1. 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 RED TACTON which makes the human body as a communication network by name HAN (Human Area Network). NTT lab from Japan is currently testing & developing this revolutionary technology .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 generated by human body as medium for transmitting the data. The chips which will be embedded in various devices contain transmitter and receiver built 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.

2. 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 body. 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.

3. REDTACTON:Red Tacton 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 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 and thus ends communication Using Red Tacton, communication starts when terminals carried

by the user 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, legs or torso. Red Tacton works natural, physical movements.

4.WORKING PRINCIPLE:Using a new super-sensitive photonic electric field sensor, Red Tacton can achieve duplex communication over the human body at a maximum speed 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 a 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.

5. COMPARISON WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES :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.

Figure 6: Three basic features of RedTacton

6.1 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. using Red Tacton, 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.

6.2 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.

can Device drivers can be deteriorate in crowded spaces downloaded instantly and executable programs can due to a lack of bandwidth be quickly sent.

6.3 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. DIELETRICS and CONDUCTORS. In dielectrics signals pass through materials whereas in conductors signals pass along the 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.

7. APPLICATION FIELD:Many applications using Red Tacton are introduced. Some are:
1. In Medical Field: An alarm sounds automatically to avoid accidental

medicine ingestion: 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.

4. Connect to the network just by putting your laptop on table: 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.

8. SYSTEM SAFETY:RedTacton uses the electric field that occurs naturally on the surface of the human body for communication. Transmitter and receiver electrodes are covered with an insulating films. No current flows into the body from the RedTacton transceiver. There is no current flowing from the RedTacton transceiver; however, the body indirectly receives a minute electric field. This causes electrons already present inside the body to move, creating a minute displacement current. This displacement current is similar to those occurring in everyday life.
