Pointing Devices Pointing device: An input device that
moves an onscreen pointer (arrow or insertion point) to allow the user to select objects on the screen
Usually buttons on the device are used to select objects
Common types of pointing devices: Mouse Electronic pen Touch screen
9
The Mouse Mouse: A pointing
device the user slides along a flat surface to move a pointer around the screen and clicks its buttons to make selections Older mechanical
mice use a ball Newer optical or
laser mice track movements with light
Can be wireless
10
The Electronic Pen and Stylus Electronic pen: Device used to select objects, as
well as to draw or write electronically on the screen
Also called tablet pen, digital pen, stylus Commonly used with pen-based PCs
Used to issue commands and input data If handwriting recognition is used, written text
can be converted to editable typed text

Trackballs Control buttons
and wheels Touch pads
16
Scanners, Readers, and Digital Cameras
Source documents: Documents containing data that already exists in physical form (order form, photograph, invoice, check, or price label)
Source data automation: Capturing data directly from a source document Saves time Increases accuracy
17
Scanners Scanner (optical scanner): Input device
that reads printed text and graphics and transfers them to a computer in digital form Can scan photos, documents,
drawings, (flat objects) Data is typically input as a single
image If optical character recognition (OCR)
is used, text is input as editable, typed text
Types of scanners Flatbed Drum
― Handheld― 3D
18
Scanners Optical resolution: Quality of scanned
images Measured in number of dots per inch (dpi) Can often be specified when image is scanned Can be changed when scanned image is edited Varies with scanner used
Pixel: Smallest colorable area in an electronic image
19
Barcode Readers Barcode readers: Input devices that
read barcodes Barcode: Machine-readable code
that represents data as a set of bars Common types
Universal Product Code (UPC) ISBN Code 39 POSTNET code High-capacity color barcode
(HCCB)

Radio FrequencyIdentification Readers
Radio frequency identification (RFID): Technology used to store and transmit data located in RFID tags
RFID tag: Contains tiny chips and radio antennas Attached to objects for identification purposes Read by RFID readers Tags only need to be within range of the reader, rather
than in the line of sight Applications
Tracking inventory and assets Electronic tolls Electronic payments (Near Field Communication) Security
21
Radio FrequencyIdentification Readers
22
Optical Mark Readers (OMRs) Optical Mark Readers (OMRs): Input data
from special forms to score or tally exams, questionnaires, ballots
23
Optical Character Recognition Devices
Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Reads optical characters that are designed to be identifiable by humans as well as OCR devices Most machines today are designed to read
several standard OCR fonts Used to process turnaround documents like
monthly bills
24
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Readers
Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) readers: Read MICR characters Used primarily for banking MICR readers read the special magnetic
characters and sort/process checks
25
Biometric Readers Biometric data: Based on unique physiological
characteristics or personal trait Fingerprint Hand or face geometry Iris of the eye Voice or signature
Biometric readers: Used to input biometric data Can be stand-alone or built into another piece of
hardware (keyboard, mouse) Also being built into computers and storage devices to
allow access only by authorized individuals Most often used for access control and to verify
transactions
26
Biometric Readers
27
Digital Cameras Digital cameras: Record images on digital storage medium
rather than film Can either be still cameras or video cameras Typically use flash memory for storage Images can be edited, posted to a Web page, burned to a
CD or DVD disc, etc. Digital still cameras
Available in a wide variety of sizes and capabilities Photos can be transferred to a PC or printer Camera quality is measured in megapixels
Digital video cameras Digital camcorders PC video cameras (PC cams, Web cam)

Audio Input Audio input: The process of entering audio
data into the computer Voice (narrations, podcasts, etc.) Music (from CDs, MIDI keyboards, etc.)
Voice input systems (speech recognition systems) Enable a computer to recognize the human
voice Consist of a microphone or headset and
appropriate software Can be used to dictate text or commands into
a PC
