1. TWAIN Open industry standard interface for the input devices to capture multimedia objects More and more sophisticated devies are developed to cater to the needs of various applications

2. HOW THESE DEVICES ARE USED? Applications were initially written for a single device Eg. OCR reads a text and imports the file as ASCII file to the application. Less flexible and so used different appl. Program for different devices. Time consuming

3. Contd. Later, device drivers were provided with all devices to provide an interface between program and the devices Appl. program became more complex. Complicated code for supporting multiple interfaces.

4. USAGE OF TWAIN TWAIN working group created an open industry standard interface for input devices Single TWAIN interface can be used to interface different devices.

5. BENEFITS OF TWAIN Application developers can code a single TWAIN interface Device manufacturers can write device drivers with TWAIN spec. Multiple devices can be used in appl. Using “Acquire” & “Select Source”

6. OBJECTIVES Supports multiple platform Supports multiple devices Widespread acceptance with std. interface Extendibility & backward compatibility Multidata format Easy to use

7. TWAIN ARCHITECTURE

8. APPLICATION LAYER Sets up a logical connection with device No rules on the design User interface guideline to select sources Select source helps to select multiple sources Acquire helps to import data from the selected device.

9. PROTOCOL LAYER Provides interface for appl. Layer Comm. between appl. and acquisition layer Specifies services provided by a source Does not specify physical connection, control & devices info. Source Manager – heart of protocol layer

10. SOURCE MANAGER Provide std. API for all sources Selection of sources Establish logical sessions b/w appl. and sources. Regulates traffic and validate transactions Load or unload sources Maintain default source Keep track of sessions and session identities

11. ACQUISTION LAYER Contains virtual device driver Acts directly with device driver Local Remote SOURCE

12. Functions of source Control of device Acquisition of data from device Transfer of data in agreed format Control of devices by user DEVICE LAYER Receives the s/w commands and controls the device hardware accordingly
