When the "start" button (47) is touched with the pen (3), the "start" button (47) cannot be selected, and the "end" button (48) for holiday setting can be selected. I do. Next, it is determined whether the pen (3) has touched (down) the predetermined column, in this example, the column of the day of the week or the column of the date. When the pen (3) comes into contact with this predetermined column, for example, the already-inverted codes in the storage area provided in the RAM (24) are respectively set to "0". The inverted code is a code provided corresponding to each date of the calendar, and is a storage area for storing whether the holiday and the work date of the date have been newly changed, and a pen (3)
Is changed once while touching (touching the input tablet (2)), and cannot be changed again after the high level is set to "1".

After the pen (3) is raised, the change is possible again.

Next, it is determined whether the place where the pen (3) is down is the day of week. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the pen (3)
Is the Thursday column as shown by the cursor (49), the date of Thursday 4 as shown in FIG.
The display of the days, 11th, 18th, and 25th holidays and the work day are reversed to show holidays. The same applies to other days. Therefore, the setting operation of the holiday and the work day for each day of the week can be performed by one operation, and this setting operation is facilitated. When the holiday setting is completed with this, the pen (3) is raised, and if the "end" button (48) of holiday setting is touched with the pen (3), this is stored and the holiday setting ends.

When the pen (3) is down in the date column, for example, on the 10th as shown in FIG. 8, the date of the first pen (3) down point, that is, the holiday on the 10th and the work day are displayed. Inversion, that is, holiday display, and the already inverted code of this 10th day is set to “1”. Next, it is determined whether or not the pen (3) is raised. When the pen (3) is raised, the display of the holiday and the work day for the tenth day is inverted. Can be set. When the pen (3) is not raised, it is determined whether the current position of the pen (3) is within the date width of the first pen (3) down point. As shown in FIG. 5, within the date range is a question as to whether or not the pen is moved in the vertical direction. For example, the pen (3) is moved on the 17th. , 24 days, it is determined whether the reversed code of each date is already changed “1”, and “0” is not changed
In this case, the display of the date, the 17th and 24th holidays, and the work day are inverted, for example, holiday display as shown in FIG. 9, and the already inverted code is set to "1". As a result, it is possible to set a plurality of holidays and work days on the same day at a time.

When the position of the current pen (3) is moved beyond the date of the first pen down point, for example, the width a of 10 days, it is determined whether the already inverted code of the current pen (3) down point is "1". And when it is already changed and it is “1”, it remains as it is,
When the inverted code is "0", the display of the holiday and the work day on that date is inverted, and the inverted code is set to "1" (the date will be referred to as the present date in the following description). Next, it is determined whether the date of the down point of the current pen (3) is greater than the date of the down point of the first pen (3), for example, 10 days. It is determined whether (3) is equal to the down date, for example, 10 days. For example, when the pen (3) is moved on the 11th, it becomes equal. At this time, it is determined whether or not the reversed code of the current date is "1". Is unchanged, but when the inverted code is "0", the display of the present day of the holiday and the work day is inverted, and the inverted code is set to "1".

When this [current date-1] is not equal to the first pen (3) down date, for example, 10 days, the already inverted code of this [current date-1] date has already been changed to "1".
Is determined, and if the value is already "1", the above determination is repeated. If the value is "0", the display of the holiday and the work day on the [current date-1] day is inverted. Set the code to “1”.

Also, at this time, the above-mentioned current date is set to this [current date-1].
Set to. In this case, for example, the pen (3) is moved diagonally to the lower right from the date of the down point of the first pen (3), e.
Suppose you have moved to the day. In this case, the 18th holiday and work day are highlighted, and then 17th, 16th, 15th, 14th, 13th and
Repeat the above 12 times and the above 6 times, then [Current date-1]
Becomes equal to the 10th day when the first pen (3) is down, so that the display of holidays and work days of the current date is inverted, and the already-inverted code is set to "1". Therefore, at this time, the pen (3) is moved obliquely to the lower right on the 18th day from the 10th day when the first pen (3) is down, as shown in FIG. Can be reversed at a time.

When the date of the down point of the current pen (3) is smaller than the date of the down point of the first pen (3), for example, 10 days, [current date + 1] is set to the date of the down point of the first pen (3), for example, 10 Judge if the day is equal. For example, when the pen (3) is moved on the 9th, it becomes equal. At this time, it is determined whether or not the reversed code of the current date is "1", and it is already changed, and the reversed code of "1" is already changed. When the reversed code is “0”, the display of holidays and work days of the current date is reversed, and the reversed code is set to “1”.
To

When this [current date + 1] is not equal to the first pen (3) down date, for example, 10 days, the already inverted code of this [current date + 1] date has already been changed to "1".
Is determined, and if the value is already “1”, the above determination is repeated. If the value is “0”, the display of the holiday and the work day of [current date + 1] is inverted, and the display is already inverted. Set the code to “1”. At this time, the current date is set to this [current date + 1]. In this case, for example, when the pen (3) is moved diagonally to the upper left two days from the date of the first pen (3) down point, for example, 10 days, the display of holidays and work days from 2 to 10 days can be reversed. it can. In other cases, it can be set at once in the same manner.

When the holiday setting is completed, the pen can be stored by touching the “end” button (48) of the holiday setting with the pen (3).

The other components of the electronic organizer are the same as those of the related art.

As described above, according to this example, various holidays and work days can be set at once, and there is an advantage that the operation of holiday setting becomes easy.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can adopt various other configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, there is an advantage that a holiday setting operation can be easily performed by designating a day of the week on the display unit.
