Patent ID: 8229411

Claim:
A computing device-implemented method, the method comprising: displaying a receding timeline to fade back toward a horizon, the receding timeline including a starting point at a current time that is updated with a changing time; receiving a first time-related item from a peripheral application; receiving a second time-related item from the peripheral application, the second time-related item being different than the first time-related item; creating a first graphic based on the first time-related item, the first graphic displaying the first time-related item; creating a second graphic based on the second time-related item, the second graphic displaying the second time-related item and being different than the first graphic; displaying the first graphic, including the first time-related item, at a first point after the starting point of the receding timeline; displaying the second graphic, including the second time-related item, at a second point, after the starting point, of the receding timeline; and reducing a graphic size of the first graphic proportionally with the changing time of the receding timeline.
