CONSTITUTION:A data RAM 10 is the part in which mainly data registered by a user is stored, and provided with a user data storage part 10c for storing user's data, an input/output buffer 10a for storing temporarily data inputted by a user and data called from the user data storage part 10c, and a data management area 10b for executing the management of data stored in the user data storage part 10c. In this state, at the time of transmitting the data to an electronic equipment of a receiving side, whether the data is transmitted by adding it to the data stored in the electronic equipment of the receiving side, or the data is transmitted by deleting the data stored in the electronic equipment of the receiving side is selected. In such a way, either of the data transmission of these two kinds of states can be executed arbitrarily.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to electronic devices such as electronic memos and electronic notebooks that have a function of transmitting stored information.

(Prior Art) Electronic devices such as electronic memos and electronic notebooks are equipped with a telephone directory function, a schedule function, etc., and their 1-data is stored in a memory within the electronic device.

Some of such electronic devices have a communication function that allows them to transmit stored data to other electronic devices.

In conventional electronic devices, data transmission is performed in one of the following two ways.

The first aspect is that the electronic device on the receiving side erases the stored data before starting communication, and stores the data transmitted from the electronic device on the transmitting side in the memory. In the second aspect, the receiving electronic device stores in its memory the data transmitted from the transmitting electronic device in addition to the data stored before the start of communication.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In conventional electronic devices, which of these two modes is performed is determined for each type of electronic device. Therefore, in the communication between electronic devices of the first aspect, even if the electronic device on the receiving side attempts to transmit data while preserving the data, such communication cannot be performed. Conversely, in the communication between the electronic devices 2 in the second aspect, if the amount of data to be transmitted is large or if the free space in the memory of the receiving electronic device is too small, data cannot be transmitted. There is. As described above, data transmission performed by conventional electronic devices has been inconvenient to use.

The present invention was made in view of the current situation, and
The purpose is to provide an electronic device that can arbitrarily perform either of the two types of data transmission described above.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An electronic device of the present invention is an electronic device having a storage means for storing data and a communication function for transmitting the data stored in the storage means to another electronic device. When transmitting data to the receiving electronic device, do you add the data to the data stored in the receiving electronic device?
The electronic device on the receiving side has a selection means for selecting whether to delete data stored in the electronic device and transmit the data, thereby achieving the above object.

(Example) 3- The invention will now be described with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. This example is
Although the electronic memo can have many functions, in order to simplify the explanation, it will be described below as having only three functions: a schedule function, a telephone directory function, and a calculator function.

Each part of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. The CPUI controls the entire electronic device by executing a program stored in the program ROM 2. The work RAM 3 is a RAM used as a work area when the CPUI performs processing. C, G, ROM4
is a ROM that stores character patterns for display.

The display unit 5 is composed of an LCD, and is a part that displays symbols such as characters and figures, and in this embodiment, 12 digits x 2
It has the number of characters displayed in the column. The upper part of the display part 5 is a dot part 5a in which one character is made up of 5×7 dots, and the lower part is a segment part 5b in which one character is made up of 7 segments (see FIG. 8, etc.). The LCD driver 6 is a part that converts the character pattern in the display RAM 7 into an electrical signal for driving the display section 5 and supplies it to the display section 5. Each 1 bit of the display RAM 7 corresponds to one pixel of the display section 5, and when a display pattern is set in the display RAM 7 by the CPU, the display pattern is converted into an LCD drive signal by the LCD driver 6. is sent to the display section 5,
The display state of the LCD of the display unit 5 is updated.

The communication unit 8 is a part that transmits and receives data with other devices, and has a terminal So for signal output and a terminal St for signal input in order to communicate with other electronic devices. .

The cow part 9 is equipped with a large number of keys, and detects the presence or absence of keystrokes, and records the result and the type of key operated by C.
This is the part that is communicated to PU 1. The types of keys in this key portion 9 will be described later. The data RAMI O is a part that mainly stores data registered by the user, and includes a user data storage part 10c1 that stores user data, and data input by the user and the user data storage part 10c.
A human output buffer 71 that temporarily stores the data retrieved from 5.
0a, and a data management area 10b for managing data stored in the user data storage section 10c.

