Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a schedule input device that electronically stores a schedule set by key input.

[Prior Art and its Problems] Conventionally, as a schedule input device for storing a user's schedule, there is, for example, a calculator equipped with a scheduler, which is a calculator with a schedule function added thereto.

In such a calculator with a scheduler, when registering a schedule, conventionally, each schedule is input and set for each date. When registering a schedule, for example, the same content is often registered on a specific date of each month, but in such cases, with the conventional registration method, the work of setting and registering items along with each date is done every month It is necessary to do this every time, and the number of key operations becomes extremely large.
The drawback was that it was time consuming.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to register a schedule by specifying an arbitrary date, and when registering a schedule of fixed items for each month, it is possible to register a schedule by specifying an arbitrary date. To provide a schedule input device capable of registering all specific days in a setting range by a simple registration operation using keys.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention combines a means for inputting a schedule on a specific date and a means for inputting a schedule on specific days of each month within a predetermined range. This allows you to register for all specific days of each month by just registering once.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the circuit configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. In the same figure, reference numeral 11 indicates a key input section, including a numeric key 1, a function key 2, an alphabet/kana key 3, an rDATEJ key 4 for setting the date, an rTIMEJ key 5 for setting the time, a "~" key 6 for specifying an interval, Schedule key 1
, a registration key 8. Then, the key input section 1
The data input from 1 is sent to the control section 12. The control unit 12 is configured with a ROM that stores various control programs, for example, and responds to a termination signal from the key input unit 11 or termination determination unit 13 by displaying a display selection signal, input data, registration key signal, DATE, etc. Outputs various control signals such as signals, year/month data, "~" key signal, date data, etc. The display selection signal output from the control section 12 is sent to the display selection section 14, and the input data is sent to the input data storage section 15 and the morning/afternoon determination section 16. Further, the registration signal is sent to the input data storage section 15 and the morning/afternoon determining section 16 as a data read signal.

Furthermore, the registration signal and the DATE signal are sent as a data write signal to the year/month data storage section 18a via the OR circuit 17, and the "~" key signal is sent to the final year/month data storage section 18a.
b as a write command. Further, the date data is sent to and stored in one date data storage section. Further, from the control section 12, key input data from the key input section 11 is directly sent to a display control section 27, which will be described later.

Accordingly, the display selection section 14 selectively specifies the schedule storage section 21, set mark storage section 22, and calendar ROM 23 in accordance with instructions from the control section 12. The set mark storage section 22 includes the morning/afternoon determination section 1
It memorizes the set mark according to the judgment result in step 6.
For example, if there is a schedule in the morning, a set mark of "ma" is stored, and if there is a schedule in the afternoon, a set mark of "mu" is stored. Furthermore, the calendar ROM 23 stores in advance monthly calendar information for a plurality of years. The input data storage section 15 has its stored contents read out in response to a registration signal from the control section 12 and sent to the schedule storage section 21 . The registration signal is sequentially outputted from the control unit 12 each time the schedule key 7 is operated. The morning/afternoon determination unit 1G determines whether the input data is morning or afternoon, and outputs a set mark to the set mark storage unit 22 according to the determination result. In addition, the year/month data storage unit 1
The memory contents of 8a are sent to the "+1" circuit 24, and are also sent to the address designation section 25 and the calendar address designation section 26.
sent to. The “+1” circuit 24 is connected to the year/month data storage unit 1
The data from 8a is converted to r+1J and outputted to the end determination section 13 and the year/month data storage section 18a. The above-mentioned end judgment section 13
compares the final year and month data set in the final year and month data storage section 18b with the year and month data input from the "+1" circuit 24 to determine whether or not the process has ended, and ends when the end is detected. A signal is output to the control section 12.

The date data input and set in the date data storage section 19 is sent to the address designation section 25. The address specification section 25 specifies the addresses of the schedule storage section 21 and the set mark storage section 22 according to the data stored in the year/month data storage section 18a and the date data storage section 19, and the calendar address specification section 26 specifies the addresses of the schedule storage section 21 and the set mark storage section 22 according to the stored data in the year/month data storage section 18a and the date data storage section 19. The address of the calendar ROM 23 is specified according to the stored data. The data stored in the schedule storage section 21, set mark storage section 22, and calendar ROM 23 are then sent to the display control section 27. This display control section 27 outputs the data stored in the schedule storage section 21, calendar ROM 23, set mark storage section 22, and key input data from the control section 12 to the display buffer 128.

