A method for a recognition system, for example for recognizing a location name
according to a preset, spelled voice entry, in order to shorten the reaction time
for a new start of a system in which data must first be transferred from a reading
memory into a working memory via a connection at a low data rate. According to
the method, the data are grouped in data blocks, corresponding to successive structural
levels, with the data content being arranged in the manner of a branched tree structure,
and with the data blocks in the hierarchical sequence of the associated structural
branch levels being consecutively transferred from the reading to the working memory.
The recognition has already begun, on the basis of the still-incomplete data set,
after a plurality of levels is present, and is continued in real time with the
transfer of further data blocks. The average processing time can be reduced further
through an advantageous structuring and grouping of the data.
