computer storage associated with the at least one processor; and a display; the computer storage operable to store a plurality of data assets associated with a plurality of Near Field Communication (NFC) tags; and the processor operable to cause display of a representation of each of at least a subset of the data assets associated with each of the plurality of NFC tags in a visually divided format. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the visually divided format comprises a plurality of tiles. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the visually divided format comprises displaying an associated color coding for each representation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the associated color coding for each representation is based on a content type of the respective data asset. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein each representation is displayed by a categorization based at least partly on data associated with the respective NFC tag. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the categorization comprises tag read location. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the representation comprises a dynamic placeholder representative of a last tag read by the electronic device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The electronic device of claim 7 wherein the dynamic placeholder comprises at least one of date, time, transaction type, and location. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, comprising an NFC system operable to transfer data assets associated with at least one NFC tag from the computer storage to at least one other NFC-enabled device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, comprising at least one input device; the at least one input device operable to generate data assets to be associated by the at least one processor with at least one NFC tag and stored in the computer storage. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, the processor further operable to display a user interface comprising a template useable by a user of the device to create data assets for storage in the computer storage. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of data assets comprises code associated with at least one computer executable instruction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of data assets comprises at least one address pointer associated with data assets stored remotely from the device. ### Claim 14 A method of processing data associated with Near Field Communication (NFC) devices, the method comprising at least one data processor of an NFC enabled device: accessing computer storage associated with the at least one data processor; storing a plurality of data assets in the computer storage, each of the plurality of data assets associated with a plurality of NFC tags; and displaying a representation of each of at least a subset of the data assets associated with each of the plurality of NFC tags in a visually divided format. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the visually divided format comprises a plurality of tiles. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the visually divided format comprises displaying an associated color coding for each representation. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein each representation is displayed by a categorization based at least partly on data associated with the respective NFC tag. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein at least one of the representation comprises a dynamic placeholder representative of a last tag read by the electronic device. ### Claim 19 A non-transitory computer-readable medium or media comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause at least one data processor of a Near Field Communication (NFC) device to: access computer storage associated with the at least one data processor; store a plurality of data assets in the computer storage, each of the plurality of data assets associated with a plurality of NFC tags; and display a representation of each of at least a subset of the data assets associated with each of the plurality of NFC tags in a visually divided format. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The medium or media of claim 19, wherein the visually divided format comprises a plurality of tiles.
