Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to electronic equipment, and more specifically, to an electronic equipment that can output historical dates, events, and the like.

(11) Prior Art Hitherto, electronic devices have been known that are configured to output Western calendar years and items corresponding thereto as electronic history encyclopedias. When studying history in general, and Japanese history in particular, one often memorizes year names and events, but it is difficult to know which period in the name of the Japanese period, such as the Muromachi period or the Kamakura period. The calculation of is extremely troublesome. Even the electronic history encyclopedia mentioned above cannot display this kind of information.

GiD Purpose The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic device configured to be able to learn not only the year names but also the names of Japanese eras.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention employs a structure that includes an output means for storing the year name, the corresponding matter, and the era name, and outputting the corresponding matter and era name.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a control circuit illustrating an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, Kl is a numerical input key.
'' numbers are used to enter the year.

K2 indicates a search key, which is used to search for era names and matters corresponding to the Western calendar year entered by pressing 1 on the numerical key.

Each key Kl, K2 is a central processing unit CPU.
The CPU is connected to the CPU and inputs data according to the press signals of each key. Based on the input data, the CPU uses a well-known ROM (read-only memory) method to derive the character information etc. in the fixed storage device M1 based on the input data of each key, performs various signal processing, and displays the display device DIS. A display drive signal is applied to the display to display characters, marks, etc.

In addition, the CPU has a control section C0NT in the 1-step LSI.
, read-only memory ROM, random access memory RAM, etc., and controls the entire system using a well-known ROM method.

On the other hand, the display device DIS is a horizontal dot matrix liquid crystal display that displays numbers and characters with 8 x 8 dots, and can display 10 characters per line in 14 rows.The first row displays the year. The name of the era can be displayed in the second row, and the events can be displayed in the third and fourth rows.

By the way, the contents of the fixed storage device M1 are structured as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the symbol Mll indicates the address M12.
The Western calendar is stored in the Western calendar year storage section.

Furthermore, Ml3 is a period name memory section in which names of periods in Japanese history such as the Nara period and the Heian period are memorized.

Ml4 is a memory section that stores the events that occurred in that era. In addition, in this embodiment, the address 000
It is assumed that 1024 items from 1 to 1024 are stored.

Next, regarding the operation of this embodiment configured as above,
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step IA, the year of the year you want to know is input by pressing 1 on the numerical key.The CPU memorizes the numerical value input in step IB and proceeds to step 1C, where the input numerical value is Display device DIS
, and waits for the next key to be pressed.

When a key is pressed here, the process proceeds to step ID, where it is determined whether the pressed key is 1 for the switch key or 2 for the search key, and if it is a numeric key, the process proceeds to step IB. return. This corresponds to inputting the second and subsequent digits of the Western calendar year.

If it is determined that the search key has been pressed, the process proceeds to step IE, where the fixed storage device is stored.

The data of the year ro 001J number value, which is the start of Ml, is called up, and the process proceeds to step IF, where the input data stored in step 1B is compared with the data of the year storage M12.

If it is determined that these data match, the process proceeds to step IG, where the era name data at the same address in the fixed storage device M1 is retrieved from the matter storage unit M14, and the process proceeds to step IH, where the era name data and the era name data at the same address are retrieved from the fixed storage device M1. Display name DI
The information is displayed on the second row of S, and the information is displayed on the third and fourth rows of the display DIS.
Display kana in each column. With these displays, three items can be easily confirmed: the Western calendar year, the name of the corresponding Japanese era, and the events that occurred during this Western calendar year.

By the way, in step IF, the address for year comparison is called, and the process proceeds to step 2B, where it is compared whether the called address is after the final address r1024J in the fixed storage device, and if it is after this, data is recorded. Therefore, the process goes to step 2C, and the data matching the year number is not stored, and the display device DIS
A message to that effect will be displayed.

Also, in step 2B, if the address is within II 024J, return to step 1F, repeat the above-mentioned operation,
Compare the Western calendar years.

Konoyo uses a structure that memorizes Japanese era names and events that correspond to Western calendar years, so when you enter a Western calendar year, search for the corresponding items, and display the output, you can use the Japanese era names. It also outputs and displays, so you can learn to associate Western calendar years with period names unique to Japan.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, a structure was explained in which the name of the period is displayed in the form of a large classification such as the Heian period or the Kamakura period, but it is also possible to display the name of the period in the form of a small classification (era name). It is clear that these may be used in combination.

In addition, if you use an era name, by memorizing the name of the era, for example, "1866 AD = Keio 2nd year", you can find the era name that corresponds to the Western calendar year name. More detailed information will be provided in 2020.

(v) Effects As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, a storage means for storing a Western calendar year, an item corresponding to the Western calendar year, and an era name, and a search for items corresponding to the Western calendar are provided. Since it has a structure that includes a search means and an output means that immediately outputs events and era names corresponding to the Western calendar by the operation of this search means, it is possible to output historical year names and corresponding historical matters, as well as Japanese An electronic device that can also learn the names of specific eras can be obtained.
