System and Method for Intra-Body Communication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- a) generating, by a mechanical signal generator located internal or external to a mammal, an engineered mechanical signal comprising encoded data;
b) transmitting the engineered mechanical signal through a musculoskeletal system of the mammal;
c) sensing, by a receiver device, the engineered mechanical signal from the musculoskeletal system; and
d) applying error compensation to a data sequence of the sensed mechanical signal.

Abstract
A method comprising generating a mechanical signal in a mammal, the mechanical signal having a frequency no more than 50,000 Hz, transmitting the mechanical signal through the musculoskeletal system in the mammal, and sensing the mechanical signal from the musculoskeletal system. A method of triggering an internal event comprising generating a mechanical signal internal or external to a mammal, transmitting the signal through the musculoskeletal system of the mammal, detecting the mechanical signal, and triggering an event in response to the mechanical signal. A method of drug delivery comprising generating a mechanical signal internal or external to a mammal, transmitting the signal through the musculoskeletal system of the mammal, detecting the mechanical signal, and delivering the drug in response to the mechanical signal.
