Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention arbitrarily reads out schedule data stored in a memory together with date and time data, if necessary,
The present invention relates to an electronic scheduler that is displayed on a display unit to check a schedule.

[Prior Art and its Problems] Conventionally, an electronic device that stores date data, time data, and schedule data as a pair, stores them in a memory, arbitrarily reads them out as necessary, and displays them on a display unit to confirm a schedule. In the scheduler, when searching for any one of the stored data and displaying it,
There was a method of searching by specifying the schedule contents or date, but there was no method of searching by specifying time data. Also, especially when you want to specify a time zone such as "9 00 to 12 00", it is difficult to recognize it as time data as it is, and you can specify a specific time within that time zone, for example "10 00". However, it was impossible to search the schedule contents based on that.

[Purpose of Invention] This invention was made in view of the above situation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic scheduler that enables a search based on time data and, in particular, can perform a search even for a time within a time zone defined by two times.

[Points of Invention] In this invention, time data indicating a time zone is input and set by two time data together with date data and schedule contents, and when a search time is designated, the time is two time data. The schedule data is searched by determining whether the time data is within the range.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows its circuit configuration, and 11 is a key input section. The key input unit 11 includes character / number keys 11a for data input, and a mode switching key (indicated as "IN / OUT" in the figure) 11 for switching and setting the data input / output mode.
b, Schedule key 11 to specify the scheduler function
c, a date key (represented by "Date" in the figure) 11d for setting a delimiter for date data input, a time key (represented by "Time" in the figure) 11e for inputting time data, and a search for instructing a search for schedule data Key 11f,
An execution key (denoted as "EXE" in the figure) 11g for instructing data input / output and erasing, and a continuous symbol "~" for inputting data indicating a time zone by two time data as time data "~" Key 11h etc. are provided,
Key operation signals generated by these operations are sent to the key determination unit 12. The key judgment unit 12 judges the operation key from the key operation signal of the key input unit 11 according to the control command of the judgment unit 13, and the input data by the operation of the character / numerical key 11a is displayed in the display buffer 14 and the other keys. An operation instruction signal by operation is sent to the control unit 13. The control unit 13 is composed of a ROM storing various control programs, a timing circuit, and the like. The control unit 13 is a cursor control unit that controls the display position of the display buffer 14 and the cursor.
15, a search information storage unit 16 that stores search information when performing a schedule data search, a search unit 17 that actually performs a data search process based on the search information, a schedule storage unit 18 that stores schedule data, this schedule storage Signals are input / output to / from each of the address sections 19 for controlling the address of the section 18 and their operations are controlled. The display buffer 14 inputs and holds the key input data from the key determination unit 12, the cursor position control signal from the cursor control unit 15, and the schedule data from the schedule storage unit 20, and sends them to the display unit 20 for display. on the other hand,
The schedule data is output to the schedule storage unit 18 and the search information is output to the search information storage unit 16 to be stored and set. The search information storage unit 16 stores search information at the time of data search as described above, and includes a date register 16a that internally stores date data to be searched and a time register 16b that stores time data to be searched. The schedule storage unit 18 stores the schedule data after sorting with the input mode set,
The schedule data is configured to store a plurality of sets of date search flags, dates, times, and schedule contents as one set. The display unit 20 is composed of, for example, a dot matrix type liquid crystal display element.

The operation of the above embodiment will be described below.

Here, from the schedule data stored in the schedule storage unit 18, “10 June 1987 10
The hour data is read out, and then the time data "10 o'clock" is read out without specifying the date.

