Non Automatic Input Devices
(Data Entry Methods)

Human intervention is essential

required to input data into the
computer system

3
 Keyboard

 An input device containing keys, arranged in a

typewriter configuration, used to input letters,
numbers, and other symbols
Can be wired or wireless
 Contains
Standard alphanumeric keys
Numeric keypad
Function keys
Directional keys and special keys 4
Keyboard

5
 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 mouse use a ball
 Newer optical or laser mouse track movements
with light
 Can be wireless

Light Pen

13
Light Pen
 Thelight pen is a special attachment to a
graphics terminal.
 The pen is touched on the video display
screen at the desired location and switched
on, then you can draw the image on the
screen.

14
Touch Screen

15
Touch Screen
 Limited amounts of data can be entered via a
terminal or a microcomputer that has a touch
screen. The user simply touches the screen at
the desired locations, marked by labeled
boxes, to point out” choices to the computer.
E.g. ATM

16
Stylus

17
Automatic Input Devices
(Data Capture Methods)

The device reads data

automatically and human
interaction is minimum

18
Optical Scanners

A Digital Scanner translates

images such as pictures or
documents into digital form.

19
Optical Scanners
 Hand Held Scanners

Pen or Handheld
Optical Scanners
Hand Held Scanners
Used mostly with small scale
publishing (Desk Top Publishing)
systems to input pictures, logos etc.

21
Optical Scanners
 Flat Bed Scanner

Flatbed
22
Optical Scanners

 Flat Bed Scanners

Used to input text based documents
with or without images. Special
software packages are now available
to process these text based images
such as editing, merging etc.
23
Optical Scanners

Sheet-fed
Drum

24
Bar Code Reader
 Identification code that consists of a set of
vertical lines and spaces of different width

25
Bar code Reader
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)

27
 Optical Mark Recognition
(OMR)
 The input device is Optical Mark Reader.
 Insome of examinations, the candidate
application forms as well as the answer
sheets are specially designed (Mark Sense
Cards) to record data by using pencil
marks.

28
 Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
 Readsoptical characters that are designed to
be identifiable by humans as well as OCR
devices

29
 Optical Character Recognition
(OCR)

 Optical character recognition is a

method that is used to scan the text,
which is found on a document, and then
the data is converted into electrical
signals for the computer.
30
Magnetic-ink character recognition

31
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

32

32
Magnetic-ink character recognition

 Whatis a magnetic-ink character recognition

(MICR) reader?
Can read text printed with magnetized
ink
Banking industry almost exclusively
uses MICR for check processing

Image capturing

34
Voice And Image

 Microphone
 Carbon microphones
 Dynamic microphones
 Condenser microphones
 Crystal microphones

Microphone
35
Radio Frequency
Identification 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 36

Radio Frequency
Identification Readers

37

37
Biometric Readers
 Biometric data: Based on unique
physiological characteristics or
personal trait
 Fingerprint
 Hand or face geometry
 Iris of the eye
 Voice or signature

38
 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

39
Bio Metric Input
 Authenticates person’s identity by verifying personal characteristic

 Fingerprint scanner captures curves and indentations of fingerprint

 Hand geometry system measures shape and size of person’s hand 40
 Bio Metric Input
 Iris
recognition system reads patterns in blood vessels in
back of eye

41

Card Readers

 There are two types of card readers:

magnetic strip cards, and optical cards
E.g.
 Time/Punch Card
 ATM
