Abstract: | Human body is charged during walking. Continuous monitoring of the body potential has been made using an induction electrode set on ceiling of a room. The body voltage estimated from the induced voltage was a few hundred volts and dependent on material of shoes, as expected. The induced voltage varied periodically while walking and the waveform was different depending on examinees or manner of walking, even the same footwear was used. In this study, spectrum analysis was made on the acquired voltage, and frequency component was compared. The voltage spectrum of 4 different persons, and 3 different walking patterns of one person were obtained, and their correlation was compared. The results indicate that the spectrum was different depending on the examinees. Among the tested 4 examinees, personal identification was possible using the correlation of the induced voltage while walking. This novel contactless body potential monitoring method can be applied to many new fields such as medical practice and food factory. |
