Mobile terminal and video display apparatus

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of a current position of the mobile terminal;
• a memory configured to store position information of a destination and a start date and time of a scheduled event, the destination being a place of the event scheduled by a user of the mobile terminal;
• an output unit for outputting a notification;
• and
• a controller configured to control at least the output unit in a control mode for notification,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• when determining that the current position of the mobile terminal does not coincide with the position information of the destination, calculate a traveling time of a traveling route, among a plurality of traveling routes, from the current position of the mobile terminal to the destination, selected based on history information relating to traveling route selection, calculate a date and time of departure from the current position based on the start date and time of the scheduled event and the traveling time, and control the output unit to output a notification when the date and time of departure is reached, and
• wherein the controller is configured to control the output unit to output the notification again when determining the position information of the current position of the mobile terminal has not changed within a predetermined period of time after outputting the notification.

A method executed by a mobile terminal including:

• a central processing unit (CPU);
• a memory, connected to the CPU, configured to store position information of a destination and a start date and time of a scheduled event, the destination being a place of the event scheduled by a user of the mobile terminal;
• and a Global Positioning System receiver connected to the CPU, configured to acquire position information of a current position of the mobile terminal;
• and at least one of a speaker and a display connected to the CPU;
• the method comprising steps, executed by the CPU, of:
• when determining that the current position of the mobile terminal does not coincide with the position information of the destination, calculating a traveling time of a traveling route, among a plurality of traveling routes, from the current position of the mobile terminal to the destination, selected based on history information relating to traveling route selection, calculating a date and time of departure from the current position based on the start date and time of the scheduled event and the traveling time, and outputting a notification when the date and time of departure is reached,
• storing, by the memory, genre information of the event, and
• switching in accordance with the genre information of the stored event whether the output unit outputs the notification or not when a predetermined time before the date and time of departure date is reached.
