Abstract

An easy to use schedule alarm is disclosed which is capable of sounding an alarm and displaying the content of a schedule or memorandum automatically without setting the alarm time or entering a data display instruction. With the scheduled data or memorandum being entered into the device in advance, it can notify the scheduled times by sounding an alarm and by displaying the contents of a schedule and memorandum thus serving to prevent one from leaving out scheduled times and data.

memory means responsive to said input means for storing said schedule data and said memorandum data;

timer means for determining time;

display means for displaying at least one of said schedule data and said memorandum data;

alarm means for producing an audible alarm upon display of at least one of schedule data and memorandum data; and

control means for controlling said display means such that said schedule data is displayed in response to the time determined by said timer means coinciding with said preselected time associated therewith and for controlling said display means such that said memorandum data is displayed in response to the time determined by said timer means coinciding with said preselected time associated therewith, said control means permitting simultaneous display of said schedule data and said memorandum data on said display means when said respective preselected times coincide.

2. The schedule alarm device of claim 1 further comprising means for deciding the preselected times associated with said schedule data and said memorandum data.
