Yeah, but, since the two frets are adjacent, you just need a bit of logic to
say,
'hey the 3rd string touches fret n and n+1, that means n'

Now, you're going to come up with a counter example where there are more
than one 
touching the same fret.. but, given that there are only 6 strings & they are
only 
being fretted at a maximum of two adjacent points..
