技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及移动通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种移动终端的定时提醒方法及移动终端。 The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a timing reminder method for a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal.

背景技术 Background technique

随着电子技术的不断发展，移动终端（如手机、PDA等）的功能越来越强大，越来越多的功能应用展现在用户面前供用户选择。随着现代都市生活的节奏越来越快，人们需要一位时间上的管家，以根据用户设置提醒用户按时执行待办事项。当前的移动终端基本都具备闹钟功能，用户往往只需要设定启动闹钟的时间、频次和选择启动闹钟的铃声即可完成基本的时间提醒功能，更近一步地，用户还可以设置提醒标签，那么当到达闹钟提醒时间时，电子终端将根据标签内容提醒用户具体操作，如某些日程事件等。 With the continuous development of electronic technology, the functions of mobile terminals (such as mobile phones, PDAs, etc.) are becoming more and more powerful, and more and more functional applications are displayed in front of users for users to choose. As the pace of modern urban life is getting faster and faster, people need a time steward to remind users to perform to-do items on time according to user settings. The current mobile terminals basically have an alarm clock function. Users often only need to set the time and frequency of starting the alarm clock and select the ringtone to start the alarm clock to complete the basic time reminder function. One step further, the user can also set a reminder label, then When the alarm clock reminder time is reached, the electronic terminal will remind the user of specific operations according to the content of the label, such as certain schedule events.

然而此类闹钟提醒功能只是为用户单纯的提供了一个提醒标签。用户使用提醒功能的用途通常有几类情况：1.朋友、亲人生日；2.工作会议、日程安排；3.商务交流；4.日常生活等。在以上几种情况下，用户在设定的提醒到期后，往往需要直接在终端上处理设定事项，如打电话为朋友送上生日祝福，通过终端发送电子邮件将商务安排通知到商业伙伴等。以生日祝福为例，目前的终端在用户设定的日期和时间到达后，只是通过振动或铃声方式提醒用户今天有朋友生日，需要打电话送上祝福。当用户在收到提醒后，需要先结束提醒，然后返回到终端桌面，找到拨号盘或联系人程序进行拨号，步骤较为繁琐，智能化程度不高，闹钟提醒功能显得枯燥和单一化。 However, this type of alarm clock reminder function simply provides a reminder label for the user. There are usually several types of purposes for users to use the reminder function: 1. Birthdays of friends and relatives; 2. Work meetings and schedule arrangements; 3. Business communication; 4. Daily life, etc. In the above situations, after the set reminder expires, the user often needs to deal with the setting items directly on the terminal, such as calling to send birthday wishes to friends, and sending emails through the terminal to notify business partners of business arrangements wait. Take birthday wishes as an example. After the date and time set by the user arrive, the current terminal only reminds the user through vibration or ringtone that a friend has a birthday today and needs to call to send blessings. When the user receives the reminder, he needs to end the reminder first, and then return to the terminal desktop to find the dial pad or contact program to dial. The steps are cumbersome and the degree of intelligence is not high.
