Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an information processing device that inputs a plurality of pieces of data and performs a search or classification of the data.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a part of a data group of input information is treated as one unit of data, and various types of information processing, such as processing, sorting, or searching of the data, are performed by focusing on certain information in this data. There is a processing device. In these devices, the units are set in advance,
For example, one item per line is specified,
It is configured so that after an operator performs an operation on the actual data to specify the unit for classifying data, such as combining several items into one unit, processing is executed based on those basic units. .

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, with these conventional devices, the operator cannot set the units arbitrarily, and only a fixed unit configuration can always be used, making it extremely difficult to use. . Also, if certain information exceeds a specified unit, it is necessary to divide the data into multiple blocks and input the same key code to the data included in the same unit. , data input was troublesome. Furthermore, if the unit configuration can be set arbitrarily, it is necessary to set parameters to specify the unit configuration, and as mentioned above, it is necessary to add a key code etc. to each of the data. Therefore, the operation is complicated and troublesome for the operator.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional example, and is an information processing system that focuses on key information of a plurality of input data to be processed and automatically classifies data into basic units when inputting data. The purpose is to provide equipment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, an information processing device of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, an input means for inputting information having a common format and various function instructions, a storage means for arranging and storing the information inputted from the input means in the order in which it was input, and a storage means for arranging and storing the information inputted from the inputting means, and storing the information stored in the storage means. a determining means for determining information in which a predetermined data area is unspecified, and processing information determined as unspecified by the determining means as information related to information preceding the information in the storage means. and control means for controlling.

[Operation] In the above configuration, the information input from the input means for inputting information having a common format and various function instructions is arranged in the order in which it was input and stored in the storage means. Among the stored information, information in which a predetermined data area is unspecified is determined, and the information determined to be unspecified is processed as information related to the information preceding the information in the storage means. Control.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[Description of Calculator (Figs. 1 to 3)] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a calculator according to an embodiment.

In the figure, 11 is a display section that displays data input from an input section 12, data read out or rearranged from a storage section (memory) 13, and the like. Reference numeral 12 denotes an input unit operated by an operator to input various data and input various function instructions such as sorting to the apparatus. Reference numeral 13 denotes a storage unit for storing input information, and is composed of, for example, a hard disk or a floppy disk. 14 is a control unit that controls the entire device, for example, a CPU 15 such as a microprocessor;
A ROM 16 that stores control programs and various data for the CPU 15, and a RAM that is used as a work area for the CPU 15 and temporarily stores various data.
It has 17 etc.

With the above configuration, when, for example, schedule information is input from the input unit 12, the information is temporarily stored in the RAM 17 and then stored in the storage unit 13. And then,
When a command to rearrange the schedule information is input from the input unit 12, the control unit 14 stores the corresponding information in the storage unit 13.
The system reads out schedule information for the same day, classifies the information into units, and rearranges the schedule information in the order of specified times, for example.

[Description of Schedule Data (Fig. 2)] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the format of the code of schedule information stored in the storage section 13 of the calculator of the embodiment.

In the figure, a is a header section indicating data division, and is indicated by two consecutive "O" bytes. b indicates a column for storing a designated date of schedule information, and a plurality of records are successively stored in which the minimum unit is a code having the same date. C is a column for storing the start time of this schedule information, d is the same (indicates a column for storing the start part), e is a column for storing the end time of the schedule information, and f is also for storing the end part. Columns b-f are all 1 byte and +111.These time information are stored at around 24 o'clock time, but if these time information are not input at the time of input, In that column, there is an unspecified code “255” (1
The hexadecimal code "FF") is stored. g indicates a comment field, which is a data area of arbitrary length that can store a total of 40 bytes (maximum 20 characters).

In this example, we focus on time and minute information of c, d, e, and f,
The schedule information is rearranged. Furthermore, when all of C, d, e, and f are unspecified codes, the unit structure of each piece of information is determined as being continuous to the previous record.

[Operation description (Figs. 1 to 3, and 4)] Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the process of distributing records into predetermined units in the calculator of the embodiment, and the control program that executes this process is It is stored in the ROM 17 of the control unit 14.

First, in step St, when the day to be determined among schedule information records and the address of that day's record are input, the process proceeds to step S2.In step S2, a counter K is set to "O", and in step S3, input is made. Search for header a based on the given address. This searches for a header using a 2-byte "00" code, and when a header is detected, the start address of the record is stored in the RAM 17.
to be memorized. Next, the process proceeds to step S4 and the record is checked to see if the date input in step SL matches the date of the record (b in FIG. 2). If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S8 without performing any processing regarding this record, and checks whether all records have been checked.

