Abstract:
PURPOSE: A human body communication apparatus allowing noncontact and a human body communication method allowing noncontact in the apparatus using frequency selective baseband are provided to remove the interference among users by using a restricted frequency band for which a inductive electromagnetic filed characteristic and a human body delivery characteristic are most efficient. CONSTITUTION: A human body communication transmitter(120) distributes transmitting data based on frequency-selective spreading code through a frequency-selective baseband. After multiplexing with a header, the human body communication transmitter outputs the transmitting data as a transmitting signal. An antenna(150) transmits the amplified transmitting signal of a signal processing unit based on the contact or non-contact with a human body to a communication device via the human body.
Abstract:
A chair and a multimedia playing device are provided to listen to a sound signal through a simple contact operation of user. A sound transmitting device(100) restores a sound signal around an ear of a human body after generating a demodulation signal for demodulating a sound signal from a synchronization signal and the synchronization signal including the sound signal. If user is contacted with a surface of a chair, the sound transmitting device transmits the sound signal. The sound transmitting device is positioned in a surface of a back cushion part contacted with a back of user, or is positioned in a surface of a seating part contacted with a thigh of user. The sound transmitting device includes a first sound transmitting part(100a) and a second sound transmitting part(100b). The first sound transmitting part synchronizes the sound signal to a high frequency signal, and outputs the synchronization signal to a human body. The second sound transmitting part outputs a demodulation signal for offsetting the high frequency signal to the human body.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for transmitting a sound through nonlinear media are provided to reduce power consumption by using one transmitting signal through one transmitting device. A pre-distorter(101) pre-distorts a sound signal(a(t)) of an audible frequency band by considering a frequency property of a transmitting part(104) and a nonlinear medium(105). A sigma-delta modulating part(102) modulates the distorted sound signal(s(t)) into a signal(M(t)) having two signal levels. The sigma-delta modulating part processes the signals by a frequency larger than twice of bandwidth of the sound signal. A high frequency modulating part(103) generates a high frequency modulating signal(p(t)) by multiplying a carrier signal having a frequency higher than an audible frequency by an output signal of the sigma-delta modulating part. The transmitting part converts the high frequency modulating signal into a sound wave signal.

A receiving unit(300) receives the frame from the human body, performs the Manchester decoding, performs the correlation between the decoding result and pseudo-noise code, and then performs the frame synchronization based on the correlation result.
Abstract:
A human body communication apparatus is provided to minimize a power consumption of a human body communication modem or a transceiving circuit by detecting specific variation of an electrostatic capacity by a user contact. A contact sensor(110) comprises a large number of electrodes(101a~101i) for exchanging signals with a human body and multiple electrostatic capacity sensors(102a-102i) for detecting a electrostatic capacity by a contact or an approach of a human body. More than one of the electrodes is connected to the human body communication transceiver or modem, and one or more electrodes connected to transceiver or modem for human body communication forms contact point with human body while human body communication. A signal analysis unit(120) interprets a electric signal outputted from multiple electrostatic capacity sensors. A control signal generating unit(130) receives an input signal from the signal analysis unit and generates control signal. When the electrostatic capacity shows a specific pattern of changes by a user, the human body communication apparatus connects a signal between one or more electrode among the electrodes contacting human body and human body communication transceiver or modem.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for communicating a sound wave of a human body are provided to simply and efficiently communicate data among apparatuses contacting the human body by using a phenomenon of transmitting the sound wave through the human body. A sound wave converter(120) connected to an input/output unit(110) converts an electrical signal of output data into a sound wave, applies the sound signal to a human body(10), and converts the sound wave transmitted through the human body into an electrical signal. Here, the sound wave signal applied to the human body is transmitted from a part of the human body which contacts a first apparatus for communicating the sound wave of the human body to a part of the human body which contacts a second apparatus for communicating the sound wave of the human body and input into the second apparatus for communicating the sound wave of the human body. Since the input sound wave signal is converted into an electrical signal, again, data is communicated between the first and second apparatuses for communicating the sound wave of the human body. A switch(130) is connected to the sound wave converter and input and output ports of a data processor(140). The switch switches the input/output data by changing the switch to the input port or output port in response to a control signal generated by the data processor. In a case where there is data to be transmitted, the data processor outputs a data signal having an analog or digital form to the output port in an electrical signal form. At this time, the data processor generates a control signal and changes the switch so as to connect the output port to the sound wave converter. In addition, in a case where there is a sound wave signal to be transmitted through the human body, the data processor generates a control signal and changes the switch so as to connect the data processor to the input port. The sound wave converter receives the converted electrical signal. The apparatus for communicating the sound wave of the human body according to the first embodiment of the present invention communicates data through the human body.

A system and a method for transmitting a human body using a single sound source facilitate implementation of the human body transmission system by including a sound generator in one transmitter only. A sound transmission system(30) includes two transmission units directly contacted with the human body. A first transmission unit(10) transmits the mixed signal to the human body by mixing a first high frequency signal with a sound signal. A second transmission unit(20) transmits a second high frequency signal having the same frequency as the first high frequency signal through the human body for restoring the sound signal by attenuating the first high frequency signal through interference around an ear of a user.
