Methods and systems for deferring and resuming content from multiple applications. An application executing a client device may have an open content item, such as a file, document, or message. An input to park or defer the content item may be received. In response to the input, a data container for a parked item for the content item is created in a remote content-deferral platform. Metadata for the content item is retrieved and stored within the data container along with additional data, which may be user curated, to form the parked item. The parked item may then be accessed from multiple different applications via a park pane.

Deferring and accessing deferred content from multiple applications

A method that enables time as data is described herein. The method includes constructing a tree structure, wherein data of the tree structure is a plurality of time intervals, and layers of the tree below a root node comprise identical sibling nodes for layers above a threshold interval length and parent nodes share identical sibling nodes. The method also includes assigning a node identification to each node of the tree structure, wherein each node of the tree structure corresponds to a time interval, and traversing the tree structure to convert a timestamp to a human readable time.

Time systems as data

An apparatus for a real-time collaboration in calendar is described herein. The apparatus includes a state change module to receive a change notification at a second calendar client rendering a shared calendar. The apparatus also includes an identification module to retrieve an identification (ID) of calendar content, a change in a user interface state, and an extent of a calendar view from a first data structure. Finally, the apparatus includes a replica module of the second client to retrieve calendar content from a second data structure using the ID as an index value.

Real time collaboration in calendar

A system for a map calendar is described herein. The map calendar includes a calendar content database that is to store at least one item of calendar content and a navigation system that determines a zoom level and a panning position of the map calendar. The map calendar also includes a processor that is to determine a summarization level based on the zoom level and the panning position of the map calendar and render the calendar content according to the summarization level.

Digital map calendar user interface

A web application provides a custom selection for editing text on a gesture or touch screen. The application replaces native browser handles with selection handles to provide consistent user interface experience across platforms. The application also provides a scheme for semantic interpretation of browser gesture or touch events. The application standardizes browser events into a consistent stream of semantic events that are compatible with a plurality of devices and browsers. The application also provides a gesture or touch optimized user interface in the browser. The application determines gesture or touch input and optimizes the user interface according to the type of input.
