Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for presenting a set of intention objects arranged by coarse time windows is disclosed. In example embodiments, the method may include accessing a set of intention objects belonging to a user. Each of the intention objects may define the intention of the user to undertake an intention and each object may comprise a data structure including a plurality of activity attributes of the intended activity. The method may further include assigning particular intention objects of the set of intention objects to a coarse time window based on the attributes of the respective intention objects. The method may further include presenting at least a portion of the set of intention objects to a user in a day view that is arranged based on the assigned coarse time windows.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for providing scheduling suggestions to a user. A collection of intention objects is accessed. Each of the intention objects is a data structure comprising a plurality of activity attributes of an intention of a user to undertake an activity. Calendar data from a calendar of the user is accessed and an available time slot on the calendar is determined. In response to determining the available time slot, a suggested intention object is selected from the collection of intention objects based on a plurality of activity attributes of the suggested intention object. A scheduling suggestion is then presented to the user. The scheduling suggestion may include a suggestion to schedule an activity associated with the suggested intention object in the available time slot.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for generating an intention object. Activity data defining activity attributes of an intention of a user to undertake an activity is obtained. The activity attributes may comprise at least one temporal attribute defining a time constraint relating to the activity and at least one contextual attribute identifying a context relating to the activity. One or more content items related to the activity are obtained. An intention object is then generated based on the activity attributes, the intention object comprising a data structure including the activity attributes and the one or more content items. An additional activity attribute is inferred based on the activity attributes and the one or more content items. The intention object is then updated to include the additional activity attribute.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for providing a collection of intention objects to a user. A collection of intention objects is accessed. Each of the intention objects comprises a data structure including a plurality of activity attributes of an intention of the user to undertake an activity. A relevancy rank for each of the collection of intention objects is determined based on the plurality of activity attributes corresponding to each intention object. The relevancy rank may provide a suggested order in which the user undertake each respective activity. One or more intention objects of the collection of intention objects with a relevancy rank above a predefined threshold are identified. A graphical representation of each of the identified intention objects is then presented in a free form spatial user interface.

Abstract: Methods are provided for creating a composite program module within a computing ecosystem. The ecosystem comprises physical and/or virtual computing resources of a company, department or other organization. When a user discovers a grouping of modules that is useful to him, the ecosystem or his workspace allows him to create a composite module that comprises the group of modules. He can then access their combined functionality by activating just the composite module, in which case all the modules are automatically opened, without having to activate each one individually. Further, the ecosystem may suggest complementary program modules to a user based on his pattern of activity with one or more other modules. A composite program module may be created to include a suggested complementary module, or just modules discovered independently by the user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for visualizing information, e.g., information regarding a sporting event. The method may comprise identifying an event type and generating a plurality of buttons, the plurality of buttons arranged in a button hierarchy. A first level of the button hierarchy comprising one or more first level buttons is displayed with a lens further displayed on a given one of the one or more first level buttons, the lens operative to present first level data for the given first level button.
