  • Patent number: 10535043
    Abstract: A calendar view smoothly and progressively transitions between different calendar views. Instead of snapping to a week view in response to changing from a month view to the week view, the month view progressively transitions to the week view while receiving an interaction. For example, the week view may smoothly expand while the view of the other weeks in the month smoothly decrease in size while the interaction is being received. A user may navigate between different calendar views such as year to month, month to week, week to multiple days, days to single days, and the like. When navigating month to month, week to week, day to day, and the like, the transitions between each time element are progressively and smoothly transitioned. Task information or other information that is displayed in the calendar progressively transitions to show more or less information depending on the interaction being received.

  • Publication number: 20190004675
    Abstract: A flexible layout system is disclosed herein that improves infinite scrolling capabilities and other animations in software calendars. In an implementation, a time period of a viewport in a user interface may change relative to a panel in a calendar. As the viewport changes, a mapping component informs other components of a new time period coming into view in the view port as a result of a scrolling event. The mapping component may also respond to requests from another component with layout information for the visual representation of the new time period (e.g. position and dimension). In this manner, the responsibility for determining layout information is encapsulated.
