  • Methods and apparatus for a touchscreen user interface
    Patent number: 10275129
    Abstract: A touch system user interface displays a plurality of user interface elements in a timeline, wherein each of the user interface elements is associated with a respective event having a number of event attributes, including a date attribute. Each user interface element includes a visual representation of a displayed set of the event attributes and is positioned within the timeline based on the date event attribute. The position and/or spatial zoom level of the user interface elements are modified based on the user input, and the displayed set of event attributes is based on the spatial zoom level.

  • Methods and apparatus for a user interface configured to display event information
    Patent number: 8930841
    Abstract: An embodiment of a user interface of an electronic device is configured to display user interface elements along a timeline. Each displayed user interface element is associated with an event that is characterized by one or more event attributes. The event attributes include a temporal attribute (e.g., a date and/or time). Each user interface element is relatively positioned along the timeline based on its temporal attribute, and each user interface element is displayed with a visual representation of a set of its associated event attributes. The displayed set of event attributes for a particular user interface element is determined based on a position of the user interface element along the timeline and/or a spatial zoom level at the time. The spatial zoom level and/or position along the timeline of each user interface element may be modified based on user inputs.
