BEAM: Body Coupled Communication Enabled Amplitude Modulation for Skinput application

Body Coupled Communication (BCC) technology has the potential to revolutionise the wearable device field by providing substantial advantages in security, privacy and usability, yet understanding of the factors that influence signal path loss in BCC is crucial for developing accurate measurement techniques and refining the communication system. In this paper a new approach in proposed taking advantage of varying signal loss on touch to enable user input detection and interpretation, it demonstrates high accuracy and reliability. This technology can potentially provide new opportunities for visually impaired or disabled individuals by designating specific body locations as scenario activation triggers and enabling tactile and intuitive interaction with the technological environment. To study the impact of human touch on signal path loss multiple experiments were carried out and the findings enhance the understanding of the factors affecting BCC performance and provides an insight for further research.