FIG. 2 shows details of the data RAM10. In this embodiment, the user can register two types of data: telephone directory data (hereinafter sometimes referred to as location data) and schedule data (hereinafter sometimes referred to as 5CHD data). The location data consists of three parts: a name part, a company name part, and a number part. 5CHD data consists of 6 parts: material part, rod part, moon part, white part, dark part, and needle part.
It consists of several parts. The area from the rod portion to the needle portion is indicated by reference numeral 105 in FIG. The entry/exit cover sofa 10a temporarily stores the contents of each of these parts, including a name part 101, a company name part 102, a number part 103, a message part 104, and a year/month/date/hour/minute part 10.
It has 5 areas. The number of used bytes of the data management area 101)/remaining bytes section 106 shows the user = 6 - the number of bytes of the area already used by the user in the data storage section 10c (i.e., the number of bytes of the storage data section 109, which will be described later). S Total number of bytes of CHD data section 110)
, and the number of bytes of the free area 110, which will be described later, are stored. Number of location data/5CHD data number section 107 is as follows:
Stores the number of data registered as location data or 5CHD data. Reference numeral 108 indicates an area for other data necessary for managing the memory. The user data storage section 10c has a location data section 109 that stores data registered as location data, and an SCHD data section 110 that stores data registered as 5CHD data. Furthermore, the free area 111 is an unused storage area. Since the location data and 5CHD data are data of undefined length, the number of bytes occupied by each piece of data is not determined. Therefore, the location data section 109 and S
The CHD data section 110 is dynamically allocated and expands and contracts as new data is registered and deleted. In those seven-day periods, there is no space between data, and the data is always stored in a front-aligned manner. Furthermore, regarding the order of the registered data, the location data is stored in the alphabetical order of the name section, and the 5CHD data is stored in the ascending order of the year, month, day, hour, and minute.

Some of the keys provided in the key part 9 are shown in FIG. 3. The functions of these keys will be briefly explained.

The function key 31 functions as a so-called r2nd FUNCTIONJ key that gives a second function to other keys, and is a key that is pressed before operating each key as necessary. M
The ODE key 32 is used to select a desired mode from among three modes: stationary mode, SCHD mode, and CAL mode, which are used to execute the telephone directory function, schedule function, and calculator function, which are the main functions of this embodiment. This is the key to The ON/C key 33 functions as a normal power key when the power is off, and as a key for returning the display state to the initial state when the power is already on. The OFF key 34 is a key for turning off the power 8- of the device. The registration key 35 is a key for registering data input by the user in the user data storage section 10c. The call key 36 is a key for calling up data registered in the user data storage section 10c and displaying it on the display section 5. The communication key 37 is a key used when communicating with other sets. The memory check key 38 is a key used when it is desired to display the memory usage status. The delete key 39 is a key used to delete input characters, input data, and the like.

The character input keys 40 are a group of keys for inputting numbers (0-9), katakana, alphabets (A-Z), and symbols (+, -, etc.), and are used when inputting characters. The name/company name key 42 is used when calling by company name in the place mode. In other words, this embodiment has the function of calling data whose name starts with a match in the setting mode, and the function of calling data whose name starts with a match with the company name.
The company name key 42 is a key used to activate the latter function. The RES ET key 41 is
This key is used to force the entire system into a certain state (tentatively called a reset state). This key 41, unlike other keys, is directly connected to the CPU hardware, and can be used to operate the CPU no matter what state the CPU is in. In other words, other keys are used by CPU 1 except when CPU 1 requests input.
cannot give a signal to

FIG. 4 shows a schematic flowchart of the processing in this embodiment. First, in this system, when the user does nothing, A P O (Auto Pow) is activated in step S1.
er 0ff) Waits for user's key input while counting. If no key is pressed for a predetermined period of time, the power will be automatically shut off to save power. The APO count is a time count for this purpose. When any key is pressed, the key part 9 sends a signal indicating that the key is manually pressed and a code indicating the type of key pressed. The flow is
Proceeding to key classification (step S2), the process to be performed is selected according to the type of key pressed. Then, processing of the pressed key is performed in step S3.

