Abstract (en)

[origin: US2004158437A1] In a method of extracting a signal identifier from a time signal, the temporal occurrence of signal edges in the time signal is detected (12), wherein a signal edge has a specified temporal length. In addition, the temporal interval between two selected detected signal edges is determined (14). From the temporal interval determined, a frequency value is calculated (16), the frequency value being associated with a time of occurrence of the frequency value in the time signal so as to obtain a coordinate tuple from the frequency value and the time of occurrence for this frequency value. A signal identifier is created from a plurality of coordinate tuples (18), each coordinate tuple including a frequency value and a time of occurrence, which is why the signal identifier includes a sequence of signal identifier values reproducing the temporal form of the time signal. The extracted signal identifier is based on signal edges of the time signal and thus reproduces the temporal form of the time signal. The signal identifier is therefore characteristic of the time signal, on the one hand, and robust towards changes in the time signal, on the other hand.
