 In step S12, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. When the first position of the lock switch 23 is selected, the process proceeds to step S13. On the other hand, when the second position of the mouth switch 23 is selected, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S13, since the operation of the selection buttons 20 to 22 is prohibited because the lock switch 23 is in the first position, the operator is informed that the operation is impossible and an error state is generated, and step S13 is performed. Return to 1. As the notification means, a predetermined sound may be output from the speaker 27, or the LCD 15 may be blinked.

 In step S14, it is determined whether or not the zodiac selection button 20 has been operated. If the zodiac selection button 20 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S15, and each time the zodiac selection button 20 is pressed. In the zodiac display section 17, child (rat) → ox (cow) → tiger (tiger) → rabbit (rabbit) → dragon (dragon) — snake (snake) — noon (horse) → not (sheep) → monkey (Monkey) — Rooster (chicken) — Dog (dog) — Boar (boar), and proceed to step S16. If the zodiac selection button 20 is not operated in step S14, the process directly proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, it is determined whether or not the constellation selection button 21 has been operated.If the constellation selection button 21 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S17, and every time the constellation selection button 21 is pressed. The constellation display section 18 shows the image corresponding to Aries → Taurus → Gemini → Cancer → Leo → Virgo → Libra → Scorpio → Sagittarius → Capricorn → Aquarius → Pisces. Display and go to step S18. If the constellation selection button 21 is not operated in step S16, the process proceeds directly to step S18. In step S18, it is determined whether or not the blood type selection button 22 has been operated. If the blood type selection button 22 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S19 and the blood type selection button 22 Every time is pressed, an image corresponding to A type → B type → AB type → 0 type is displayed on the blood type display section 19, and the process proceeds to step S20. If the blood type selection button 22 is not operated in step S18, the process proceeds to step S20 as it is.

 In step S20, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. In the case of the first position, the process proceeds to step S21, and in the case of the second position, the process returns to step S14. That is, until the lock switch 23 is switched to the operation prohibition position of the selection buttons 20 to 22, the input of the operation of the selection buttons 20 to 22 is accepted, and the selection buttons 20 to 22 are pressed. The image corresponding to each operation is switched and displayed sequentially.

 In step S21, the set contents are stored in the personal information file 100 and stored in the RAM 35. In step S22, transmission data is created based on the stored personal information, and control is returned to the main routine.

 In the present embodiment, the information stored in the personal information file 100 is zodiac, constellation, and blood type, but is not limited thereto, and other information such as name, gender, etc. It may or may not need to include all information. Even when the power of this device is turned off, the data in the RAM 35 can be retained by supplying power to the RAM 35. In this case, the next time the power is turned on, the presence or absence of the personal information file 100 in the RAM 35 is checked, and if the file already exists, the initialization process may be bypassed. .

In addition, characters may be displayed on the LCD 15 so that a display for prompting the operator to input information may be performed, and the operator may perform the input according to the display. Alternatively, the date of birth may be input by the operator, and the zodiac signs and constellations may be calculated automatically. FIG. 10 shows an example of the format of the transmission data, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in the figure, the transmission data includes a header 1 indicating the start of transmission. It consists of 10, a data section 120, and an end section 130. The data section 120 further includes at least one set of an identifier 122 and a data 124 having a predetermined data length. On the receiving side, the item is identified based on the identifier 122 of the data part 120. The transmission data shown in FIG. 10 has information on n items.

 In this embodiment, three items, zodiac, constellation, and blood type, are transmitted. As another mode, when the date of birth is stored as information, the date of birth is transmitted, the receiving side receives the date of birth, and based on the received date of birth, the zodiac signs and constellations May be calculated. Also, it may be possible to select whether or not to transmit various information as appropriate.

 FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the information transmission processing routine described above. When control is transferred from the main routine of FIG. 8 to the present information transmission processing routine, in step S31, the transmission data stored in RAM 35 is transferred to a transmission buffer (not shown). In step S32, the transmission data transferred to the transmission buffer is converted into an optical signal by the EZO converter, and in step S33, the light emitting section 43 outputs infrared rays. Here, steps S32 and S33 are described not for the processing of the control program but for the operation of the E / O converter and the infrared ray generator of the light emitting section 43 for reference. In step S34, a timer is set, and control returns to the main routine. The timer to be set here is for timing information transmission, and an information transmission event occurs when the time is up. The set time of this timer is preferably 1-2 seconds. Transmission can be stopped arbitrarily.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the information update processing routine described above. When control is transferred from the main routine of FIG. 8 to the information update processing routine, in step S41, it is determined whether or not the zodiac selection button 20 has been operated, and the zodiac selection button 20 has been pressed. In this case, proceed to step S42, and each time the zodiac selection button 20 is pressed, the child—ox → tora → u → tatsu → mimi → noon → not—not—rooster → dog— The corresponding images are displayed in the order of “Ya” and the process proceeds to step S3. Step S 4 If the zodiac selection button 20 is not operated at 1, the process proceeds directly to step S43.

