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 a stationary data management apparatus. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 is a control section for controlling the operation of each section of the circuit. The control section 11 includes a key input section 12
The display unit 13 is connected, and the connector 14 for connecting to the portable electronic notebook is connected via the data transfer control unit 14. The control unit 11 also includes a clock unit 16 for inputting current date and time data.

The key input unit 12 is a character input key for inputting data to be registered such as customer management information and schedule information and a read operation for registered data, and a numeric keypad, as well as registration, cancellation, retrieval and execution. Various function keys such as keys are provided, and the registered data obtained by the control unit 11 by the data registration operation in the key input unit 12 is
It is stored and registered in the data storage unit 17.

Here, for example, when the registration data is customer management information, the customer information for each company name, such as company name, name, address, telephone number, etc., is stored in the data storage unit 17 as one data unit ( Each of the unit data corresponding to individual customer information includes update date / time data (month / day / time) indicating the time at which the data was registered / updated. It is added and stored. On the display unit 13, registered data, registered search data and the like obtained by the control unit 11 in response to a key input operation by the key input unit 12 are displayed and output.

On the other hand, in the data registration operation by the key input unit 12, the registered data transferred and input from the portable electronic notebook connected to the connector 14 to the control unit 11 via the data transfer control unit 15 is a data unit. The received data is received by the data judging unit 1
At 8, it is determined whether or not the data has already been registered in the data storage unit 17, and if it is unregistered data, new registration processing is performed, and if it is registered and content change, update registration processing is performed. ..

That is, for example, when the received data is customer management information, the data judgment unit 18 has the same customer company name as the received data in the customer management information already registered in the data storage unit 17. Whether the same company name exists, whether the same name exists, and when the same name exists, whether or not the update date and time data are the same is determined. If it is determined that the same company name does not exist in the registered customer management information, or if the same company name does not exist, the control unit 11 shifts to the new registration processing of the received data, and the same company name and When it is determined that the name exists and the update date and time do not match, the control unit 11 shifts to the update registration processing of registered data, because the address, telephone number, etc. have been changed.

Here, in the control unit 11, when the process shifts to the new registration process, the determination message "Register?" Indicating whether or not the new registration is possible, and when the process shifts to the update registration process, the update is performed. The registration approval / disapproval determination message “Update?” Is displayed on the display unit 13, and the key input unit 1
The actual registration process is executed after the operator confirmation operation in 2. Next, the operation of the data management device having the above configuration will be described.

That is, when new data or update registration is performed on a portable electronic notebook (not shown), for example, on the go, the new registration data or the update registration data is returned to the office and the stationary data management device is used. In order to register the transfer, the data transfer terminal of the portable electronic notebook is first connected to the connector 14 of the stationary data management device, and the transmission of the registered data is started.

Here, the portable electronic notebook has basically the same functional configuration as that of the stationary data management apparatus, although its scale is small, and at the time of data registration,
The update date / time data is added to the registration data.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the received data registration processing in the data management device, which is the connector 1
When data transfer from the portable electronic notebook is started from 4 through the data transfer control unit 15, the transfer data is sequentially received and held in the data buffer in the control unit 11 until one data transfer is completed. (Steps S1 to S4).

In this way, when one data is received by the control unit 11, the stop code is transmitted from the data transfer control unit 15 to the portable electronic notebook through the connector 14, and the data transfer processing in the electronic notebook is performed. Is once stopped (steps S4 and S5). At this time, the control unit 1
The received data for one item received in 1 is displayed on the display unit 13.

Then, in the control unit 11, the data judgment unit 18 makes a comparison judgment as to whether or not the customer information having the same company name as the company name of the received data is already registered in the data storage device 17. Here, when it is determined that the same company name is registered, it is further determined whether the customer information having the same name as the name in the received data is already registered in the data storage device 17 or not. Are compared and judged in step S6 to S9.

Here, in the data judging section 18,
It is judged that the customer information having the same company name as the customer company name in the received data is not registered, or the customer information having the same name as the received company name is not registered. Then, the control unit 11 shifts to a new registration process, and a message "Register?" For determining whether new registration is possible is displayed on the display unit 13 (steps S7, S9 →
S10).

