Red Tacton: Presented By: S. Sai Sushmitha 16U51A05B3 CSE-4B

RED TACTON is a new human area networking technology developed by NTT in Japan that uses the human body's surface as a transmission path for safe, high-speed data transfer. It relies on minute electric fields emitted on the skin that are sensed and converted to signals. Potential applications include personalized mobile phones that connect just by touching, intuitive printing by touching a printer, and automatic alarms to prevent medical errors. While data transfer is faster and more secure compared to other short-range wireless, limitations include a short operating range and high costs.

Introduction
• RED TACTON is a new human area networking technology that uses
the surface of human body as a safe, high speed network
transmission path.
• RED TACTON uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of
human body.
• It is developed by Japanese technology NTT lab.
History
• The concept of intra body communication was first proposed by IBM
in 1996.
• The IBM technology had two limitations:
1. Operating range through the body was limited to a few tens of cm.
2.The top communication speed was only 40Kbit/s!!
• These limitations were overcome by NIT(Nippon Telegraph and
Telegram Coperation) located in Tokya,Japan by using Photonic
electric field sensors and finally in 2005 they came up with a HAN
technology called “RED TACTON”.
What RED TACTON mean?

• Red : A warm color to emphasis warm and cordial communications.

• TACTON : TOUCH-ACT-ON
Action triggered by Touching.
Why RED TACTON?

• The short-range wireless communications namely Bluetooth and IR


have some problem like packet collision and dimensionality of beam
between the terminals respectively.

• Human area networks would solve all the problems including


throughput reduction, low security, and high network setup costs.
Working Principle
• 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.
What does RED TACTON need?
A Transceiver….. .
Block Diagram of Transceiver
Working Procedure
• Transmitting receiver creates a change in the field.
• Some field from human body dissipates into Earth.
• Electric field is received using sensing technology.
• Receiving transceiver recognizes the changes in the electric field.
• Sensing technology measures the weak fields induced.
• Electro – Optical crystal uses laser to convert and read the signal.
HUMAN AREA NETWORK
• In addition to WANs(internet) and Land, there are applications best
served by Human Area Netwoks (HANs) that connect the last meter.
• Human society is entering an era of ubiquitous computing, where
everything is networked.

PROTOTYPES
NTT has made three types of protocols :
Red Tacton transceiver
●PC card type

●Hub type ●box type


Applications
• Elimination of human error : An alarm sound automatically
to avoid accidental medicine injection.

• Marketing applications : Touch advertising and receiving


information.
• Personalization of mobile phones : Just touching a phone makes it
ur own.

• Personalization of automobiles : Just sitting in the seat triggers the


car to load all its presets, just the way u like.
Intuitive Operations

Touch printer to print

Instantaneous private network via


personal handshake
Security Applications
●User verification and lock management at entrances

User verification and unlocking with just


a
Touch

● Connect to network just by putting laptop on the table


Advantages

• Data transfer is faster and easier through this technology.


• Data loss during transfer is less.
• Use of minimum amount of power(of some malli volt range).
• Security is more.
Disadvantages
• It has no compelling applications.
• too costly.
• It can be useful within her centimeters only.
Conclusion

• 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.
• In this technology there is no problem of hackers as our body is itself
a media.