 In step S43, it is determined whether or not the constellation selection button 21 has been operated. If the constellation selection button 21 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S44, where each time the constellation selection button 21 is pressed. In the constellation display section 18, the image corresponding to Aries-Taurus-Gemini-Cancer-Leo-Virgo-Libra-Scorpio-Sagittarius-Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces Is displayed and the process proceeds to step S45. If the constellation selection button 21 is not operated in step S43, the process directly proceeds to step S45.

 In step S45, it is determined whether or not the blood type selection button 22 has been operated. If the blood type selection button 22 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S46, where the blood type selection button 22 has been pressed. Each time the blood type display section 19 displays an image corresponding to type A → type B → type AB → type 0 in the order, and proceeds to step S47. If the blood type selection buttons 22 are not operated in step S45, the process proceeds directly to step S47.

 In step S47, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. If it is the first position, the process proceeds to step S48, and if it is the second position, the process returns to step S41. In other words, the input of the operation of the selection buttons 20 to 22 is accepted and the selection buttons 20 to 22 are operated until the operation switch of the lock switch 23 is pressed to the operation prohibited position of the selection buttons 20 to 22 Each time the image is displayed, the corresponding image is sequentially switched and displayed.

 In step S48, the updated contents are stored in the personal information file 100 and stored in the RAM 35. In step S49, transmission data is created based on the stored personal information, and control is returned to the main routine.

 Based on the information recorded in the personal information file 100 stored in the RAM 35, in the following information reception processing routine, comparison with the received information is performed, and compatibility diagnosis is performed. .

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the information reception processing routine described above. When the control shifts from the main routine of FIG. 8 to the present information reception processing routine, in step S51, it is checked whether the reception processing has been normally completed. 5 Proceed to step 2. In step S53, the light receiving section 45 is reset, and the control returns to the main routine. At this time, the operator may be notified of the abnormality.

 In step S52, various kinds of information are extracted from the received signal, and the same information as the personal information file 100, that is, the zodiac sign, constellation and blood type are stored as a received information file 200, Save to RAM 35. As mentioned earlier, not all information is transmitted, and each transmitted information is stored. If the date of birth 送信 is sent, calculate the zodiac signs and constellations based on the date of birth.

 In step S54, compatibility between the zodiac information stored in the reception information file 200 and the personal information file 100 is checked. Here, the compatibility is checked using the twelve supportability correspondence table in FIG. When it is determined that the compatibility is good, the process proceeds to step S55, and when it is not determined that the compatibility is good, the process proceeds to step S56. In step S55, the image of the Zodiac display section 17 of the LCD 15 is blinked.

 In step S56, the compatibility of the constellation information stored in the received information file 200 and the personal information file 100 is checked. Here, the compatibility is checked using the constellation compatibility table shown in Fig. 6. When it is determined that the compatibility is good, the process proceeds to step S57, and when it is not determined that the compatibility is good, the process proceeds to step S58. In step S57, the image of the constellation display section 18 of the LCD 15 is blinked. Further, in step S58, the compatibility of the blood type information stored in the reception information file 200 and the personal information file 100 is checked. Here, the compatibility is examined using the blood type compatibility correspondence table shown in FIG. When it is determined that the compatibility is good, the process proceeds to step S59, and when it is not determined that the compatibility is good, the control is returned to the main routine. In step S59, the image of the blood type display section 19 of the LCD 15 is blinked, and the control is returned to the main routine.

In the above steps S54, 56 and 58, a predetermined sound may be further output from the speaker 27, or vibration may be generated in the vibrating section 49. Further, it may be possible to select whether or not to output sound and whether or not to generate vibration. This flowchart shows the conditions for stopping the notification of the compatibility match. However, the condition is that a predetermined confirmation operation indicating that the operator has recognized the notification of the compatibility match has been performed, or the information matching the compatibility has not been received anymore. Alternatively, the operation may be automatically stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed. Regardless of the incompatibility, the fact that the information has been received may be displayed to the operator, notified by voice or vibration.

 Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic compatibility notification device of the present embodiment will be described.

 First, it is assumed that there are at least two persons (persons A and B) carrying the electronic compatibility notification device of the present invention. It is assumed that the person A inserts the battery 47 of the electronic compatibility notification device, starts the control program, and starts the main routine shown in FIG. In step S1, control is transferred to the initial setting processing routine of FIG. 9, and in step S12, the set position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. At this time, assuming that the lock switch 23 is still in the first position, the process proceeds to step S13, and an inoperable error state is reported. When the person A, who is the operator, switches the rock switch 23 from the first position to the second position, it is determined in step S12 that the position is the second position, and the process proceeds to step S14.

