Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a calendar for displaying on a clock or an information display device or printing on a print medium such as paper.

Conventional technology Except February, as shown in Fig. 6a, a month in which one day is a weekend day,
And, as shown in FIG. 6b, the 6th week exists in both the large months and the 2nd day is the weekend day. 2-4 depending on the year
There are months like this. In the conventional calendar in Japan, a horizontal writing system is used, in which weeks are displayed in rows (horizontal) and days of the week in columns (vertical), from left to right and from top to bottom. Hereinafter, all the explanations will be made according to this method. With this method, since the display for one week of the date is allocated to one line, in the month where the sixth week does not exist, five lines are enough to display all the dates for one month, but the existence of the sixth week exists. You need 6 lines in the month to do. Months requiring 6 rows compared to months requiring 5 rows (6a
(Fig. 6b) has the drawback that the size of the display area for each date is as small as 5/6.

In the year, the majority of months do not have week 6, so
Another conventional calendar tries to limit the month in which this 6th week is limited to 5 rows, and the date of the 6th week is changed to the date of the 5th day of the same day as shown in Fig. 7. It is also written in the display area of. In this case, the size of the numbers is
There is a drawback that it is less than half of the usual one.

The cause of these drawbacks is the large presence of wasted blank areas in the first row.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the present invention sets the number of display lines of dates of all months to less than 6 and makes the display area of each date equal in size throughout the year. The purpose is to increase the area.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, when the date display area of a certain day of the week is determined, the areas of the next day are determined so as to be in contact with each other and staggered. Do this more than once and allocate the areas in a staircase from the beginning of the week to the weekend.

Effect According to the present invention, in the month in which the sixth week exists, the display area for the date of the first day of the second week is allocated to the first line, and the days following the first day are arranged in a staircase to the right, and the weekend day is set. It is possible to allocate them so that they touch the second line of. If it is similarly assigned after the third week, the sixth week can be assigned to the fifth line. As a result, the first conventional method
It became possible to effectively use a large blank area of a line.

Examples In the following examples, the first day of the week will be Sunday and the weekend day will be Saturday, and a large month will be described.

Embodiment 1 In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a to 1c, from Sunday to Saturday, the display areas of the dates of all the days are shifted to the right and left by shifting the preceding and following days and the 1/7 line (D). Allocation is performed in the form of downward stairs. In FIG. 1a, the first day is Saturday, and in FIG. 1b, the first day is Friday. In both cases, the sixth week exists. FIG. 1c shows an example of a month in which week 6 does not exist, but in any case, the number of display lines for all dates is 5 and 2/7.

Embodiment 2 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2a to FIG. 2c, the display areas of the dates for the days before and after the day of the second day are displayed around the day of the second day and the days of the second day and the third day of the week. The rows of days, the rows of the days of the first day of the week, and the rows of the days of the second day of the week are set to 1 / 16th line (A), and the rows of the days of the third day of the week, the days of the fourth day of the week, and the seventh day The day of the week and the day of the 8th are 1/8 rows (C), the day of the 4th, the day of the 5th, and the day of the 6th and 7th. Rows of the day of the week are lined in 3/16 rows (F), rows of the days of the 5th and 6th are set as 1/4 rows (I), and are arranged in a staircase pattern that descends to the right. I do. Fig. 2a shows the case where the 1st day is Saturday, and Fig. 2b shows the case where the 1st day is Friday. In both cases, the sixth week exists. FIG. 2c shows an example of a month in which the sixth week does not exist, but in any case, the number of lines displayed for all dates is 5 and 1/8.

Example 3 In the example shown in Figures 3a-3c, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days
For each day of the week, the display area for the date of the first day of the week is on the first line, the second day of the week is on the second line, the third day of the week is on the third line, the fourth day of the week is on the fourth line, and the fifth day is on the fifth line. Allocate the day of the week to the 5th line. For the days on other days of the week, the days before and after and the one-fifth line (G) are offset from each other, and allocation is performed in the form of a step descending to the right. In Fig. 3a, the first day is Saturday, and in Fig. 3b, the first day is Friday. In both cases, the sixth week exists. Figure 3c is an example of a month where week 6 does not exist,
In either case, the number of lines displayed for all dates is five.

Example 4 In the examples shown in Figures 4a-4c, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days
For each day of the week, the display area for the date of the first day of the week is on the first line, the second day of the week is on the second line, the third day of the week is on the third line, the fourth day of the week is on the fourth line, and the fifth day. Allocate the day of the week to the 5th line. For other days of the week, the date display area is centered on the 1st to 3rd day of the week, and the 3rd day of the week, the 4th day of the week, and the 7th day of the week. And the row of the day of the weekday of the 8th is 1 / 9th line (B), the row of the day of the week of the 4th, the day of the 5th, the day of the 6th and the day of the 7th Is 9
The rows of two minutes (H), the days of the fifth day of the week, and the days of the sixth day of the week are shifted as one-third rows (J), and allocation is performed in a staircase pattern that descends to the right. In Fig. 4a, the first day is Saturday, and in Fig. 4b, the first day is Friday. In both cases, the sixth week exists. FIG. 4c is an example of a month in which week 6 does not exist, but in any case, the number of display lines for all dates is 5.

Fifth Embodiment In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c, the display area for the date of the first day of the week is displayed on the first line, the second day of the week is displayed on the second line, and the third day of the week for each day of the week. Is assigned to the third line, the fourth day is assigned to the fourth line, and the fifth day is assigned to the fifth line. 2 days,
For the 3rd day, the display area of the date is on the first line,
For the 9th and 10th days, the date display area is assigned to the second line, and for the 16th day, the date display area is assigned to the third line. For the days from the 4th to the 7th and from the 11th to the 14th, the previous day and the 1 / 5th line (G) are set, and from the 17th to the 21st day, the previous day and the 1 / 6th line (G). From E) to 23rd to 28th, 3
On the 0th day and the 31st day, the rows are shifted from the previous day and the one-seventh row (D) as steps, and the allocation is performed in a staircase that descends to the right. In Fig. 5a, the first day is Saturday, and in Fig. 5b, the first day is Friday. In both cases, the sixth week exists.
FIG. 5c shows an example of a month in which week 6 does not exist, but in any case, the number of display lines for all dates is 5 and 2/7.

Effect of the Invention In the conventional calendar, in the month in which the sixth week exists, if the sizes of all the display areas of the date are made equal, six lines are required for the display. Then, there is a drawback that the size of the display area is as small as 5/6 of that of the moon which requires only 5 lines. In another conventional calendar, the number of days in the sixth week is changed to the fifth day of the same day in an attempt to limit the number of days in the sixth week to five rows.
If you add it to the display area of the day of the week, the size of the number will be
Both have the drawback of being less than half the usual amount. On the other hand, if all the date display areas of the present invention have the same size and are arranged in a stepwise manner, the useless blank area on the left side of the first row in the conventional calendar can be effectively used. The number of lines required to display all dates can be 5 lines and 2/7 lines, 5 lines and 1/8 lines, or 5 lines as in the embodiment, and in each case, less than 6 lines. Become. Therefore, when the calendar is printed or displayed on the information display device, the print medium is saved and the display device is downsized. Alternatively, the number of the date can be increased by that amount for easier reading, or other information can be added or increased to further enhance the information display effect.