In the various key processing routines in this steno knob S3, the CP
U1 performs processing using the work RAM 3, communication unit 8, data RAM I O, etc. according to the contents of the program ROM 2, and then proceeds to the display routine (step S
4).

In the display routine, in order to display the digits instructed by the various key processing routines, the character pattern of the character to be displayed is taken out from the CGROM 4 and set in the display RAM 7 at the position of the digit to be displayed. The character pattern set in the display RAM 7 is converted by the LCD driver 6 into an electrical signal for driving the LCD, and displayed on the display section 5.

When the display process in step S4 is completed, the flow returns to step S1 to wait for the next key. ON/C key 3 when the power is off
If 3 is pressed, the flow is forced to step S5
It is now easier to start. At this point, the position mode is selected as the main function, and the process proceeds to step S6, the C key process (FIG. 5).

FIG. 6 shows the flow of C key processing. Here, an initial state is set for the currently selected mode, and then a display routine corresponding to the selected mode is selected and control is transferred thereto. The initial state of each mode is shown in FIG.

When the RESET key 41 is pressed, control is transferred to step 37 (FIG. 4) regardless of which state the flow is processing. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, all current states are abandoned and a reset state is set. And step S4
The process moves to the middle RESET display routine. FIG. 8 shows the reset display. The state shown in FIG. 8 is the data management area 10b of the data RAM 10 and the user data storage section 10c.
This state allows the user to select whether or not to initialize by erasing all user data stored in the .

Here, when a predetermined key representing rYESJ (registration key 35 in this embodiment) is pressed, all user data 2- is deleted. If a key other than the predetermined key is pressed, the erasure and initialization processing is not performed and the process moves to the C key processing (step 36).

Next, the processing of each key will be explained.

FIG. 10 shows the processing of the OFF key 34. OFF key 3
If 4 is pressed, the display on the display section 5 is erased and the system is turned off. This electronic memo will now stop working.

However, since the data RAM 10 is operated by a separate power source, the user data registered in the data RAM 10 will not be lost. Also, after turning off the system power, set the program counter in CPU1 to POVER-O.
Set it to the address for N processing. Due to this,
Next time the ON/C key 33 is pressed, the POWER-
Processing is started from ON processing.

FIG. 11 shows the processing of the function key 31. When the function 1-31 is pressed, display/non-display of the function symbol 13 disposed on the left side of the display section 5 is switched as shown in FIG.

13- FIG. 12 shows the processing of the character input keys 40, and FIG. 14 shows an example of character input using the character input keys 40. In this embodiment, approximately 100 types of katakana, alphabets, numbers, and symbols can be input, and for this purpose, 17 keys are provided as character input keys 40. When any of the character input keys 40 is pressed (step 521), an internal code corresponding to the pressed key is generated. Then, the pointer indicating the current cursor position (that is, the position where a character is input) in the work RAMa is taken out, and
Write the internal hood at the position indicated by the pointer in 0a. The pointer used here to indicate the cursor position is initialized when the initial state of the mode is set, and is incremented each time a character is input. Then step S
At step 22, similarly to the display routine (step S4), the program moves to a routine in which the character code in the human output buffer yloa is developed into a character pattern using C, G, and ROM 4, and is written into the display RAM 7. FIG. 14 shows an example of inputting characters from the initial state of the text mode, where =14-IBM on the right side of the figure indicates the character string input to the name field in the human output buffer 10a. FIG. 14(a) shows the initial display, and at this time there is nothing in IBN, that is, N
It is ULL. Here, press the character input key 40 to enter "A".
When the character ``A'' is entered in IBM, the display becomes as shown in FIG. 14(b). Here, the underbar "-" to the right of the display of "A" indicates the cursor position (that is, the position where the next character will be input). If "force" is further input, "force" is added to the IBN, and the display is as shown in Figure 14 (
C).

FIG. 15 shows the processing when the MODE key 32 is pressed. When the MODE key 32 is pressed, it is first checked whether the function symbol 13 (FIG. 13) is lit (step 531). If the function symbol 13 is not lit, the type of function mode to be set next differs depending on the type of the current function mode (step 532).

