There are many hardware devices for input and output at the user interface between Breitling Replica Watches computer systems and end users. There is a major trend toward the increased use of a variety of direct input/output devices to provide a more natural user interface. More and more, data and instructions are entered into a computer system directly, through input devices such as keyboards, electronic mice, pens, touch screens, and optical scanners. These direct input output devices drastically reduce the need for paper source documents and their conversion machine-readable media.   Direct output of information through video displays of text at graphics and voice response devices is increasingly becoming the dominant form of output f  end users.

Computer Terminal Trends. The most common user interface method still involves keyboard for entry of data and a video display screen for output to users. Computer terminals < various types are widely used for such input and output. Technically, any input/output devic connected by telecommunications links to a computer is called a terminal. However, moi terminals use a keyboard for input and a TV-like screen for visual output, and are called vism (or video) display terminals (VDTs) or, more popularly, CRT (cathode ray tube) terminals They allow keyed-in data to be displayed and edited before entry into a computer system.

There is a trend away from dumb terminals, which have no processing capabilitie: themselves, toward intelligent terminals, which have their own microprocessors and memorj circuits. Many intelligent terminals are really microcomputers used as telecommunication! terminals to larger computers. Therefore, they can perform data entry and other information processing tasks independently. Another trend is the widespread use of transaction terminals in banks, retail stores, factories, and other work sites. Examples are automated teller machines (ATMs), factory transaction recorders, and retail point-of-sale (POS) terminals. These terminals use a variety of input/output methods to capture data from end users during a transaction and transmit it over telecommunications networks to a computer system for processing.

Keyboards are the most widely used devices for entering data and text into computer systems. However, pointing devices are a better alternative for issuing commands, making choices, and responding to prompts displayed on your video screen. For example, pointing devices such as electronic mice and trackballs allow you to easily choose Replica Omega Speedmaster from menu selections and icon displays using point-and-click or point-and-drag methods. Icons are small figures that look like familiar devices, such as a file folder (for accessing a file), a wastebasket (for deleting a file), a calculator (for switching to a calculator mode), and so on. Using icons helps simplify computer use since they are easier to use with pointing devices than menus and other text-based displays.

The electronic mouse is a device used to move the cursor on the screen, as well as to issue commands and make icon and menu selections. Some mice contain a roller ball, which moves the cursor in the direction the ball is rolled. Others use an optical sensing technology that recognizes points on a special pad. By moving the mouse on a desktop or pad, an end user can move the cursor onto an icon displayed on the screen. Pressing a button on the mouse begins the activity represented by the icon selected.

Voice recognition systems analyze and classify speech or vocal tract patterns and convert them into digital codes for entry into a computer system. Most voice recognition systems require "training" the computer to recognize a limited vocabulary of standard words for each user. Operators train the system to recognize their voices by repeating each word in the vocabulary about 10 times. Trained systems regularly achieve a 99 percent plus word recognition rate. Speaker-independent voice recognition systems, which allow a computer to understand a voice it has never heard before, are used in a limited number of applications.

Voice recognition devices are used in work situations where operators need to perform data entry without using their hands to key in data or instructions, or where it would Cartier Replica provide faster and more accurate input. For example, voice recognition systems are being used by manufacturers for the inspection, inventory, and quality control of a variety of products, and by airlines and parcel delivery companies for voice-directed sorting of baggage and parcels. Voice recognition is also available for some microcomputer software packages for voice input of data and commands. However, voice input is expected to become very popular for most word processing applications in the next few years.

Voice response devices range from mainframe audio-response units to voice-messaging minicomputers to speech synthesizer microprocessors. Speech microprocessors can be found in toys, calculators, appliances, automobiles, and a variety of other consumer, commercial, and industrial products. Voice-messaging minicomputer and mainframe audio response units use voice-response software to verbally guide an operator through the steps of a task in many kinds of activities. They may also allow computers to respond to verbal and touch-tone input over the telephone. Examples of applications include computerized telephone call switching, telemarketing surveys, bank pay-by-phone bill-paying services, stock quotations services, university registration systems, and customer credit and account balance inquiries.

Optical scanning devices read text or graphics and convert them into digital input for a computer. They include optical character recognition (OCR) equipment that can read special-purpose characters and codes. Optical scanning of pages of text and graphics is especially popular in desktop publishing applications. Thus, optical scanning provides a method of direct input of data from source documents into a computer system. Optical Scanning. There are many types of optical readers, but they all emplo photoelectric devices to scan the characters being read. Reflected light patterns of the data are converted into electronic impulses, which are then accepted as input into the computer system Devices can currently read many types of printing and graphics. Progress is continually being made in improving the reading ability of scanning equipment.

OCR-based optical scanning systems are used extensively in the credit card blink Tag Heuer Replica operations of credit card companies, banks, and oil companies. They are also used to process! Utility bills, insurance premiums, airline tickets, and cash register machine tapes. QCF scanners are used to automatically sort mail, score tests, and process a wide variety of forms ii business and government.

Optical scanning devices such as handheld wands are used to read data on merchandise tags and other media. This frequently involves reading bar coding, a code that utilizes bars to represent characters. Thus, Universal Product Code (UPC) bar coding on packages of food items and other products has become commonplace. For example, UPC bar coding is read by the automated checkout scanners found in many supermarkets. Supermarket scanners emit laser beams, which are reflected off a UPC bar code. The reflected image is converted to electronic impulses, which are sent to the in-store minicomputer, where they are matched with pricing information. Pricing information is returned to the terminal, visually displayed, and printed on a receipt.
