 Input Devices
•Used by a person to communicate to a
computer.
Person to
computer

4
 Output Devices
•Displays information from the computer to a
person.

5
Input Devices
• Keyboard.
• Mouse
• Microphone
• Digital Camera
• Scanner

6
The Keyboard
The most commonly used input device is the
keyboard on which data is entered by manually
keying in or typing certain keys. A keyboard
typically has 101 or 105 keys.

7
 Keyboard

• The keyboard allows the computer user to

enter words, numbers, punctuation,
symbols, and special function commands
into the computer’s memory. 8
The Mouse
Is a pointing device which is used to control the
movement of a mouse pointer on the screen to
make selections from the screen. A mouse has
one to five buttons. The bottom of the mouse is flat
and contains a mechanism that detects movement
of the mouse.

Pointing devices - direct

• Touch screens

12
Touch screens

• Often used for applications with occasional

use, for example
• Bank ATMs, Information Kiosks, etc.
• No extra hardware - used for input and for
output
• Can be precise to 1 pixel
• Good for menu choice - not so good for
other functions
• Easy to use
13
Indirect Pointing Devices
• Need more cognitive processing than direct
methods, but can be more efficient

• mouse
• tracker ball
• track point
• touchpad…

14
Indirect pointing
devices - other
• Tracker ball,
trackpad, trackpoint
• Less space on
desktop
• Good in moving
environments, e.g.
car, train

15
Indirect pointing devices - other

• Joystick
• The main use of a joystick is to
play computer games by
controlling the way that
something moves on the
screen.

16
Microphones - Speech Recognition
• Use a microphone to talk to your
computer
• Add a sound card to your computer
• Sound card digitizes audio
input into 0/1s
• A speech recognition program can
process the input and convert it into
machine-recognized commands or
input 17
 Audio Input: Speech Recognition
• Speech recognition is a
type of input in which the
computer recognizes words
spoken into a microphone.
• Special software and a
microphone are required.
• Latest technology uses
continuous speech
recognition where the user
does not have to pause
between words.

18
Digital camera
A digital camera can store many more
pictures than an ordinary camera. Pictures
taken using a digital camera are stored inside
its memory and can be transferred to a
computer by connecting the camera to it. A
digital camera takes pictures by converting the
light passing through the lens at the front into a
digital image.

19
Scanner
A scanner can be used to input pictures and
text into a computer. There are two main types
of scanner; Hand-held and Flat-bed.

20
Light pen
• A light pen is a small ‘pen-shaped’ wand,
which contains light sensors.
• It is used to choose objects or commands on
the screen either by pressing it against the
surface of the screen or by pressing a small
switch on its side.
• A signal is sent to the computer, which then
works out the light pen’s exact location on the
screen.
• The advantage of a light pen is that it doesn’t
need a special screen or screen coating.
21
 Bar codes

• A bar code is a set of lines of different thicknesses

that represent a number

• Bar Code Readers are used to input data from bar

codes. Most products in shops have bar codes on
them

• Bar code readers work by shining a beam of light

on the lines that make up the bar code and
detecting the amount of light that is reflected back22
Output Devices
• Monitors
• Printers
• Speakers
• Data Projectors

24
Monitors

CRT LCD

• A monitor is a peripheral device which displays

computer output on a screen.
• Screen output is referred to as soft copy.
• Types of monitors:
– Cathode-ray tube (CRT)
– Liquid Crystal Display (LCD or flat-panel)

25
Printers

• Ink Jet Printer

– least expensive, color, slower with a higher per page
cost than laser printers
• Laser Printer
– More expensive, faster, lower per page cost than ink
jet,

26
 Printers
• A printer is a
peripheral device
that produces a
physical copy or
hard copy of the
computer’s output.

27
 Types of Printers
Inkjet Laser

• Inkjet printer, also called • Laser printer works like

a bubble-jet, makes a copier
characters by inserting • Quality determined by
dots of ink onto paper dots per inch (dpi)
• Letter-quality printouts produced
• Cost of printer is • Color printers available
inexpensive but ink is • Expensive initial costs but
costly cheaper to operate per
page 28
 Plotter

• A plotter is a printer that uses a pen that

moves over a large revolving sheet of
paper.
• It is used in engineering, drafting, map
making, and seismology. 29
 Audio Output: Sound Cards and
Speakers

• Audio output is the ability of the computer

to output sound.
• Two components are needed:
– Sound card – Plays contents of digitized
recordings
– Speakers – Attach to sound card
