A common purpose for an embedded system in consumer electronics is to control and manage specific tasks efficiently. These systems are designed to perform dedicated functions within devices, such as digital cameras, washing machines, and smart thermostats. Unlike general-purpose computers, embedded systems are optimized for resource efficiency, often running on minimal power and with limited hardware. Their purpose may include processing data from sensors, controlling actuators, or providing user interfaces, ultimately enhancing the functionality and user experience of the device.
