The RAM 14, the condition storage register (A) 15, the coincidence comparison unit 16, and the counter (n) 17 are connected, and the display unit 19 including a liquid crystal dot matrix is connected via the display driver 18.

The key input unit 12 is a numeric keypad for creating personal information such as business card data, an alphanumeric key, a character input key (not shown) such as a hiragana key, etc., and is operated when displaying a portrait. The portrait key 20 functions as a face pattern selection key for selecting a part of a human face such as hair, eyes, nose, and mouth and a part pattern for each part in the portrait creation mode. , Personal information items (address, age, gender, etc.) as search conditions and the contents of the items ("Tokyo" for address, "20" for age)
Cursor key (←, →, ↑, ↓) that functions as a condition specification key for selecting and specifying "Age" and "Male" for gender) 21
a, 21b, 22a, 22b, a question key 23 operated when determining and executing the search condition, a selection key 24 for selectively displaying only the similar face corresponding to the personal information matching the search condition. Various function keys such as a switching key 25 that is operated when displaying personal information corresponding to a similar face instead of the similar face are provided.

In the parts ROM 13, each part of the face is a hairstyle,
It is divided into parts such as eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, etc., and a plurality of types of part patterns are numbered at predetermined storage positions for each part and stored as bitmap data. Seventy-three divided hairstyle patterns are stored at address "1" of the part.

As the "mouth" part patterns in the present embodiment, mouth patterns corresponding to a plurality of types of normal mouth patterns are memorized as a pair of laughing mouth patterns.

The RAM 14 stores a plurality of pieces of personal information such as name, address, age, sex, blood type, hobby, telephone number and the like, together with montage data representing a person's face. In this case, montage data. Are stored as numbers indicating the respective part patterns stored in the parts ROM 13. That is, the montage data is stored as a part pattern number for each part forming a person's similar face.

Here, a condition determination flag F is provided in the storage area (0, 1, 2, ...) Of each personal data in the RAM 14, and this flag F indicates when personal information matches the retrieval condition. Is set to "1", if they do not match, "2" is set, and if they are erased by the selection operation after the mismatch, "3" is set.

The condition storage register (A) 15 has cursor keys (←, →, ↑, ↓) 21a, 2 as the condition designating keys when searching for data in the portrait display mode.
The search conditions selected and designated by 1b, 22a, and 22b are coded and stored. The counter (n) 17 has
Area numbers (0, 1, 2, ...) Of the data read destination for the RAM 14 are set.

The coincidence comparing section 16 searches the data in the similar face display mode, and the condition storing register 15 is used.
The code number of the search condition set and stored in the above is compared with the personal information code number of the storage area in the data read destination RAM 14 set in the counter (n) 17, and the coincidence judgment of the numbers is performed. The match determination signal in the match comparison unit 16 is output to the CPU 11.

Here, when the coincidence determination signal is output from the coincidence comparison unit 16, the flag F in the storage area in the RAM 14 having the personal information for which the coincidence determination is made is "1".
When the part pattern corresponding to the "mouth" of the montage data is changed from the normal mouth pattern to the laughing mouth pattern and is displayed, and when the mismatch comparing signal is output from the match comparing unit 16 Is
The flag F in the storage area in the RAM 14 having the personal information for which the discrepancy is determined is set to "2", and the similar face displayed corresponding to the montage data is horizontally swung.

The display driver 18 drives the display unit 19 to display corresponding to the displayed data sent from the CPU 11. For example, the plurality of montage data read from the RAM 14 are the part numbers of the respective parts. The part patterns stored in the parts ROM 13 are read out, combined with each other, and displayed on the display unit 19 via the display driver 18. Next, a data search operation of the electronic notebook equipped with the montage creating device having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a data search process using an electronic notebook equipped with the montage creating device. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5 are views showing a similar face display state accompanying a data search process by an electronic notebook equipped with the montage creating device. In this case, RAM
In the personal data storage area (0 to 5) 14, personal information and montage data of six people are created and registered in advance in 14.

