DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
S, a timer alarm function provided to a portable communication device such as a pager allows a user to passively know the arrival of a set specific time even when falling asleep in a train or the like. The present invention relates to a portable communication device having a timer alarm function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been the following techniques. (A) Timer alarm technology used at home and on travel to prevent oversleeping. (B) Timer alarm technology mainly used in kitchens and kitchens to prevent over-cooking. (C) The technology of ordinary portable communication equipment without a timer alarm function.

In general, it often happens that people do not wake up at the destination station and miss the train. (D) In particular, if you overtake it late at night, the last train in the opposite direction has already stopped operating, and you may have to spend a large amount of money, such as having to return by taxi. On the other hand, conventional portable communication devices are supposed to be always carried and used easily, but conventional portable communication devices do not have a timer alarm function. It used to generate an alarm at a specific time, making it impossible to passively know the arrival of the time.

[0004]

A conventional portable communication device has a timer alarm function which is a combined function of a time setting function and a function of issuing an alarm at a specific time set using the time setting function. In this way, the user of the portable communication device with the timer alarm function can use the timer alarm function provided on the portable communication device easily on a train, etc. To be able to know. It is generally accepted that an alarm sound of a portable communication device sounds even in places where there is an unspecified number of people, such as on a road or in a train, except for places where people listen to sounds such as concert venues. Therefore, the user of the portable communication device with the timer alarm function does not feel embarrassed because the alarm sound of the portable communication device with the timer alarm function sounds. In addition, if a portable communication device with a vibration function is provided with a timer alarm function, only the user of the portable communication device with a vibration function with a timer alarm function will emit no alarm sound around. By using the vibration function of a portable communication device with a vibration function having a timer alarm function, it is possible to passively know the arrival of a set specific time.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention are as follows. (B) Using the time setting function of the portable communication device with the timer alarm function, the time at which the portable communication device with the timer alarm function issues an alarm is set. (B) Attach a portable communication device with a timer alarm function to a breast pocket or the like.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (B) A time setting function and a function of issuing an alarm at a set specific time are installed in portable communication devices such as a mobile phone, a PHS, and a pager. The present invention is a device as described above. When using the device, a time at which an alarm is issued is set by using a time setting function of the device, and the main body is attached to a breast pocket or the like. By doing this,
The arrival of the set time can be passively known by an alarm issued at a set specific time. Further, another embodiment of the present invention will be described below. (B) A portable computer with a communication function as a kind of portable communication device may have a timer alarm function.

[0007]

The timer alarm function can be used easily and without embarrassing on a train or the like,
It is possible to passively know the arrival of a specific time that has been set.
