good morning again one question yeah send choose a number submit yep yep yep yep all set yeah good okay let us see what we can find here okay a very warm welcome again to everyone here we are already at our functional design meeting and this is what we are going to do the opening which we are doing now and the special note i am project manager but on the meetings i am also the secretary which means i will make minutes as i did of the previous meeting and i also put these as fast as possible in the project folder so you can see them and review what we have discussed if i am right there are 3 presentations i guess each one of you has prepared one yes good and we will also take a look at new project requirements if you have not heard about them yet and then of course we have to take a decision on the remote control functions and we have some more time 40 minutes but i think we will need it well i do not know who wants to go 1st with his presentation i will go 1st okay yeah i will go 1st yeah well you can go 1st okay well shall i go 1st with the users well everybody already has his presentation so you can adjust it i think well okay no problem is there an order i have not ja precies ja precies ja precies so huh okay and one question your name denni is it with a e i e i e e i e okay thank you okay i wanted to explain the working design of the remote control it is possibly very handy if you want to design one of those well so it basically works as i r wrote down in this little summary when you press a button that is when you do pr for example when you want to turn up the volume a little connection is made the the rubber button just presses on a sorry on a little print plate which makes a connection that gives the chips which is mounted beneath those that plastic of a rubber button senses that a connection has been made and know and knows what button you pressed becau for example the the volume up or volume down button the the chip makes a morse code like signal which then is si signaled to several transistors which makes which sends the signal to a little let you know what a let is yeah okay and that makes the the infra red lights signal which is sent to the television set which has a sensor in it to sense the signal of the infra red that is basically how it works the findings that i found searching up some detailed information about the remote controls are that they are very easy to produce it is pis it is possible to make them in mass production because it is as eas it is as easy as printing a page just fiberglass plate is b is covered with some coatings and and chips and the technology is already available we do not have to find out how remote controls have to work or how that how to make some chips that are possible to to to transmit those signals i made a little animation of about how a tran our remote controller works 0 right animation we tel there is something turning there yeah it is a little bug it is in the in the smart board okay well the sub component i suppose that you understand what a sub component is is f in this example it is the button when it is pressed down the switch is ter is is switched on so with the wire is sent to the to the chip in co operation with the battery of course because to make a a signal possible you have to have some sort of li a d ad electronic infrared light yes okay w after it is being composed by the chip the signal is transported to the infra red bulb and from there it signals a morse code like signal to the to the b to the bulb in in the television set okay s i wrote down some personal preferences about the remote control of course it is very handy if the remote control is hand held so you do not have to wind it up or something or just is it is it is very light to to make to use it i personally pref prefer that it would be p come available in the various colors and easy to use buttons but i suppose that the one of the other team members thought of that too yeah i have got it there too and it is possible for several designs and easy to use b sorry easy to use buttons perhaps soft touch touch screen buttons because the rubber buttons are always they slightly they can be slightly damaged so the numbers on the buttons are not possible to read anymore and well as i said before th we can make several designs yeah okay well that is my contribution to this meeting and to this meeting okay thank you 2 of these this meeting shall i go next yep so kay please so smoking well my name is and i looked at technical functions design of the remote i did this by looking at examples of other remote controls of how they they look and information from the web that i found well what i found was that th the actual use of the remote control is to send messages to television set how you d what you described just early and this can be all sorts of medsa messages turn it on turn it off change the channel adjust volume that kind of thing play video teletext but also t play c d if you use it your c d player the remote control will that one there are some examples of remote controls you can see they are very different the one has got all the functions that you could possibly need and an lot of buttons etcetera and the other is more user friendly little with big buttons and not n all the the the the stuff you can do with it but the the essential stuff is there i guess you could better y you should look at a a user centered approach because the customers have to use them and and if they do not think it is usable they will not buy it a lot of buttons they may think from i do not need s as much as that well perf personal preferences is is a simple remote with the basic functions that you can need that you could use but keep in mind the new functions of t v what we discussed earlier split screen and is that a function that you should have because all the t v s will have them or because of only a few and is not really necessary and then make it i would make so that you can could use it on more than one appliance if you have one that does with the vi the the video it could also work with with the stereo because play is play and stop stop and that sort of thing the shu c you could reuse the buttons so that you do not have to have a lot of buttons for anything and it should be a user friendly clear buttons and not too much and that is my presentation okay thank you okay kay check you must still have it open kijke kay so we are going to j discuss the functional requirements of the remote that m that means that functions user n want to have on the remote control or just yeah and the users actually the methods i i prefer is we are going to look which section of the users we are going to focus a l on more are the younger people going to buy the remote control or the elderly people and then tho that section we are going to focus and adjust the remote more to that section than the whole user section okay some data younger people from 16 to thir 45 years are more interested in fj features like l c d screens speech recognition e etcetera and we possess about 23rd of the market from in that range of age the elderly people from 45 years to 65 years are not that much interested in features and we possess less than 23rd that is 25th of the market share in that area goed so kay findings 50% of the users lose their remote often so we do not have to make it very small like like a mobile phone or something yeah but some somewhat bi bigger than small so you do not lose it that much anymore 75% of the users also find it ugly and fif 75 of the users zap a lot so the buttons sh should be that small or should not be that complex because we have to search for the buttons which one are you going to use next important issues about the remote i think it would be better with a personal reference but okay remote control has to have to have a low power usage because s w 75% of the users only zap one time an hour so the power usage is also 