‘first proposed by Thomas G. Zimmermann and his
coworkers at IBM, California
‘improvised by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.,
Tokyo.
‘Name given by NTT- µRedTacton¶
‘NTT alone has the basic patent of RedTacton over the
globe
 Ô

 
 

 
Electro-optic sensor has three key
features:
1. can measure electric fields from a
device under test (DUT) without
contacting it. This minimizes
measurement disturbance
2. Ultra wide-band measurement
possible
3. dupports one-point contact
measurement that is independent of
the ground.
 
  
 
 

 
6 ree main functional
features of Red6acton-
‘unlocking or locking,
starting or stopping
equipment, or obtaining
data
‘Duplex interactive
communication at max
speed of 10Mbps
‘Various conductors and
dielectrics can be used
as transmission media
along with human body
 


 

‘The transmitting and receiving electrodes
covered with insulating film
‘RedTacton conforms to the µRadio Frequency-
Exposure¶ protection dtandard (RCR dTD-38)
issued by the Association of Radio Industries and
Businesses (ARIB)

 Elimination of Human Error :
‘user touches the wrong medicine, alarm will trigger on
the terminal he is carrying
‘reduces false alarms common with passive wireless ID
tags, which can trigger simply by proximity.
u Intuitive Operations :
‘èust by touching the desired printer with one hand
and a PC or digital camera with the other hand, get
any document printed
ΠInstant Private Data Exc ange :

‘ By shaking hands, personal profile data can be

exchanged between mobile terminals on the users.
‘Communication can be kept private using
authentication and encryption technologies
- Personalization of Automobiles
‘ ditting in the seat triggers the car to load all its
presets.
‘The seat position and steering wheel height adèust
to match the driver èust by sitting in the car.
‘The driver's home is set as the destination in the car
navigation system.
M Conferencing System
‘Connect to a network èust by putting a laptop on the
table(An electrically conductive sheet is embedded in the
table).
‘Using different sheet patterns enables segmentation of
the table into subnets.
r Security Applications
User verification and lock management at entrances
Carrying a mobile RedTacton capable device in pocket,
ID is verified and door unlocked when the user holds the
doorknob normally
‰ Confidential Document Management
Automatic access log for confidential document storage

keeps a record of who accessed documents at what

time
