Information processing
In information processing, output is the process of transmitting information by an object (verb usage).
Output may also be used as a noun for information transmitted by a source (object).
Human-computer interaction
In human-computer interaction, output is information produced by the computer program and perceived by the user. The user interface determines what types of output the program accepts. In this context, feedback and output are often used interchangeably. However, output tends to refer specifically to explicit output, something that is produced for the user only, whereas feedback also encompasses byproducts of operation that happen to contain information (see low-key feedback).
Telecommunications
In telecommunication, the term output can refer to:
- Information retrieved from a functional unit or from a network, usually after some processing.
- Pertaining to a device, process, or channel involved in the production of data by a computer or by any of its components.
