Microsoft's new patent applications, the use of human transmission of data

The human body is conductive, then the human body as a transmission medium to transmit data is feasible?

This is Microsoft's recent patent-pending content. From the contents of the file (as shown below), simply touch can complete the data transmission between two devices.

This may sound a little strange, but if implemented, future application scenarios actually many. Such as by the way of direct shopping, instead of fingerprint identification or credit card; Or leave contact way but not to save the phone number, scan two-dimensional code, just shake hands directly.

But let ideas become reality there are still some difficulties, IBM as early as 1996 had a similar idea, just not much people know it.
