  On the other hand, when the timing time is within the notification time range, the control unit 10 checks whether or not the alarm ringing time of the next day is stored in the storage unit 30 (S15). When the alarm ringing time of the next day is not stored, the control unit 10 notifies the fact that the alarm ringing time is not set by using the speaker 32 of the call unit 26 (S16), and ends the process. To do. This notification may be displayed in characters on the display unit 18 together with the voice or instead of the voice.

  In S15, when the next day alarm ringing time is stored, the control unit 10 acquires the next day alarm ringing time from the storage unit 30 (S17). The alarm ringing time is data input by the user through the operation unit 24 and stored in the storage unit 30 by the control unit 10. Moreover, the control part 10 confirms whether the manner mode which restrict | limits an alarm ringing is set (S18). Here, the restriction of the alarm sounding is that the alarm is not sounded, and the vibrator may be activated instead of the alarm.

  If the manner mode is set in S18, the control unit 10 notifies the fact that the manner mode is set by using the speaker 32 of the call unit 26 (S19), and ends the process. . This notification may be displayed in characters on the display unit 18 together with the voice or instead of the voice. By this notification, the user can obtain motivation to perform an appropriate operation such as canceling the manner mode.

  On the other hand, if the manner mode is not set in S18, the control unit 10 notifies the alarm ringing time acquired in S17 by voice using the speaker 32 of the calling unit 26 (S20). This notification may be displayed in characters on the display unit 18 together with the voice or instead of the voice. The user can obtain the motivation to confirm the alarm ringing time and correct it if necessary by the notification.

  The control unit 10 instructs the alarm generation unit 14 at the alarm ringing time to ring the alarm at the time (S21). Thereby, when the portable terminal is attached to the charging device within the range of the notification time, an alarm can be sounded at a preset alarm sounding time.

  In this case, the alarm generation unit 14 may be configured to ring on the date registered in advance in the storage unit 30 by the scheduler 16. For example, if the alarm generator 14 is ringed from Monday to Friday and is not ringed on Saturdays and Sundays, it can be used to wake up in accordance with work days. In this case, when there is a holiday between Monday and Friday, it is preferable that the scheduler 16 restricts the ringing of the alarm generation unit 14 on that day. When it is necessary to ring the alarm generation unit 14 on Saturday or Sunday, it is preferable that the alarm generation unit 14 be ringed on the day by the scheduler 16. Thereby, it can respond flexibly to daily life. For this reason, the convenience of the portable terminal in daily life can be improved.
