Abstract

A schedule displaying device is provided with a comparator and a controller in addition to a memory, an input device, a display, and a timer. Thus, the scheduled plans are stored and displayed together with the respective scheduled time in a corresponding manner and in time sequence. Moreover, the number of the scheduled plans is arranged to be counted and displayed for each day of the week in the schedule displaying device.

Claims

1. A schedule displaying device, comprising:

means for storing a plurality of scheduled plans together with corresponding scheduled time data thereof using a unit smaller than the year, said plurality of scheduled plans being stored in said storing means in time sequence;

means for inputting said plurality of scheduled plans and corresponding scheduled time data into said storing means;

means for simultaneously displaying said plurality of scheduled plans and corresponding scheduled time data stored in said storing means in an order that is identical to an order in which said plurality of scheduled plans and corresponding scheduled time data is stored in said storing means;

means for counting time;

means for comparing said inputted corresponding scheduled time data with a current time counted by said counting time means; and

means for controlling said storing means, upon receipt of a signal form said comparing means, to store one schedule plan, in which said one schedule plan is time sequenced after already-stored schedule plans when a scheduled time of said one schedule plan is precedent to said current time, and for controlling said storing means to store said one schedule plan so that said one schedule plan is time sequenced with respect to said plurality of scheduled plans stored in said storing means when said scheduled time of said one schedule plan is after said current time.

2. The schedule displaying device of claim 1, wherein said storing means comprises a memory.

3. The schedule displaying device of claim 1, wherein said display means comprises an LCD display.

4. The schedule displaying device of claim 1, wherein said inputting means comprises a keyboard.

5. The schedule displaying device of claim 1, wherein said inputted scheduled plans and time data are sorted in date order representing a next year when said scheduled time of said scheduled plan is after said current time.

6. The schedule displaying device of claim 1, further comprising means for producing an alarm indication when an anniversary day occurs.

7. The schedule displaying device, comprising:

means for storing a plurality of scheduled plans that correspond to respective scheduled times, which include a day of a period of time;

means for counting the number of plurality of scheduled plans stored in said storing means for each day;

means for determining said day of a predetermined period of time that corresponds to said day;

a display; and

means for controlling said display to display said number of plurality of scheduled plans counted by said counting means, together with an indication of said day of said predetermined period of time obtained by said calculating means.

8. The schedule displaying device of claim 7, wherein said storing means comprises a memory.

9. The schedule displaying device of claim 7, wherein said display comprises an LCD display.

10. The schedule displaying device of claim 7, wherein said predetermined period of time comprises a week.

11. The schedule displaying device of claim 7, further comprising means for producing an alarm indication when an anniversary day occurs.

12. The schedule displaying device, comprising:

a memory for storing a plurality of scheduled plans together with scheduled time data thereof;

means for inputting said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data into said memory;

a display for displaying said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data stored in said memory in an order that is identical to an order in which said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data has been stored in said memory;

means for generating time count signals;

means for comparing said inputted scheduled time data with a current time indicated by said time count signal generating means; and

means for controlling said memory upon receipt of a signal from said comparing means, to store one schedule plan in a manner in which said one schedule plane is time sequenced after already-stored schedule plans when a scheduled time of said one schedule plan is precedent to said current time, and for controlling said memory to store said one schedule plan in such a manner that said one schedule plan is time sequenced with respect to said plurality of scheduled plans stored in said memory when said scheduled time of said one schedule plan is after said current time.

13. The schedule displaying device of claim 12, further comprising means for generating an alarm signal.

14. The schedule displaying device of claim 13, wherein said alarm signal generating means comprises a buzzer.

15. The schedule displaying device, comprising:

means for storing a plurality of scheduled plans together with scheduled time data thereof using a unit smaller than the year. said plurality of scheduled plans being stored in said storing means in time sequence;

means for inputting said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data into said storing means;

means for simultaneously displaying said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data stored in said storing means in an order that is identical to an order in which said plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data is stored in said storing means;

means for counting time;

means for comparing said inputted scheduled time data with a current time counted by said counting time means; and

means for controlling said storing means, upon receipt of a signal from said comparing means, to store one schedule plan in a manner in which said one schedule plan is time sequenced after already-stored schedule plans when a scheduled time of said one schedule plan is precedent to said current time, and for controlling said storing means to store said one schedule plan in such a manner that said one schedule plan is time sequenced with respect to said plurality of scheduled plans stored in said storing means when said scheduled time of said one schedule plan is after said current time, said inputted plurality of scheduled plans and scheduled time data being sorted in date order representing a next year when said scheduled time of said one schedule plan is after said current time.
