3. RED TACTON:
So far we have
seen LAN, MAN, WAN,
INTERNET & many more……
• It uses surface of a human body
as a safe, high speed network
transmission path.
• The name “TACTON” has originated, as the technology involves
“touch and action”. The word “RED” indicates “warm and cordial
communications.”
• RedTacton uses weak electric fields on the surface of the body as a
transmission medium to enable data speeds of up to 10Mbps
between any two points on the body.
4. • NTT (Nippon Telegraph and
Telephone Corp.) found this
amazing technology in the year
2005.
• NTT’s RedTacton is a break-
through technology that, for the
first time, enables reliable high-
speed HAN based on human
centred interactions being
easier for people to use.
• Certain developments were
made all the way in this
technology and it is the way
being used in all sectors for
sensing technologies in security
systems.
6. 1. The RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on
the surface of the body.
2. The RedTacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric
field on the surface of the body caused by the transmitter.
3. RedTacton relies upon the principle that the optical properties
of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of
a weak electric field.
4. RedTacton 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.

8. 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 RedTacton, 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.
9. Communication speed can Device drivers can be
downloaded
deteriorate in crowded spaces instantly and executable
programs
10. This will soon replace the current existing technologies like Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and many other personal area networks.
11. 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.
12. One-to-One services
-----When a consumer
stands in front of an
advertising panel,
advertising and information
matching his or her
attributes is automatically
displayed.
-----By touching or standing in front of items they are interested
in..........., consumers can get more in-depth information.
Examples of Similar Applications:
•Brochures only of products of interest to the visitor can be
downloaded automatically at trade shows.
13. 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.
----Complicated configurations are
reduced by downloading device
drivers "at first touch".
Examples of Similar Applications:
•Transfer songs to portable music players
from notebook PCs with just a touch
14. NEW BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS:
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.
RedTacton can carry music or video between headsets,
mobile devices, mobilephones, etc.
Users can listen to music from aRedTacton player simply by
putting on a headset or holding a viewer.
15. 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 by combining personal
verification tools such as fingerprint
ID or other biometric in the mobile
terminal.
SECURITY APPLICATIONS:
16. ----Potential for use as communication
method in outer space and under water
----Potential for use as communication
method with devices inside the human body
COMMUNICATIONS IN NEW
DOMAINS
18. The advent of RedTacton technology by NTT is in itself revolutionary, which
will likely be targeted for use in applications such as wireless headphones,
wearable medical devices, security applications, point-of-sale interactions
etc. This could get as simple as two people equipped with RedTacton
devices being able to exchange data just by shaking hands.
It is amazing to see such a technology in the lives of human beings who
always want comforts for their living in the present world.
