First Claim
1. A method of interacting with one or more data sources storing information, the method comprising:
- (A) receiving a user request to interact with data source information;
(B) identifying one or more data sources to interact with based on the user request, wherein the identifying includes selecting from configured meta search data;
(C) interacting with one or more of the identified data sources;
(D) receiving a result of interacting with one or more of the identified data sources; and

Abstract
A method of interacting with one or more data sources storing information and a system for performing the method thereof. The method receives a user request to interact with data source information, e.g. retrieve or update user contact information in a data source, identifies one or more data sources to interact with based on the user request, interacts with one or more of the identified data sources and receives a result of interacting with the identified data sources. Responsive to the user request, the method transmits the interaction result to the user. A system for interacting with a data source according to the above-described method includes: a memory storing (1) a data structure and (2) a sequence of executable instructions; and a processor for executing the instructions. The data structure stores information including user contact information and data source information. The sequence of executable instructions include a data retrieval application including the above-described method.
