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.
Claims42
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.
A method of customizing retrieval of object-associated information, comprising:
- identifying data associated with an object identification;
- identifying at least one customization parameter;
- determining content of the associated data using the at least one customization parameter;
- and
- transmitting the associated data.
A system for optimizing the retrieval of object-associated information, comprising:
- means for receiving an object identification;
- means for determining at least one optimization parameter;
- means for selecting an amount of data associated with the object identification using the at least one optimization parameter;
- and
- means for transmitting the associated data in the amount determined.
A method of providing object-associated data to a user device comprising:
- storing data associated with a plurality of objects in a tree structure;
- identifying a leaf within the tree structure, wherein the leaf represents data associated with an object identification for an object, the object identification being read by a user device;
- determining a point up the tree structure from the leaf based on at least one optimization parameter;
- retrieving the associated data in the tree structure from the point to the leaf;
- and
- transmitting the retrieved data to the user device.
An apparatus for retrieving object-associated information, comprising:
- means for detecting an object identification;
- means for transmitting the object identification, wherein the object identification is received by a computer system that provides data associated with the object identification based on at least one optimization parameter;
- means for receiving the associated data;
- and
- means for providing at least one menu for a user, wherein the menu provides the user with options for additional data associated with the object identification.
A method of delivering object-associated information, comprising:
- receiving a request for information associated with an object identification;
- gathering data associated with an individual submitting the request;
- identifying information associated with the object identification, wherein the information identified is at least based on the data associated with the individual;
- and
- transmitting the associated information.
A computer readable medium on which is embedded one or more computer programs, said one or more computer programs implementing a method of optimizing retrieval of object-associated information, the method comprising:
- identifying data associated with an object identification;
- identifying at least one optimization parameter;
- and
- determining an amount of the associated data to transmit using the at least one optimization parameter.