11 time an hour or so with a high power usage we would use a lot of but batteries the volume button and the channel buttons are the 2 most important buttons on the remote control so those they those have to h be find very easily and have to be somewhat like bigger etcetera it has also be have to find easily when the label is gone my colleague also announced it that labels should be scratched off or would be s senden okay so if that is k if that is the problem you also have to find it easily on the remote buttons like what all colleagues said have to have to be minimalized or should be covered or in l c d screen l c d screen is easy because we have the l c d screen we have the various options put one option and then you have the all the buttons of that options so the other options would be gone and you do not see the buttons so l c d screens should be easy but an l c d screen the problem with the l sc l c d screen is that elderly people fr from 45 to for 65 years do not use the l c d screen a lot so we have to that keep that in mind that if you are going to implement l c d screen you do not have to make it that hard to learn or to use l c d screen as in touch screen yeah touch screen yeah okay the last but not least younger people are more critical about the features because they use the remote control often more often and are more technical than the ol older people and the older people spend more money and easily on a remote control kay so we have to keep in mind to to focus not a lot not that much on the younger pep younger people but also somewhat on the elderly people and on my personal preferences i do not have any mo more time to come with that but like i said l c d screen is easily to use because you have you can implement a lot of buttons in one remote with not that much buttons and it should be easy to use especially the volume buttons the channel buttes buttons and the number buttons to zap through the channels and that is it okay okay thank you 0 right well thank you all huh i dunno did everyone receive an email with the new project requirements no no well res i did not no perhaps the rest then i think it is a good thing that i made a separate slide of them so you can ja all read them 0 well not in this presentation should be in there well i can tell you them from my laptop teletext does has become outdated since the popularity of the internet 0 so that is the 1st thing we i think we should pay less attention to teletext the remote control should only be used for the television otherwise the project becomes more complex which endangers the time to market and of course would make it more costly i think our current customers are within the age group of 40 plus and new product should reach a new market with customers that are younger than 40 and you talked about that before and a last point but also very important our corporate image should stay recognizable in our products which means that our corporate color and slogan must be implemented in the new design so we have to keep that in mind well according to our agenda it is then time to take a decision on the remote control functions so who has any idea about what should be on it and what should not well you said it should only work with one appliance be television or with one d che only the t v yeah yeah only be used for television and the video also or not only the television well it says only for television here huh 0 alright makes it a lot easier huh okay yeah so yeah then you can yeah requirements no functions then it should have on off and yeah for yeah the basics then by a volume channel one till 20 numbers on it 0 teletext does not have to be standby options yeah yeah yeah and per perhaps no other functions well yes yes s sh a button where you can change from one number to 2 numbers yeah i had 2 s 22 digits 0 okay yeah yeah can you do not know if that has got a name but yeah i understand what you mean i think it is i think it is easy to implement a button with a s s what which especially do that because some t v s yeah if you press the t one and then the 2 it be between 5 secs it make 12 and that is that is not relaxed it makes it 12 yeah yeah indeed s okay well not really and and there are some models that do not accommodate that function to user yeah so d wh the philip is television makes it possible in that indeed to press one and then 2 to make the tj to reach channel 12 so that it easy and fast yeah but all the television makes use of those button where you 1st press that button and then press 2 digits to to get yeah yeah yeah so you should have that one on yeah think so our main targets age are were 45 plus or mute misschien also well new product should reach a market with customers that are younger than 40 and now we have current customers of 40 plus 40s okay because because younger people as younger people have now 16 till to 25 age are f 81% interested in l c d screen from 26 to 35 have 66% and 36 to 4555% so i think to because on most recog remote controls the print plate will be broken how much 2 years you have to press h very hard to go to the next channel with the l c d screen it is easier because you only have to wipe the screen to for fingerprint and then you can use it again yeah we we could yeah but i think that that collides with our mission to make it very cheap because l c d screens are very expensive yeah okay yeah but a you do not know a touch screen probably even more an so true true true but well is it possible to make an l c d screen how was the information yeah it only says that this perce percentage like l c d screen because yeah and it says that younger age between 16 and 45 highly interesting features more critical so perhaps we should we should focus on that l c d screen and if the only f yeah because our target is 16 to 45 but do you yeah but will we not exceed our our production yeah you do not know how much it costs yeah you do not know how much it costs the l c d screen is it possible to find out anyway no i do not have any costs here i only have percentages you know but if you would do an l c d screen do we have don do not you have any buttons or because if it only directs at the t v then you only have i do not know what you want to do with the l c d screen yeah no an l c d screen is just like like a drawn here just displays several buttons for example if you wanted the minimal use b buttons yeah such as channel and volume you just h displays 4 buttons on the screen and it is possible to p press them down just like a touch screen 0 right so you can 0 yeah alright so you can adjust which buttons you want on that s screen yeah if you want to adjust like for example adjust the audio settings yeah we can make it possible to do that yeah you press audio on the touchscreen and you get the buttons for audio settings so the other buttons are gone yeah yeah yeah alright 0 right yeah yeah yeah so we are going for an l c d screen yeah i think it is the most easier thing yeah would be yeah that is my and hoping that when we produce a lot it will not be too expensive no yeah well we had 1250 i guess for production yeah 1250 yeah i dunno how expensive an l c d screen is any guesses well i suppose wi if the mar if our if the i if the young people are interested in l c d screens we should make em highly and if that is our d market share to and our goal to deliver those remote controls yeah but but he also said that we should not only focus on the younger people but also on the older and will they use it if it only has an l c d screen yeah but s 46 to 4533% and 6056 to 6512% but our our our what is it project requirements are the new products should be reached for new markets to customers that are younger than 40 0 so still a little bit people yeah yeah that is right but you do not want to alienate the other no that not now but so but if they also buy it then it is alright i guess yeah but market share fro for for 40 years and