METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING A REQUEST TO A BOOLEAN RULE

摘要

There is provided a method of processing a request to a boolean rule having variables, by the use of an input signal having elements representing states of the variables, a stored rule base having elements arranged in terms, and an output signal having elements representing states of the variables; the elements in the input signal and the output signal being two-bit pairs; wherein the elements in said rule base are two-bit pairs capable of representing a plurality of combinations of states for said variables and wherein a term in said rule base represent multiple combinations of variables; for terms in the rule base determining which two-bit pairs to write to elements in the output signal, by for an element in the rule base and an element in the input signal both representing a given variable comparing the two bits of the input signal and the two bits of the terms in the rule base by means of logical operations.
