Input units

This is the "receiving" section of the computer. It obtains information (data and computer programs) from input devices and places this information at disposal of the other units so that the information can be processed. Most information is entered into computers through keyboards and mouse devices. Information also can be entered by speaking to your computer, by scanning images and by having your computer receive information from network, such as internet.

Computer

A computer is capable of performing computations and making logical decisions at speed millions (even billions) of times faster than human beings can. For example, many of today's personal computers can perform a billion additions per second. A person operating a desk calculator might require a lifetime to complete the same number of calculations a powerful personal computer can perform in one second. (points to ponder: How would you know whether the person added the numbers correctly?) Today's fastest supercomputer can perform a hundreds of billions of additions per second! And trillion-instruction-per-second computers are already functioning in research laboratories.

Computers can process data under the control of sets of instructions called computer programs. These computer programs guide the computer through orderly sets of actions specified by people called computer programs.

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) for mobile phones is defined as the use of telecommunication to provide wireless access through a wed browser. This communication is usually through the Internet via Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections, but almost any kind of connection can be used.

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) technology has been widely develop worldwide nowadays. Many of the industries worldwide are using this to enhance their services to their costumers. It is designed to provide services equivalent to a Web browser, being specifically design to address the limitations of very small portable devices. Globally, the study aim to help to enhanced the features of the existing technology when it comes to Wireless Application Protocol.

Since here in the Philippines the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) technology is not commonly established. The research study is applying the best alternative protocol where WAP application Movie Guide with video Streaming can be a beg help in our society. It is created to design a Web/WAP-based application that could help the movie house in publishing their movie here in davao city. In the research study the researcher used GPRS or 3G as a WAP Gateway where in the internet and WAP enable cell phones can support to connect each other. By this protocol the communication between internets PC via WAp enable cell phone can become easy. It can transfer files or even do some transaction where it can allow and manage a WAP sites with video streaming through a websites.

XML

-Acronym for eXtensible Markup Language, a condensed form of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). XML let Web developer designers create customized tags that offer greater flexibility in organizing and presenting information. The XML specification was published in drafts form by a working group at the World Wide Web Consortium and supported by a number of leading companies in the computer industry.

Gantt Chart


-A bar chart that shows individual parts of a project as bars against a horizontal time scale. Gantt charts are used as a project-planning tool for developing schedules. Most project-planning software can produce Gantt Chart.

Game Ports





-it is a socket which located at the back of a computer. A joystick can be used with various game to fly, drive or shoot objects.

FREQUENCY

The measure of how often a periodic event occurs, such as a signal going through a complete cycle. Frequency is usually measured in hertz (Hz), with 1 Hz equaling 1 occurrence (cycle) per second. In the United States, household electricity is alternating current with a frequency of 60 Hz. Frequency is also measured in kilohertz (KHz, or 1,000 Hz), megahertz (MHz, or 1,000 KHz), gigahertz (GHz, or 1,000 MHz), or terahertz (THz, or 1,000 GHz).
