This scheduler is comprised in such a way that both the date of the schedule and the preliminary information day stored in the RAM 14 are set as retrieval targets, and the schedule in which the date coincides with a retrieval day and the one in which the preliminary information day coincides with the retrieval day are displayed when the schedule is displayed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic scheduler such as an electronic notebook for storing and managing an action schedule.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electronic organizer with a schedule management function includes input means for inputting schedule data consisting of dates and requirements, storage means for storing the schedule data input by this input means, and this storage means. Date management is performed on the schedule data stored in the table using a clock circuit or the like, and when date data corresponding to the current day exists, the date data and requirement data corresponding to the date data are displayed to notify the user. And a search notification means for performing the search.

In this case, if the user does not confirm in advance the schedule data registered in advance until the future date, the normal schedule display operation will not be the day when the schedule actually exists. I could not know the schedule contents.

[0004]

That is, in the above-mentioned conventional electronic notebook with a schedule management function, the contents of the schedule are not notified until the day when the schedule actually exists. For example, birthdays, anniversaries, rewriting of licenses, etc. In the case of a schedule that requires some preparation in advance, there is a problem that the effectiveness of schedule management is low.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in the case of schedule data that requires some preparation in advance, the schedule data is not notified only on the requirement day, and the schedule content is met. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic scheduler capable of giving advance notification in advance of a predetermined number of days.

[0006]

That is, an electronic scheduler according to the present invention has an input means for inputting data including at least a date and its schedule content, and a storage means for storing a keyword and the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword. And a judgment means for judging whether or not there is a keyword stored in the storage means in the schedule content input by the input means, and when it is determined by the determination means that there is a keyword in the input schedule content. A calculation means for calculating the advance notification date based on the date corresponding to the schedule content and the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword; and the date input by the input means, the schedule content and the schedule content. Schedule data that stores the advance notification date calculated by the above calculation means A storage means, a search means for searching the schedule data stored in the schedule data storage means for the date and the advance notification date, and a display means for displaying the schedule data searched by the search means. It was done.

[0007]

In other words, when the number of days for preparation corresponding to the keyword is stored in advance together with the keyword such as "birthday" or "anniversary", and when the schedule data is input, the contents of the schedule data are related to the keyword. Has
The date for advance notification is calculated based on the date of the schedule data and the number of preparation days corresponding to the keywords, and the input schedule data is stored together with the date for advance notification. By setting both the notification dates as the search targets, the schedule of the search day and the schedule of the future that requires advance preparation based on the search day are displayed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an electronic scheduler, which has a key input unit 11.

The key input unit 11 is operated when performing a key input registration process of schedule data such as date and schedule contents, and a search / read process of already registered schedule data. The key input signal from is output to the CPU 12. This CPU1
A ROM 13 and a RAM 14 are connected to 2, and a display unit 16 is connected via a display buffer 15.

The ROM 13 stores in advance a system program for causing the CPU 12 to perform a schedule data registration process, a search display process, and the like in accordance with a key input signal from the key input unit 11, and "Birth" A keyword table is stored in which keywords such as “day” and “anniversary” are associated with the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword and the preparation content message.

FIG. 2 shows the ROM 1 of the electronic scheduler.
3 shows a keyword table stored in FIG. 3, and in the case of the present embodiment, the keywords are “birthday”, “anniversary”, and “license”, and the number of preparation days and preparation content message are stored for each of the keywords. To be done.

The RAM 14 stores a schedule table in which schedule data corresponding to a key input signal from the key input section 11 is registered as a set of the date and contents of the schedule. Is provided with a notification date area and a keyword area corresponding to the dates and contents of each schedule.

FIG. 3 shows the RAM 1 of the electronic scheduler.
4 shows the schedule table stored in FIG. 4, in which the schedule data key-input is registered in association with the date and the contents, and the schedule contents are stored in the individual schedule items. A keyword area in which existing keyword data is registered, and a notification date area in which an advance notification date calculated according to the number of advance preparation days are registered are provided.

When inputting and registering schedule data, the key input data from the key input unit 11 is sequentially displayed on the display unit 16 through the display buffer 15, and at the same time,
When searching and displaying the schedule data, the current day's schedule and a schedule that requires advance preparation based on the current day are displayed. Next, the operation of the electronic scheduler having the above configuration will be described.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the schedule data registration process in the electronic scheduler. When the schedule date and its contents are entered by the key input unit 11, the schedule contents are stored in the ROM 1
The CPU 12 determines whether or not the keyword table of No. 3 (see FIG. 2) includes a keyword stored in advance (steps S1 and S2).

Here, for example, when the schedule data key-input in the above step S1 is "10/5: Tennis match", the keywords "birthday" and "anniversary" stored in the keyword table are stored. Since neither "license" is included, the schedule data "10 /
5: Tennis match "is transferred and registered as it is in the schedule table (see FIG. 3) in the RAM 14 (steps S2 → S3).

On the other hand, for example, when the schedule data key-input in step S1 is "10/12: Hanako's birthday", the keyword "birthday" stored in the keyword table must be included. Is CPU12
Then, the number of advance preparation days “7” stored in advance corresponding to the keyword “birthday” is subtracted from the date “10/12” of the schedule, and the advance notification date “10 / 5 ”is calculated (step S
2 → S4).

Then, together with the schedule data "10/12: Hanako's birthday" entered by the key, the advance notice date "10/5" calculated in step S4 is associated with the keyword "birthday". RAM1
No. 4 is registered in the schedule table (step S5).

