Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information management device capable of registering and managing information described in a business card, a postcard, and the like, and retrieving and retrieving such information if necessary.

[Prior Art and Problems Thereof] Recently, the amount of information, that is, data, owned by individuals tends to increase more and more. For example, a calculator with a data bank function is known as a means for organizing and managing this data. That is, this is one in which a name, a telephone number, etc. are input / registered, and these are retrieved and retrieved as necessary.

By the way, in such a calculator, for example, when data with the same name and the same telephone number is input, it is unconditionally registered, that is, even if the data is the same, this data is registered as separate data in a superimposed manner. It is like this. For this reason, if you try to retrieve and retrieve data that has been registered multiple times in this way, the data with the same name and phone number will be output repeatedly, which will be bothersome and inaccurate to the user. There was a drawback that it was difficult to use, such as giving a feeling. In addition, if the same data is repeatedly stored in this manner, a large amount of memory area is used wastefully, and the registration of other data is restricted accordingly, and the number of data that can be registered is significantly increased. It had the drawback of being limited.

On the other hand, recent information on individuals covers many items such as name, address, company name, and job title. However, for these items, for example, the address and post often change, and as a result of these items changing,
Information management tends to become more and more complicated as it is handled as information different from previously registered information.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to check the same information item by item, to confirm a partial change of input information in advance, and to unnecessary duplicate registration of the same information. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information management device capable of preventing the above and registering a large amount of information with a limited storage capacity.

[Points of the Invention] The information management device according to the present invention compares the information input by the information input means and the information already stored in the storage means with respect to the selection items set in advance and searches for the same content. However, if there is the same content, the information of the items having the same information and the information of the items having different information are displayed in different display modes. Further, it is possible to instruct cancellation and re-registration of display information based on this display.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the circuit configuration of the entire apparatus. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a key input unit, and the input unit 1 includes a numerical key, a read [R] key, a flag [F] as an effective key.
Key, search [S] key, registration key, cancel [CANCEL]
It has a key, an effective [EXE] key, and [name] key, [address] key, [company name] key, etc. as the item setting keys.

The key input of the key input unit 1 is given to the key determination unit 2. The key determination unit 2 determines the content of the key input, and gives an execution key signal to the control unit 3 when the execution key is input. The output of the key determination unit 2 is the input type buffer 4
Sent to

Here, the control unit 3 stores various control programs, gives a sampling signal to the key input unit 1, and also a data processing RAM 5, a data reader unit 6, a recognition unit 7, a data editing unit 8 and a display buffer. 9, an operation command is given to the flag data processing unit 10, the comparison judgment unit 11, the comparison item control unit 12, and the storage unit address counter 13.

The input-type buffer 4 temporarily stores the output of the key determination unit 2, and outputs the output to the control unit 3, the data processing RAM 5,
It is given to the flag data processing unit 10 and the display buffer 9. In addition, the data reader unit 6, such as an OCR, is a device for inputting and identifying with an image, or a magnetic stripe,
A device that directly reads data from a barcode is used. The output of the data reader unit 6 is output to the recognition unit 7
(This recognition unit 7 is used for data recognition only when an image is input.) To the data editing unit 9. The output of the data reader unit 6 is also sent to the display buffer 9.

The data editing unit 8 adjusts the format of the data input from the data reader unit 6, and the data having this format is sent to the data processing RAM 5. The data processing RAM 5 is used to process various input data. The data processing RAM 5 includes a display buffer 9, a flag data processing unit 10,
It is connected to the comparison / determination unit 11, the data storage unit 14, and the flag comment storage unit 15.

The data storage unit 14 stores the names, addresses, company names, etc. written on business cards and postcards received in the past as registered data. Further, the data storage unit 14 has an area for storing registration frequency data of the same data, an area for storing item flag data, and the like. Further, the flag comment storage unit 15 stores registered comment data. And these storage unit 1
Address data is given to 4 and 15 from the storage unit address counter 13.

When the item setting key in the key input unit 1 is operated, the comparison item control unit 12 receives the operation command and the item data at this time from the control unit 3, and sends the item data to the comparison determination unit 11. There is. The comparison / determination unit 11 compares the data stored in the data processing RAM 5 with the registered data sequentially called from the data registration unit 14 and when the comparison item control unit 12 provides the item data, the item data For only the above, the same data is searched by comparing with the already registered data sequentially called from the data storage unit 14. Then, when the same data is found, a coincidence output is given to the sound output unit 16 and the display unit 17. At this time, if registration is canceled due to coincidence output, the number of registrations of the same data in the data storage unit 14 is incremented and this data is returned to the data storage unit 14. Further, when the comparison / judgment unit 11 finds a different portion in the comparison of the item data, it gives this data to the inversion signal generation unit 18. Then, the output of the inverted signal generator 18 is sent to the display buffer 9.