 In steps S14 to S19, the operation of the selection switches 20 to 22 is monitored. At this point, the LCD 15 displays the image of the child (rat) on the zodiac display 17 as the initial display, the constellation display 18 displays the image of Aries, The blood type display section 19 displays an image of "A type". When the operator operates the constellation selection button 21, the process advances from step S16 to step S17, and changes the image of the constellation display section 18 from "Aries" to "Taurus". After confirming the selected position of the lock switch 23 in step S20, if the position is the second position, the process returns to step S14. Here, when the operator presses the constellation selection button 21 three times in succession, the image of the constellation display section 18 is changed to “Lion”.

Next, when the operator presses the zodiac selection button 20 twice, the image of the zodiac display section 17 is changed from “child” to “tiger”. Next, when the operator presses the blood type selection button 22 once, the image of the blood type display section 19 is changed from “A type” to “B type”. Again, when the operator presses the constellation selection button 2 1 once, the image of the constellation display section 18 is changed from “Lion” to “Virgo”. When the person A switches the lock switch 23 from the second position to the first position, the process proceeds from step S20 to step S21, a personal information file 100 is created, and information on the person A, that is, The information that the zodiac sign is “Tora”, the constellation is “Virgo”, and the blood type is “B type” is stored in RAM 35. In step S22, transmission data is created based on the personal information file 100, and transferred to the transmission buffer.

 On the other hand, for Person B, the initial settings are also made in the personal information file 100. It is assumed that information is stored and stored in RAM 35.

 If the position of the two persons is out of the infrared communication range as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the received signal is not detected in step S6 of the control program shown in FIG. The reception processing routine is not executed. Transmission requests are made approximately every 1-2 seconds.

 Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), when the two persons approach each other and enter the infrared communication range 互 い, the two devices detect infrared rays with the light receiving element of the light receiving section 45, and The signal is converted into a digital signal by the EZO converter of the light receiving section 45 and transferred to the reception buffer. As a result, an information reception event occurs in the event monitoring loop L1 of the main routine of the control program shown in FIG. 8, and the information reception processing routine shown in FIG. 13 is started. The following describes the processing of the person A in the electronic compatibility notification device.

 In step S51 of the information reception processing routine shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether the reception processing has been normally performed. When the communication has been completed normally, the process proceeds from step S51 to step S52. In step S52, data is read from the reception buffer and analyzed according to the data format. A reception information file 200 is created from the reception data and stored in RAM 35.

In step S54, the zodiac compatibility is diagnosed based on the zodiac correspondence table shown in FIG. According to the zodiac compatibility table, the zodiac sign of the character A, which is compatible with the zodiac sign “tiger” of the person A, contains the “zuki” character of the zodiac sign of the person B. The image of Part 17 is displayed blinking. At this time, Vibration may be generated in the moving part 49 or sound may be output from the speaker 27.

 Next, in step S56, the compatibility of the constellations is diagnosed based on the constellation compatibility table shown in FIG. According to the constellation compatibility table, the zodiac sign that is compatible with the constellation “Virgo” of person A contains “Capricorn”, the constellation of person B. 15 The constellation display area of 5 blinks the image of 18.

 Next, in step S58, the blood type compatibility diagnosis is performed based on the blood type compatibility correspondence table in FIG. According to the blood type compatibility table, since the blood type compatible with the blood type “B” of person A does not include the blood type “AB” of person B, the blood type display section of LCD 15 19 Control is returned to the main routine without changing the image display of 9.

 As described above, the compatibility diagnosis of the person A and the person B is performed on the zodiac, the constellation, and the blood type. In the device of the person A, the zodiac display 17 and the constellation display 18 of the LCD 15 are displayed. The image blinks, and Person A can see that there is a person near him who is compatible with him in the Zodiac Sign. In addition, the same processing is performed for person B, and the result is reported as the result of the compatibility diagnosis.

 As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the focus of the infrared light output from the infrared light generating unit of the light emitting unit 45 is narrowed to the transmitting / receiving unit 13 side of the housing 11, May be provided with a sleeve 51. The sleeve 51 can be taken out by rotating an annular ring 53 provided between the light receiving section 13 and the housing 11. Further, since the sleeve 51 can restrict not only the direction at the time of transmission but also the direction at the time of reception, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, three persons A, B, and C simultaneously When approaching, when the compatibility of the device of person A is determined to be compatible with the device, it is possible to determine which of the persons B and C is compatible.

