According to an embodiment of the invention, a fast matching algorithm uses a memory space efficient data structure to accomplish information filtering in a system receiving information, such as a set top box used in conjunction with a television set. The data structure, according to an embodiment of the present invention, may include a node (300a) with a plurality of levels of expected values of data fields with an associated index to another node (300b) to be used when a matching identification of a particular level is not found. Additionally, according to an embodiment of the invention, the nodes (300a-p) in this data structure may include a level field which identifies levels which are valid within the node.

Selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, un algorithme de mise en correspondance rapide utilise une structure de données efficace d'un espace mémoire pour assurer le filtrage d'information dans un système recevant des informations, comme un coffret d'abonné utilisé avec un poste de télévision. Selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, la structure de données peut comprendre un noeud (300a) avec plusieurs niveaux prévus de valeurs de champs de données avec un index associé à un autre noeud (300b) devant être utilisé lorsqu'aucune identification de mise en correspondance n'est trouvée. En outre, selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, les noeuds (300a-p) dans cette structure de données peuvent comprendre un champ de niveau qui identifie les niveaux valides dans ce noeud.
