Input Devices

Meaning/Function:
In computing, an input device is any peripheral (piece of computer
hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to
an information processing system such as a computer or other information
appliance. Examples of input devices
include keyboards, mouse, scanners, digital cameras and joysticks.

1.Input Devices For Text
The input of text into a computer system is one of the most common and important
channels for humans to interact with a system. This essay provides a brief overview
of text input devices. However, literallyevery input device could be used for this task,
even one button would be sufficient, when it is used as a Morse key.

a.Keyboard
In computing, a keyboard is a typewriter-style device, which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic
switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction
via teleprinter-style keyboards became the main input
device for computers.

b. Bar Code Reader
A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an electronic device for
reading printed barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light
source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical
ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry
analyzing the barcode's image data provided by the sensor and sending
the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.



2.Input Devices For Grafhic
The graphic input devices subsystem includes the keyboard/sound,
mouse, tablet, dials, and lighted programmable-function keys (LPFK)
devices. These devices provide operator input primarily to graphic
applications

a.Scanner
In computing, an image scanneroften abbreviated to just scanner,
although the term is ambiguous out of context (barcode scanner, CAT
scanner, etc.)is a device that optically scans images, printed
text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image

b.Camera Digital
A digital camera (or digicam) is a camera that encodes digital
images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction.
[1]
Most
cameras sold today are digital,
[2]
and digital cameras are incorporated into
many devices ranging fromPDAs and mobile phones (called camera
phones) to vehicles.

3.Input Devices for Audio
Audio input devices allow a user to send audio signals to a computer for
processing, recording, or carrying out commands. Devices such as
microphones allow users to speak to the computer in order to record a
voice message or navigate software. Others are made to interface a
computer with a CD audio source, digital audio, or MIDI instrument such as
a synthesizer.

a.Microphone

b.Midi Keyboard
MIDI keyboard is typically a piano-style user interface keyboard device
used for sending MIDI signals or commands over a USB or MIDI cable to
other devices connected and operating on the same MIDI protocol interface

4.Input Devices for Video

a.Video Camera
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion picture acquisition,
initially developed by the television industry but now common in other
applications as well.

b.Web Camera
A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to
or through a computer or computer network. When "captured" by the
computer,

5.Pointing Devices
A pointing device is an input interface (specifically a human interface
device) that allows a user to input spatial (i.e., continuous and multi-
dimensional) data to a computer

a.Mouse
In computing, a mouse is an pointing device that detects two-
dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated
into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows for fine control of
a graphical user interface.

b.Touch Screen
A touchscreen is an electronic visual display that the user can control
through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a
special stylus/pen and-or one or more fingers.

Output Devices
Meaning/Function:
An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to
communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information
processing system (such as a computer) which converts the electronically
generated information into human-readable form.


1.Monitor
A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers. The
monitor comprises the display device,circuitry and an enclosure.

2.Printer
In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a representation of an
electronic document on physical media. Individual printers are designed to
support local and network users at the same time. Some printers can print
documents stored onmemory cards or from digital cameras and scanners.

3.Speaker
Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external to a
computer, that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker.

Storage Devices

Meaning/Function:
A data storage device is a device
for recording (storing) information (data). Recording can be done using
virtually any form ofenergy, spanning from manual muscle power
in handwriting, to acoustic vibrations in phonographic recording, to
electromagnetic energy modulating magnetic tape and optical discs.

1.Primary Storage
A computer's internal hard drive is often considered a primary
storage device.
a.RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)
Random Access Memories is the fourth studio album by
French electronic music duo Daft Punk. It was released by the duo's imprint
Daft Life, under exclusive license to Columbia Records, on 17 May 2013.

b.ROM (Read Only Memori)
Read-only memory (ROM) is a class of storage medium used
in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM can only be
modified slowly or with difficulty, so it is mainly used to
distribute firmware (software that is very closely tied to specific hardware,
and unlikely to need frequent updates).


2.Secondary Storage
Auxiliary memory, also known as auxiliary storage, secondary
storage, secondary memory or external memory, is used to store a
large amount of data at lesser cost per byte than primary memory. They
are two orders of magnitude less expensive than primary storage. In
addition,
a.Magnetic Medium
Magnetic storage (or magnetic recording) is the storage of data on
a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns
of magnetization in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form
of non-volatile memory. The information is accessed using one or
more read/write heads.

11

b.Optical Medium
An optical medium is material through which electromagnetic
waves propagate. It is a form of transmission medium.
The permittivity and permeability of the medium define how
electromagnetic waves propagate in it.


c.Flash Memory
Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer storage medium that
can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
Introduced by Toshiba in 1984, flash memory was developed
from EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory).
There are two main types of flash memory, which are named after
the NAND and NOR logic gates. The internal characteristics of the
12
individual flash memory cells exhibit characteristics similar to those of the
corresponding gates
