Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable complicated setting of plural times of actuation time with limited actuation time data by processing the actuation time data of the specified day of which date and time are directly appointed, with the utmost priority, and then by processing weekly appointing data which appoints the specified month, with the second best priority. CONSTITUTION:Actuation time data is constituted of a set of year data YY, month data MM, day-of-week data W, time data XX and minute data ZZ. The actuation time data which is set at an actually existing month and date, actuates a timer as the time data indicates, by using the data as the data appointing the specified date. Among the actuation time data, a data of which date is expressed as DD = 00, is assumed to be a weekly appointing data of every specified month. In this case, the timer works at the same hour and minute of the same day, each week of the set month. Among the actuation time data, data of which month is expressed as MM = 00 and date, DD = 00, is assumed to be a weekly appointing data. Priority of the actuation time data is the highest in specified date appointing data and the lowest in the weekly appointing data. In other words, when a plurality of actuation time data exist in the same day and if there is a specified date appointing data, timer works according to the latter data.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】［産業上の利用分野コ本発明はタイマーに関し、特にあらかじめ指定された日
付拳時刻に到達したとき作動するタイマーに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a timer, and more particularly to a timer that operates when a pre-specified date and time is reached.

［従来の技術］従来、タイマーを複数回繰返し作動させる場合には作動

That is, when a plurality of operation time data exist on the same day, if there is specific day designation data among them, the timer operates according to the specific day designation data. Furthermore, if there is no specific day specification data but there is specific month weekly specification data, the timer operates according to the specific month weekly specification data. Furthermore, if there is no specific day designation data or specific month weekly designation data, the timer operates according to the weekly designation data.
