From the Illustration Mark Dictionary Department, the user is registered to board the Shinkansen departing from Shin-Osaka at 6:00 OO on the 4th of the month, and the illustration mark of the Shinkansen that is closely related to the content is not shown in the mark area (C). It is extracted and stored as illustration mark data. FIGS. 4 and 5 show other schedule data, and the data type is schedule [S]. Also, in Figure 6, the data type is Don'.
t forget [D] data, and FIG. 7 also shows memo [memo] data. FIGS. 8 to 14 show further schedule data in date order. In this way, in order to manage his own schedule, the owner pre-registers the schedule data as shown in Figure 15.
It is registered in the card format of case 1, and an illustration mark closely related to the contents of the schedule is appropriately attached.

Thus, with the schedule data created in advance and stored in the schedule data storage section (7), the 21st
It is assumed that an initial screen as shown in the figure is displayed on the display device (10). This initial screen is part of the calendar (CA)
The soft key display section (So) that displays the functions of the keys (SWI) to (SWI) and the cursor (KA) of the Garanari calendar part (CA) are located at the position of today's date, April 4th.

Here, if you want to see a list of schedules, memos, etc. that have today's date data, press the switch (SWt) and step S
1 to 82, today's (April 4th) date data is fetched from the clock circuit (5,) in S2, and step S
At step 3, the date check section (8t) searches for data having date data of April 4th. That is, since the processing mode is the search mode, the main control section (1) transfers control to the search display control section (8). Since the search target in the search display control section (8) is limited to dates, the date check section (8,) is activated, and the data storage section (7) is sent from the date management section (51) of the data management section (6). A search for April 4th is executed for the date area (B) of each data. As a result of the search, when schedule data for April 4th is retrieved, the schedule data is stored in the data storage unit (
For example, the address information indicating the number of data in 7) is listed in the search data buffer (8,).

If a plurality of schedule data exist on April 4, the data is grouped and all address information is listed in the search data buffer (8,). Now, as a result of the search, there are six data items for April 4th, and the results are displayed in a list as shown in FIG. 19 in step S5.

Next, if a date change occurs in the data shown in FIG. 11, the following operation is performed to change the schedule for displaying the schedule data shown in FIG. 11 on the display (1o).

That is, in step S1o of FIG. 23, the previous screen key (SWg) is pressed.
When is pressed, today's date fetched from the date management unit (51) is decremented by -8 in step S14, a date search is performed in the same manner as step S3 in step S13, and a list is displayed in step S21 via step S20. , see if there is any data to change during this display. If not, press the previous screen key (S W h ) again to decrement the date, or press the next screen key (SWT) to increment today's date (step 515).
, a list is displayed in steps S13→S20→S21, and if the desired data is not found, the next screen key (SW, ) is pressed again to display the schedule list for the day after next. In this case, the display shown in FIG. 11 can be obtained by specifying desired data using this display. Various methods can be considered for this instruction, such as displaying a numeric value at the beginning of each data in a list display and instructing the desired data using numeric keys.

When the schedule data for which the date should be changed is displayed on the display (10) in this way, the cursor can be moved to the date area (B) to instruct the date to be changed for the schedule data using the keyboard (3). When instructed, the main control unit (1) activates the date input editing unit (5,) of the input editing unit (5), and inputs the date (April 10th (Monday) to April 4th) input from the keyboard (3). 11th (Tuesday))
Based on the address information of the search data buffer (8,), the schedule data of the data storage section (7) indicated by the address pointer of the data management section (6), that is, the schedule data of FIG. 11, is changed as shown in FIG. 16. administer. At this time, other type area (A), illustration mark area (
B) If there is no change in the content area (D), the data in FIG. 11 can be effectively used as is. In other words, if only the date is changed, the new schedule data shown in FIG.
The schedule data shown in Figure 1 will be replaced.

Note that the process from specifying desired data in the list to data replacement is performed in step S23. .

Next, a description will be given of changing the type, which is another identifier of schedule data. Don't for informing you that you should not forget the schedule data in Figure 10.
get [DJ type of thing. In other words, it shows that we must not forget to order 30 units of Niwabu oSWP-360 on April 5th. Once the content of such [D] type data has been processed, if it remains in the schedule data as [D] type, it will be possible to later determine that the process has been processed even though it remains unprocessed. Can not do it. Therefore, for this [D] type data, once the processing is completed, the processed type [Done]
Change to That is, in step S10, since type, mark, data, etc. are displayed as soft keys, the user presses the type soft key. Then, various types of soft keys are displayed, so in step S10 select "DJ".
Enter.

As a result, the search target is limited to the type of schedule data, the type check section (81) is activated, and the type [D
Search only the schedule data of J (step 51
2). In this embodiment, there are four types of DJ schedule data shown in FIGS. 6, 10, 13, and 14, so the address information in the data storage unit (7) for these four data items is The data are sequentially written to the data buffer (8,) (step 520). Then, the search results are displayed in the form of a list shown in FIG. 17 (step 521).
). Then, the desired search results are displayed simultaneously with other search results, and by instructing the display of the desired schedule data from the list, the display shown in FIG. 10 is obtained (step 523).

When this display is obtained, it indicates that the area to be changed is the type area (A) in the same way as the previous date change, and when the type [DJ] is changed to the processed [completed], the schedule shown in Figure 10 is displayed. The data type is changed to [Completed] and the data storage unit (7) is used as the new schedule data in Figure 18.
will be written to.

Or search by mark is the same as type search, step S1
6. This is realized in S17.

If you want to see today's schedule in step S10, press the work instruction key on the keyboard (3) to return to the initial screen in step S22, and press the memo key to easily see today's schedule. .

Incidentally, the work instruction key may be placed at the bottom of the tank so that a receiver can be attached even in the case of processing where there is a nuisance.

In the above embodiment, the search target was the date and type, which are identifiers to be changed, but the content area (D) of the schedule data was left in natural words, for example, the search term "electronic system notebook" was left unchanged. In other words, the type, date, or illustration mark identifier may be changed based on the result of the search (step 51.9) based on this term (step 518). Also,
Since the search data buffer (8,) stores the address information in the data storage unit (7) of all the schedule data of the search results in the form of a correspondence list, one schedule per line is stored as shown in FIG. 17 above. A list displaying the data may be displayed. Therefore, for example, if the results of a search by date are displayed as a list as shown in FIG. 9, the schedule for that date can be grasped at a glance, and detailed contents can be checked by selecting individual schedule data. Furthermore, if the type area (A) of the schedule data is searched for, for example, [S] as shown in FIG. You can create an external memory (9) dedicated to the type. Similarly, batch deletion is also possible.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention configured as described above, it is possible to easily view today's schedule, etc., and to provide an electronic system notebook with excellent operability.