That is, by repeating the processes of steps S1 to S5, the schedule data including the keyword is associated with the advance notice date and the keyword in advance,
It will be registered in the schedule table.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a search and display process of schedule data in the electronic scheduler, in which the date of the day managed by a clock circuit (not shown) is "10/5" and the schedule table of the RAM 14 is shown. The schedule data corresponding to FIG. 3 is registered in.

That is, when the key input unit 11 is operated to instruct the display of the schedule, first, the first schedule data registered in the schedule table in the RAM 14 is designated, and the date data thereof is the date "10".
/ 5 ”is determined (steps A1, A
2).

In this case, the schedule data designated in step A1 is "10/5: Tennis match".
Therefore, it is judged that the date matches "10/5" on that day, and the schedule data "10/5: Tennis match"
Is written in the display buffer 15 (step A2 → A
3). Then, it is determined whether or not the next schedule data exists in the schedule table in the RAM 14 (step A4).

Here, in the above schedule table,
Since the second and subsequent schedule data still exist,
The second schedule data "10/6: Alumni association" is designated, and it is determined whether the date data matches the date "10/5" of the current day (steps A4 → A1, A2).

In this case, since the schedule data designated in step A1 is "10/6: Alumni association", it is judged that the schedule data does not coincide with the date "10/5" on the day,
Further, it is determined whether or not the advance day-to-day data on the schedule table corresponding to the schedule data “10/6: Alumni Association” matches the date “10/5” on the current day (steps A2 → A5).

Here, the schedule data "10 /
Since "6: Alumni association" is not associated with the prior notification date, it is determined that the notification dates do not match, and it is determined whether or not the next schedule data exists in the schedule table in the RAM 14 (step A5 → A4). ..

Here, in the above schedule table,
Since there are still 3rd and later schedule data,
The third schedule data "10/12: Hanako's birthday" is specified, and the date data is "10 /
It is determined whether or not it matches “5” (step A4 → A
1, A2).

In this case, the schedule data specified in step A1 is "10/12: Hanako's birthday".
Therefore, it is judged that the date does not coincide with the date "10/5" on the current day, and further, the advance date data on the schedule table corresponding to this schedule data "10/12: Hanako's birthday" is the date on the day above. It is determined whether or not it matches “10/5” (steps A2 → A5).

Here, the schedule data "10/1
Since the advance notification date "10/5" is associated with "2: Hanako's birthday", it is determined that the notification dates match, and the schedule data "10/12: Hanako's birthday" is displayed in the display buffer 15. Is written in (step A5 → A6).

Further, based on the keyword "birthday" associated with the schedule data in which the advance notice date coincides, the preparation message "preparing for a present!" Stored in the keyword table in the ROM 13 is read out and displayed in the display buffer. It is written in 15 (step A7).

Here, in the display buffer 15, together with the schedule data "10/5: Tennis match" corresponding to the current day's date written in step A3, the current day's date written in steps A6 and A7. The schedule data "10/12: Hanako's birthday" and the preparation message "Prepare for a gift!"
And are stored. Then, it is determined whether or not the next schedule data exists in the schedule table in the RAM 14 (step A4).

Here, in the above schedule table,
Since there are still 4th and later schedule data,
The fourth schedule data "10/14: Business trip" is designated, and it is determined whether the date data matches the date "10/5" of the current day (steps A4 → A1, A2).

In this case, since the schedule data designated in step A1 is "10/14: Business trip", it is judged that the schedule data "10/5" does not match the date of the day, and the schedule data "10 / 14: It is determined whether or not the advance day-to-day data on the schedule table corresponding to "14: Business trip" matches the date "10/5" of the day (step A2 → A5).

Here, the schedule data "10/1
Since the advance notice date is not associated with "4: business trip", it is determined that the notice dates do not match, and it is determined whether or not the next schedule data exists in the schedule table in the RAM 14 (step A5 → A4). ..

Here, in the schedule table,
Since the fifth and subsequent schedule data does not exist, it is determined to be (No) in step A4, and the above step A3
Data written in the display buffer 15 in sequence at A6 and A7 are output to the display unit 16 for display. (Steps A4 → A8).

As a result, the display unit 16 displays the schedule data "10/5: Tennis match" corresponding to the date of the current day and the schedule data "10/12: Hanako's schedule data" in which the prior notice date matches the date of the day. "Birthday" and its preparation message "Prepare for a gift!" Will be displayed side by side, and the user will receive a present for today's tennis match and Hanako's birthday on October 12th. You will be able to know in advance that preparation is required.

Therefore, according to the electronic scheduler having the above-mentioned configuration, the keywords such as "birthday" and "anniversary" as well as the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword are stored in the ROM 13 in advance.
When the schedule data is input by the key input unit 11, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the contents of the schedule data are related to the keyword, and if the schedule is a keyword-related schedule, the date of the schedule data is stored. The advance notification date is calculated based on the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword and the input schedule data is stored and registered in the RAM 14 together with the advance notification date. At the time of the schedule display operation, the schedule date and the advance date stored in the RAM 14 are stored. Both notification dates are set as search targets, and both the schedule with the same date on the search day and the schedule with the same prior notification date on the search day are configured to be displayed. Schedule according to the requirements. It is possible to notify in advance before the number of days. Although the keyword table is provided in the ROM in the above embodiment, it can be arbitrarily set in the RAM.
