Benefits of technology

The present invention allows for customizable programming of a timing circuit used with a programmable device. This makes it easier to set up and manage these devices without having to manually adjust them every few months. It also includes features like regularly changing oil levels during car maintenance checks, which can help keep cars running smoothly over longer periods. Additionally, the use of a microprocessor ensures accurate tracking of long-term needs.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is how to efficiently manage calendar appointments and remindings about functions dependent on time, particularly when there are multiple times during the same session.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a multi-event reminder device 10 is shown as including a housing 12 formed of an opaque plastic material that allows some passage of light when one or both of two light sources 14 and 16 are activated. The dimensions of the reminder device are not critical, but preferably are such that the device is easily transported. For example, the diameter of the illustrated circular embodiment may be in the range of 25 mm to 127 mm. A projection 18 extends from the circumference of the housing 12. The projection includes an opening 20 for passage of a key chain, a nail or another means for securing or mounting the reminder device 10. Alternatively or additionally, the rear surface of the housing may include a magnetic strip 22, an adhesive strip or the like. The magnetic strip 22 allows the device to be secured to a metal surface, such as a refrigerator.

[0021]The reminder device 10 includes a number of alert mechanisms. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, th

Abstract

A portable multi-event reminder device includes a battery-powered electrical timer circuit that is programmable with respect to selecting at least two overlapping time periods, so as to generate prompts for at least two functionally related but time-independent events. A solitary two-state switch is the sole input device employed by a user to provide the desired timing programming. The timer circuit is configured to generate a first electrical reminder signal upon expiration of the first selected time period and to generate a second electrical reminder signal upon expiration of the second selected time period. The reminder signals activate one or more sensory alerts that generate human-perceivable alerts for prompting a user.
