JPS59100937A - Exchanging method for memory data of memory - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve both workability and accuracy of a memory by designating at least two desired addresses in the memory with operation of a prescribed key and then exchanging mutually the desired data which are stored in said two addresses. CONSTITUTION:For instance, the data in an address 001 within a preset memory region of a memory M is transferred to another address 031 within a register memory region. In such a case, a changeover switch (d) of an input operation part A is set at a setting mode and a key X of a command key (c) is pushed. Then a product name number is registered with a register key (b), and a preset key a1 is finally pushed after push of a key # of the key (c). In such a way, the data are exchanged mutually between both addresses. Then the key a1 is pushed after switching the switch (d) to a read-out mode to read out the data which is stored in the address 031. In addition, the exchange of data is possible within an optional address of a preset memory or a register memory.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a storage device, such as an electronic scale, a label printer, etc., in which necessary data regarding a product is input and stored by keystroke operation, and more specifically, the input operation section includes preset keys, number keys (numeric keys), etc. ) and a command key (function key), the present invention relates to an improvement in a storage device that inputs and stores required data regarding a product in a predetermined location of a memory via a central processing unit (CPU) by pressing these keys.

Conventionally, in weighing label printers, a product name number is set for each product name, and the number is entered using the numeric keys to specify a predetermined address in the memory, and necessary data such as the unit price and code number of the product is stored in this address. In addition, for frequently used product names, a reset key with the product name written thereon is prepared, and this key is used to specify the location of the memory.

When the printer is in use, the product name number is entered using the numeric keys, or by pressing the reset key, the required data for the corresponding product name is read from the memory to the central processing unit.

In the above printer, a large number of preset keys are arranged on the input operation section, but for example, the preset keys for products that often appear on sale days are placed in a position where it is easy to press (for example, on the bottom row), or It is desired to make changes such as moving the product name that is often input using the number keys to the reset key, that is, to exchange the required data stored in addresses in the memory.

However, when exchanging data in the memory, the necessary data in the address to be exchanged must be erased, and the same operation as when setting the input by operating each key such as the numeric keys would be a time-consuming process. Not only is this necessary, but there is also the risk of erroneous data input due to operational errors.

In order to avoid such problems, the present invention aims to improve the workability and accuracy of the storage device by exchanging the necessary data stored between the addresses to be exchanged by a predetermined key operation. It is something to do.
