Embodiment Construction

[0049] In the future, an increasing number of applications and services will use user alerts as an integrated part of the interface to the user. Alerts may be eg simple appointment reminders or eg general alerts associated with complex events, times or content items. For example, an alert may be user-specific, may be automatically generated, and / or may be received from an external source. In particular, many applications and alerts can be focused on group or corporate based services and alerts can be set by or in response to other users' activities. Furthermore, alerts will increasingly be used in dynamic environments such as mobile devices, including for example personal digital assistants (PDAs) or mobile phones.

[0050] The following description focuses on embodiments of the present invention that are applicable to an alert system for content-related alerts that assist users in accessing the correct content item, such as a TV program. However, it is to be understood that...

Abstract

An alert management apparatus (100) comprises a presentation item data store (107) providing first description data associated with a plurality of presentation items, such as audio clips. The alert management apparatus (100) further comprises an alert data store (103) storing second description data associated with an alert, such as an alert for a content item. An association processor (109) is coupled to the presentation item data store (107) and the alert data store (103) and is arranged to select a presentation item of the plurality of presentation items for the alert in response to the first description data and the second description data. For example, a presentation item matching the genre, artist and or title of a content item of the alert may be selected. A presentation processor (111) then presents the selected presentation item to a user when the alert is activated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alarm management device and an alarm management method thereof, in particular to an alarm management system providing improved customization of alarm notification. Background technique [0002] In recent years, there has been an explosion in the use and popularity of electronic applications and services for managing everyday activities. For example, applications to assist users in selecting TV programs, applications to manage appointments or contacts with other users have become common. Many of these applications and services use alerts whereby a user can be notified of events, information, or other relevant issues of interest to the user.
