- 2. Description of the Prior Art

The system includes a portable transmitter in the form of a wrist watch to be worn on a user, and a signal receiver. The transmitter has a pair of electrodes on the back of the wrist watch for direct contact with the skin of the user. One electrode acts as a signal electrode which is connected through a portion of the user's body to a touch electrode of the signal receiver, while the other electrode acts as a ground electrode which is coupled through the other portion of the user's body to a circuit ground of the signal receiver to complete a signal path through the user's body for data transmission from the wrist watch to the signal receiver. When using this system used for a verified access to a place or database, however, the user is always required to keep in mind to carry the dedicated wrist watch having the electrodes. This may be sometimes inconvenient and even troublesome for the user who has his own wrist watch.

The system in accordance with the present invention comprises a transmitter adapted to be carried by the user and a receiver adapted to be connected to an associated equipment which utilizes data transmitted from the transmitter. The transmitter has a ground electrode to be placed in close proximity to the human body, a signal electrode to be placed also in close proximity to the human body in a spatially spaced relation from the ground electrode, a data memory storing first data, a first modulator for converting the first data into a first modulated voltage signal, and a first signal transmitter which applies the first modulated voltage signal across the signal electrode and the ground electrode. The receiver includes a circuit ground adapted to be connected to the ground, a touch electrode adapted for direct contact with a portion of the human body carrying the transmitter, a signal detector connected across the signal electrode and the circuit ground to detect the first modulated voltage signal, and a demodulator which converts the first modulated voltage signal back into the first data. The characterizing feature of the present invention resides in that the system includes a garment which is adapted to be worn by a user and integrates the ground and signal electrodes in such a manner that at least one of the electrodes is kept in a closely facing relation to the skin of the user, thereby establishing an electrical path extending through a portion of the human body for signal transmission from the transmitter to the receiver. With the integration of the two electrodes into the garment, the user wearing the garment as an everyday clothes or uniform such as a white gown can be easy and convenient to carry the transmitter for successful transmission of the data to the receiver.
- Preferably, each of the ground and signal electrodes is formed by a plurality of electrically conductive threads and is sewed to be integrated into the garment. Thus, the electrodes can be easily integrated into the garment and cannot sacrifice comfortableness of the garment. Each electrode made of the electrically conductive threads can be woven into a fabric so as to be lined on the garment. Alternatively, the electrode of the conductive threads can be woven into an indispensable part of the garment. With the use of the electrical conductive threads, the garment provided with the resulting electrodes can be washed like ordinary clothes, which enhances availability of the system.
- The ground electrode is preferred to be located on the garment closer to the foot of the user than the signal electrode for establishing a consistent electrical path through the human body. That is, the electrical path is composed of a first fraction path extending from the ground electrode down to the foot of the user and through the ground to the circuit ground of the receiver, and a second fraction path extending from the signal electrode towards and through a finger of the user to the touch electrode of the receiver without interfering the first fraction path, thereby assuring efficient and reliable data transmission.
- In a preferred embodiment where both of the ground and signal electrodes are held on the garment so as to come into a closely facing relation with the skin of the user, the transmitter has a case which accommodates an electrical circuitry realizing the first modulator and the first signal transmitter, and which is formed as a separate article from the electrodes. The case is provided with terminals for electrically connecting the circuitry with the ground and signal electrodes. In this connection, the garment is additionally provided with a ground lead and a signal lead which extend respectively from the ground and signal electrodes for connection with the terminals of the case. Both of the ground and signal leads are formed by a strand of the electrically conductive threads and are sewed on the garment. Thus, the leads can be also easily and consistently integrated into the garment to retain comfortableness of the garment.
- A coupling member is included in the system to make the case detachable from the garment and at the same time make the electrical circuitry detachable from the electrodes, i.e., the corresponding leads. The coupling member may be realized by a spring-loaded clip which is pivotally supported to the case so as to be movable between a pinching position and a release position. The clip is formed with the terminals which are electrically isolated from each other for connection respectively with the ground and signal leads at the pinching position.
- Instead of the clip, the coupling member may comprise a pair of first fasteners each composed of one of a socket and a ball forming a snap button for mounting the case to the garment, and a pair of second fasteners each composed of the other of the socket and the ball. The first fasteners are fixed on the case and connected across the first signal transmitter of the circuitry, while the second fasteners are fixed on the garment and are permanently connected to respectively to the ground and signal electrodes. When using the snap button to make the case detachable from the garment, the second fasteners are preferably held in direct contact with the ground and signal electrodes, respectively formed of the electrically conductive threads, thereby substantially eliminating the leads from the garment. In this connection, the ground and signal electrodes may be in the form of annular bands provided inside of a sleeve of the garment in a spaced relation from each other along the length of the sleeve.
