A method and system for energy transmission of a sensor network using a body surface channel

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for transmitting energy of a sensor network by using a body surface channel. The method comprises the following steps of (1) placing a passive sensor without batteries on a person to be measured, placing an electrode of the passive sensor on the body surface of the person to be measured or in the body of the person to be measured, placing a sensor controller with a battery and an electrode on the person to be measured, and placing the electrode controlled by the sensor on the body surface of the person to be measured; (2) transmitting signals to the sensor controller by using a remote wireless control end and starting the sensor controller; (3) transmitting carrier energy to the passive sensor by using the sensor controller through the electrode, which is adhered to the body surface of the person to be measured, of the sensor controller; (4) transmitting the carrier energy to the electrode of the passive sensor through the body surface channel of the person to be measured; and (5) converting the carrier energy into working voltage by using the passive sensor so as to provide energy for the passive sensor. The method and the system for transmitting the energy of the sensor network by using the body surface channel has the advantages of high transmitting efficiency, high convenience and safety, low cost, wide application range and the like.