younger is higher than that of 65 and younger yeah yeah alright okay so l c d it is an yes okay it is treasure and what else i hope we h and let us hope to reach those those sales yeah i i if it yeah if it costs gets too much too expensive then yeah we should be sticking to rubber buttons yeah yeah can you s i think that that they will send you some information about the cost of l c d screens n nothing no costs at all yeah so if you yeah so if you you receive an email about that but perhaps later so can you post it in the or should not we post that in our projects mail folder yeah in i think that should yeah i think we all get the costs of everything yeah i do not because you are the the marketing expert yeah okay i will i will post it i well perhaps we should have a backup plan that we would use buttons if it is too expensive yeah sure sure yeah yeah okay but for now it is l c d okay l c d yeah yeah okay then you have the 75% of users find it r ugly the l c d yeah and 80% of the users would spend more money with a when a remote would look fancy 0 that is a bit of a problem 0 that is a bit of a problem tha i l i it will look fancy with l c d screen it is looks fancy one yeah of l c d screen yeah but they do not they do not like it yeah yeah they think it is ugly when it has an l c d screen yeah just a the plain remotes not not specific l c d remotes 0 alright i thought that you said that so yeah and maybe you can make something fancy out of an l c d remote because it is new as far as i know yeah yeah of course yeah and then you have the other thing that 75% zap a lot but that is not a f question with the l c d screen and then not yeah only thing you have to do is wipe the screen off once each time to get all the fingerprints off it yeah yeah okay okay what else does our remote need a mute button mute button i think the most important things on a f on an on an remote control are channel selection volume con selection and yeah and power s power usage yeah and a teletext but that is not of the question but other things are but should not you put a button of for teletext on the for the people who want to use it sorry yeah it could be remembering we have got a big remote that you have to fill yeah yeah and we could make an a a separate menu on the l c d screen for teletext yeah teletext yeah yeah and there is also a and other other less important things are screen settings audio settings and channel settings but yeah they are less important but i think they should be there or not less important yeah should be there but not press yeah sub menu yeah a sh but in a sub sub menu or something like that i think it is also important to make it possible to how do you call it in english to not use batteries and use ac bat batteries to to be yeah yeah sure like with a with a mouse you have not yeah indeed so you can mount the the the yeah in a breath it is the remote control to charted we should think of the 1250 we have but to refill the yeah but we do not we do not have any costs now so yeah i do not know how much that is going to yeah okay because i when you get an l c d screen you run it on batteries the batteries will be empty very soon very fast yeah yeah e e power supply is one of the most important things you should perhaps you should be able to to switch the control off yeah if you have an l c d screen that is burns all the time i dunno yeah yeah yeah you should not on and off because that is ver extra that you have t 1st you have to turn the remote on and then you can i do not know yeah i think it is it is not that easy because i do not think people will like it who who that you have to turn it on 1st and then use it nee that is that is yeah so i think it is better when th the t v shuts down the remote shuts down but then you can not and go to standby mode when you do not use it so that yeah yeah yeah yeah au automac matically that it yeah yeah automatically yeah after 2 minutes or 3 minutes something like that after 2 minutes yeah 23 minutes yeah yeah yeah and maybe a low battery indicator yeah on the screen sure yeah and then b that before an hour when its get again gets empty yeah then you have plenty of time to recharge it of put it in a recharger charger so we are going for the for the recharger yeah yeah if it is okay if it is sensible yeah because when you are watching t v you are zapping and you have to put it in a recharger and i do not think it yeah yeah b when the batteries are low no when you when you are done with s w watching your television you have to put it yeah okay but then we have to be sure that the the the the batteries go hours 6 hours 56 hours then yeah sure of course but you will also forget to put it in because you throw it on the couch and you do not remember yeah then you have a problem yeah but but you also forget to buy batteries and then you can you can not use it so i yeah that is right yeah or we have to be sure that the batteries last couple of days when they are recharged yeah so well i think the batteries should should w should work a lot longer than a couple of days or not yeah because you have b but you have l c d screen cause yeah that is right but high power usage high power user cell i it should be a standard move to to put your remote control in the charger when you are done watching television yes that is also a a a great advantage because you can not lose it anymore because you are obliged to put it in the charger and not to leave it in a couch between some cushions true yeah yeah true yeah right okay yeah you made a point there but then you also have to s have somewhere where you can put a remo recharger near your couch because otherwise you have to walk a long way when you twoft want to turn on the t v yeah also yeah otherwise all your yeah just a small device yeah yeah it has not it does not have to be big plug it in that is it i think everything has it for and i guess yeah like a like telephone charger or something yeah just just a cable or a even a a a a a charger where you can mount it on yeah yeah something like that just u yeah okay alright okay well i have it has to be easy to use also or things yeah you have some more points market share speaker re speech recognition i think functional designs for the elderly you could make it possible to enlarge the screen so make it possible to not display a button at 10 points or also well i think that this should be standard large button large buttons yeah but it is one of the functions you have to specify yeah okay because we can look at perhaps 40 buttons at a screen but the elderly only look at 2 buttons okay and you said something about speech recognition yeah it says also yeah speech recognition hello €12 €12 50 yeah 12501250 12 that is an also 91% 16 to 25 26 to 35 years 76% and 36 to 4535% so it is pretty big well spread it by a big market but then i i i even bigger than for l c d yeah yeah w i know let us do a speech well let us leave out all the remote controls and just put a microphone on top of the television to yeah yeah yeah 90 25 you can clap or something yeah yeah channel turn volume up yeah hey that that is an idea now you should not say the wrong thing i dunno yeah okay well that should it has to be remote control not yeah 12 yeah but they want to talk into the remo remote control or something or yeah sure why not why not is this only would you would you pay more for speech recognition in a remote control it is the only thing it says yeah 0 but do we want to implement that or i think an l c d screen should be suf sufficient yeah but when you look at the percentages yeah it says a lot but perhaps the options should be speech recognition scores even higher huh why not yeah well maybe because of the cost but nobody knows how much it will cost why not yeah let us hope to have some d i know no i think i think it is better to have l l c d screen because in the area of tw 36 to 45 we have about 30% of the market