Abstract

In some embodiments, a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a multi-week view in a calendar application on the display and detects a first input by a user. In response to detecting the first input by the user, the device selects a first calendar entry in the multi-week view in the calendar application. While continuing to detect selection of the first calendar entry by the user, the device detects a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, and in response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the device expands display of a single week in the multi-week view; and maintains display of the first calendar entry on the display. In some embodiments, the device moves the first calendar entry to a date and time in the calendar application in accordance with a second input by the user.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

at a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface;

while continuing to detect the first input indicating selection of the first calendar entry by the user;

detecting a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

in response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

expanding display of a single week in the multi-week view; and

maintaining display of the first calendar entry on the display; and

moving the first calendar entry to a date and time in the calendar application in accordance with a second input by the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first multifinger gesture is a two-finger depinching gesture.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein expanding display of the single week in the multi-week view comprises replacing display of the multi-week view with display of a single-week view in the calendar application.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the single week that is expanded is the single week in the multi-week view that the first calendar entry is displayed over when the first multifinger gesture is detected.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second input by the user is a continuation of the first input.

6. The method of claim 3, including:

while displaying the single-week view in the calendar application and while continuing to detect selection of the first calendar entry by the user;

detecting a finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface; and

,

in response to detecting the finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, scrolling the display of the single-week view in the calendar.

7. The method of claim 3, including:

while displaying the single-week view in the calendar application and while continuing to detect selection of the first calendar entry by the user;

detecting a second multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface; and

,

in response to detecting the second multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

replacing display of the single-week view with display of a multi-week view in the calendar application, and

maintaining display of the first calendar entry on the display.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the second multifinger gesture is a gesture that is the opposite of the first multifinger gesture.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein replacing display of the single-week view with display of the multi-week view comprises displaying an animation of a transition from the single-week view to a multi-week view.

10. A graphical user interface on a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, the graphical user interface comprising:

a multi-week view in a calendar application; and

a first calendar entry in the multi-week view;

wherein, in response to detecting a first input by a user;

the first calendar entry in the multi-week view in the calendar application is selected;

while continuing to detect the first input indicating selection of the first calendar entry by the user;

in response to detecting a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

display of a single week in the multi-week view is expanded; and

display of the first calendar entry on the display is maintained; and

the first calendar entry is moved to a date and time in the calendar application in accordance with a second input by the user.

11. A multifunction device, comprising:

a display;

a touch-sensitive surface;

one or more processors;

memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;

displaying a multi-week view in a calendar application on the display;

detecting a first input by a user;

in response to detecting the first input by the user, selecting a first calendar entry in the multi-week view in the calendar application;

while continuing to detect the first input indicating selection of the first calendar entry by the user;

detecting a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

in response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;

expanding display of a single week in the multi-week view; and

maintaining display of the first calendar entry on the display; and

moving the first calendar entry to a date and time in the calendar application in accordance with a second input by the user.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the first multifinger gesture is a two-finger depinching gesture.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein expanding display of the single week in the multi-week view comprises replacing display of the multi-week view with display of a single-week view in the calendar application.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein the single week that is expanded is the single week in the multi-week view that the first calendar entry is displayed over when the first multifinger gesture is detected.

16. The device of claim 11, wherein the second input by the user is a continuation of the first input.

17. The device of claim 14, further comprising instructions for:
