1. A method for identifying items comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, a particular RFID signal identifying that a particular attribute is associated with a particular item placed proximate to an RFID tag emitting the particular RFID signal, wherein the particular RFID signal is identified from among a plurality of RFID signals, wherein a selection of the plurality of RFID signals are each associated with a separate attribute from among a plurality of attributes, by;
identifying an RFID signal identifier from the particular RFID signal;
comparing the RFID signal identifier with at least one attribute-based signal characteristic; and
responsive to the RFID signal identifier matching the at least one attribute-based signal characteristic, identifying a particular attribute mapping from among a selection of attribute mappings that maps the RFID signal identifier to the particular attribute; and
displaying, by the computer system, a visual representation depicting that the particular item is associated with the particular attribute.

Abstract
A portable device receives a particular RFID signal identifying that a particular attribute is associated with a particular item placed proximate to the RFID tag emitting the particular RFID signal, wherein the particular RFID signal is identified from among a plurality of RFID signals, wherein a selection of the plurality of RFID signals are each associated with a separate attribute from among a plurality of attributes. The portable device displays a visual representation depicting that the particular item is associated with the particular attribute.

10. A system for identifying items comprising:
-
a computer system operative to receive a particular RFID signal identifying that a particular attribute is associated with a particular item placed proximate to an RFID tag emitting the particular RFID signal, wherein the particular RFID signal is identified from among a plurality of RFID signals, wherein a selection of the plurality of RFID signals are each associated with a separate attribute from among a plurality of attributes; the computer system operative to identify an RFID signal identifier from the particular RFID signal; the computer system operative to compare the RFID signal identifier with at least one attribute-based signal characteristic; the computer system responsive to the RFID signal identifier matching the at least one attribute-based signal characteristic, operative to identify a particular attribute mapping from among a selection of attribute mappings that maps the RFID signal identifier to the particular attribute; and the computer system operative to display a visual representation depicting that the particular item is associated with the particular attribute. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product for identifying items, the computer program product comprising a tangible computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computer to:
-
receive, by a computer, a particular RFID signal identifying that a particular attribute is associated with a particular item placed proximate to an RFID tag emitting the particular RFID signal, wherein the particular RFID signal is identified from among a plurality of RFID signals, wherein a selection of the plurality of RFID signals are each associated with a separate attribute from among a plurality of attributes; identify, by the computer, an RFID signal identifier from the particular RFID signal; compare, by the computer, the RFID signal identifier with at least one attribute-based signal characteristic; responsive to the RFID signal identifier matching the at least one attribute-based signal characteristic, identify, by the computer, a particular attribute mapping from among a selection of attribute mappings that maps the RFID signal identifier to the particular attribute; and display, by the computer, a visual representation depicting that the particular item is associated with the particular attribute.
