Scheduling system with interactive graphical user interface for appointments
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11907912B2) describes a method and system for managing appointments through an interactive graphical user interface. The method involves generating an interface with visually movable cells representing scheduled appointments for clients and service providers. When a request to rebook an appointment is received, the system identifies previously scheduled appointments, generates new movable cells, and populates them accordingly. The system then determines the location of the new appointment within the interface and generates a new upcoming appointment based on the scheduling data associated with the selected cell.
Furthermore, the system allows for the identification of service providers, dates, and times associated with the new appointment, facilitating the scheduling process. An overlay window with details of prior appointments can be generated by hovering over a cell. The system also supports multiple client appointments, generating separate movable cells for each client's scheduled appointments. Overall, the method and system provide a user-friendly interface for efficiently managing and rebooking appointments, enhancing the scheduling process for both clients and service providers.
