Abstract

PURPOSE:To resolve allergy to computer to perform processings efficiently by providing a cartridge where a source program and data are stored and making it possible that data processings are performed normally without a character keyboard. CONSTITUTION:A cartridge 4 consists of a PROM41 where the source program is stored and an electrically erasable EEPROM42 where data for preservation is stored. In normal business processings, data required for data processings is called from the EEPROM42 into an RAM14 by inserting the eartridge 4. Next, contents of the source program in the PROM41 are executed by a CPU11, an ROM13, and the PROM41. Thus since data can be processed without using the character keyboard, which is provided with many keys, in normal data processings, this device is effective for resolving allergy to computer. Further, in various business processings, the processing speed is high, and the cost is low, and the reliability is high, and thus processings are performed efficiently.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is small-scale. The present invention relates to a small data processing device suitable for data processing in management.

Traditionally, the biggest problem when trying to mechanize (computerize) various data processing operations in small-scale business entities is the preconception that combinatorics are difficult, or the so-called computer allergy. be. One of the main causes of this computer allergy is thought to be the presence of character keyboards. In other words,
Generally speaking, office computers and personal computers, which are used for small businesses, are equipped with keyboards arranged with alphabetic and katakana keys, even though they are compact computers. On the other hand, this is because it reminds people of the difficulty of operation and is thought to cause fear.

On the other hand, electronic desktop calculators (commonly known as calculators) can be easily operated using only 10 number keys (commonly known as numeric keys) and a few function keys, making them less likely to be susceptible to computer allergies. ) Some desk-type business data processing devices have appeared, but they have drawbacks such as being unable to process forms adequately because they can only use small-sized print sheets, and being unable to be applied to many types of business due to memory capacity limitations. have.

The present invention provides a compact data processing device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has a numeric keypad F/character keyboard, a cartridge, and a main body as its basic components.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Examples.

Fig. 1 is an external configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the device of the present invention;
The figure is also a circuit configuration diagram, and in the figure, 1 is the main body, 2 is the numeric keyboard, 3 is the character keyboard, and 4 is the cartridge. ROM (read only memory) 13 to accommodate, RAM (random access memory) 14 serving as a work area for data processing, printer circuit 15, printer mechanism section 1, first connection section 1

(3) The numeric keyboard 2 displays the te, i on the liquid crystal display section 21.0 to 9.
key part 22 including keys and several function keys
It is equipped with

The character keyboard 3 includes a key part (commonly known as JI8 keys) 31 including a large number of character keys such as alphabet and katakana keys, and several function keys.

The cartridge 4 includes a programmable ROM (commonly called FROM) 41 in which a source pregram is stored, and an electrically erasable programmable program I in which storage crucible data is stored.
It is equipped with OM (commonly known as B Tobi puoii) 42.

A numeric keyboard 2 is connected to the first connection part 16, a character keyboard 3 is connected to the second connection part 17, and a numeric keyboard 3 is connected to the second connection part 17.
The cartridge 4 is inserted into the connection part 18! connected. 4 shows the cartridge when inserted.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a code table or code book, in which product names, person names, store names, company names, etc., and corresponding codes are written.

(4) Reference numeral 6 denotes a storage plate on which the code table 5 is placed and stored at the bottom of the main body 1, and 7 is a trail of the storage plate 6, which is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1. 8 indicates the □ paper for printing, and 9 indicates the rubber feet.

When using the apparatus of the present invention, first, when the cartridge 4 is inserted, data necessary for data processing is loaded from the 8P RO'M 42 into the RAM 14. After that, a p wl
l, ROM13, F ROM41fl working together, F
The contents of the source program in the ROM 41 are executed, and the liquid crystal display section 21 displays various messages necessary for operation, data keyed in from the numeric keypad section 22, and the like.

Necessary □ output data is outputted to the printer circuit 8 from the printer mechanism section 15'.

When a series of operations is completed, the data necessary for the next process is written from the formula AM41 to the 11PROM42, and finally the cartridge 4 is removed.

In daily data processing, by referring to code table 5, users can key in all product names, person names, company names, etc. using the corresponding numerical codes, and therefore the number of keys can be reduced. Numeric keyboard 2 with fewer keys without the need to connect Bonido 3 with many character keys
It can be operated by using □. `` ゛□ Of course, when changing the source program, you can key in J alpha paste → □ or katakana characters. If necessary, you can connect the character keyboard 6 and use it □.

When executing another task i, simply insert the cartridge 4 containing the data into the gate connector 18 and operate it using another source product gate 1 □.Similarly, many types of tasks can be executed. be.

The printer mechanism section '1ff can occupy most of the casing of the main body section 1, and a relatively large size can be formed. ′ □ As is clear from the above explanation, the data processing device of the present invention allows users to process data without using a character keyboard with many keys during normal data processing, so it is easy for users to avoid computer allergies. It is very effective in resolving the problem of computer i (6), and in particular, the introduction of computer i for various operations in small business entities is easy to accept without any reluctance.

Moreover, despite its compact configuration, the source program and necessary data are stored in separate cartridges for each job, making it possible not only to execute multiple types of jobs, but also to make the printer section Since the size can be increased, various types of forms can be printed out relatively freely.

Furthermore, since mechanical means such as floppy disks and tape cassettes are not used as memory means, it has many advantages such as high processing speed, low cost, and high reliability.
