Most likely the room has some sort of motion sensor to tell if someone is present.

A heat sensor can tell if a person is in the room by the heat generated by the human body. A sound sensor can respond to noise made by a person walking, talking or otherwise. Either will work.

The triggered sensor can turn on the lights or anything else electrically. The lights are usually attached to some kind of timer so that if no activity is detected in the room for a while, the lights are turned off until the next time the sensor is triggered.

There is a motion sensor mounted on the light switch which picks up your movement when you enter the room. That automatically turns on the light. When you leave the room and there is no motion for a set period of time it will turn the lights off. If you look at the light switch on the wall you will see the sensor.

How are input and output devices used in a supermarket?

Here are the input and output devices in a supermarket and their roles:Cameras - These are input devices for the store security system. Their security office has computers, I/O storage devices (often hard drives), and monitors for output devices so their loss management team can watch suspicious customers.Checkout lights - While not a computer component, these are output devices that let the customer know if the register is open or closed. If they are flashing, then that signals that a manager is needed, or that the cashier has left to get the manager or do a price check.Keypads - These are input devices used for the cashier and/or the customer to enter data. For the cashier or manager, it is to enter price overrides and to enter prices or SKU codes of unmarked merchandise. For the customer, it is for entering their pin number.Loss management sensors - These are primarily input devices in that they use RF signals to detect if there is unpaid merchandise. But they are also output devices when a detection is made, since they sound alarms and flash lights to alert the possibility of theft.Price scanner - This is an input device that reads the UPC codes so the prices can be determined.Receipt printer - This is an output device that prints the receipts for the customers. This could be a part of a cash register or a separate device that is attached to a point of sale system or computer.Scales - These are primarily input devices in that they input data from the weight of the products. They are also used as security devices in self-check registers. They can also be output devices if they display the weight of the product.Video terminals - These are output devices that are used to show the cashier and the customer the prices and to allow the cashier to operate the system. There are also video terminals in the security office.

Is it legal for landlord to enter property to fix your lights if you are at work without letting you know?

Under most state laws a landlord must give you adequate notice before he can enter your property for routine maintenance or inspection. Absent this notice, he may enter your property if it's an emergency. However, in many states, your request for maintenance or repairs is sufficient to allow your landlord to enter your property without consent.
