  • Patent number: 10838607
    Abstract: A panorama display application shows objects from a spreadsheet such as charts in primary screen of a mobile device adjoined by left and right virtual screens. The application overlays interaction controls such as sort and filter functions on the object. The application also provides additional interaction controls for the object on the left virtual screen and associated objects links on the right virtual screen. The application may expose the additional interaction controls and the associated objects links by overlaying portions of the virtual screens on the primary screen. The application fluidly shifts content from virtual screens to the primary screen subsequent to detected user action on the overlaid portions.

  • Publication number: 20200082345
    Abstract: A range of dates is selected. For each date of the range of dates, a daily task list is displayed listing at least a portion of tasks having a start date or a due date matching the date. A user selection determines whether the daily task list includes only tasks having the start date or the due date for each date in the range of dates, or includes any task completed on each date. Appointments for each date in the range of dates may be presented, and the daily task list for each date may be displayed beneath, above, or alongside the appointments, or as part of a to do list. The tasks each may be assigned a color code allowing a task to be visually associated with another task or other object to which the color code also has been assigned.

  • Publication number: 20070038711
    Abstract: Electronic mail messages are tracked for the sender by allowing the sender to flag the electronic mail messages. Flagging the electronic mail messages allows for various notifications to be provided to the sender. For example, notification may be provided to the sender by placing an item in a to-do bar for the sender that corresponds to the electronic mail message. As another example, notification may be provided to the sender by firing a reminder at some future time that corresponds to the electronic mail message. As another example, notification may be provided to the sender by including an indication in a related incoming electronic mail message that the incoming electronic mail message is related to the electronic message sent by the sender.
