Is displayed. If each data is displayed one by one, the data before or after the deleted data is displayed instead of the deleted data. If a plurality of data are displayed in a list, The data in the order next to the deleted data is displayed at the position where the deleted data was displayed.

Further, when necessary data is deleted due to an erroneous operation or an erroneous determination, a recovery process for canceling the deletion and restoring the data is performed. In a conventional information processing apparatus, a work area for temporarily storing at least one deleted data is provided. Deleted data is stored in the work area in the order of deletion. When data restoration is instructed, the deleted data stored in the work area is returned to the original place in order from the data deleted immediately before, so that the deleted data can be restored.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional information processing apparatus, the deleted data is not displayed almost at the same time when the deletion is designated. As a result, there is a problem that the type of the deleted data or the order in which the deleted data is stored cannot be recognized on the screen.

Further, when the conventional information processing apparatus has only one work area for temporarily storing deleted data, there is a problem that only the data deleted immediately before can be restored. Further, when a plurality of work areas are provided, when restoring only the data that has been deleted in the middle of the deleted data, the unnecessary data that has been deleted immediately before is restored until the desired data is restored. After the desired data has been restored, it is necessary to delete the unnecessary data again. As mentioned above,
The problem that operation becomes complicated arises.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to easily determine the relationship between deleted data and undeleted data, and to easily delete deleted data in an arbitrary order.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, before deleting data, the image memo data area 112 stores 12 image memo data. In FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, since two pieces of data are deleted, in the state of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, ten pieces of image memo data are stored in the image memo data area 112. As a result, the first six data are displayed in FIG. 9, and the remaining four data are displayed in FIG.

Next, the operation of each part when deleting unnecessary data while using the image memo function will be described with reference to FIGS.
The following describes each step in accordance with the display example shown in FIG. 11 and the flowchart shown in FIG. After the user activates the electronic apparatus main body 1, the electronic apparatus main body 1 shifts to the image memo function by operating the function selection key 202.

When the operation proceeds to the image memo function, in step 1 (hereinafter referred to as S 1) of FIG. 11, the liquid crystal display unit 201 displays the image memo data stored in the image memo data area 112 on the RAM 11. Is displayed. That is, the central control unit 4 reads the input date of the data stored in the date information storage area 115 of each image memo data, and displays the image memo data in the new order. The display of the liquid crystal display unit 201 is controlled via the control unit 6. Liquid crystal display section 20
1 displays a list of the image data of each image memo data stored in the image data storage area 114 together with the date stored in the date information storage area 115 in the order of newest date in accordance with the display control. One display example at this time is shown in FIG.

Next, the tablet control section 5 detects whether or not the user has input to the transparent tablet 204 (S).
2). If there is no input, S2 is repeated to wait for an input.

In S2, when there is an input to the transparent tablet 204, the tablet controller 5 detects the position coordinates of the input. Based on the detection, the central control unit 4 determines whether the input indicates the data display area (S3). When it is determined that the data display area is designated, it is determined that the data displayed in the area is designated. When it is determined in S3 that the data is specified, the liquid crystal display unit 201 reversely displays the data displayed in the area (S4). One display example at this time is shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. When the data is highlighted, the process returns to S2 and waits for the next input.

In step S3, the transparent tablet 204
If the input does not specify data, it is determined whether deletion has been instructed in the same manner as in S3 (S3).
5). That is, when the position coordinates of the input detected by the tablet control unit 5 are within the delete button area 201E shown in FIG. 3, it is determined that deletion has been instructed.

If it is determined in S5 that deletion has been instructed, the central control unit 4 sets the deletion flag of the data highlighted in S4 to 1, and the liquid crystal display unit 201
Displays a list according to the updated data (S
6). For example, when a plurality of data are designated as shown in FIG. 5, the deletion flag corresponding to each data in the flag area 116 shown in FIG. Each data whose deletion flag is 1 is stored in the data display area 201C shown in FIG.
Is blurred, like the data displayed in.
On the other hand, each data whose deletion flag is 0 is displayed in a normal format. After the display, the process returns to S2 and waits for the next input.

If it is determined in S5 that deletion has not been instructed, the central control unit 4 determines whether or not deletion cancellation has been instructed in a manner similar to S5 (S7).
That is, when the input of the transparent tablet 204 indicates the deletion cancellation button area 201F, it is determined that the deletion cancellation has been instructed.

If it is determined in S7 that the deletion cancellation has been instructed, the central control unit 4 sets the deletion flag of the image memo data storing the data specified in S4 to 0, and displays a list ( S8). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when one deleted data is designated,
The central control unit 4 sets the data deletion flag stored in the flag area 116 shown in FIG. 1 to 0. As a result, the data is displayed in a normal display format as shown in FIG. The display format of the unspecified data does not change from the display format shown in FIG. After displaying, S2
Return to and wait for the next input.

In the above-mentioned S7, when the cancellation of the deletion is not instructed, the central control unit 4 operates in substantially the same manner as in S7.
It is determined whether the input of the transparent tablet 204 is a page feed (S9). When the position coordinates of the input are included in page turning button area 201G shown in FIG. 3, central control unit 4 determines that page turning has been instructed.

In step S9, when a page feed is instructed, the central control unit 4 searches for image memo data corresponding to the next page displayed so far, and the liquid crystal display unit 201 displays the next page based on this. Is displayed. At this time, data with a deletion flag of 0 is displayed in a normal display format, and data with a deletion flag of 1 is displayed in a blurred display (S1).
0). When page turning is instructed while FIG. 3 or any of FIGS. 5 to 8 is displayed, data as shown in FIG. 4, which is an example of the next page, is displayed.

