A small electronic apparatus such as an electronic organizer, electronic memo, etc. is disclosed which has a memory for storing data, and a communication unit for transmitting data stored in the memory to another electronic apparatus, and for receiving data from the other electronic apparatus. The apparatus selects, before transmitting at least one portion of said data, either of an add mode (transmitted data is added to data stored in the other electronic apparatus) and a update mode (data stored in the other electronic apparatus is replaced with the transmitted data). The apparatus has a signal unit for, when the add mode is selected, transmitting a first signal indicative that the add mode is selected to the other electronic apparatus, and for, when the update mode is selected, transmitting a second signal indicative that the update mode is selected to the other electronic apparatus. The apparatus displays data which has been transmitted when a data transmission error has occurred.

Electronic apparatus with remote data supplementation/update selection

A schedule displaying device is provided with a comparator and a controller in addition to a memory, an input device, a display, and a timer. Thus, the scheduled plans are stored and displayed together with the respective scheduled time in a corresponding manner and in time sequence. Moreover, the number of the scheduled plans is arranged to be counted and displayed for each day of the week in the schedule displaying device.

Schedule displaying device

In a hand held processing apparatus, there is a central processing unit (CPU) arranged to include a calculating mode for performing calculations and a memorandum pad mode for storing data and for reading the stored data in response to the operation of a reading key. The CPU can be changed to the memory pad mode by the operation of a reading key, so that the reading of the data of the memorandum is started with an easy operation.

Hand held data processing apparatus

An improved electronic apparatus such as a so-called electronic memo or data book is disclosed. In the apparatus, a numeric string such as a telephone number can be stored together with two kinds of character strings such as a person name and a company name. The apparatus has a memory for storing a portion of data displayed on a display, and the portion of data can used as a search key in the subsequent search operation. The apparatus allows a user to easily utilize the called results of either a sequential search or a direct search in a subsequent direct search and to change the mode to a sequential search at any desired point during execution of a direct search.

Small electronic memo data storage, display and recall apparatus

In a data processing device of the handy type having a central processing unit (CPU) arranged to include a calculating mode for performing calculation and a memorandum pad mode for storing data and for reading the stored data in response to the operation of a reading key, the CPU can be changed to the memorandum pad mode by a operation of a reading key so that reading of the data of the memorandum is started with easy operation.
