Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent duplicated registration and to register much information in a limited storage capacity by comparing input information with the information registered already, informing the result when the content is the same so as to instruct the cancellation of the input information or re-registration. CONSTITUTION:In applying a data by a registered item flag, when a numeral representing the item flag is inputted, the data is compared with the flag data from a data storage section 14 by a comparison judging section 11. When an identical data is found out as a result, a flag data corresponding to a numerical data is displayed on a data display section 171 of a display section 17. That is, each general item data and the number of an item flag are displayed as symbols and a point having a flag is discriminated. Further, a data in a flag comment storage section 15 is moved sequentially in a display buffer 9 and displayed as a data list of the flag. Thus, the undesire duplicated registration of the same data is prevented by cancelling the input data or applying re- registration.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an information management device that can register and manage information written on business cards, postcards, etc., and can search and retrieve this information if necessary.

[Prior Art and its Problems] Recently, there has been a tendency for individuals to increasingly own more and more information, or data, and for example, data banks and entertainment calculators are known as means for managing this data in an organized manner. In other words, this device allows you to input and register your name, telephone number, etc., and then search and retrieve them as needed.

By the way, such calculators will automatically register data with the same name and phone number as separate data even if they are the same. It looks like this. Therefore, if you try to search and retrieve data that has been registered multiple times, the same name and phone number data will be output over and over again, causing confusion and inaccuracies for users. It had drawbacks that made it difficult to use, such as giving off a strange feeling.

Also, storing the same data over and over again wastes a lot of memory space.
There was a drawback that the registration of data for the nine immortals was restricted, and the number of data that could be registered was significantly limited by υ1.

[Object of the invention] This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an information management device that can prevent unnecessary double registration of the same information and can register a large amount of information with a limited storage capacity. The purpose is to

[Key Points of the Invention] The information management device according to the present invention compares the information input from the input means with the information already registered in the storage means, searches for the same content, and if there is the same content, ,
The system is configured so that this notification is notified and an instruction to cancel or re-register the input information can be given after the notification is received.

[71fi example of actual invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the circuit configuration of the entire device. In the figure, 1 is a key input section, and this input section 1 has numeric keys and execution keys as read [R]] key flag [F]]
Key search [S]] Key registration key, Cancel [CANCE]
L] key, execution [EXE] key, and item setting keys such as a [name] key, an [address] key, and a [company name] key.

This key power of the key power unit 1 is given to the key determination unit 2. The key judgment unit 2 judges the contents of the key human power,
When the execution key is input, an execution key signal is given to the control section 3.

Further, the output of this key determination section 2 is sent to an input type buffer 4.

Here, the control section 3 stores various control programs, provides sampling signals to the key human power section 1, and also includes a data processing RAM 5, a data reader section 6, a recognition section 7, a data editing section 8, and a display buffer. 9. Gives operation commands to the flag data processing section 10, comparison/judgment section 11, comparison item control section 12, and storage address counter 13.

The input type buffer 4 temporarily stores the output of the key determination section 2, and also sends the output to the control section 3 and the data processing RAM 5.
, the flag data processing unit 10 and the display buffer 9.

In addition, the data reader section 6 can perform, for example, OCR, etc.
Types of input and identification using images, magnetic stripes, or types that read data directly from barcodes are used. The output of this data reader section 6 is sent to the data editing section 9 via a recognition section 7 (this recognition section 7 is used for data recognition only when input as an image). Further, the output of the data reader section 6 is also sent to the display buffer 9.

The data editing section 8 formats the data input from the data reader section 6, and the formatted data is sent to the data processing RAM 5. The data processing RAM 5 is used to process various input data. The data processing RAM 5 includes a display buffer 9, a flag data processing section 10, a comparison judgment section 11, a data storage section 14,
It is connected to the flag comment storage section 15.

The data storage unit 14 stores names, addresses, company names, etc. written on business cards and postcards received in the past as registered data.

Further, the data storage section 14 has an area for storing Ω recording count data of the same data, an area for storing item flag data, and the like. Further, the flag comment storage section 15 stores registered comment data.

These storage units 14 and 15 are given address data from the storage unit address counter 13.

