A system and method for visually representing overlapping time-based activities in a small footprint device

摘要

A system and method for visually representing overlapping time-based activities, the method being implemented in a small footprint device. A user of a small footprint device may initiate a query to display time based activities for a selected day. The application program may create a list of time based activities which meet selection criteria specified. Non-overlapping groups may be created from the list of time based activities such that all overlapping time based activities may be included in one group. Overlapping time based activities within one group may be visually represented in different columns created on a display screen of a small footprint device. Non-overlapping time based activities within one group may be visually represented in the same column created on a display screen of a small footprint device.
