Explanation of Solution

Types of scanners and reading devices:

  • Optical scanners: An optical scanner is a light-sensing input device that reads printed information such as text and graphics and converts them into a digital form so that the computer can process them.
    • The scanner captures information directly from a source document, which is the original form of the information. Source documents are classified as brochures, paychecks, time cards, photos, order forms, advertisement, invoices or any other documents.
    • Scanner copies the file from the machine and generate a file of the document in the computer memory.
    • Then, the copied file or photos can be viewed on the screen.
  • Optical readers: An optical reader uses a light source to read characters, codes, marks, and converts them into digital data so that a computer can process them. It uses the following two technologies,
    • The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) devices contain a small optical scanner for reading characters and sophisticated software to analyze the characters.
    • Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) devices can read hand-drawn marks, such as small rectangles or circles. OMR software reads the marks in the test or survey forms. This software also reads and converts hand-drawn marks into electronic files.
  • Bar code readers: A bar code uses laser beams to read the bar code labels. A bar code is an identification code that contains numbers and a pattern of parallel lines, dots, space of different widths.
    • For quick identification, bar codes are labelled to a product or a package of the product such as clothing, mail, books, groceries, vehicles, and other packages...

Draw a system/level-0 diagram for this scenario: You are developing a new customer relationship management system for the BEC store, which rents out movies to customers. Customers will provide comments on new products, and request rental extensions and new products, each of which will be stored into the system and used by the manager for purchasing movies, extra copies, etc. Each month, one employee of BEC will select their favorite movie pick of that week, which will be stored in the system. The actual inventory information will be stored in the Entertainment Tracker system, and would be retrieved by this new system as and when necessary. Example of what a level-0 diagram looks like is attached.
