INTRODUCTION
Computer affects our life in a much bigger way then most of us might have
thought. It has become a compulsory requirement in most professions to be able
to use computer software. The first computer invented was the ENIAC in 1943
which was the same size of a large room, consuming as much power as several
hundred modern PCs. Modern computers which are based on integrated circuits
are small enough to fit into mobile devices. One of the most compacted
computers out right now are table computers with the most popular being the
IPad, but even that is 9.1inch and weighing about 700grams. But imagine having a
computer will fit on your pencil case.
P-ISM (Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package), which is nothing but
the new discovery, which is under developing, stage by NEC Corporation. P-ISM is
a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a
handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera
scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected
with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also
connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal
gadget in a minimalist pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing. It is
shown below
A tablet personal computer (tablet PC) is a portable personal computer equipped
with a touch screen as a primary input device and designed to be operated and
owned by an individual. The term was made popular as a concept presented by
Microsoft in 2001, but tablet PCs now refer to any tablet-sized personal
computer, even if it's not using Windows but another PC operating system.
Tablets may use virtual keyboards and handwriting recognition for text input
through the touch screen.
All tablet personal computers have a wireless adapter for Internet and local
network connection. Software applications for tablet PCs include office suites,
web browsers, games and a variety of applications. However, since portable
computer hardware components are low powered, demanding PC applications
may not provide an ideal experience to the user.

T h i s personal gadget in a minimalistic pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous
computing .However, the prototype displayed at ITU Telecom World was
apparently the only sample that was built and reportedly cost $30,000. Thus,
while the prototype may have proved that such technology is feasible, it
is currently unclear when - or even if - personal computers of this type
will become available to the public. Several years on from the initial
launch of the P-ISM conceptual prototype, there seems to be little information
available about future plans.

5 PEN PC
Pen PC,which is nothing but the new discovery, which is under developing,
stage by NEC Corporation. P-ISM is a gadget package including five
functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function,
virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID
key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another
through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected
to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in
a minimalist pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing. A 5 Pen
PC system contains the following components:

PEN FUNCTIONS
1.CPU PEN

The functionality of the CPU is done by one of the pen. It is also known as
computing engine. It consists of dual core processor embedded in it and it
works with WINDOWS operation system. The central processing unit (CPU) is
the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer
program, and is the primary element carrying out the computer's functions. The
central processing unit carries out each instruction of the program in sequence, to
perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the
system. This term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early
1960s.
The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically
since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation remains much the

same. Early CPUs were custom designed as a part of a larger, sometimes one-ofa-kind, a n d computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs
for a particular application has largely given way to the development
of mass-produced processors that are made for one or many purposes.
This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete
transistor mainframes and mini computers and has rapidly accelerated
with the popularization of the integrated circuit(IC). The IC has allowed
increasingly

complex

CPUs

to

be

designed

andmanufactured to tolerances on the order of nanometres.B o t h t he mi ni a t u

r i za ti o n a n d standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of
these
digital
devices
in
modern
life
far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machine.
The performance or speed of a processor depends on the clock
rate and the instructions per clock (IPC), which together are the factors, for
the instructions per second(IPS) that the CPU can perform .Many reported IPS
values have represented "peak" execution rates on artificial instruction sequences
with few branches, whereas realistic workloads consist of a mix of instructions
and applications, some of which take longer to execute than others. The
performance of the memory hierarchy also greatly affects processor
performance, an issue barely considered in MIPS calculations. Because
of these problems, various standardized tests such as SPECint have been
developed to attempt to measure there all effective performance in
commonly used applications.
P r o ce s s i ng per f o r ma n ce o f co mpu t er s i s i n cr ea s ed b y us i n g
multi-core processors, w h i ch essentially is plugging two or
more individual processors (called cores in this sense) into one integrated
circuit. Ideally, a dual core processor would be nearly twice as powerful as a
single co r e pr o c e s s o r . I n p r a cti c e, ho w e v er , th e p er f o r ma n ce
g a i n i s f a r l es s , o nl y a bo ut f i f t y percent, due to imperfect software
algorithms and implementation.

2. COMMUNICATION PEN
P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless
technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the
cellular phone function. They are connected through Tri-wireless modes
(Blue tooth, 802.11B/G, a n d t e r a b yt e s o f d a t a , e x c e e d i n g t h e capacity
of todays hard disks. Th i s i s v e r y e f f e c t i v e b e c a u s e w e c a n a b l e t o

between the two devices (such as Blue tooths Adaptive Fre
q u e n c y Hopping), the most efficient and comprehensive solution for the
most serious problems can be accomplished by silicon vendors. They can
implement information exchange capabilities within the designs of the Blue
tooth. Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping
spread spectrum ,which chops u p t h e d a t a b e i n g s e n t a n d t r a n s mi t s

2480 MHz) in the range 2,400-2,483.5 MHz (allowing for guard bands)

3. VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
The Virtual Laser Keyboard (VKB) is the ULTIMATE new gadget
for PC users. The VKB emits laser on to the desk where it looks like the
keyboard having QWERTY arrangement of keys i.e., it uses a laser beam
to generate a full-size perfectly operating laser keyboard that s mo o t h l y
c o n n e c t s t o o f P C a n d mo s t o f t h e h a n d h e l d d e v i c e s . As we t yp e
o n t h e l a s e r projection , it analyses what we are typing according to the coordinates of the location.

