Introduction:

Home Area Network (HAN) is a network in a user’s home where all the
laptops, computers, smartphones, and other smart appliances and digital
devices are connected into a network. This facilitates communication
among the digital devices within a home which are connected to the Home
network. Home Area Network may be wired or wireless. Mostly wireless
network is used for HAN. One centralized device is there for the function of
Network Address Translation (NAT). This Home Area Network enables
communication and sharing of resources between the smart devices over a
network connection
In this technology the human area become the path of transmission. A
transmission is formed automatically when a person comes into contact
with a device and communication between mobile terminals begins.
Here, the human body acts as a transmission medium IEEE 802.3 half
duplex communication at 10Mbits/s.
In our modern world people can communicate anytime anywhere and with
anyone with more convenient and in a simple way as we done in our real
time. This technology that facilitate faraway communication with the people.
Although many electronic devices had reduced. Wired connection between
electronic devices in human area networks is easily tangled. Also the short
range communication systems called Bluetooth also have some problems.
Throughput is reduced due to packet collision and communication is not
secure because signals are interpreted. The ultimate solution is the human
area network to provide intra body communication, in which the human
body serves as a medium of communication. This technology reduces the
problem of throughput reduction, low security. The concept of intra body
communication, which uses the minute electric field propagated by the
human body to transmit information, was first proposed by first IBM. Red
Tacton can be used for intuitive operation of computer-based systems in
daily life, temporary one-to-one private networks based on personal hand
shaking, device personalization, security and a host of other applications.
With the Red Tacton system, we can envisage a future in which the human
body acts as a non-stop conduit for information. The technologies had
reported two limitation:1)The operating range through the body was limited
to a few ten of centimeters 2) the communication speed was only 40kbits/s.
Overview of HAN
Human Area Networking is a technology that safely turns the surface of the
human body into a data transmission path of speeds up to 10 MBps
between any two points on the body.
Communication is possible using any body surface, such as the hands
fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or toes.
Red Tacton words through shoes and clothing as well.

1 Working:
HOW RED TACTON WORKS
When using a RedTacton device, the human body effectively becomes an Ethernet cable, so thebody can use
its electrical field to connect devices to networks or the internet. For example, if aperson wearing a
RedTacton device sat at a table with RedTacton capabilities that was connectedto the Internet, the laptop
would immediately be connected to the internet. While on the surface this seems similar to a wireless
network connection, it is not. There is a physical connection, theperson. Also, the connection is more secure
and does not slow down if many people are usingthe same connection, as a wireless connection does.
RedTacton utilizes a point to point network,known as a piconet. The P2P network allows information to be
exchanged between twotransceivers without the need for a server to store or process information. RedTacton
operates onthe idea that optical properties of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of
aperson own electric field. After contract with another RedTacton enabled device, the transmitterone wears
induces an electric field on the body. Next, the transceiver on the device detects
changes in the wearer’s electric field which was caused by
the device. The devices thencommunicate and send data by inducing fluctuations in the electric field of the
human body.Data is received using a photonic electric field sensor that combines an electro-optic crystal anda
laser light to detect fluctuations in the minute electric field. Imagine holding your digitalcamera in one hand
and touching a printer with your other which initiates the transfer of imagesfrom your camera to your
printer. In an instant you have downloaded your pictures and areready to print them out without the need for
connecting cables and intermediary devices such asa computer.

1.2 REDTACTON MECHANISM RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the human body
surface. The RedTacton depends on the proposition of the optical properties of an electro optic
crystal which varies according to the changes in the weak electric field. RedTacton detects the
changes in the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal using a laser and converts the result into
an electrical signal in a detector circuit.

Photonic electric field sensor Ea – Eb – Ec = Es Ea is Electric field induced by the transmitter Eb is

Electric field returning to the ground of the transmitter Ec is Electric field at the receiver Es is
Detected electric field at the receiver 2. PREVIOUS WORK ON ELECTRIC FIELD SENSING Human Area
Network(HAN) development grew out of a meeting between Professor Mike Hawley’s Personal
Information Architecture Group and Professor Neil Gershenfeld’s Physics and Media Group, both at
the MIT Media Laboratory. Professor Hawley’s group needed a interconnect body-borne information
appliances, and Professor Gershenfeld’s group had been applying electric field sensing to position
measurement. 3. RED TACTON TRANSCEIVER A. Working of RedTacton Transceiver The signal from
the connecting point is sent to both the circuits such as data sense circuit and transmitter circuit.
Circuit of data sense intellects the signal from the interface and if the data is present means it passes
the control signal to the transmitter which stimulates the transmitter circuit. The transmitter circuit
changes the electric field on the surface of our human body. This change in the electric field from the
transmitter circuit is detected by the electro-optic

sensor and laser beam technology. The outcome of the electro optic sensor is assumed by the
detector circuit; finally it reaches the receiving Red Tacton device.

