| 1. A method for receiving data in a human body communication system, comprising the steps of:
selecting a pair of receiving electrodes from among plural receiving electrodes placed on the surface of the human body;
processing a voltage value sensed by and induced at the selected pair of receiving electrodes and storing it in a memory,
wherein the voltage is induced by a current flowing in the human body, the current being generated by an electric potential
difference between spaced transmitting electrodes located inside the human body;
repeating the selecting and processing steps for at least an additional pair of receiving electrodes;
performing predetermined operations for values stored in the memory to select an optimum pair of receiving electrodes; and
performing image processing for a value corresponding to the optimum pair of receiving electrodes among the values stored
in the memory.
