Document Summary
Hardware, software, and telecommunications work together to create the enterprise architecture (ea) Four components including various input devices which accept signals and convert them to a digital format that matches the signal"s meaning. Most input devices rely on human input so they are designed with human capabilities in mind. The ascii code determines how characters are encoded into digital strings so that a backspace might send 000100 and a shift + s sent 010010 for capital s. Optical scanners capture text or images and convert them to digital format in thousands of settings. Optical character recognition (ocr) software can interpret the actual letters and numbers on a page, creating a digital document that can be edited rather than a at picture. Radio frequency identi cation (rfid) tags are used in supply chains to track shipments: small chips are equipped with a microprocessor, a tiny antenna to receive and transmit data, and sometimes a battery.
