Tutorial 3

1. Discuss the usage of ONE (1) input device for students to attend online classes. (3 marks)

=keyboard
-to enter characters and functions into the computer systems by pressing buttons or keys

2. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio signals to communicate with a
tag placed in or attached to an object, an animal, or a person. Discuss TWO (2) examples of an
RFID application. (10marks)

=Tounch n Go and Jewellery Tracking

3. a) Describe ONE (1) input device that you need to use when shopping online. (3 marks)

purchases. (5 marks)

=Name

Age

Address

Email Address

Preferences

4. a) Differentiate between Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) device and Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition device (MICR). (4 marks)

For creating artwork, Samantha could use a mouse for precise control in digital painting software, a keyboard for shortcuts and commands, and a scanner to digitalize hand-drawn sketches or other materials for further manipulation in digital formats .

Fingerprint recognition is more convenient because it does not require a clear line of sight, allowing users to authenticate instantly without positioning themselves precisely in front of a scanner. In contrast, iris recognition requires a clear view between the eye and the scanner, making it more cumbersome in everyday use .

A mouse serves to control a range of functions on a computer, such as navigating web pages, selecting items, and executing commands, which are critical tasks when shopping online for browsing products and completing purchases .

Biometric technologies such as fingerprint readers and iris recognition systems offer enhanced security for mobile computers by enabling secure and user-friendly authentication processes that are difficult to replicate unlawfully, protecting sensitive data against unauthorized access .

RFID technology enhances Tounch 'n Go by automating toll payments through contactless data exchange between RFID tags and scanners, reducing congestion and enhancing convenience. In jewellery tracking, RFID tags help in maintaining inventory accuracy and preventing theft by enabling efficient and precise location tracking of items .

A pointing device is used to control the movement of the cursor on a computer screen, allowing users to interact with graphical elements by moving the insertion point, selecting items, and executing functions through clicks and gestures .

OMR functions by detecting the presence or absence of marks, making it ideal for applications such as grading tests or surveys with marked answers. Conversely, MICR reads printed information in magnetic ink, primarily used in the banking industry for processing checks due to its high accuracy in reading numerical data .

When making online purchases, users typically need to input personal data such as their name, age, address, email address, and preferences. This information is essential for processing the transaction, ensuring delivery, and managing user accounts .

Beyond security, biometric devices can be leveraged for user recognition in tailored service delivery, such as customizing user experiences on apps or devices based on previous interactions and preferences recorded through biometric data .

The keyboard allows students to enter characters and functions into computer systems by pressing keys or buttons, facilitating tasks such as typing responses, inputting text in chat boxes, and navigating software used in online classes .
