Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to electronic devices such as so-called vertical and horizontal aggregation type electronic computers, cash registers, and computers that aggregate numbers arranged in a matrix in the horizontal and vertical directions. This allows vertical aggregation. First, the counting function in this type of vertical and horizontal counting type electronic computer will be explained with reference to Table 1.

[Table] Table 1 shows the monthly sales of products A, B, and C in January, February, and March at a store.
For product A A1, A2, A3, for product B
B1, B2, B3, and product C are C1, C2, and C3, and the quarterly total sales amount for each product is TA,
TB, TC, the monthly total sales are T1, T2, T3, and the quarterly total sales of products A, B, C are TG
This indicates that the temperature was high. In order to obtain such aggregated data, when calculating the quarterly total sales amounts TA, TB, and TC for each product using a horizontal and vertical aggregation computer, at the same time, the monthly and quarterly total sales amounts T1, T2 are calculated. , T3 and TG are also obtained. In other words, when performing horizontal aggregation calculations,
At the same time, the vertical and horizontal aggregation type electronic computer has the ability to perform arithmetic operations for vertical aggregation. However, in conventional vertical and horizontal tabulation type electronic computers, in order to obtain the tally results in the vertical direction, the vertical tally printing command key is operated to continuously print out, for example, the monthly and quarterly vertical tally results mentioned above. It was necessary to print it out on paper. Therefore, in conventional electronic computers of this type, it is possible to check the vertical tally results only after they are printed on paper. If you want to check the calculations, there is a drawback that you cannot check the results of vertical aggregation. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and to print with a simple structure without printing on printing paper.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vertical and horizontal tabulation type electronic device in which vertical tabulation results can be easily confirmed by a simple operation only through display on a display or audio output. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the electronic device of the present invention is provided with a display key or an audio output key for outputting the results of a single vertical tally, and by operating these keys, memory selection for vertical tallying can be performed. Transfers and outputs the aggregated data of multiple numbers stored in the memory for vertical aggregation selected by the pointer to the display device or audio output device, and operates the pointer for selecting the memory for vertical aggregation. By sequentially updating the vertical tally data to be output, by continuously operating the pointer, the numerical tally data stored in each vertical tally memory element can be sequentially updated. The results are automatically transferred to a display device or an audio output device and output, and each vertical direction tally result can be confirmed without printing on paper. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As an example of an electronic device of the present invention, such as an electronic computer, a configuration example of a calculator is shown in FIG. 1, and the mode of operation thereof is shown in FIG. 2. In the illustrated configuration example, the keyboard KB is □0

Switch PRT to select VA and printing necessity
The switch PRT supplies the AND gate A with a signal PS which becomes "1" when it is on and "0" when it is off. In addition, the control unit CPU receives signals from the keyboard KB and other circuits and sends various control signals CPRNT, CDSP, CR1, CR2, CM1, CM to each circuit described later.
2. It supplies CM3, CM4, CPNT, CALU, CVC, etc., and includes a clock pulse generation circuit,
It includes a sequential control circuit composed of delay circuits, gate circuits, and other logic circuits, and a read-only storage ROM that stores a group of microinstructions for supplying control signals for controlling each circuit. The AND circuit A inputs the control signal CPRNT from the control unit CPU and the signal PS from the switch PRT on the keyboard KB, and applies an output signal CAND to the printing device PRNT, and when the signal PS is "1", it will be described later. Printing is performed as follows. Furthermore, the display device DISP visually displays data in each register, which will be described later, supplied via bus line B. Therefore, each of these registers R1, R2, M1 to M4 is, for example, 4
It is a serial input/parallel output register with a bit configuration, of which register R1 is the keyboard KB.
The register R2 is used to store the data of the addition result, and each of the registers M1 to M4 functions as a memory device for vertical totalization. In addition, the arithmetic control unit ALU performs arithmetic processing such as addition and subtraction on the data supplied via bus line B, and uses a memory selection pointer for vertical aggregation.
PNT determines which of the registers M1 to M4 serving as a vertical totalization memory device is to be accessed. As described above, the printing device PRNT and the display device DISP each print on printing paper or temporarily display the data in each of the above-mentioned registers supplied via bus line B in order to visualize the data. This can be implemented using conventionally known techniques. Further, the audio output device VOICE outputs data supplied via the bus line B as audio, and can similarly be implemented using conventionally known techniques. The operation of the above-described embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to an example in which the key operations shown in FIG. 2 are performed. First, the control unit CPU receives the signal KBS caused by the operation of each key on the keyboard KB, detects the state of each circuit, and generates the various control signals listed below. CPRNT: A control signal that edits the data supplied via bus line B and causes the printing device PRNT to print paper. CDSP: A control signal that edits the data supplied via bus line B and displays it on the display device DISP. CVC: A control signal that edits the data supplied via bus line B and causes the audio output device VOICE to output audio. CR1: Control signal that controls data exchange between register R1 and bus line B. CR2: Control signal that controls data transfer between register R2 and bus line B. CM1: Control signal that controls data exchange between register M1 and bus line B. CM2: Control signal for controlling data transfer between register M2 and bus line B. CM3: Control signal for controlling data transfer between register M3 and bus line B. CM4: Control signal for controlling data transfer between register M4 and bus line B. CPNT: Memory selection pointer for vertical aggregation
A control signal that controls data exchange between PNT and bus line B. CALU: A control signal that controls data transmission and reception between the arithmetic control unit ALU and bus line B, as well as calculations and inspections such as addition and subtraction of these data. Therefore, the figures for each sales amount in Table 1 listed above are set as follows to calculate the total sales amount of each type.
