Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic memory device for recording, classifying, updating and restoring data relating to household purchases, in particular the nature, quantity, volume or weight of the products necessary for the preparation of a cooking recipe.
- the present invention proposes to fill this gap by providing the housewife with an efficient and simple-to-use device enabling it to easily manage household purchases in the form of a permanent electronic notebook for storing and restoring at any time. the data required for this purpose.
- the device is characterized in that it comprises a directory of cooking recipes, - a directory of product families, a directory of products by family, a device for recording and updating these directories, a calculation unit for determining the quantities, volumes or weights of products required for this culinary preparation according to a given number of guests, a memory unit for storing the list of products to buy, a device recording and updating the list of products to buy, a display unit for cooking recipes, corresponding products and the quantities, volumes and weights determined by the unit for calculating these products to be purchased, and function keys for entering or exiting data from the directories.
- the device comprises. in addition to the means of recording and accounting for the costs of said household purchases.
- said means include a numeric keyboard and function keys corresponding to the four elementary operations.
- Figure 1 and only shows a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the device described is a memory aid intended for the housewife to facilitate her purchases and possibly an effective accessory for managing a household budget.

- a key 20 marked “POINTER” makes it possible to point the purchases and thereby verify whether all the necessary products registered in memory have been acquired.
- a key 21 marked “PRICE” is used to record the purchase price. This key is used in conjunction with a numeric keypad 22 which further comprises the keys for elementary arithmetic functions 23.
- the budget function defined by a key 25 marked "BUDGET" is optional. The fact of not using it does not in any way hinder the proper functioning of the preceding functions considered as basic functions. It allows the user to set an amount of expenditure for a month and / or for a day of purchases.
- the user can use the 25 "BUDGET” key to display the message “budget of the month” or “budget of the day”, if he presses the key 14 then a key 27 marked “DISPLAY "so that the budget amount is entered on the upper part 11A of the screen and the" remains available "on the lower part 11B.
- the device can also be used as a calculator when the user presses a key 28 marked "CALCULETTE".
- a clock function is obtained by pressing a key 29 marked "TIME-DATE" and can be used for memorizing parking time.
- Two keys 30 and 31 marked respectively "ON / C” and “OFF” allow to ensure the switching on and off of the device.
- a key 32 marked “CE” performs the erase function.
