Method of and apparatus for controlling the performance of timed functions

摘要

A method of and apparatus for controlling the selective performance of a plurality of predetermined functions at preselected times. Time and function data representing functions to be performed and the times at which such functions are to be performed are generated. This time and function data are stored in a memory at available storage locations. The stored data is compared to data which is produced by a clock and which represents the time of day then obtaining. If the actual time of day compares to stored time data, then the function represented by the stored function data which is associated with the stored time data is performed. If a particular function is no longer to be performed, or is to be changed, the data representing that function is located in the memory and is erased. New data representing another function and time of performance may then be stored in place of the erased data. The contents of the memory may be completely erased so as to delete all previously stored time and function data from the memory.
