Red Tacton
INTRODUCTION
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 involves initiating communication with a touch that could result in a wide range of actions in response.
RedTacton uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared.
Name of this technology consist of two parts. “Tacton” is a contraction of “Touch” & “Act on”, which describes how communication is started with the act of touching & leads to various different actions. The color red is added to signify warmth in communication.
Currently, RedTacton is gearing up to compete with Bluetooth, Zigbee, IrDA (Infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wide Band), and other wireless communication forms. These competing technologies are different in that they use radio frequency or light to transmit data short distances. They also tend to work at slower speeds that RedTacton which, as mentioned before, uses the body’s electrical field to transmit at a high speed. Additionally, since RedTacton requires touch and has a low potential for interference, it is much more secure than the competition. Many areas can benefit from this technology. Initially, RedTacton could target security, the medical field, and the device communication field. RedTacton can be used for intuitive operation of computer-based systems in daily life, temporary one-to-one private networks based on personal handshaking, device personalization, security, and a host of other applications based on new behavior patterns enabled by RedTacton.
1. What is “Red-Tacton”? RedTacton is a technology that bridges the last networking gap, creating the HAN ' Human Area Network, connecting the last meter. It works by utilizing the electric field on the surface of the human body to transmit data between a RedTacton receiver