The output of the display buffer 9 is sent to the display unit 17. The display unit 17 has a data display unit 171 and a mark symbol notification unit 172, displays the contents of the display buffer 9 on the data display unit 171, and displays the coincidence output of the comparison / determination unit 11 on the mark symbol notification unit 172. It is like this.

19 is an execution pointer, and this pointer 19 is the key input unit 1
When the [EXE] key is pressed at, the contents of the input type buffer 4 are sequentially read out and the control section 3 is made to judge whether the code of the [F] key is entered. The flag data processing unit 10 processes flag data, and when data is registered in the data storage unit 14 in a state of having flag data,
The flag data is added to the data at this time. Further, in the case of data registration cancellation, if there is flag data, this is stored up to a certain number. Further, if there is a comment sentence together with the flag data, this is also sent to the flag comment storage unit 15.

Next, the operation of such an embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart.

First, the case of data input operation will be described with reference to FIG. Now, press the [R] key in the key input section 1. Then, this key input is given to the key determination unit 2 and the content thereof is determined. In this case, the execution key is determined and an execution key signal is given to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 receives this signal and issues an operation command to each circuit. As a result, the data reader unit 6 waits for data input from a business card, postcard, etc., and enters the state of step A1 in FIG. In this case, if OCR is used as the data reader unit 6, in step A1, the contents of the business card or postcard,
In other words, data is input by reading the name, address, company name, etc. written on them in an image.

With this data input, the process proceeds to step A2. In step A2, the data input to the data reader section 6 is given to the recognition section 3, and after being recognized here, given to the data editing section 8. Then, the format of the data is adjusted by the data editing unit 8 and sent to the data processing RAM 5 for writing. In this case, the data written in the data processing RAM 5 is sent to the display buffer 9 and the data display section of the display section 17 is displayed.
It is displayed in 171.

Then go to step A3. In step A3, the comparison / determination unit 11 compares the contents of the data processing RAM 5 with the data in the data storage unit 14. In this case, the data storage
The data of the first address is read from the address data from the storage unit address counter 14, and this is given to the comparison and determination unit 11.

In this state, the process proceeds to step A4, and the comparison / determination unit 11 determines whether or not the same data is received. If there is no identical data and it is NO, the process proceeds to step A5, where the data storage unit 14
It is determined whether or not there is data remaining. Then, assuming that the data remains, the process proceeds to step A6. In step A6, a control signal is given from the control unit 3 to the storage address counter 13 and the content of the counter is counted up. As a result, the data storage unit 14 reads the data of the next address according to the address data of the storage unit address counter 13 at this time. Then, returning to step A3, the comparison and judgment section 11 again compares the contents with the contents of the data processing RAM 5.

Similarly, if the same data is not found, the operations of steps A3 to A6 are repeated to compare the data.

In this state, if it is determined in step A5 that no data remains in the data storage unit 14,
Continue to A7.

In this step A7, assuming that there is nothing already registered in the data storage unit 14, the data read in the data processing RAM 5 is registered in a new address of the data storage unit 14.

On the other hand, in step A4, the same data was found and YE
If S, proceed to step A8. In this step A8, the coincidence output is generated from the comparison / decision section 11, and this is sent to the sound emitting section 16 and the mark symbol warning section 172 of the display section 17. As a result, a sound such as a buzzer is emitted by the sound emitting unit 16 and a mark symbol is displayed on the display unit 17 to notify that effect. In this state, the process proceeds to step A9. In step A9, it is determined whether or not the registration key has been input by the key input unit 1. Then, even though it is informed that the same data is present, if there is a registration key input, that is, if YES, the process proceeds to step A7, and the data at this time is transferred to another address of the data storage unit 14 by another person. Registered as. If there is no registration key input and the answer is NO, the process proceeds to step A10. In this step A10, it is determined whether or not the CANCEL key has been input in the key input unit 1. Then, if such a key is input, the data in the data processing RAM 5 is canceled, the registration is stopped, and the display unit
The notification in 17 and the sound output unit 16 is also stopped, and the original state is restored. If the CANCEL key is not input, the process returns to step A9, and the operations of steps A9 and A10 are repeated until one of the keys is operated. In this case, if such a state continues for a certain period of time, it may be automatically canceled.

