Abstract
Abstract A date data processor verifies whether an inputted date data exists or not. Inputted date data is stored in an input register which is composed of three sections according to month, day and year. A first calculating unit calculates the days difference between the inputted date data and a reference date, and the results are temporarily stored. A second calculating unit then performs an inverse calculating to arrive at a date based on the previously calculated days difference. The resulting date is compared with the inputted date to complete the verification.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A date data processing system comprising first memory means for storing a date to be processed, means for calculating a difference in days from a reference date to said date, means for producing an inversely-calculated date by inversely-calculating a date from said difference in days and said reference date, second memory means for storing said inversely-calculated date, means for comparing the contents of said first memory means with the contents of said second memory means, and wherein said first memory means retains said date to be processed at least until termination of comparison by said comparing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A date data processing system comprising first memory means for storing a date to be processed, means for calculating a difference in days from a reference date to said date, means for producing an inversely-calculated date by inversely-calculating a date from said difference in days and said reference date, second memory means for storing said inversely-calculated date, means for comparing the contents of said first memory means with the contents of said second memory means, and wherein said first memory means retains said date to be processed at least until termination of comparison by said comparing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The system according to claim 1, in which said reference date is Mar. 1, 1900.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
The system according to claim 1, wherein said means for calculating comprises a days calculating unit, a first register and a second register, said days calculating unit being connected to transfer the contents of said first memory means to said first register, said first register being composed of three sections according to month, day and year, said days calculating unit computing in succession, the difference between the date to be processed and the reference date in years, months in excess of said years, and days in excess of said years and months, the product of said last mentioned years and 365.25 and the product of said excess months and 30.6 and then summing the integer parts of said products with said excess days and storing the result in said second register.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
121 words
The system according to claim 3, wherein said means for producing comprises an inverse calculating unit, said first register and said second register, said inverse-calculating unit being connected to compute a date from the days difference stored in said second register and storing the result in said first register, said inverse-calculating unit computing in succession the quotient of the contents of said second register and 365.25 and the quotient of the remainder of the first quotient and 30.6, the integer parts of said first and second quotients being stored in the years and months' sections, respectively, of said first register and the integer part of the remainder of said second quotient being stored in the days' section of said first register.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The system according to claim 4 wherein said inverse-calculating unit is further connected to transfer the calculated date stored in said first register to said second memory means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The system according to claim 4 wherein said second memory means is said first register.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein said means for comparing comprises an Exclusive OR gate connected to synchronously receive the contents of said first and second memory means.