In FIG. 14, the traveling direction of the infrared ray is specified in a direction parallel to the axis of the housing 11, but is not limited thereto, and the traveling direction of the infrared ray is specified in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the housing 11. The shape of the sleeve may be changed as described above. If you do this, The direction of infrared rays can be specified while the device is stored in a pocket or the like.

 Hereinafter, a case will be described where person A uses the sleeve 51 to specify the communication direction and search for a compatible person.

 At first, as shown in Fig. 15 (a), Person A carries the device without using the sleeve 51. When Persons B and C approach Person A, it is reported that Person A's device is compatible. It is assumed that the person A first uses the sleeve 51 to specify the communication direction in the direction of the person B as shown in FIG. 15 (b). Then, the signal from person C is not received, and only the signal from person B is received. If the compatibility with the information on the person C is matched, the notification of the compatibility match on the device of the person A disappears at this time. Conversely, if person A specifies the communication direction in the direction of person C as shown in Fig. 15 (c), the signal from person B is not received, and only the signal from person C is received. Is done. At this time, a notification of the compatibility match is generated, and it can be understood that the person A matches the compatibility not the person B but the person C.

 In addition, when the distance to a device that transmits compatible information approaches, the operator may be notified by changing the sound or vibration according to the distance. The voice or vibration may be changed according to the above communication direction to notify the operator.

 Next, a second embodiment of the electronic compatibility notification device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

Mode number 27 displays the message of the received information. Hereinafter, a control program of the electronic compatibility notification device of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of a main routine of a control program of the electronic compatibility notifying apparatus of the present embodiment. When the on / off switch 1 2 1 of the electronic compatibility notification device is turned on, the control program is started and the main routine is started. Alternatively, a reset switch similar to that of the first embodiment may be provided, and restart can be performed by operating the reset switch. According to the figure, when the control program is started, in step S101, the control shifts to an initialization processing routine to be described later. When the control is returned from the initialization processing routine, the process proceeds to step S102, and it is determined whether or not personal information is transmitted to the outside. If it is determined in step S102 that information is to be transmitted, the process proceeds to step S103. If the information is not transmitted, the process proceeds to step S104. In step S103, control is transferred to an information transmission processing routine described later. Here, the determination as to whether or not to transmit information may be a lapse of a predetermined time or may be a transmission request by an operator. The transmission request by the operator is made by operating the action button 12 9. The elapse of the predetermined time is measured by a timer setting, and an information transmission event occurs when the time is up. When control is returned from the information transmission processing routine in step S103, the process proceeds to step S104.

 In step S104, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. If the first position has been selected, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the second position has been selected, the process proceeds to step S105, and control is transferred to an information update processing routine described later. . This information update processing routine is the same as the information update processing routine shown in FIG. 12 of the first embodiment, and therefore the description is omitted. When control is returned from the information update processing routine, the process proceeds to step S106.

 In step S106, it is confirmed whether or not the mode button 123 has been operated. If the mode button 123 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S107. If the mode button 123 is not operated, the process proceeds to step S108. In step S107, control is transferred to a mode processing routine described later. When the control is returned from the mode processing routine, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S109, it is determined whether or not an infrared signal has been received via the light receiving unit 45. If received, the process proceeds to step S109, and if no signal has been received, the process proceeds to step S109. Proceed to step S110. In step S109, control is transferred to an information reception processing routine described later. When the control is returned from the information reception processing routine, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S110, it is determined whether or not the on / off switch 1 21 is off. If the on / off switch 1 2 1 is off, Terminates this control program, and returns to step S102 if the ON / OFF switch 121 is not OFF.

 Steps S102 to S110 constitute an event monitoring loop L2, which is shown as a single task in the flowchart of FIG. 19 for convenience. Actually, steps S102, S104, S106, S At 108 and Sll0, each event is constantly monitored, and steps S103, SI05, SI07 and S109 are multitasked as required. That is, in step S102, the presence or absence of a transmission request, in step S104, the presence or absence of an operation to switch the lock switch 23 to the second position, in step S106, the presence or absence of operation of the mode button 123, and in step S108 The presence / absence of a received signal, and in step S110, the OFF operation of the ON / OFF switch 121 is a monitoring event. When each event is detected, the processing shifts to each processing routine and the processing is performed, or this routine is terminated.

 FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of an initialization processing routine shown in step S101 of the main routine of FIG. When control is transferred from the main routine of FIG. 19 to the initialization processing routine, in step S 111, an image of “child (mouse)” is displayed on the zodiac display 17 of the LCD 115, and “Eep” is displayed on the constellation display 18. The image of “za” is initially displayed on the blood type display section 19, the image of “A type” is displayed on the character display section 117, and the mode number “00” is displayed on the character display section 117, respectively.