- Preferably, the case is made water-tight for sealing the electric circuitry so that the garment can be washed like ordinal clothes even with the case. Further, the case may be in the form of a plate which encapsulate the circuitry and a battery energizing the circuitry.

FIG. 1 , there is shown a principle of a data transmission system using a human body as a signal transmission path. The system includes awearable transmitter 10 adapted to be worn on the human body, and areceiver 40 adapted to be connected to an equipment such as apersonal computer 60 which utilizes data transmitted from the transmitter for controlled operation of thecomputer 60, for example, a verified log-in of the user. Thetransmitter 10 is connected to aground electrode 31 and asignal electrode 32 which are integrated into agarment 30 worn by a user in close proximity to the skin of the user. When the user carrying thetransmitter 10 touches atouch electrode 41 of thereceiver 40, a signal path is established which extends from thesignal electrode 32 through a portion of the user's body, thetouch electrode 41, an internal circuit of thereceiver 40, acircuit ground 49 of thereceiver 40, the ground G, the other portion of the user's body, theground electrode 31 and an internal circuit of thetransmitter 10. The signal path extending through the human body is indicated by dotted lines. Thus, a voltage signal applied across theelectrodes receiver 40 when the user touches thetouch electrode 41. InFIG. 1 , the circuit ground of thereceiver 40 is connected to the ground G through aground line 64 common to thecomputer 60 for the sake of simplicity. However, the circuit ground may be capacitively connected to the ground G or even capacitively connected directly to the major portion of the user's body for establishing the signal path. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thetransmitter 10 includes an electric circuitry and abattery 12 which are accommodated within acase 11. The circuitry includes adata memory 13 storing data to be transmitted, acontroller 14, amodulator 15 modulating the data into a modulated voltage signal, asignal transmitter 16 applying the modulated voltage signal across thesignal electrode 32 and theground electrode 31 on thegarment 30. Also included in the circuitry is asignal detector 20 which is connected to detect a start signal transmitted from thereceiver 40 through thesignal electrode 32. The start signal is received across thesignal electrode 32 and acircuit ground 19. Thecircuit ground 19 may be connected to theground electrode 31. Only thecontroller 14 and thesignal detector 20 are constantly energized by thebattery 12 to be ready for detecting the start signal from thereceiver 40. In the non-operative condition where thetransmitter 10 is not transmitting the data, thecontroller 14 is kept in a sleep mode of consuming less electric current from thebattery 12. When the start signal is received as a consequence of the user touching thetouch electrode 41, thesignal detector 20 wakes up thecontroller 14 which in turn energizes thedata memory 13, themodulator 15, and thesignal transmitter 16 to apply the modulated voltage signal across thesignal electrode 32 and theground electrode 31 for initiating the data transmission. Thecontroller 14 incorporates a timer which starts upon detection of the start signal to provide a predetermined time during which the data is transmitted. After the elapse of the predetermined time, thecontroller 14 responds to deenergize themodulator 15, thesignal transmitter 16 and thedata memory 13. For this purpose, thecontroller 14 includes power switches 21 and 22 which are actuated by thesignal detector 20 and the timer to selectively energize and deenergize themodulator 15, thesignal transmitter 16 and thedata memory 13. Dotted lines inFIG. 2 show power supply lines from thebattery 12. Thus, after transmitting the data, thecontroller 14 goes back into the sleep mode of consuming less current or energy but being kept ready to detect of the start signal for another data transmission. Thetransmitter 10 optionally includes adisplay 24 for visual indication of the data stored in thedata memory 15. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thereceiver 40 includes various circuits connected to thetouch electrode 41 on the exterior of a housing of the receiver. The circuits are energized by apower source 61 provided in thecomputer 60 to which thereceiver 40 is attached. The circuits are commonly connected to acircuit ground 49 which is in turn connected to aground terminal 69 of the computer for connection with the ground. The circuits include atouch sensor 42 which is connected to thetouch electrode 41 to give a touch signal when thetouch electrode 41 is touched by the user's body. Also included in the circuits are astart signal generator 43, asignal detector 44, ademodulator 45, and acontroller 46 which controls the operations of the circuits. Thesignal transmitter 43 applies the start signal to thetouch electrode 41 in response to the touch signal. Thesignal detector 44 detects the modulated voltage signal which is transmitted from thetransmitter 10 and received across thetouch electrode 41 and thecircuit ground 49. The modulated voltage signal thus detected is demodulated at thedemodulator 45 to derive the first data which is then fed to thecomputer 60 to be processed thereat. For example, the first data includes a user's identification code which is verified at aprocessor 62 of the computer with reference to various codes assigned to different users and stored in adata memory 63. When the user's ID is verified as a correct one, the computer completes the log-in sequence to permit the access by the user. - Under the non-operating condition where the
