The alert signal is generated when the device is within a certain distance from a predefined location taking into account the fact that certain tasks or actions can only be taken when the user is at this location. Thus, the invention provides a device for generating an alert signal comprising: positioning means for updating and storing an actual position of the device; location storage means for storing the location of a place of interest; means for storing a request for an alert signal associated with the location of a place of interest; and trigger means for comparing the actual position of the device with the location of a place of interest and triggering generation of said alert signal when the distance between the actual position of the device and the location of a place of interest is less than a predetermined value. The device is suitably a mobile telephone. |
