1. A system for data communication, comprising:
- a detection module that ascertains when a mobile wireless communication device is located within a first range of a data source;
a proximity detector that determines whether the mobile wireless communication device is within a second range from the data source that is less than the first range;
a verification module that determines, when the detection module has determined that the mobile wireless communication device is located within the first range, whether the mobile wireless communication device is a known device based on a previous pairing with the data source or acceptable security credentials; and
a data transfer module associated with the data source having access to a primary data store and a secondary data store,where the data transfer module upon direction of the detection module automatically sends first information from the primary data store in at least one first data packet comprising a payload field containing at least a first identifier and security credentials to the known mobile wireless communication device when the mobile wireless communication device is within the first range, andwhere the data transfer module upon direction of the proximity detector automatically sends second information from the secondary data store in at least one second data packet comprising a payload field containing at least a second identifier and security credentials to the known mobile wireless communication device when the mobile wireless communication device is within the second range.

7. A computer implemented method for data communication, comprising:
-
detecting through a detection module when a wireless computing device is within a first range of a data source; verifying, upon detecting that the wireless computing device is located within the first range, that the wireless computing device is a known device by validating at least one of a previous pairing with the data source and security credentials; automatically initiating through a data transfer module associated with the data source a first data transfer from a primary data store comprising at least one data packet having a payload field containing at least a first identifier and security credentials to the known wireless computing device when the known wireless computing device is in the first range; detecting through a proximity detector module when the known wireless computing device is within a second range from the data source that is less than the first range; and automatically initiating through a data transfer module associated with the data source a second data transfer from a second data store comprising at least one data packet having a payload field containing at least a second identifier and security credentials to the known wireless computing device when the known wireless computing device is in the second range. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for data communication, comprising:
-
means for detecting through a detection module when a wireless computing device is in a first range of a data source; means for determining, when the detection module has determined that the wireless computing device is located within the first range, whether the wireless computing device is a known device based on a previous pairing with the data source or acceptable security credentials; means for automatically initiating through a data transfer module associated with the data source a first data transfer from a primary data store comprising at least one data packet having a payload field containing at least a first identifier and security credentials when the wireless computing device is in the first range; means for detecting through a proximity detector module when the known wireless computing device is within a second range less than the first range of the data source; and means for automatically initiating through a data transfer module associated with the data source a second data transfer from a second data store comprising at least one data packet having a payload field containing at least a second identifier and security credentials to the known wireless computing device when the known wireless computing device is in the second range. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