 In step S112, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. When the first position is selected by the lock switch 23, the process proceeds to step S113. On the other hand, when the second position is selected by the lock switch 23, the process proceeds to step S114. In step S113, the lock switch 23 is in the first position, and the operation of the selection buttons 20 to 22 is prohibited. Return to 1 12 As the notification means, a predetermined sound may be output from the speaker 27, or the LCD 115 may blink.

In step 114, it is determined whether or not the selection buttons 20 to 22 have been operated. If any of the selection buttons 20 to 22 has been operated, proceed to step S115, The corresponding images are sequentially displayed on the display units 17 to 19 corresponding to the selected buttons 20 to 22, and the process proceeds to step S 116. The processing in steps S114 and S115 is the same as the processing in steps S114 to S19 in FIG. 9, and a description thereof will be omitted. If the selection buttons 20 to 22 are not operated in step S114, the process proceeds directly to step S116.

 In step S116, it is determined whether or not the mode button 123 has been operated, and if the mode button 123 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S117 to enter the mode processing routine described later. Pass control. When control is returned from the mode processing routine, the process proceeds to step S118. If the mode buttons 1 2 3 are not operated in the judgment of step S 116, the process returns to step S 114.

 In step S118, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. If the switch is the first position, the process proceeds to step S119, and if the switch is the second position, the process returns to step S114. That is, until the lock switch 23 is switched to the operation prohibition position of various buttons, input of various button operations is received, and image and character switching display and predetermined processing are sequentially performed. In step S119, the set contents are stored in the personal extended information file 400, the condition file 300, and the action information file 500, and are stored in the RAM 35. In the following step S120, transmission data is created based on the stored personal information, and control is returned to the main routine.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of a mode processing routine. This routine is called from step S107 of the main routine shown in FIG. 19 and step S117 of the initialization processing routine shown in FIG. When control is transferred from each routine, in step S121 of the mode processing routine, the mode number 00 is initially displayed on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115. In step S122, it is confirmed whether or not the mode button 123 has been operated. If the mode button 123 is pressed in step S122, this routine is terminated, and control returns to the routine from which this routine was called. If the mode button 1 2 3 is not operated in step S 1 2 2, the process proceeds to step S 1 2 3. In step S123, it is confirmed whether or not the setting button 125 has been operated. When the setting button 125 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S124, and when the setting button 125 is not operated, the process proceeds to step S125. In step S124, the mode number is displayed on character display section 117 of LCD 115. The mode number is displayed every time the setting button 125 is operated. 01 → 02 → 03 → 04 → 11 → 12 → 13 → 14 → 15 → 16 → 17 → 21 → 22 → 23 → 24 → 25 → 26 → Displayed in the order of 27, proceed to step S125.

 In step S125, it is confirmed whether or not the enter button 127 has been operated. If the enter button 127 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S126. If the enter button 127 has not been operated, the process returns to step S122.

 In step S126, when the enter button 127 is operated, the steps to be performed are classified according to the mode number displayed on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115. That is, when the mode number is 00 to 02, 11 and 12, the process proceeds to the candidate selection processing routine of step S127. When the mode number is 03 and 04 and 13 to 17, the input operation of step S128 is performed. Proceed to the processing routine, and if the mode number is 21 to 27, proceed to step S129. The processing in steps S127 and S128 will be described later. In step S129, information corresponding to the selected mode number is displayed on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115. Return from step S127, S128 and S129 to step S122.

In the candidate selection processing routine of step S127, first, an initial display is made on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115. Here, the initially displayed data is the first data of the candidates shown in FIG. Alternatively, if information has already been set, the set information is displayed as the initial display. Next, each time the set button 125 is operated, the candidates shown in FIG. 18 are displayed on the character display 117 of the LCD 115 in order. However, when the setting position of the lock switch 23 is the first position, information cannot be set, so the mode number display flashes to notify the operator of an inoperable error state, and the setting button 125 is operated. Do not accept. Further, when the enter button 127 is operated, the LCD 115 The candidate displayed in the character display section 117 is selected as information, and the process returns to step S122.

 In the input processing routine of step S 128, first, as the initial display of the first digit of the character display portion 117 of the LCD 115, an alphabetical character “A”, katakana “a” or katakana , And the numerical value “0” is displayed. Alternatively, if information has already been selected, the selected information is displayed as the initial display. Next, each time the setting button 125 is operated, the character or numerical value is changed, for example, from A → B → C →. However, when the setting position of the lock switch 23 is the first position, the information cannot be updated, so the mode number display flashes to notify the operator of the inoperable error state and the setting button 1 Operation 5 is not accepted. Further, when the enter button 127 is operated, an initial display is made in the second digit of the character display part 117 of the LCD 115, and the input character or numerical value is selected in the same manner. Each time the decision button 1 27 is pressed, it moves to the next digit and performs the same processing. After the desired number of digits or characters have been input in this way, the character input is completed by operating the OK button 127 twice in succession. Alternatively, the number of input digits may be determined in advance, and the process may automatically end when a predetermined number of digits are input. When the input operation routine ends, the flow returns to step S122. Further, in the present embodiment, the character display portion 117 of the LCD 115 has three digits, so that when a character string of three or more digits is input, the characters are scroll-displayed.

