ABSTRACT:
A method of simultaneously displaying day calendar information in first and second view ports, each of which displays it's calendar data in a different format. The information in the two simultaneously displayed view ports is functionally interrelated to provide an improved interactive user interface.
The first viewport has a time structured format which displays a sequence of predesignated time slots, each of which represents a fixed period of time, such as 30 minutes. Each time slot is allocated to one display line in the viewport. If the number of time slots allocated between the beginning and end of a calendar day is greater than the number of display lines in the viewport, then the information is scrollable so that the entire day may be viewed by the operator. The first viewport also includes at least one column that is used to display a vertical busy bar adjacent to a time slot which indicates that the slot is already scheduled.
The second viewport is used to enter the start time and end time of an event being calendared along with a free form text description of the event that is being calendared. The description is not limited in length or tied to the time period of the event. The length of the description is therefore independent of the number of display lines representing the overall time period of the event since there are no pre-established time slots in the second viewport.
The information in the two viewports is interrelated in that the start time and end time of each event calendared in the second viewport is used to establish the busy bars in the first viewport.
