Reference numeral 21 denotes a holiday designation field in which a holiday date is set. Holidays can be set. 22 is a maximum item number field indicating the maximum number of days that can be registered,
Reference numeral 23 denotes a current item number field indicating the number of holidays currently registered. Reference numeral 24 denotes a regular holiday field for setting a regular holiday, and a holiday for p days can be set. The regular holiday field is composed of a day of the week and a week.

FIG. 1C is a structural diagram of the today's calendar table, 31 is a date field indicating today's date, 32 is a day field indicating today's day of the week, 33 is a time field indicating the current time, and 34 is a day field. This is a week counter field indicating the number of the current week in order to recognize a regular holiday.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of data setting for performing the automatic schedule operation, and the data setting operation will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1, the operator inputs a date to be registered as a holiday from the input unit of the schedule control device, and the date is set in the holiday specification field 21 of the holiday data table shown in FIG. Similarly, in step S2, by inputting the day of the week to be registered as a regular holiday and the week, the data is set in the regular holiday field 24 of the holiday data table shown in FIG.

Further, in step S3, data on the type of day (specific day / holiday / day of the week / year), control designation (ON / OFF), and time to be controlled for the control object are input using the above-described data code. As a result, the respective data are stored in the schedule data table 11 shown in FIG.
It is set in the control time field 13 respectively.

FIG. 3 is a correspondence table of dates and weeks used in this embodiment. As shown in the table, in the present embodiment, 1 day to 7 days are the first week, 8 days to 14 days are the second week, 15 days to 21 days are the third week, 22 days to 22 days, regardless of the month. By setting 28 days as the fourth week and 29 days to 31 days as the fifth week,
The current week is determined from the date.

FIG. 4 shows a flow of the week judging operation based on the date-week correspondence table of FIG. 3 described above, and the week judging operation will be described with reference to FIG. First, the schedule control device C
The PU refers to the date field 31 when the day changes (midnight) (step S11), and determines whether or not the numerical value, that is, the date D is 7 or less (step S11).
12). If it is 7 or less, 1 is set to the week counter N of the week counter field 34 (step S13), and if not, it is determined whether or not the date D is 14 or less (step S14).

If less than 14, week counter field 3
The week counter N of 4 is set to 2 (step S15),
If not, it is determined whether the date D is equal to or less than 21 (step S16). If it is less than 21, the week counter N of the week counter field 34 is set to 3 (step S17), and if not, it is determined whether or not the date D is 28 or less (step S18). Where 28
If less than, week counter N in week counter field 34
Is set to 4 (step S19), otherwise, the week counter N of the week counter field 34 is set to 5 (step S20).

Next, the schedule data of the day is shown in FIG.
The operation when the schedule data table shown in (a) is set in the current day schedule block 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. At the time of the day change (midnight), the CPU of the schedule control device refers to the day type designation field 11 and searches whether or not the same date as the date field 31 is set as the specific date (step S21). If set, the data of the block, that is, the schedule data of the specific day, is written in the current day schedule block 14 (step S22).

If the same date as the date field 31 is not set in the day type designation field 11, it is next searched whether or not there is a holiday designation in the day type designation field 11 (step S23). If there is a holiday designation, the holiday designation field 21 is referred to and a search is made as to whether the same date as the date field 31 is set as a holiday (step S24). If it is set, the data of the block, that is, the schedule data of the holiday, is written to the schedule block 14 of the day (step S2).
5).

If the same date as the date field 31 is not set as a holiday, the week counter field 3
A search is made to determine whether the same value N as 4 is set for the week (X) in the regular holiday field (step S26). If the same value is set, then the fixed holiday field 2
It is checked whether or not the day of the week of 4 is the same as the day of the week in the day of the week field 32 (step S27). Here, if it is the same day of the week, the schedule data of the holiday is written in the schedule block of the day (step S2).
5).

If no holiday is specified in step S23, or if the same value N in the week counter field 34 is not set in the week X of the regular holiday field in step S26, or the day of the week and the day of the regular holiday field 24 in step S27. If the day of the week in the field 32 is different, it is searched whether or not the day of the week is designated in the day type designation field 11 (step S28). Here, if the designation of the day of the week is set, the schedule data of the day of the week is set to the schedule block 14 of the day.
Is written (step S29).

If it is determined in step S28 that today's day of the week designation is not set, it is searched whether or not there is an annual designation in the day type designation field 11 (step S30). The schedule data is written to the schedule block 14 of the day (schedule S31). If there is no year designation in step S30, nothing is written in the schedule block 14 of the day, and the process ends.

After executing the above processing, the CPU of the schedule control device compares the time field 33 with the control time data of the current day schedule block 14 at a fixed cycle.
The command set in the control designation field of No. 4 is executed.
