HUMAN AREA NETWORKS
Human society is entering an era of ubiquitous computing, where
everything is networked.
By making Human Area Networks feasible, RedTacton will enable ubiquitous services based
on human-centered interactions and therefore more intimate and easier for people to use.
WHAT’S RED TACTON?
def: RED TACTON is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human
body as a safe, high speed network transmission path.
RedTacton uses the minute electric fieldemitted on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is
completely distinct from wireless and infrared.
A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a 
RedTacton transceiver. Physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication.
Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or
torso. RedTacton works through shoes and clothing as well.
HOW RED TACTON WORKS

1. The RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the


surface of the body.
2. The electric field sensor (transistor or photonic electric field sensor)
detects electric field that reaches the RED TACTON reciever.
3.  Signals are processed in the receiver circuit and the data is
downloaded.
RedTacton can achieve duplex communication over the human body at a maximum speed of 10Mbps
MECHANISM OF RED TACTON
The transmitter sends data based on fluctuations in the weak
electric field induced in the body. The electric field is received
using super-sensitive electric field sensing technology.
THREE FEATURES
RedTacton has three main functional features.
TOUCH
Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human movements can be the triggers for unlocking
or locking, starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data.

BROADBAND & INTERACTIVE


Duplex, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps. Because the 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.

ANY MEDIA
In addition to the human body, various conductors and dielectrics can be used as transmission media.
Conductors and dielectrics may also be used in combination
APPLICATION FIELDS

Five major application fields using RedTacton are introduced.

a) ONE-TO-ONE SERVICES
b) INTUITIVE OPERATION
c) PERSONALIZATION
d) NEW BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS

e)SECURITY APPLICATIONS
ONE-TO-ONE SEVICES

ELIMINATION OF HUMAN ERROR


RedTacton devices embedded medicine bottles
transmit information on the medicines' attributes.
If the user touches the wrong medicine,
an alarm will trigger on the terminal he is carrying.
MARKETTING APPLICATIONS
When a consumer stands in front of an
advertising panel, advertising and
Information matching his or her attributes is
automatically displayed
INTUITIVE OPERATION
Touch a printer to print
Print out where you want just by touching
the desired printer with one hand and a PC
or digital camera with the other hand to
make the link.
Instant private data exchange
By shaking hands,personal profile data can be

exchanged between mobile terminals on the


users.(Electronic Exchange of Buisiness Cards)
communication can be kept private by using
authentication and encryption technologies
PERSONALIZATION
Personalization of mobile phones
Your own phone number is allocated and billing
commences .Automatic importing of personal
address book and call history.

Personalization of automobiles
The seat position and steering wheel
height
adjust to the driver just by sitting in the
car.
The driver’s home is set as the
destination in
car navigation system.The sterio plays the
driver’s favourite songs.
NEW BEHAVIOR PATTERNS
Various conductors and dielectrics can be used as RedTacton
communication media, and this has the potential to create new
behavior patterns.
CONFERRENCING SYSTEM
Connect to the network just by putting a laptop on
the table.An electrically conductive sheet is embed
-ded in the table.A network connection is initiated
simply by placing a laptop o the table.
Wearable
red tacton can carry music or video between
headsets,mobile devices,mobile phones etc.
Users can listen to music from a red tacton
player simply by putting on head set or
holding a viewer
SECURITY APPLICATIONS
Automatic user authentication and log-in with just a touch.ID and privilliges are
recorded in a obile red tacton device.corresponding red tacton recievers are
installed at security check points
User verfication and lock management at entrances
carrying a mobile red tacton in ones pocket ,
ID is verified and the door is unlocked when the
user holds the doorknob normally.
Confidential doccument management
A red tacton reciever in a cabinet where important
documents are stored enables lock administration
and keeps a record of who documents at what time.
COMPARISION WITH OTHER NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES
The chart below shows the positioning of RedTacton with respect to existing communication technologies technologies The focus on ubiquitous service has
brought about the shortening of distances in communication. RedTacton is positioned as the last 1m solution to ultimate close-range communication.
Wireless communication creates connections
when signals arrive, allowing for easy
connections because connectors are
unnecessary.However, seen from another aspect,
the arriving signals can be intercepted,so security
becomes an issue RedTacton allows for easy
connection without connectors, while
at the same time allowing transmission
of data only between two contact points.
It thus has the feature of being
difficult to intercept.

CONCLUSION
Human society is entering an era of ubiquitous computing, where everything is networked. By making human area
network feasible, RedTacton enable ubiquitous services band therefore more intimate and easier for people to
use, when networks are seamlessly interconnected and information is always accessible at our fingertips. . The
existing networks namely Wide Area Networks (WAN), typically via the Internet, to remotely connect all types of
severs and terminals, Local Area Networks (LAN), typically via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity among all the
information and communication appliances in offices and homes; and Human Area Networks (HAN) for
connectivity to personal information, media and communication appliances within the much smaller sphere of
ordinary daily
