  2. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    The name originates from the Basic Input/Output System used in the CP/M operating system in 1975. [2] [3] The BIOS firmware was originally proprietary to the IBM PC; it was reverse engineered by some companies (such as Phoenix Technologies) looking to create compatible systems. The interface of that original system serves as a de facto standard.

  3. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    It is theorized that the brain works in a set sequence, as does a computer. The sequence goes as follows, "receives input, processes the information, and delivers an output". This theory suggests that we as humans will process information in a similar way. Like a computer receives input the mind will receive information through the senses. If ...

  4. Functionalism (philosophy of mind) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionalism_(philosophy...

    The assumption is that adding a transducer layer, that is, an input-output system, to an object should not change whether that object has mental states. The transducer layer is restricted to producing behavior according to a simple mapping, such as a lookup table, from inputs to actions on the system, and from the state of the system to outputs.

  5. Input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output

    In computing, input/output (I/O, i/o, or informally io or IO) is the communication between an information processing system, such as a computer, and the outside world, such as another computer system, peripherals, or a human operator. Inputs are the signals or data received by the system and outputs are the signals or data sent from it.

  6. Human–computer interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human–computer_interaction

    High-functionality systems. Systems can have large numbers of functions associated with them. There are so many systems that most users, technical or non-technical, do not have time to learn about traditionally (e.g., through thick user manuals). The mass availability of computer graphics. Computer graphics capabilities such as image processing ...

  7. Information processing (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing...

    An example of this is the working memory model. This includes the central executive, phonologic loop, episodic buffer, visuospatial sketchpad, verbal information, long-term memory, and visual information. [2] The central executive is like the secretary of the brain. It decides what needs attention and how to respond.

  8. IPO model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPO_Model

    The input–process–output model. The input–process–output (IPO) model, or input-process-output pattern, is a widely used approach in systems analysis and software engineering for describing the structure of an information processing program or other process. Many introductory programming and systems analysis texts introduce this as the ...

  9. User interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface

    Touch user interface are graphical user interfaces using a touchpad or touchscreen display as a combined input and output device. They supplement or replace other forms of output with haptic feedback methods. Used in computerized simulators, etc. Voice user interfaces, which accept input and provide output by generating voice prompts. The user ...
