<p>Apparatus for generating a second one or more sequences of elements after receiving a first one or more sequence of elements. The apparatus comprises identifying means for receiving a first one or more sequence of elements, accessing stored sequences, and identifying which of the stored sequences each of the first one or more received sequences of elements most closely resembles, where the identifying means is operable to output, for each received sequence of elements, an identifying signal indicative of the correspondingly so identified stored sequence. The apparatus further comprises a sequence generator for generating sequences of elements, operable to receive as input a said identifying signal and to generate a sequence of elements in response thereto. The apparatus is adapted to operate such that when a first sequence of elements is input to the identifying means (i), the identifying means identifies a stored sequence that the first sequence of elements most closely represents and outputs to the sequence generator an identifying signal indicative of the same, and the sequence generator (ii) generates a second one or more sequences in response thereto.</p> |
