Abstract
Abstract A plurality of different types of data that are optionally inputted by corresponding data input devices are treated as data associated with a single page. These data for each page are written at designated addresses in a flash memory 33 . Then the plurality of different types of data associated with the page stored in the flash memory 33 are written in a display memory 50 for display as the data of the associated page. When the data are written in the display memory 50 , a writing order is set for writing the data in the display memory 50 based on the types of data associated with the page that are stored in the flash memory 33 . The data are successively written in the display memory 50 according to the order and then displayed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
A data processing apparatus for collecting and displaying inputted data and storing the inputted data, the data processing apparatus comprising: data input devices each optionally inputting a respective one of a plurality of different kinds of data; a data storage device coupled to the data input devices to store data to be displayed in a common display area of a display screen as mutually associated data at designated addresses when the data are optionally inputted; a display storage device coupled to the data storage device to store the data stored in the data storage device as display data to be displayed in the display area; an erasing device that erases the inputted data; and a control device coupled to control the data input devices, the data storage device, the display storage device and the erasing device, wherein when the plurality of the associated different kinds of data stored in the data storage device are written in the display storage device as one screen of display data, the control device sets a writing order for the different kinds of inputted data, and the control device successively stores the different kinds of data in the display storage device according to the order and displays the different kinds of data in the display area, and when inputted data is to be erased, the erasing device is operated so that only the desired kind of inputted data displayed in the common display area is erased.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
241 words
A data processing apparatus for collecting and displaying inputted data and storing the inputted data, the data processing apparatus comprising: data input devices each optionally inputting a respective one of a plurality of different kinds of data; a data storage device coupled to the data input devices to store data to be displayed in a common display area of a display screen as mutually associated data at designated addresses when the data are optionally inputted; a display storage device coupled to the data storage device to store the data stored in the data storage device as display data to be displayed in the display area; an erasing device that erases the inputted data; and a control device coupled to control the data input devices, the data storage device, the display storage device and the erasing device, wherein when the plurality of the associated different kinds of data stored in the data storage device are written in the display storage device as one screen of display data, the control device sets a writing order for the different kinds of inputted data, and the control device successively stores the different kinds of data in the display storage device according to the order and displays the different kinds of data in the display area, and when inputted data is to be erased, the erasing device is operated so that only the desired kind of inputted data displayed in the common display area is erased.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
68 words
A data processing apparatus as defined in claim 1 , wherein two erasing devices are provided, and wherein when one of the erasing devices is operated, only a designated one of the inputted data to be displayed on the common display area is erased, and when both of the erasing devices are operated, all of the inputted data to be displayed on the common display area are erased.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
177 words
A data processing method for collecting and displaying inputted data and storing the inputted data, the data processing method comprising the steps of: storing data optionally inputted to be displayed in a common display area on a display screen as mutually associated data in designated addresses in a data storage device; writing in a display storage device the plurality of the associated different kinds of data in the data storage device as one screen of display data to be displayed in the common display area, wherein when writing the data in the display storage device, a writing order is set for writing in the display storage device the associated data stored in the data storage device, and the associated data are successively stored in the display storage device according to the writing order and displayed in the display area; and providing an erasing device for erasing the inputted data, wherein when the data is erased, the erasing device is operated so that only the desired kind of inputted data displayed on the common display area is erased.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
177 words
A data processing method for collecting and displaying inputted data and storing the inputted data, the data processing method comprising the steps of: storing data optionally inputted to be displayed in a common display area on a display screen as mutually associated data in designated addresses in a data storage device; writing in a display storage device the plurality of the associated different kinds of data in the data storage device as one screen of display data to be displayed in the common display area, wherein when writing the data in the display storage device, a writing order is set for writing in the display storage device the associated data stored in the data storage device, and the associated data are successively stored in the display storage device according to the writing order and displayed in the display area; and providing an erasing device for erasing the inputted data, wherein when the data is erased, the erasing device is operated so that only the desired kind of inputted data displayed on the common display area is erased.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
A data processing method as defined in claim 3 , wherein two erasing devices are provided, and wherein when one of the erasing devices is operated, only a designated one of the inputted data to be displayed on the common display area is erased, and when both of the erasing devices are operated, all of the inputted data to be displayed on the common display are erased.
