Furthermore, (37) and (38) are interface circuits for the IC card and external equipment during expansion, and are connected to the sockets (16) and (17), respectively.

In the device of this example, the power switch (10)
When turned on, a group of predetermined function display marks (icons) (40) are displayed on the display section (1) at the top and right of the image on the display section (1).

Now, if you want to display the calendar, touch the "F Calendar" mark icon at the top of the display section (1) from among these multiple icon groups (40) with the pen tip of the pen (3) to display the calendar on the screen of the display section (1). Pull it out to a predetermined position, for example, to the center. At this time, the "calendar" mark icon is enlarged and, for example, a calendar screen (41) as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display section (1).

In this case, as shown in Fig. 3, the "Holiday 1" or "Holiday 2" button (42) or (43) on the calendar screen (41)
) with the pen (3), a ``start'' button (47) for holiday setting becomes selectable, and when this ``start'' button (47) is touched with the pen (3), holiday setting becomes possible. In this example, there are buttons (42) and (43) for "Holiday 1" and "Holiday 2", so 2iii holidays can be set. In this example, only the numbers are work days, and the numbers with frames are holidays. Also, the calendar screen (41)

As shown in the figure, the display of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac is obtained.

Next, the “Holiday 1” or “Holiday 2” button (42) or (
43) with the pen (3) to set holidays will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10. First, click the "Start" button (47) for holiday settings on this calendar screen (41).
) with the pen (3). This “Start” button (47
) is touched with the pen (3), the "Start" button (47) becomes unselectable, and the "End" button (4B) for holiday setting becomes selectable.

Next, it is determined whether the pen (3) has touched (down) a predetermined field, in this example, a day of the week field or a date field.

When the pen (3) touches this predetermined column, for example, R
The reversed codes in the storage area provided in A M (24) are each set to "0°". These reversed codes are codes set corresponding to each date on the calendar, and are the days off and work days of that date. This is a storage area for remembering whether or not the value has been newly changed, and while the pen (3) is down (contacting the input tablet (2)), it is changed once and the high level ``1'' After that, it cannot be changed again.

Changes can be made again after the pen (3) is uploaded.

Next, it is determined whether the area where this pen (3) is down is in the day of the week column. For example, as shown in Figure 6 (when the down point of this pen (3) is in the Thursday column as shown by the cursor (49), the dates of this Thursday are the 4th, 11th, and 18th as shown in Figure 7). , on the 25th, the display of today's work day is reversed and displayed as a holiday.The same goes for other days of the week.Therefore, the setting operation for holidays and work openings for each day of the week can be done in one operation. When you finish the holiday setting, turn on the pen (3) and turn on this pen (
If the "end" button (48) of the holiday setting is touched in step 3), this will be memorized and the holiday setting will be ended.

Also, when the pen (3) is down in the 84-inch column, for example, if it is <10 days as shown in Figure 8, this first pen (
3) The display of the down point date, that is, the 10th holiday and work day, is reversed, that is, the display is a holiday, and the reversed code for this 10th day is set to 1°.Next, it is determined whether the pen (3) is up. However, when the pen (3) is raised, the display of holidays and work days for these 10 days is reversed, so that it is possible to set holidays and work days for each [] mark.

If this pen (3) is not up, it is determined whether the current position of the pen (3) is within the date range of the down point of the first pen (3). As shown in Figure 5, "within the range of this date" means to ask whether the day of the week is a, and to ask whether the pen (3) has moved in the adjacent vertical direction.
When it comes into contact with the 17th and 24th, it is determined whether the inverted code of each date is 1 n, which has already been changed, and 0°, which has not been changed.

In this case, the 84th, 17th, and 24th Thursdays and deployment days will be displayed as shown in FIG. You can set holidays and working days for multiple days at once.

Also, if the current pen (3) position is moved beyond the date of the first pen down point, e.g. 10 days, the inverted code of the down point of the current pen (3) is "'l゛'". If it has already been changed and it is “1”, it will remain as is, but if this inverted code is II OII, the display of holidays and work days for that date will be inverted, and this already inverted code will be changed. 1°° (In the following explanation, that date will be referred to as the current date.) Next, it is determined whether the date of the down point of the current pen (3) is greater than the date of the down point of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th, and if it is larger, [current date - 1
] is equal to the first down date of the pen (3), for example, the 10th. For example, when the pen (3) is moved to the 11th, it becomes equal, and in this case, the reversed code of the current date is "1". If a change has already been made and this inverted code is “1”, it will remain as is, but if this already inverted code is “o”, the display of holidays and work days for the current date will be inverted. At the same time, the already inverted code is set to 111''.

Also, if this [current date - 1] is not equal to the down date of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th, the reversed code of this [current date - 1] date has already been changed and is If it is already ``1'', repeat the above judgment, but if it is ``0'', then [current date - 1]
] is reversed, and the already reversed code is set to "1".

Also, at this time, the current date mentioned above is set to this [current date 1]. In this case, for example, from the down point date of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th, move this pen (3) diagonally to the lower right 18
Suppose we move to day. In this case, the 18th holiday and work day are highlighted, and then the 17th.

16th, 15th, 14th, 13th and 12th and above 6 days
Repeat times, then [Current date - 1] is the first pen (
Since the day of down time in 3) is equal to 10 days, in this case, the display of holidays and working days of the current date is inverted, and the already inverted code is set to "1". Therefore, in this case, the first pen (
By moving the pen (3) diagonally from the down day 10th to the 18th in the lower right corner of 3), the settings for holidays and work days from the 10th to the 18th are reversed at once, as shown in Figure 10. be able to.

Also, if the date of the down point of the current pen (3) is smaller than the date of the down point of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th,
It is determined whether the current date + 1] is equal to the date of the first down of the pen (3), for example, the 10th. For example, on the 9th, pen (3
) becomes equal when moved, and in this case, it is determined whether the already reversed code of the current date is "1 degree", and if the change has already been made and this already reversed code is "1°, it will remain as it is, but When this inverted code is 0, the display of holidays and working days of the current date is inverted, and the inverted code is set to 1.

Also, if this (current date + 1) is not equal to the down date of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th, the reversed code of this (current date + 1) date has already been changed to 1''
′, and if it is already “1”, repeat the above judgment, but if it is °゛0゛, [
The current date + 1] is inverted, and the inverted code is set to °'1'. Also, at this time, the above-mentioned current date is set to this [current date+1]. In this case, for example, if the pen (3) is moved diagonally from the down point date of the first pen (3), for example, the 10th, to the 2nd in the upper left, the 2nd to 10th
You can invert the display of holiday 1 dispatch days up to .

In other cases, the settings can be made in the same way.

When the holiday setting is completed, it can be memorized by touching the holiday setting "end" button (48) with the pen (3).

The electronic notebook device is otherwise configured in the same manner as the conventional one.

As described above, this embodiment has the advantage that various holidays and work days can be set at once, and holiday setting operations are facilitated.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments (it goes without saying that various other configurations can be taken without departing from the gist of the present invention).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, there is an advantage that settings such as holidays, working days, etc. can be easily operated.