Next, the case of item selection will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, it is assumed that each data described in the business card or the postcard is registered in the data storage unit 14 as described above. In this state, the item data is set from the key input unit 1 using the item setting keys such as the [name] key, [address] key, and [company name] key. At this time, the item setting keys may be plural or may be single. This key input is given to the judgment unit 2, the contents are judged here, and then sent to the control unit 3, and further inputted to the comparison item control unit 12.

Next, press the [R] key on the key input unit 1. Then
In steps B1 and B2, after waiting for data input as in steps A1 and A2 described in FIG. 2, when data is input from the data reader unit 6, this data is sent to the data processing RAM 5 and written.

Then, the process proceeds to step B3. In this step B3, the item data of the comparison item control unit 12 is sent to the comparison determination unit 11. Then, from this state, the process proceeds to step B4. In step B4, the comparison and determination unit 11 compares the contents of the data processing RAM 5 with the data in the data storage unit 14,
In this case, only the item data fetched from the comparison item control unit 12 is compared. Further, at this time, the data of the first address is read from the data storage unit 14 by the address data from the storage unit address counter 13, and this is given to the comparison and determination unit 11.

In this state, the process proceeds to step B5, and the comparison / determination unit 11 determines whether the same data is received. If there is no identical data, the process proceeds to step B6, where the data storage unit 14
It is determined whether or not there is data remaining. Then, if the data remains, the process proceeds to step B7. In step B7, a control signal is given from the control section 3 to the storage section address counter 13, and the content of the counter is counted up. As a result, the data storage unit 14 reads the data of the next address according to the address data of the storage unit address counter 13 at this time. Then, returning to step B4, the comparison and judgment section 11 compares again with the contents of the data processing RAM 5.

Similarly, if the same data is not found, the operations of steps B4 to B7 are repeated to compare the data.

In this state, if it is determined in step B6 that no data remains in the data storage unit 14,
Go to B8.

In step B8, the data read in the data processing RAM 5 is registered at a new address in the data storage unit 14 on the assumption that there is nothing already registered in the data storage unit 14.

On the other hand, if the same data is found in the set item data in step B5, the process proceeds to step B9. In this step B9, the coincidence output is generated from the comparison / determination unit 11,
This is the mark symbol warning part of the sound part 16 and the display part 17.
Sent to 172. As a result, a sound such as a buzzer is emitted by the sound emitting unit 16 and a mark symbol is displayed on the display unit 17 to notify that effect. In this state, the process proceeds to step B10. In step B10, it is determined whether or not the comparison in the comparison / determination unit 11 is the same except for the item data. And now, if all the data is judged to be the same,
Go to step B11. In step B11, it is determined whether or not the registration key has been input by the key input unit 1. And
If the registration key is pressed even though it is informed that the same data is present, the process proceeds to step B8, and the data at this time is registered as a different person in the new address of the data storage unit 14. If there is no registration key input,
Go to step B12. In step B12, it is determined whether or not the CANCEL key has been input in the key input unit 1. Then, if such a key input is present, the process proceeds to step B13, and the comparison and determination section 11 determines whether or not there is another identical data, and if there is another identical data, the step is performed again.
Return to B9. On the other hand, if there is no identical data, RA for data processing
The data of M5 is canceled and the registration is stopped, the notification on the display unit 17 and the sound output unit 16 is also stopped, and the original state is restored. If there is no CANCEL key input in step B12, the process returns to step B11 and the operations of steps B11 and B12 are repeated until one of the keys is operated. Also in this case, if such a state continues for a certain period of time, it may be automatically canceled.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step B10 that the items other than the item data are different, the process proceeds to step B14. In step B14, if the comparison / determination unit 11 finds a difference in the item data, the data is sent to the inverted signal generation unit 18. Then, the inversion signal creating section 18 creates a signal for inverting the data in the display buffer 9 corresponding to different item data, and sends it to the display buffer 9. In this case, the method for determining the position in the display buffer 9 is limited when the data is sent from the data processing RAM 5 to the display buffer 9. It should be linked with the address.

