Description

用於改良使用者介面以提供任務管理以及行事曆資訊的方法及系統
本發明係有關於行事曆、行程安排與時間管理系統。 更明確地說，本發明係有關於一種可提供任務管理與行事曆資訊之改良式使用者介面。
隨著電腦時代的來臨，電腦與軟體使用者已逐漸習於使用者友善之軟體應用程式來幫助其書寫、計算、組織、準備會議報告、傳送與接收電子、創作音樂、及與其相似者。舉例而言，電子郵件系統允許使用者能夠傳送、接收、回應、以及儲存多種郵件訊息以及相關資訊。電子行事曆應用程式允許使用者能夠儲存、組織並檢視會議日期以及約會。電子任務管理應用程式允許使用者能夠儲存、組織、並檢視一使用者根據多種時間形成必須或想要完成之多種任務。
然而，即使在此類系統之可用功能中，某些使用者仍想要以一種簡短清單來顯示即將來臨的會議、約會、或任務。事實上，許多現代電子行事曆系統與任務管理應用程式的使用者經常會以紙張製作「待辦事項」清單並將之黏貼於他們的電腦螢幕或置於一顯眼的位置，以便提醒自己即將來臨的會議、約會、或任務，因為人們總傾向在列出了鉅細靡遺的行事曆或任務清單後，卻忘記以必要頻率來檢視這個行事曆或任務清單。其他使用者也是基於同樣的目的而使用書面的行事曆或時間管理系統。
相對應地，在相關領域中需要一種電子使用者介面，其可用於提供關於即將來臨之事件或任務的一種電子「待辦事項」清單，這樣的設計是由一使用者目前須分別操作的一種電子行事曆應用程式或任務管理應用程式衍生而來。本發明即是基於此種需求以及其他考量應運而生。
本發明之具體實施例藉由提出一種電子「待辦事項」列或清單(其後稱為「待辦事項列」)，在其中可向使用者提供一種即將來臨的任務、會議、約會及與其相似者之顯示，而解決了上述與其他問題。根據本發明之態樣，該電子待辦事項列可和一種多重功能軟體應用程式一起使用，或該電子待辦事項列可獨立於其他軟體應用程式之外使用。電子待辦事項列為一種使用者介面窗格，其中可以顯示任務、會議與約會。除了根據使用中的其他軟體應用程式或其他軟體功能而顯示於一使用者之電腦顯示螢幕上的其他軟體功能或使用者介面之外，該電子待辦事項列會持續地顯示於該螢幕上。因此，向使用者提出一種永遠可見之清單來顯示即將來臨的任務、會議與約會，而不須執行一獨立的任務應用程式或行事曆應用程式來檢視即將來臨的任務、會議或約會。
根據本發明之態樣，該待辦事項列包括一約會檢視元件，在其中顯示一或多種即將來臨的會議或約會。該待辦事項列亦包括一任務清單，在其中可顯示一即將來臨之任務。該任務清單可根據多種安排類別來顯示，且可提供一種捲軸列，以便允許一使用者能夠看到任務清單之可用顯示空間無法容納的任務。該待辦事項列亦可包括一種日期揀選控制項，其可用於選擇性地執行一獨立行事曆應用程式，或可將任務事項拖放至其上，以便根據揀選控制項之日期，在任務清單中將前述日期納入放入之項目上。可將一任務輸出欄位或面板包括於待辦事項列中，以便允許使用者能夠直接將一新輸入至待辦事項列中。
可自經由一獨立行事曆應用程式填入之一記憶區位置，載入顯示於約會檢視元件中之會議與約會資訊。可自由一獨立任務應用程式儲存與輸入之任務，或自其他資料包括標誌為任務項目之電子郵件項目，載入任務清單。此外，可經由前述之任務輸入面板將任務加至任務清單。
經由閱讀下列詳細說明並檢視附隨圖示，能了解本發明的這些與其他特徵與優點。必須了解，前述一般描述以及下列詳細敘述皆僅為示範性及說明性，對於所申請之本發明不具限制性。
