  • Patent number: 5901074
    Abstract: A calculation data display device includes a display which displays input calculation data in colors. When specified calculation data is input, the calculation data display device displays the calculation data input after the specified calculation data in a color different from a regular color. The calculation data displayed in the different color is operated as calculation data belonging to the specified calculation data. First, when the specified calculation data is input in the calculation data inputting process, the calculation data input after the specified calculation data is displayed in a color different from the regular one until the user inputs releasing data. When the input calculation data is operated, the data displayed in the color different from the regular one is operated as the data belonging to the specified data input immediately before the data displayed in the different color.

  • Patent number: 5729699
    Abstract: A display system comprising a display and a memory for storing a plurality of evaluation data relating to a plurality of types of clothing and accessories. Each type of clothing and accessory has a respective plurality of colors. The display is controlled to display the plurality of types of clothing, a plurality of types of accessories to be carried, and the respective plurality of colors of each of the types of clothing and accessories. A designating device is provided for designating particular combinations of clothing and/or accessories. When a first article of clothing of a designated color is combined with a second article of clothing and its designated color, an evaluation of this combination is performed based on the stored plurality of evaluation data, and the resulting evaluation is displayed on the display.

  • Patent number: 5539867
    Abstract: A graph display apparatus wherein a dynamic invention has the following arrangement. A dynamic graph key in a key input unit is operated by a user and a functional formula subjected to graph calculation and a change range and a change pitch of a coefficient value present in the functional formula input using numeric. symbol keys are stored in a formula register in a RAM (Random Access Memory). When an execution key is operated in a state wherein a coefficient change speed is stored in a register, the coefficient value of the functional formula is sequentially replaced within the change range at the change pitch.
