NARRATION
2.1 HOW REDTACTON WORKS?
Figure 2.1 shows the working of the RED TACTON device over the surface of
our body
1. The RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the surface of the
body.
2. The RedTacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric field on the
surface of the body caused by the transmitter.
Figure: 2.2 Figure shows the various electric fields on the surface of our body
induced by the RedTacton device. Only a portion of the induced electric field is
sensed by the receiving RedTacton device. The remaining electric fields are
dissipated to the ground.
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 optical properties of an
electro-optic crystal with a laser beam.

1. 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.
transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas where many people
are communicating at the same time. Maximum communication speed may be
slower than 1 environment.possible at a maximum 10Mbps depending on the
usage environment.
3. Media:
RedTacton can utilize a wide range of materials as a transmissionmedium, as
long as the material is conductive and dielectric, which includes water and other
liquids, various metals, certain plastics, glass, etc. Conductors and dielectrics
may also be used in combination.

APPLICATIONS
3.1 SIX MAJOR APPLICATION FIELDS USING REDTACTON ARE
INTRODUCED:
3.1.1 One to One services
With the ability to send attribute data from personal information devices worn on
the body to computers embedded in the environment, one-to-one services could
be implemented that are tailored to the individual needs of the user.
3.1.2 Intuitive operation of personal information
Communication is triggered by totally natural human actions and behavior, so
there is no need to insert smart cards, connect cables, tune frequencies, or any of
the other inconveniences usually associated with today's electronic devices.

that advertisement through RedTacton device
3.1.6 Security applications
RedTacton could be installed on doors, cabinets and other locations calling for
secure access, such that each secure access could be initiated and authenticated

with a simple touch. At the same time, all the transaction details and relevant user
attributes (personal identity, security clearance, etc.) could be logged by the
security system. An Alarm sounds automatically to avoid accidental medicine
ingestion Touch advertising and receive information.
3.2 COMPARISON WITH OTHER NETWORKS
The chart below shows the positioning of RedTacton with respect to existing
communication 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.
Wired communication transmits data between two connection points, so
interception is difficult and security can be considered to be high. However,
connectors and cables are a nuisance. Taking the above points in account,
RedTacton is situated directly between wireless and wired communication. In
other words, 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
RedTacton is an exciting new technology for human area networking. We have
developed a transceiver that uses the human body as a data transmission medium
based on an electric-field sensor that uses an electro-optic crystal and laser ight.
Using this transceiver, we succeeded in achieving 10BASE communication in
accordance with IEEE 802.3 through a human body from one hand to the other
hand. While our immediate objective is to implement a RedTacton system
supporting twoway intrabody communication at a rate of 10 Mbit/s between any
two points on the body, our longer-term plans include developing a mass-market
transceiver interface supporting PDAs and notebook computers while continuing
efforts to reduce the size and power consumption of the transceiver to enhance its
portability.
