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.

Data storage, input, and output for human body communication

Systems, apparatuses, and methods may include a human body communication data storage device having at least first and second electrodes and a human body communication modem. A storage component communicating with the human body communication modem includes a first secure storage location provided with a user-specific authentication record and a second data storage location.

Human body communication device with secure access

A network may determine the location of network nodes and tracked assets and make location-based decisions.

Logical boundaries in communications networks

A wireless network may report the location of assets to a call routing apparatus to aid in the routing of calls.

Call routing in a location-aware network

A wireless network having wireless network access devices may determine the location of newly added wireless network access devices.