share in in our hands and 55 of those people want l c d screen and 35 want speech recognition so i think it is better to keep it with l c d screen but would it be useful to imple implement both yeah if the costs al allow it on one remote well or yeah i dunno i do not know if that can be done with the cost of 1250 nee with that if it should be done if it could be done i will not matter yeah but how would you like to implement that that you say volume up and then it goes up or we should do it yeah yeah sure yeah yeah certain systems already exist i think then you also have to have different languages if we go international then it is y it is yours to do a french and dutch and english and true true yeah yeah true yeah but that should also be with f should be also with l c d screen this should be accommodated with some software yeah because then i think in chinese is different written volume is different written than swahili or something yeah that is right yeah right swahili yeah you can use icons for the swahili yeah ja well possible a speaker and indeed but if that is better than language for the for the remote yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so we want to yeah it is international okay then it is yeah okay kay what else so no speech recognition or well if it could be done we yeah we have to keep yeah y it should be done if it could be done should be done yeah yeah and then we have different languages yeah that should be anything matters that is not so difficult at all because i already use on several voice operated systems and they are all possible to not all but okay just make a separate remote for each well you sh you should to adjust the thing i think it is difficult every language of dialects yeah i think it is very differen difficult and you have to speak the so that it can understand yeah i think it can not be implemented but maybe you could use that n as an option if you have money left or something yeah is an option yes yeah sure indeed €50 cents yeah let us do speech yeah for speech recognition okay so we only do this when we have enough money left yeah okay well i have written down an an on or off button volume selection channel selection the digits from one to 0 huh or from 0 to 9 a digits button to switch between one and 2 digits mute button a separate menu for teletext a battery indicator we are going to use a docking station and probably l c d and if there is enough money speech recognition and the possibility to enlarge buttons or to have large buttons yes yeah i with teletext if it was not ver very important it was but you also now have colors in general no but i do not know if we should implement that curved yeah when you press the red button you go to page 102 and when you press the yeah i do not know if we should implement that because it says that teletext not really important but yeah the shortcut and you can not go to sport s shortcuts i think we should we could that we could also implement a audio settings screen settings and channel settings but as sub menus yeah d mainly if you turn the remote control on you have to u you have to see from one till 0 channel and volume and if you want to use teletext screen or audio then you can press it sh yeah just just sub menu it should be available but not yeah cause it should be there not directly available not yeah yeah okay okay so not too much teletext support but in a separate menu and yeah so actually it is there but it is just not r ready there yeah but s directly available yeah so does it confuse the user you will have to search for it they would have to be easy to use i will search if you want to use teletext you can push the teletext button and then the options become available yeah yeah that is a the sign of it okay but no more buttons or functions or no no i guess not what else can you do with a television we have got anon are not we forgetting something very important have got got 2 examples here but i do not think there is anything we are missing play pause does not n need to be there well we do not have the video orders yes so this is your presentation we could check the other remote controls with technical functions yeah you could look here all the the which ones were yours th th th th i do not know technical functions techni they are a bit small you can we should stretch them because ping ja ja ja ja ja technical functions yeah okay i guess we have got them all i think i go to have volume mute but i yeah very slow yeah the zoom buttons and for a t v yeah b wide screen high screen different things you have yeah different yeah can you zoom in a t v or that you can put em on on on wide and yeah but that should also be a sub then a sub menu thing menu yeah it should be available but then in separate screen settings or something yeah so we should also implement se screen settings yeah screen settings audio settings teletext settings you have 0 right yeah channel settings yeah so you can program the so those 4 and of course the main yeah so the 1st you see the main and the other ones you can go to yeah yeah like tap screens or something or i dunno yeah i hope we can do this something there are a lot of options depending on what kind of television you got yeah if cause if you do not got a wide screen television you do not need the the screen settings for no you do not yu a no you then you do not no ni do not then you do not use it yeah and if the television does not support such operations we do not have to use that top yeah yeah yeah so you leave it alone yeah yeah or it could be possible to have a a standard version of the remote an expanded version yeah and do we want them in different colors or yeah and and the buttons should they have colors colors yeah colors i think the main color of the remote control is the color of the l c d screen 0 but we do not have any buttons yeah i because we do not want a lot a devi yeah a device self s g yeah yeah then defines itself because how many percent 80% they think it is ugly right would spend more money if it looks fancy okay so use very lot of peo perhaps you can make adjustable fronts like with the telephones adjust with phones yes you can but i do not think that okay €12 50 well make it available in different colors you mean sure yeah yeah red white blue black rasta colors and a see through gray yeah sea view yes simpson is versions and yeah yeah see through version yeah if you press a button it turns green yeah okay well that is the leave a disco version 5 minutes signal for las final 5 minutes so i have the things i just read then we have separate menus for teletext screen settings audio settings and what else yeah channel settings 0 yeah right channel settings so you can program the t v yeah okay perhaps you should you would throw them on on in one pile so options and then you sub them yeah otherwise you have all those teletext perhaps teletext not but could be possible or like you have a menu button you press yeah or otherwise you have a menu button no we said teletext also a separate menu yeah but i press menu then you have main menu search all the all the settings yeah yeah okay but we can work that out later i guess but yeah no problem so we are having a a general menu with the most used functions teletext screen settings yep audio settings channel settings and maybe there are options for the remote itself like large icons or small icons and i do not know i think b because we do not have a lot of buttons on the one screen i do not know what else but no i think the buttons yeah but but or like you have you only have channel button or volume button or do we have any buttons on the remote which one those buttons you can you can but that is also in the l c d right yeah but on the l c d huh yeah right yeah okay yeah th so we do not have any normal buttons that no alright no no normal buttons yeah maybe only the on and 0 on and off button yet on and off is p is perhaps you