Summary: | This application claims the benefit of Japanese Application No. 10-179851, filed Jun. 26, 1998, in the Japanese Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
To accomplish an easier date entry operation, a date entry system is provided to enter a date including a month and a day into an information device. The system basically comprises a date acquiring element for acquiring a current date and a date specifying element for specifying the date including the month and the day on the basis of data indicative of the day entered and the current date acquired. Preferably, the system further comprises a member storing a parameter for specifying a range of dates into which a user is allowed to set the date, and a date-range deciding element for deciding the range of dates on the parameter under the acquired current date being set as a reference day, wherein the date specifying element is configured so as to specify the date including the month and the day based on a date residing within the range of dates decided. For example, the date specifying element is configured to input the specified date into a program executed by the information device. Also a computer-readable medium into which a program providing the above functions is recorded is available. |