By doing so, in step B15, the display unit 1
In the 7 data display area, different item data points are displayed in reverse. In this case, a specific example of such reverse display is shown in FIG. In the figure, (a) is the already registered data, and the name, company name, address, etc. are assumed to be registered. In this state, the name is input as the selection item data. Next, it is assumed that the data shown in (b) is input.
Then, the item data selected from the data shown in FIG. However, in this case, since the item data of the address is different, the display of the display section 17 is reversed as shown in (c). in this case,
The display is not limited to the reverse display, and may be displayed in blinking.

Then, it progresses to step B11. This allows
The same operation as described above can be obtained. In addition, in such an item selection, when some data having different data are taken out as described above, if there is an update key in the key input unit 1, if the key in step B16 is pressed after step B11, After proceeding to step B17 where the previous data in the data storage unit 14 is erased, proceeding to step B8 where new data is re-registered.

Next, the storage of the number of coincidences will be described with reference to FIG.

Also in this case, first, the [R] key is pressed in the key input unit 1. Then, in steps C1 and C2, after waiting for data input as in steps A1 and A2 described in FIG. 2, when there is data input from the data reader unit 6, this data is sent to the data processing RAM 5 and written. Be done. Step from this state
After C3, the input data is compared with the already registered data as shown up to step C10. If there is no identical data now or if the registration key is pressed, it is registered as new data in the data storage unit 14. If the same data is present, a coincidence output is generated from the comparison / decision unit 11, and this is the sound output unit 16 and the mark symbol notification unit 172 of the display unit 17.
Then, a beep sound such as a buzzer is emitted at the sound emitting unit 16 and a mark symbol is displayed on the display unit 17 to notify that effect, and then the CANCEL key input unit 1 is operated.
Although the key is pressed, these operations are the same as the steps A3 to A10 described in FIG. 2, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. Then, in this step C10, C
If the ANCEL key is pressed, the process proceeds to step C11. In this step C11, in the comparison / determination unit 15, the data storage unit 1
The registration count data corresponding to the same registered data as the cancellation data in 4 is read. Then, the comparison / decision unit 11 counts up the data content by 1, and the data is returned to the data storage unit 14. After that, the data in the data processing RAM 5 is canceled, the registration is stopped, the notifications in the display unit 17 and the sound emitting unit 16 are also stopped, and the original state is restored.

Therefore, although not shown, if desired data is subsequently retrieved and read out and displayed on the display unit 17, if the count data is added to the read data at this time, this count data is also displayed on the display unit 17. Will be.

Next, a case where a data search is performed using the thus registered frequency data will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the key input unit 1 is used to input a numerical value indicating the number of registrations with a numerical key or the like, and at the same time, the S key and the EXE key are successively input. For example, enter "0""4""S""EXE". Then, these key inputs are given to the key judgment unit 2 and the contents thereof are judged. In this case, the execution key is determined and an execution key signal is given to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 receives this signal and issues an operation command to each circuit. As a result, the state of step D1 is reached. In this step D1,
The output of the key determination unit 2 is given to the control unit 3 and the data processing RAM 5 via the input buffer 4. Then, the control unit 3 determines whether or not the sentence is the S key. If NO, the process proceeds to another process, and if YES, the process proceeds to step D2. In step D2, it is further determined whether or not there is numerical data before S key input. If NO, error processing is performed, and if YES, the process proceeds to step D3. In this step D3, the number-of-times data n stored in the data processing RAM 5 is read out and stored in the register of the comparison and judgment section 11.

Then, the process proceeds to step D4. In this step D4, the comparison / determination unit 11 compares the number data n (= 4) in the register with the number data N read from the data storage unit 14. In this case, the data storage unit 14 reads the number data of the first address from the address data from the storage unit address counter 13 and supplies it to the comparison and determination unit 11. Then, in step D5, it is determined whether N ≧ n.

In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step D6. In step D6, a control signal is given from the control unit 3 to the storage unit address counter 13, and the content of the counter is counted up. As a result, the data storage unit 14
The data of the next address is read by the address data of the address counter 13 at this time. And step D
Returning to 4 and D5, N ≧ n is judged again. Thereafter, the operations of steps D4 to D6 are repeated in the same manner.

In this state, if the condition of N ≧ n is satisfied in step D5, that is, if some condition satisfies N ≧ 4,
Proceed to step D7. In step D7, the data corresponding to the count data is displayed on the data display unit 171 of the display unit 17. This specific example is shown in FIG. That is, in this case, the registration data, that is, the general item data, and the count data “4” are displayed.

