SNOOZING ALARM METHOD OF MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A snooze alarm method in a mobile terminal is provided to select an alarm function through a touch pad method without any additional snooze/alarm key and to use the screen of a mobile terminal as wide as possible using a pop-up window. If the alarm of a mobile terminal is activated at an appointed time, an appointed alarm sound rings together with an alarm animation(S20). If the user touches an arbitrary key within 2 minutes, the alarm stops and a pop-up window is displayed so that the user can set the alarm again(S60). If the user selects "alarm after 3 minutes" on the displayed pop-window(S80), the mobile terminal enters into a snooze state to activate the alarm after 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the alarm rings again for 2 minutes(S90). Also the pop-up window is displayed again. In case the user doesn't make any choice within two minutes, the mobile terminal checks whether no key input is generated for 1 hour(S45). If any key input is not generated for 1 hour, the mobile terminal releases the snooze state and inactivates the alarm in order to prevent the power consumption(S50).
