Here, the CPU 100 displays a snooze button B6 and a dismiss button B7, which are a target of the operation, on the display 11 or 21 during the notification action. If an operation on the snooze button B6 is a confirmation flick, the CPU 100 stops the notification action and furthermore resumes the notification action if standby time elapses after the notification action stops. In contrast, if an operation on the dismiss button B7 is a confirmation flick, the CPU 100 stops the notification action and furthermore cancels a setting of the notification action. ## Claims ###
