Mr. Abdul Wajid
The data or instructions you type into the computer are called input
Input devices used to get data into a system.
Get data into a system as accurately, least amount of time.
It’s a cheap device.
Keyboard Mouse Tracker ball Touch sensitive pad Joystick Light pen Touch screen Graphics tablets Magnetic Strip Reader Bar Code reader Digital cameras Web Cameras
OCR MICR OMR Punched Card Kimball tag Voice recognition Microphone EPOS EFTPOS Video digitiser Scanner Touch Phone Telephone
Keyboard is the oldest and most familiar of all input devices
Keyboard are intelligent devices and contain their own chips.
The microprocessor scans the keyboard hundreds of second to see if a key has been pressed .
The CPU translate that key and convert into ASCII code.
A standard keyboard called QWERTY keyboard.
New keyboards, called concept keyboards, have been developed for ergonomics
The goal of this keyboard is to provide comfort and safety.
The user who spends a lot of time in typing may experience repetitive injuries of wrist and hand.
Higher typing speeds can be achieved.
That requires no wires It is also called wireless keyboards. It transmits data using wireless
technology like radio waves or light waves
These keyboards make it easy for blind users to input data into a computer
There are also keyboards with large coloured keys that are easier to see.
Each key is about one inch square.
Most computers come with a keyboard supplied
People are used to using keyboards to enter data, they need very little training
A skilled typist can enter data very quickly
Specialist keyboards are available e.g. ergonomic, gaming keyboards
It is easy to make mistakes when typing in data
If you can't touch type, it can be time consuming to enter data
Keyboards are not suitable for creating diagrams
Disabled people often find keyboards difficult to use
Excessive use can lead to R.S.I.
That translate its movement on the desktop into digital information.
Moving the mouse produces movement of cursor or the pointer on the screen.
The mouse is also provided with buttons to press.
Movement of ball bearing is used to produce electrical signal.
Small lights under the mouse are reflected on the photoelectric cells.
To select options from a menu or form a set of icons
To position the cursor when editing text or using a design package.
To draw shapes. It selects a position on the screen
more quickly than is possible with a keyboard.
Is similar to tracker ball. Is a device which enables the user to
control movement on the screen by a small lever.
The lever can be moved in any direction. Some joysticks give more control on the
screen.Uses Controlling objects in computer games Producing graphics Scanners in hospitals
Is a pen shaped device, held in the hand which can detect the presence or absence of light
It is connected by the cable to a recording device or to a computer or computer terminal.
Electrical signals are sent along the cable indicating whether or not light of sufficient intensity is being sensed.
To detect bar codes To indicate a point on the screen It removes the need to type or write. It is faster than typing.Disadvantage:It can only record the presence or
absence of light.It only works with software written for
it.
Is also known as digitizing or digitizing pad.
The digitize data means to convert it from analog form to digital.
A design is put on the board and its shape is traced out with the stylus.
Electrical signals sent to the computer record the position of the stylus.
Encoding the picture into binary form
It can be used to digitize drawings with great accuracy.
Reproducing drawings and designs Producing layouts of printed circuit
boards. Digitizer Maps.
Is a small, flat surface over which the user moves his finger.
The movement of the finger moves the cursor on the screen.
A touch pad also has one or more buttons near it .
These buttons like mouse buttons. Touch pads are commonly used with
notebook computers
Is a video display screen that receives input from the touch of finger
Examples ATM Petrol Pumps
Is a short length of magnetic tape stuck on the surface of a tag, card or document.
On plastic tags or cards the strip is sealed in.
Tags with stripes identify the item they are attached to.
Examples: On credit card On bank cards A phone Card Cash issue Terminals
It is simple to produce. It is not easily damaged. It stores a large no of characters.Disadvantages The data can be changed or erased
by magnetic field.
Is set of parallel printed lines of differing thickness, which represent a number.
The number represented by the bars is also printed above or below the bar code.
When bar code are used on shop goods, the number coded identifies the product and have following information
1. Country of region 2. Manufacturer 3. An item number for the product.Examples: Used in Barcodes Library System Warehouse stock
Printed easily The type of item or its price does not
have to be repeatedly written down or typed.
Disadvantages: bar codes cannot be changed and
thus there are unsuitable prices. Bar codes only be read by machine. Only numbers can be coded in this
way.
Is a technology that reads typewritten , computer printed or handwritten documents.
It translate the image into a form that can be recognized by computer.
OCR devices read printed characters using OCR font.
An OCR device determines the shapes of characters by detecting patterns of light and dark.
In department stores To scan financial documents such as
company
It is also called mark sensing device. It uses light to scan input data to convert it
into electrical/digital signal. The signals are then sent to the computer
for further processing. Examples Voting ballot Multiple choice answer sheet marking Enrollment forms
In OMR there is typing involve so errors and takes time is less
Reduces the cost of inputting large amount of data
The method is useful when results of the test are needed very quickly
Disadvantages Readers are very expansive Only certain fonts are acceptable. There is high rejection rate
Characters are printed using an ink containing iron oxide.
As the document passes into the reader the ink is magnetized, so that the character shapes can then be recognized electrically.
It is used by banks industry for check processing.
Each check contains MICR characters at the lower left edge.
These characters represent check number ,bank number and account number
Branch codeCheque number
Account number
Documents can still be read when folded, written on
Disadvantages Readers are very expansive Only certain fonts are acceptable.
Contains holes in different positions which mean something when they are read by a reader.
Punched cards were the main method of entering data into computers.
Example: The clock card which is used to record the
hours a person works so that wages can be calculated.
Kimball tags are the small cards with holes punched in them that you see attached to clothing in certain shops.
When you buy the goods, one of the tags is removed and sent for processing to a computer centre.
Stock is reordered without any writing or typing the data.
Disadvantages: They are small and are easily mislaid.
Using a microphone human speech is coded into a sequence of electrical signals.
The computer searches a set of stored patterns for the sound which has been input
It is now popular for inputting data into word processing or database packages.
Useful for handicapped people with limited movement
No typing or data preparation is necessary.
Disadvantage: Few words can be recognized and the
error rate is high. Not suitable in noisy places.
Is used for input device for a speech recognition system.
The voice pattern of user is then converted into instructions to the operating system or application software or text.
Uses as voice mail messages
Are the cash registers which act as the terminals to a main computer system
Providing customers with item used in bills.