FIG. 2 shows a key operation at the time of searching the schedule data and a display state corresponding to the key operation. In the beginning of the operation, the mode switching key 11b is used to switch and set the output mode of the schedule data. ), To input data indicating "10 o'clock June 10, 1987" using the character / number keys 11a, date key 11d and time key 11e, "1987", "Date", "6", "Date", "1"
Key in "0", "Date", "1000", and "Time". The date data and the time data are held in the display buffer 14 by these key inputs, and the date data to be searched for with the character "SCHEDULE OUT" indicating the output mode of the schedule data is displayed on the display unit 20 as shown in FIG. 2 (1). "1987-06-10", same time data "1000"
And are displayed. As a result, the date data "198" is transferred from the display buffer 14 to the date register 16a of the search information storage section 16.
7-06-10 ", the time data" 1000 "is sent to the time register 16b, respectively, and is set.

Then, when the search key 11f is operated to instruct a search as shown in FIG. 2 (2), the process shown in FIG. 3 is performed in response to this key operation.

In FIG. 3, first, at step A01, the date key 11d
Is operated, that is, whether or not date data is set as search information in the date register 16a of the search information storage unit 16 is determined. Here, "1987-0
6-10 "has been set, the search unit 17 judges this, and then proceeds to step A02, where the schedule storage unit
A plurality of schedule data stored in 18 is searched for one having corresponding date data, and a flag is added to the schedule data. After that, in step A03, it is determined whether or not the time key 11e is operated, that is, whether or not time data is set as search information in the time register 16b of the search information storage unit 16. Since "1000" is set here as well, the search unit 17 judges this, and then proceeds to step A04. In step A04, a plurality of schedule data stored in the schedule storage unit 18 are searched for data having corresponding date data and time data. This is because the flag has already been set to the schedule data corresponding to the date data, so the search unit 17 searches for the corresponding time data from the schedule data to which the flag is set. Is. Date data "1987-06-10" is now stored in the schedule storage unit 18.
And the time data “900 to 1200” and the schedule content “Kikakagigi” are stored as a set of schedule data, the time data “900 to 12”
00 "is searched as corresponding to the time data" 1000 "as the search information by the process of FIG. 4 described later, the entire schedule data is read to the display buffer 14, and the display unit 20 is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. Is displayed, and the process is completed.

That is, in FIG. 4, first, the time data “90” stored in the schedule storage unit 18 in step B01 is first described.
0 to 1200 "is read. In the subsequent step B02, it is determined whether or not the data matches the time data "1000" which is the search information. This is because the time data "1000" that is the search information is the time data "900" read out.
.About.1200 ", the read time data is" 100 ".
If it is 0 to 1200 "or the like, the determination result is YES,
Here, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step B03. At step B03, it is judged whether or not the read time data includes a continuous symbol "...". Here, the judgment result is Y
It becomes ES, and then proceeds to step B04. At step B04, of the read time data “900 to 1200”,
The registration data 1 is "900" and the registration data 2 is "1200". First, it is determined whether or not the registration data 1 is earlier than the time data of the search information. Here, since the registered data 1 is "900" and the search information is "1000", the determination result is YES, and the process goes to step B05. In step B05, it is determined whether or not the registration data 2 is later than the time data of the search information in time. Here, since the registration data 2 is “1200” and the search information is “1000”, the determination result is YES. In this way, when it is determined that the time information "1000" of the search information matches the range of the registration data 1 and the registration data 2, that is, the condition of "900 to 1200", the process proceeds to step B06 and is read as the matching data. Display buffer for the received time data “900 to 1200” and the corresponding schedule content “Kikakukaigi”
It is sent to 14 and displayed on the display unit 20. Then, in the following step B07, it is determined whether or not there is the next data for continuing the search in the schedule storage unit 18, and if it is determined that the next data is not present, this processing is ended. The process of is repeated. If it is determined in step B02 that the time data serving as the search information and the time data read from the schedule storage unit 18 are the same as each other, the processes in steps B03 to B05 are not necessary and are omitted. Display schedule data. Also, steps B03, B04, B05
If the determination result is NO in each case, the read time data does not match the time data of the search information, so the process goes to step B07 to search for the next data.

In the example of FIGS. 2 (1) and 2 (2), the time data is input after the date data and the schedule data is searched accordingly. Next, only the time data is input without inputting the date data. A case where a search for schedule data is performed is shown.