(C) Finally, operate the registration key 8.

When the registration key 8 is operated, the registration processing operation shown in FIG. 2 is started, and first, in step A1, it is determined whether or not the "~" key 6 is operated. In this case, since the "~" key 6 has not been operated, the process advances to step A2, where the data stored in the year/month data storage section 18a and the date data storage section 19 is sent to the address specification section 25, The address specifying unit 25 causes the schedule storage unit 21 and the set mark storage unit 22 to have an address “85”.
"August 15, 2018" is specified. Next, the process proceeds to step A3, where the data r1 stored in the input data storage section 15 is
3:00 MEETINGJ is read out and shown in Figure 5 (a
), "August 15th" is registered in the schedule storage section 21, and the judgment result of the morning/afternoon judgment section 16 is sent to the set mark storage section 22, and "afternoon" is registered in the specified address. A set mark indicating this is registered. Further, the data stored in the year/month data storage section 18a is sent to the calendar address specifying section 26, and the calendar address specifying section 26 selects the addresses of calendars RO to 123, that is, the calendar "August 1985". The address that stores the is specified. At this time, the display selection unit 14 selects the calendar ROM 23 and the set mark storage unit 22 based on the command from the control unit 12, so the calendar “August 1985” is read out from the calendar ROM 23, and the set mark The set mark set in the storage section 22 is read out and sent to the display control section 27. This display control section 27 outputs data from the calendar ROM 23 and set mark storage section 22 to the display buffer 28,
As shown in FIG. 3(C), a calendar for "August 1985" is displayed on the display section 29.

In this case, in FIG. 3(C), the "mu" display is a set mark, indicating that the schedule is registered for the afternoon of the "15th." Note that the morning schedule is displayed with a "ma" mark.

Next, a case will be described in which a schedule with the same content is registered on a specific date within a certain range, for example, a schedule of r9:00 MEETINGJ is registered on the 28th of each month from August to October 1985. When registering the above schedule, the following key operations (a) to (C) are performed.

(a) First, 85 rDATEJ 8 rDATEJ r～”85
rDATEJ 10 Perform key operations for rDATEJ "Schedule". The year, month, and day data r85jr8J to "85" and "10" inputted by this key operation are sent from the control section 12 to the display anatomy section 27, and are shown in FIG.
As shown in a), it is displayed on the left side of the display section 29. In addition, in the above month and year data, "August 1985" is the year and month data storage section 18a.

"October 1985" is stored in the final year/month data storage section 18b. In this case, the final year/month data storage section 18b is
By the operation signal of the "~" key 6, the year/month data "October 1985" input thereafter is stored as the final year/month data.

(b) Then 28 rDATEJ 9 rT IMEJoorTIM

:oo The MEETINGJ schedule is additionally displayed. Also, by the above key operation, "28th is date data storage section 19゜r9: OOJ is morning/afternoon judgment section 16゜r9:OO
MEETINGJ is stored in the input data storage section 15.

(C) Next, operate the registration key 8.

By operating the registration key 8, the registration process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 is executed. First, step A1
It is determined whether the "~" key 6 is operated or not.
In this example, since the "~" key 6 has been operated, the process advances to step A4, and the data stored in the year/month data storage section 18a and the date data storage section 19 is transferred to the address specification section 25.
The address of "August 28, 1985" is specified in the schedule storage section 21 and set mark storage section 22. Next, the process proceeds to step A5, and the stored data r9:oo MEETINGJ of the input data storage section 15 is
is read out and stored in the specified address "August 28, 1985" in the schedule storage section 21 as shown in FIG. The mark "ma" is output and stored in the set mark storage section 22. In this case, display selection section 1
4 selects the set mark storage section 22 and calendar ROM 23 in accordance with instructions from the control section 12. Therefore, from the calendar ROM 23, the calendar for "August 1985" is sent to the display controller 27 by the calendar address designator 26.
The data is read out and displayed on the display unit 29 as shown in FIG. 4(C). Also, at this time, 2
The set mark for "August 1985" is read out to the display control unit 27, and the set mark for "Mu" is set for the "15th" of the calendar displayed on the display unit 29, and the set mark for "Mu" is set for the "28th". A set mark "Ma" is displayed.

