[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of portable information terminals and computers in recent years, improvements in user interfaces have been desired.

Conventionally, a database, a spreadsheet (spreadsheet), a dedicated business application, or the like is generally used to collect and tabulate numerical data (for example, schedule data and pocketbook data) generated daily. It was a target.

In order to use this kind of database, it is necessary to design a data structure, an input screen, a tallying application, and the like, and customize them as necessary. For this reason, the database had to be well-known, and not everyone could use it easily.

[0005] In addition, many databases are general-purpose databases and can be customized, but they must understand macro languages and the like, and cannot be said to be simple. In particular, when there are restrictions on available resources such as portable information terminals, it has been almost impossible to change or customize the database application.

On the other hand, in order to use a spreadsheet, it is necessary to design a sheet and embed an aggregation method in this sheet as a macro calculation equation. In this case, since the sheet covers the entire input screen, there is a problem that when the number of input items increases, it is troublesome to move the cursor to the position of the input item. In particular, on a narrow screen of a portable information terminal or the like, the input items and the aggregation result cannot be displayed at the same time. In addition, to describe or change the macro calculation formula for aggregation, specialized knowledge on macros was required.

Further, in order to use a business application, it is necessary to change or customize an input item, an input screen, a tally calculation formula, and the like. For this purpose, the business application must be familiarized. Not everyone was readily available.

[0008] The computer and the portable information terminal have a function of managing personal data (schedule and the like).
In addition, date and time are closely related to numerical data (personal data). However, the function of managing a personal schedule cannot be reflected in applications such as a calendar and a scheduler. For example, even if data corresponding to a date is input to a spreadsheet, the date cannot be reflected in applications such as a calendar and a scheduler.

[0009]

As described above, in the prior art, it is complicated to link numerical data related to a date and a date and time that occur every day to a time management processing unit such as a calendar and a scheduler.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing technique which simplifies an input interface and facilitates processing of numerical data related to date and time.

More specifically, in cooperation with a calendar or a scheduler, a plurality of types of numerical data generated daily are collected, the collected numerical data is automatically stored, classified and totalized, and the totaling result is displayed. It can be performed with simple operations, the list of numerical data and the total result are displayed at the same time, the contents of the total and the formula can be customized according to the purpose, the numerical data once stored can be viewed and corrected, and the numerical data Provides a data processing device that can extract necessary information by processing data in various ways, and can notify when there is an input omission of data to be collected periodically or when a preset target value is achieved.

The conditions for generating such an alarm are shown in FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. Here, as shown in FIG. 23, this is an example of counting the diet records, and the target weight is 48 kg. The operator sets a target weight (48 kg in this case) in advance and stores the target weight in the hard disk device 14 (HDD). Then, the user inputs his / her weight on the template through the keyboard 20 every day. The date and weight entered here are recorded in the hard disk drive 14 (HDD). On the other hand, the processor 12
A date reading unit 121 and a weight reading unit 12 each composed of a (CPU) and a program stored in a memory 16 (RAM).
According to 2, the date and weight are read and compared with the target value 123. Here, the difference is calculated (124), and when the difference value becomes 0, it is determined that the target weight has been reached and the diet has been successful, and the alarm output 126 is performed together with the display output 125. Here, the display output 125 is
For example, it means something that can be visually grasped such as blinking the display screen, and the alarm output 126 means something that can be grasped audibly such as a beep sound or a fanfare sound.

The numerical data can be input from an external program, a connected device, or the like in addition to the keyboard and the touch pen. Therefore, numerical data can be easily linked with an external program, a connected device, or the like.

Further, since the numerical data is inputted in relation to the date, the numerical data (stock price information etc.) relating to the event can be inputted accurately. In addition, since numerical data can be stored in one file, troublesome file management is not required.
