"Week 3"- Operating Systems/SW

So it's difficult to relate all the lecture material to my invention but I'll try to piece it together. My earmuffs would need to come with a software that customers would have to get in order to install its program on their PC's. The software could be purchased on a CD-ROM disc that, when properly installed, people could just attach their music earmuffs to the computer through a USB (like an ipod) and update their audio files regularly onto their earmuffs. If the earmuffs cannot hold too many files, people will want to change their playlists or music selections that are stored on their earmuffs. People will easily be able to change which songs are on their earmuffs by connecting the earmuffs to the computer, after the software is installed.
This week we discussed operating systems. My software would be compatible with all operating systems, so anyone could purchase my product. The operating system would manage all processes of the music earmuff program installed on a person's computer. Hopefully whoever gets this software for the earmuffs will have a pre-emptive mult-tasking operating system so that they can update their earmuffs while also doing other thing on their computers. With this type of tasking strategy, the operating system kernel guarantees each process some operating time at the same time.
