For example, a graphical user interface may be provided to a user. The graphical user interface comprises a holding shape and a first income source shape indicating a first income source. The holding shape comprises a filled portion having a first filled portion level indicating a first holding balance of an account of the user. A first deposit shape may be moved from the first income source shape towards the filled portion of the holding shape. The first deposit shape may indicate a first deposit to the account from the first income source. The filled portion may be resized to a second filled portion level indicating a second holding balance of the account after the first deposit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system of interfacing a computing system to a human user, the system comprising: at least one processor; and a machine-readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: providing a graphical user interface at a display of a computing device, wherein the graphical user interface comprises: a holding shape comprising a filled portion having a first filled portion level indicating a first holding balance of an account of the user; a first income source shape indicating a first income source; animating movement of a first deposit shape from the first income source shape towards the filled portion of the holding shape, wherein the first deposit shape indicates a first deposit to the account from the first income source, and wherein the first deposit shape is a different shape than the holding shape; and subsequent to the animating, resizing the filled portion to a second d portion level indicating a second holding balance of the account after the first deposit. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a first expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a first level of the filled portion to cover a first expense, wherein the first filled portion level is less than the first level and the second filled portion level is greater than the first level. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the machine-readable medium further has instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining an increased first level of the filled portion to cover the first expense based at least in part on an amount of the first deposit; and repositioning the first expense balance indicator to indicate the increased first level. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a second expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a second level of the filled portion to cover a second expense, wherein the second filled portion level is less than the second level. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the first deposit shape is about equal to a difference between a first size of the filled portion at the first level and a second size of the filled portion at the second level. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a first expense shape positioned adjacent the holding shape at a first expense start level corresponding to a first expense start balance, wherein the machine-readable medium further has instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining that a sum of the first holding balance and the first deposit is greater than the first expense start balance by a first remainder amount; and resizing a first expense shape filled portion of the first expense shape based at least in part on a portion of the first remainder amount allocated to a balance of the first expense. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the machine-readable medium further has instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising animating movement of a first deposit shape towards the first expense shape before resizing the first expense shape filled portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the machine-readable medium further has instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: animating movement of a second deposit shape towards a first expense shape; and resizing a filled portion of the first expense shape. ### Claim 9 A method of interfacing a computing system to a human user, the method comprising: providing a graphical user interface at a display of a computing device, wherein the graphical user interface comprises: a holding shape comprising a filled portion having a first filled portion level indicating a first holding balance of an account of the user; a first income source shape indicating a first income source; animating movement of a first deposit shape from the first income source shape towards the filled portion of the holding shape, wherein the first deposit shape indicates a first deposit to the account from the first income source, and wherein the first deposit shape is a different shape than the holding shape; and subsequent to the animating, resizing the filled portion to a second filled portion level indicating a second holding balance of the account after the first deposit. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a first expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a first level of the filled portion to cover a first expense, wherein the first filled portion level is less than the first level and the second filled portion level is greater than the first level. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10; further comprising: determining an increased first level of the filled portion to cover the first expense based at least in part on an amount of the first deposit; and repositioning the first expense balance indicator to indicate the increased first level. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a second expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a second level of the filled portion to cover a second expense, wherein the second filled portion level is less than the second level. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the first deposit shape is about equal to a difference between a first size of the filled portion at the first level and a second size of the filled portion at the second level. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a first expense shape positioned adjacent the holding shape at a first expense start level corresponding to a first expense start balance, further comprising: determining that a sum of the first holding balance and the first deposit is greater than the first expense start balance by a first remainder amount; and resizing a first expense shape filled portion of the first expense shape based at least in part on a portion of the first remainder amount allocated to a balance of the first expense. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, further comprising animating movement of a first deposit shape towards the first expense shape before resizing the first expense shape filled portion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: animating movement of a second deposit shape towards a first expense shape; and resizing a filled portion of the first expense shape. ### Claim 17 A machine-readable medium having instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: providing a graphical user interface at a display of a computing device, wherein the graphical user interface comprises: a holding shape comprising a filled portion having a first filled portion level indicating a first holding balance of an account of the user; a first income source shape indicating a first income source; animating movement of a first deposit shape from the first income source shape towards the filled portion of the holding shape, wherein the first deposit shape indicates a first deposit to the account from the first income source, and wherein the first deposit shape is a different shape than the holding shape; and subsequent to the animating, resizing the filled portion to a second filled portion level indicating a second holding balance of the account after the first deposit. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The medium of claim 17, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a first expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a first level of the filled portion to cover a first expense, wherein the first filled portion level is less than the first level and the second filled portion level is greater than the first level. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The medium of claim 18, wherein the machine-readable medium further has instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining an increased first level of the filled portion to cover the first expense based at least in part on an amount of the first deposit; and repositioning the first expense balance indicator to indicate the increased first level. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The medium of claim 18, wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a second expense balance indicator positioned to indicate a second level of the filled portion to cover a second expense, wherein the second filled portion level is less than the second level.