The comparison item control section 12 is configured such that when the item setting key is operated in the key manual section 1, the control section 3 gives the operation command and the item data at this time, and sends this to the comparison judgment section 11. There is. The comparison/judgment section 11 compares the data stored in the data processing RAM 5 with already registered data that is successively called up by the data registration section 14.When the item data is given from the comparison item control section 12, this Only item data is compared with already registered data sequentially retrieved from the data storage unit 14 to search for the same data. and,
If the same data is found, a matching output is given to the alarm section 16 and display section 17. At this time, if registration is canceled due to a match output, the number of registrations of the same data in the data storage section 14 is counted up, and this data is returned to the data storage section 14. Also,
When the comparison/judgment section 11 finds a difference in the item data, it supplies this data to the inverted signal generation section 18 . The output of the inverted signal generator 18 is then sent to the display buffer 9.

The output of the display buffer 19 is sent to the display section 17.

This display section 17 has a data display section 171 and a mark symbol notification section 172, and displays the contents of the display buffer 9 on the data display section 171, and displays the coincidence output of the comparison judgment section 11 on the mark symbol notification section 172. It looks like this.

One is an execution pointer, and when the [EXE] key is pressed in the key input section 1, this pointer 19 is used to input the input expression buffer 4.
The control section 3 sequentially reads out the contents of the EEE key and determines whether the EEE key code is contained therein. The flag data processing unit 10 processes flag data, and when data is registered in the data storage unit 14 while having flag data, the flag data is added to the current data. Further, in the case of canceling data registration, if there is flag data, a certain number of flag data are stored. Furthermore, if there is a comment text along with the flag data, it is also sent to the flag comment storage section 15.

Next, the operation of such an embodiment will be explained with reference to a flowchart.

First, the case of data input operation will be explained using FIG. 2. Now, press the [R] main key in the key control section 1. Then,
This key input is given to the key determination section 2, and its contents are determined. In this case, it is determined that it is an execution key, and an execution key signal is given to the control section 3. The control section 3 receives this signal and issues operation commands to each circuit. As a result, the data reader section 6 becomes capable of inputting data from business cards, the M layer, etc., and enters the state of step A1 in FIG. 2. In this case, assuming that OCR is used as the data reader section 6, in this step A1, the contents of business cards and postcards, that is, the names, addresses, company names, etc. written on them, are read visually by OCR. Data entry is performed by this.

With this data input, the process advances to step A2.

In this step A2, the data input to the data reader section 6 is given to the recognition section 3, recognized there, and then given to the data editing section 8. Then, the data editing section 8 arranges the data format, and the data processing R
It is sent to AM5 and written. In this case, the data processing RA
The data written to M5 is sent to the display buffer 9 and displayed on the data display section 171 of the display section 17.

Next, proceed to step A3. In this step A3, the comparison/judgment section 11 compares the contents of the data processing RAM 5 with the data in the data storage section 14. In this case, data at the first address is read from the data storage section 14 based on the address data from the storage section address counter 13, and this data is provided to the comparison/judgment section 11.

In this state, the process advances to step A4, and the comparison/determination section 11 determines whether or not there is identical data. If there is no identical data<NO, the process proceeds to step A5, where it is determined whether any data remains in the data storage section 14. If data remains, the process advances to step 86.

In this step 80, a control signal is given from the control section 3 to the storage section address counter 13, and the contents of the counter are counted up. As a result, data at the next address is read out from the data storage section 14 based on the address data of the storage section address counter 13 at this time. Then, the process returns to step Δ3, and the comparison/judgment section 11 compares the data with the contents of the data processing RAM 5 again.

Follow the same procedure below, if you cannot find the same data,
The operations from step A3 to step 80 are repeated to compare data.

In this state, if it is determined in step A5 that no data remains in the data storage section 14, the process proceeds to step Δ7.

In this step A7, the data read into the data processing RAM 5 is registered at a new address in the data storage section 14, assuming that there is no data already registered in the data storage section 14.

On the other hand, in step A4, the same data is found.
If it is ES, proceed to step 1 and step 88.

In this step A8, a match output is generated from the comparison/judgment section 11, and this is sent to the alarm section 16 and the mark/symbol alarm section 172 of the display section 17. As a result, the sound alarm section 16 emits a sound such as a buzzer, and a mark symbol is displayed on the display section 17 to notify the user of this fact. In this state, the process advances to step A9. In this step 80,
The key human power unit 1 determines whether a registered key has been input.

Now, even though it is notified that the same data exists, if the registration key is input, it means YES.
If so, the process advances to step A7, and the data at this time is registered at a new address in the data storage section 14 as a different person.

Also, if the registration key is not input <NO, step A1
Go to 0. In this step A10, it is determined in the key manual section 1 whether there is an input of the CANCEL key.

