ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a data management system realizing simple, clear, and easily understandable display and operation. The data management system is applicable, for example, to management of name cards. In management of name cards, name card data (101) includes a plurality of name card records (100). A card summary record (110, 112) prepared as title data includes a card ID and part of item data included in each name card record (100). Each summarized card data (111, 113) includes a plurality of card summary records (110, 112) collected according to a predetermined condition, and is placed into a certain card box (120, 121). Each card box has a characteristic name such as `business` or `private`. Visually hierarchical display of data in the form of a card box list, a target list including a plurality of target data, and individual name card data helps the user clearly understand the whole data display and data retrieval. This allows quick access to a desired name card. The target list is data having a fixed length and used on a memory, thereby realizing high-speed data retrieval and display. The system of the invention further includes a data maintenance mechanism and an auto-dialing mechanism.
