A PRESENTATION ON REDTACTON
ABSTRACT:-
Imagine getting in a car and having it adjust its settings to the way you like them,
grabbing a door handle that knows if you are authorized to open it or shaking hands
with someone and invisibly exchanging electronic business cards. What if you could
walk into a room and connect to a network just by setting your laptop on a table? In
2020, whipping out your mobile phone to make a call will be quaintly pass. By then
phones will be printed directly on to wrists, or other parts of the body.
Who can imagine that soon our body can be the backbone of a broadband personal data
network linking our mobile phone or MP3 player to a cordless headset, our digital
camera to a PC or printer, and all the gadgets one carries around to each other? Japans
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. have developed a system that can do these
things and others by using your body to create a high-speed computer network called
RedTacton.
RedTacton enables the first practical Human Area Network between body-centered
electronic devices and PCs or other network devices embedded in the environment via a
new generation of user interface based on totally natural human actions such as
touching, holding, sitting, walking, or stepping on a particular spot. Similar weak
electrical fields can be found around many objects, including those made from metals,
plastic, glass, ceramics and liquids, which mean they can also be part of a RedTacton
networks.
A person equipped with a sensor can exchange data with another person carrying a
sensor by shaking hands, and between a person and a device by touching it, walking on
it or sitting on it.

INTRODUC TION:-
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. 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. Using RedTacton,
communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are
linked in various combinations according to the user's natural, physical movements.
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 REDTACTON WORKS?
Using a new super-sensitive photonic electric field sensor, 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 RedTacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric field on the surface of
the body caused by the transmitter.
3. RedTacton 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. RedTacton detects changes in the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal using a
laser and converts the result to an electrical signal in an optical receiver circuit.
Note that RedTacton transceivers which integrate transmitters and receivers are also
available.
MECHANISM OF COMMUNICATION WITH REDTACTON:-
The transmitter sends data by inducing fluctuations in the minute electric field on the
surface of the human body. 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.

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.
THREE FEATURES OF REDTACTON:-
Redtacton has three main functional features.

Using RedTacton, communication starts when terminals carried by the user or
embedded in devices are linked in various combinations through physical contact
according to the human's natural movements
BROADBAND AND 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.Maximum communication speed may be 10 mbps depending on the usage
environment
Communication speed can deteriorate in crowded spaces due to a lack of bandwidth.
Device drivers can be downloaded instantly and executable programs can be quickly
sent. Taking advantage of this speed, device drivers can be downloaded instantly and
execute programs can be sent.
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*.

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. The alarm sounds only if the user actually touches the medicine bottle,
reducing false alarms common with passive wireless ID tags, which can trigger simply
by proximity.
MARKETING APPLICATIONS:-
When a consumer stands in front of an advertising panel, advertising and information
matching his or her attributes is automatically displayed. By touching or standing in
front of items they are interested in, consumers can get more in-depth information.
Brochures only of products of interest to the visitor can be downloaded automatically at
trade shows. Inside a shop, shoppers can view related information on their mobile
terminals immediately after touching a product.
INTUTIVE OPERATION:-
RedTacton transceivers embedded in two terminals can communicate not only data
But also the control or configuration instructions needed to operate devices. Cable
connections are eliminated. The body itself is used as transmission medium

RedTacton does not require the electrode be in direct contact with the skin. Highspeed
communication is possible between two arbitrary points on the body.
With the electric amperage method, a clear signal line and ground line are required.
With the electric voltage method, capacity coupling can substitute. Therefore, the
electrode does not have to be in direct contact with the skin.
On the other hand, photonic electric field sensors used in RedTacton can measure
stand-alone contacts without being influenced by grounds. As a result, the received
