A method for setting an alarm in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving a message for requesting the setting of the alarm from a peer terminal;
- confirming a right of the peer terminal to set an alarm;
- determining, if the peer terminal has the right to set the alarm, an alarm generation time according to a transmission time of the alarm setting request message;
- and
- setting the alarm for the alarm generation time.
A method of requesting an alarm setting in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
- determining whether an alarm setting function is selected while operating in a message input mode;
- displaying, if the alarm setting function is selected, at least one symbol pre-set for the alarm setting;
- selecting at least one symbol according to a user control;
- and
- transmitting a message including the selected symbol to a peer terminal,
- wherein the symbol pre-set for the alarm setting indicates at least one of an alarm time interval and an alarm generation time.
An apparatus for setting an alarm in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving a message for requesting the setting of the alarm from a peer terminal;
- and
- a controller for confirming a right of the peer terminal to set the alarm, and if the peer terminal has the right to set the alarm, for determining an alarm generation time according to a transmission time of the alarm setting request message, and for setting the alarm for the alarm generation time.
An apparatus for requesting an alarm setting in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller for determining whether an alarm setting function is selected while operating in a message input mode, and for selecting, if the alarm setting function is selected while operating in the message input mode, at least one symbol according to a user control by displaying at least one symbol pre-set for the alarm setting;
- and
- a transceiver for transmitting a message including the selected symbol to a peer terminal under the control of the controller,
- wherein the symbol pre-set for the alarm setting indicates at least one of an alarm time interval and an alarm generation time.
