Database Interface to Create Queries for Multiple Databases

A method comprising:

• sending a request from a local computer to a remote computer, the request comprising a request for query update information located on the remote computer, the local computer in communication with one or more local databases over a local network, the remote computer being remote from the local network;
• receiving query update information from the remote computer;
• updating a set of scheduled queries based on the query update information, the query update information comprising one or more of updates to the set of scheduled queries and one or more new queries;
• sending each query of the updated set of scheduled queries to an applicable local database of the one or more local databases;
• receiving results of the queries;
• and
• providing access to the results.

An apparatus comprising:

• a query information update module that stores query update information on a remote computer, the query update information comprising one or more of information to update a scheduled query and one or more new queries, the query update information for updating a set of scheduled queries to one or more local databases available to one or more local computers on a local network, the remote computer not part of the local network;
• a query request receiver module that receives a request for the query update information from a local computer on the local network;
• and
• a query update transfer module that sends the query update information to the local computer on the local network in response to receiving the request for the query update information.

A method comprising:

• storing query update information on a remote computer, the query update information comprising one or more of information to update a scheduled query and one or more new queries, the query update information for updating a set of scheduled queries to one or more local databases available to one or more local computers on a local network, the remote computer not part of the local network;
• receiving a request for the query update information from a local computer on the local network;
• and
• sending the query update information to the local computer on the local network in response to receiving the request for the query update information.

An apparatus comprising:

• a group scheduling module that creates a group, the group comprising users of a mobile application that executes on a mobile device, each user related to an individual with information stored in a database;
• a group execution module that enables, at a specified time, one or more queries to the database, the one or more queries to extract information regarding the individuals related to the group of users of the mobile application, the one or more queries being unavailable for execution prior to the specified time;
• a location module that determines that a mobile device with the mobile application executing is within a specified area after the specified time;
• a trigger module that executes at least one of the one or more queries to the database in response to determining that the location module has determined that the mobile device with the mobile application executing is within the specified area, the executed queries directed to extracting information from the database regarding the individual related to the user of the mobile device within the specified area;
• and
• a mobile transfer module that sends results of the one or more queries executed by the trigger module to the mobile device that the location module determined to be in the specified area after the specified time.

A method comprising:

• enabling, at a specified time, one or more queries to the database, the one or more queries to extract information regarding the individuals related to the group of users of the mobile application, the one or more queries being unavailable for execution prior to the specified time;
• determining that a mobile device with the mobile application executing is within a specified area after the specified time;
• executing at least one of the one or more queries to the database in response to determining that the mobile device with the mobile application executing is within the specified area, the executed queries directed to extracting information from the database regarding the individual related to the user of the mobile device within the specified area;
• and
• sending results of the one or more executed queries to the mobile device determined to be in the specified area after the specified time.
