Abstract:
1. A method for designating dates in an interactive travel calendar comprising: providing an interface for users to select event ranges, each event range having a start date that chronologically precedes an end date; receiving a signal designating a first date associated with an event; receiving a signal designating a second date associated with an event; comparing the first date and the second date after receiving the respective signals designating the first and second dates in order to automatically determine a chronological relationship between the first date and the second date; automatically determining a start date for an event range based upon the chronological relationship between the first date and the second date, with the start date being the date earlier chronologically among the first and second date and the end date being the date chronologically later among the first and second date; receiving a signal designating a new date associated with the event, wherein the new date is set as a new end date based on an automated determination that the new date falls chronologically within the event range, and the start date was selected before the end date, and wherein the new date is set as a new start date based on an automated determination that the new date falls chronologically within the event range, and the end date was selected before the start date; and presenting information reflecting the event range.
