ABSTRACT :
In an age where information is being considered as the blood of this century , the very idea of transmitting such data or information to someone very specific sends these cold waves all around our body. With so many hackers and other anti-social elements spread all around the world , secure data transmission is considered to be a myth these days. With the recent technological advancements success has been achieved to an extent in tackling the above stated issue. One such solution to this issue is the RED TACTON devices which are going to make their mark very soon. And when they are out all the problems related to secure , efficient , reliable , hi speed data transmission will be solved . yes they are going to be solved !!
The paper here unleashes the various applications that are possible through these small devices which can literally rest anywhere on the body or any dielectric medium for that matter. With a wide range of applications starting from personalization , conferencing system, security applications and many more , RED TACTON technology is a giant leap in the field of HUMAN AREA NETWORKING.
INTRODUCTION :
Red Tacton is a new Human Area Network technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe ,high speed network transmission path .The name “TACTON “ means touch and action. The color RED signifies warm and cordial communications.
Red Tacton enables the first practical human area network between body centered electronic devices and PC’s or other network devices embedded in the environment via a new generation of user interface based on totally natural human actions such as touching ,holding, walking ,sitting or stepping on a particular spot.
BACKGROUND – HUMAN AREA NETWORK
Human society is entering into an era of an “always on” society ,where networks are seamlessly interconnected and information is always accessible at fingertips. Internet has reduced the whole world into a global village by connecting the remote servers and terminals. Ethernet, Bluetooth and wi-fi have been used to configure the LANs and have tried to solve the “last mile “ connectivity problem. each of these technologies has limitations in finding solutions to the network congestion and secure data transmission. ”HANs” make use of the human body as the high speed network ,which establishes a communications page link between people and electronic devices.
Features of red tacton
Red Tacton has three main features .they are as follows :
1) TOUCH :
Communication with just a touch or a step. A communication path can be created with a simple touch , automatically initiating the flow of data between a body centric electronic device and a computer that is embedded in the environment . for example ,two people equipped with Red Tacton devices could exchange data just by shaking hands .a wide range of natural human actions- grasping, sitting down ,walking or standing in a particular place – can be used to trigger Red Tacton to start a networked process.
2) MEDIA :
Red Tacton can utilize a wide range of materials as a transmission medium , as long as the material is conductive and dielectric ,which includes water and other liquids, various metals ,certain plastics, glass, etc. using ordinary structures , one could easily construct a communication environment at very low cost using Red Tacton.
3) BROADBAND AND INTERACTIVE :
Duple, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps.Becausethe transmission path is on the surface of the body, transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas where many people are communicating at the same time. communication is not just confined to the surface of the body ,but can travel through the user’s clothing to a Red Tacton device in a pocket or through shoes to communicate with a Red Tacton device embedded in the floor.
HOW DOES RED TACTON WORKS ?
Red Tacton does not rely on electromagnetic or light waves to transmit data.. It makes use of weak electric fields on the surface of the body.. The transmitter sends data by inducing fluctuations in the minute electric field on the surface of the human body. Data is received using a photonic electric field sensor that combines an electro-optic crystal and a laser light to detect fluctuations in the minute electric field. The Red Tacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric field on the surface of the body caused by the transmitter.
Red Tacton relies upon the principle that the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of a weak electric field. Red Tacton detects changes in the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal using a laser and converts the result to an electrical signal in a optical receiver circuit.
The naturally occurring electric field induced on the surface of the human body dissipates into the earth. Therefore, this electric field is exceptionally faint and unstable. The photonic electric field sensor developed by NTT enables weak electric fields to be measured by detecting changes in the