That is, when the similar face key 20 in the key input unit 12 is operated, the CPU 11 is set to the similar face display mode, and the personal data storage area (0, 1, 2, ...) In the RAM 14 is designated. The value n of the counter (n) 17 to be reset is reset to the initial value "0" (step S1).

Then, the first name "Ichiro Suzuki" and its montage data stored in the personal data storage area "0" in the RAM 14 designated by the counter (n = 0) 17 are read out by the CPU 11 and at the same time. ,
Each part pattern that constitutes this montage data is read from the parts ROM 13 and synthesized by the display driver 18, and as shown in FIG. 3A, the first predetermined display position of the display unit 19 (in this case, the upper left side). Is displayed together with the name "Ichiro Suzuki" (step S2).

Here, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "1", and whether or not the counter value n reaches "6", that is, six persons stored in the RAM 14 are stored. It is determined whether or not all the similar faces are displayed at once (steps S3 and S4).

In this case, since the counter value n = 1, N "N
"o" and the second name "Hiroshi Yamamoto" and its montage data stored in the personal data storage area "1" in the RAM 14 designated by the counter (n = 1) 17 are read by the CPU 11. In addition, each part pattern that composes this montage data is a part ROM.
3 is read out from the display unit 13, synthesized by the display driver 18, and is displayed together with the name "Hiroshi Yamamoto" at the second predetermined display position of the display unit 19 (in this case, the center of the upper row), as shown in FIG. Steps S4 → S2).

Thereafter, in steps S2 to S4, the data read destination updating process of the personal data storage area in the RAM 14 and the reading and combining process of the montage data from the updated personal data storage area are repeated, so that FIG. As shown in (A), the third name "Masako Obayashi" and its face, the fourth name "Katsu Sato"
And its similar face, the name of the sixth person "Kawaguchi Manabu" registered in the RAM 14 and the similar face thereof are sequentially read and displayed together.

In this way, the names of the six persons registered in the RAM 14 and their similarities are initially displayed, and the search condition item corresponding to the personal information is initially set to "sex" and its content to "male". It

Here, the cursor key (↓) is used to change the content to "woman" while keeping the search condition item "sex" as it is.
When 22b is operated, as shown in FIG. 3B, the search condition is set and displayed as "sex: woman" (step S
5).

In addition, the cursor keys (←, →, ↑,
↓) When 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b is operated, a new search condition is set, so R
The flag F provided in each personal data storage area (0 to 6) in the AM 14 is reset to "0" only when F = 1 and F = 2 which are not excluded from the display unit 19 (step). S6).

Then, the code number corresponding to the search condition "sex: woman" displayed and set on the display unit 19 is set in the register (A) 15 and the state of waiting for a search execution instruction by operating the question key 23 is set. (Steps S7, S
8).

That is, the cursor keys (←, →, ↑, ↓) 21a, 21b, 22 in the above steps S5 to S8.
By repeating the operation processing of a and 22b, the flag reset processing, and the condition writing processing, an arbitrary search condition relating to personal information registered in advance is selected and designated.

In this way, when the query key 23 is operated in the state where the search condition "sex: woman" is set, the counter (n) 17 is reset to "0", and the first person's personal data is stored in the RAM 14. The area is designated as a data reading destination, and the personal information (name, address, age, sex, ...) Is sequentially read (steps S8 → S9, S1).
0).

Here, whether or not the flag F of the personal data storage area (0) whose personal information is currently being read is set to "3", that is, whether or not the display is already excluded by the condition search. If it is determined that F = 0 or 1 or 2, that is, that display is not excluded,
The code number of each piece of personal information of the first person read in step S10, and the search condition "sex: woman" written in the register (A) 15 in step S7.
The match comparing unit 16 determines whether or not the code number corresponding to the code number matches (step S11 → S1).
2).

In this case, the content of the personal information "sex" of the first person "Ichiro Suzuki" is "male", and if the match comparing unit 16 determines that the search condition "sex: female" does not match,
The flag F of the corresponding personal data storage area (0) is set to "2" indicating the condition disagreement, and as shown in FIG. 3C, the first similar face displayed on the display unit 19 indicates that the condition is denied. Swinging control is performed in the left-right direction in the sense of being visually displayed (steps S13 → S14, S15).

Here, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "1", and whether or not the counter value n reaches "6", that is, six persons stored in the RAM 14 are stored. It is determined whether or not the condition search process for the personal information is completed (steps S16 and S17).

Then, since the counter value n = 1, N "N
"o", the personal information of the second person "Hiroshi Yamamoto" stored in the personal data storage area "1" in the RAM 14 designated by the counter (n = 1) 17 is read, and the flag F = 3 is not satisfied. After confirming this, register (A) 15 above
The match comparing unit 16 determines whether or not it matches the code number corresponding to the search condition “sex: woman” written in (step S17 → S10, S11).

In this case, the content of the personal information "sex" of the second person "Hiro Yamamoto" is also "male", and when the match comparing unit 16 determines that the search condition "sex: female" does not match,
The flag F of the corresponding personal data storage area (1) is set to "2" indicating the condition disagreement, and the second similar face displayed on the display unit 19 indicates that the condition is denied, as shown in FIG. 3 (C). Swinging control is performed in the left-right direction in the sense of being visually displayed (steps S13 → S14, S15).

Then, in step S16, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "2", and step S1
At 0, the personal information of the third person "Masako Obayashi" stored in the personal data storage area "2" in the RAM 14 designated by the counter (n = 2) 17 is read out, and at the steps S12 and S13, the register is stored. (A) 15
When the match comparison unit 16 determines that the code number corresponding to the search condition “sex: woman” written in “”, the flag F of the corresponding personal data storage area (2) indicates that the condition matches. The third person "Masako Obayashi" set to 1 "and displayed on the display unit 19 as shown in FIG. 3 (C).
The part pattern of the "mouth" having the similar face is changed from the normal mouth pattern to the laughing mouth pattern in the sense that the condition affirmation is visually displayed (steps S13 → S18, S).
19).

After that, the above-mentioned steps S10 to S19 are repeated so that the same condition determination process as described above is performed.
It is executed in the personal data storage areas (3 to 5) in M14, and the flags F of the personal data storage areas (3, 5) corresponding to the fourth person "Katsu Sato" and the sixth person "Gaku Kawaguchi" indicate that the conditions do not match. Set to "2" as shown,
The corresponding face is controlled to swing in the left and right direction in the sense that the condition negation is visually displayed.

Also, the flag F of the personal data storage area (4) corresponding to the fifth person "Eri Kikuchi" is set to "1" indicating the condition agreement, and the corresponding part pattern of the "mouth" of the similar face is set. , In the sense of visually displaying affirmative conditions, the normal mouth pattern is changed to a laughing mouth pattern and displayed.

That is, when the question key 23 is operated in a state where the search condition "sex: woman" is selected and designated, the personal information "sex: male" of the six similar faces displayed on the display unit 19 in a batch is displayed. The similar face registered in "is controlled to swing, the condition disagreement is appealed to the user, and the similar face registered in" Gender: Female "is changed to a laughing face, and the condition coincidence is appealed to the user.

When the selection key 24 is operated to exclude similar faces that do not match the search condition in the state where the search is completed by the first search condition "sex: woman",
As shown in FIG. 4 (A), the similarities where the flag F in the personal data storage area in the RAM 14 is set to "2" indicating the condition mismatch, that is, the first person "Ichiro Suzuki" and the second person "Yamamoto" The portraits of “Hiroshi”, the fourth person “Katsu Sato”, and the sixth person “Kawaguchi Manabu” are excluded from the display unit 19, and the respective flags F are set to “3” indicating the deletion of the similarities (steps S20 → S21).

Then, the flag F = 1 in the personal data storage area (2, 4 in this case) in the RAM 14 in which the condition match is obtained is reset to "0", and as shown in FIG. The part pattern of the "mouth" with a similar appearance is
The laughing mouth pattern that visually displays the affirmative condition is returned to the normal mouth pattern and displayed (step S22).

