INTERFACES IN COMPUTER AND USB IN DETAIL

IN COMPUTING, AN INTERFACE IS A SHARED BOUNDARY ACROSS WHICH TWO SEPARATE COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM EXCHANGE INFORMATION. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERFACES, CATEGORIZED BASED ON THEIR PURPOSE AND WHERE THEY ARE USED. HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE MAIN TYPES: 1. USER INTERFACES (UI) THESE ALLOW HUMANS TO INTERACT WITH COMPUTERS. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI): USES WINDOWS, ICONS, MENUS, AND POINTERS (E.G., WINDOWS, MACOS, GNOME). COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE (CLI): USERS TYPE COMMANDS INTO A CONSOLE OR TERMINAL (E.G., LINUX TERMINAL, COMMAND PROMPT). TOUCH USER INTERFACE: USES TOUCHSCREENS (E.G., SMARTPHONES, TABLETS). VOICE USER INTERFACE (VUI): INTERACTS VIA SPOKEN COMMANDS (E.G., SIRI, ALEXA). NATURAL USER INTERFACE (NUI): USES GESTURES, GAZE, OR BIOMETRICS (E.G., KINECT, EYE-TRACKING). 2. HARDWARE INTERFACES ENABLE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PHYSICAL DEVICES. PERIPHERAL INTERFACES: CON...

DIVISION OF OPERATING SYSTEM

 

OPERATING SYSTEMS DIVISIONAL FACTS

 

 


AN OPERATING SYSTEM IS A SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT ACTS AS AN INTERFACE BETWEEN THE USER AND THE HARDWARE OF THE COMPUTER.  IT ALSO MANAGES THE COMPONENTS OF THE MACHINE SUCH AS PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT, DISK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, INPUT OUTPUT FILES, DEVICES ETC.

 

SOME OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU.  SO LETS GET STARTED

USER INTERFACE :  THE USER INTERFACE ALLOW THE USER TO INTERACT WITH THE MACHINE.  THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF USER INTERFACE GIVEN BY THE USER INTERFACE DEVELOPERS.  THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS

1.      CHARACTER LINE USER INTERFACE SUCH AS LINUX REDHAT

2.      GRAPHICAL LINE USER INTERFACE SUCH AS WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM

IN CHARACTER LINE USER INTERFACE THE USER HAVE TO INTERACT WITH THE COMPUTER BY GIVING COMMANDS THAT’S WHY IT IS ALSO CALLED AS COMMAND LINE INTERFACE.

IN GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE THIS CONTROL IS GIVEN TO THE USER WHERE THE USER WITH MOUSE OR KEYBOARD WILL CONTROL THE COMMAND OR AN OBJECT KEPT ON THE DESKTOP OF THE COMPUTER.  FOR EXAMPLE USING A MOUSE, KEYBOARD, DROP DOWN MENU, SCROLLING CONTENT AREAS ETC.

 

MEMORY MANAGEMENT  : THE OPERATING SYSTEM DOES MEMORY MANAGEMENT BY ALLOCATING AND DEALLOCATING MEMORIES FOR PARTICULAR JOB OR PROGRAM.  HERE ALLOCATION STARTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM AND DEALLOCATION START AT THE TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM.

 

PROCESS MANAGEMENT  : THE PROCESS MANAGEMENT  FUNCTION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM DOES ALLOCATE AND DEALLOCATE THE MEMORY, PROCESSOR, SYSTEM RESOURCES SUCH AS DISC RESOURCES, SYSTEM CLOCKS ETC.   WHEN THE JOB IS TERMINATED THE OPERATING SYSTEM RELEASES THE CONTROL OF SYSTEM RESOURCES.

 

DEVICE MANAGEMENT : OPERATING SYSTEM INTITIATES THE DEVICES SENDS OR RECIEVES THE DATA FROM THE DEVICES AND CONTROLS THE OPERATION OF THE DEVICES SUCH PRINTING, SCANNING ETC.

