Lesson 17: Modes Of Use
1
Learning Objectives
Define
Modes of Use / Operation.
Define and understand the differences between
batch processing, on-line processing and realtime
processing.
Have an understanding of a wider range of workrelated IT applications and their effects.
2
There are 2 main types of software
Software
System Software
Performs tasks needed to just run
the computer system. Without
system software application
software could not run.
Applications Software
Carries out some task/s for the user
allowing the user to produce
something useful.
Human Computer
/ User Interfaces

Modes of Use / Operation
The first kinds of
operating system could only do
one task at a time for one user.
Then other operating systems came out that
could work in other ways or modes.
5
Modes of Use / Operation
Some books classify modes of use / operation as
different types of operating systems.
However, modern operating systems can work in
a multitude of different ‘modes’.
So it is best to think of ‘Modes of Use’ as the
different ways or modes operating systems can
work in.

more information.
Real-time
Processing
Batch
(& off-line)
Processing
Instructions
7
On-line processing
User
has direct contact with processor.
Used when:
Processor
needs to be constantly ready to receive
input.
Justified by:
Explaining
why processor needs to be constantly
ready to receive input.
Examples

Examples of On-line processing
Real Time (Transaction)
As soon as a transaction is received by the computer, it is
processed and any data files are updated.

ATMs

Real-time processing
•Any control system which uses sensors requiring immediate
response at the time of input, quickly enough to affect the next
input.
•Is by definition also on-line.
•Used because a system must react immediately when input from
a sensor is received as a delay is unacceptable.
•Justified by:
•Explaining what action must be taken immediately and why
a delay is unacceptable.
Examples
10
Examples of Real-time processing
Any control system requiring immediate
response or safety critical system.
 Air
traffic control
 Real-time banking
 Any safety critical
systems
 Games / simulations.
 rockets
fired onto space,
robots
 computer controlled
 air
conditioning
 central heating
 burglar alarm
 greenhouses etc.

11
Batch processing
Collect
data together before being processed.
Off-line processing
User
cannot communicate directly with processor.
Used When
12
Batch and Offline processing is
used when :
Batch:
Large amounts of data to be processed that will
take a long time to complete.
Data processing of similar type.
Processor time is available in quiet time.
Off-line:
No human intervention required.
Examples
13
Example uses of Batch and Off-line
processing
The processing of:
Bank
cheques
Payroll
Non-automatic stock control systems
Utility billing.
