Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 3 and 4. (B) Operation when a specific six day is selected by the six day register Sd, no specific day is selected by the day register Y, and the value of the current month flag FA is 0 and the current month is designated In step S1 of 3, it is determined whether or not there is a switch input. If there is no switch input, the process proceeds to step S3, it is determined that the current month flag FA has a value of 0 and the current month is designated, and the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the 6th day designated by the 6th day register Sd is selected and the character display body of the 6th day display body portion 11 is lit and displayed. In this case, the character display body of the display body unit 10 of this month is also displayed to indicate that the 6th day information being displayed is that of the current month. Next, in step S5, a process of displaying the day of the week specified by the day of the week register Y on the first dot display section 12 is performed. In this case, the code number 0 is set in the day of the week register Y and the specific day of the week is specified. Since it is not displayed, no day of the week is displayed on the first dot display section 12. In the following step S6, the 6th day of the month (for example, Daian) designated by the 6th day register Sd is searched from the 6th day storage unit 7, and the 6th day of the specified 6th day is searched. Of the days, a day corresponding to the day designated by the day of the week register Y is obtained, and the date is displayed on the specific six-day-of-week display unit 14. In this case, the particular day of the week is designated by the day of the week register Y. Therefore, all the dates of the specific 6th day searched as described above are displayed on the specific 6th day with display section 14 on the specific 6th day with display section 14. In step S7, the number of days of the specific 6th day retrieved from the 6th day storage unit 7 as described above is displayed on the specific 6th day number display unit 13, and in step S8, the date of the current day from the calendar counting circuit 5 is displayed. To retrieve the 6th day of the month, retrieve the 6th day storage section 7, and display the 6th day of the obtained day.
The frame display body around the print characters of the 6th day print display section 16 indicating the 6th day is turned on. Next, in step S9, it is determined whether or not the value of the display data flag FB is 0, and when it is 0 and the time display is displayed, step S9 is performed.
10, the current time from the time counting circuit 4 is displayed on the main display unit 17, but when the value of the display data flag FB is 1 and the display of the date of the day is instructed, the above step S9 is performed. From step S11 to the main display unit 17
And the second dot display section 18 displays the current day and day of the week from the calendar counting circuit 5, and turns on the day of the week display 19. Step S10 or S11
After the processing of step 1 is completed, the process returns to step S1 and the same operation is repeated thereafter.

For example, Daian is designated by the six-day register Sd, and the number of days of Daian is 5 in this month, and those dates are 2, 8, 14, 20, 24, and 30 days,
Further, when the display of the date and the like is specified by the display data flag FB and the day is the red mouth on Saturday, November 21, the display of the display unit 9 becomes as shown in FIG.

(B) Operation when the day-of-the-week selection switch is operated in the above state (a) and a specific day-of-the-week code number is set in the day-of-week register Y to specify the day of the week. In this case, the day-of-the-week selection switch is operated. It is detected in step S1 that there is a switch operation every time, and step S1
2, that is, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG.
It is determined in 7 that the day of the week selection switch has been operated, and in step S28 the day code number of the day register Y is changed to specify a specific day. After the specific day of the week is designated by the day of the week register Y in this way, the same processing as described above is executed in steps S3 and S4 of FIG. 3 and step S5.
Then, the day specified by the day register Y is displayed in dots on the first dot display section 12, and after that, step S
In 6, the six days of the month (for example, Daian) designated by the six-day register Sd are searched from the six-day storage unit 7, and among the specific six-day days searched in this way. , The day corresponding to the day of the week specified by the day of the week register Y is sought, and only that day is specified.
To display. After finishing the process of step S6, the process proceeds to steps S7 to S11 to execute the same process as described above.

For example, in the state shown in FIG.
Operate the day of the week selection switch only once to set the day of the week register Y.
When the code number of 0 is set to 0 to 1 and Sunday is specified, and only 8 days of Daian days shown in (a) of the figure are Sundays, the display of the display unit 9 is It becomes something like b.

(C) Operation when the 6th day selection switch is operated to change the 6th day specified by the 6th day register Sd in the state of (a) In this case, the switch is operated every time the 6th day selection switch is operated. It is detected in step S1 of FIG. 3 that the operation has been performed, and the process proceeds to step S2, that is, the flowchart of FIG. 4. In step S25, it is determined that the six-day selection switch has been operated. We will change the day code number and change the designation of 6th day. After the new 6th day is designated by the 6th day register Sd in this way, the new 6th day is displayed in the character display body of the 6th day display unit 11 in step S4 through step S3 of FIG.
After step S5, the process proceeds to step S6. Step S6
Then, in the same manner as described above, all the dates of the current month relating to the newly selected 6th day are displayed on the specific 6th weekday display section 14, and the number of days is displayed on the specific 6th day number display section 13 in step S7. After the processing of step S7 is completed, steps S9-
In S11, the same process as described above is executed, and the process returns to step S1.

For example, in the state of FIG. 5A, the six-day selection switch is operated only three times to change the six-day designation by the six-day register Sd from Daian to Yomohi, and there are five Yomi days on this month. When those dates are 5, 11, 17, 23, and 27 days, the display on the display unit 9 is as shown by c in FIG.