That is, if the current function mode is the position mode, 5CHD
mode is set (step 533) and if the current 15 function mode is 5CHD mode, the CAL mode is set (step 534) and the current function mode is CHD mode.
If it is the AL mode, the position mode is set (step 535). Therefore, each time the MODE key 32 is pressed, the mode changes from position mode to 5C, as shown by arrow a in FIG.
The mode is cyclically switched in the order of HD mode→CAL mode→position mode (this order is referred to as forward direction).

If the function symbol 13 is lit (displayed), the process advances to step S36, and if the current function mode is the setting mode, the CAL mode is set (step S53).
7) If the current function mode is the 5CHD mode, the setting mode is set (step 938), and if the current function mode is the CAL mode, the 5CHD mode is set (step 539). Therefore, each time the MODE key 32 is pressed, the mode changes in the order of position mode → CAL mode → 5CHD mode → position mode (this order is called the reverse direction) as shown by the arrow in FIG. can be switched sequentially.

In this way, the MODE key 32 can be pressed without pressing the function key 31.
When you operate , the mode changes sequentially in the forward direction a. On the other hand, when the function key 31 is pressed and the MODE key 32 is operated, the mode is sequentially switched in the reverse direction. Therefore, when switching from setting mode to CAL mode, 5CHD
You can switch to CAL mode without going through the modes. In this case, the MODE key 32 only needs to be pressed once.

The processing of the registration key 35 is shown in FIG. FIG. 17 shows an example of a procedure for registering data using the registration key 35 in the storage mode. In FIG. 17, the left side of the figure shows the character string or number string input by operating the character input key 40, and the right side of the figure shows the case where the operation or input is performed. The display contents of the display section 5 are shown.

First, when the name "Kobayashi" is input 17 using the character input key 40 in the initial state shown in FIG. b)). When the registration key 35 is pressed, the flow advances to step 341. Since the name part is currently being input, the process further advances to step S43, and the input state is set to the number part. Thereafter, the program moves to a routine for displaying "Bangou?", and "Bangou?" is displayed in the dot section 5a (FIG. 17(C)). Phone number r03-12
3-4567J is input using the character input keys 40. The input telephone number is displayed on the segment section 5b of the display section 5 (FIG. 17(d)).

If you press the registration key 35 again here, the flow will change from S41 to S.
42→S44→S45, the input state of the company name section is set, and the process moves to the "Kaisha Make" display routine.

As shown in Figure 17(e), "(Kaisha Make)"
is displayed on the dot section of the display section 5. The parentheses are used here to avoid confusion between the input state of the company name section and the input state of the name section. FIG. 17(f) shows a state in which "Sharp" is input as the company name.

18- If you press the registration key 35 in this state, the flow will be 541-3
Proceed as 42 → 344 → 347. Input data "Kobayashi", "Sharp" and r03-123-45
67J inputs the name part 101 and company name part 1 of the input/output buffer 110a by the character input key processing routine shown in FIG.
02 and the number section 103, respectively, and in step S47, these data are transferred as location data to the location data section 109 in the user data storage section 10c. At this time, the location data in the location data section 109 has the name section in the iwe order (i.e., A--A--).
Z-0-9→symbol l1lit) and stored. Further, after the number of used bytes/number of remaining bytes and the number of stored data items in the data management area lOb are updated, the C key is processed and initialized. The human output buffer 10a is cleared.

FIG. 18 shows the procedure for registering 5CHD data.

In this figure as well, as in Figure 17, the left side of the figure shows the character string or number string input by operating the registration key 35, and the right side of the figure shows the character string or number string input by operating the character input key 40. The display contents of the display unit 5 when the operation or input is performed are shown. From the initial state shown in FIG. 18(a), the year, month, day, hour, minute, and business are input in this order. All these data are stored in the human output buffer 10a,
The cursor is automatically advanced each time a character is entered. Figure 18 (b) shows the state in which r1989J is entered as the year, Figure 18 (C) shows the state in which the month "10" and day "12" are entered, and the figure (d) shows the state in which the year is "12" and "35". This shows the state in which . The year is displayed together with "year" in the dot section 5a. The month, day, hour, and minute are displayed in the segment section 5a. As shown in FIG. 18(d), when the fractional number is input, the data for the year to minute is temporarily stored in the area 105 of the human output buffer 10a. The year display in the dot section 5a is erased, and "YOU KEN?" is displayed instead.