kno but we do not need a special we do not need a special options menu for the remote itself not button but i do not think no no no okay 0 well you should be able to set which t v you have if you have if you have yeah sure of course you need a settings button or a settings option for the remote control yeah but is not idea to use what you said normal on and off button for the t v that you do not have to use a no no no because we we discussed that you could charge it otherwise is it it jumps to stand by mode automatically yeah but but not for the remote but for the t v that you use yeah but a t v of course th that is the i think that is a best thing is that to implement that one in the menu with the volume and channel but a not as normal button in the l c d yeah no well maybe there should be a separate button apart from the l c d because you can not turn it on when the l c d is off so how do you turn the thing on there has to be a on button on the remote huh no you just tap i think yeah you tap just tap it touch screen yeah then it is turn turn off turn on tap the thing okay and then the television is on also or just the remote no just the remote a television do not have to be on that one you can press on yeah stand by sure but yeah it should be in standby mode but then press on remote press on and then t v should be available yeah a yeah or not i do not know whether it is handy to have a n a normal on button a r just rubber for for t v so you can turn it on and then you can choose the channel separate otherwise you i do not know whether or not that is a a a normal button on the remote control or norm yeah yeah to turn it on of or you should put it in the l c d screen yeah because when you touch the l c d screen when it is in standby mode it should pop on yeah i have yeah okay well wh why would it be a a need to have a normal button well i i guess if you use the l c d screen you 1st have to search where is the on button then you you you then turn it and then the t v goes on but if you have a normal on button on the on the remote then you do the on and then you search the channel which you want yeah but i think the re the remote control if you press tap the screen it always should jump to the screen which has the volume button channel button and of course of also the on and off button 0 right i think it looks a lot more fancy if you use if you do not have any buttons on the s on on remote control yeah i think so too otherwise y wet e k yeah yeah yeah so actually we are going to create a a button less remote yeah no buttons at all okay well that is might be a unique selling point huh for a remote if we can afford it okay well i guess we have to yeah if we can afford it 0 okay yeah postpone further discussion to our next meeting because we are running out of time for now we are having a lunch break 0 and then there will be half an hour for the next share of individual work i will write minutes if i can create them out of this and put them in the the project documents folder and here are the individual actions for the for the other roles and of course specific instructions will be sent to you again by your personal coach alright luckily as we are okay well thank you very much for now and have a nice lunch huh lunch okay food should we put this back in our rooms or yeah think so yeah
hello good morning again again coffee marketing expert the world is question 0 yeah get that submit submit how full effort all set good okay okay let us see what we can find here okay a very warm welcome again to everyone here we are already in our functional design meeting and this is what we are going to do the opening which we are doing now on a special note i am project manager but on the meetings i am also the secretary which means i will make minutes as i did as a previous meeting and i will also put these as fast as possible in the project folder so you can see them and review what we have discussed if i am right there are 3 presentations i guess each one of you has prepared one good and we will also take a look at new project requirements if you have not heard about them yet and then of course we have to take a decision on the remote control functions and we have some more time 40 minutes but i think we will need it well i do not know who wants to go 1st with his presentation i will go 1st okay shall i go 1st with the users i think everybody already has his presentation so he can adjust it okay and one question your name denny is it with a e a a e a okay thank you okay i wanted to explain the working design of a remote control it is possibly very handy if you want to design one of those well it basically works as i wrote down in this little summary when you press a button that is when you do for example when you want to turn up the volume a little connection is made rubber button just presses on a little print plate which makes a connection that gives the chips which is mounted beneath those plastic of a rubber button sense that connection has been made and knows what button you press for example the volume up or volume down button the chip makes more scrolls makes a morse code like signal which then is signaled to several transistors which sends the signal to a little lead you know what a let is okay and that makes the infrared light signal which is sent to the television set which has a sensor in it to sense the signal of the infrared that is basically how it works the findings that i found searching up some detail information about the remote controls are that they are very easy to produce this piece is possible to make them in mass production because it is as easy as printing a page just a fiberglass plate is covered with covered with some coatings and chips and the technology is already available we do not have to find out how remote controls have to work or how to make some chips that are possible to to transmit those signals i made a little animation about how i turned our remote control all the works in the mission there is something turning yeah it is a little bug it is in the smart board okay well the sub component i suppose that you understand what the sub component is in this example it is the button when it is pressed down the switch is switched on so with the wire is sent to the chip in cooperation with a battery cooperation with the battery of course because to make a signal possible you have to have some sort of electronic infrared life yes okay after it is being composed by a chip the signal is transported to the infrared bulb and from there it signals a morse code like signal to the to the bulb in the television set i wrote down some personal preferences about the remote control of course it is very handy if the remote control is handheld so you do not have to wind it up or something it is very light to make to use it i personally prefer that it would become available in various colors and easy to use buttons but i suppose that the ones but i suppose that one of the other team members thought of that too and it is possible for several designs and easy to use buttons perhaps soft touch touch screen buttons because the rubber buttons are always they can be slightly damaged so the numbers on the buttons are not possible to read anymore and as i said before we can make several different can make several designs okay well that is my contribution to this meeting and this meeting okay thank you can i go next yep okay please so smoked well my name is imke de jong and i looked at the technical functions design of the remote i did this by looking at examples of other remote controls of how they look and information from the web that i found well what i found was that the actual use of remote control is to send messages to a television set how you did what you described just early and this can be all sorts of messages turn it on turn it off change the channel adjust volume that kind of thing play video text but also play