Agenda Introduction Overview of Technology HAN as a New Computing Realm HAN & Technology RedTacton How It works Features Application Comparison of Network(PAN) Technologies Conclusion Question Human Area Network ? Introduction Human Area network An emerging field of communications technology with the potential to offer significant advantages to Pervasive computing. (military operations, smart home etc). Overview of Technology (1/2) Is the idea of “Pervasive computing” really old? -1988 Mark Weiser, 1952-1999 Father and founder of ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing -“era that replaces PCs with invincible computers embedded into everyday objects.” Overview of Technology (2/2) Pervasive Computing Network Technologies: WPAN •Wi-Fi - [ IEEE 802.11 ]. • Bluetooth - [ IEEE 802.15.1 ]. •ZigBee - [ IEEE 802.15.4 ]. •and other RF technologies. Human Area Networks (HAN), exists within the Personal The most frequent to an individual areenabling realized in WAN and MAN ::impacts fundamental components Area (PAN) bubble. thoseNetwork regions proximate to him. global interconnectivity. Human Area Networks as a New, “Adaptive” Computing Realm (1/3) Human Area Networks as a New, “Adaptive” Computing Realm (2/3) Human Area Networks as a New, “Adaptive” Computing Realm (3/3) Human Area Network • Its a new technology which uses human body as transmission media. • It gives us safe and high speed network transmission. • Uses weak electric fields on the surface of the body as a transmission medium. Enabling Technology RedTacton RedTacton (1/2) • It leverages the conductive properties of the human body to transfer data among electronic devices. • Conceived and patented in the mid-1990s by Neil Gershenfeld and Thomas G. Zimmerman at the MIT Media Lab. RedTacton (2/2) It is a new HAN technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. Uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared. How it Works (1/3) How it Works (2/3) How it Works (3/3) 1 The RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the surface of the body. 2 The electric field sensor (transistor or photonic electric field sensor) detects electric field that reaches the RedTacton receiver. 3 Signals are processed in the receiver circuit and the data is downloaded.