A virtual keyboard is a software component that allows a user to

enter characters. A
virtualk e y b o a r d c a n u s u a l l y b e o p e r a t e d w i t h m u l t i p l e i n p u t
d e v i c e s , w h i c h m a y i n c l u d e a touch screen ,an actual keyboard, a
computer mouse, a head mouse and aneye mouse.
On a desktop PC, one purpose of a virtual keyboard is to
p r o v i d e a n a l t e r n a t i v e i n p u t mechanism for users with disabilities who
cannot use a physical keyboard. Another major use for an on-screen keyboard
is for bi- or multi-lingual users who switch frequently between different

character sets or alphabets. Although hardware keyboards are available

with dual key board layouts( f o r e x a mp l e C yr i l l i c / La t i n l e t t e r s i n
v a r i o u s n a t i o n a l l a yo u t s ) , t h e o n - screen keyboard provides a handy
substitute while working at different stations or on laptops ,which seldom come
with dual layouts.
The standard onscreen keyboard utility on most
windowing systems allow sh o t k e y s w i t c h i n g b e t we e n l a yo u t s f r o m
t h e p h ys i c a l k e yb o a r d ( t yp i c a l l y a l t - s h i f t b u t t h i s i s
u s e r configurable), simultaneously changing both the hardware and
the software keyboard layout .In addition, a symbol in the systray alerts the
user to the currently active layout .Although Linux supports this fast
manual keyboard-layout switching function, many popular Linux onscreen keyboards such as gt key board, Matchbox-keyboard or Kvkbd do
not react correctly. Kvkbd for example defines its visible layout according to the
first defined layout in K e y b o a r d P r e f e r e n c e s r a t h e r t h a n t h e
d e f a u l t l a yo u t , c a u s i n g t h e a p p l ic a t i o n t o o u t p u t incorrect characters
if the first layout on the list is not the default. Activating a hot-key layout switch
will cause the application to change its output according to another
keyboard layout, but the visible on-screen layout doesn't change, leaving
the user blind as to which keyboardl a yo u t h e i s u s i n g . M u l t i l i n g u a l , mu l t i - a l p h a b e t u s e r s s h ou l d c h o o s e a l i n ux o n s c r e e n keyboard that support this feature instead, like Florence .V i r t u a l

features of emulation software for systems that have fewer buttons than a
computer keyboard would have.

uses a virtual keyboard for the password entry, as does Treasury Direct(see

d , t h a n i t i s t o m o n i t o r r e a l keystrokes. However it is possible, for
example by recording screenshots at regular intervals or upon each mouse
click .The use of an on-screen keyboard on which the user "types" with
mouse clicks can increase the risk of password disclosure by shoulder surfing,
because:

s u s p i c i o u s l y) t h a n t h e keyboard, and see which characters the mouse moves
to.

v i s u a l f e e d b a c k o f t h e " k e y" clicked, e.g. by changing its colour
briefly. This makes it much easier for an observer to read the data from the
screen.

4. DIGITAL CAMERA
The digital camera is in the shape of pen .It is useful in video recording,
video conferencing , simply it is called as web cam. It is also connected with
other devices through Blue tooth. It is a 360 degrees visual communication
device. This terminal will enable us to know about the s u r r o u n d i n g

perform other elementary image editing. S o me h a v e a GPS receiver built
in, and can produce Geo tagged photographs .The optical system works the
same as in film cameras, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to
focus light onto an image pickup device. The diaphragm and shutter
admit the c o r r e c t a m o u n t o f l i g h t t o t h e i m a g e r , j u s t a s w i t h
film but the image pick up device is electronic rather
than chemical. Most digicams, apart from camera phones an

incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile
phones (called camera phones) t o v e h i c l e s . Th e Hubble Space Telescope

5. LED PROJECTOR
The role of monitor is taken by LED Projector which projects on the
screen. The size of the projector is of A4 size. It has the approximate
resolution capacity of 1024 X 768. Thus it is gives more clarity and good
picture. diagram of led projector A video projector is a device that receives a
video signal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen u s i n g

live events applications. Projectors are widely used in many schools and
other educational settings, connected to an interactive white board to
interactively teach pupils.
A video projector, also known as a digital projector, may be built into a
cabinet with a rear- p r o je c t i o n s c r e e n ( rear projection television
,o r R P T V ) t o f o r m a s i n g l e u n i f i e d d i s p l a y device, now popular
for home theatre applications .Common display resolutions for a portable
projector
include
SVGA(800600 pixels),XGA (1024768 pixels)
,
720p(1280720 pixels), and1080p (19201080 pixels).Th e c o s t o f a d e v i c e

lm) is required for a larger s c r e e n o r a r o o m w i t h a h i g h a m o u n t o f

a mb i e n t l i g h t .
A r a t i n g o f 1 5 0 0 t o 2 5 0 0 ANSI lumens or lower is suitable for smaller
screens with controlled lighting or low ambient light. Between 2500 and
4000 lm is suitable for medium-sized screens with some ambient light

s i d e ) . Increasing the diagonal measure of the image by 25% reduces the
image brightness by more than one-third (35%); an increase of 41% reduces
brightness by half.

