5 pen pc technology

5 Pen PC Technology - Seminar Topic

Abstract

“5 Pen PC Technology” is a recent discovery in the field of pen computing. Pen computing is a field that outlines computer like user interface that makes use of pen like devices that will be convenient to use in comparison to contemporary systems (such as laptops, desktops etc.).5 Pen PC technology consists of 5 pen like devices which are used for providing functions of a CPU, a projector, a virtual keyboard, a camera, and communication functions of a cellular phone.

 All the 5 pens are connected to each other via wireless technology preferably Bluetooth i.e. 802.11 BG. The whole set of 5 pen technology is connected to the internet via the cellular phone pen.5 pen PC technology is also known as P-ISM i.e. Penstyle Personal Networking Gadget Package

Introduction

The current 21st century is considered to be a new era in the field of technology. In the contemporary world, communication technology is becoming larger. Since the time computer has been invented engineers have been trying to making it more and more compact so that it would become user-friendly. A world where everybody can use modern IT without being an expert was always thought as something unreal. 

Use of pen and paper to send SMSs, e-mails and surf Internet didn’t seem feasible. However, the introduction of Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget i.e. P-ISM has made things easier and convenient. These are computers in the shape of different pens each where-in each has a function of its own, but when combined together, they give us the usage of a complete computer in an easy and compact manner.

 In other words it is a computer that is broken apart into pieces. Fig.1 shows the prototype of 5 Pen Technology. During the ITU Telecom World exhibition held in 2003, Geneva, the Tokyo-based NEC Corporation presented a conceptual prototype of P-ISM. The 5 Pen PC technology was designed by Toru Ichihash. It is basically an innovation in the field of computers in association to the communication field. Rest assured, it will have a greater impact in the field of computers.

Components

  • CPU Pen
  • Communication Pen
  • Projector Pen
  • Digital Camera Pen
  • Virtual Keyboard Pen

Advantages

  • It is convenient to use because of its portability (small and compact).
  • It supports wireless technologies.
  • Excellent battery life(up to 2 weeks)

Disadvantages

  • It works on wireless technologies and therefore it has limitations of range.
  • It is exorbitantly expensive.
  • One of the components can be easily misplaced.
  • Projection surface should be flat for optimum usage.

Conclusion

Continuous advancement in technologies has brought about many changes in the field of computing and communication. The connection between the latest technology and human has been visualized in the form of a pen. The design concept here makes use of five different pens to create a computer. One pen functions as a camera, another as a CPU pen, one projects the visual output including the display, another one creates a virtual keyboard and the fifth pen is a communicator which functions as a cellular phone. This entire set of pens rests in a holding block which recharges the batteries and holds the mass storage and these pens communicate wirelessly through Bluetooth. Thus, P-ISM provides a good overview of what the future holds in the field of technology.

Future Scope

The 5 Pen Pc Technology project started in the year 2003.However, the information about its release is not yet made public. Whether it will be available for the public use is still a question, because of its excessive price of 30,000$. The prototype developed by the company proves that the creation of such complex technology is feasible, but because of lack of information about its recent developments, it is unclear what the company’s intentions are about this technology.
