Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a user interface comprising: causing a timeline to be displayed on a display screen of a device; causing one or more user interface elements to be displayed along the timeline, wherein each user interface element is associated with an event that is characterized by one or more event attributes, including a temporal attribute, each user interface element is displayed in a position along the timeline that is based on the temporal attribute, and each user interface element is displayed with a visual representation of a first set of the event attributes; receiving a user input; performing, based on the user input, a modification of at least one of a spatial zoom level and a displayed position of a user interface element along the timeline of the user interface element, whereby different positions along the timeline cause the user interface element to assume spatial zoom levels revealing different attributes according to the relative position along the time line; and causing, based on the modification, at least one of the user interface elements to be displayed with a visual representation of a second set of event attributes that is different from the first set of event attributes.