touch electrode 41 is not touched by the human body, only thecontroller 46 and thetouch sensor 42 are energized to be ready for detection of the touching. Upon thetouch electrode 41 being touched, thetouch sensor 42 gives the touch signal to thecontroller 46 which responds to closeswitches signal transmitter 43, thesignal detector 44, and thedemodulator 45, thereby generating the start signal and making the circuits ready for receiving the data from thetransmitter 10. Thecontroller 46 also includes a timer which starts, upon receiving the touch signal, to provide a predetermined time interval during which the data transmission from thefirst transceiver 10 is expected to complete. After the elapse of the predetermined time interval, thecontroller 46 responds to open theswitches signal transmitter 43, thesignal detector 44, and thedemodulator 45. Thus, thereceiver 40 is kept in a sleep mode of consuming less electricity until thetouch electrode 41 is touched. Dotted lines inFIG. 3 show power supply lines. Thereceiver 40 further includes aninterface 54 in the form of the USB for transferring the data to thecomputer 60 as well as for receiving the power from apower supply 61. - Further, the
transmitter 10 and thereceiver 40 are designed to effect a bilateral data transmission therebetween. For this purpose, thetransmitter 10 additionally includes ademodulator 25 for demodulating data transmitted from thereceiver 40 and that thereceiver 40 additionally includes amodulator 47 for modulating the data to be transmitted from thereceiver 40. Themodulator 47 of gives a modulated voltage signal indicative of the data to be transmitted to thetransmitter 10. Thesignal transmitter 43 of thereceiver 40 is responsible for applying the modulated voltage signal to thetouch electrode 41 for data transmission back to thetransmitter 10. - In operation, when the user touches the
touch electrode 41 of thereceiver 40, thetouch sensor 42 provides a touch signal in response to which thecontroller 46 energizes themodulator 47, thesignal transmitter 43, thedemodulator 45, and thesignal detector 44. At first, thecontroller 46 retrieves the data from thedata memory 63 of thecomputer 60 and instructs to give and apply the modulated voltage signal indicative of the data. In response to the voltage signal from thereceiver 40, thecontroller 14 of thetransmitter 10 activates thedata memory 13 and performs a suitable processing of the data from thedata memory 13 in consideration of the data received from thereceiver 40. Thecontroller 14 updates the data of thedata memory 13 depending upon the result of the processing. Thereafter, thecontroller 14 activates themodulator 15 and thesignal transmitter 16 so as to transmit the modulated voltage signal indicative of the updated data to thereceiver 40 through theelectrodes receiver 40 is converted into the data which is utilized by thecontroller 46 for a controlled operation of the computer or passed to another equipment to be processed thereat for a specific operation of the equipment. In this manner, the two-way data transmission is made between the transmitter and the receiver in a half-duplex manner. Depending upon a specific application to which the system is applied, the system may be designed to have more than one data transmission cycles in which the one-way data transmission from either of the transmitter and the receiver repeats twice or more. In such case, the data in thedata memory 13 of thetransmitter 10 is modified or updated by the data transmitted from thereceiver 40. - Also, for minimizing energy consumption, the
transmitter 10 is kept in the sleep mode until the modulated voltage signal is received from thereceiver 40, and comes back again in the sleep mode after the data transmission between the transmitter and the receiver is completed. In other words, thedata memory 13, themodulator 15, thesignal transmitter 16, and thedemodulator 21 are energized by closure of theswitches touch electrode 41 is touched by the human body, and come back to the sleep mode after the data transmission between the first and second transceivers are completed. Thus, thesignal transmitter 43, themodulator 47, thesignal detector 44, and thedemodulator 45 are energized by closure ofswitches - As shown in

That is, the snap button is made of conductive material and composed of asocket 81 and aball 82. In this connection, aground electrode 31A and asignal electrode 32A are provided at the sleeve of thegarment 30 for direct coupling with the electric circuitry of thetransmitter 10A. Other structures are identical to the above embodiment and therefore no duplicated explanation is made herein. Thecase 11A is in the form of a water-tight thin plate accommodating theelectric circuitry 28A of thetransmitter 10A and thebattery 12A. Thecase 11A is provided with a pair of thesockets 81 which are internally connected to the electrical circuitry of thetransmitter 10A, while theelectrodes balls 82. As in the previous embodiment, each electrode is made of conductive threads woven and sewed on or into the sleeve to form an annular band surrounding the sleeve in close proximity to the skin of the user wearing the garment for establishing a reliable electrical connection to the human body. In this embodiment, theballs 82 are sewed directly on the electrodes by use of the conductive threads or press-fitted into the electrode, thereby eliminating the leads extending otherwise by a certain distance along the garment from the electrodes.
