Abstract
A portable electronic device comprising: a user interface for providing an alert to a user; a memory for storing at least one value for each of a plurality of different context parameters; detection means for detecting a value for each of the plurality of different context parameters; and control means for determining when a detected value satisfies a rule involving a stored value for the same context parameter and for controlling the user interface to provide an alert. A portable electronic device comprising: a user interface for providing an alert to a user; detection means for detecting a context; a memory for storing a plurality of different trigger contexts; and control means for controlling the user interface to produce an alert when a detected context corresponds to a stored trigger context, wherein a context is defined by value(s) of one or more of a plurality of different context parameters.
