Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable displaying or setting of the required era name even if the era name is not set by providing a rewritable era name memory part, an era name input part which can input input optional characters and an era name calling means. CONSTITUTION:The era name stored in the era name memory is selectively read out by using the era name calling means in case of setting the era name on a label to be issued of an electronic fare balance, etc. The required era name is stored in the above-mentioned era name memory means 2 by using the era name input part 4 consisting of a key device if there are no necessary era names in the means 2. Then, the new era name can be stored into the era name memory means when the new era name is determined even if the era name after SHOWA is not set and, therefore, the easy setting of the fresh era name to the label is executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electronic device with a built-in clock and a function of automatically changing and displaying or printing the year, month, and day as time passes. .

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in electronic fare scales, a date and time with an era name, such as "April 8, 1988," is displayed or printed on a label. In this case, the time display for April 8, 1963 can be changed by using the built-in clock, and data is obtained from that clock moment by moment, but it is possible to change the time display for April 8, 1963. Regarding the year number, the device has a built-in ROM that contains a code corresponding to the kanji character of the year name, and outputs the corresponding kanji character to a printing device or display device.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional device, the year following the Showa era is of course undetermined, so past eras are memorized.
If the era name changes in the future, the only consideration is to leave the era part blank. Therefore, if the year name changes, either the year name should be displayed or printed without the year name, or the ROM should be replaced with a ROM with the new year name set.

Means to solve the problem An era name storage section in which era names such as Meiji, Taisho, Showa, etc. are set,
An electronic device that is equipped with a clock that outputs data of the year, month, and day every moment, and that displays or prints the year, month, and day with an era name, and is equipped with a rewritable era storage section and an era input section that can input arbitrary characters. and an era name calling means for calling the era name stored in the era name storage section.

When a new era is decided even if the working era is not set, operate the era input section to set the era in the era storage section,
It is constructed so that it can be called up and displayed or printed using the year name calling means.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, a CPUI is provided, and this CPUI has a PLU (
A memory 2 made up of readable and writable RAM used for files and work areas (price look up memory), and a memory 3 made up of read-only ROM used for programs and fixed data are connected. The CPU also includes a key device 4 in which various keys are arranged, a clock 5, a display device 6 that can display a large number of characters on an LCD, CRT, etc., and a printing device 7 that prints necessary information on a label or the like. is connected.

In such a configuration, if the electronic device according to this embodiment is an electronic fare scale.

A label is issued with price and other data printed on it based on the weight data. The date of issue is printed on this label, but at that time, the year name is selectively selected from the year name storage section set in the memory 2 using the year name recalling means. call to determine the year in the date column. Regarding the year, month, and day, data from the clock 5 is called to determine the year in the date column.

Thus, the year number setting in the memory 2 is performed using the key device 4 which serves as the year number input section. For example, “Showa J.
To set, in the year setting mode, enter r30284 (Kanji code for Showa) using the number keys, operate the closing key, enter r4734J (kanji code for Japanese) using the number keys, and operate the closing key in this order. Ends with. Of course, when a new era name is determined, a new era name is input using the character code of the era name, and this is stored in the era name storage section for use.

What is shown in FIG. 2 is one of the display examples of the display device 6, and in addition to various information, there is also date data, and as mentioned above, the year is stored in the year storage section in the memory 2. The specific numerical values of the year, month, and day are set based on the data from the clock 5.

When displaying or printing, the kanji code for the name of the era is read from the era name storage section of the memory 2, and in addition to the read code, necessary data is also fetched and the data is sent to the display device 6 or printing device 7. Output.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes an era storage section in which eras such as Meiji, Taisho, Showa, etc. are set, and a clock that outputs data of the year, month, and day every moment. An electronic device that displays or prints month and date, which includes a rewritable era storage section, an era input section into which arbitrary characters can be input, and an era name calling means for calling up the era stored in the era storage section. Since we set up
The era name is called up from the era name storage section and displayed or printed. Even if an era name after the Showa era has not been set, when a new era name is decided, the era name input section is operated and the era name is stored in the era name storage section. The year name can be set as a child, and the newly set year name can be easily called up and displayed or printed by the year name calling means, and there is no need to replace the ROM as in the past. .