 

FILE MANAGEMENT :  THE FILE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM REFERS TO MANAGING THE FILE SYSTEM MEANS WHERE IT WILL BE STORED, THEIR STATUS AND MEMORY LOCATION. IT ALSO DEALS WITH OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FILES AND PROVIDING ACCESS PERMISSION TO THE FILE SYSTEM.  FURTHER , THE OPERATING SYSTEM DETERMINES HOWTO NAME THE FILES.

CONTROLLER CHIPS AND BUS ARCHITECTURES IN PERSONAL COMPUTER

  CONTROLLER CHIPS AND BUS ARCHITECTURES IN COMPUTER CONTROLLER CHIPS IN A COMPUTER REFER TO INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS) OR CHIPS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING AND CONTROLLING SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OR COMPONENTS WITHIN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THESE CHIPS PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ENSURING THAT VARIOUS HARDWARE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER SEAMLESSLY. HERE ARE SOME COMMON TYPES OF CONTROLLER CHIPS FOUND IN COMPUTERS: 1.       PERIPHERAL CONTROLLER CHIPS: THESE CHIPS MANAGE THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER'S CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVES, USB DEVICES, PRINTERS, AND MORE. FOR EXAMPLE, A SATA CONTROLLER CHIP MANAGES DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN THE CPU AND SATA-CONNECTED STORAGE DEVICES. 2.       GRAPHICS CONTROLLER CHIPS: ALSO KNOWN AS GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNITS (GPUS), THESE CHIPS HANDLE THE PROCESSING AND RENDERING OF GRAPHICS AND IMAGES. THEY ARE CRUCIAL FOR VIDEO DISPLAY AND GAMING PERFOR...

MOUSE TYPES AND INNER WORKINGS

 MOUSE TYPES AND INNER WORKINGS COMPUTER MICE COME IN VARIOUS TYPES, EACH DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES AND PREFERENCES. HERE ARE SOME COMMON TYPES OF COMPUTER MICE: 1.      WIRED MOUSE : THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL TYPE OF MOUSE THAT CONNECTS TO THE COMPUTER VIA A CABLE. IT'S SIMPLE, RELIABLE, AND DOESN'T REQUIRE BATTERY CHANGES. HOWEVER, THE CABLE CAN SOMETIMES BE CUMBERSOME. 2.      WIRELESS MOUSE : THESE MICE CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER VIA WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS BLUETOOTH OR A USB RECEIVER. THEY OFFER MORE FLEXIBILITY IN MOVEMENT SINCE THEY ARE NOT TETHERED BY A CABLE. THEY REQUIRE BATTERIES OR RECHARGING. 3.      OPTICAL MOUSE : OPTICAL MICE USE AN LED LIGHT AND OPTICAL SENSOR TO TRACK MOVEMENT, TRANSLATING IT INTO CURSOR MOVEMENT ON THE SCREEN. THEY WORK ON MOST SURFACES AND ARE GENERALLY MORE ACCURATE THAN OLDER BALL MICE. 4.      LASER MOUSE : LASER MICE USE A LASER INSTEAD OF AN L...

GENERAL FEATURES OF WINDOWS 7

  GENERAL FEATURES OF WINDOWS 7   EVERY LIVING BEING HAS SOME COMMON GENERAL FEATURES THAT DISTINGUISH THEM AMONG OTHER LIVING BEINGS.  FEATURES MEAN PROPERTIES THAT UNIQUELY IDENTIFY  THEM FROM OTHERS.  THIS APPLIES TO LIVING AS WELL AS NON LIVING THINGS ON EARTH.   I AM GOING TO SHOW FEW OF THEM.   SO LET’S BEGIN. WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS ABOUT SOME FEATURES OF  WINDOWS 7   ·                  THE NEW TASKBAR  – THE TASKBAR IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS DESKTOP.  BY DEFAULT WHEN AN APPLICATION OPENS YOU WILL SEE ITS ICON APPEAR IN THE TASKBAR.  HOWEVER,  WHEN THE APPLICATION IS CLOSED, THE ICON GOES AWAY.  FOR COMMONLY ACCESSED APPLICATION, USERS CAN PLACE A PERMANENT ICON ON EITHER THE TASKBAR OR IN THE START MENU.  THIS IS REFERRED AS “PINNING”.  TO PIN A PROGRAM TO THE TASK BAR,...
