination of at least two elementary events, wherein said computer program product comprises:

• computer-readable programming code to perform a step for obtaining a series of elementary events;
• computer-readable programming code to perform a step for determining at least one chronicle, called a presumed chronicle, meeting at least certain of said conditions interrelating said elementary events, from among said set of possible chronicles,
• and for each of said presumed chronicles:
• computer-readable programming code to perform a step for identifying at least one complex event that has to be present in said presumed chronicle;
• computer-readable programming code to perform a step for verifying the presence of said complex event from corresponding elementary events;
• computer-readable programming code to perform a step for confirming the recognition of said chronicle if said complex event or events are present;
• so that only the complex events necessary for said recognition are computed.
