  • Patent number: 9990407
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for creating a user-defined database interface. An Orbit Form module processes a call comprising an identifier for the database, a target data object (database table), approach filters (table fields), and results lines (table fields). Approach filters may support comparable data types, and results lines may support both comparable and non-comparable data types. The call may optionally include parameters that the Orbit Form module uses to govern retrieval of data from the target database, presentation of filter values, and/or formatting of results pages. After testing the call constructs, the Orbit Form module generates Approach boxes (corresponding to the approach filters) that a user employs to enter target input values to compare to records in the database. Record matches result in retrieval and user-specified display of data corresponding to the results lines (DaPs). A selectable view image field in a DaP extracts and displays image file data.

  • Patent number: 9378253
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for creating a user-defined database interface. A Launch Form module constructs a call comprising user definitions of an identifier for the database, a target data object (database table), approach filters (table fields), and results lines (table fields). An Orbit Form module uses the call constructs to access and query the identified database. Approach boxes corresponding to the approach filters may receive target input values which the Orbit Form module matches, in combination, to records in the database. The Orbit Form module may then retrieve values present in the fields corresponding to each user-specified results line. The Launch form module may also adorn the call with parameters that the Orbit Form module uses to govern retrieval of data from the target database, presentation of filter values, and/or formatting of results pages.
