Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A mobile electronic device according to one embodiment includes a sounding module that performs alarm sounding and a controller that determines whether the mobile electronic device is in a moving state. When it is determined that the mobile electronic device is in the moving state, the controller disables the alarm sounding by the sounding module.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A mobile electronic device, comprising: a speaker configured to perform alarm sounding; and a controller configured to determine whether the mobile electronic device is in a moving state, wherein, in a situation where a snooze function that suspends the alarm sounding after initial alarm sounding by the speaker and resumes the alarm sounding after a lapse of a period of suspension is set, in response to a determination that the mobile electronic device has shifted to the moving state, the controller is configured to disable the initial alarm sounding by the speaker before execution of the snooze function, and wherein, in response to a determination that the mobile electronic device has made a transition from the moving state to a stationary state, the controller is configured to resume the alarm sounding. 2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the speaker to start the initial alarm sounding in response to a determination that the mobile electronic device is not in the moving state. 3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to disable the alarm sounding by cancelling the alarm sounding. 4. A control method for a mobile electronic device, the mobile electronic device having a speaker configured to perform alarm sounding, the control method comprising: determining whether the mobile electronic device is in a moving state; in a situation where a snooze function that suspends the alarm sounding after initial alarm sounding by the speaker and resumes the alarm sounding after a lapse of a period of suspension is set, in response to a determination that the mobile electronic device has shifted to the moving state, disabling the initial alarm sounding by the speaker before execution of the snooze function; and in response to a determination that the mobile electronic device has made a transition from the moving state to a stationary state, resuming the alarm sounding.
