Keywords:
Human body Chanel (HBC), Electro-Quasistatic Human Field Communication technology (EQ-HFC), Human Base Communication (HBC) Channel, Capacitive Coupling, and TX/RX LossesAbstract
Human Tap introduces an avant-garde approach to secure data transmission synchronization, leveraging a harmonious integration of cutting-edge technologies. This unique method seamlessly incorporates Near Field Communication (NFC) and Human Field Communication (HFC) to deliver a range of secure communication solutions. The system's detailed specifications encompass crucial parameters such as maximum coverage range, frequency of operation, communication type, and data rate for each protocol. This tailoring enables the system to cater specifically to diverse applications, including but not limited to credit card payments, e-ticket booking, EZ-Pass, and item tracking. Noteworthy is Human Tap's proficiency in providing an exhaustive analysis of distance and time relationships, achieving an unprecedented microsecond-level accuracy for distances spanning up to 2 cm. This inventive synchronization method not only establishes a secure data transmission environment but also proves highly adaptable, effectively meeting the challenges posed by modern communication systems. In doing so, Human Tap sets a new standard for secure and versatile data transmission technologies.