When the key is now input, the data in the data processing RAM 5 is canceled and the registration is stopped, and the notifications on the display section 17 and the sound alarm section 16 are also stopped, returning to the original state.

Also, if there is no CANCEL key input, step A9
The process returns to step A9 and step A10, and repeats the operations in step A9 and step A10 until either key is operated. In this case, if such a state continues for a certain period of time, it may be automatically canceled.

Next, the case of item selection will be explained using Fig. 3. In this case, it is assumed that each data written on the business card or postcard has been registered in the data storage unit 14 as described above.

In this state, the key personnel section 1 sets item data using item setting keys such as the [name] key, [address] key, and [company name] key.

At this time, there may be a plurality of item setting keys or a single item setting key. This key input is given to the judgment section 2, where the contents are judged, then sent to the control section 3, and further inputted to the comparison item control section 12.

Next, press the [R] main key in the key control unit 1. Then, in steps B1 and B2, steps AI and A described in FIG.
As in 2, when data input is waited, when data is input from the data reader section 6, this data is reversely written into the data processing RAM 5.

Then, proceed to step B3. In this step B3,
The item data of the comparison item control section 12 is sent to the comparison judgment section 11 (0), and from this state the process proceeds to step 84.

In this step B4, the comparison/judgment section 11 compares the contents of the data processing RAM 5 with the data in the data storage section 14, but in this case, only the second data taken in from the comparison item control section 12 is compared. A comparison is made. Also, at this time, the data at the first address is read from the data storage section 14 based on the address data from the storage section address counter 13, and this data is given to the comparison/judgment section 11.

In this state, the process advances to step B5, and the comparison/determination section 11 determines whether or not there is identical data. If it is assumed that the same data does not exist, the process proceeds to step B6, where it is determined whether the data remains in the data storage section 14. and,
If data remains, the process advances to step B7. In this step B7, a control signal is applied from the control section 3 to the memory section address counter 13, and the contents of the counter are incremented by one. As a result, data at the next address is read out from the data storage section 14 based on the address data of the storage section address counter 13 at this time.

Then, the process returns to step B4, and the comparison/judgment section 11 compares the data with the contents of the data processing RAM 5 again.

Follow the same procedure below, if you cannot find the same data,
The operations from step B4 to step B7 are repeated to compare data.

In this state, if it is determined in step B6 that no data remains in the data storage section 14, the process proceeds to step B8.

In this step B8, the data read into the data processing RAM 5 is registered at a new address in the data storage section 14, assuming that there is no data already registered in the data storage section 14.

On the other hand, if the same data is found for the set item data in step B5, the process proceeds to step B9.

In this step B9, a match output is generated from the comparison/judgment section 11, and this is sent to the audible alarm section 16 and the mark/symbol alarm section 172 of the display section 17. As a result, the sound alarm section 16 emits a sound such as a buzzer, and a mark symbol is displayed on the display section 17 to notify the user of this fact. In this state, the process advances to step B10. In this step BIO, it is determined whether or not the comparison by the comparison/judgment unit 11 is the same for all items other than the item data. If it is determined that all data are now the same, the process advances to step 811. In this step B11, it is determined in the key manual section 1 whether a registered key has been input. Even though it has been reported that the same data exists, if the registration key is input, the process proceeds to step B8, and the data at this time is registered as a different person at a new address in the data storage unit 14. . Further, if no registration key is input, the process advances to step 812. In this step B12, the key human power section 1 performs the CAN
It is determined whether there is an input of the CEL key. Then, when the key is inputted, the process proceeds to step 813, where the comparison/judgment section 11 determines whether or not there is any other identical data, and if there is any other identical data, the process returns to step B9 again. . On the other hand, if the same data does not exist, the RAM for data processing
5 is canceled and the registration is stopped, and the notifications on the display section 17 and the sound alarm section 16 are also stopped, returning to the original state. Also, in step B12, CA
If the NCEL key is not input, the process returns to step B11.
The operations of step B11 and step 812 are repeated until one of the keys is operated. In this case as well, if such a state continues for a certain period of time, it may be automatically canceled.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 810 that the data is different except for the item data, the process proceeds to step 814. In this step 814, when a difference in the item data is found in the comparison/judgment section 11, the data is sent to the inverted signal generation section 18. Then, the inversion signal generation section 18 generates a signal for inverting the data in the display buffer 9 corresponding to the different item data, and sends this signal to the display buffer 9. In this case, display back? 9, when sending data from the data processing RAM 5 to the display buffer 9, for example, the name is limited to the number from address number, so it is linked with this address etc. Just leave it there.