如前所簡述，本發明之具體實施例係關於一種改良之使用者介面，以便在一持續之電腦產生的待辦事項清單或列中提供任務管理以及行事曆資訊。本發明之電子待辦事項列提供由一獨立維持之電子行事曆和/或任務管理應用程式填入之即將來臨的任務、會議與約會的一種清單。
在下列詳細說明中，會參照形成本說明書之一部份的附隨圖示來說明，且在其中基於說明之目的顯示了特定具體實施例或實施例。可將這些具體實施例加以結合，可利用其他具體實施例，且可在不悖離本發明之範圍於精神之情形下對之進行結構上之改變。因此，下列詳細說明不應視為對由附隨申請專利範圍及其等價物所界定之本發明之範圍的限制。
參照圖示，其中相似參照數字代表相似在多種圖片中之相似元件，此處將描述本發明之態樣以及示範性作業環境。第1圖與下列說明之用意在於對可實作本發明之一種適當運算環境提供一簡短、一般性之描述。雖然在與可和於一個人電腦的一作業系統上執行之一種應用程式一起執行的應用程式模組之一般脈絡下來描述本發明，習知技藝人士能夠理解本發明亦可和其他程式模組一起實作。
一般而言，程式模組包括常式、應用程式、元件、資料結構、以及其他能夠執行特定任務或實作特定抽象資料類型之結構類型。更有甚者，習知技藝人士能夠理解，可在其他電腦系統組態中操作本發明，包括手持式裝置、多處理器系統、以微處理器為基礎或可程式化之消費性電子產品、迷你電腦、主機電腦、及與其相似者。亦可於分散式運算環境中操作本電腦，在該處由透過一通訊網路連結之遠端處理裝置來執行任務。在一分散式運算環境中，程式模組亦可位於區域與遠端兩種記憶儲存裝置中。
參照第1圖，將描述可用於實作本發明多種具體實施例之一種個人電腦2的說明性電腦架構。第1圖中所示之電腦架構闡明一傳統個人電腦，包括一中央處理單元4(「CPU」)；一系統記憶體6，包括一隨機存取記憶體8(「RAM」)以及一讀記憶體(「ROM」)10；以及一系統匯流排12，其可將記憶體耦合至CPU 4。ROM 10中儲存了一基本輸入/輸出系統，其含有基本常式，能夠幫助例如開機過程中電腦中元件之間的資訊傳輸。個人電腦2更包括一種大量儲存裝置14，可用於儲存一作業系統16、應用程式例如應用程式205、以及資料。
該大量儲存裝置14係經由連接於匯流排12的一種儲存控制器(此處未顯示)連接到CPU 4。該大量儲存裝置14以及與其相關聯之電腦可都取媒體對個人電腦2提供了非易變之儲存。雖然本說明書包含之電腦可讀取媒體的敘述係指一大量儲存裝置，例如一硬碟或CD－ROM光碟機，習知技藝人士必須了解，電腦可讀取媒體可以是個人電腦2可存取之任何可用媒體。
作為實施例且非限制，電腦可讀取媒體可至少包含電腦儲存媒體以及通訊媒體。電腦儲存媒體包括以任何方法或技術實作，可用於儲存資訊之易變與非易變、可移除與不可移除媒體，前述資訊例如電腦可讀取指令、資料結構、程式模組、或其他資料。電腦儲存媒體包括但不限於，RAM、ROM、EPROM、EEPROM、快閃記憶體、或其他固態記憶體技術、CD－ROM、DVD、或其他光學儲存裝置、磁匣、磁帶、磁碟儲存裝置、或其他磁性儲存裝置、或任何其他可用來存取所需資訊且可供電腦存取之媒體。
根據本發明之多種具體實施例，個人電腦2可在一網路化環境中作業，其係利用邏輯連線經由一TCP/IP網路18如網際網路連接至遠端電腦。個人電腦2可透過連接於匯流排12之一種網路介面單元20連接至TCP/IP網路18。必須了解，亦可利用網路介面單元20來連接至其他網路類型與遠端電腦系統。個人電腦2亦可包括一輸入/輸出控制器22，其可用於接收與處理來自多種裝置包括鍵盤與滑鼠(此處未顯示)之輸入。相似地，一輸入/輸出控制器22可提供輸出至一顯示螢幕、一印表機、或其他類型之輸出裝置。
如上文所簡述，可將多種程式模組與資料檔案儲存於個人電腦2之大量儲存裝置14與RAM 8中，包括適合用於控制一網路化個人電腦之作業的一種作業系統16，例如由位於華盛頓州Redmond之微軟公司推出的WINDOWS作業系統。大量儲存裝置14與RAM 8亦可儲存一或多種應用程式應用程式。特別是，大量儲存裝置14與RAM 8可儲存一應用程式105，其可用於提供多種功能給一使用者。舉例而言，應用程式105可至少包含多種應用程式類型，例如一文字處理應用程式、一電子製表應用程式、一桌面發佈、及與其相似者。根據本發明之一種具體實施例，應用程式105至少包含一種多重功能軟體應用程式，可用於提供一使用者行事曆功能、電子任務功能、電子郵件功能、連絡資訊功能、電子記事功能、電子日記功能及與其相似者。個別程式模組中的某些至少包含多重功能應用程式105，包括一行事曆應用程式125、一電子郵件應用程式130、一連絡資訊應用程式135、一任務應用程式140、一記事應用程式145、以及一日記應用程式(此處未顯示)。此種多重功能應用程式105的一種實施例就是微軟公司製造的OUTLOOK。
第2圖闡明根據本發明之具體實施例的一種電子郵件應用程式使用者介面之一種電腦螢幕顯示。使用者介面200闡明了一種電子郵件應用程式130使用者介面，其可用於顯示在多種儲存資料夾中接收、傳送或儲存之電子郵件。第2圖中闡明之電子郵件應用程式使用者介面的一種實施例係由位於華盛頓州Redmond之微軟公司製造銷售的OUTLOOK所提出。
第2圖中闡明之使用者介面200包括一收件夾210，使用者可利用其檢視使用者已接收、使用者已傳送、或已儲存於一或多種使用者所建立之儲存資料夾中之電子郵件項目的一種列表。如第2圖中所示，將多種電子郵件項目列表於收件夾窗格210中。在收件夾210的右邊，顯示了一讀取窗格或預覽230，其可用於顯示一所選郵件項目之內容。
沿著使用者介面200的左下角為一種應用程式選擇窗格225，其含有可選擇之功能控制項，其可用於選擇多重功能軟體應用程式105(如上所述)可提供之其他功能類型，使用者之電子郵件應用程式即是尤其所提供。舉例而言，電子郵件使用者介面200之顯示內容係回應對「郵件」控制項之選擇。若使用者想要執行和一任務應用程式140相關聯之一種使用者介面，使用者可選擇該「任務」控制項，以便執行該任務應用程式140之功能，包括與該任務應用程式相關聯之一種使用者介面200之展示。相似地，使用者可選擇「連絡資訊」控制項，以便執行一連絡資訊應用程式135之功能以及可用於顯示一連絡資訊應用程式135之資訊與功能之一種相關聯的使用者介面200。
同樣參照第2圖，闡明了一種待辦事項列240。根據本發明之具體實施例本發明，由多重功能應用程式105來提供待辦事項列240之功能。如下所述，根據一種所顯示之本發明之具體實施例，待辦事項列240包括一日期揀選控制項、一約會/會議檢視、一任務輸入面板、以及一種任務清單。根據具體實施例，待辦事項列240會根據預設沿著使用者介面200的右側顯示。然而，如同下文參照第9圖所述，可改變待辦事項列240之顯示以便適應不同螢幕大小與組態，且能因應其他軟體應用程式使用者介面之特定需求。
根據本發明之具體實施例，待辦事項列240永遠會顯示於使用者介面200中，使得一使用者能夠快速且輕易地檢視即將來臨的會議、約會與任務，而不須執行特定應用程式，例如，行事曆應用程式與任務應用程式，以便得到該資訊。舉例而言，若自控制項窗格225選擇「連絡資訊」控制項以便執行一連絡資訊應用程式135之功能，以及一相關聯之使用者介面200，待辦事項列240仍會持續顯示於使用者介面200中。相似地，若使用者之後又選擇另一種應用程式，例如，一任務應用程式140，待辦事項列240之顯示仍會持續存在於使用者介面中。如下所述，使用者可隨己意關閉待辦事項列240之顯示。然而，根據本發明之具體實施例，待辦事項列240的一種預設設定可指定不論在使用者介面200之其他部份顯示之資訊或功能為何，仍然會持續顯示待辦事項列240，使得使用者能擁有一種隨時可用之即將來臨的會議、約會與任務的列表。
根據本發明之具體實施例，可利用由代辦事項列自多種來源彙總而成的多種約會、會議、任務以及與任務相似之項目填入待辦事項列240(任務清單、約會/會議檢視)之元件。亦即，來自待辦事項列可存取之任何記憶來源之待辦事項列能夠取回任何經標記供待辦事項列識別之資料項目。一旦待辦事項列取回了此種經標記之資料項目，待辦事項列240可彙總該資料項目且將之顯示於待辦事項列之一或多種元件中。舉例而言，任何數目之資料項目，包括電子郵件項目、會議要求、會議要求回應、任務、報告標題、電子試算表中之資料項目等，皆可加以標記並視為任務對待之。一旦經標記視為任務，待辦事項列可搜尋該資料項目、彙總該資料項目、且之後可在待辦事項列之任務清單中顯示該資料項目。相似地，待辦事項列可自如電子行事曆等來源搜尋經標記視為會議或約會之項目。之後待辦事項列可於待辦事項列之約會/會議檢視中彙總並顯示取回之會議或約會項目，如下所述。可供待辦事項列搜尋之記憶區域的實施例包括與其他應用程式相關聯之區域，例如，電子郵件應用程式、行事曆應用程式、任務應用程式、及與其相似者。
參照第3圖，可根據多種使用者動作，選擇性地隱藏待辦事項列240。舉例而言，可選擇位在待辦事項列右上角之關閉控制項310來隱藏或關閉待辦事項列240。或者是，可在沿著使用者介面200之上緣或其他位置配置之功能控制項的一種工具列中配置一待辦事項列按鈕305，以用於選性地開啟與關閉待辦事項列240。或者是，可提供一檢視選單，一使用者可於該處選擇或取消待辦事項列240之顯示。根據另一種替代性方案，可選擇一功能控制項，例如，ALT＋F2，將待辦事項列240切換至關閉位置。相似地，可藉由於可選擇之功能控制項的工具列中選擇一待辦事項列按鈕305，來執行待辦事項列240以供顯示，如第2圖中所示。可自一檢視選單選擇一待辦事項列選單項目。或者如上所述，可選擇一功能鍵如ALT＋F2，將待辦事項列240切換至一開啟(顯示)位置。
參照第4圖，闡明一種檢視選單400，可根據本發明之具體實施例執行該檢視選單400，以用於選擇性地顯示待辦事項列240。當自檢視選單400選擇待辦事項列控制項420之後，會提供一種延伸式選單460，以便允許使用者能夠設定顯示詳細資料，待辦事項列240中包含之資訊可和其一起顯示。如第4圖中所示，在延伸式選單460中，已選擇「顯示待辦事項列」控制項，使得待辦事項列240會顯示於使用者介面200中。已選擇一「開始日期」詳細資料430，使得可根據開始日期來分類待辦事項列240中包含之資訊。舉例而言，亦可選擇待辦事項列240中包含之任務之其他分類類別以及其他資訊，例如，「指派給」、「建立人」等。
在延伸式選單460的下方部份，顯示了可用於選擇在待辦事項列460中顯示(或，移除顯示)不同元件之控制項。舉例而言，已選擇一「顯示日期揀選」控制項440，使得日期揀選使用者介面會顯示於待辦事項列240中。另一方面，若使用者於在其正在檢視與使用者之行事曆應用程式125相關聯之功能與資訊時，將待辦事項列240開啟，則使用者可將會議/約會檢視自待辦事項列240關閉，以便在待辦事項列240中提供額外的空間供額外任務資訊使用。已選擇一種「顯示約會」控制項445，使得待辦事項列240之約會/會議檢視部份能夠顯示於螢幕上，以便秀出即將來臨的會議與約會。也會選擇一種「顯示任務輸入面板」控制項，使得待辦事項列240之任務輸入面板會顯示在待辦事項列240中。應該瞭解，可以選擇來自延伸式選單460之其他控制項，以便將其他特性套用至待辦事項列240。可以由延伸式選單460以及相關說明發現，日期揀選控制項、約會/會議檢視、以及任務輸入面板可選擇性地顯示或不顯示於待辦事項列240中。在任何情形中，根據預設，待辦事項列240之任務清單永遠會顯示。因此’一使用者可如此處所述地個人化待辦事項列240中之元件的顯示。
已經連同使用者介面200並參照第2、3、與4圖描述了待辦事項列240的一般態樣，第5至9圖闡明了待辦事項列240之不同元件，並描述待辦事項列240中資料之填入與維護。先參照第5圖，闡明了日期揀選控制項500。根據本發明之具體實施例，不論使用者當前所使用之應用程式使用者介面為何，例如，連絡資訊應用程式使用者介面、電子郵件使用者介面、及與其相似者，待辦事項列240會顯示至少一種日期揀選控制項500，除非使用者關閉該控制項。日期揀選控制項500不僅可作為一種可見之行事曆，亦會根據應用程式提供關於控制項500中包含之詳細資料乃至於日期數目的額外資訊。舉例而言，會將含有一會議或約會之日期標示為粗體，而當前的日期則是以紅色方格標記。而且，選擇一特定日期可允許一使用者能夠巡覽與該日期相關聯之資訊。亦即，根據一具體實施例’藉由選擇一特定日期，可將與該日期相關聯之會議、約會、或任務填入待辦事項列240中。此外，如下所述’選擇一特定日期可以自動地將行事曆應用程式使用者介面於使用者介面200中執行，以便顯示與自日期揀選控制項500所選之該日期相關聯之行事曆資訊。
若增加待辦事項列240之寬度，或若增加含有日期揀選控制項500之待辦事項列240的區域之高度，則當空間許可時，便可顯示額外的日期揀選。根據一較佳具體實施例，除非使用者關閉該日期揀選控制項500，在待辦事項列240中會顯示至少一種日期揀選控制項500。根據本發明之具體實施例，可將來自待辦事項列240中之任務清單的任務以及來自任務應用程式140之任務拖放至日期揀選控制項500中之一特定日期。將一任務拖放至日期揀選控制項500中的一特定日期會導致所拖放任務之開始日期變成該任務所拖放之日期。相似地，可將來自一電子郵件應用程式之電子郵件項目拖放至日期揀選控制項500中的一特定日期。將來自一電子郵件收件夾之一電子郵件項目拖放至日期揀選控制項中的一特定日期，會將該郵件項目標記成一種任務，會在待辦事項列240中之任務清單內建立一任務，且會將該電子郵件項目被拖放於控制項500中之該日期作為此一任務的開始日期。
根據一具體實施例，若使用者所使用的主要應用程式是一種行事曆應用程式125，該日期揀選控制項500不會出現在待辦事項列240中。對於非行事曆應用程式，例如，任務應用程式140、聯絡資訊應用程式135、以及電子郵件應用程式130，在日期揀選控制項500中選擇一日期，會立刻將所顯示之使用者介面切換至行事曆應用程式使用者介面，且會選擇該使用者之預設行事曆。該預設行事曆會改成一種單日檢視且會將行事曆移動到使用者在日期揀選控制項500中所選擇的日期。若一使用者改變待辦事項列240中之日期揀選控制項500所顯示之月份，則不會自動執行該行事曆應用程式125，除非使用者在日期揀選控制項500中顯示之月份中選擇一特定日期。
參照第6圖，闡明了待辦事項列240之約會/會議元件。在約會/會議檢視中闡明了一種第一約會610以及一第二約會620。根據一較佳具體實施例，如第6圖中所示，會將一最適當日期附加於該約會標題之開頭。雙擊一約會610，則620會開啟整個約會項目，而一種第二次的選擇，例如，右鍵點選一約會610，則610會提供該所選約會之一種快顯功能表以便對該項目提供額外之行事曆與約會功能。可重新調整待辦事項列240之約會/會議檢視區域大小，以便加入更多約會/會議至該待辦事項列240。根據一較佳具體實施例，最少會顯示一個約會/會議，除非使用者關閉該約會/會議檢視。
參照第7圖(且同時參照第2圖)，提出一種任務輸入面板710。一任務輸入面板710為一種編輯方塊，其允許使用者能夠鍵入使用者想要加入至任務清單以及與一獨立任務應用程式140相關聯之任務記憶中的一種新任務的標題。若使用者輸入一任務標題至任務輸入面板710中，會立刻產生具有該指定標題的一種新任務，且將之加入至任務清單中目前所設定日期的最底端。
在任務輸入面板的右方闡明一旗標圖示。如習知技藝人士已知，可利用旗標圖示來識別經標誌具有某些特性之一種項目。舉例而言，如任務輸入面板710中所示的一種三重旗標圖示，可指示所標誌項目的開始日期為今日。一雙重旗標圖示可指示所標誌項目的開始日期為一週之內，以及一種單一旗標圖示可指示所標誌項目的開始日期為本週之後。
額外地，可利用一種有色方塊圍繞在所標誌圖示州周圍，如同第2圖中所示之有色方塊250，以便指示其他特性例如針對該任務之一種系統定義或或使用者定義之類別。舉例而言，對於所有任務當其擁有具一特定工作計畫之待辦事項時，將之與綠色相關聯；對於所有任務當其與一個人計畫相關聯時，將之與橘色相關聯等等。
根據本發明之具體實施例，使用者可藉由選擇所標誌之圖示或利用可用來編輯與一特定項目相關聯之旗標的一種特性選單，來編輯與一特定任務項目相關聯之特性。舉例而言，回應選擇該旗標圖示而執行的一種快顯功能表可允許使用者能夠將與該任務相關聯之開始日期由例如本週改變至下一週。再舉一例，使用者可選擇性地改變與該任務相關聯之一類別，例如由工作計畫類別改變至個人計畫類別。關於任務標誌之詳細說明，參見美國專利申請案，Attorney/Agent No.60001.0419US01，Applicant Matter No.MS309466.01，標題為「可用於改良電子任務製造與管理之方法與系統」，此處視同將該申請案完整納入作為參照。
參照第8圖，描述待辦事項列240(第2圖中所述)中所示之任務清單。任務清單800包括一欄位810可識別與該任務清單相關聯之分類或排列特性。根據本發明之具體實施例，可根據類別、開始日期、到期日、指派給、建立人、類型、或自訂，來排列任務清單800中所包括之任務。根據一種自訂排列，使用者可定義一種可用來排列或分類個別任務項目的方式。應可了解，任務清單800中所示之區段與任務係基於示範性之目的，而不應限制可顯示之不同任務的類型以及排列顯示於任務清單800中之任務時可用之不同分類類別。
第8圖中所示之任務清單800係根據「開始日期」來排列。相對應地，在任務清單800的最上方圖示了一種「今天」區段，在其下包括了開始日期為今日之任務。圖示了一「明天」區段850，在其下包括了開始日期為明天之任務。在任務清單800中亦闡明了一「星期五」區段以及一「更久之後」區段。根據本發明之具體實施例，會追蹤分類在這些類別下的任務項目，並於必要時將之移動到不同的類別。舉例而言，目前分類在「明天」標題下的一種任務項目，會在當天午夜過後移動到「今天」類別或區段下。與一「開始日期」排列相關聯之標題可包括多種標題，如「今天」、「明天」、「星期一」、「星期二」、「星期三」、「星期四」、「星期五」、「星期六」、「星期日」、「本週」、「下週」、「兩週後」、「三週後」、「下個月」、以及「下個月之後」、等等。應該了解，前述可能標題之清單僅為示範，而非限制待辦事項列可用來組織任務清單中之項目的標題之種類。
可隨一使用者之決定，將個別任務項目置於不同之排列類別。根據本發明之具體實施例，可自一項目將個別任務項目拖放至另一項目。舉例而言，參照第8圖，若使用者決定一任務須在今天開始而非明天，則可將目前位於「明天」標題850下之該相關聯任務項目拖放到「今天」標題815下。若使用者將一任務項目拖放到一不同類別中，該任務項目會立刻移動到該新類別，且與其相關聯之旗標圖示845會改變以便反應該受影響之任務項目的新位置。此外，若有需要時，一使用者可手動地重新排序一特定類別中之任務。舉例而言，參照第8圖，一使用者可將列在「今天」標題815下的任務項目重新排序，以便向使用者強調處理在受影響之類別中所含任務的較佳順序。
對於任務清單800中所含的每一種任務，會包括一標題830以便識別該標題和/或該任務之本質。在每一種個別任務的左手邊，可提供圖示以便識別一特定任務之來源。舉例而言，可利用圖示825來表示該相關聯之任務係自由一任務應用程式140輸入之資訊所取得。可利用信封圖示835表示該相關聯之任務是由一所接收之電子郵件項目所標誌之任務。在個別任務右手邊所示之旗標圖示845係用於指示關於該相關聯任務之開始日期以及套用至該相關聯任務之類別的資訊，如上所述。
參照第9圖，闡明了可用於待辦事項列的另一種顯示格式。應可了解，某些形狀與大小之電腦顯示螢幕以及某些軟體應用程式使用者介面布局可能需要不同的待辦事項列240之顯示布局。參照第9圖，闡明了待辦事項列的一種顯示布局，其可用於沿著電腦螢幕顯示器和/或使用者介面顯示之上緣或下緣來顯示待辦事項列。第9圖中所示之待辦事項列900，包括配置於待辦事項列900左方之一種日期揀選控制項920。一任務輸入面板930以及一約會/會議檢視窗格940則配置於水平緊臨日期揀選控制項920處。任務清單950係配置於水平排列之待辦事項列900的右方。應可了解，根據如第9圖中所示之替代性布局來利用一待辦事項列，可能會允許在任務清單或約會/會議檢視中顯示額外的資訊。舉例而言，假定在第9圖中所示之替代性顯示布局中有額外的空間可供任務項目使用，則該多種任務項目的每一種就可能顯示額外的文字。
如本說明書所述，提出了一種改良之使用者介面，其可用於在一持續存在且由電腦產生之待辦事項清單或列中，提供任務管理以及行事曆資訊。該電子待辦事項列提供了一清單，其內容為由一獨立維護之電子行事曆和/或任務管理應用程式所填入之即將來臨的任務、會議與約會。習知技藝人士可明白，可在不悖離本發明之範圍與精神的情形下，對本發明進行修改與變形。在考量此處所揭露之本發明的說明與實作之後，習知技藝人士可了解本發明之其他具體實施例。
