In doing so, the control data is composed of valid key control data (KCD) which is an index number of a valid key table which specifies validity or invalidity for all keys on the keyboard.

(6) a control data buffer as control data storage means for sequentially storing the control data each time a work to be processed is designated from the work designation key of the keyboard (3);
(7) A screen display data control unit which writes control data of an initial screen from the initial screen control data buffer (5) to the control data buffer (6) under the control of the main control unit (1) when the power is turned on. , (8) is a screen display data creating section for creating screen display data to be displayed on the display (9) based on the control data read from the control data buffer (6). It has machining parts (8 ₁ ), (8 ₂ ),... For each job and for each mode.

(10) is a work data memory for storing data created by processing for each work and data used for the processing. For example, when the work is a calendar, the number of days of the month to be displayed, the day of the week, the Sunday of the day And fixed data such as holidays and designated dates. When the work is scheduled management, unique data of the date and the contents of the schedule are stored.

(11) a work mode control unit for transferring control to a corresponding work processing unit (12) based on the work to be processed and its mode selected under the control of the main control unit (1); 12) is the job ID (ID) and the mode number (MN) of the job
Each mode processing part (12 ₁ ), (12 ₂ )... For executing the mode processing corresponding to O).

Next, the specific operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the power is turned on, the screen display data control unit (7) is started under the control of the main control unit (1) in S1, and the screen display data control unit (7) is stored in the initial screen buffer (5) in FIG. The indicated initial screen control data is written to the control data buffer (6). The initial screen control data at the time of power ON in the present embodiment is the same as the schedule management, calendar, address book, etc. from the initial screen control data for each job. One month display calendar is set. That is, the job ID (ID)
“1” means calendar, and “1” of mode number (MNO) is 1.
Means month display mode. Further, date data to be displayed for one month is provided from a clock circuit (not shown) to the initial screen control data buffer (5), and the date is updated to store today's date, that is, April 18, 1989. . At the same time, when the job ID (ID) is 1 and the mode number (MNO) is 1, effective key control data (KCD) 1 which is an index number of the effective key table is included in the control data.

In this way, when the one-month display of the calendar (April, 1989) is written in the control data buffer (6) as the initial screen control data at power-on in step S1, the screen display data control unit (7) in step S2. In accordance with control data indicated by a certain read pointer, a processing portion (8 ₁ ) for each job and each mode of the screen display data creation unit (8),
(8 ₂₎ ... it is selected, the screen display data is created. Since the read pointer of the screen display data control unit (7) in the initial state instructs the reading of the initial screen control data, the control data of one month display of the calendar is read from the control data buffer (6). The screen display data creation part (8) is the processing part (8 ₁ ) of the month display mode of the calendar
Is activated to create one month display data of the calendar including the date data of April 18, 1989 of the control data. FIG. 5 shows the state of the one-month display displayed on the display unit (9). The lower part shows each work which can be executed in this embodiment, and each work corresponds to a display area. It can be selected by soft keys (S ₁ ) to (S ₅ ). It should be noted that today's date, April 18, 1989, is underlined with a cursor.

In step S3, a key newly input from the keyboard (3) is received. In step S4, if, for example, the left cursor movement key is operated in step S3, it is first determined whether or not this key operation is valid in the current work mode (calendar month display) by using the valid key of the control data buffer (6). Valid key table indicated by control data (KCD) (6th
(See the figure). When the KCD is "1", the left cursor movement key is "1", that is, valid, so the cursor on April 18 is moved to April 19 to display the April 19 underline. The processing at this time is executed by the mode processing part (12 ₁ ) of the calendar one month display mode of the work processing part (12) under the control of the work mode control part (11), and based on the result, one month of the calendar. The processing part (8 ₁ ) in the display mode controls the display processing.

Next, when a soft key (S ₂ ) corresponding to the schedule displayed at the lower part of the one month display in FIG. 5, that is, a work instruction key is pressed in order to select a schedule management different from the current work, the step S 4 is effective. Although it is determined that the key is the key, since the mode is the one month display of the calendar, the work mode control unit (11) executes the one month display mode processing part (12 ₁ ) of the calendar performing the current work. ) Cannot be processed, so the control is transferred to the main control unit (1).
The main control unit (1) to which the control has been transferred is determined in step S5 whether the type of the key is a work instruction key (soft key) for instructing work or the control data indicated by the read pointer of the screen display data control unit (7). It is determined whether or not the return key is to return to the work performed in the past by returning the positions one by one. Since the soft key (S ₂ ) is a work instruction key for schedule management, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S6, entry of control data for displaying an initial screen of a new job is performed. That is, control data for schedule management, which is a new job, is written from the initial screen control data buffer (5) to the control data buffer (5) after the control data of the previous job as shown in FIG. Schedule management job ID (ID)
Is 2, and the mode number (MNO) 1 indicates a list of schedules on the date designated in the previous job (in this case, April 19, 1989). When the writing of the control data of the initial screen is completed, the flow proceeds to step S2, where the screen display data control unit (7) activates the processing portion of the schedule list display mode of the screen display data creation unit (8) and inputs the data in advance. The list of schedules on April 19, 1989, which has been performed, is displayed on the display (9) as shown in FIG.

In this way, even if the work content is changed from a one-month display on the calendar to a job of schedule management, a transition to a new job can be performed without temporarily terminating the previous job.

Next, in this schedule management list display mode, in order to see more detailed contents for a specific schedule,
When the schedule, for example, the technical meeting from 13:00 is selected by key operation, the process from the list display mode to the content display mode (MNO = 2) is executed in step S4, and the control data in FIG. 9 is created. Get the display of the figure.

Here, when the return key is operated, the process proceeds to step S7, where the read pointer for reading the control data of the control data buffer (6) is set to read the previous control data, that is, the control data one screen before. Return (Fig. 11). In step S2 again, a screen is displayed based on the control data of the control data buffer (6) indicated by the read pointer, that is, a list of schedules one screen before is displayed. When the return key is further operated, the read pointer returns the control data by one screen data. Therefore, by operating this return key, it is possible to return to the work executed in the past. That is, it is possible to easily return not only to a process in a different mode but also to a job in which the process itself is completely different.

(G) Effect of the Invention As is apparent from the above description, the data processing apparatus of the present invention is instructed by storing control data to be displayed for each job in the initial control data storage means in advance in the initial control data storage means. Since the initial screen of the work can be displayed immediately, it is possible to immediately start a new work without sequentially terminating the previously executed work. In addition, since the past control data for controlling the screen display is sequentially stored for each display screen, the control data can be read retroactively in the past, and it is easy to return to the original screen again. it can.
