  • Patent number: 4580235
    Abstract: An electronic calculator with a check function has at least two display parts. A calculating formula inputted with keys is continuously indicated on one display part. At the same time, operated result data corresponding to the data indicated on the one display part is indicated on the remaining display part. Some data of the inputted calculating formula may be amended during the display and replay of the formula, and the corrected final result data is indicated on the display.

  • Patent number: 4455024
    Abstract: An electronic game apparatus having a display unit which is capable of displaying at least a series of numbers and decimal points the number of which is equal to the number of the series of numbers. Among the numbers, any number part of which is not displayed is defined as a target. The target is shifted toward one direction. With one of the function keys, a missile the shape of which corresponds to the non-displayed portion of the target is shifted toward a direction opposite to that of the target. When the non-displayed portion of the target is hit by the missile so as to complete the figure, the decimal point in an effective firing range (display frame or digit) where a missile digit and a target digit coincide disappears. Thus, points are made. The game continues until the missiles which have been given at the start of the game are used up. Points at each stage are added and final score is displayed when the game is over.

  • Patent number: 4336598
    Abstract: When a key of a key-in section is operated and when an operation unit produces the result of operation, a display is performed on the basis of the keyed-in data and the operation result data stored in the memory unit, while at the same time the notes corresponding to the data are sounded under control of a sound control circuit.

  • Patent number: 4181963
    Abstract: An electronic calculator with a time counting function has an input section for inputting various data control signals. When the input section inputs given data or control signals, a given calculating operation is performed in a calculating circuit in accordance with these input signals under control of a calculating control circuit. The electronic calculator comprises an oscillator for outputting a reference frequency signal, a frequency dividing circuit by which an output signal from the oscillator is frequency-divided to produce a given time counting signal, and a time counting circuit in which a time counting operation is executed by the time counting signal from the frequency divider. A holding circuit for holding a time counting signal from said frequency divider is inserted between the frequency divider and the time counting circuit.
