Systems and methods for dynamically selecting graphical query result display modes
First Claim
1. A computer Implemented method for sending query results of a query received from a client computer comprising:
- obtaining a threshold value indicating a number of records permitted in a first display mode;
determining, using a computer, if the query will return a number of records from a dataset that exceeds the threshold value;
if the results value is equal or below the threshold value, then providing the query results in a first mode; and
if the results value is above the threshold value, then providing the query results in a second mode; and
wherein the first mode comprises providing requested fields from each of the returned records, and the second mode comprises providing a rendered image including results data;
the threshold value is set at least partially by determining a type of rendering engine utilized by the client computer.

Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying graphical database query results on a map by dynamically selecting graphical query result display modes are described. In one example, the system includes a distributed database query system having a remote server and a local client computer. The remote server receives a query request from the client and obtains a threshold number of results for display. If a particular query provides less than the threshold number of results, the system uses a first interactive graphical query result mode utilizing client rendering. If the query provides the threshold number of results or more, the system uses a second non-interactive graphical query result mode utilizing server rendering.
