1. A computer-implemented method for alarm management for use in an electronic device, comprising:
- setting a predefined alarm event that occurs at a predefined time for detecting an occurrence of an alarm event;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event, detecting, by the electronic device, movement of the electronic device and determining, by the electronic device, whether the electronic device has been flipped over according to the movement of the electronic device detected; and
stopping current alarm in response to a determination that the electronic device has been flipped over,wherein the step of determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over comprises determining whether the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees and the electronic device is determined as being flipped over when the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees,wherein the step of determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over further comprises determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over based on sensed data provided by a motion sensing unit of the electronic device, andwherein the motion sensing unit is deactivated prior to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event and is activated in response to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event.

7. A system for alarm management for use in an electronic device, comprising:
-
a wireless communication unit; a motion sensing unit; and a processing circuit coupled to the wireless communication unit, configured to set a predefined alarm event that occurs at a predefined time for detecting an occurrence of an alarm event, detect movement of the electronic device and determine whether the electronic device has been flipped over according to the movement of the electronic device detected in response to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event, and stop current alarm in response to a determination that the electronic device has been flipped over, wherein the processing circuit further determines whether the electronic device has been flipped over by determining whether the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees and the processing circuit further determines that the electronic device is determined as being flipped over when the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees, wherein the processing circuit is further configured to determine whether the electronic device has been flipped over based on sensed data provided by the motion sensing unit equipped with the electronic device, and wherein the processing circuit is further configured to deactivate the motion sensing unit prior to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event and activate the motion sensing unit in response to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a method for alarm management, wherein the method comprises:
-
setting a predefined alarm event that occurs at a predefined time for detecting an occurrence of an alarm event; in response to the occurrence of the alarm event, detecting, by a motion sensing device of the device, movement of the device and determining whether the device has been flipped over according to the movement of the electronic device detected; and stopping current alarm in response to a determination that the device has been flipped over, wherein the step of determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over comprises determining whether the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees and the electronic device is determined as being flipped over when the movement of the electronic device detected indicates that the electronic device is being rotated about 180 degrees, wherein the step of determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over further comprises determining whether the electronic device has been flipped over based on sensed data provided by the motion sensing unit of the electronic device, and wherein the motion sensing unit is deactivated prior to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event and is activated in response to detecting the occurrence of the alarm event.
