1. A method for wireless communication of proximity based content, the method comprising:

  • defining a proximity boundary with dimensions defined by a selected magnetic induction diversity communication range of one of a Short Range Communication (SRC) device and a Proximity Short Range Communication (SRC) device, wherein;

    the SRC device and the PSRC device are configured to communicate using magnetic induction;

    at least one of the SRC device and the PSRC device include at least two substantially orthogonal antennas to provide magnetic induction diversity;

    the SRC device is coupled to a mobile computing device; and

    the PSRC device is associated with at least one of a location and an object;

    communicating a proximity signal in the proximity boundary between the SRC device and the PSRC device using the magnetic induction diversity to substantially reduce a variability of the dimensions of the proximity boundary defined by the selected magnetic induction diversity communication range;

    performing at least one action by at least one of the mobile computing device and the PSRC device when the proximity signal is detected between the SRC device and the PSRC device; and

    setting at least one rule for a proximity based communication filter module, which is associated with the mobile computing device, regarding the wireless communication of proximity based content, the at least one rule identifying the at least one action performed by the mobile computing device when the proximity signal is detected between the SRC device and the PSRC device,wherein the at least one action is performed by the mobile computing device based on the at least one rule when the proximity signal is detected between the SRC device and the PSRC device.