As shown in FIG. 2 (3), "10" is entered to input data indicating "10 o'clock" using the character / number keys 11a and the time key 11e.
Enter "00" and "Time". The time data is held in the display buffer 14 by these key inputs,
As shown in FIG. 2 (3), a character "SCHEDULE OUT" indicating the output mode of the schedule data and time data "1000" for searching are displayed at 20. As a result, the time data "1000" is sent from the display buffer 14 to the time register 16b of the search information storage unit 16 and is input and set.

Then, when the search key 11f is operated to instruct a search as shown in FIG. 2 (4), the processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed for this key operation.

In FIG. 3, first, at step A01, the date key 11d
Is operated, that is, whether or not date data is set as search information in the date register 16a of the search information storage unit 16 is determined. It is not set here, the determination result is NO, and the process goes to step A05.
At step A05, whether or not the time key 11e has been operated,
That is, it is determined whether or not time data is set as search information in the time register 16b of the search information storage unit 16. Since "1000" is set here, the search unit 17 judges this, and then proceeds to step A06. In step A06, the data having the corresponding time data is searched from all of the plurality of schedule data stored in the schedule storage unit 18. The date data "1987-06-01", the time data "1000-1200", and the schedule content "Kouenkai" are stored in the schedule storage unit 18 as a set of schedule data, and the date data "1987-06-08". It is assumed that the time data “1000” and the schedule content “Bunaikaigi” are continuously stored as another set of schedule data. The time data “1000 to 1200” of the first set of schedule data is searched by the process of FIG. 4 as corresponding to the time data “1000” as the search information, and the entire schedule data is read to the display buffer 14. Further, the time data "1000" of the subsequent set of schedule data is also searched by the process of FIG. 4 as corresponding to the time data "1000" as the search information, which corresponds to the display capacity of the display unit 20. Due to the storage capacity of the display buffer 14, part of the schedule data is read out to the display buffer 14 and the display unit 20
Is displayed as shown in FIG.

In this case, in the process of FIG. 4, the time data “1000 to 1200” stored in the schedule storage unit 18 in the schedule B01 is first read. Continued Step B
In 02, it is determined whether or not the data matches the time data “1000” which is the search information. YE here
If it is determined to be S, the process proceeds to step B06, and the date data "1987-06-0" read out as the coincidence data.
1 ”, time data“ 1000 to 1200 ”, and schedule content“ Kouenkai ”are sent to the display buffer 14 and displayed on the display unit 20. Then, when it is determined in the subsequent step B07 that there is the next data for continuing the search in the schedule storage unit 18, the processing from step B01 is repeated again.

In this step B01, the time data "1000" stored in the schedule storage unit 18 is read. Continued Step B
In 02, the data and the time data that becomes search information "100
It is determined whether "0" matches. Here too, YES
Then, the process proceeds to step B06, and the date data "1987-06-08" read out as coincidence data,
The time data “1000” and the schedule content “Bunaikaigi” corresponding to the time data “1000” are sent to the display buffer 14.
However, since the storage capacity of the display buffer 14 is limited, only the date data "1987-06-08" is displayed.
Input is set to. As a result, the display section 20 is brought into a display state as shown in FIG.

Although not shown above, step A in FIG.
If it is determined in 03 that the date key 11d was operated but the time key 11e was not operated before the search key 11f was operated, that is, if only the date data was input as the search information, the process proceeds to step A07 and the date is set. The date data stored and set in the register 16a is used to search the schedule data in the schedule storage unit 18.

[Advantage of Device] As described in detail above, according to this device, when the time data indicating the time zone is input and set by the two time data together with the date data and the schedule contents, and the time to be searched is designated, Since it is determined whether or not the time is within the range of two time data of the time data, the search of the schedule data is executed. Therefore, the search by the time data is possible, and the time data is particularly specified. It is possible to provide an electronic scheduler capable of performing a search even for a time within a time zone.
