Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a registering apparatus with limited time and labor to view a schedule by providing a comparison means to compare time scheduled inputted from an input means with the current time counted by a time counting means. CONSTITUTION:In a fundamental operation, a schedule registering apparatus controls a display section 3 to display a data and then, waits for a keying and when receiving a key input, it controls a data memory section 2, a sound output section 5, a display section 3 and a key section 1 to perform a processing for the key input. Conventionally, for example, when a data for Dec. 25 is accessed, a data for the nearest future (data for Dec. 31) required is the fifth to call up, but a data for the second nearest future (data for Jan. 10) is called up first. This invention eliminates this contradiction and the data for Jan. 10 is regarded as such in the following year and called up next to the data for Dec. 31.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a schedule registration device that stores an annual schedule and displays the stored schedule.

<Prior art> Conventionally, this type of schedule registration device has been designed to input schedule data in the form of month, day, and month as shown in Fig. 6.
It has a data format of "hour (toki)" expressed in hours and minutes, and it is stored by sorting it in the order of month, day, hour, and minute, and when searching for stored data, it is - There is a system that calls and displays data starting from the youngest in minutes.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional device, for example, if a schedule for January of the next year is input in December, the schedule is stored in the month/day category. It is stored at the beginning of the memory than the data, and when it is called up, the January schedule is called out first, and the December schedule comes out last. For this reason, there is a problem in that in order to view the schedule for that year, the schedule for the next year must be called up, which is time-consuming.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to store the next year's schedule later in the memory than the current year's schedule,
To provide a schedule registration device which prevents the next year's schedule from being called before the current year's schedule and saves time and effort in viewing the current year's schedule.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage means for associating the requirements of a schedule with the times of the schedule in units smaller than a year, arranging them in chronological order, and storing them; The storage means includes an input means for manually inputting the schedule items and times, a display means for displaying both the schedule items and the corresponding schedule times stored in the storage means, and a clocking means. In the schedule registration device, the schedule items and times stored in the schedule are displayed on the display means in the order of arrangement in the storage means, the schedule time input from the manual means and the current time measured by the time measuring means. and a comparison means for comparing the times of , and a signal from the comparison means, and if the time of the schedule is younger than the current time, the schedule is placed after the schedule already stored in the storage means. While storing the schedule in the storage means, if the time of the schedule is not younger than the current time, the schedule is stored in chronological order with respect to the schedule already stored in the storage means. The invention is characterized by comprising a control means for causing the storage means to store the data in such a manner as to be arranged.

Function> The schedule requirements and the corresponding schedule times in units smaller than the year are input from the input means. Then, the comparison means compares the time of the input schedule with the current time measured by the timekeeping means. The control means receives a signal from the comparison means, and if the time of the schedule is younger than the current time, the control means arranges the schedule after the schedule already stored in the storage means. is stored in the storage means, and if the time of the schedule is not younger than the current time, the schedule is arranged in chronological order with respect to the schedules already stored in the storage means. The information is stored in the storage means. Then, the schedule items and times stored in the storage means are displayed on the display means in the order of arrangement in the storage means. Therefore, the next year's schedule is stored later in memory than the current year's schedule, and the next year's schedule is not recalled before that year's schedule, so you can view the current year's schedule. It doesn't take much time.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 1, l is a key for manually inputting data on schedule requirements and times and giving various commands to this device, and 2 is a key for associating input schedule requirements with times of that schedule. a data storage unit that stores data and arranges it in chronological order; 3 a display unit that displays both the schedule items and the corresponding schedule times;
4 is a clock unit that generates a clock for the clock and outputs a signal to the control unit 6 every 0.5 seconds; 5 is a sound output unit that outputs alarms and key touch sounds; It is designed to control the entire device.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of this device.

This basic operation involves controlling the display section 3 to display data, then entering a key wait state, determining whether or not there is human power to press the key, and if there is human power to press the key, the data storage section 2, the sound output section 5, The display section 3 and key section 1 are controlled to perform processing for the above-mentioned key manual power. Throughout this flow, signals from the clock section 4 are monitored at intervals of 0.5 seconds or less, and the counter of the clock is incremented each time a signal is received.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the display on the display section 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the display section 3 consists of an upper stage and a lower stage, and each stage has 12 digits. The schedule items are displayed in the upper row with 5x7 dots, and the month, day, hour, and minute are displayed in 7-segment day characters in the lower row with 2 digits each, for a total of 8 digits.

FIG. 4 shows the data format of the data for representing the month, day, hour, and minute. The conventional data shown in FIG. 6 consists of a total of 32 bits for month, date, hour, and minute, and in the conventional example, data is sorted and stored only based on the magnitude relationship of these 32 bits. On the other hand, the data of this example shown in FIG.
In addition to the 2 bits, it is equipped with 1 bit which is a flag for distinguishing between "this year/next year." This discrimination flag becomes "0" if the time represented by the input data is after the current time, and "bi" if it is before. . This 1 bit is used as a delimiter code between the month/date/hour/minute part and the message part, and this 1 bit of 1 byte is used to prevent the overall data length from increasing. The data for which this discrimination flag is set to "BI", that is, the data for next year's schedule, is stored after the data for this year's schedule that is already stored in the data storage unit 2. Also, the discrimination flag is set to "0". This data, that is, this year's schedule data, is stored so as to be arranged in chronological order with respect to this year's schedule data already stored in the data storage section 2.

For example, suppose that data on December 25th (this January IO date) is input when four pieces of data have already been stored in the data storage unit as shown in FIG.

In this case, in the conventional example, data for January 10th is stored in four data fields as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5(a).

Therefore, when calling, the data for January 10th is called first, and then the four data for November and December are called. Therefore, for example, if data is called on December 25th, the required data from the nearest future (data from December 31st) will be called fifth, and then data from the next nearest future (data from January IO date) will be called fifth. A contradiction arises in that data) is called first.

However, in the case of this example, January 10th is December 25th.
Therefore, the data for January 10th is considered next year's data, and as shown by the arrow in Figure 5(b),
stored after one data.

Therefore, at the time of the call, the data for this January IO date is 12
It is called after the data for the 31st of the month, and the above-mentioned contradiction does not occur.

In this embodiment, when the year of the clock changes, that is, from December 31st to January 1st, all data for this year is deleted, and furthermore, for next year's data, the "this year/next year discrimination" is used. data is converted to this year's data by setting the data flag to "0".This saves the operator the trouble of deleting past data, and also allows the data to be changed from last year's data to this year's data in the new year. There is no confusion.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above, in the schedule registration device of the present invention, when the schedule requirement and the time of the schedule in units smaller than the corresponding year are inputted from the input means, the comparison means performs the above-mentioned The control means compares the time of the input schedule with the current time measured by the timekeeping means, and upon receiving the signal from the comparison means, if the time of the schedule is younger than the current time, the control means The schedule is stored in the storage means so as to be arranged after the schedule already stored in the storage means, while if the time of the schedule is not younger than the current time, the schedule is stored in the storage means. The schedules already stored in the storage means are stored in the storage means so as to be arranged in chronological order, and the items and times of the schedules stored in the storage means are displayed on the display means in the order of the arrangement in the storage means. Therefore, the next year's schedule is stored later in memory than the current year's schedule, and is not recalled before the next year's schedule or the current year's schedule. It doesn't take much time to check the schedule.
