Abstract

Systems, methods, and software can be used to populate contact information. In some aspect, a starting time and an ending time for a calendar event on a first day is determined. A calendar view for a plurality of days is displayed on an electronic device. The plurality of days comprise the first day. The calendar view comprises a first graphic user interface object representing the first day and a second graphic user interface object representing the calendar event on the first day. The second graphic user interface object indicates the starting time and the ending time of the calendar event.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

determining a starting time and an ending time for a calendar event on a first day;

determining a visual attribute for the calendar event based on a source of the calendar event, wherein the visual attribute indicates an account that is associated with the source of the calendar event;

determining a second starting time and a second ending time for a second calendar event on the first day, wherein a duration of the calendar event overlaps with at least a portion of a duration of the second calendar event;

determining that a third calendar event is an all-day event; and

displaying, on an electronic device, a calendar view for a plurality of days, wherein;

the plurality of days comprise the first day,

the calendar view comprises a first graphic user interface object representing the first day, a second graphic user interface object representing the calendar event on the first day, and a third graphic user interface object representing the second calendar event on the first day,

the second graphic user interface object comprises the visual attribute determined for the calendar event,

the second graphic user interface object and the third graphic user interface object represent calendar events that have shorter durations than the all-day event,

the second graphic user interface object indicates the starting time and the ending time of the calendar event,

the third graphic user interface object indicates the second starting time and the second ending time of the second calendar event, and wherein the third graphic user interface object does not overlap with the second graphic user interface object, and

the calendar view comprises an all-day-event graphic user interface object representing the third calendar event, wherein the all-day-event graphic user interface object is different from the second graphic user interface object or the third graphic user interface object.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second graphic user interface object comprises an arc, the starting time of the calendar event is indicated by a starting point of the arc, and the ending time of the calendar event is indicated by an ending point of the arc.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the calendar view comprises a fourth graphic user interface object representing a fourth calendar event on a second day.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining that the calendar event has passed; and

wherein the second graphic user interface object comprises a visual attribute indicating that the calendar event has passed.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to;

determine a starting time and an ending time for a calendar event on a first day;

determine a visual attribute for the calendar event based on a source of the calendar event, wherein the visual attribute indicates an account that is associated with the source of the calendar event;

determine a second starting time and a second ending time for a second calendar event on the first day, wherein a duration of the calendar event overlaps with at least a portion of a duration of the second calendar event;

determine that a third calendar event is an all-day event and

display, on the electronic device, a calendar view for a plurality of days, wherein;

the plurality of days comprise the first day,

the calendar view comprises a first graphic user interface object representing the first day, a second graphic user interface object representing the calendar event on the first day, and a third graphic user interface object representing the second calendar event on the first day,

the second graphic user interface object comprises the visual attribute determined for the calendar event,

the second graphic user interface object indicates the starting time and the ending time of the calendar event,

the third graphic user interface object indicates the second starting time and the second ending time of the second calendar event, and wherein the third graphic user interface object does not overlap with the second graphic user interface object, and

the calendar view comprises an all-day-event graphic user interface object representing the third calendar event, wherein the all-day-event graphic user interface object is different from the second graphic user interface object or the third graphic user interface object.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the second graphic user interface object comprises an arc, the starting time of the calendar event is indicated by a starting point of the arc, and the ending time of the calendar event is indicated by an ending point of the arc.

7. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the calendar view comprises a fourth graphic user interface object representing a fourth calendar event on a second day.

8. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to:

determine that the calendar event has passed; and

wherein the second graphic user interface object comprises a visual attribute indicating that the calendar event has passed.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

determining a starting time and an ending time for a calendar event on a first day;

determining a visual attribute for the calendar event based on a source of the calendar event, wherein the visual attribute indicates an account that is associated with the source of the calendar event;

determining a second starting time and a second ending time for a second calendar event on the first day, wherein a duration of the calendar event overlaps with at least a portion of a duration of the second calendar event;

determining that a third calendar event is an all-day event and

displaying, on an electronic device, a calendar view for a plurality of days, wherein;

the plurality of days comprise the first day,

the calendar view comprises a first graphic user interface object representing the first day, a second graphic user interface object representing the calendar event on the first day, and a third graphic user interface object representing the second calendar event on the first day,

the second graphic user interface object comprises the visual attribute determined for the calendar event,

the second graphic user interface object and the third graphic user interface object represent calendar events that have shorter durations than the all-day event;

the second graphic user interface object indicates the starting time and the ending time of the calendar event,

the third graphic user interface object indicates the second starting time and the second ending time of the second calendar event, and wherein the third graphic user interface object does not overlap with the second graphic user interface object, and

the calendar view comprises an all-day-event graphic user interface object representing the third calendar event, wherein the all-day-event graphic user interface object is different from the second graphic user interface object or the third graphic user interface object.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the second graphic user interface object comprises an arc, the starting time of the calendar event is indicated by a starting point of the arc, and the ending time of the calendar event is indicated by an ending point of the arc.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the calendar view comprises a fourth graphic user interface object representing a fourth calendar event on a second day.
