Abstract
Systems and methods integrate various types of scheduling information to create a single spatial view of a schedule. The spatial view enables observation of one's schedule at a glance and reduces the need for accessing additional information from other sources in order to comprehend scheduling information. Thus, users can access information regarding the time, location, and subject matter of appointments and/or events in a single location without the hassle of looking back and forth between various information sources. This helps users meet their scheduled appointments and events in an on-time and prepared manner.
