An apparatus for notifying a user of information by using sound or silent medium includes a scheduler which determines an alarm time by the user's operation and a selector which selects a single mode from a sound mode and a silent mode comprising a beep silent mode, a modified silent mode, and a fully silent mode. The sound mode uses at least the sound medium to notify the user of the information, and the silent mode uses the silent medium to notify the user of the information. When either the sound mode or the beep silent mode has been selected, the apparatus makes a beep reminder at the alarm time. When the modified silent mode has been selected, the sound reminder is made at a time when a selection of the silent mode is reset after the alarm time has passed. When the fully silent mode has been selected, a silent reminder such as a visual or a vibration reminder is made at the alarm time. |
