It can be stored and displayed in chronological order, and has a clock function to inform the user of the schedule to be executed at the current time. It has functions such as being able to display information.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> By the way, input schedule data that is no longer needed due to cancellation or execution date and time has passed must be deleted. To delete this schedule data, enter a keyword using a key to search for the corresponding schedule data, check the searched schedule data on the display screen, and then press the delete key to delete one item. Schedule data is being deleted.

For example, if there is a project for "rOA equipment development" and various schedules related to it have been input, if the project is canceled, all of the schedule data must be deleted. However, when deleting each schedule data, the above-mentioned search by keyword input and deletion operation must be performed for each item, which is extremely troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and when the schedules to be deleted are related, the input keyword can be changed by inputting the keyword and performing the deletion operation only once. A technical object of the present invention is to provide a schedule management device that can delete related schedule data all at once.

Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above problems, the present invention configures a schedule management device as follows. That is, in a schedule management device that stores and displays input schedule data, the contents of the keywords stored in the storage means can be changed by the input operation of the search/deletion command key and the storage means for storing the input keywords. It is characterized by having a search means for searching all stored schedule data for related schedules, and a deletion means for erasing each corresponding schedule data searched by the search means.

<Operation> When a keyword corresponding to schedule data to be deleted is input, this keyword is stored in the storage means.

Next, when the search/delete command key is input, all schedule data stored in the schedule data memory is searched for schedules related to the content of this keyword based on the keyword stored in the storage means. All searched schedule data will be deleted at once. Therefore, when inputting schedule data, the contents common to related schedules,
For example, if you enter a project name, etc., and if that project is canceled or completed, if you enter that project name as a keyword, all schedule data related to this project will be retrieved at once with - operations. will be deleted.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1 showing the block configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, an input unit 1 is equipped with a key group 2 including various character keys and function keys, and a search/delete command key 3, which is used for schedule data and deletion. It is used for human interaction with this device, including the input of keywords. The main control unit 4 includes text information, schedules, address books, alarms, displays,
Performs main control of this device such as printing and input. As shown in FIG. 4, the display section 5 consisting of a liquid crystal display device or CRT displays the date and time of the schedule stored in the time area 12a of the schedule data memory 12, which will be described later, and the contents stored in the content area 12b. Display the contents of each schedule. The printing section 6 prints out various schedule data in addition to the display contents of the display section 5.

The timer section 7 provides time information used for schedule management and control of alarms, etc., and is backed up by a battery.

- The text editing unit that executes text editing processing, which is a function of a word processor, stores the text editing control section 8 that controls the original text creation of a word processor, and the text data created by this text editing control section 8. The kana/kanji conversion section 10 converts input kana into kanji.

The schedule management unit, which is the main part of the present invention, has a schedule control unit 1) that performs the main control of schedule management, and a rank (for example, normal, saved, important).
, a schedule data memory 12 that stores data such as marks, times, and schedule contents; a schedule search keyword memory 13 that stores keywords for searching schedule data; and a display format for displaying calendars and schedules. a first screen format memory 14 that stores a display format for displaying only schedules, a second screen format memory 15 that stores a display format for displaying only schedules, and a third screen format memory 15 that stores a display format for displaying a list of schedules for one month.
A fourth screen format memory 17 for storing a display format for displaying annual events, and a calendar data memory 18 for storing calendar data for several years. There is.

The address book management unit includes an address book control section 19 that performs main control of address book management, an address data memory 20 that stores data such as names, company names, telephone numbers, addresses, etc., and an address data memory 20 that displays the contents of the address data memory. and a fifth screen format memory 21 that stores the format of .

Next, the alarm unit is composed of an alarm control section 22 that performs main control for issuing an alarm, an alarm time memory 23 that stores alarm time data, and an alarm oscillator 24.

Next, the operation of the main parts of the embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

When deleting schedule data that is no longer needed, if a keyword for the schedule data to be deleted is entered using the character keys of key group 2, this keyword, for example "sales meeting", is stored in the schedule search keyword memory 13 as shown in FIG. stored [step (Sl)). Next, when the search/deletion command key 3 is inputted, step (
If YES is determined in S2), the process proceeds to step (S3).
A search is performed for one schedule stored in the schedule data memory 12 as shown in FIG. 4 to see if it contains the content of the keyword stored in the keyword memory 12 described above. In comparing this keyword with the schedule data read out from the schedule data memory 12 [step (S4)],
If it is determined that the schedule data does not correspond to the content of the keyword, the process jumps to step (S6) and it is determined whether or not the search has been completed for all schedule data stored in the schedule data memory 12. Step (S6)), if not completed, prepare to search for the next schedule data in the schedule data memory 12 [Step (37)), then return to step (S3) to read out the schedule data from the schedule data memory 12. A search is performed to determine whether or not the scheduled schedule data includes the content of the keyword. If this schedule data also does not correspond to the content of the keyword, the same operation as described above is repeated.

If the read schedule data includes the content of the keyword, then in step (S4)
It is judged as ES, and this one schedule is deleted. In this way, in the process of searching all the schedule data in the schedule data memory 12 to see if the content of the keyword is applicable, all the schedule data corresponding to the content of the keyword are sequentially deleted. Therefore, when inputting schedule data, if you enter common content for each related schedule data manually, such as a project name such as "rOA equipment development," when this project is canceled or terminated, the project name can be entered as a keyword. All schedule data related to this project can be deleted at once by inputting .