By doing so, in step B15, the portions of different item data are displayed in reverse on the data display section of the display section 17. In this case, a specific example of such reverse display is shown in FIG. In the figure, (a> is already registered data such as name, company name, address, etc.).

In this state, enter a name as selection item data. Next, assume that the data shown in (b) is input.

Then, the data shown in (a) is extracted because the selected item data is the same. However, in this case, since the address item data is different, this part is displayed inverted on the display section 17 as shown in (C).

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step B11. This results in
You will get the same behavior as described above. In addition, in such an item selection, if some data with different data is retrieved as described above, if the key manual section 1 has an update key, pressing the key in step 816 after step 811 will cause the update to be updated. The process proceeds to step B17, where the previous data in the data storage section 14 is erased, and then the process proceeds to step B8, where new data is re-registered.

Next, storage of -number of times will be explained using FIG. 5.

In this case as well, first press the [R] main key in the key manual section 1. Then, in steps C1 and C2, data input is performed as in steps A1 and A2 described in FIG. 2, and when data is input from the data reader section 6, this data is sent to the data processing RAM 5 and written. It will be done. From this state, as shown from step C3 to step C10, the input data is compared with the already registered data, and if the same data does not currently exist, or if the registration key is pressed, new data is stored in the data storage unit 14. It is registered as data, and if there is identical data, a matching output is generated from the comparison/judgment section 11, which is sent to the mark/symbol notification section 172 of the alarm section 16 and the display section 17. At the same time, a warning sound such as a buzzer is emitted, and a mark symbol is displayed on the display section 17 to notify that.
Thereafter, the CANCEL key is pressed by the key operator 1, but since these operations are the same as steps A3 to AIO described in FIG. 2, a detailed explanation will be omitted here. Then, at this step CIO, CANCE
If there is an input of the L key, the process advances to step C11. In this step C1l, the comparison/judgment section 15 reads the registration number data corresponding to the same registered data as the cancellation data in the data storage section 14. Then, the data content is incremented by 1 in the comparison/judgment section 11, and the data is returned to the data storage section 14. Thereafter, the data in the data processing RAM 5 is canceled, the registration is stopped, and the notifications on the display section 17 and the sound alarm section 16 are also stopped, and the original state is restored.

Therefore, although not shown, when desired data is subsequently searched, read out, and displayed on the display section 17, if count data is added to the read data at this time, this count data is also displayed on the display section 17. will be done.

Next, a case in which a data search is performed using the number of times data registered in this manner will be explained using FIG. 6. In this case, in the key input unit 1, a numerical value representing the number of registrations is input using the numerical keys, and at the same time, the S key and the EXE key are successively input. For example, IC) J r4J rsJ r
Enter EXEJ. Then, these key inputs are given to the key determination section 2, and the contents thereof are determined. In this case, it is determined that it is an execution key, and an execution key signal is given to the control section 3. The control section 3 receives this signal and issues operation commands to each circuit. This results in the state of step D1.

In this step D1, the output of the key determination section 2 is transmitted to the control section 3 and the data processing RAM 5 via the input buffer 4.
given to. Then, the control unit 3 determines whether it is an S key statement, and if NO, the process moves to other processing, and if YES, the process moves to step D2.

In this step D2, it is further determined whether there is numerical data before the S key is manually pressed, and if No, an error process is performed, and if YES, the process proceeds to Step D3.

In this step D3, the number of times data n stored in the data processing RAM 5 is read out and stored in the register of the comparison/judgment section 11.

Then, the process advances to step D4. In this step D4,
The comparison judgment unit 11 calculates the number of times data n (=4) in the register.
and the number of times data N read out from the data storage section 14 are compared. In this case, the data storage section 14 reads out the number of times data of the first address based on the address data from the storage section address counter 13, and provides this to the comparison/judgment section 11. Then, in step D5, N≧
It is determined whether n or not.

In this case, if this condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step D6. In this step D6, a control signal is applied from the control section 3 to the storage section address counter 13, and the contents of the counter are counted up. As a result, the data of the next address is read out from the data storage section 14 based on the address data of the address counter 13 at this time. Then, the process returns to steps D4 and D5, and it is again determined whether N≧n.

Thereafter, the operations from step D4 to step D6 are repeated in the same manner.

