Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information management device capable of registering and retrieving data such as name, address, and telephone number.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Recently, there has been known a device such as a calculator with a data bank function for storing a name and a telephone number and searching them. on the other hand,
In my daily life, I sometimes exchange business cards with the person I met for the first time, but in order to remember when I met that person, I often write the date on the business card I got. Therefore, in the above calculator with data bank function, in order to store the date and time, it is necessary to check the date and time by a clock or the like, and then input the data as general data. It was inconvenient as there was also. Further, in the calculator with the data bank function, when inputting a name and a telephone number, it is searched whether or not the same data as the data such as the name and the telephone number is already stored,
If the same data is input when the same data does not exist, there is a problem that the same data is duplicated and stored when the data is input without performing the data search.

[Object of the Invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points. When inputting data such as a business card, date and time data are automatically input, and when the same data is present, duplication is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information management device that can store the input date data as search data without storing it.

[Main points of the invention]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides an information management device with a timekeeping function, and when inputting data such as a name, determines whether the same data is already stored, and the same data is stored. When is not recorded, the date and time data can be automatically incorporated and registered and stored.

Example of Invention

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a key input unit and a numeric key 1
a, character key 1b, symbol key 1c, ▲ [read] ▼ key 1d,
▲ [Registration] ▼ key 1e, ▲ [Search] ▼ key 1f, ▲ [Change] ▼ key 1g, etc. are provided. When various keys of the key input unit 1 are pressed, the key determination unit 2 determines the type of key and sends a signal to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 stores various control programs, supplies a sampling signal to the key input unit 1, and also a data reader unit 4, a recognition unit 5,
A control command is given to the clock unit 6. The data reader unit 4 directly reads a character written on a business card or the like as an image using a sensor, recognizes it by a recognition unit 5, and converts it into coded data. This data is input to the data editing unit 7, and at the same time, the date data at the time of input from the clock unit 6 is also input to the data editing unit 7 and is sent to the processing RAM 8 and the display buffer 9 after the data is organized and edited. It The data input to the display buffer 9 is displayed on the display unit 10 and it can be confirmed whether or not the data is input correctly. Further, when data is input by key, the control unit 3 sends and receives a signal to and from the execution pointer 11 to send the data input to the input buffer 12 to the processing RAM 8 and the display buffer 9.

13 is a data storage unit, as shown in FIG.
Data such as telephone numbers and company names are stored. An address is designated in the data storage unit 13 by a storage unit address counter 14, and the storage unit address counter 14 resets and counts up with a signal from the control unit 3.

The comparison and determination section 15 determines whether the data in the processing RAM 8 and the data in the data storage section 13 designated by the storage section address counter 14 are the same. If they are the same, the symbol mark 10a on the display section is displayed. Is turned on and a signal to be notified by the buzzer 16 is sent.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a comparison item control unit which determines whether the data stored in the data storage unit 13 is the same for the items of data input to the item register 17a provided therein.
Control is performed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. Data registration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. For example, 85 October 25 business cards met with fourth business card of the person shown in the figure as was Moraitsu, ▲ in step S ₁ [read] ▼
When the key 1d is pressed, the key determination unit 2 determines that it is an execution key and sends a signal to the control unit 3. Since the control unit 3 gives a control signal to the data reader unit 4, it becomes ready for input.

In step S ₂ , the characters on the business card are read as an image by the data reader unit 4 using a sensor or the like, and converted into coded data by the recognition unit 5. In step S _3, inputs the date data from the encoded data and the clock unit in step S ₂ to the data editing unit proceeds to step S ₄ After editing, it sends data to the processing RAM 8.

In step S _5, the read input to the processing RAM8 data and the data in the data storage unit 13 to the comparing and judging section 15 judges whether or not data other than the date at step S ₆ matches. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S _7, the data in the data storage unit 13 determines whether the Zantsu. If the data is Zantsu proceeds to step S _8, the flow returns to step S ₅ to the storage unit address counter 14 counts up-. In step S ₅ , the input data and the next data in the data storage unit 13 are read and compared. In this way, if all the data stored in the data storage unit 13 are compared and there is no match, the step is executed.
In S _7, it is determined that there is no data, and in step S ₉ , this input data is registered in the data storage unit 13 as shown in FIG.

If there are data of "Kazuo Sato" in the data storage unit 13 as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that there the same data at step S _6, the buzzer 16 and displays the symbol mark 10a proceeds to step S ₁₀ Sounds to inform you.

At this time, if the ▲ [Register] ▼ key 1e is pressed, step S ₁₁
At ▲ [Registration] ▼ is determined that there is the key, the data of the input process proceeds to step S ₉ "Kazuo Sato" is newly data storage already as FIG. 6 as a separate data and what is input It is stored at the new address of part 13.

▲ [search] ▼ If the key 1f is pressed is determined that there is ▲ [search] ▼ key at step S _12, the process proceeds to step S _8. And returns to step S ₅ to the storage unit address counter 14 counts up-and start again compared whether the remaining data of the data storage unit 13 is of the same content.

▲ [registration] ▼ key, ▲ [search] ▼ separately ▲ [change] is the key ▼ the key 1g is pressed, it is determined that there is ▲ [change] ▼ key at step S ₁₃ proceeds to the step S _14, the first As shown in A'of FIG.
Registered in 13.

The data registration is completed when the symbol mark displayed at step S ₁₅ is reset.

The case of searching the entered information by date
A description will be given according to the flowchart in the figure. It is assumed that the information shown in FIG. 5 has been input to the data storage unit 13. Here date ▲ [8] ▼ ▲ [5] ▼ ▲ [0] ▼ ▲ [6] ▼ ▲
When each key is pressed with [1] ▼ ▲ [2] ▼ ▲ [Search] ▼, the key determination unit 2 sends a signal for each key to the control unit 3, and the control unit 3 uses the date data. A control command is issued to perform a search. And the date data is for processing
After being written to the RAM 8, is input to the item register 17a in comparison items control unit 17 (step S _21, S _22). Step S ₂₃
Storage unit address counter 14 in Upon reset, read the date data of the data storage unit 13 proceeds to step S _24, and displays the date wait data if it matches the date determination step S _25. First, since the data shown by B in FIG. 5 is as of June 12, 1985, the data of "Masaru Tanaka" is displayed. Since the data in the storage unit in step S ₂₇ to determine whether the Zantsu, compare the following data proceeds in this case step S ₂₈ it is determined that there is remaining data. Since the data of the following A also have the same date, the data of "Kazuo Sato" is also displayed. Then, after comparing all the data in this way, the search process ends, and it is understood that the people who met on June 12, 1985 are Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Sato.

In the above embodiment, if the same data has already been input at the time of data input, only the date data is replaced with the ▲ [Change] ▼ key. The newly entered data may not be registered without changing the existing data.

In addition, if the date data storage area is increased so that the date is stored each time the person is met, it is possible to find out who and when he / she met, and use it as his / her own behavior management device.

Further, it goes without saying that not only the date data but also the time data counted by the clock unit can be stored.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when inputting data to the information management device, it is determined whether or not the same data is already stored, and if the same data is not recorded, the date and time data is automatically recorded. Since it was stored in memory, it will be possible to use that data to find out who met in what year and month, and to investigate when it was when you met your husband. Therefore, the same data is not stored redundantly, and the utility value of the information management device is increased.