If the input date and the date of the record match, the process advances to step S5, and the records c, d, and e.

Read the start and end time information stored in column f. Then, in step S6, it is checked whether all the time information read is unspecified. If not specified, it is regarded as continuous data (data of the same unit) and the process proceeds to step S8. However, if the time information is not specified, If so, proceed to step S7,
Counter K is incremented by 1. Then, proceed to step S8,
Check whether all records in the storage section 13 have been checked. If all the records have not been checked in step S8, the process advances to step S9, the pointer is moved to the first address of the next record, and the process returns to step S4 to proceed to check processing for that record.

To explain the above operation with reference to FIG. 5, step S
In Step 3, the pointer is moved to the first address AA of the record 51, and in Step S4 it is checked whether it matches the date input in Step S1 (here, for example, the 30th). Since the record 51 matches this date, the process advances to step S5, and the start and end times (c
-f) is read. Since the start and end times of the record 51 have all been specified, the process advances to step S7 and the counter K is incremented by 1. Next, the process returns to step S4 via step S8 and step S9, and the next record 5 is entered.
Examine 2. The date of record 52 is "30th", which matches the input date, so the process advances to step S6. Since time information is not specified in step S6 of this record 52, the process proceeds to step S8 as a record related to record 51. Next, the process moves to check record 53, and when the 84th dimension is found to be "31st", it is classified as a separate record.

In this way, records 51 and 52 are classified as related records, but record 53 is classified as a separate record.

[Description of Sorting Process (Figs. 1 to 5)] Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the sorting process in the computer (calculator) of the embodiment. A control program for executing this process is stored in the ROM 16 of the control unit 14. ing.

In step Sll, the start address of the records to be sorted is input, and in step S12, records with the same date are searched, and the number of records K is calculated. Step S1
In step 3, the record with the earliest start time is extracted from the records with that date.

In step S14, it is checked whether there is a record related to that record, for example, for which the above-mentioned start time and end time have not been set. (in this case, records 51 and 52 are treated as one record), and the records are sorted in descending order of start time. Then, in step S16, an address pointer is added corresponding to the number of records.

On the other hand, if there is no record related to the record in step S14, the process proceeds to step S17, in which the records are rearranged in chronological order, and the address pointer is moved to the beginning position of the next record in step S18. next,
Proceeding to step S19, the counter K is incremented by 1, and in step S20 it is checked whether the counter K is "0". and,
If K is “0” in step S20, step S21
The process proceeds to step S14, extracts the record with the next earliest start time among the dates, returns to step S14, and repeats the above-described process.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, a certain part of a record, which is the minimum unit of input information, is used as key information, and if the key is unspecified (not input), the same pupil as the previous record is used. By processing records as belonging to
It is often effective to simplify operations by operators by allowing records to be grouped simply by not inputting certain information.

[Explanation of search process (Figure 6)] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the search process in the calculator of the embodiment, and the control program that executes this process is stored in the ROM.
16 is stored.

This process is started by inputting an instruction to start the search process from the input unit 12, and first, in step S31, a date to be searched is input. Next, the process advances to step S32, and records are read from the storage unit 13. Next, the process advances to step S33 to check whether the date of the record and the input date match. If the dates match, the process advances to step S34, and if there is a record with the same date in the subsequent record,
Check whether the bonito record has a time specification.

A record without time specification is classified as a record related to the previous record.

Next, the process advances to step S35, and all related records are displayed on the display section 11. As a result, in the case of FIG. 5, for example, records 51 and 52 are displayed simultaneously. Next, the process advances to step S36 to check whether all records stored in the storage unit 13 have been referenced, and if all records have not been referenced, step S32
Returns to , but if all records have been referenced, all processing ends.

In this way, even when performing a search process, by regarding records without time designation as the same record unit, records that do not include specific information can be processed as the same simple record.

Although this embodiment has been described based on time information as the specific information, it is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that other information may be used.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, for example, records in which specific information such as time information is not input can be processed as the same unit of information. This has the effect of simplifying key operations for the operator, since there is no need to input specific key operations or key codes.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the number of key operations required for inputting data can be reduced, making key operations easier for the operator and making it easier to understand key operations. .
