  • Patent number: 5220540
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a key input device, a display device, a schedule data memory for storing schedule data attached with a data and a time within the date inputted from the key input device by the day, a time calculator for calculating a present date and time based on a date and time initially set, an alarm setting device for setting a requisition of alarm in a schedule data of a desired data and time included in the schedule data stored in the schedule data memory, a comparator for comparing the present date and time outputted from the time calculator with the date and time attached to the schedule data set with the requisition of the alarm by the alarm setting device and a display controller for simultaneously displaying the schedule data set with the requisition of the alarm and other schedule data being adjacent to said schedule data when the result of the comparison by the comparator is conformable.

  • Patent number: 5050115
    Abstract: An electrical calculator includes an inputting element for inputting numerical data. This input may include at least first and second unit data which are in the same category but are different levels such that the first unit is higher in level than the second unit. The calculator inhibits the entering of the higher level unit data when the higher level unit data is inputted immediately after entering numerical data followed by a lower level unit data.
