A method for matching of two detailed patterns is disclosed in which abstracts of each of the detailed patterns are created, where the abstracts are less complex than the detailed patterns. The abstracts are then compared to determine if the detailed patterns may possibly match, where comparison of the abstracts is faster than comparison of the detailed patterns. If comparison of the abstracts indicates a possible match, then the detailed patterns are compared, otherwise no detailed pattern comparison is needed. |