When "party" is input as the job data, the character string "party" is displayed in the desoto section 5a (18th
Figure (d)). This task data is stored in the task section 1020-4.

Here, when the registration key 35 is pressed, step S in FIG.
41 and S46 are performed. In step 346, non-standard data (for example, "
A check is made to see if there is a month (13th month, 40th day, 25th hour, 90th minute). If there is data that is not specified, the process proceeds to the "Date and time is incorrect!" display routine, and "Date and time are incorrect!" is displayed in the dot section 5a (
Figure 19).

If there is no problem with the data from year to minute, the process advances to step S47, and the same storage process as in the case of the above-mentioned location data is performed. The SCHD data is stored in the 5CHD data section 110.
They are stored in ascending order of year, month, day, and time.

Next, communication key processing will be explained. When communicating between two electronic memos, as shown in FIG. 20, the signal output terminal So of one electronic memo A and the signal input terminal S1 of the other electronic memo B are connected to The signal input si of the electronic memo B and the signal output So of the electronic memo B are connected respectively. In this embodiment, 1- The electronic memo whose communication key was pressed first (electronic memo B in the example below) becomes the receiving side, and the electronic memo whose communication key was pressed after that (electronic memo A in the example below) ) is the sending side.

The flow of processing when the communication key is pressed will be explained using FIGS. 21A and 21B. Furthermore, Figure 21A and Figure 21
The broken line in Figure B shows the flow of transmission between both types of child memos. When the communication key 37 of electronic memo B is pressed, the process moves to step S51, where a response request signal is sent from the signal output terminal So of electronic memo B, and whether or not electronic memo A is in the receiving state (i.e., the first It is checked whether or not the communication key 37 was pressed. At this time, in electronic memo A, communication key 3
Since 7 has not been pressed yet, the state is in step S1 in FIG. 4, and the APO count is being performed while waiting for the key to be pressed. Therefore, even if a response request signal is received at the signal input terminal Si, it is ignored and no response signal is sent out. Therefore, in the electronic memo B, the process proceeds to step 870, and "Junshi mode" is displayed on the display section 5 (Fig. 23B (a)).
), 22- In step S71, it waits for C key manual input or signal input to the signal input terminal St. In this standby state, no operations other than the C key are accepted, and when the C key 33 is pressed, the communication state is canceled and the C key processing shown in FIG. 6 is performed.

On the other hand, in the electronic memo A, when the communication key 37 of the electronic memo A is pressed in this standby state, a response request signal is similarly sent out from the signal output terminal So in step 1. Since this signal is input to the signal input terminal St of electronic memo B, electronic memo B returns a response to the response request from electronic memo A (step 573), and step S74
Proceed to.

Electronic memo A, which has received the response from electronic memo B, proceeds to step 353, and its display unit 5 becomes a selection screen for sending in addition mode or update mode (Fig. 23A (a)). .

The addition mode is a mode in which data sent from the sending side (electronic memo A) is added to the data originally on the receiving side (?4 child memo B). Therefore, when communication is performed in this additional mode, the data that was originally on the 23-receiver side does not disappear and remains as it is. On the other hand, the update mode is a mode in which the receiving side receives and receives data from the transmitting side after the data stored before the start of communication is cleared.

Therefore, it is possible to completely copy the data on the sending side on the receiving side.

Whether to use the addition mode or the update mode is selected by pressing the [1] key or the [2] key in the character input key group 40 (step 4). Step S5
When the C key 33 is pressed in step 4, the C key processing described above is performed.

A case (a) in which the [1] key of electronic memo A is pressed and the add mode is selected in step S54 and a case (b) in which the [2] key is pressed and the update mode is selected will be explained. do.

(a) When the addition mode is selected, in step S54, [When the 1 key is pressed, an additional code is sent as a command code to the electronic memo B side (step 856), and "Storing" is displayed on the display section 5. In step S58 (FIG. 234A (b)), the leading data flag iA is set to O.