On the other hand, the data "August 1985" in the year/month data storage section 18a is incremented by "+1" by the "+1" circuit 24 to become "September 1985" as shown in step 80, and the end judgment section 1
3, and as shown in step A7, it is determined whether the final year/month data in the final year/month data storage section 18b is greater than "October 1985". In this case, the determination result in step A7 is No, and the process proceeds to step 88, where special effects are carried out until the schedule key 7 is operated next.

The user then confirms the schedule registration for "August 1985" from the display content shown in FIG. 4(C), and operates the schedule key 7 after confirmation.

By operating this schedule key 7, a registration signal is output from the control unit 12 and sent to the year/month data storage unit 18a as a write signal. The registration signal causes the process of step 88 in FIG. 2 to be executed, and the year/month data "September 1985" output from the "+1" circuit 24 is written into the year/month data storage section 18a.

After that, the process returns to step A4, and as described above, the year and month data in the year and month data storage section 18a and the date data storage section 19
Based on the date data, the addresses of the schedule storage section 21 and set mark storage section 22 are specified. Next, the stored contents of the input data storage section 15 are sent to the schedule storage section 21, and the schedule "r9: MEETING" is registered at "September 28, 1985" as shown in FIG. 5(b). At the same time, the judgment data output from the morning/afternoon judgment section 16 is sent to the set mark storage section 22, and the set mark "Ma" is stored at "September 28, 1985". Further, the address of the calendar ROM 23 is specified by the calendar address designation unit 26 based on the year and month data stored in the year and month data storage unit 18a,
The calendar for "September 1985" is read out from the calendar ROM 23 and displayed on the display control section 27 as shown in FIG. 4(d). At this time, the set mark "Mago" is displayed on the "September" calendar on the "28th" according to the stored contents of the set mark storage section 22.

Thereafter, the same process is repeated, and the year/month data storage section 18a
The stored data [September 1985 j] is incremented by ``+1'' by the ``+1'' circuit 24 to become ``October 1985'', and the program waits in step 88 until the schedule key 7 is operated next.

In the above state, the user checks the schedule registration status of "September 1985" from the display content on the display unit 29, and
After that, schedule key 7 is operated. By operating this schedule key 7, the process of step 88 is executed as described above, and the "+1" circuit 24 outputs "8".
The year and month data of ``October 2005'' is written into the year and month data storage section 18a. As a result, the address specifying section 25 specifies the address of "October 28, 1985" in the schedule storage section 21, and the address shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, data r9:oo MEETINGJ stored in the input data storage section 15 is written. Also, at this time, the set mark "ma" is stored at the address "October 28, 1985" in the set mark storage unit 22. Furthermore, the calendar for "October 1985" in the calendar ROM 23 is read out by the calendar address designation section 26 to the display control section 27, and is displayed on the display control section 27 as shown in FIG. 4(e). Also, in this calendar for "October", the set mark "ma" is displayed on the "28th" according to the stored contents of the set mark storage section 22, as in the above case.

Therefore, when the schedule from "August" to "October" is registered as described above, thereafter, as shown in step A, the stored data "October 1985" in the year/month data storage section 18a is changed to E+1. ” circuit 24, it is “fl” and becomes “November 1985”. As a result, the final year and month data “1985
Output data of the "+1" circuit 24 from "October 1985"
Month j is larger, and the judgment result in step A7 is YE.
The result is S, and the schedule registration process ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to have both a means for inputting a schedule on a specific date and a means for inputting a schedule all at once on specific days of each month within a predetermined range. This allows you to register a schedule by specifying any date, and when registering schedules for fixed items for each month, you can register all of the specific days in the setting range with a simple registration operation using a series of keys. It can be registered in , and can have extremely great practical effects.
