  • the present invention relates to a method for operating a mobile telecommunications terminal with a user feature.

  • a corresponding event whereupon the mobile phone receives one at the specified point in time
  • Outputs message such as a ringtone and / or a display on a display of the mobile phone.
  • Another disadvantage of mobile telecommunication terminals from the prior art is that it is often difficult for a user to keep an overview of the stored data because of the large number of storable data. For example, this can make it difficult to distinguish between data that is important and unimportant for the user and that he may miss important appointments or not maintain important contacts sufficiently.
  • This object is achieved by a method for operating a mobile telecommunications terminal with a user feature, the mobile telecommunications terminal outputting an information message relating to the user feature after a predetermined period of time that has started automatically.
  • starting automatically means that the expiry of the time period is linked to a specific event that is not the start of a time period or the setting of an appointment.
  • a user does not explicitly indicate the start of the expiry of the predetermined time period zit triggers, as is the case, for example, when setting an appointment in an appointment calendar or starting a stopwatch, but this period of time is started implicitly by triggering the event.
  • Such events can be triggered by the user, for example, but can also take place independently of the user of the mobile telecommunications terminal.
  • the automatic start of the predetermined time period means that the user does not necessarily have to be aware of the start and subsequent expiry of the time period.
  • time periods that are triggered directly or explicitly by the user are, for example, the abovementioned starting of a stopwatch or the setting of an appointment in a diary or an alarm clock or the setting of a reminder of an activity to be carried out.
  • the output of the information message relating to the user performance feature makes it possible to provide the user of the mobile telecommunications terminal with information about the user performance feature.
  • Such information messages can be, for example, the memory of the existence of the user performance feature or the memory of an activity that can be performed or carried out in connection with the user performance feature.
  • the output of the information message after the expiry of the automatically started predetermined time period has the advantage that the user does not have to think about the user performance feature or about activities to be carried out or carried out in connection with the user performance feature. Therefore, the method presented enables a more user-friendly operation of the mobile telecommunication terminal through the improved possibility of using different aspects of a user performance feature implemented in the mobile telecommunication terminal.
  • the time spans can be short-term spans of a few seconds or a few minutes, medium-term spans of a few hours or longer-term spans of a few days, weeks, months or even years.
  • the use of periods of one day or longer can be particularly advantageous.

  • initial commissioning can be the insertion of a new SIM card.
  • the automatic start of the predetermined period of time can be triggered, for example, when the mobile telecommunications terminal is switched on for the first time or is switched off for the first time after the initial start-up. Furthermore, the predetermined period of time can be started after a predetermined number of switch-on and / or switch-off processes after the initial start-up.

Does the user have the appropriate If the feature has already been used before the predetermined period of time has elapsed, the method can, for example, be designed such that no information message relating to the feature is then output. In this case, the user was able to use the feature and may not need the information message.
  • the automatic start of the predetermined period of time and / or the output of an information message relating to the user performance feature can advantageously be switched on and off by a user. This can be done, for example, in a general setting area or menu of the telecommunication terminal, the setting possibly also affecting several user features.

For example, in a general introductory menu or a setting area or menu of the mobile telecommunication terminal, such an input of a time period can be provided. In this way, the behavior of the mobile telecommunications terminal can be easily adapted to the needs of a user. For example, the user can set a shorter period of time if, for example, he wants to be informed about the user feature as quickly as possible and / or if he wants to be reminded of activities in connection with the user feature. If the user has more time in this regard or, for example, only wants to be reminded at the last possible time, the predetermined time period can be set correspondingly longer.