When the above-mentioned candidate selection processing routine and input processing routine are called from the initial setting processing routine, the lock switch 23 is always in the second position, but when called from the main routine, the lock switch 23 is used. Can be the first position. That is, when the lock button 23 is in the first position and the mode button 12 3 is operated to shift to the extended information mode, the extended information and the condition are not updated, but are already selected. Only information display processing is performed. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of an information transmission processing routine. When the control shifts from the main routine of FIG. 19, in step S131, it is determined whether or not the current transmission request is a transmission request by operating the action button 1229. In the case of a transmission request by operating the action button 1 2 9, step S 13 Proceed to 2 and if it is not a transmission request by operating the action button 1229, that is, if it is a periodic transmission request, proceed to step S133.

 In step S132, transmission data is created based on the information selected from the action information file 500. In this embodiment, the format of the transmission data is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the header section 110 indicates that the identifier indicating the data of the personal extension information and the data of the action information. The data of the identifier indicated is entered, so that the receiving side can determine whether the received information is ordinary personal extended information data or action information data. That is, in step S132, an identifier indicating action information is entered in the header section 110 of the transmission data.

 In the following step S134, the transmission data is transferred to the transmission buffer, this processing routine is terminated, and control is returned to the main routine. In step S132, it is possible to select information to be transmitted. For example, this information is selected by operating the mode button 123 beforehand to shift to the extended information mode, and It may be performed by selecting a mode number. When the function button 1 29 is operated while the selected information is displayed on the character display section 1 17 of LCD 1 15, only the displayed information is selected and transmitted. What should I do? In step S133, the information of the personal extended information file 400 is transferred to the transmission buffer, and the flow advances to step S135. In step S135, a timer is set and control is returned to the main routine. Here, the timer to be set is for timing information transmission, and when the time is up, an information transmission event occurs. The time when the timer is set is preferably 1 to 2 seconds. Transmission can be arbitrarily stopped.

 In this embodiment, the condition file 300 is not transmitted / received, but may be transmitted / received, so that the condition can be notified to the other party.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of an information reception processing routine. When the control shifts from the main routine of FIG. 19, it is checked in step S141 whether or not the reception processing has been completed normally. If the reception processing has been completed normally, the process proceeds to step S142. In the case of abnormal termination, in step S143, the light-receiving unit 45 is reset. Set and return control to main routine. At this time, the operator may be notified of the abnormality.

 In step S142, the type of the received data is identified based on the header 110 of the received signal. If the received information is personal extended information data, the process proceeds to step S144, and if the received information is action information data, the process proceeds to step S16.

 In step S144, various types of information are extracted from the received signal, and the same information as the personal extended information file 400 is obtained as a received extended information file 600, that is, the zodiac sign, constellation, blood type, The age, gender, character password and numeric password are stored and stored in RAM 35. As mentioned earlier, not all information is transmitted, and each transmitted information is stored. If the date of birth is sent, calculate the zodiac and constellation based on the date of birth. Proceed from step S144 to step S145. In step S145, control is transferred to a compatibility diagnosis processing routine described later. When control returns from the compatibility diagnosis processing routine, control returns to the main routine.

 In step S146, information is extracted from the received signal, and the same information as the previous action information file 500, that is, the name, the telephone number, and the message are stored as a reception action information file 700, and RAM 3 Save to 5. Proceeding from step S146 to step S147, the received information is displayed on the character display section 117 of LCD 115, and control is returned to the main routine. At this time, the operator may be notified that the action information has been received.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of a compatibility diagnosis processing routine. When control is passed from the information reception processing routine shown in FIG. 23, in step S151, the character password stored in the reception extended information file 600 is stored in the condition file Determine whether it matches the password. If they match, go to step S152. If they do not match, go to step S153. In step S152, the character password corresponding to the character display section 117 of the LCD 115 blinks, and the process proceeds to step S153. In step S153, it is determined whether the numerical password stored in the reception extension information file 600 is stored in the condition file 300 and matches the numerical password. If they match, go to step S155. If they do not match, go to step S155. In step S155, the numeric password corresponding to the character display portion 117 of the LCD 115 is blinked and displayed, and the flow advances to step S155. When both the character password and the numeric password match, the priority may be assigned to any one of them, the voice or vibration may be output separately, or the blinking interval may be adjusted. May be. Also, the display of the character display section 117 of the LCD 115 can be confirmed by scrolling.

