Systems and methods for radial display of time based information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying by a computing system of a radial configuration of time based information in a graphical user interface of said computing system, said radial configuration of time based information comprising a radial timeline;
displaying by said computing system of a graphical object representative of an event along a segment of said radial timeline in said graphical user interface, wherein a position of said graphical object along said segment of said radial timeline indicates a particular range of time associated with said event;
graphically scrolling by said computing system of said radial timeline within said graphical user interface based on a natural passage of time; and
moving by said computing system of said graphical object in conjunction with said scrolling of said radial timeline within said graphical user interface.

Abstract
In certain embodiments, a radial configuration of time based information and a graphical object representative of an event are displayed together in a graphical user interface. A position of the graphical object relative to the radial configuration of time based information in the graphical user interface is configured to indicate a relationship between the event and the time based information. In certain embodiments, the radial configuration of time based information includes a visual representation of an analog clock face, and the graphical object includes a tab positioned along a perimeter of the analog clock face. In certain embodiments, the radial configuration of time based information includes a visual representation of a timeline spirally disposed about at least one axis point, and the graphical object is positioned along a section of the timeline.

22. A system comprising:
-
a user interface facility configured to provide a graphical user interface for display; and a radial time facility comprising at least one physical processor configured to provide data representing a radial configuration of time based information to said user interface facility for display in said graphical user interface, said radial configuration of time based information comprising a radial timeline, provide data representing a graphical object representative of an event to said user interface facility for display along a segment of said radial timeline in said graphical user interface, wherein a position of said graphical object along said segment of said radial timeline indicates a particular range of time associated with said event, direct said user interface facility to graphically scroll said radial timeline within said graphical user interface based on a natural passage of time, and direct said user interface facility to move said graphical object in conjunction with said scrolling of said radial timeline within said graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (23)