In this state, if the condition N≧n is satisfied in step D5, that is, if there is something that satisfies the condition N22,
Proceed to step D7. In step D7, data corresponding to the number of times data is displayed on the data display section 171 of the display section 17.
will be displayed. A concrete example of this is shown in FIG. That is, in this case, the number of times data "4" is displayed together with the registered data, that is, the general item data.

Next, the process advances to step D8. And this step D8
If the S key is powered again by the key-powered unit 1 at step D9, the process proceeds to step D9. In this step D9, the data storage unit 1
It is determined whether data remains in step 4. If no data remains, the process ends, and if data remains, the process returns to step D6, and the memory address counter 13 is incremented. As a result, the data at the next address is read from the data storage section 14, and again in steps D4 and D5 it is determined whether N≧n, and subsequently other data satisfying the condition at this time is retrieved.

Next, the case of setting the item flag will be explained using FIG. 8. In this case, enter the numerical value representing the item flag using the numerical keys in the key human resource section 1, and at the same time press the F key, EXE
Continue to input keys. For example rOJ rlj 1
Enter -FJ rEXEJ.

In this case, for example, rOJ rlJ rFJ 60nen nengajo fEXEJ or rOJ r2Jr
A comment may be inserted between the F key input and the EXE key input, as in FJ XX San Koraenkai rEXEJ.

These key inputs are given to the key determination section 2, where they are determined and then input into the input buffer 4. In this case, since the EXE key is manually operated, the contents of the input type buffer 4 are sequentially read out using the execution pointer 19. In this state, check if the F key code is entered in step E1.
In other words, the control unit 3 determines whether the command is an F key command. If the answer is No, it will move on to other processing, but in this case, it is YES.
Since the result is S, the process proceeds to step E2, where it is determined whether there is numerical data before the F data. If the determination is YES here, the process proceeds to step E3. In this step E3, the numerical data is sent to the 7-lag data processing section 10 and substituted therein.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step E4. In step E4, it is determined whether there is data, that is, comment data, between the F data and the EXE data. If the answer is No, the process ends immediately. Also, if YES, step E
Proceed to step 5. In this step E5, the comment data in the input type buffer 4 is transferred to the flag comment storage section 15 through the flag data processing section 10, and stored here in combination with the current number 1 direct data. On the other hand, step E
＼O by determining whether there is numerical data before the F data in step 2.
If it is determined that this is the case, the process proceeds to step E6. In this step E6, it is determined whether data such as a comment 1-sentence is included before the F data. And now, YE
If it is determined to be S, error processing is performed. Further, if it is determined to be N.0, the process proceeds to step E7, and this step E7
At , several drop data of the flag data processing section 10 is cleared.

Next, the case of reading and registering data after such flag setting will be described with reference to FIG. In this case as well, first, the rRJ key is pressed on the key operator 1.

Then, in steps F1 and F2, step A1. described in FIG. Similar to A2, when data is inputted from the data reader section 6 after it has data, this data is sent to the data processing RAM 5 and written therein. From this state, as shown from step F3 to step FIO, the input data is compared with the already registered data, and if the same data does not currently exist, or if the registration key is pressed, new data is stored in the data storage unit 14. If the data is registered and there is the same data, a matching output is generated from the proportional determination section 11, which is sent to the alarm section 16 and the mark symbol annunciation section 172 of the display section 17.
At 6, a warning sound such as a buzzer is emitted and the display section 1
A mark symbol is displayed at 7, a notification is made to that effect, and the CANCEL key is then pressed in the key control section 1. These operations are the same as those described in Fig. 2, so a detailed explanation will be provided here. is omitted.

In this series of operations, if the registration key is input in step F9 and the process proceeds to step F7, where data is written to a new address in the data storage section 14, or if the CANCEL key is input in step F10. If there is, the process advances to step F11. This step F
At step 11, it is determined whether there is data in the flag data processing section 10, and if the answer is No, the symbol mark etc. on the display section 17 is erased and the process is completed. Also, if YES,
Proceed to step F12.

In this step F12, the flag data from the flag data processing section 10 is written in the item flag storage area in the data storage section 14 in association with the registered data. In this case, if there is an input from the CANCEL key in flag F10, a certain number of flag data are stored by ORing the flag data that has been stored up to that point.

Wait for this state and end the process.

Therefore, although not shown, when desired data is subsequently retrieved, read out, and displayed on the display section 17, if item flag data is added to the read data at this time, this flag data is also displayed on the display section 17. It will be displayed.

