User Interface for Electronic Backup
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying a backup interface, the backup interface being different from a user interface window and including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the user interface window and a visual representation of a current view of the user interface window, the backup interface further including a timeline, where the timeline represents a plurality of visual representations of earlier versions of the user interface window each representing a particular point in time, and where the timeline is a condensed timeline that includes a plurality of condensed tick marks, where each condensed tick mark represents multiple individual tick marks,wherein the timeline animates in response to user input based on cursor position including determining an identified tick mark, the identified tick mark having a shortest distance from a cursor position; and
spatially expanding the timeline to display individual tick marks relative to the identified tick mark.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. A method includes receiving, a first user input requesting that a backup interface be displayed, displaying the backup interface, the backup interface including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of a current view and a visual representation of the current view, the earlier version including a first element, receiving, while the backup interface is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element, animating the modification of the first element as moving from the visual representation of the earlier version to the visual representation of the current view, and modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element.

10. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors operable to interact with a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in order to perform operations comprising; displaying a backup interface, the backup interface being different from a user interface window and including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the user interface window and a visual representation of the current view of the user interface window, the backup interface further including a timeline, where the timeline represents a plurality of visual representations of earlier versions of the user interface window each representing a particular point in time, and where the timeline is a condensed timeline that includes a plurality of condensed tick marks, where each condensed tick mark represents multiple individual tick marks, wherein the timeline animates in response to user input based on cursor position including determining an identified tick mark, the identified tick mark having a shortest distance from a cursor position; and spatially expanding the timeline to display individual tick marks relative to the identified tick mark. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
-
displaying a backup interface, the backup interface being different from a user interface window and including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the user interface window and a visual representation of the current view of the user interface window, the backup interface further including a timeline, where the timeline represents a plurality of visual representations of earlier versions of the user interface window each representing a particular point in time, and where the timeline is a condensed timeline that includes a plurality of condensed tick marks, where each condensed tick mark represents multiple individual tick marks, wherein the timeline animates in response to user input based on cursor position including determining an identified tick mark, the identified tick mark having a shortest distance from a cursor position; and spatially expanding the timeline to display individual tick marks relative to the identified tick mark. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