cd if you know if you use your cd player the remote control there are some examples of remote controls you can see they are very different the one has got all the functions that you could possibly need and a lot of buttons et cetera and the other is more user friendly little with big buttons and not all the stuff you can do with it but the essential stuff is there i guess you could better you should should look at a user centered approach because the customers have to use them and if they do not think it is usable they will not buy it a lot of buttons they may think from i do not need as much as that personal preferences is a simple remote with the basic functions that you can need that you could use but keep in mind the new functions of tv what we discussed earlier split screen and is that a function that you should have because all the tvs will have them or because of only a few and is not really necessary and then make it i would make so that you can use it on more than one appliance if you have one that does with the video it could also work with the stereo because play is play and stop stop and that thing you could reuse the buttons so that you do not have to have a lot of buttons for anything and it should be user friendly clear buttons and not too much and that is my presentation ok thank you ok check okay so we are going to discuss the functional requirements of the remote that means that functions user want to have on the remote control or just the users actually the method i prefer is we are going to look which section of the users we are going to focus a lot more are the younger people going to buy the remote control or the elderly people and that section we are going to focus and adjust the remote more to that section than the whole user section okay some data younger people from 16 to 45 years are more interested in features like lcd screens speech recognition etc and to possess about 23rd of the market from in that range of age the elderly people from 45 years to 65 years are not that much interested in features and we possess less than 23rd that is 25th of the market share in that area findings 50% of the users lose a remote often so we do not have to make it very small very small like a mobile phone or something but somewhat bigger than small so you do not lose that much anymore 75% of the users also find it ugly and 75 users have a lot so the buttons should be that small or should not be that complex because you have to search for the buttons which one you are going to use next important issues about the remote i think it would be better with the personal reference but okay remote control has to have a low power usage because 75% of the users only step one time an hour so the power usage is also one time an hour so with a high power usage we would use a lot of batteries the volume button and the channel buttons are the most important buttons under the remote control so those have to be found very easily and have to be somewhat like bigger etc it has also be have to find easily when the label is gone my colleague also knows that the label should be scratched off or be offer slated and so if that is the problem you also also problem you also have to find it easily on the remote buttons like my all of the colleagues said have to have to be minimalized or should be covered or in the lcd screen the lcd screen is easy because you have the other options put one option and then you have all the buttons of that options so the other options would be gone and you do not see the buttons so lcd screen should be easy but an lcd screen the problem with lcd screen is that elderly people from 45 to 65 years do not use the lcd screen a lot so we have to keep that in mind that if you are going to implement lcd screen do not have to make it that hard to learn or to use lcd screen as in touchscreen yeah touchscreen yeah the last but at least younger people are more critical about the features because they use the remote control often more often and are more technical than the older people and the older people spend more money and easily on the remote control so we have to keep in mind to focus not a lot not that much on the younger people but also somewhat on the elderly people and on my personal references i do not have any more time to come with that but like i said lcd screen is easily to use because you have you can implement a lot of buttons in one remote with not that much buttons and it should be easy to use especially the volume bottles the channel buttons and the number buttons to step through the channels and that is it okay thank you well thank you all i do not know did everyone receive an email with the new project requirements no yes i did not perhaps the rest then i think it is a good thing that i made a separate slide separate slide of them so you can all read them 0 not in this presentation should be in there well i can tell you them from my laptop teletext this has become outdated since the popularity of the internet so that is the 1st thing i think we should pay less attention to teletext the remote control should only be used for the television otherwise the project becomes more complex which which endangers the time to market and of course will make it more costly i think our current customers are within the age group of 40 plus new products should reach a new market with customers that are younger than 40 and you talked about it before and a last point but also very important our corporate image should stay recognizable in our products which means that our corporate color and slogan must be implemented in the new design so we have to keep that in mind well according to our agenda it is then time to take a decision on the remote control functions so who has any idea what should be on it and what should not well you said it should only with one appliance or with one they say only the tv yeah only be used for television and video also or not 0 it says only for television here all right okay makes it a lot easier yeah so yeah then you can yeah requirements no functions then it should have the on off yeah stand by yeah volume channel one till 20 numbers on it and the text does not have to be other functions yeah i had you can change from one number to 2 numbers yeah yeah i do not know what a name i think it is easy to improve i think it is easy to implement a button with especially do that because some tvs if you press the one and then the 2 it makes it 12 between 5 seconds you make 12 and that is not relaxed right and there are some models that do not accommodate that function so the phillips television makes it possible in that indeed to +one and then 2 to make the easy to reach channel 12 all the television makes use of those buttons where you 1st press that button and then press 2 digits to get it is good our main targets age are were 45 plus or well new products reach a market with customers that are younger than 40 and now we have okay because younger people was younger people have now 16 to 25 age are 81% interest in lcd screen from 26 to 35 or 66% and 36 to 45% and 35% so i think to because on most remote controls the print plate will be broken in how much 2 years you have to press very hard to go to the next channel with the ledd screen it is easier because you only have to wipe the screen for the fingerprint and then you can use the game collides with our mission to make it very cheap because lcd screens are very expensive touch screen probably even more true true but it is possible to make an lcd screen how was the information yeah it only says that this percentage like lcd screen because yeah it says that and it says that younger age between 16 and 45 highly interesting features more critical so perhaps we should we should focus on that lcd screen yeah because our target is 16 to 45 yeah but will we not exceed our production yeah you do not know how much it costs is it possible to find