 In step S155, it is determined whether the zodiac signs, constellations, and blood types stored in the received extended information file 600 and the personal extended information file 400 match each other, as in the first embodiment. Judge based on the same zodiac, constellation and blood group compatibility tables. If any of them match, the process proceeds to step S156, and if there is no match, the process proceeds to step S157. In step S156, the images of the display sections 17 to 19 of the LCD 115 corresponding to the compatibility match are blinkingly displayed. These processes are the same as steps S54 to S59 of the information reception processing routine of FIG. 13 of the first embodiment.

 In step S157, it is determined whether the age stored in the reception extended information file 600 and the age limit in the condition file 300 are within the upper and lower limits of the age limit. If it is within the range, go to step S158, otherwise go to step S159. In step S158, the lamp 119 blinks and lights, and the process proceeds to step S159.

In step S159, it is determined whether or not the sex matches the gender stored in the reception extended information file 600 in the gender 1 condition file 300. If they match, the process proceeds to step S160. If they do not match, control is returned to the information reception processing routine. In step S160, the lamp 119 is turned on and off to end the processing routine, and control is returned to the information reception processing routine. Steady ahead If the lamp 1 19 is still flashing and lit even in the step S 158, the flashing continues.

 In the above steps, if it is confirmed that the received information matches the condition, in addition to flashing the LCD 115 display or flashing the lamp 119, it is also possible to output audio from the speaker 27. Alternatively, vibration may be generated in the vibrating section 49. In addition, when all conditions and compatibility are matched, the operator may be notified specially. The notification method may be any method.

 Further, when predetermined information does not match, such as when the gender or the character or numerical password does not match, other compatibility diagnosis results can be invalidated in the same received information. In other words, even if the zodiac matches, if the gender does not match, it may not be notified that the zodiac matches. Further, the order of the compatibility diagnosis of steps S151 to S159 in the flowchart of FIG. 24 is not limited to this.

 Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic compatibility notification device of the present embodiment will be described.

 It is assumed that there are at least two persons A and B carrying the electronic compatibility notification device of this embodiment.

 First, the operation will be described according to the operation of the person A. The operator turns on the on-off switch 12 1 of the device, and the control program starts. The main routine shown in FIG. 19 starts, and in step S101, control is passed to the initialization processing routine. In the initial setting processing routine shown in FIG. 20, in step S111, the image of "child (rat)" is displayed on the zodiac display 17 of the LCD 115, and "Elephant" is displayed on the constellation display 18. The image of "za" is initially displayed on the blood type display section 19, the image of "A type" is displayed on the character display section 117, and the mode number "0 0" is displayed on the character display section 117, respectively.

Here, it is assumed that the operator has switched the lock switch 23 to the second position. Then, in step S112, the selected position of the lock switch 23 is confirmed. Since the second position is selected by the lock switch 23, the process proceeds to step S114. In steps S114 and S116, the operation of the selection buttons 20 to 22 and the operation of the mode buttons 123 are monitored. The zodiac selection button 20 is pressed five times, and the image of the snake (snake) is displayed on the zodiac display 17 of the LCD 115. Next, the constellation selection button Button 21 is pressed six times, the image of Libra is displayed on the constellation display section 18 of the LCD 115, and then the blood type selection button 22 is pressed three times. An O-type image is displayed on the blood type display section 19 of the LCD 115.

 Next, when the mode button 1 2 3 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S 117 and shifts to the extended information mode. Control is transferred to the mode processing routine shown in FIG. 21. At step S121, the mode number "0 0" is displayed on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115. In this state, pressing the OK button 1 2 7 displays “0” in the first digit of the character display 1 1 7. The operator presses the setting button 1 2 5 twice to display “2” on the character display section 1 17. In this state, when the user presses the ENTER button 127, a “0” is displayed in the second digit of the character display section 117 next. When the operator presses the setting button four times, “4” is displayed on the character display section 1 17. In this state, when the decision button 1 27 is pressed, the upper limit of the age limit of the other party is determined to be 24 years old, and “24” is displayed on the character display section 117.

 Next, when the operator presses the setting button 1 25, the next mode number “0 1” is displayed on the character display section 1 17. Similarly, enter the minimum age of the other person as 16 years old. Next, when the mode number 02 is selected, the gender of the other party is displayed as "Photoco" on the character display section 117. When the enter button 1 2 7 is pressed as it is, the gender of the other party is selected as a male, and then the character password of mode number 03 is entered as a doctor (Doctor). Suppose you did not enter a numeric password.

