Abstract

A display system and a fixed time remind method therefor. The display system has a displaying device. The fixed time remind method includes the following steps. As an operation window is opened, the operation window displays a remind message on the displaying device. As the remind message is enabled and after a remind time is set, the remind time is saved. As the remind time is up, the displaying device outputs a remind signal for the remind message.

Claims