Then, it proceeds to step D8. Then, if there is an S key input from the key input unit 1 again in step D8, the step
Continue to D9. In step D9, it is determined whether or not data remains in the data storage unit 14. If no data remains, the process is terminated, and if data remains, the process returns to step D6, and the storage unit address counter 13 is counted up. As a result, the data at the next address is read out from the data storage unit 14, and again at steps D4 and D5, N ≧
n is determined, and subsequently, other data satisfying the condition at this time is taken out.

Next, the case of setting the matter flag will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, enter the numerical value representing the item flag in the key input section 1 using the numerical keys, etc.
Enter the key continuously. For example, "0""1""F""EX
Enter "E". In this case, for example, "0""1""F" 6
0 Nen Nengajou "EXE" or "0""2"
"F" XX Sankouenkai "EXE" may have a comment sentence between F key input and EXE key input.

These key inputs are given to the key judgment unit 2, and after being judged here, inputted to the input type buffer 4. In this case, since the EXE key is input, the content of the input formula buffer 4 is sequentially read by the execution pointer 19. In this state, the control unit 3 determines in step E1 whether the F key code is included, that is, whether the F key command is issued. Now no
If so, the process proceeds to another process, but in this case, the determination is YES, so the process proceeds to step E2, and subsequently it is determined whether or not there is numerical data before the F data. Then, if YES is determined here, the process proceeds to step E3. In this step E3, the numerical data is sent to the flag data processing unit 10 and substituted there. Then, it progresses to step E4. At step E4, it is judged whether there is data, that is, comment data, between the F data and the EXE data. Then, if NO, the process ends. If YES, the process proceeds to step E5. In this step E5, the comment data in the input-type buffer 4 is transferred to the flag comment storage unit 15 through the flag data processing unit 10 and stored therein in combination with the numerical data at this time. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step E2 as to whether there is numerical data before the F data, the process proceeds to step E6. In this step E6, it is judged whether or not data such as a comment sentence is included before the F data. Then, if YES is determined, error processing is performed. If NO is determined, the process proceeds to step E7, where the numerical data of the flag data processing unit 10 is cleared.

Next, the case of reading and registering the data after the flag is set will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this case, first
Press the "R" key in the key input section 1. Then step
In F1 and F2, when data is input from the data reader unit 6 after waiting for data as in steps A1 and A2 described in FIG. 2, this data is sent to the data processing RAM 5 and written. From this state, from step F3, step F10
As shown above, the input data is compared with the already registered data, and if there is no identical data now or if the registration key is pressed, new data is registered in the data storage unit 14, and the same data is Comparison judgment unit
Match output is generated from 11, and this is the sound output section 16 and the display section.
It will be sent to the mark symbol notification unit 172 of 17
A sound such as a buzzer is emitted from the sound part 16 and a mark symbol is displayed on the display part 17 to notify that effect, and then the CANCEL key is pressed in the key input part 1, but these The operation is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 2, so detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

In such a series of operations, when the registration key is input at step F9 and the process proceeds to step F7, when the data is written to a new address in the data storage unit 14 or the CANCEL key is input at step F10. If there is, proceed to step F11. In step F11, it is determined whether or not there is data in the flag data processing unit 10. If NO at this point, the symbol mark on the display unit 17 is erased and the process ends. If YES, the process proceeds to step F12.

In step F12, the flag data from the flag data processing unit 10 is written in the item flag storage area in the data storage unit 14 in association with the registration data. In this case, if there is an input from the CANCEL key in flag F10, it will be ORed to the flag data that has been entered so far,
Flag data is stored up to a certain number. The process is terminated after waiting for this state.

Therefore, although not shown, if desired data is then retrieved and read out and displayed on the display unit 17, if the item flag data is added to the calling data at this time, this flag data is also displayed on the display unit 17. Will be displayed.

Next, a case of performing a data search with the item flags thus registered will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the key input section 1 is used to input a numerical value representing an item flag by using a numerical key or the like, and at the same time, the F key and the S key are successively input. For example, "0", "1", "F", "S", or "F" 60 Nen Nengajou "S" is input.
Then, these key inputs are given to the key determination unit 2,
The content is judged. In this case, it is judged as the execution key,
The execution key signal is given to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 receives this signal and issues an operation command to each circuit. As a result, the state of step G1 is reached. In step G1, the output of the key determination unit 2 is given to the control unit 3 and the flag data processing unit 10 via the input-type buffer 4. Then, the control unit 3 determines whether or not the sentence is the S key. If NO, the process proceeds to another process, and if YES, the process proceeds to step G2. In this step G2, it is further determined whether or not there is an F key input before the S key input. If NO, the process moves to another search process. If YES, the process proceeds to step G3.

In step G3, the flag data processing unit 10 determines whether or not there is numerical data before F key input. If YES, then go to step G4. This step G4
Then, the numerical data stored in the flag data processing unit 10 is read and written in the register of the comparison and determination unit 11.

On the other hand, if NO at step G3, the process proceeds to step G5. In this step G5, it is judged whether or not there is data, that is, comment sentence data, between the F key input and the S key input. If NO at this time, error processing is performed, and if YES, the process proceeds to step G6. In step G6, it is determined whether the data determined in step G5 is stored in the flag comment storage unit 15. Then, if NO at this point, error processing is performed, and if YES, the process proceeds to step G7. Then, in this step G7, the numerical data paired with the data of the comment sentence at this time is called, and this is written in the register of the comparison and judgment section 11.

In this way, when the data is written in the register of the comparison / determination unit 11 in step G4 or G7, the process proceeds to step G8. With this flag G8, the comparison / determination unit 11 compares the numerical data in the register with the flag data read from the data storage unit 14. In this case, the data of the first address is read from the data storage unit 14 by the address data from the storage unit address counter 13, and this is given to the comparison and determination unit 11. In this state, it is determined in step G9 whether the data are the same. If NO in this case, the process proceeds to step G10. In step G10, a control signal is given from the control unit 3 to the storage unit address counter 13, and the content of the counter is counted up. As a result, the data storage unit 14 reads the data of the next address according to the address data of the address taunter 13 at this time. Then, returning to steps G8 and G9, it is determined again whether or not there is equal data. Thereafter, the operations of steps G8 to G10 are similarly repeated.

In this state, if equal data is found in step G9, the process proceeds to step G11. In step G11, the flag data corresponding to the numerical data is displayed on the data display unit 171 of the display unit 17. A concrete example of this is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
Shown in the figure. That is, in FIG. 11, the item flag No is symbolically displayed together with general item data. In this case, it is indicated that No flags of 01, 02, 06 ... Are included. Further, in FIG. 12, the data in the flag comment storage unit 15 are sequentially moved to the display buffer 9,
It is displayed as a data list of flags. When a comment is input by the data reader unit 6 by image input or the like, not only the data after identification but also the dot corresponding to 1: 1 may be displayed.

Then, it proceeds to step G12. And this step G12
If there is an S key input from the key input unit 1 again, the process proceeds to step G13. In this step G13, it is judged whether or not data remains in the data storage unit 14. If no data remains, the process is terminated, and if data remains, the process returns to step G10 and the storage unit address counter 13 is counted up. As a result, the data of the next address is read from the data storage unit 14, the data comparison is performed again in steps G8 and G9, and then the other data satisfying the above-mentioned conditions is taken out.

Therefore, according to the information management apparatus configured as described above, when data is input from a business card, a postcard, or the like, as described with reference to the flow chart in FIG. 3, the input data and the data storage unit 14 are used. The data already registered in the above are collated only with respect to preset item data, and if common data is found for such items, it is possible to notify that fact, so it is possible to use preset item data that does not change much in advance. If you choose and use it,
Even if data of a part of other item data is changed, it can be checked in advance as the same data. This means that it is possible to confirm in advance that a change has occurred in some item data of the input data. In other words, for example, when the job title is changed and a business card is received again, this can be surely confirmed. Also, due to such data collation, different item data will be
Since it is highlighted so that it can be distinguished from the matched item data, the changed item data can be checked at a glance. Furthermore, by canceling or re-registering the input data from this state, unnecessary double registration of the same data can be prevented. It will not be output. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of sending several postcards to the same person and to immediately judge the person who has previously received a business card, which gives unnecessary confusion to the user. And effective data management can be realized.

In addition, since it is possible to prevent wasteful use of the area of the data storage unit 14, it is possible to register a large amount of data in a limited storage area.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be carried out by appropriately modifying it without changing the gist.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the same information can be checked in item units, and partial changes in input information can be confirmed in advance.
Moreover, unnecessary double registration of the same information can be prevented, and effective data management including utilization of data retrieved thereafter can be realized. Also, a large amount of data can be registered in the storage unit having a limited capacity.
