Abstract: Data can be transferred from one device to another in the Internet of Things without using a network by a touch-based human body communication (HBC) interaction between a wearable storage module and HBC-compatible interface pads on external host devices. Information on a source host device is copied to the wearable storage module when the user touches the source device's HBC interface pad, can be stored indefinitely on the wearable module, and is copied to a destination host device when the user touches the destination devices HBC interface pad. Because the interface pads only need to be simple electrodes, their size and shape can be widely varied to fit the host devices.
