Input Hardware components used to enter data and instructions into a computer What are Input Devices? voice input video input keyboard scanners and reading devices pointing device digital camera
The Keyboard (text, numbers, instructions) • How is the keyboard organized? • Typing area • Numeric keypad • Function keys • Special keys
The insertion point, also known as the cursor, is a symbol on the screen that indicates where the next character you type will appear
What is awireless keyboard? • Communicates with a receiver attached to a port on the system unit • Radio waves or infrared waves are used to deliver signals
What is aportable keyboard? • A portable keyboard is a full-sized keyboard you attach to and remove from PDA
What is avirtualkeyboard? A virtual keyboard is a software and/or hardware component that allows a user to enter characters On-screen virtual keyboard
An ergonomic keyboard has a design that reduces the chance of wrist and hand injuries • Ergonomics incorporates comfort, efficiency, and safety into the design of the workplace
The Keyboard for mobile devices • Keyboards on mobile devices typically are smaller and/or have fewer keys • Some phones have predictive text input, which saves time when entering text using the phone’s keypad
Mouse • A mouse is a pointing device that fits under the palm of your hand comfortably. Can be wired or wireless
Double-click Right-click Right-drag • Common mouse operations Point Click Drag Rotate wheel
What is anoptical mouse? • No moving mechanical parts inside • Senses light to detect mouse’s movement • More precise than mechanical mouse • Connects using a cable, or wireless
What is atrackball? • Stationary pointing device with a ball on its top or side • To move pointer, rotate ball with thumb, fingers, or palm of your hand
Touchpadand apointing stick • Touchpadis small, flat, rectangular pointing device sensitive to motion • Pointing stickis pointing device shaped like pencil eraser positioned between keys on keyboard • sensitive to pressure
Touch-sensitive areas of screen • What is atouch screen? • Often used with kiosks
Handheld input device that can emits light • Press light pen against screen surface and then press button on pen • What is alight pen? It allows the user to point to displayed objects, or draw on the screen
Looks like a ballpoint pen, but uses pressure to write text and draw lines • Digital pen (text, numbers, graphics, instructions) • Used withtablet PCs
What is atouch-sensitive pad? • Input device on a portable media player that enables users to scroll through and play music, view pictures, watch videos or movies, adjust volume, and customize settings
Insertion point: blinking vertical bar that indicates where next character you type will display • Mouse pointer: pixel on the screen pointed by the mouse
Scanning and Reading Flatbed Pen or Handheld Sheet-fed Drum • What is ascanner? • Light-sensing device that reads printed text and graphics • Used for image processing, converting paper documents into electronic images
Step 1: Place the document to be scanned face down on the glass window. Using buttons on the scanner or the scanner program, start the scanning process. Step 2: The scanner converts the document content to digital information, which is transmitted through the cable to the memory of the computer. Step 3: Once in the memory of the computer, users can save it as a file, display the image, print it, e-mail it, include it in a document, or place it on a Web page. • How does aflatbed scannerwork?
Device that uses light source to read characters, marks, and codes and then converts them into digital data • What is anoptical reader? • Optical character recognition(OCR) reads characters in OCR font • Optical mark recognition(OMR) reads hand-drawn pencil marks, such as small circles
What is aturnaround document? • Document that you return to the company that sent it • Portion you return has information printed in OCR characters
What is adata collection device? • Obtains data directly at location where transaction or event takes place • Transmits data over network or Internet
Data collection • devices are used in: • Restaurants • Grocery stores • Factories • Warehouses • The outdoors
Identification code that consists of a set of vertical lines and spaces of different widths • UniversalProductCode(UPC) • What is abar code?
Uses laser beams to read bar codes • What is abar code reader?
What is amagnetic-ink character recognition (MICR) reader? • Can read text printed with magnetized ink • Banking industry uses MICR for check processing
Magnetic stripe card reader • reads the magnetic stripe • on the back of cards such as: • Warning: Exposure to a magnetic field can erase the contents of a card’s magnetic stripe
RFID • RFID (radio frequency identification) uses radio signals to communicate with a tag placed in or attached to an object • The tag can be smaller than a grain of sand. • They can be read (both the information on the tag and the location of the tag) at a distance by an RFID reader.
The tag can be implanted into a thing or being with or without persons knowledge. • RFID can track:
RFID • Reads information on the tag via radio waves • Can be handheld devices or mounted in a stationary object
Audio Input • is the process of entering any sound into the computer
How it functions? • Electric waves created by a microphone go to the sound card in the System Unit • Sound card converts them to digital form (analog to digital conversion – ADC) • In the digital form sounds live in the computer • After conversion from digital to analog they come to output devices – speakers
Voice Input and Voice Recognition • Voice inputis the process of entering input by speaking into a microphone • Voice recognitionis the computer’s capability of distinguishing spoken words
Music production device and software • allows users to record, compose, mix, and edit music and sounds
Images input • Process of entering pictures, figures, symbols into computer • Digital cameras, scanners allow us to input images
Digital Cameras • Allow the user • To take digital pictures • To download images to a computer • To post pictures to the Web • Images are viewable immediately on thecamera screen
