When a command for inputting a company name, a vehicle name and specifications of a vehicle is input from the input unit 11, the processor 16 starts operating and starts executing the process S1. Process S1 In process S1, a list of car company names, which are items of the highest layer recorded in the recording unit 13, is displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG.

Processing S2 In processing S2, the input company 11 selects a target company name to be input from the data list displayed on the display unit 12. Process S3 In process S2, when a company name is selected in the input unit 11, the processor 16 stores the selected company name in the recording unit 1.
3 is recorded in a memory for recording data (not shown).

Processing S4 When the recording of the data selected in processing S3 is completed, the dictionary unit 14 searches the address of the recording unit 13 where the list of items for the recorded data is recorded, reads out the address from the recording unit 13, and reads out the display unit. 12 is displayed.

FIG. 4B shows a case where "Company A" is selected as the company name in step S2, and a list of car names, which is a data list of items corresponding to "Company A", is displayed. Processing S5 A target vehicle name is selected from the input unit 11 from among the vehicle names displayed on the display unit 12.

Process S6 The vehicle name selected in process S5 is recorded in a memory (not shown) of the recording unit 13 for recording data. Process S7 When the vehicle name selected in process S6 is recorded, FIG.