(D) Operation when confirming the 6th day information of the month other than the current month The state of (a), that is, the 6th day information of the current month is the 6th day display section 11 and the specific 6th day number display section 13 In order to confirm the 6th day information of the month other than the current month from the state displayed on the display section 14 with the specific 6th day of the week, the 6th day display section 11,
In order to display on the specific six-day number display section 13, the specific six-day-with-display section 14, etc., while watching the main display section 17, the switch section 8 is operated until the target year and month data are displayed. Operate the plus January switch or minus January switch.

When there is the first one of the above switch operations, the process proceeds from step S1 of FIG. 3 to step S2, that is, the flowchart of FIG. 4, and then step S30 or S36.
In step S31 or S37, it is determined that the switch operated in step 1 is the plus January switch or the minus January switch.
To clear the timer TM. Then, in step S32 or S38, it is determined that the value of the current month flag FA is still 0 and the 6th day information display state of the current month is displayed, and the value of the current month flag FA is set to 1 in the next step S33 or S39. , The fact that the 6th day information of other months other than the current month is displayed is stored. Next, in step S34 or S40, the year / month data of the current month is first set in the year / month designation register X, and thereafter,
In step S35 or S41, this year / month designation register X
The year-month data of is the data after or before January, that is, next month or last month.

After that, the process proceeds to step S3 of FIG. 3 and it is confirmed that the value of the current month flag FA is not 0, and the process proceeds to step S15 to set the specific six day designated by the six day register Sd. The character display of the six-day display unit 11 is selectively turned on and displayed, and in step S16, the process of displaying the day of the week designated by the day-of-week register Y on the first dot display unit 12 is executed. Since a specific day of the week is not designated by Y, no day of the week is displayed on the first dot display section 12,
It proceeds to the next step S17. In step S17, the day of the month designated by the year / month designation register X (that is, the next month or the previous month) is the specific 6th day designated by the 6th day register Sd, and is designated by the dayday register Y. The date which belongs to the day of the week is searched from the 6th day storage section 7 and displayed on the display section 14 with the specified 6th day of the week. In this case, the specific day of the week is designated by the day of the week register Y. Not specified, so the year / month designation register X
The dates of all the days belonging to the specific 6th day specified by the 6th day register Sd among the days of the month specified by are displayed on the display section 14 with the specific 6th day.
Next, in step S18, the number of days belonging to the specific 6th day specified by the 6th day register Sd in the days of the month specified by the year / month specification register X is obtained, and this is displayed in the specific 6th day number display unit 13. indicate. Next, at step S19, the year / month designated by the year / month designation register X is displayed on the main display portion 17.

After that, in step S20, it is checked whether or not the 1 Hz signal is sent from the frequency dividing circuit 3. If not sent, the process returns to step S1. If it is sent, the process goes to step S21. The count time of the advance timer TM is made longer by 1 second, and it is determined in step S22 that the count time of the timer TM has not reached the predetermined time α yet, and the process returns to step S1. From this step S1
After S3, the process proceeds to steps S15 to S22, and a series of operations for executing the same processing as described above is repeated until the counting time of the timer TM reaches the fixed time α. When the counting time of the timer TM reaches the fixed time α,
This is detected in step S22, the value of the current month flag FA is reset to 0 in step S23, and the display of the six days of the month information is returned. That is, even if the 6th day information of the month other than the current month is displayed by the switch operation, the 6th day information of the current month is automatically displayed unless the plus January switch or the minus January switch is operated within a certain time as described later. Will return.

For example, when the plus January switch is operated only once in the state shown in FIG. 5a, that is, in the state shown in FIG. 6a, the main display unit 17 indicates the next month as shown in FIG. The year / month data (December 1992) is displayed, and the six-day indicator 11 displays six days designated by the six-day register Sd, that is, Daian, and the specific six-day associated display section 14 displays Date of Daian Day next month (6, 12, 1
(8th, 29th) is displayed, and the specific six-day number display section 1
In 3, the number of days of the day of Daian is displayed.

As described above, while the operation corresponding to the first operation of the plus January switch or the minus January switch is being performed, that is, before the automatic return is performed, the second time of the above switch, When the third operation is performed, ...
These operations are detected in step S30 or S36 of FIG. 4, the timer TM is cleared in step S31 or S37 (that is, the counting of the time for the automatic return is restarted), and the current month flag F is detected in step S32 or S38.
After confirming that the value of A is already 1 instead of 0, the process proceeds to step S35 or S41, and the year / month designation register X
The year-month data of will be taken as one month later or before. After that, step S15 of FIG.
In step S23, the operation of displaying the 6th day information in the month newly designated by the year / month designation register X is performed as described above.

Incidentally, when the 6th day information of the current month is displayed on the display section 14 with the specific 6th day of the week, that is, when the value of the current month flag FA is 0 (the display state is, for example, the state of FIG. 5a). The display on the main display unit 17 can be switched to the time display, but at this time, the display changeover switch of the switch unit 8 is operated. In this case, the operation is performed in step S45 of FIG.
In step S46, it is determined that the value of the current month flag FA is 0, and then the display data flag FB is changed from 1 to 0 in step S47. As a result, the time is displayed on the main display unit 17 in the subsequent processing of steps S9 to S11 of FIG. Further, when the time is displayed on the main display portion 17 as described above and the time is returned to the display of the date, substantially the same operation is performed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
