BIOMETRIC SYSTEM

A biometric system is a technological system that uses information about a person (or
other biological organism) to identify that person. Biometric systems rely on specific
data about unique biological traits in order to work effectively. A biometric system will
involve running data through algorithms for a particular result, usually related to a
positive identification of a user or other individual.

The specific nature of today’s biometric systems is associated with a specific use of the
term "biometrics." In general, biometrics is any use of biological data in technology.
Biometric systems focusing exclusively on the identification of humans have become
the major kind of biometric system in today’s IT world.

SENSORS
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the
physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture,
pressure, or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena.
The output is generally a signal that is converted to human-readable display at
the sensor location or transmitted electronically over a network for reading or
further processing. 

LIGHT PEN
A light pen is a light-sensitive computer input device, basically a stylus, that is used to
select text, draw pictures and interact with user interface elements on a computer
screen or monitor. The light pen works well with CRT monitors because of the way such
monitors scan the screen, which is one pixel at a time, giving the computer a way to
keep track of the expected scanning time by the electron beam and infer the pen's
position based on the latest timestamp of the scanning.

REMOTE CONTROL
A remote control (RC) is a small, usually hand-held, electronic device for controlling
another device, such as a television, radio or audio/video recording device. Remote
controls commonly operate via infrared signals but sometimes by radio frequency
signals. The remote control may control a variety of functions such as volume, channel,
track number and other functions. Modern remote control devices often have more
controlling functions than are found on the device itself, which may have only a few
primary essential controls. 
 DOCUMENT SCANNER
A document scanner is a device, which converts a document or text from its paper form into digital data.
The current trend in document scanners is considered a big step toward effective document
management. Document scanners reduce time and labor to transform the information from printed
materials to digital data stores, for example, to the hard disks of a personal computer or to storage in the
cloud. In addition, using a document scanner, it is possible to recover, retrieve and preserve old or
valuable documents.

VOICE RESPONSE UNIT

A voice response system (VRS) is a computer interface which responds to voice
commands, instead of responding to inputs from a mouse or a keystroke. 

It is a type of speech synthesis where sentences are organized by concatenating pre-

recorded words saved in a database. Contrary to a text-to-speech (TTS) system, a
voice response system functions using limited vocabulary in scenarios where the
sentences or phrases formed adhere to a strict predetermined sequence.

GRAPHICS TABLET
A graphics tablet is a hardware input device that enables an artist to draw or sketch
digitally using a pen or stylus. They are helpful because they provide a more natural and
precise feel than a standard computer mouse.