Next, a case in which data is searched using the item flags registered in this manner will be explained using FIG. 10. In this case, in the key input unit 1, a numerical value representing the item flag is input using the numerical keys, and at the same time, the F key and the S key are input successively. For example, “○” NJ rFJ rsJ or r
Enter it like FJ 60nen nengajou rSJ. Then, these key inputs are given to the key determination section 2, and the contents thereof are determined. In this case, it is determined that it is an execution key, and an execution key signal is given to the control section 3. The control section 3 receives this signal and issues operation commands to each circuit.

This results in the state of step G1. In this step G1, the output of the key determination section 2 is given to the control section 3 and the flag data processing section 10 via the input buffer 4. Then, the control unit 3 determines whether it is a sentence of the S key, and the No.
If so, the process moves to other processing, and if YES, the process moves to step G2. In this step G2, it is further determined whether there is an F key manual input before the S key manual input, and if NO, the process moves to other search processing. Also, if YES, step G3
Proceed to.

In this step G3, the flag data processing unit 10
It is judged whether there is numerical data before the key human power. If the answer is YES now, the process advances to step G4. In this step G4, the numerical data stored in the flag data processing section 10 is read out and written into the register of the comparison/judgment section 11.

On the other hand, if No in step G3, the process advances to step G5. In this step G5, it is determined whether there is data, that is, comment data, between the F key manual input and the S key manual input, and if the answer is No, an error ff process is performed, or if YES
If so, proceed to step G6. In this step G6,
It is determined whether the data determined in step G5 is stored in the flag comment storage section 15. If the answer is No, error processing is performed, and if the answer is YES, the process advances to step G7. Then, in step G7, the numerical data paired with the data of the comment sentence at this time is called out and written into the register of the comparison/judgment section 11.

In this way, in step G4 or G7, the comparison judgment unit 11
When the data is written to the register, the process advances to step G8. In this flag G8, the comparison/judgment section 11 compares the numerical data in the register with the flag data read out from the data storage section 14. In this case, data at the first address is read from the data storage section 14 based on the address data from the storage section address counter 13, and this data is provided to the comparison/judgment section 11. In this state, it is determined in step G9 whether the data are equal. In this case, if NO, the process advances to step G10. In this step G10, a control signal is applied from the control section 3 to the storage section address counter 13, and the contents of the counter are counted up. As a result, the data storage unit 14 stores address counter 1 at this time.
Data at the next address is read by address data No. 3. Then, the process returns to steps G8 and G9, and it is again determined whether or not there is equal data. Thereafter, the operations from step G8 to step G10 are repeated in the same manner.

In this state, if equal data is found in step G9, the process advances to step G11. In step G11, flag data corresponding to the numerical data is displayed on the data display section 171 of the display section 17. This specific example is shown in the 11th
and FIG. 12. That is, in FIG. 11, the item flag NO is displayed as a symbol along with general item data. In this case, 01.02.06...
・It is shown that the No flag is included.

Further, in FIG. 12, data in the flag comment storage section 15 is sequentially transferred to the display buffer 9 and displayed as a flag data list. Note that if a comment is input by image input or the like in the data reader section 6, it may be displayed not only as the data after identification but also as dots in a 1:1 correspondence.

Next, the process advances to step G12. And this step G
If there is a human power for the S key from the key human power section 1 again at step G12, the process advances to step G13. In this step G13, it is determined whether any data remains in the data storage section 14. If no data remains, the process ends, and if data remains, the process returns to step GIO, and the storage address counter 13 is incremented. As a result, data at the next address is read from the data storage section 14, data comparison is performed again in steps G8 and G9, and subsequently other data satisfying the above-mentioned conditions is retrieved.

Therefore, according to the information management device configured in this way, as described in FIG. When the same data is found, it is possible to notify the user that the same data is found.
By canceling or re-registering the input data at this time, unnecessary double registration of the same data can be prevented. This prevents the same data from being outputted over and over again when searching for data afterward, so you can avoid mistakes such as sending out multiple copies of the same data after the same dog dies. In addition to being able to prevent this, it is also possible to quickly determine whether or not someone has received a business card before, eliminating unnecessary confusion for the user and realizing effective data management.

Further, since it is possible to prevent the area of the data storage unit 14 from being wasted, a large amount of data can be registered in the limited storage area.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications without changing the gist.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, unnecessary double registration of the same information can be prevented, and effective data management including the use of data subsequently retrieved can be realized.

Furthermore, a large amount of data can be registered in a storage unit with a limited capacity.
