Visualizing multiple time zones in a calendaring and scheduling application
First Claim
1. A method for visualizing multiple time zones in a calendaring and scheduling system, the method comprising the steps of:
- defining an event for a preferred time and a specified set of participants;
determining a time zone for each of said participants; and
, rendering a user interface showing a local time in said determined time zone corresponding to said preferred time for each of said participants.

Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for visualizing multiple time zones can include a C&S application, an event schedule managed by the C&S application, and multiple time zone processing logic coupled to the C&S application. The multiple time zone processing logic can determine a time zone for each participant to a defined event. The multiple time zone processing logic further can render a user interface showing a local time in the determined time zone corresponding to a preferred time for the defined event for each the participant. For instance, the user interface can include an arrangement of juxtaposed time ranges for each participant, where the time ranges have a staggered appearance so that a local time for each of the time ranges corresponds to the preferred time.
