Abstract

Abstract A plurality of memory areas (29a-29e) which store various type of information having different formats such as address information, schedule information, memo information in units of type of information are provided. Information stored in one of memory areas (29a-29e) can be displayed on the display section (32) by operating one of mode designate keys (7-11) each of which corresponds to each information to select a function mode. Information stored in another of memory areas (29a-29e) can be registered and/or retrieved by using a data item such as a person's name consisting of part of the designated information by operating a menu key (16) and menu selection key, i.e., ten key (4) during when the designated information is being displayed in a designated function mode. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 220 words
An information managing apparatus characterized by comprising: means (4, 5, 21) for inputting various types of information, each consisting of a plurality of data items; a plurality of storing means (29a-29e), each having storage areas in which said plurality of data items of one type of information are stored and for independently storing said data items of one type of information which is input from said inputting means (4, 5, 21); first designating means (7-11, 12) for designating one of said storing means so as to display selectively information stored in the designated one of said storing means (29a-29e); means (32) for displaying said information stored in that one of said storing means (29a-29e) designated by said first designating means (7-11, 12); second designating means (16, 4) for designating a mode in which information is to be registered into and retrieved from another of said storing means (29a-29e) while said displaying means (32) is displaying said information designated by said first designating means (7-11, 12); and means (CPU) for executing registration of a specified data item of information which is being displayed into said another of said storing means (29a-29e) and retrieval of said specified data item of information from said another of said storing means (29a-29e) in accordance with said mode designated by said second designated means (16, 4).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 38 words