 In addition, enter your age, gender, character password, numeric password, name and telephone number as your own information in mode numbers 11 to 16 and finally press the mode button 123 to exit the extended information mode.

 At this time, the character password “Doctor” input above is displayed on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115.

Here, the operator switches the lock switch 23 to the first position, and proceeds to step S119 according to the determination in step S118 of FIG. 20 to set the conditions and information set above. Are stored in the condition file 300, the personal extended information file 400, and the action information file 500, respectively, and are stored in the RAM 35. Furthermore, transmission data is created based on the information in these files. With the above operation, the initial setting of the person A's device is completed, and the control program shifts the control to the event monitoring loop L2. Here, a transmission request is always made every one to two seconds, and the information of the personal extended information file 400 is transmitted in response to the transmission request.

 Here, if the operator switches the lock switch 23 to the second position, the information of the zodiac, the constellation, and the blood type selected previously can be changed. When the position of the lock switch 23 is returned to the first position, the control returns to the main routine.

 Pressing the mode button 1 2 3 moves to the mode processing routine and enters the extended information mode. Here, the user can select the mode number and display the current setting status on the character display section 1 17 to confirm it.

 On the other hand, suppose that person B also activates the device and performs initial settings of conditions and personal information. The personal information set on the device of Person B is: zodiac sign “Tiger”, constellation “Taurus”, blood type “0”, age “21”, and gender “male”. Assume that the character password is “salaryman” and the numeric password is “18 (let's go to karaoke)”.

 When persons A and B approach each other and enter each other's device in the infrared communication range, the processing on the person A's device will be described as an example. First, step S 1 of the main routine in FIG. At 08, the received signal is detected, and the control shifts to the information receiving processing routine.

 In the information reception processing routine shown in FIG. 23, after determining whether or not the reception processing was normal, in step S142, the type of the received information is identified. In this case, since the personal extension information data has been transmitted, the process proceeds to step S144, where the information is stored in the reception extension information file 600, stored in the RAM 35, and stored in the step S144. To the compatibility diagnosis processing routine.

In the compatibility diagnosis processing routine of FIG. 24, comparison of each information with a condition and compatibility diagnosis are performed. In step S151, character passwords are compared first. Here, the character path code stored in the condition file 300 of the device of the person A is “doctor”, and the information received from the person B is stored in the reception extended information file 600 storing the information. Character password is "salaryman" and character password matches No, go directly to step S153. Next, regarding the numerical password, since the numerical password has not been input in the device of the person A, this step is bypassed and the process proceeds to step S155. In step S155, the compatibility of the zodiac, constellation, and blood type of person A is determined based on each compatibility table. The zodiac for person A is "the snake", the constellation is "libra", the blood type is "0", the zodiac for person B is "the tiger", the constellation is "Taurus", and the blood type Is "type 0". If these are determined based on the compatibility table, the compatibility of the constellations will match. Then, the image of Libra on the constellation display section 18 of the LCD 115 flashes.

 Next, in step S157, a comparison is made with the age limit range. The age limit of the other party set on the device of Person A is 16 to 24 years and the age of Person B is 21 years. . Next, in step S159, gender compatibility is checked. Since the gender condition of the other party set on the device of person A is "male" and the personal information of person B is also "male", , Matches. Since the lamps 1 and 9 are already blinking, they return to the main routine.

 The person A knows from the blinking display of the constellation display part 18 of the LCD 115 and the blinking light of the lamp 119 that there is a person who is compatible with the person nearby. Therefore, person A can press mode button 1 2 3 to move to the extended information mode and select mode numbers 21 to 27 to see the contents of the received information in order to know more detailed information. .

 Further, the person A puts the lock switch 23 in the second position, allows the information to be updated, inputs action information, that is, a name, a telephone number, and a message, and returns the lock switch 23 to the first position. After that, operate the action buttons 1 2 9. As a result, the action information is transmitted to the outside.

On the other hand, the person B receives the action information, stores the information in the reception action information file 700 by the information reception processing routine shown in FIG. The received function information blinks on the character display section 1 17 of 15. Therefore, this time, the person B inputs the action information in the same manner and operates the function button 1 29 to transmit the information to the outside. Then, the action information is received by the person A's device, and the received action information is displayed in a blinking manner on the character display section 117 of the LCD 115 in the same manner. In this way, messages can be exchanged between persons A and B.

 For example, you can use this feature to send and receive your name, phone number and desired information as a message to strangers at bars and conference halls. In addition, information of a plurality of persons may be stored in the RAM 35. Only the information of the selected person may be stored. These pieces of information may be such that each individual is identified by an identifier included in the header section 110 of the received data.