As a result, of the six similar faces registered in the RAM 14 in advance and collectively displayed on the display unit 19, first, only the similar faces having the personal information matching the first search condition "sex: woman" are left. It becomes a state.

Then, by operating the cursor key (→) 21b and selecting and designating the item of the second search condition as "age" as shown in FIG. 4B, the content is "20s". When the cursor key (↓) 22b is operated to change the contents to "30s" while the search condition item "age" is left unchanged, as shown in FIG. 4C, The second search condition is set and displayed as "age: 30s" (step S5).

In this case, the cursor keys (←,
→, ↑, ↓) 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b is operated, new search conditions are set, so that each personal data storage area (0 to 0) in the RAM 14 is set.
The flag F provided in 6) is reset to "0" only when F = 1 and F = 2 that are not excluded from the display unit 19 (step S6).

Here, the RAM 14 of the third person "Masako Obayashi" and the fifth person "Eri Kikuchi" who still have similar faces displayed.
Flag F in the personal data storage area (2, 4) in
Has already been reset to "0" in step S22.

Then, the code number corresponding to the search condition "age: thirties" displayed and set on the display section 19 is set in the register (A) 15 and the search execution instruction is awaited by operating the question key 23. (Steps S7, S
8).

Thus, the second search condition "age: 3"
When the question key 23 is operated in the state where “0 generation” is set, the counter (n) 17 is reset to “0” and RA
The first personal data storage area in M14 is designated as the data reading destination, and the personal information (name, address,
Age, sex, ...) is read (steps S8 → S9,
S10).

Here, the flag F of the personal data storage area (0) that is currently being read out of personal information has already been set to "3" in step S21, and the display exclusion has already been performed by the first condition search. If it is determined that the personal information is stored, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to “1”, and the personal information (name, address, age, sex, ...) From the personal data storage area of the second person in the RAM 14. It is read (steps S11 → S16, S17 → S1
0).

Here, further, the flag F of the second person's personal data storage area (1) has already been set to "3" in the step S21, and the display has already been excluded by the first condition search. If it is determined that the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to “2”, the RAM 14
The personal information (name, address, age, sex, ...) Is read from the third person's personal data storage area (step S11 → S16, S17 → S10).

In this case, since the flag F in the personal data storage area of the third person "Masako Obayashi" is reset to "0", it is judged as N "No" in the step S11, and the third person is judged in the step S10. And the code number of each personal information read from the personal data storage area (2) and the second search condition “age: 30” written in the register (A) 15 in step S7.
The match comparing unit 16 compares and determines whether or not the code number corresponding to “Tai” matches (step S11 → S).
12).

In this case, the content of the personal information "age" of the third "Masako Obayashi" is "28", and the coincidence comparing unit 1
When it is determined that the search condition “age: 30's” does not match in 6 in FIG. 6, the flag F of the corresponding personal data storage area (2) is set to “2” indicating the condition mismatch, and FIG.
As shown in, the third similar face displayed on the display unit 19 is controlled to swing in the left and right direction in the sense that the condition negation is visually displayed (steps S13 → S14, S15).

Here, again, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "3", and the personal information (name, address,
Age, sex, ...) is read (steps S16, S1).
7 → S10).

Then, the flag F of the personal data storage area (3) of the fourth person is already set to "3" in step S21, and it is judged that the display is already excluded by the first condition search. Then, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "4", and the personal information (name, address, age, sex, ...) Is read from the personal data storage area of the fifth person in the RAM 14 (step S11). → S16, S17 → S10).

In this case, since the flag F in the personal data storage area of the fifth person "Eri Kikuchi" has been reset to "0", it is judged as N "No" in step S11, and the fifth person is judged in step S10. Code number of each personal information read from the personal data storage area (4) and the register (A) in step S7.
The match comparison unit 16 determines whether or not the code number corresponding to the second search condition “age: 30s” written in 15 matches.
Are compared and determined in step S11 → S12.

