Integrated spatial view of time, location, and event schedule information
First Claim
1. A processor-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions configured for:
- receiving schedule information related to events, the schedule information including event locations and event times;
accessing a map based on the event locations;
integrating the schedule information with the map to generate a spatial view of the schedule information that includes a travel route that traverses the event locations on the map; and
designating each event location along the travel route with a corresponding event time, each event time along the travel route expressing a time associated with an event scheduled at the event location.

Abstract
Systems and methods integrate various types of scheduling information to create a single spatial view of a schedule. The spatial view enables observation of one'"'"'s schedule at a glance and reduces the need for accessing additional information from other sources in order to comprehend scheduling information. Thus, users can access information regarding the time, location, and subject matter of appointments and/or events in a single location without the hassle of looking back and forth between various information sources. This helps users meet their scheduled appointments and events in an on-time and prepared manner.

14. A processor-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions configured for generating a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface depicting:
-
an AM ring on an analog clock face indicating active AM hours;
a PM ring on the analog clock face indicating active PM hours; and
an event indicator hand on the analog clock face indicating a minute within each active hour on which an event will begin. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method comprising:
-
expressing multiple event times on a single analog clock face;
wherein the clock face includes an inner circle depicting active AM hours in which event times may occur, a first concentric ring around the inner circle depicting active PM hours in which event times may occur, a second concentric ring around the first concentric ring, the second concentric ring depicting time markings consistent with an analog clock, and event hands extending from the center of the inner circle to the outer edge of the second concentric ring, each event hand designating a minute of an active hour on which an event will occur. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