out anyway no i do not have any costs here i only have percentages but if you would do an lcd steam do not you have any buttons because if it only direct at the tv then you only have i do not know what you want to do an lcd screen is just like a drone here it just displays several buttons for example if you want the minimal use buttons such as channel and volume it just displays 4 buttons on the screen and it is possible to press them down just like a touchscreen so you can adjust which buttons you want on them so you can make it possible to do that for example adjust the audio settings press audio on the touchscreen and you get the buttons for the audio settings so the other buttons are gone yeah yeah so we are going for an lcd screen yeah i think it is the most easy yeah and hoping that when we produce a lot it will not be too expensive no we had 1250 i guess for production yeah i do not know how expensive  any guess well i suppose if the if the young people are interested in lcd screens we should make them and if that is our market share to our goal to deliver those remote we also said that we should not only focus on the younger people but also not the older will they use it if it only has an lcd screen 46 to 45 32% and 65 56 to 65 12% 26 to 65 12% but our project requirements are the new products should be reached for new markets with customers that are younger than 40 but you do not want to alienate the other no that is not now but if they also buy it then it is alright yeah but market share for 40 years and younger is higher than that of 65 and younger all right okay so also it is yes okay what else yeah if it gets too much to expensive then yeah we should be sticking to rubber buttons yeah can you i think that they will send you some information about the cost of lcd screens no costs at all so if you receive an email about that can you post it in the or should we post that in our project map folder i think that should i think we all get the costs of everything because you are the marketing yeah i will post it we should have a backup plan that we would use but it is too expensive yeah but for now lcd yeah then you have the 75% of users find it ugly the lcd yeah that is a bit of the problem and 80% of the users would spend more money with a remote would look fancy 0 this is a bit it looks fancy with the lcd screen yeah but they do not like it they think it is ugly when it has an lcd yeah they are just the play remotes not specific lcd remotes 0 all right i thought then you said that yeah maybe you can make something fancy out of an lcd remote because it is new as far as i know yeah of course and then you have the other thing that is 75% sap a lot but that is not a question with the lcd screen the only thing you have to do is wipe the screen to do is wipe the screen off once in the time to get all your fingerprints off it okay okay what else does our remote need a mute button mute button the most important things on a remote control are channel selection volume selection and power usage and the tailor text but that is not of the question the question other things are for the people want to use it yeah we have got a big remote yeah we could make a separate menu on the lcd teletext yeah there is also less important things are screen settings audio settings and channel settings yeah it should be there but not but in a sub press menu yeah i think it is not i think it is also important to make it possible to to not use batteries and use acuacubteries to be like with the mouse yeah sure indeed so you can mount the remote control to charge it we should think of the 1250 we have yeah but we do not have any cost so okay because when you get an lcd screen you run it on batteries yeah batteries will be very soon post py is one of the most important things perhaps you should be able to switch the control off if you have an lcd screen that burns all the time so yeah yeah you should on an off the bus that is where extra that you have 1st to turn the remote on and then you can yeah i think it is not that easy because i do not think people would like it who that you have to turn it on 1st and then use it so i think it is better when the tv shuts down the remote shuts down and go to stand by mode when you do not use it yeah automatically yeah automatically after 2 minutes or 3 minutes yeah and maybe a low battery indicator yeah on the screen sure that before an hour when it gets empty they have plenty of time to recharge it or put it in a recharge it charter so we are going for the rechargeer yeah is it slim is it is it sensible yeah because when you are watching tv you are zapping and you have to put it in a recharge no when you are done with yeah we have to be sure that the batteries go hours 6 hours 56 hours but you also forget to put it in yeah then you have a problem but you are on the couch and you do not but you also forget to buy batteries yeah and then you can not use it so i or we have to be sure that the batteries last couple of days when they are searched so i think the batteries should should work a lot longer than a couple of days yeah because you have lcd screen yeah that is a high power usage high power usage it should be a standard move to put your remote control in the charger when you are done watching television that is also a great advantage because you can not lose it anymore because you are obliged to put in the charger and not to leave it in your couch between some cushions okay you made a point there but then you also have to have somewhere where you can put your charger near your couch because otherwise you have to walk along when you turn on the tv just a small device like a telephone charger or something just the cable or even a charger when you can mount it on something like that just you know okay okay it has to be easy to use also artflings market share speaker speech recognition professional designs for the elderly you could make it possible to enlarge the screen to make it possible to not display button at 10 points i think that this would be standard but it is one of our functions you have to specify because we can look at perhaps 40 buttons at the screen but in the elderly only look at 2 buttons okay and you said something about speech recognition yeah it says speech recognition yeah 12 50 that is also 91% 16 to 25 26 to 35 years 76% and 36 to 45 35% that is pretty big that is pretty big even bigger than for lcd yeah let us do speech let us leave out all the remote controls and just put a microphone on the television 90 you can clap or something turn volume up hey that is no idea do you say the wrong thing yeah okay well that should it has to be the remote control now yeah remote but they want to talk into the remote control or something why not we must pay more for speech recognition in a remote control it is the only thing it says do we want to implement that i think the lcd screen should be sufficient but when you look at the percentages yeah it says a lot perhaps the option should be yeah even higher why not why not maybe because of the cost but nobody knows how much i think it is better to have lcd screen because in the area of 36 to 45 we have about 30% of the market share in our hands and 55 of those people want lcd screen and 35 on speaker recognition so i think it is better to keep it with lcd screen both yeah with the cost so allow it i do not know that can be done with the cost of 12 50s if it should be done if it could be done yeah how would you like to implement that that you say volume up and then certain systems already exist i think then you also have to have different languages if we go international true it is true french and dutch and english but that should it should be accommodated with some software it should be also with lcd screen because i think it is chinese it is different written volume is different written than in sahili or something sohili you can use icons