A computing device configured for screen-to-screen (STS) communication, the computing device comprising an interface, memory and a processing module coupled to the memory and the interface. The processing module is configured to determine, for an interaction between a user computing device and an interactive computing device, an interaction type associated with the interaction and determine one or more data types for supporting the interaction. The processing module is further configured to determine available communication types for supporting the interaction and determine data type communication restrictions for the one or more data types, where a first data type is restricted to an STS communication via a transmission medium that includes one of a body as a network, a close proximity and a physical surface. The processing module is further configured to determine whether the available communication types allow for the interaction and when allowed, set up communications for executing the interaction.
