Abstract
Abstract In an electronic scheduler, date, time and schedule contents are stored in a memory, and then schedule data are read out from the memory to be displayed on a display unit. The electronic scheduler is arranged by a memory device for storing plural of the schedule data by combining at least time range data with corresponding schedule information, an entry device for entering time data as searching information into the electronic scheduler, a comparator for comparing the entered time data with the time range of the respective schedule data stored in the memory device so as to judge whether or not the schedule data corresponds to data to be searched, and a display unit for displaying the corresponding schedule data in response to the judgement result by the comparator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
An electronic scheduler, comprising: memory means for storing plural schedule data, including means for combining at least time range data defined by first time data and second time data with corresponding schedule information; means for entering time data as searching information into the electronic scheduler; means for judging whether or not the time data entered by said entering means is present between the first time data and the second time data of the schedule data stored in said memory means; and means for displaying schedule data with time range data defined by said first and said second time data when said judging means judges that the entered time data corresponds to a time between the first time data and the second time data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
An electronic scheduler, comprising: memory means for storing plural schedule data, including means for combining at least time range data defined by first time data and second time data with corresponding schedule information; means for entering time data as searching information into the electronic scheduler; means for judging whether or not the time data entered by said entering means is present between the first time data and the second time data of the schedule data stored in said memory means; and means for displaying schedule data with time range data defined by said first and said second time data when said judging means judges that the entered time data corresponds to a time between the first time data and the second time data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 1, wherein the schedule data stored in said memory means contains the date data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 2, further comprising: means for entering the date data; and means for judging whether or not the entered date data is coincident with the date data of the respective schedule data, whereby the time range is compared only for the coincident date schedule data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
110 words
An electronic scheduler, comprising: first memory means for storing plural schedule data, including means for combining date data and time data with schedule information; means for entering time data; means for reading out time data from schedule data stored in said first memory means; means for judging whether or not a relationship exists between entered time data and time data read out by said reading means; means for defining a day having associated time data that is judged by said judging means as having no relationship to the entered time data, as a no-schedule day; and means for outputting the day defined as a no-schedule day by said defining means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
An electronic scheduler, comprising: first memory means for storing plural schedule data, including means for combining date data and time data with schedule information; means for entering time data; means for reading out time data from schedule data stored in said first memory means; means for judging whether or not a relationship exists between entered time data and time data read out by said reading means; means for defining a day having associated time data that is judged by said judging means as having no relationship to the entered time data, as a no-schedule day; and means for outputting the day defined as a no-schedule day by said defining means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 4, further comprising: means for entering first date data; second memory means for storing the first date data entered by said entering means; means for increasing the date data stored in the second memory means by one day; means for comparing the date data stored in the second memory means with the date of the schedule data stored in said first memory means; and means for operating said judging means to indicate a relationship when said comparing means detects a coincident result.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 5, further comprising: means for entering second date data, and means for controlling said increasing means to increase the first date data stored in said second memory means by said second date data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 5, further comprising: means for storing rank data related to each schedule data stored in said first memory means; and means for detecting a relatively low level rank from among the rank data stored in said rank data storing means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
50 words
An electronic scheduler according to claim 7, further comprising: means for determining a day associated with a low level rank as detected by said detecting means, as a no-schedule day, when said defining means fails to define a no-schedule day among the schedule data stored in said first memory means.
