Redtacton: Human Area Networks

Red Tacton is a technology developed by NTT that can transmit data through electric fields on the surface of the human body at speeds up to 10Mbps. It uses weak electric fields instead of electromagnetic waves to carry data. The name comes from "Tacton" meaning touch-triggered action, and "Red" which symbolizes warmth in Japanese culture. It allows for interactive communication and has potential applications in security systems and interactive devices. However, it has not yet found compelling commercial applications and would be costly to implement due to early stage of development.

HUMAN AREA NETWORKS
oRed Tacton is a technology developed by Japanese company NTT, which

claims that it can send data over the surface of the skin at speeds of up to

10Mbps equivalent to a fast broadband data connection.

oRed Tacton takes a different technical approach. Instead of relying on

electromagnetic waves or light waves to carry data, Red Tacton uses weak

electric fields on the surface of the body as a transmission medium.

oThe name chosen for this technology is derived from “Tacton” meaning “action

triggered by touching” combined with Red, which in Japanese culture is an

auspicious color with connotations of warmth and love, to convey the cordiality

and warmth of interpersonal communications.


ELECTRIC FIELDS USED:
• Ea – Electric field induced by the transmitter.
• Eb – Electric field returning to the ground of the
transmitter.
• Ec – Electric field dissipating into the earth.
• Es – Detected electric field at the receiver.
• Es = Ea -Eb - Ec
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the Red Tacton transceiver are
completely covered with insulating film, so the body of the person acting as the
transmission medium is completely insulated. This makes it impossible for current to
flow into a person’s body from the transceiver.
When communication occurs , displacement current is generated by the electrons in
the body because the body is subjected to minute electrical fields. However, such
displacement currents are very common everyday occurrences to which we are all
subjected.
RedTacton conforms to the “Radio Frequency-Exposure protection Standard
(RCR STD-38)” issued by the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses
(ARIB)
TOUCH
TOUCH
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.
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 slower than 10Mbps depending on the
usage environment.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
FIRMO
Firmo Kit is used as an alternative to short-range wireless
security card entrance/exit systems. NTT claims Firmo
provides a higher degree of security than other
technologies.
Why Red Tacton?
• More secure than Bluetooth.

• Superior than Infrared technology.

• Superior than Wi-Fi.


ADVANTAGES
• No Traffic and Network congestion

•Support interactive processing.

•Reduces power consumption.

•Reduction in cost of transmission media.

•The data transfer rates up to 10 Megabits per second.

•It can be applied for security purposes in a variety of domains.


APPLICATIONS
•One to One Services

•Intuitive operations

•Personalization

•New Behavior patterns

•Security applications

•Communication in new domains
