Abstract
Techniques are provided to obtain event scheduling information for one or more events occurring within a time period and to obtain a reference time. A composite display widget is generated comprising a radial time indicator for the reference time and a radial event indicator for a first event of the one or more events based on the scheduling information. The composite display widget is displayed. The composite display widget can be used to display time integrated with events scheduled from a plurality of scheduling applications to provide a small icon-based scheduling package that can be viewed at a glance by a user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining event scheduling information for one or more events occurring within a time period;
- obtaining a reference time;
- generating a composite display widget comprising a radial time indicator for the reference time and a radial event indicator for a first event of the one or more events based on the scheduling information;
- and
- displaying the composite display widget,
- wherein the radial event indicator is in the shape of a pie wedge that spans a period of time that is less than 12 hours and that is consistent with the event scheduling information.
An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface display;
- and
- a processor coupled to the user interface display, the processor configured to:
- obtain event scheduling information for one or more events occurring within a time period;
- obtain a reference time;
- generate a composite display widget comprising a radial time indicator for the reference time and a radial event indicator for a first event of the one or more events based on the scheduling information;
- and
- display the composite display widget,
- wherein the radial event indicator is in the shape of a pie wedge that spans a period of time that is less than 12 hours and that is consistent with the event scheduling information.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- obtain event scheduling information for one or more events occurring within a time period;
- obtain a reference time;
- generate a composite display widget comprising a radial time indicator for the reference time and a radial event indicator for a first event of the one or more events based on the scheduling information;
- and
- display the composite display widget,
- wherein the radial event indicator is in the shape of a pie wedge that spans a period of time that is less than 12 hours and that is consistent with the event scheduling information.
