According to the information set in the setting information storage memory 8,
Data is transferred from the copy source item of the card data save memory 12 to the copy destination item of the input card data memory 11.

A data card is created under the control of the above-mentioned database control unit 3, but the maximum size of one card is 40 characters × 30 lines, and the maximum number of items per card is 40 items, 1
The number of file cards is set to about 2000 at maximum. The database control unit 3 also has a search function and a calculation function. This calculation function can perform in-card calculation (four arithmetic operations, sum, average, maximum, minimum) and all card through calculation (sum, average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation).

Although not shown, the database control unit 3 is connected to a ROM storing various control information and various message information, a printer unit for printing the created card data, and the like. The database control unit 3 executes the control operation according to the control information stored in the ROM. Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

When performing item copying between different cards, the item copying between cards is set in advance. In this case, first, in the "new card design" or "card redesign" processing, the processing item of "inter-card item copy setting" is selected. When this processing item is selected, the inter-card item copy setting unit 7 operates according to a command from the database control unit 3, and the control operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 is performed.

First, in step A1 of FIG.
The inter-card copy setting screen shown in is displayed on the display device 5 via the display control unit 4. In this case, the number of characters in one line is 40 and the number of lines in one page is 20 in the display screen, and the screen is divided into an upper screen 21 and a lower screen 22 for display. On the upper screen 21, the database creation items and processing contents, for example, "[Household account book] New card design / Item copy between cards" are displayed on the first line, and "Copy source item" and "Copy" on and after the second line. Display the designation screen for the “Forward item”.

Further, the lower screen 22 displays setting item names such as "carry forward", "balance", etc., and the bottom line is used as a guide area 23. [After selecting the item name to be the copy source with the cursor, Press the select / execute key]
Is displayed. Further, the work content, for example, [“function 1” + “1” setting completion “2” deletion “3” batch deletion] ”is displayed in the upper line of the guide area 23. This display shows "Function 1" key and numeric keys "1", "2", "3"
It indicates that the processing of "setting end", "delete", and "collective deletion" are designated by the combination operation of. When the "function 1" + "1" key is pressed, it is considered that the inter-card item copy setting has been completed, and the process proceeds to file creation. "Function 1" +
When the "2" key is pressed, the process proceeds to inter-card item copy deletion processing. When the "function 1" + "3" key is pressed, the process proceeds to the inter-card item copy batch deletion process.

On the setting screen shown in FIG. 3, the item name to be the copy source, for example, "balance", is selected by the cursor 24 or the numerical keys.
And press the "Select / Execute" key (step A2
), An error check is performed to see if the designated items are duplicated, and if there is no error, the selected copy item name “balance” is displayed in the “copy source item” field on the upper screen 21 as shown in FIG. Display (step A3). At this time, in the guide area 23, a message "Please select the item name to be the copy destination with the cursor and press the select / execute key" is displayed.

In this state, select the item name of the copy destination with the cursor 24, for example, "carry forward" and press the "select / execute" key (step A4). As shown in FIG. The "carry forward" is displayed in the "copy destination item" field (step A5). At this time, the guide display of the guide area 23 and the lines above the guide area 23 is returned to the same state as the copy source item selection screen of FIG. 3 to prepare for the next copy source item selection, setting end, deletion and the like. After the display of the copy destination item, it is judged whether the setting is continued or finished as shown in step A6, and when the copy source item is selected, the process returns to step A2 to perform the setting operation, and "function 1" + "1"
When the key is pressed, the setting operation ends. The above setting data is stored in the setting information storage memory 8.

After setting the item copying between cards as described above, if any item in the setting items is deleted,
Press "Function 1" + numeric key "2", and press "Function 1" + numeric key "3" to delete all setting items at once. By this operation, the following deletion processing is executed.