Then, when the operator confirms the received data displayed on the display unit 13 and the message "Register?" For judging whether or not the new registration is possible, and operates the execution key in the key input unit 12, the operator operates the control unit 11. The received data for one case held in the data buffer is stored in the data storage unit 17
Then, the latest address is designated and transferred to be newly stored and registered (steps S10 → S11).

Thus, the customer information newly registered in the portable electronic notebook is transferred and received as it is to the stationary data management device, and newly registered in the data storage unit 17 thereof.

It should be noted that, at the time of displaying the message "Register?"
When the cancel key in the key input unit 12 is operated, the new registration processing of the received data is not executed.

On the other hand, in the data judging section 18, customer information having the same company name as the customer company name of the received data received by the control section 11 and having the same name is stored in the data storage section 17. When it is determined that the registered customer information is already registered, it is compared and determined whether the update date / time data of the registered customer information matches the update date / time data of the received data (steps S7 to S9 → S12).

Here, even if the company name and the name are the same, if the update date / time data is different and it is determined that the data content such as the address or the telephone number is changed, the control unit 11 causes the update registration process. Then, the update registration approval / disapproval determination message "Update?" Is displayed on the display unit 13 (steps S12 to S14).

Then, when the operator confirms the received data displayed on the display unit 13 and the update registration approval / disapproval determination message "Update?", And operates the execute key in the key input unit 12, the operator operates the control unit 11. The received data for one case held in the data buffer is stored in the data storage unit 17
The same company name and the customer information address having the same name are designated and transferred for update storage registration (step S14).
→ S15).

As a result, the customer information updated and registered in the portable electronic notebook is transferred and received as it is to the stationary data management device, and the registered customer information in the data storage unit 17 is updated and registered. Become.

When the update registration approval / disapproval determination message "Update?" Is displayed in step S14,
When the cancel key in the key input unit 12 is operated, the update registration process of the received data is not executed.

In this way, when the new registration processing, update registration processing, or non-registration processing that accompanies the reception of the above-mentioned one customer information is performed, the control unit 11 connects to the connector 14 via the data transfer control unit 15. The transmission resumption code is transmitted to the portable electronic notebook that has been registered, and the transfer processing of registered data in the portable electronic notebook is restarted (step S16).

After that, by repeating the processes of steps S1 to S16, the registered customer data registered in the portable electronic notebook is sequentially transferred and received one by one to the stationary data management device, and a new data is received each time. The registration process, the update registration process, or the unregistered process comes to be executed.

During the data transfer registration process from the electronic notebook to the data management device, the key input unit 1
When the release key in 2 is operated, the data transfer registration process is interrupted (step S1). When the transfer end code is received from the electronic notebook to the data management device, the data transfer registration process is ended (step S3).

As a result, when new data is registered or updated to the portable electronic notebook, for example, when the user is out of the office, the new registered data or the updated registered data is returned to the office and directly used as a stationary data management device. The transfer can be registered.

Therefore, according to the data management apparatus having the above configuration, when data is received by the control unit 11 from the portable electronic notebook (not shown) via the connector 14 and the data transfer control unit 15, the data storage unit 17 is provided. In the data judging section 18, it is judged whether or not the data is of a different type from the data stored and registered in advance, and if the data is of a different type, a new registration process is performed on the data storing section 17 so that If it is data, the data judging unit 18 compares and judges whether the registration / update dates and times match, and if it is judged that they do not match, the received data is stored in the data storage unit 17 as change data. Since the registered data contents are updated, for example, the data registered and updated in the portable electronic notebook can be directly transferred to the stationary data management device. Is sent, it is possible to newly registered or updated registration.

With this, it is possible to automatically transfer and register data to the data management device without having to repeatedly perform the same key input operation as the data input operation performed on the electronic notebook.

In the above embodiment, the configuration of the stationary data management apparatus is illustrated and the data transfer registration processing from the portable electronic notebook (not shown) is described. However, the data transfer registration processing from the data management apparatus to the electronic notebook is described. Also, the same processing can be performed only by replacing the data management device shown in the above embodiment with an electronic notebook.
