introduction
one computing device is an automaton consisting of electronic circuits in which electrical signals circulate. These signals represent numbers (see digital electronics) on which the device automatically performs operations according to pre-recorded instructions.
Numbers are also used in the device to represent characters, colors or other information. The device thus manipulates not only numbers, but all kinds of information (The whole understood as a set of what exists is often interpreted as the world or …) that can be recovered by an electronic circuit (An electronic circuit is a set of electronic components connected together on a …) and transformed into a series of numbers: text, images, sound or video (video includes all the techniques, technologies that allow recording, as well as the …). It also allows information to be stored and exchanged.

A computer generally refers to a modular and unmarked machine designed to process information.
An embedded system generally refers to a computing device dedicated to a specific task.
embedded systems
The game console is a device that performs processing, specifically computer graphics (also incorrectly called computer graphics, a term that refers to more) and simulation for fun purposes. This is often done with a computer hidden in a box. Calculator is the oldest computing device.
The satellite receiver is a device that processes digital signals received by radio (A radioelectric wave (known as a radio wave) is an electromagnetic wave whose…) before sending them to a television (The television (or a television, colloquially apocope used) is a device with a screen…). the decoding of signals uses digital processing algorithms (A digital information is information…) of the signal (General terms A signal is a simplified and generically coded message. It exists…). The GPS receiver picks up signals sent by satellites and uses cartographic information (Cartography means the production and study of geographical maps. The…) to generate the digital image (We use the term digital image to mean any image (drawing, symbol, etc.) of a geographic map (A geographic map is a representation of a geographic area. It highlights…).
Avionics devices such as the autopilot (An autopilot (often abbreviated PA) is a system for maintaining a…) or the inertial unit perform geometry calculations (geometry is the part of mathematics that studies the figures of space…) and physics (physics (from Greek φυσις, nature) is etymological…) based on numbers obtained using sensors (A sensor is a device that converts the state of a physical quantity observed in one…). This in terms of (sight is the sense that makes it possible to observe and analyze the environment through reception and …), to navigation (navigation is the science and all the techniques that make possible: ) and the safety of aircraft , ships and spacecraft . Military aircraft are also equipped with weapon systems, computing devices designed to support missions.
The mobile phone (The telephone is a communication system originally designed to transmit speech…), the mobile camera and the camera (The term camera comes from the Latin: chamber, for photographic chamber. It designates a device… ) video are formerly electromechanical or analog electronic devices (analog electronics is the set of electronic systems that process information…) now using computer device techniques. Likewise, the electronic circuits of cars, dishwashers and hi-fi systems (Hi-Fi is the abbreviation of the English term “high fidelity”, which means…) today use techniques derived from computers.
Robots are electronic, mechanical and computer-aided (mechatronic) devices that perform manipulations autonomously. Autonomy is provided by a computing device placed inside or outside the robot (A robot is a mechatronic device (combining mechanics, electronics and…). A computer bot is an automaton (An automaton is a device that behaves automatically , i.e. without…) Software (In computing, software is a set of information related to processing…) which, when inserted into a computer, causes it to perform autonomous operations.
A Network Attached Storage (abbr.: NAS, translation: storage connected to the network) is a device designed to store information and make it available over a computer network (A computer network is a set of devices that are connected to each other … . ) . Routers and firewalls are devices that examine, sort, and filter information passing through a computer network.
computers
A server is a computer used to automatically respond to requests sent from a computer network. It typically performs information storage, distribution, and sorting operations.
Mainframe Anglicism denotes a high-performance server (The word power is used in several fields with a specific meaning:) used as the central computer of a large computer network. A supercomputer (A supercomputer (or supercomputer) is a computer designed to achieve the best…) is a computer of very high performance, often of large dimensions (in the general sense, the notion of dimension refers to the Size; the dimensions d’ une…), it is used for operations that require many calculations such as weather forecasts or simulations.
A personal computer (A personal computer, also called a microcomputer or personal computer, is a…) Also called a microcomputer, is a small computer intended for personal use. A workstation is a powerful personal computer that is often used alternately by several people. A laptop is a small personal computer designed to be carried in a suitcase. A personal assistant is a handheld computer that is typically used as a calculator, diary (A diary is a tool for assigning actions to times and thus organizing…) or notepad. A smartphone is both a personal assistant and a mobile phone.
Anglicism Appliance (translated: device), denotes a computer sold turnkey (The hand is the tangible effector organ located at …) and intended for a specific purpose, such as a web server, a firewall fire.
