First, the power is turned on (ON) devices mounted in the mobile phone starts to function (S1).

At this time, the system in the mobile phone is initialized under the control of the MSM 300 (S2).

In this case, the information is repeatedly obtained by obtaining information of the base station (IDLE) (S3).

Thereafter, when the user selects the forced sleep mode function by using the keypad 100, the process proceeds to the fifth step, whereas when the user does not set the forced sleep mode, the process returns to the third step (S4).

Then, the user determines whether to select the wake-up call function using the keypad 100 (S5).

Thereafter, when the wake-up call function is selected in the fifth step, if an alarm time is input, the process proceeds to the seventh step, and if the alarm time is not input, the process proceeds to the third step (S6).

Then, the sleep mode is switched to the sleep mode clock in the MSM 300 operates (S7).

Then, it is checked whether the set time is reached, and if the set time is reached, the process proceeds to the ninth step.

Then, the alarm sounds through the audio 700 (S9).

Thereafter, when the alarm number of alarms is more than a specific time, the process proceeds to the twelfth step. If the alarm number of alarms does not reach the specific time, the process proceeds to the eleventh step (S10).

Then, if the user does not use the touch key in the keypad 100 or not, the process returns to the tenth step, and if the user presses the touch key, the process proceeds to the twelfth step (S11).