That is, when the "function 1" + "1" key is pressed, the "inter-card item copy deletion screen" is displayed as shown in FIG. On this screen, one of the "copy source item" and "copy destination item" is displayed with the cursor 24, and the message "Please select the copy item to delete with the cursor and press the select / execute key" is displayed in the guide area 23. Is displayed. Although FIG. 6 shows a case where one "copy source item" and one "copy destination item" are set, when plural items are set, the cursor keys "↓" and "↑" are used to arbitrarily select them. be able to. In this state, select the item to be deleted and press the "Select / execute" key. With the cursor displayed for the selected item, the message "Are you sure you want to delete?" Display the guide contents of [Yes → Select / Enter key No → Cancel key]. When the "Select / Execute" key is pressed in this state, the card-to-card item copy setting section 7

After the inter-card item copy setting is performed by the following, when the card is input to move to the next card, the inter-card item copy execution control unit 10 in FIG. 1 shows the flowchart of FIG. Execute item copy.

That is, when the card design and the inter-card item copy setting are completed, the process proceeds to the file creation process, and the input card is displayed on the display device 5 in step B1 of FIG. If you enter the card data in this state (step B
2) Then, it is judged whether or not it is the next card input, and if it is the data input for the first card, the inter-card item copy processing is ended without performing the copy operation, and the processing for the input data is proceeded to. Thereafter, similarly, each time data is input, it is determined whether or not it is an input to the next card, and if it is not the next card, the item copy processing is not performed.

When the data input to the first card is completed and the process for the next card is started, the state is detected at step B3 and the process proceeds to step B4. In this step B4, the previous card data held in the input card data memory 11 is transferred to the card data save memory 12
, And then the input card data memory 11 is initialized (step B5). After that, the inter-card item copy execution control unit 10 transfers the data input of the transfer source item of the card data save memory 12 to the transfer destination item of the card data memory 11 according to the setting information of the setting information storage memory 8 as shown in step B6. , Return to step B1. As described above, the item copy between cards is automatically performed when the data input of the next card is started. Other items are entered by key operation.

Now, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, with respect to the card of the household account book, the items of "carry-over money", "meal charges", "transportation expenses", and "remaining money" are set and the formulas are set. After that, when the "meal cost" and "transportation expenses" are entered when creating the Nth card, the balance is automatically calculated. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the next card (N + 1th card) is created, the balance of the Nth card, for example, “3”
000 ”is automatically input and displayed as the carry-forward money on the N + 1th card. If you enter the "meal fee" and "transportation expenses" in this state, the balance will be calculated as above,
In addition, the balance will be automatically input to the next card. In the above card creation, for the first card, the copy destination item, that is, "carry-forward" in the example of FIG. 9, can be keyed in.

In addition, the inter-card item copy is not performed for changing the previous card by displaying an arbitrary card, changing an arbitrary card narrowed down by the card search, changing a card after inserting a card, and the like. As described above, the recorded data of one card can be automatically copied to the designated item of the next card, and the efficiency of card creation can be significantly improved. (Second embodiment)

The second embodiment is for copying and moving data between items on a card, and is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, the input data from the keyboard 1 is input to the database control unit 3 via the input control unit 2.

When this separate card key is operated, it is determined in step C12 that this key has been pressed, the separate card is read from the card data storage memory 14 and displayed on the screen (step C13). When another card is not designated, the copy destination is designated by operating the cursor key on the screen of FIG. In response to the operation of this cursor key, the cursor 24 is moved to a designated position, for example, the leading digit position of the item "B". After that, select /
When the "execute" key is pressed, the temporary storage data of the data storage buffer 15 is written at the position of the item designated by the cursor, in this case, at the leading digit position of the item "B" as shown in FIG. C15). Although the copy processing is completed and the screen returns to the data input screen as described above, when the "insert" key is pressed instead of the "select / execute" key in the copy destination specifying screen of FIG. Again, the above copy operation is repeated.

When the data movement is designated instead of the copy designation, the designated data of the copy source is temporarily stored in the data storage buffer 15 as in the case of copying, and then the data of the copy source is deleted. , The data stored in the data storage buffer 15 is written to the position designated by the cursor. Data arbitrarily designated as described above can be copied and moved to an arbitrary position on the same card or another card. (Third embodiment)
