 SMART CARDS
 What are Input
Devices?
Input devices are hardware components
used to enter data into a computer.
Examples include keyboards, mice,
scanners, and various readers.
Bar Code Reader
Bar code readers scan bar codes
and convert them into digital
data. Commonly used in retail
stores and libraries.
A bar code is a unique
combination of vertical bars that
represents product information,
such as price and place of
manufacturer.
The computer uses the bar code
to identify the product.
 Did you know ?

QR codes are a new style of bar codes in

square shape that can store enormous data.
Smartphones are able to scan and read QR
codes.
MAGNETIC INK
CHARACTER READER
MICR reads text printed with
magnetic ink.(MICR)
Mostly used by
banks to read cheques securely
and quickly. This technique is
called magnetic ink character
recognition.
Magnetic ink is a special type of
ink that contains magnetic
particles of iron oxide. They are
difficult to forge.
OPTICAL CHARACTER READER (OCR)
OCR devices scan printed
text and convert it into a
machine-readable format.
Useful for digitizing books
and documents. This
technique is called optical
character recognition.
OPTICAL MARK READER (OMR)
An optical mark reader is a device which is
capable of reading printed forms used in
objective type exams, with boxes or circles
that can be filled with a dark pencil or ink.

When a light beam passes through such a

form, the marked areas reflect less light
than the unmarked ones. This way the
optical mark reader recognizes the boxes or
circles that are filled.

This technology is called optical mark

recognition (OMR). It is commonly used for
checking answer sheets of exams that have
multiple choice questions .
CARD READER
Card readers read data from
plastic cards such as ATM cards or
ID cards. Can be magnetic or chip-
based.
Card readers are used for reading
information stored on cards such
as magnetic strip cards and smart
cards.
SMART
CARDS
Smart cards look like magnetic strip cards
but contains a small chip instead of a
magnetic strips.

A smart card reader can read and write data

on the card.

Smart cards contain embedded chips that

store data and perform secure transactions.
Used in banking, transport, and healthcare.
 ACTIVITY

“What do all these devices have in common?”
HARDWARE – OUTPUT
Output devices convey
DEVICES information from the
computer to the user.
We will discuss output
devices such as LCD
projectors, Braille
printers and plotters
here.
Liquid Crystal Display
ProjectorA Liquid Crystal Display Projector shows
the output from a computer on a large
screen. It is commonly used for displaying
presentations during meetings and
conferences.
🛠️Uses:
Shows presentations or videos to a large
audience.
Used in schools, offices, and home theaters.

🌍 Applications:
Classrooms – For teaching with visuals and
videos.
Business meetings – To show slideshows and
reports.
Cinemas/Home theaters – To project movies.
Events – For displaying live feeds or
BRAILLE PRINTER
A Braille printer or embosser produces
Braille printouts (patterns of raised
dots) of computer files, which can be
read by visually impaired people. It
works with software that translates
text to Braille.
BRAILLE PRINTER
A Braille printer prints text as raised dots (Braille),
which blind or visually impaired people can read using
their fingers.
Uses:
Helps visually impaired people read books, labels, or
signs.
Converts normal text into Braille.
🌍 Applications:
Special schools – For printing textbooks in Braille.
Libraries – To provide books for the visually impaired.
Public places – For printing Braille signs (like elevator
buttons).
Offices for the blind – For making Braille reports or
documents.
 A plotter is a printing device that is used for
PLOTTER creating high-quality graphics, chart, graphs,
tables, and diagrams. Plotter uses ink pens or ink
jets to create graphics on paper or polyester film.

They are commonly used in computer-aided

design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) for printing plans for houses, car parts,
and machinery. Plotters are of 4 types – Drum
plotters, micrographic plotters, inkjet plotters,
and flatbed plotters.
Uses:
Creates large, high-quality drawings or technical
designs.
Uses pens to draw precise lines and curves on paper.

Applications:
Engineering – For printing building plans or circuit
diagrams.
Architecture – For blueprints and floor plans.
Fashion design – For cutting patterns.
Maps and Charts – For geographical or weather
maps.

 COMPUTER
 A Computer language is a system of
LANGUAGES
commands used to develop programs for
computers.
 A computer program is a set of
instructions for the computer.
 There are many languages can be used to
create programs to instruct a computer
system.
 While writing a program in a particular
computer language, the symbols of the
language must be used as per a set of
rules known as the syntax of the
language.

LANGUAGES
The only language a computer understands directly. It is
made up of 0s and 1s (binary numbers).
🔹 Also called First Generation Language (1GL)
🔹 The only language the computer directly understands
🔹 Written in binary code – 0s and 1s
🔹 Very fast but hard for humans to write or understand
🔹 Different for every computer model

✅ Example:

 ASSEMBLY
A language thatLANGUAGES
uses symbols and codes called mnemonics to represent
machine instructions. It needs a special program called an assembler to
convert it into machine language.

🔹 Also called Second Generation Language (2GL)

🔹 Uses short words or codes called mnemonics
🔹 Easier than machine language(binary) but still complex
🔹 Needs a program called an assembler to convert it into machine code
🔹 Still hardware-specific, Faster than high-level languages

✅ Example:
MOV A, 05h
ADD A, 02h
 HIGH-LEVEL
LANGUAGES
• A language that is closer to human languages. It uses simple English-like words and symbols.
It needs to be translated into machine code using a compiler or interpreter.
• Also called Third Generation Language (3GL), Uses English-like words and symbols and easy
to learn and write.
 Works on different types of computers.
Needs a compiler or interpreter to translate into machine code
Same program can work on many computers

✅ Examples: Java, C, C++, C#, Python, Visual Basic, Perl, Ruby etc.,

PYTHON:

JAVA
System.out.println("Hello, world!");

C++
cout << "Hello, world!";