The first data flag fA is a flag indicating whether or not at least one piece of data has been transmitted, and is O when the first data has not been sent yet, and becomes 1 when at least one piece of data has been sent.

Electronic memo B, which has received the additional code (step 574), proceeds to step S77 without clearing the contents of RAM10 in step 876, and displays "Shipping" on the display unit 5 (FIG. 23B (b)). ). Thereafter, a transmission request code is sent to electronic memo A (step 87).
8).

When electronic memo A receives the transmission request code (step 5)
60), determine the leading data flag IA (step 5
60). If the head data flag IA is 0, the address at the head of the data to be transmitted is given to the pointer DA indicating the data address (step 562). If the first data flag iA is 1, the address of the data next to the previously sent data is given to the pointer DA (step 56
3).

25 Next, electronic memo A checks whether data exists at the address indicated by pointer DA (step 564).
. If the data exists, the data indicated by the pointer DA is loaded from the user data storage unit 10c to the human output buffer 10a (step 565), and a "data present" code is sent to the electronic memo B from the signal output terminal SO. do(
step 566). Electronic memo B that has received the "data present" code advances to step S81 and waits for reception of the data itself. Then, electronic memo A transfers the data body to electronic memo B.
(step 568). After receiving the data body (step 581), the electronic memo B temporarily stores it in the human output buffer 10a, and then stores the data in the input/output buffer 10a in the user data storage section 10c (step 582). Thereafter, the process returns to step 378 and requests electronic memo A to transmit the next data.

The electronic memo A that sent the data body has the first data flag i
Set A to 1 (step 36), then step S
The process returns to step 60 and waits for the transmission 26 request code from electronic memo B. Upon receiving the transmission request code from electronic memo B, data transmission similar to that described above is performed. If all data has been transmitted, it is determined in step S64 that there is no data, and the process advances to step S67. In step S67, electronic memo A is "no data".
Send the food to electronic memo B and proceed to C key processing.

Electronic memo B, which has received the "no data" code (step 579), proceeds to the C key process from step S80. In this way, the communication process for both type memos A and B ends, and the display section 5 returns to the initial screen.

(b) When the update mode is selected If the [2] key is pressed in step S54,
The same processing as in case (a) above is performed except for the following processing. Update code as command code is electronic memo B
(step 557). Electronic memo B that has received the update code (Stennob 574) executes step 374.
Proceed to step S76 to clear the contents of RAMI O, then proceed to step 377, and display "
23B (Fig. 23B (b)).

In the above-mentioned communication, if the transmission and reception of codes and data is interrupted due to some reason (eg, disconnection of the communication line, insufficient memory capacity of electronic memo B), an error occurs. When such an error occurs, the error processing shown in FIG. 22 is performed.

If an error occurs in steps S60, S66, and 368 in FIG. 21B (these errors are particularly referred to as "errors during data transmission"), processing begins at step 5102 in FIG. 22. If an error occurs at another location (these errors are referred to as "normal errors"), processing is performed from step 5101.

In step 5101 of FIG. 22, the error occurrence state flag ERD is set to 0, and in step 5102, the error occurrence state flag ERD is set to l.

The error occurrence status flag ERD is a flag indicating which of the two types of errors described above. The process proceeds to step 5103, and the fact that an error has occurred is indicated on the display unit 5 (Fig. 2328-C (a)). After that, C
It waits for the key 33 to be pressed (step 5104). C
When the key 33 is pressed, the process advances to step 5105 and the state of the error occurrence state flag ERD is checked.

When the error occurrence state flag ERD is O (normal error), the flow advances to the C key process in FIG. 6, and the display section 5 becomes an initial screen as shown in FIG. 23(C). If the error occurrence status flag ERD is 1 (error during data transmission), the process advances to step 5107, and the data being transmitted (
The contents of the address indicated by the pointer DA are loaded into the human output buffer 10a, and the contents of the human output buffer 10a are loaded.
Shifts to a routine that displays the contents of . Figure 23C (b
) shows an example display in this case.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the electronic device of the present invention, it is possible to decide at the time of data transmission whether to erase the data in the receiving electronic device and send the data, or to send the data with the data saved.
