  • Patent number: 11681424
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing a map calendar graphical user interface (GUI) including content-variable view levels is described herein. The method includes executing a map calendar application to provide a map calendar GUI surfaced on a display. The map calendar GUI includes interactive visualizations of a map calendar that are organized into content-variable view levels that relate to specific units of time.

  • Patent number: 11645628
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for translating time between calendar systems is described herein. The method includes accessing a first tree structure for a first calendar system, where data corresponding to the first tree structure include time intervals for the first calendar system that are arranged into layers of nodes, and where the layers of nodes are mapped to universal time. The method also includes scheduling a calendar content item corresponding to a time fragment relative to the universal time. The method further includes translating the calendar content item to a first human-readable time fragment for the first calendar system by traversing the first tree structure corresponding to the first calendar system to convert the time fragment to the first human-readable time fragment based on the mapping of the layers of nodes of the first tree structure to the universal time.

  • Patent number: 11514405
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing a map calendar application and corresponding map calendar GUI that provide time mold functionality is described herein. The method includes executing the map calendar application to provide the map calendar GUI surfaced on a display. The map calendar GUI includes an interactive visualization of a map calendar, which includes a continuous, manipulable sequence of calendar content data corresponding to calendar content items that are organized based on units of time within a coordinate plane. The method also includes categorizing the calendar content items based on time categories corresponding to the calendar content items and identifying time patterns corresponding to the categorized calendar content items. The method further includes generating a time mold of the map calendar based on the identified time patterns and visually overlaying the time mold onto corresponding calendar content items within the interactive visualization.
