Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a user apparatus, a control method thereof, and a recording medium on which a computer program is recorded.

The present invention relates to a user apparatus, a control method thereof, and a recording medium on which a computer program is recorded. In particular, when a user wants to check a text message at a specific point in time, A control method thereof, and a recording medium on which a computer program is recorded.

A portable electronic device is an electronic device that is portable and has one or more of voice and video call functions, information input / output functions, and data storing functions.

Since the portable electronic device has various functions, for example, it is implemented as a multimedia device having a complex function such as photographing or video shooting, playing music or video file, receiving game, broadcasting, .

In order to implement complex functions in multimedia devices, various new attempts have been made in terms of hardware or software.

To support and enhance the functionality of such portable electronic devices, it may be considered to improve the structural and / or software portions of the terminal.

The user sometimes wants to check the text message transmitted through the portable electronic device at a specific point in time.

For example, when the portable electronic device receives a payment text message at a specific point in time from the bank, the user has a request to reconfirm the payment text message at a specific point in time for payment to be transferred to the bank account.

To this end, the user can transmit a character reservation to a text message to be scheduled to be paid to him / her at a desired point through a character forwarding function (Forward function). However, this is inconvenient in terms of managing the text message since it creates a new text message with the sender as the originator. Because the sender of the text message is not the bank, but the person himself.

Alternatively, the user may set an alarm by delivering a text message to be scheduled to the calendar application. That is, the user can register the payment due date as the schedule of the schedule management application and check the payment due date at a desired time. However, if the alarm sounds by the calendar application, the user can not immediately check the text message by canceling the alarm. That is, the user can only confirm the screen of the schedule management application by canceling the alarm. Therefore, it is troublesome for the user to find the desired text message by looking at the calendar title registered in the calendar application. That is, the user has to go through a cumbersome process of clearing an alarm, checking a calendar application, and searching for a specific text message in order to check a text message to be confirmed at a specific point in time.

Therefore, there is a need to introduce a method in which a user can directly confirm a text message to be confirmed at a specific time by a simple method.