Investigating the effects of Red Tacton technology on human health, which is obviously an important
issue the transmitting and receiving electrodes of the Red Tacton receiver are completely covered
with insulating film, so the body of the person acting as a transmission medium is completely
insulated. This makes it possible for current to flow into a person’s body from a transceiver. When
communication occurs, displacement current is generated by the electrons in the body because the
body is subjected to minute electrical fields. However, suchdisplacement currents are very common
everyday occurrences to which we are all subjected. Red Tacton conforms to the “Radio
FrequencyExposure Protection Standard (RCR STD-38)” issued by the association of Radio industries
and business (ARIB). The levels produced by Red Tacton are well below the safety limit specified by
this standard. 4. FEATURES OF RED TACTON RedTacton has a wide range of unprecedented new
functional features and enormous potential as a Human Area Networking technology. The RedTacton
is a big achievement given by NTT to people. The RedTacton has three main functional features
 A. Touch This is the prime feature of RedTacton. A communications path can be created with a
simple touch, automatically

initiating the flow of data between a body-centric electronic device and a computer that is
embedded in the environment. For example, a simple handshake between people having RedTacton
device, sitting, stepping on something and so on. B. Broadband and Interactive The second feature is
about little interference or no interference. The RedTacton reliance communication between two
points on the body, regardless that the communication must be confined to the surface of the body,
but can travel through the user’s clothes, shoes and so on to the RedTacton device. The dissimilar
wireless technologies, the transmission speed does not vary even in the presence of large crowds of
people all communicating at the same time in meeting rooms, auditoriums or stores. The duplex,
interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps. Therefore 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. Hence the body surface is the transmission path,
increasing the number of connected users directly increases the available number of individual
communication channels. C. Any Media The third feature is any media meaning that the transmission
medium is not immobile. A wide variety of materials can be used as the transmission medium,
meanwhile the material is conductive and dielectric, which includes water and other liquids, various
metals, certain plastics, glass. The ordinary structures such as tables and walls that are familiar and
readily available, one could easily construct a consolidated communication environment at very low
cost using RedTacton.

6. APPLICATIONS OF REDTACTON RedTacton has wide range of applications, in those some of the
applications are as follows: A. One to One Services 1) Elimination of human error: - RedTacton
devices embedded medicine bottles transmit information on the medicines attributes. Whenever the
user touches the wrong medicine, immediately an alarm will trigger on the terminal he is carrying.
The alarm sounds onlywhenever the user actually touches the medicine bottle, it reduces false
alarms common with passive wireless ID tags, which trigger simply by proximity. Avoidance of risk at
construction sites. (An alarm sounds only if special equipment is handled by anyone other than
supervisors) 2) Marketing applications: - When a consumer stands in front of an advertising panel,
information matching and advertising his or her attributes is automatically displayed. By standing in
front of items they are interested in and also touching it, consumers can get more related
information. Inside a shop, shoppers can view related information on their mobile terminals
immediately after touching a product. B. Intuitive Operations 1) Intuitive Operations: - 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. When user feel complicated, configurations are reduced by
downloading device drivers at first touch. They can transfer songs to portable music players from
notebook PCs with just a touch 2) Instant Private Data Exchange: -By shaking hands, personal profile
data can be exchanged between mobile terminals on the user. (Electronic exchange of business
cards) Communication can be kept private using authentication and encryption technologies. Group
photos taken by digital cameras are instantly transferred to individual’s mobile terminal. Diagrams
drawn on white boards during meetings are transferred to individual’s mobile terminals on the spot.
C. Personalization 1) Personalization of Mobile Phones: - Your own phone number is allocated and
billing commences. Automatic importing of personal address book and call history. The PCs are
configured to the user’s specifications simply by touching the mouse. 2) Personalization of
Automobiles: - 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. D. New Behavior
Pattern 1) Conferencing System: - An electrically conductive sheet is embedded in the table. A
network connection is initiated simply by placing a laptop on the table. Using different sheet patterns
enable segmentation of the table into subnets. Walls and partitions can be used as communication
media, eliminating construction to install electrical wiring. Ad hoc networking using conductive liquid
sprays is possible 2) User Verification Management: - 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 bycombining personal verification tools such as fingerprint ID
or other biometric in the mobile terminal.

Future Scope

7. FUTURE SCOPE AND DEVELOPMENT Red Tacton has a wide range of unique new
functional features and enormous potential as a Human Area Networking technology. Red
Tacton is a big achievement given by NTT to people. NTT is committed to quickly
identifying and opening up those application areas with the most commercial promise for a
business development process to be coordinated under NTT’s Comprehensive Producer
Function program. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp (NTT) is planning a commercial
launch of a system to enter rooms that frees users from the trouble of rummaging in their
pockets or handbags for ID cards or keys. Data will travel through the user’s clothing,
handbag or shoes, anyone carrying a special card can unlock the door simply by touching the
knob or standing on a particular spot without taking the card out. It will have many future
applications such as walkthrough ticket gate, a cabinet that opens only to authorized people
and a television controlthat automatically chooses favorite programs. The system also
improves security. It ensures that only drivers can open their cars by touching the doors if the
keys are in their pockets, not people around them. 8. CONCLUSIONS Red-Tacton
technology is better when compared with other technologies; it is well-known for its data
transmission at 10 Mbps within a shortest distance. The limitations of various wireless
network technologies such as data security, data speed, etc., can be overcome by RedTacton.
So This technology definitely stands out with perfection, when transfer of data is fast,
feasible and more importantly reliable. RedTacton technology is expected to overcome the
Bluetooth technology in the future. The evolution of Red Tacton technology is a big
achievement, which will likely be targeted for use in applications such as wireless headset,
medical application, security applications, wireless transmission by applying different
actions. page. REFERENCES [1] Wikipedia. (February 2009). Red Tacton [Online].