On the other hand, if it is not page feed in S9, the central control unit 4 determines whether or not the input of the transparent tablet 204 is page return in the same manner as in S9 (S11). When the input position is within page return button area 201H, central control unit 4 determines that page return has been instructed. In S11, when the page return is instructed, the central control unit 4 searches for the image memo data corresponding to the page before the currently displayed list, and the liquid crystal display unit 201 displays each data.
At this time, data with the deletion flag of 0 is displayed in a normal display format, and data with the deletion flag of 1 is displayed in a blurred display (S12). After the display, the process returns to S2 and waits for the next input.

It is stored in the image memo data area 112 whether or not each data is the deletion data.
Even if a page different from the page on which the deletion data was displayed is displayed by page feed or page return, when returning to the page on which the deletion data was displayed again, the deletion data is displayed in a blurred display. For example,
When the page is turned while FIG. 7 is displayed, FIG. 4 is displayed. Subsequently, when the page is returned, FIG. 7 is displayed again.

In S3 to S11, if the input to the transparent tablet 204 is not for the liquid crystal display unit 201 (NO in S11), the process proceeds to S13.
Then, similarly to S3, it is determined whether or not the pen has touched the function selection key 202 other than the image memo function. If the input is not for the function selection key 202 (NO in S13), the process returns to S2 and waits for the next input.

If another function is selected in S13, of the data stored in the image memo data area 112, the data whose deletion flag is 1 is deleted from the image memo data area 112 (S1).
4). Then, until the image memo function key, which is the function selection key 202 for selecting the image memo function, is pressed again, processing corresponding to the designated other function is performed.

That is, in S15, the process proceeds to the function specified in S13, and a screen corresponding to the function is displayed. S16
Then, the presence / absence of an input on the transparent tablet 204 is determined, and the apparatus stands by until an input is made. If there is an input in S16, it is determined whether or not the input is an image memo function key arranged on the function selection key 202 (S17).
If it is determined in S17 that the input is not the image memo function, it is determined whether the input is another function key arranged on the function selection key 202 (S1).
8) If it is not another function key, a process corresponding to the input position coordinates is performed in the currently operating function (S1).
9) Then, the process returns to S16 to wait for an input. In S18, if it is another function key, S15
Then, the processing corresponding to the instructed function is performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S17 that the function is the image memo function, the process returns to step S1 to display a list of image memo data remaining without being deleted in step S13. The deleted data is the image memo data area 112
Since the data has been deleted, the deleted data is not displayed. For example, only the data displayed on the two pages of FIG. 8 which is a display example of the first page and FIG. 4 which is a display example of the next page is the image memo data area 112.
When the other function is selected when the data is stored in the image memo data area 112, the deletion data displayed in FIG. Subsequently, when returning to the image memo function, the first page is displayed as shown in FIG. 9 and the next page is displayed as shown in FIG. At the position where the deleted data exists in FIGS. 5 to 8, the next data is packed and displayed as shown in FIG.

In the electronic apparatus main body 1 according to the present embodiment, the deletion data is deleted from the image memo data area 112 when the image memo function ends.
As described above, when one function is completed, the deletion data is deleted from the RAM 11 serving as the storage means, so that the user does not need to instruct the electronic apparatus body 1 to delete the data from the RAM 11. . As a result,
The configuration of the electronic apparatus body 1 can be simplified, and the user does not need to be conscious of erasing data from the RAM 11. When the electronic apparatus body 1 has a plurality of functions, the end of one function can be identified when another function is selected by the function selection key 202.

In the present embodiment, the blur display is used as the display format for indicating the deleted data, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, another display format that is readable and different from a normal display format may be selected, such as marking a specific position, enclosing the frame, or changing the color.

Further, in this embodiment, when ranking the data, the order of the input dates is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a title may be given to the data, and the order of the Japanese syllabary may be used. Furthermore, the order may be determined according to the content of the data, such as the name and telephone number in the telephone directory, the task and the time in the schedule, or the order may be determined according to another rule such as the number of operations.

In this embodiment, a flag area 116 is provided in the image memo data area 112, and a deletion flag indicating whether or not the data is the deletion data is stored in the flag area 116 to identify whether or not the data is the deletion data. But it is not limited to this. An area for storing deleted data may be provided in the image memo data area 112.
When data is deleted, the data is moved to the area, and whether or not the data is deleted data can be identified based on whether or not the data is stored in the area. With this, the same effect as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

In this embodiment, another function selection key 202 is selected as the deletion data display erasure instruction means.
After the key 202 is operated, switching is performed so as not to display the deletion data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the switching may be performed when another key is operated. In this case, even while the same function is being operated, it is possible to switch so that the deleted data is not displayed by operating the key.
Furthermore, it is also possible to switch automatically with the passage of time or an increase in the number of operations. When the function selection key 202 is selected, the deletion data is completely erased from the image memo data area 112. However, the data is not completely erased but is provided on the RAM 11 in advance so that it can be restored later. The deleted data may be moved to an area for temporarily storing the deleted data. Further, all the deletion data may not be deleted at once, but may be deleted in several times.

In the present embodiment, the image memo function has been described as an example of the function. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to other functions such as a telephone directory, an address book, and a schedule. it can.
