Question

Clearly explain the input-process-output mechanism in a wearable computer using appropriate example?

Answer 1

Input-process-output mechanism in a wearable computer:

Wearable computer:

• Wearable computers are small electronic devices that can perform some computing operation on some inputs they receive their own or feeds manually.
• The wearable computer includes the small mobile computing devices, new devices such as Google glass, etc.

Input-process-output mechanism:

• The inputs are taken mainly through the sensors that are inbuilt in the devices.
• The sensors includes the accelerometer, heart rate monitor, gesture readers, etc.
• The inputs from the sensors are taken by the devices and that is used for processing.
• The processing are based on the program that stored in that device and based on the use of the device.
• The processed data is used to display or the action that is programmed in the device.

Example:

• A commonly used wearable computer is fitness tracker.
• The data obtained from the sensors such as accelerometer, altimeter, gyroscope, bio-impedance sensor, etc.
• The obtained data from the sensors are used in the processing stage and the output details are either displayed or send to the connected smartphone.
• The output data include distance covered, average heart rate, fat burned amount, etc.
