What is an embedded system? Can Mobile be considered as an embedded product?

Question

What is mean by embedded system?

If a system/machine or product which we are making is for multiple purposes, then can we consider it as an embedded system? Or is it tha

Answer 1

The embedded system is a microprocessed system in which a computer is attached to the system it controls. An embedded system can perform a set of tasks that have been predefined. The system is used for specific tasks, and thus, through engineering it is possible to optimize a given product and decrease the size, as well as the computational resources and its final value.
Embedded systems are all around us, and for that reason, we are not aware of their computational capacity, since we are so involved with such mechanisms. Embedded systems operate on machines that can work for several years without stopping, and which still, in some cases, have the ability to self-correct.

An excellent example of items that use embedded systems are the famous smartphones, which perform specific functions, and which have more limited mechanisms than computers.

Check below a list with some examples that receive the application of embedded systems:

1. Electronic ballot box
2. Video games
3. Calculators
4. Printers
5. Hospital equipment
6. In vehicles
7. Some home appliances
8. Cellular apparatus
9. Routers
