ABSTRACT:
When the user specifies the hours, minutes at which the system is to be started automatically, the year, month, day-of-month that the system is to be started automatically is determined by determining whether or not the specified hours, minutes has already passed the actual hours, minutes at the point in time at which the user specified the time. The determined year, month, day-of-month and the hours, minutes specified by the user are stored in a nonvolatile memory. In an RTC device, at least the hours, minutes of the year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes stored in the memory can be set. When the actual hours, minutes has reached the set hours, minutes, the RTC device generates an alarm. When the RTC has generated an alarm, it is judged whether or not the actual year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes at the point in time at which the alarm was generated coincides with the year, month, day-of-month, hours, minutes stored in the memory. If they coincide with each other, the automatic start-up of the system will be executed.