Here, the code number corresponding to the search condition "age: 30s" written in the register (A) 15 and the individual read out from the personal data storage area (4) of the fifth person in step S10. When the coincidence comparing unit 16 determines that the code number of the information age item matches, the flag F of the corresponding personal data storage area (4) is set to "1" indicating the condition agreement, as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the part pattern of the "mouth", which is similar to the fifth person "Eri Kikuchi" displayed on the display unit 19, has been changed from the normal mouth pattern to the laughing mouth pattern in the sense of visually displaying the affirmative condition. Displayed (steps S13 → S18, S1
9).

Thereafter, the counter (n) 17 is further added.
Is updated to "5", and the personal information (name, address, age, sex, ...) Of the sixth person's personal data storage area in the RAM 14 is read (step S16,
S17 → S10).

Then, the flag F of the sixth person's personal data storage area (5) is already set to "3" in step S21, and it is judged that the display is already excluded by the first condition search. Then, the value n of the counter (n) 17 is updated to "6", and the state of waiting for the input of the selection key 24 is reached (steps S11 → S16, S17).
→ S20).

That is, the second search condition "age: 30s"
When the question key 23 is operated in a state in which is selected and designated, among the similar faces of the two persons (the third person and the fifth person) remaining displayed on the display unit 19, as personal information, “age: 30 to 30”.
The registered facial portraits other than "39" are controlled to swing, the condition dissimilarity is appealed to the user, and "age: 30 to 3"
The similar face registered within "9" is changed and displayed as a laughing face, and the condition agreement is appealed to the user.

In this way, in the state where the search has been completed under the first search condition "sex: woman" and the second search condition "age: 30s", selection is made to exclude similar faces that do not match the search condition. When the key 24 is operated, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the flag F in the personal data storage area in the RAM 14 is set to "2" indicating that the conditions do not match, that is, the third person " The portrait of “Masako Obayashi” is deleted from the display unit 19 and its flag F is set to “3” indicating the portrait deletion (steps S20 → S2).
1).

Then, the flag F = 1 in the personal data storage area (4 in this case) in the RAM 14 for which the condition match is obtained is reset to "0", and as shown in FIG. The "mouth" part pattern is displayed by returning from the laughing mouth pattern that visually displays affirmative conditions to the normal mouth pattern (step S22).

As a result, personal information matching the first and second search conditions "sex: woman" and "age: thirties" among the six similar faces registered in the RAM 14 in advance and collectively displayed on the display unit 19 is displayed. Only the portraits with are left.

Here, when it is desired to confirm the personal information corresponding to the fifth portrait "Eri Kikuchi" which satisfies the first and second search conditions, the switch key 25 is operated.
The personal information (address, age, sex, blood type, etc.) is read out from the personal data storage area (4) in the RAM 14 and displayed on the display unit 19 in place of or together with the similar face.

Therefore, according to the electronic notebook equipped with the montage creating device having the above-mentioned structure, each personal data storage area (0
The montage data corresponding to the personal information of the six persons registered in advance in (5) to (5) are collectively displayed on the display unit 18 from the display driver 18 as the corresponding similar faces by synthesizing the respective part patterns stored in the parts ROM 13. Then, it is asked whether the personal information of each of the six similar faces displayed collectively and the search condition selected and designated by the cursor keys 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b and the register (A) 15 match. In accordance with the operation, the match comparison unit 16 makes a comparison determination, and according to the determination result (match / mismatch), each corresponding facial pattern is changed to a laughing face indicating a condition match or a swinging state indicating a condition mismatch. Therefore, for example, it is possible to visually narrow down and search for an individual's similar face that meets a plurality of conditions from a plurality of pre-registered similar faces.

In the above embodiment, the change state of the portrait display corresponding to the condition match / condition mismatch is controlled to the laughing face and the swaying state due to the change of the mouth pattern. Alternatively, it may be changed by waving a hand / looking backwards.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the similar face that does not match the condition is erased according to the operation of the selection key 24,
Although the similar face remaining as the condition match is displayed at the same position on the display unit 19 as it is, the similar face remaining as the condition match may be sequentially packed and displayed on the display unit 19. Further, in the above embodiment, the personal information registered in the RAM 14 is described as six persons, but the number of registered personal information is not limited in any way.
