The document discusses different types of terminals including dumb terminals, intelligent terminals, smart terminals, local terminals, remote terminals, and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. A terminal is a device that performs both input and output and is used to send and receive data from a central computer. Terminals allow multiple users to access a computer simultaneously. Dumb terminals have limited functions and depend on the central computer, while intelligent terminals can process, store, and transmit data independently. Smart terminals are used for checkouts and payments. Local terminals connect directly to the central computer while remote terminals connect via telecommunication lines. POS terminals record purchases and input data to the host computer.

3. PRESENTATION ON TERMINALS
& ITS TYPES
PRESENTED TO : SIR AURANGZAIB

4. TERMINAL :
 Device that performs both input and output.
 Used to send and receive Data ,mostly
consists of keyboard & monitor.
 Many terminals connected to a central
compute.
 Through terminal, much people can work on
a computer at a same time.

6. POINT-OF-SALE(POS) Terminal:
 Records purchase at
point where purchase
is made.
 Output from POS
terminals serves as
input to host
computer.

7. TYPES OF TERMINAL:
Few types of terminals are as follow:
 DUMB TERMINAL
 INTELLIGENT TERMINAL
 SMART TERMINAL
 LOCAL TERMINAL
 REMOTE TERMINAL
 VIDEO DISPLAY TERMINAL

8. DUMB TERMINAL:
 Has limited function related to other types of
computer terminals.
 Can process information and can only display
the input received from the input hardware.
 Depend on central computer for their work
 It has only input and output units to send and
receive information to and from other terminals.

9. CHARACTERISTICS
No independent
processing power.
Are used to enter &
transmit data
Receive & display
information from the
host computer.

10. INTELEGENT TERMINAL:
 They are microcomputer that can
process data and store it .
 This device is often a combination of
a display and keyboard with at least
one built-in microprocessor to provide
facilities such as editing .
 It can process ,store and receive
information to & from other terminals
as well as central computer.

11. Characteristics:
 Programmable
 Has memory &
processor
 Independent processing
capability

12. SMART TERMINAL:
 Can process information but can not
perform any programming operations.
 Smart terminal allow merchants to swipe
,insert or manually credit card data for fast
check out.
 This terminals are usually used for
checkouts and payments.

13. LOCAL TERMINAL:
 Directly connected to central
computer through cables.
 This type of networking called
local area network(LAN).
 Local terminal are used in
singal building .

14. REMOTE TERMINAL:
 Long distance away from
the central computer.
 Connected to central
computer through
telecommunication lines.
 The remote terminals are
mostly like intelligent
terminal.

15. VIDEO DISPLAY TERMINAL:
 This is like a TV screen. This
screen is called monitor.
 It display information
received from the computer.
 The combination of monitor &
video display unit in called
the video display terminal.
