RedTacton 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 field emitted on the surface of the human body.
The technology is called TACTON because this influences communication, that
starts by touching (Touch) leading to various actions (ACTON).RED is used to
convey the meaning of warmth in communication.
Instead of relying on electromagnetic waves or light waves to carry data, a Red
Tacton transmitter couples with extremely weak electric fields on the surface of
the body. The weak electric fields pass through the body to a Red Tacton receiver,
where the weak electric field affects the optical properties of an electro-optic
crystal. physically separating ends the contact and thus closes the communication.
RedTacton can achieve duplex communication over the human body at a maximum
speed of 10 Mbps.
1.The RedTacton transmitter induces
a weak electric field on the
surface of the body.
2. The Red Tacton receiver senses
changes in the weak electric field
on the surface of the body
caused by the transmitter.
3. 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.
 

4. 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 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.

1. The surface of the human body loses

some field due to the electric field
returning to ground and electric field
dissipated to the earth from the legs.
2. 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.
This sensor measures faint electric fields
by using a laser beam to detect
fluctuations.
 RedTacton has three main functional features.

Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human

movements can be the triggers for unlocking or locking,
starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data.

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
decline in congested areas
where many people are
communicating at the same
time.
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.

Dielectric: Conductors + Dielectrics:

A communication environment can be created easily and at low-cost by using items close at
hand, such as desks, walls, and metal objects. There are limitations on the length of the
conductor to be propagated, on installation locations, and on the thickness of the dielectric to
be passed through
Enable one-to-one services tailored to the user's situation and tastes. Attribute information
recorded in the RedTacton device is sent to the touched objects.

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.
Examples of similar applications:
Alert and contact record at medical, long-term care, and
childcare facilities.
Avoidance of risk at construction sites (an alarm sounds if special
equipment is handled by anyone other than supervisors)

•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.
•Transfer songs to portable music players from notebook PCs with just
a touch
Instant Private Data Exchange

By shaking hands, personal profile data can be

exchanged between mobile terminals on the users.
(Electronic exchange of business cards)
Communication can be kept private using authentication
and encryption technologies.

Group photos taken with digital cameras are instantly

transferred to individual's mobile terminal.
Diagrams written on white boards during meetings are
transferred to individual's mobile terminals on the spot.

Digital lifestyle can be instantly personalized with just a touch.

-A pre-recorded configuration script can be embedded in a mobile terminal with built-
in RedTacton transceiver.
-When another device with RedTacton capabilities is touched, personalization data and
configuration scripts can be downloaded automatically.
 In human body it is used to detect ailments such as
abnormal growths, tumors, and excrescences affected
tissues and thus helps in allowing providing a cure.
 

Red Tacton allows communication in outer space

and in water where the speech constraints are
very high and thus enables a highly efficient
means of expression of speech which is beyond
the purvey of human beings.
 

User Verification and lock management at entrances

Carrying a mobile RedTacton-capable device in one's
pocket, ID is verified and the door unlocked when
the user holds the doorknob normally.

RedTacton is situated directly between wireless and wired
communication. In this technology there is no problem of
hackers as our body is itself a media. Red Tacton technology is
expected to dominate Bluetooth technology in the future. Red
Tacton technology could put the use of cables to an end. This
technology brings a new dimension of communication which
effectively links the user to anyone he wants to communicate.
Since it provides high speed communication, it can provide
seamless service wherever, whenever and whoever uses it.