Battery
The most important part in portable type of computer is battery and
storage capacity. Usually batteries must be small in size and work for
longer time. For normal use it can be used for 2weeks. The type of
battery used here is lithium ion battery. The storage device is of the type
tubular holographic which is capable of storing. The use of lithium ion
battery in this gadget will reduce energy density, durability and cost factor .By
making Five Pen PC feasible, it will enable ubiquitous computing
therefore it is easier for people to use. Many applications can be
imagined with this new technology. As it makes use of E-fingerprinting
the gadget will be more secure, which allows only owner to activate the
Pc. So even if we loose it, no one else can access the gadget. All PCs
communicate each other with the help of Bluetooth technology and the
entire gadget is connected to internet (Wi-fi) .This technology is very
portable, feasible and efficient. Every body can use this technology in very
efficient manner. Some prototypes have been already developed in
2003 which are very feasible, but currently unclear. The enhancement in this
technology can be expected in coming years.

Merits of 5 Pen PCs

A 5 Pen PC have several merits.They are :

1.Portable
The first and most important advantage of the 5 pen pc are that they are
portable. Due to its size they can be carried anywhere . These PCs are in the
shape of pens and thats why they can be carried in small bags or even in our
pockets. A portable computer is a computer that is designed to be moved from
one place to another and includes a display and keyboard. They can also be called
a 'Portable Workstation' or 'Portable PC'.5Pen PC are the most easily portable pc
ever made. Another major merit is that its works on battery and so it can be used
whenever we want.

2. Ubiquitous computing
Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop model of human-computer
interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into
everyday objects and activities. In the course of ordinary activities, someone
"using" ubiquitous computing engages many computational devices and systems
simultaneously, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so.
This model is usually considered an advancement from the desktop padgim .
More formally Ubiquitous computing is defined as "machines that fit the human
environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs.

3. Wi-Fi technology
The another major important merit of a 5 pen pc is that its has a Wi-Fi technology
built in it through which the user can connect to the internet very easily. Wifi, is a
mechanism that allows electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over
a computer network. A device enabled with Wi-Fi, such as a personal computer,
video game console, smart phone, tablet, or digital audio player, can connect to a
network resource such as the Internet via a wireless network access point.
An access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 ft) indoors and a
greater range outdoors. Hotspot coverage can comprise an area as small as a
single room with walls that block radio signals or a large area, as much as many
square miles, covered by multiple overlapping access points. To connect to a Wi-Fi
LAN, a computer has to be equipped with a wireless network interface controller.
The combination of computer and interface controller is called a station. All
stations share a single radio frequency communication channel. Transmissions on
this channel are received by all stations within range. The hardware does not
signal the user that the transmission was delivered and is therefore called a besteffort delivery mechanism. A carrier wave is used to transmit the data in packets,
referred to as "Ethernet frames". Each station is constantly tuned in on the radio
frequency communication channel to pick up available transmissions. A Wi-Fienabled device can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless
network connected to the Internet.

4. Feasible
5 Pen PC technology is a feasible model of portable PCs, i.e., it is one of the most
possible and practical to achieve easily or conveniently. This type of PCs can be
used everywhere and by anyone. Its is very easy to use.

Demerits of 5 Pen PCs

1.Positioning
Positioning is a major factor affecting the proper usage of the this PC.the
keyboard and the display are virtual in this case so need a flat and clear surface to
get a better experience ,so the positioning matters the display and working with
the PC. The keyboard and the display are being worked by the use of laser. These
devices are interconnected by using Bluetooth. So the positioning of the device
plays a major role in its working.

2.Cost
The production cost of these type of PCs are too high. By the decrease in the size
of the PC parts the cost of these computer are also very high. By the increase in
the cost of these computers these cannot become useful for the common
people. These is one of the main demerits of these PC.

3.Battery
Another major disadvantage of this type of PC is its battery life. Its the battery
used in this PC only last for maximum of 2 weeks. Its life span is only for two
weeks. These is yet another demerit of these PCs.

CONCLUSION
By the human needs the communication devices are becoming smaller and
compactable. PC are becoming smaller and smaller. We can see that the 5 pen pc
technology is one of the advanced Portable PC that is easy to carry even in our
pockets and work with it any where we want. This 'pen sort of instrument'
produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from
where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop
computer. This has also Wi-Fi technology in which user can communicate through
the internet, Its another major advancement is the camera which can be used
even for video conferencing. This is just a new start. We can expect much more
advanced comfortable pc system in future.
