1. A method comprising:
- processing, by a processor of a portable electronic device, a plurality of received radio frequency waves to determine a location of a first radio frequency identification tagged item of a plurality of radio frequency identification tagged items, where each of the plurality of received radio frequency waves is associated with a different one of the plurality of radio frequency identification tagged items;
receiving, by the processor, product information from a database, wherein the product information is identified to be associated with the first radio frequency identification tagged item;
displaying, by the processor, on a display the first radio frequency identification tagged item along with the product information;
receiving, by the processor, an input to modify the product information associated with the first radio frequency identification tagged item; and
transmitting, by the processor, the product information that is modified back to the database.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to visualize locations of radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged items are described. One example method includes receiving a request from a portable electronic device to access product information associated with an individual radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged item, determining a location of the product information in a database, transmitting the located product information to the portable electronic device for display thereon, receiving modified product information associated with the individual RFID tagged item from the portable electronic device, and storing the modified product information to the location of the product information in the database.
