SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROCESSING DATABASE QUERIES
First Claim
1. A method of processing database queries, the method comprising:
- receiving a database query from a query source;
determining location information associated with the query source based at least partially on an Internet Protocol (P) address associated with the database query;
determining, based at least partially on the location information, whether the query source satisfies a required source attribute; and
withholding information requested by the database query when the required source attribute is not satisfied.

Abstract
Systems and methods of processing database search queries are provided. A method of processing database search queries includes receiving a database query from a query source. The method also includes determining location information associated with the query source based at least partially on an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the database query. The method further includes determining, based at least partially on the location information, whether the query source satisfies a required source attribute. The method also includes withholding information requested by the database query when the required source attribute is not satisfied.

9. A method of processing database queries, the method comprising:
-
receiving a database query from a query source; determining at least one attribute associated with the query source based at least partially upon an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the database query and information controlled at a first network element independent from the query source; determining whether the query source satisfies a required source attribute based on the at least one attribute associated with the query source; and withholding information requested by the database query when the required source attribute is not satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system to process database queries, the system comprising:
a database interface system having processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic, wherein the memory includes; an interface module executable by the processing logic to provide an interface to receive a database query from a query source via a wide area network; and a response determination module executable by the processing logic to determine whether the query source satisfies a required source attribute based at least partially on at least one attribute associated with the database query and to inhibit the network interface system from sending information requested by the database query when the query source does not satisfy the required source attribute. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
