Senducers

HBC
As a holistic approach, HBC describes and transmits the features
of a subject from the human perspective. This approach involves
using the five senses in characterizing a physical subject into the
information domain and actuating and transmitting the obtained
information through a communication platform. This platform allows a physical subject to be understood by two HBC users who
mutually agree in the way the subject is observed by individual
users separately.
To successfully transmit human bond information through a
communication medium, a system should be able to
C

sample a physical subject,

interpret such subject through the five human senses,

transform the obtained information into a dataset,

securely encapsulate the dataset by adding encryption and
other security add-ons,
compress the dataset for transmission through a highly efficient communication system,
transmit the dataset through an appropriate communication
medium, and

Senducers function like human senses and characterize a subject
from the perspective of the human sensory domain. This device
takes the form of a capsule or shell and contains the following
elements.

Sensing transducers, which interpret a physical such subject
through the five human senses
Intelligence systems to enhance the sensing process and
make the subject perceivable
Radios for transmitting data between HBS and senducers
through a communication link

Senducers exhibit the same level of intelligence as their sensing
domains. They prevent errors by reducing human involvement,
thus allowing the subject to be interpreted with minimum possibilities of fading and the least amount of possible deviation. Senducers
can be categorized as collective or distributive depending on their
applicability.
Collective or colocated senducers are also called "unoducers"
because they contain a sampling device with several transducers in a
single monolith. Distributive senducers achieve extensive sensing by
evaluating the subject panoramically; these senducers may be used
for individualistic sensing and may consist of a chain of unoducers.

obtain the transmitted information at the receiving side.

HBS
HBC ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of HBC makes it superior to existing communication systems. Figure 1 shows the components of HBC, namely, (1)
sense transducers or senducers that convert stimuli into electrical
signals for further processing, (2) a human bond sensorium (HBS)
that receives and converts the signals from senducers to make them
perceivable by humans, and (3) a human perceivable transposer
(HPT).

Senducers gather the required data and transmit these data to a
distant location during the sensing process. HBS provides senducers with a common node, to which the latter can send their collected information, considering that material sensing can be accomplished only by physically approaching the subject. Senducers
must also possess an energy-saving mechanism to allow them to
perform subject sampling and transduction. HBS is assigned a
large part of the information processing task. HBS ensures holistic
communication and guarantees the integrity, security, authenticity,
and reliability of the data being transmitted (Figure 2).

The information transmitted by HBS is transposed in a format that
is perceptible to humans through the use of HPT. The information is subsequently transformed into sensory stimuli, which can
be produced in two ways as follows:
