DYNAMIC NAVIGATION OF RANGES IN CALENDAR VIEWS
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating enhanced calendar views. In an implementation, an initial range in a series of calendar units is presented in a calendar view. An initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range is also presented. Responsive to a user input, a navigation effect is presented with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units. A subsequent perspective associated with a subsequent position established within the subsequent range is then presented
1 . One or more computer readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon for facilitating an enhanced calendar view that, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to at least:
present an initial range in a series of calendar units;
present an initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range;
responsive to a user input, present a navigation effect with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units; and
present a subsequent calendar perspective associated with a subsequent position established within the subsequent range.
2 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 1 wherein to present the initial range in the series of calendar units, the program instructions direct the computing system to present a time strip comprising the initial range.
3 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 2 wherein the program instructions direct the computing system to arrange the time strip above the initial calendar perspective in the enhanced calendar view.
4 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 3 wherein the series of calendar units comprises a plurality of calendar units in a sequential order.
5 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 4 wherein the plurality of calendar units comprises a plurality of months and wherein the initial position corresponds to a selected month in the plurality of months.
6 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 5 wherein the initial calendar perspective comprises a monthly perspective on the selected month.
7 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 6 wherein the subsequent position corresponds to a subsequently selected month in the plurality of months and wherein the subsequent calendar perspective comprises a subsequent monthly perspective on the subsequently selected month.
8 . The one or more computer readable storage media of claim 1 wherein the navigation effect comprises a scrolling effect and wherein the user input comprises a swiping gesture.
9 . A method for facilitating an enhanced calendar view comprising:
presenting an initial range in a series of calendar units;
presenting an initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range;
responsive to a user input, presenting a navigation effect with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units; and
presenting a subsequent calendar perspective associated with a subsequent position established within the subsequent range.
10 . The method of claim 9 wherein presenting the initial range in the series of calendar units comprises a time strip having the initial range represented therein.
11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising arranging the time strip above the initial calendar perspective in the enhanced calendar view.
12 . The method of claim 11 wherein the series of calendar units comprises a plurality of calendar units in a sequential order.
13 . The method of claim 12 wherein the plurality of calendar units comprises a plurality of months and wherein the initial position corresponds to a selected month in the plurality of months.
14 . The method of claim 13 wherein the initial calendar perspective comprises a monthly perspective on the selected month.
15 . The method of claim 14 wherein the subsequent position corresponds to a subsequently selected month in the plurality of months and wherein the subsequent calendar perspective comprises a subsequent monthly perspective on the subsequently selected month.
16 . The method of claim 15 wherein the navigation effect comprises a scrolling effect and wherein the user input comprises a swiping gesture.
17 . A computing apparatus comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media;
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media;
a processing system that, when executing the program instructions, is directed by the program instructions to initiate presentation of an initial range in a series of calendar units, initiate presentation of an initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range, and responsive to a user input, initiate presentation of a navigation effect with respect to the series of calendar units comprising scrolling from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units.
18 . The computing apparatus of claim 17 wherein the processing system is further directed to present a subsequent calendar perspective associated with a subsequent position established within the subsequent range.
19 . The computing apparatus of claim 18 wherein the series of calendar units comprises a series of months, wherein the initial position comprises a month, and wherein the initial perspective comprises a monthly perspective on the month.
20 . The computing apparatus of claim 17 wherein the user input comprises a dragging gesture.
