Scheduling system with interactive graphical user interface for appointments
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11907912B2) outlines a method and system for managing appointments through an interactive graphical user interface. The system 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 previous appointments, generates new movable cells, and populates them accordingly. The system allows for easy rescheduling by moving cells between sections of the interface, determining the location of the cell, and generating a new appointment based on the cell's position.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional features such as generating overlay windows with appointment details upon hovering over a cell and the ability to handle multiple rebooking requests for different clients. The system is designed to streamline the appointment management process by providing a visual representation of appointments, making it easier for administrators to manage and reschedule appointments efficiently. By utilizing visually movable cells and a structured interface, the system aims to enhance the user experience and improve the overall efficiency of appointment scheduling and management processes.
