Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008098397A1] The invention relates to a system comprising a portable device for transmitting signals to a second device, wherein the portable device can be worn on the body of a user. The portable device comprises at least two electrodes and transmitter electronics for applying an electrical signal between the electrodes in such a manner that the signal can be coupled into the body of a user by means of the electrodes and can be detected by means of at least one electrode of the second device when emitted by the body. According to the invention, a portable device or a second device (receiver) is characterized in that at least one of the electrodes is at least partially transparent.
