1 ”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 16 without growing (steps B7 → B10).

On the other hand, in step B6, "N
O ", that is, when it is determined that the selection amounts of the respective growth elements (water, light, fertilizer) are not the same," YES "in step B12, that is, for each of the growth elements (water, light, fertilizer) If the selection amount is abundant (1) and large amount (4), and it is judged that the balance is very poor,
In step 13, the current plant address M is "0"
Is determined, and if “M = 0” is determined,
The plant character (see FIG. 3) corresponding to the first growth degree “M = 0” is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 16 without growing as it is (step B12 → B13 → B10).

In step B12, "YE
S ”, that is, as the selection amount of each growth element (water, light, fertilizer), there is a mixture of no quantity (1) and a large quantity (4),
If it is determined that the balance is very poor, step B
13, “NO”, that is, the current plant address M
Is determined to be in the range of “1” (second growth degree) to “5” (sixth growth degree), the plant address M is set to “5” (sixth growth degree), The withered plant character in the state of final growth (see FIG. 3) is replaced and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 16 (steps B12 → B13 → B).

Further, in step B12, "N
O ”, that is, as the selection amount of each growth element (water, light, fertilizer), no amount (1) and large amount (4) are mixed,
If it is determined that the state is not extremely poor, the plant address M is not updated, and the plant character having the same growth degree as the plant character displayed in the step B1 does not grow as it is. 16
(Step B12 → B10).

Therefore, according to the first electronic organizer having the above configuration, one of the plant characters having the first to sixth growth degrees “M = 0 to 5” stored in the ROM 13 in advance is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 1.
6, the characters of the plant growth elements (water, light, fertilizer) stored in the ROM 13 are displayed,
When the respective amounts are designated and selected by the key input unit 12, each element amount corresponding to the selected amount is set in the water amount register 14c, the light amount register 14d, and the fertilizer amount register 14e in the RAM 14, and the amounts are selected. When each growth element is given to a plant character having a certain growth degree displayed in advance, a plant character corresponding to a new growth degree is selected from the ROM 13 and displayed, so that the growth process of the plant is displayed as an image. Not only can you see it, but how much it actually grows under given conditions,

On the other hand, "1" is set in the mode flag register N in the RAM 24, and the type of the displayed plant character set in the type register T and the displayed plant address set in the plant address register M are set. In the image display mode in which the corresponding plant character is read from the ROM 23 and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 26, when the "select" key 22e in the key input unit 22 is operated, the plant selection in the image display mode process in FIG. Processing is started.

That is, if "0" is set in the type register T of the RAM 24, that is, if the current type of the displayed plant character is set to "tulip", "0" is set in the type register T. "1" is set, and the type of the displayed plant character is switched and set to "wheat" (steps C1, C2, C3).

When "1" is set in the type register T of the RAM 24 when the "select" key 22e is operated, that is, the type of the currently displayed plant character is set to "wheat". Is set to "0" in the type register T, and the type of the displayed plant character is switched to "tulip" (step C).
1 → C2 → C4).

In any case where the type of the displayed plant character is switched from "tulip" to "wheat" or from "wheat" to "tulip", the displayed plant address M is the initial growth. Is set to "1" (step C5).

Therefore, according to the second electronic organizer having the above configuration, one of the plant characters having the first to twenty-first growth degrees “M = 1 to 21” stored in the ROM 23 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 26. In this state, the clock data in the RAM 24 is updated by the clock pulse signal from the timer 21a,
Every time one hour is judged based on this timekeeping data,
The ambient environmental temperature and the illuminance are detected by the temperature sensor 28 and the illuminance sensor 29, and are sequentially accumulated and stored in the temperature accumulation register 24d and the illuminance accumulation register 24e, and the accumulated values of the temperature and the illuminance when 24 hours have elapsed are respectively constant. The plant character corresponding to the new growth degree is selected and displayed from the ROM 23 in accordance with whether or not it is equal to or more than the value and the growth degree of the currently displayed plant character. In addition to being able to see, it can be grown and displayed under realistic environmental conditions, such as how it grows in response to actual environmental changes, and can respond to environmental changes without raising real plants, for example It is easy to practice plant growth.

In the second embodiment, a plant character having a new growth degree is selected from the ROM 23 according to the temperature and the illuminance cumulative value every 24 hours. However, the time interval for selecting this growth degree is arbitrary. May be set.

Further, in the second embodiment, the temperature sensor 28 and the illuminance sensor 29 are used as the sensors for detecting the surrounding environment of the plant, but other than these two sensors,
By using a humidity sensor or the like together, the plant character can be grown and displayed under more realistic environmental conditions.

Further, according to the combination of the selection state of the plant growth elements (water, light, fertilizer) in the first embodiment and the environment measurement state in the second embodiment, the degree of growth of the displayed plant character is determined. With this configuration, the plant character can be grown and displayed with a more realistic feeling. In each of the above embodiments, the growth process of a plant is displayed. However, the growth process of an animal such as a dog or a cat may be displayed in a similar manner.