for the speaker and the that is better than language for the remote so you want to yeah it is international okay okay what else so no speech recognition or well if it could if it could be done with it should be done it could be done and it should be done yeah and then with different languages yeah that should be that is not so difficult you know i already use several voice operated systems and they are all possible to no but i think it is difficult every language you have dialects yeah i think it is very difficult you have to speak so that it can understand i think it can not be it can not be implemented but maybe we could use that as an option yes an option yes money left or something €50 cents let us do speech speech recognition okay so we only do that when we have enough money left yeah okay well i have written down an on or off button volume selection channel selection digits from one to 0 or from 0 to 9 or from 0 to 9 a digit button to switch between one and 2 digits mute button a separate menu for teletext a battery indicator we are going to use a docking station and probably lcd and if there is enough money speech recognition and the possibility to enlarge buttons or to have large buttons with teletext it was not really important important no you also now have colors i do not know if we should implement that when you press the red button you go to page 102 and i press the i do not know if we should implement that because it says that teletext not really important yeah the shortcut i think we could also implement the audio settings screen settings and channel settings but at submenus yeah mainly if you turn the remote control on you have to see one till 0 channel and volume and if you want to use teletext screen or audio then you can press it it should be available but not directly available yeah okay okay so not too much that text support but in a separate menu so actually it is there but it is not really there so it does not confuse the user uses the user we have to be easy to use i will search if you want to use teletext you can put the teletext button and then the options become available yeah that is right okay but no more buttons or functions or what else can you do with tesla i have got 2 examples here but i do not think there is anything we are missing play pause we need to be the 0 we do not have a video where is your presentation you could check the other remote controls technical functions which one was here the i do not know the technical functions they are a bit small you can we should stretch them because yeah yeah yeah yeah technical functions i guess we have got them all let us just look what you have volume mute play yeah that is actually in free slow yeah the zoom buttons yeah white screen high screen different things you have yeah different yeah but that should also be a sub menu yeah it should be favorable but then in some screen settings or something yeah so we should also implement a screen setting yeah screen settings yeah genetics settings you have channel settings yeah so you can program so those 4 and of course the main so 1st you see the main and the other ones you can go to like tap screens or something or i do not know i hope we can do this there are a lot of options it is depending on what kind of television you got because if you do not get a widescreen television you do not need the screen settings then you do not use it and if the television does not support such a operations we do not have to use that tap yeah yeah so you leave it slow yeah or it could be possible to have a standard version of the remote and expanded version and do we want to in different colors or colors yeah colors i think the main color of the remote control is the color of the lcd screen yeah and the device itself yeah device itself how many percent 80% would spend more money if it looks fancy okay so use very a lot of people perhaps you can make adjustable front like with it just a phone okay okay but i think that well make it available in different colors yeah red white blue black rastrofoam gray yeah see you if you 2 versions samson is versions if you press a button it turns green leave 5 minutes 2nd for our final 5 minutes so i have the things i just read then we have separate menus for the tata text screen settings audio settings and what else channel settings 0 yeah right so you can program the tv yeah maybe you should throw them in one point on in one pile so options and then you set them yeah otherwise you have all those tealtext or like a menu button you press a separate menu they have a main main usage all the all the settings yeah okay but we can work it out yeah later i guess so we are having a general menu with the most used functions data text screen settings audio settings channel settings and maybe there are options for the remote itself like large icons or small icons i do not know what else i think because we do not have a lot of buttons on one screen i do have any buttons yeah but like you have your only have channel button the volume button those buttons yeah yeah we do not have any normal buttons yeah maybe only the on enough we do not need the special options menu for the remote no no okay 0 well you should be able to set which tv you have yeah sure of course you need the settings button or a settings option for the remote control yeah but there is an idea to use what you said a normal on and off button for the tv no no no because we discussed that you could charge it otherwise it jumps to standby mode yeah but not for you but not for the remote but for the tv yeah for the tv of course i think that is the best thing is that to implement that one in the menu with volume but not as normal button in the lcd well maybe there should be a separate button apart from the lcd because you can not turn it on when the lcd is off so how do you turn the thing on there how you just tap it yeah you just tap it and then the television is on also or just remote no just remote television do not have to be on that one you can press on yeah it should be a standby yeah stand by then press on the remote press on and then tv should be available or not i do not know whether it is handy to have a normal on button just for tv so you can turn it on and then you can choose the channel otherwise you i do not know whether or not a normal button on the remote control or a normal yeah to turn it on or you should put it in or you should put it in the sd screen yeah because when you touch the sd screen when it is in standby mode it should pop on yeah yeah yeah why would it be handy to have an on well i guess if you use the lcd screen you 1st have the on button you then turn and then the tv goes on but if you have a normal on button on the remote then you do the on and then you search the channel which you want yeah but i think the the remote control if you press tap the screen it always should jump to the screen which has the volume button channel button and of course also the on and off button i think it looks a lot more fancy if you do not have any buttons on the monitor so actually we are going to create a button less remote no buttons at all okay well that might be a unique selling point remote if we can afford it okay well i guess we will have to respond for the discussion to our next meeting because we are running out of time for now we are having a lunch break and then there will be half an hour for the next share of individual work i will write minutes if i can create them out of this and put them in the project documents folder and here are the individual actions for the for the other roles and of course specific instructions will be sent to you again by your personal coach luckily as we are okay well thank you very much for now and lunch have a nice lunch food should we put this back in our rooms i think it will yeah i think so i think is a small yeah yeah 0 yeah yeah yeah yeah 0 yeah thanks 0 sorry
