Abstract Technology is making many things easier; I can say that our concept is standing example for that. So far we have seen LAN, MAN , WAN INTERNET & many more but here is new concept of HAN which makes the human body as a communication network by name .... REDTACTON . NTT lab from Japan is currently testing & developing thiis revolutionary technology .HAN is a new Human Area networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. Red Tacton uses the minuteelectric field generated by human body as medium for transmitting the data. The chips which will be embedded in various devices contain transmitter and receiverbuilt to send and accept data in digital format. In this paper we will discuss about red tacton, and its working. States, and applications of red tacton various fields.And we will compare our red tacton with the other technology for data transmission.And know about human area network . Introduction We may have imagined the feature as a place crawling with antennas and emitters, due to the huge growth of wireless communications. And it is seems that the current means of transferring data might already have a very serious competitor none other than the human boby. Thus NTT labs from Japan has announced that is currently testing a revolutionary technology called red tacton ,which use the electric fields generated by the human body as medium for transmitting the data . The chips which will embedded in various devices contain a transmitter and receiver built to send and accept data in digital format. The chips can take any type of file such as mp3 music file or mail and convert it in to the format that takes the form of digitals pulse that can be passed and read through a human being electric field .the chip in receiver devices reads these tiny changes and convert the file back into its original form. HAN HAN is based on a new Red tacton technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. Red Tacton 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 Red Tacton transceiver. Physically separating ends the contact andthus ends communication Using Red Tacton, communication starts when terminals carried by theuser or embedded in devices are linked in various combinations according to the user's Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms,feet,face,legsor torso. Red Tacton works natural, physical movements.

Working principle

Using a new super-sensitive photonic electric field sensor, Red Tacton can achieve duplex communication over the human body at a maximum seed of 10 mbps

The Red Tacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the surface of the body. The Red Tacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric field on the surface of the body caused by the transmitter .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. 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 an optical receiver circuit. 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. 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. Human area network

In addition to the WANs (Internet) and LANs, there are applications best served by Human Area Networks (HANs) that connect the last meter.

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. Feature of red tacton Red Tacton has three main functional features.

1. TOUCH Communication with just a touch or step Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human movements can be the triggers for unlocking or locking, starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data. 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. 2.BROADBAND & 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 . Taking advantage of this speed, device drivers can be downloaded instantly and execute programs can be sent. Communication speed can deteriorate in Device drivers can be downloaded instantly and crowded spaces due to a lack of bandwidth executable programs can be quickly sent.(RED (wireless LAN) TACTON)

3.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

DI ELETRICS CONDUCTORS (Signals pass through materials)

(Signals travel along surface)

A communication environment can be created easily and at low-cost by using items close at hand, such as desks, walls, and metal objects. But there is one limitation on the length of the conductor to be propagated, on installation locations, and on the thickness of the dielectric to be passed through. Application fields Many application using Red Tacton are introduced. Some are:

Red tacton 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. 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 indepth information.

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 Complicated configurations are reduced by downloading device drivers "at first touch".

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

Your own phone number is allocated and billing commences .Automatic importing of personal address book and call history.

The seat position and steering wheel height adjust to match the driver just by sitting in the car. The driver's home is set as the destination in the car navigation system .The stereo plays the driver's favorite song

An electrically conductive sheet is embedded in the table. A network connection is initiated simply by placing a lap-top on the table. Using different sheet patterns enables segmentation of the table into subnets.

Red Tacton can carry music or video between headsets, mobile devices, mobile phones, etc. Users can listen to music from a Red Tacton player simply by putting on a headset or holding a viewer.

Carrying a mobile RedTacton-capable device in one's pocket, ID is verified and the door unlocked when the user holds the doorknob normally. Secure lock administration is possible by combining personal verification tools such as fingerprint ID or other biometric in the mobile terminal. Prototype NTT has made three types of prototypes

Comparison with other Technologies E: Excellent P: Poor Conclusion So we conclude that, when we compare red tacton with other technology present today it can give a better performance over others. And we can say that to connect the network with in short distances red tacton is best. And also in this technology there is no problem of hackers as our body is itself a media. So we can say that red tacton will after its coming into market will make a great change & will be adopted by many people. So let us welcome the technology of next generation into our life.
