Abstract
A management component in a computer system provides user input mechanisms that allow a user to capture time entries on a timesheet in the computer system. The items in a given timesheet can be separately viewed and edited and the timesheet can be submitted for approval.
Claims20
A mobile device, comprising:
- a display;
- a processor having timing circuitry, the processor being coupled to the display;
- a wireless communication interface coupled to the processor and configured to communicate wirelessly with a remote device;
- memory circuitry coupled to the processor, the memory circuitry storing instructions, which, when executed by the processor provide a timesheet management application;
- a touch sensor configured to sense physical user input as a touch gesture;
- and
- the timesheet management application being configured to generate a panoramic main timesheet page that receives user input in the form of a touch gesture indicative of creating a new time entry or reviewing an existing time entry,
- wherein the processor is configured to receive the touch gesture user input and responsively provide a user interface having functionality of one of new time entry and reviewing an existing time entry and to change data in the remote device through the wireless communication interface as a result of user interaction with the user interface.

A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor having timing circuitry;
- memory circuitry coupled to the processor, the memory circuitry storing instructions, which, when executed by the processor provide a timesheet management application;
- a speech recognition component;
- and
- the timesheet management application being configured to generate a main timesheet page configured to receive user input in the form of a speech and to create a new time entry in response to the user input,
- wherein processor is configured to user receive further user input providing details of a new time entry in the form of speech.
3 more elements
A method of receiving timesheet information with a mobile device, the method comprising:
- generating a panoramic landing page on a display of the mobile device, wherein the panoramic landing page is scrollable at least horizontally;
- displaying a plurality of timesheets on the panoramic landing page wherein the plurality of timesheets are groups and each group includes an icon that is currently in the status represented by that group;
- receiving user input in the form of a touch gesture on the panoramic landing page;
- and
- responsively performing an action based on the touch gesture.
