APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING FROM MANNER MODE TO ALARM MODE IN MOBILE TERMINAL, ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WITH IMPLEMENTING A TIME SETTING FOR A MANNER MODE

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for automatically switching from a manner mode to an alarm mode in a mobile terminal are provided to automatically switch to an alarm mode after maintaining a manner mode during a pre-set time by implementing a time setting function for the manner mode. CONSTITUTION: A controller is on standby(211). The controller determines whether a destination mode set on standby is an alarm mode(213). If the destination mode is the alarm mode, the controller checks whether a key for switching the alarm mode to a manner mode is inputted from a key pad(215). If the key is inputted, the controller switches a mobile terminal to the manner mode(217). The controller requests time setting by displaying a manner mode time setting menu(221). Manner mode time setting items are displayed on a display unit and a user sets time of the manner mode(223). The controller checks whether a key for completing the manner mode time setting is inputted(225). The controller stores the set manner mode time in a memory(227).
