1. A method of optimizing retrieval of object-associated information, comprising:
- identifying data associated with an object identification;
identifying at least one optimization parameter;
determining an amount of the associated data to transmit using the at least one optimization parameter; and
transmitting the associated data in the amount determined.

Abstract
A method of optimizing the retrieval of object-associated information may include identifying data associated with an object identification. At least one optimization parameter for the retrieval of data associated with an object identification is also identified. An amount of the associated data for transmission is determined using the at least one optimization parameter.
