In the figure, 11 is a date information input area, 12 is a time information input area, 13 is a handwritten schedule information input area, 21 is a 7-ohm date information display, 22 is a time information display form, and 23 is a handwritten schedule information display form. It should be noted that the size, position, etc. of each area in the drawings is an example for explanation and does not define the present invention.

The planar coordinate input device 1 will be explained.

The planar coordinate input device 1 is a coordinate input device having three information input areas: a date information input area 11, a time information input area 12, and a handwritten schedule information input area 13.

The date information input area 11 is an area for inputting information corresponding to a scheduled or scheduled date, that is, year, month, and day, and the control device 4 converts the input coordinate data into date information. When inputting a date, it is also possible to omit information corresponding to the year or month if it is obvious.

The time information input area 12 is an area for inputting the time to be scheduled or information corresponding to the time. A time scale is provided in the time information input area 12, and the time can be input by pointing to the scale or along the scale. The time is entered by the length of the handwritten line. The input coordinate data is converted into time information by the control device 4.

The handwritten schedule information input area 13 is an area for inputting schedule details by hand. The correspondence between the input coordinate data and handwritten schedule information is determined by the control device 4.

This is a display device that displays date information, time information, and handwritten schedule information superimposed on each corresponding form.

The date information display form 21 is an area that simply displays the date, that is, the year, month, and day.

The time information display form 22 is an area for displaying scheduled time or information corresponding to the time. A time scale is provided within the time information display 7 ohm 22, and the time is displayed by displaying points on the scale, or the time is displayed on the scale. This is an area for displaying time using lines along the . The time information to be displayed uses information input from the planar coordinate input device 1 or information stored in the small storage device 3.

The handwritten schedule information display form 23 is an area for displaying schedule contents in the form of a handwritten image.
The handwritten schedule information to be displayed is an area for displaying coordinate data constituting the information in a coordinate manner within the form. The handwritten schedule information to be displayed uses information input from the planar coordinate input device 1 or information stored in the small storage device 3.

The small storage device 3 will be explained.

The small storage device 3 is a device that stores date information, time information, and handwritten schedule information.

Date information and time information are stored in code, and handwritten schedule information is stored in the form of a sequence of coordinate points.

The time information and the handwritten schedule information are stored in correspondence so that the date information serves as a search key.

The control device 4 will be explained.

The control device 4 is a device that controls the input of each piece of information from the planar coordinate input device 1, the display of each piece of information on the planar display device 2, and the storage of each piece of information in the small storage device 3.

Next, a case will be described in which the coordinate data input from the planar coordinate input device 1 belongs to the date information input area 11. In this case, there are 4 control devices and 21 date information display forms.
, transfers the time information display form 22 and handwritten schedule information display form 23 to the flat display device 2 and requests their display. The coordinate data is made to correspond to a numerical value from 0 to 9 depending on the value, and is converted into date information. Furthermore, if at least one piece of time information and handwritten schedule information corresponding to the date information is stored in the small storage device 3, the information is read out and transferred to the flat display device 2 together with the date information, and Request overlay display on the form.

Next, a case will be described in which the coordinate data input from the planar coordinate input device 1 belongs to the time information input area 12. In this case, the control device 4 corresponds to the time by pointing to a time scale provided in the time information input area 12, or by the length of a handwritten line along the scale. Therefore, the control device 4 converts the coordinate data into time and displays it on the flat display device 20.
The flat display device 2 is requested to display the time by displaying a point on the scale in the time information display form or by displaying a line along the scale.

Next, a case will be described in which the coordinate data input from the planar coordinate input device 1 belongs to the handwritten schedule information input area 13. In this case, the control device 4 requests that the coordinate data be transferred as handwritten schedule information to the flat display device 2 and displayed in the handwritten schedule display form 23 in correspondence with the coordinates. Basically, the sequence of coordinate points input into the handwritten schedule information input area 13 is input one by one.
The flat display device 2 is requested to display the information in the hand IEe schedule information display form 23, but the control device 4 performs coordinate system, size conversion, etc.

Finally, storage of each piece of information into the small storage device 3 will be explained. When the coordinate data input from the flat coordinate input device 1 belongs to the date input area 11, the time information and handwritten schedule information currently displayed on the flat display device 2 are changed to the currently displayed date information. A request is made to the small storage device 3 to transfer and store the data in association with each other.
