Publication number: 20140007164Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying program guide information are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, responsive to a user-supplied search query, formatting for display program guide data on a first grid. The first grid includes (i) a first axis representing units of time and (ii) a second axis. The program guide data comprises information representing a first set of time-bounded events. The method also includes formatting a second grid for concurrent display with the first grid. The second grid includes information identifying a second set of time-bounded events. The first set of time-bounded events is a subset of the second set of time-bounded events.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Richard Carl Gossweiler, III, Marisa Bauer, John Wayne Blackburn, David A.
