1. A method comprising:
- receiving a near field communication signal from a near field tag located within a predetermined distance of an active near field communication device comprising a plurality of active near field antennas as an array of active near field antennas;
identifying an information identifier associated with the near field tag;
matching the information identifier of the near field tag with an information identifier stored in memory;
identifying a location of the near field tag with respect to the array of active near field antennas;
identifying content associated with the information identifier of the near field tag; and
designating the information identifier as being located at a particular position of the array of active near field antennas.
