SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device having a schedule function that allows a user to know the priority of displayed schedule information without looking at the display means.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problem) The electronic device of the present invention comprises a storage means for storing schedule information consisting of at least old time information and character information according to the meaning of the date and time information; Priority information adding means for adding priority information representing priority to the schedule information stored in the storage means, and a notification setting a corresponding notification sound for each priority information given by the priority information adding means. When the date and time information obtained from the sound setting means and the timekeeping means that measure the date and time match the date and time information stored in the storage means, the schedule information including the date and time information is stored in the storage means. a display means for reading out and displaying the schedule information from the display means; and when the display means outputs the schedule information for display, a notification sound corresponding to the priority information given to the schedule information is selected from among the notification sounds set by the notification sound setting means. and notification means for selecting and outputting the selected information.

(Operation) According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, different notification sounds can be output according to the priority of each schedule information, so the user can know information regarding the priority without looking at the display means. It becomes possible. Therefore, the user can know the priority of the displayed schedule information without looking at the display means.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an electronic device according to the present invention. That is, the control section 1 is basically configured with a control section 1 as a main body, and this control section 1 displays schedule information consisting of date and time information input from the keyboard section 2 and character information according to the meaning of this date and time information. It is displayed on the section 3 and stored in the storage section 4. In this case, each piece of schedule information in the storage unit 4 is given priority information (H, M, L) representing priority, as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

The clock section 5 clocks the eye clock and sends the date and time information to the control section 1. The control unit 1 stores the date and time information from the clock unit 5 and the storage unit 4.
If the two match, the schedule information including the date and time information is read out from the storage unit 4 and displayed on the display unit 3, and the schedule information corresponds to the priority information given to the schedule information. The number of alarm tones to be heard is referred to from the priority table 6 and output to the speaker 7. For example, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the priority table 6 stores alarm sound number information representing the number of outputs of the corresponding alarm sound for each priority information.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained.

First, when the user selects the "priority sound registration mode" using the keyboard section 2, the control section 1 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 2(a) on the display section 3, and displays alarm tone number information. Prompt for input. Here, when the number of alarm sound outputs for each priority is inputted, for example, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the control section 1 writes this content into the priority table 6.

Furthermore, registration of schedule information consisting of date and time information and character information may be performed in the same manner.

In this case, the input schedule information is written into the storage unit 4. Here, an example of the contents of the storage section 4 is shown in FIG. 3, for example.

When the schedule information is registered in this way, the control unit 1 stores the date and time information input from the clock unit 5 and the storage unit 4.
Compare each date and time information stored in . If the two match, the control unit 1 reads the schedule information including the matched date and time information from the storage unit 4 and displays it on the display unit 3, and also responds to the priority information assigned to the schedule information. The number of alarm sounds to be heard is referred to from the priority table 6, and the speaker 7 outputs the number of alarm sounds corresponding to the priority. For example, each piece of information stored in the storage unit 4 and the priority table 6 is shown in FIG. 2(b).
and Figure 3, the number of times the alarm sound is output is "September 15th 13:00 J
twice on ``September 161 9:00J'' and three times on ``September 16th 11:00J''.

In this way, by setting in advance the number of outputs of alarm sounds corresponding to the priority of the schedule information, it becomes possible to output the number of alarm sounds corresponding to the priority. Therefore, the user can recognize the priority of the displayed schedule information without looking at the display unit.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, the display format of the display unit, the contents of the priority table, etc. are not limited to those of the embodiments described above.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the priority is expressed by the difference in the number of outputs of the alarm sound, but in order to make the difference clear, a completely different sound may be synthesized and used, or the user's voice may be used as a microphone. It is also possible to register different voices for each priority level and express the priorities using different voices. In particular, when expressing it vocally, for example, in the above example, rMJ is "shuhou", rLJ is "denwa",
By registering rHJ as "Kaigi", the user can identify the contents without looking at the display.
Becomes Noh.

In short, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist thereof.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the electronic device of the present invention, different notification sounds can be output according to the priority of each schedule information, so the user does not have to look at the display means.
