Fragmented time utilizing method for mobile terminal and mobile terminal

The invention discloses a fragmented time utilizing method for a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal. The fragmented time utilizing method includes: the mobile terminal receives and saves registered fragmented time periods input by users in advance; the mobile terminal receives and saves schedules established by the users; the mobile terminal receives and saves fragmented tasks input by the users and places the fragmented tasks into a fragmented task list; the mobile terminal finds out that the current schedule is about to be ended, and if the time period between the current schedule and the next schedule coincides to one or several of the fragmented time periods registered by the users, the time periods on the coincidence portion serve as the current fragmented time periods; and the mobile terminal calculates the priority of each fragmented task in the fragmented task list to the current fragmented time periods in terms of any current fragmented time period, and chooses task with the highest priority to prompt for users. By means of the fragmented time utilizing method, effective utilization on the fragmented time can be achieved by the mobile terminal.
