Abstract
Systems and methods relate to managing an alarm clock function of a device. The systems and methods for compare a time setting of a new alarm by a user to one or more previous times settings that the alarm has been set to determine whether to warn the user about and/or require the user to confirm the time setting of the new alarm. The systems and methods can detect a user input indicating a first time setting for the alarm clock function. Further, the systems and methods can examine the one or more previous time settings associated with the alarm clock function determine, based on the one or more previous time settings, whether to query the user to confirm an activation of the alarm clock function at the first time setting.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more processors of a device, an indication of a first time associated with an alarm clock function;
- determining whether the first time differs by more than a threshold amount of time from a plurality of previous times associated with the alarm clock function;
- outputting, for display, in response to determining that the first time differs by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times, a notification;
- and
- enabling the alarm clock function for the first time in response to determining that the first time does not differ by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that cause one or more processor to perform a method, comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors associated with a device, a first time associated with an alarm clock function;
- determining whether the first time differs by more than a threshold amount of time from plurality of previous times associated with the alarm clock function;
- outputting, for display in response to determining that the first time differs by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times, a notification;
- and
- enabling the alarm clock function for the first time in response to determining that the first time does not differ by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times.
A device comprising:
- one or more memory devices storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memory devices and configured to execute the instructions to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, at the one or more processors, an indication of a first time associated with an alarm clock function;
- determining whether the first time differs by more than a threshold amount of time from plurality of previous times associated with the alarm clock function;
- outputting, for display, in response to determining that the first time differs by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times, a notification;
- and
- enabling the alarm clock function for the first time in response to determining that the first time does not differ by more than the threshold amount of time from the plurality of previous times.
