Skinplex

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skinplex is the brand name for a process for data transmission and near-field recognition via human skin .

Communication already takes place when approaching. The person wears a small transmitter that modulates the capacitive field of this person. A receiver demodulates the data and can at the same time make a qualitative and quantitative statement about the distance. Skinplex is an application of the capacitive data transmission first proposed by MIT in 1996 . The distance sensing, which is also the subject of a complaint by the applicant of this brand name, has been known and researched in electrical engineering as a 'capacitive proximity switch' for over 70 years. The possible use of this technology as anti-trap protection is therefore also known. Other areas of application are access control , intelligent switches and electronic locks. It belongs to the NFC area (Near Field Communication ), PAN ( Personal Area Network ) or BAN ( Body Area Network ).
