� We are actually using GUI(Graphical User Interface),which

provides a screen with graphic icons or menus allows a user to

make rapid selections.

� GUI requires an input device that can be used to point to and

select a an icon.

�  A pointing device is any human interface device that allows a

user to input spatial data to a computer .

Types of pointing devices :

Mouse Trackball

Touchpad Joystick

Touchscreen

�  A mouse is an input device which allows

the user to control a cursor to

manipulate data without complicated

commands.

� It was invented by Douglas Englebart in1963.

� It was originally referred to as an X-Y 

Position Indicator for a Display System.

� The mouse's motion typically translates

into the motion of a cursor on a display,

 which allows for fine control of a

graphical user interface.

� Mechanical: It has a rubber or metal ball on its underside andit can roll in every direction. There are sensors within the mouse,detect the direction ball and moves the pointer on the screen inthe same direction.

� Optomechanical: This is the same as the mechanical mouse

except that it uses optical sensors to the motion of the ball. Mousepad is necessary.

� Optical: This type uses a laser for detecting the mouse'smovement. The optical mouse responds more quickly andprecisely than the mechanical and optomechanical mice.

 An optical mouse uses a light-emitting diode and photodiodes todetect movement relative to the underlying surface, rather thaninternal moving parts as does a mechanical mouse.

�  3D Mouse:

� The 3D Ring Mouse wireless mouse was worn on a ring around afinger, which enabled the thumb to access three buttons. Themouse was tracked in three dimensions by a base station .

 A recent 3D pointing device is the Wii Remote. it can determineits orientation and direction of movement, can also detect itsspatial position by comparing the distance and position of the

lights from the IR emitter using its integrated IR camera .

� Tactil e Mouse:

� The "tactile mouse", contained a small actuator that made themouse vibrate. Such a mouse can augment user-interfaces, suchas giving feedback when crossing a window boundary. To surf by touch requires the user to be able to feel depth or hardness;this ability was realized with the tactile mice

� Iner 

tial  and 

Gyrosc

opic

Mouse:Called "air mice" since they do not require a surface tooperate, inertial mouse use a tuning fork or otheraccelerometer to detect rotary movement for every axissupported . The user requires only small wrist rotations tomove the cursor . They have a switch to deactivate themovement circuitry between use.

Such mice consume less power than optically based mice,and offer increased sensitivity, reduced weight andincreased ease-of-use .

� C or d l ess or W irel ess:

 A wireless mouse made for notebook computersCordless or wireless mice transmit data via infrared radiationor radio (including Bluetooth). The receiver is connected tothe computer through a serial or USB port.

� A ball inside the mouse touches the desktop and rolls when the mousemoves.

� Two rollers inside the mouse touch the ball. One is oriented to detectmotion in X direction, and the other is oriented 90 degrees to the first todetect motion in Y direction. When the ball rotates, these rollers rotate aswell.

� The rollers are connected to a shaft, and the shaft spins a disk with holesin it. When a roller rolls, its shaft and disk spin.

On either side of the disk there is an infrared LED and an infraredsensor. The holes in the disk break the beam of light coming from theLED so that the infrared sensor sees pulses of light.

� An on-board processor chip reads the pulses from the infrared sensorsand turns them into binary data that the computer can understand. Thechip sends the binary data to the computer through the mouse's cord.

�  Also known as a glide-point ortrack-pad, a touchpad is an inputdevice found on the portablecomputers that allows you to movethe mouse cursor.

�  A touchpad is operated by usingyour finger and dragging it acrossa flat surface; as you move yourfinger on the surface, the mousecursor will move in that samedirection, and

� Like most computer mice, thetouchpad also has two buttonsbelow the touch surface thatenables you to click like a standardmouse.

� Trackball is a pointing devicesimilar to a roller-ball mouse.

� The onscreen pointer is movedby the trackball with a thumb orfinger.

To move the graphics cursor onthe screen the ball is rolled withhand.

�  A trackball requires less space,less arm and wrist motion that aregular mouse takes.

� Trackball is a device of choice inCAD/CAM.

� They demand high quality of input

documents because of direct data entry

from source documents. Documents thatare typed poorly , have strikeovers, or have

erasures are normally rejected.

� Form design and ink specification usually

becomes more critical with the use of these

devices than when keyboard devices are

used to key in data from forms.

HAND-HELD SCANNER:-

 A hand- held scanner has a set of 

light emitting diodes encased in a

small case that can be held in hand

conveniently. To scan a document ,

the scanner is dragged slowly over it

from its one end to the other end with

its light on. The scanner has to be

dragged very steadily and carefully.

Hand-held scanners are used only in

cases where high accuracy is notneeded. They are also used when the

 volume of documents to be scanned

is low. They are much cheaper than

flatbed scanners.

� It is a type of scanning device which isequipped with character recognitionsoftware that converts the bitmap images of characters to equivalent ASCII codes.

� The scanner first creates the bitmap image of 

the document and then the OCR softwaretranslates the array of grid points into ASCIItext that the computer can interpret asletters, numbers, and special characters.

� These software are designed to recognizetexts written using standard type fonts calledOCR fonts. Two such fonts standard fonts are

OCR-A (American standard) and OCR-B(European standard)

� If the document contains italics or bold faceletters, or fonts other than that for which theOCR software has been designed , the OCRsoftware will not work effectively.

� The actual technique used by anOMR 

device for recognition of marks involves

focusing a light on the page beingscanned and detecting the reflected

light pattern from the marks.

� Pencil marks made with a soft lead

pencil (high graphite content) reflect the

light enabling the reader to determine

which responses are marked.

�  A special ink containing particles of iron oxide(that can be magnetized) is used for pre-

printing the characters on the cheque.� The MICR reader-sorter reads the pre-printed

data on the cheques, and sorts the cheques fordistribution to other banks or for furtherprocessing.

� The most commonly used character set byMICR devices is known as E13B font consistingof numerals 0 to 9 and four special characters.

� MICR technology speeds up data input . Thistechnology also ensures accuracy of dataentry.

Speech recognition devices are inputdevices that allow a person to input datato a computer by speaking to it. Hence,they make computers much easier touse. However, as a data input device,currently speech recognition systems

have limited success.

The major difficulties are that peoplespeak with different accents andintonations, and the fact that themeaning of words can vary dependingon the context in which they are used.

Hence, this technique is having littleaccess in the present scenario andhence is used within a relatively smalldomain.

In its infant stage too, speechrecognition systems are already usedfor a wide range of applications.Some on the may be enlisted as:

� For data input to a computer whenhis/her hands are busy. For example,doctors in an operation room canrequest information about a patient

 while operating.

� For limited use of computers by

individuals with physical disabilities.� For data input by dictation of long

text or passage for later editing.

� For authentication of a user by acomputer system based on speechinput.

 A vision input system allows acomputer to accept input by seeingan object. Input data in this case isnormally an object·s shape andfeatures in the form of an image. A computer with a vision-input deviceconsists of a digital camera.

 Vision-input devices are used mainlyin factories for designing industrialrobots used for quality control andassembly processes.

For example: a robot may be used toinspect the shapes of objects andseparate objects of different shapesin different bins.

 A computer with a vision-input device consists of adigital camera. Following steps are taken torecognize a given object:

1. The computer is focused on the input object totake its picture.

2. The camera creates an image of the object in thedigital form so that it can be stored andinterpreted by the computer.

3. The digitized image of the object is matchedagainst similarly formed pre-stored images in thecomputer·s image database.

4. Depending on whether a match is found or not,the system takes appropriate action.
