Red Tacton

What is Red Tacton?


Red Tacton is a new Human Area Networking
technology.
Uses the surface of the human body as a safe,
high speed network transmission path.
It uses the minute electric field emitted on the
surface of the human body.
High speed up to 10 mbps.

Principle
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.

How it works
Contd
Point to Point Network
Transmitting transceiver creates a change
in the field.
Receiving transceiver recognizes the
change in the electric field.
Electro-optical crystal uses laser to convert
and read the signal .

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.

Contd
Communication speed can
deteriorate in crowded spaces due
to a lack of Bandwidth (wireless
LAN).
Device drivers can be downloaded
instantly and executable programs
can be quickly sent.(RED

BROADBAND & INTERACTIVE
Contd
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
Prototypes
Red Tacton Transceiver(PC Card Type)
Red Tacton Transceiver(Hub Type)
Red Tacton Device(Box Type)
Human Safety
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the
transceiver are completely covered with
insulated film.
Impossible for current to flow from the
transceiver to the human body.
When communication occurs, displacement
current is generated by the electrons in the body
because body is subjected to minute electrical
fields.

Competition

Practical Application
Firmo Kit is used as an alternative to short-range wireless
security-card entrance/exit systems.
NTT claim Firmo provides a higher degree of security than other
technologies.

FIRMO
Advantages
Body-based networking is more secure than broadcast
systems.
Network congestion due to fall in transmission speed in
multi user environments is avoided.
Elimination of human error.
Device Personalization.
Obstacles
Time & cost
Needs to gain popularity to pull instead of push
Widespread marking campaigns and education
Not useful unless many people adopt it
