great man who starts well i will start just with another presentation so then we can look at th at the agenda for this meeting alright great alright okay i have put some new things in the in the map 0 this is it i do not know the shortcut so ah f 5 well our functional design meeting that is the stage we are in and you also ha all 3 of you have prepared something about it yes well in we will just have a look at the at the notes from the previous meeting what we thought we had dec decided but then we will look at the 3 presentations from you kay i think you have prepared all 3 well yeah yeah we will look at th the new project requirements we i dunno y you also have received that mail the new project requirements from our bosses no no 0 i have received a mail with some additional requirements you are the only one 0 alright and i will have a look if well i think we should show them before your presentations because it is not really smart to to include some things we can not because of the new requirements kay well then we can make some decisions about our remote control functions we have to deb we have to decide it in this meeting what our function will be and then we can discuss some more closely we have 40 minutes for this discussion yeah i think so alright well the closing we will not look at it yet alright now i will look at show this board well notes 1st meeting now i gave a disk a a presentation we familiarized ourself with the boards and then we discussed some 1st ideas so we said that we have to merge the strong points from our competitors and look at their remote controls right we should make it compatible with our new d v d and other releases we have our technical releases huh not too many one buttons one recognizable button in the middle where you do the most important functions with and well they can have 2 functions because you have a d v d and a television yeah the design has to fit the hand be original but also be familiar it is one of our ideas yeah well that wa it is just 30 minutes ago so it is not quite but well i have to do it yeah now it is right the materials well should be hard plastic with rubber from and well the labeling of the buttons should be indestructible it should be recognizable at all times it is meant to be easily wiped out yeah yes okay well fronts were to be just like mobile telephones and the technical aspects and also labeling of the buttons the functions should be universal standards well that is just some ideas from the 1st meeting it is quite logical al all of it now the new project requirements i will just show them i got this mail from our bosses well teletext goes out 0 we will not use teletext okay maybe a new sort of thing but n but not teletext i i disagree but it is not t it is not my place to disagree i guess well the 2nd is a bit sh pity because we just said we wanted to d include the d v d and they do not want it because of our time we have for this project 0 alright 0 alright 0 that is a shame so that is a shame because especially for the 3rd requirement we want to reach people under the 30 years because we do not have those customers a lot at th at this point well it is a bit pity because it is just those people want to have one remote control for all those technical devices they can reach it yeah but let us forget about it it is just time consuming so we have to go on yeah well and our corporate image should stay rec recognizable in our products so we have to use maybe a slogan maybe a color and yeah well on our remote controls the design has to be well as we already said a actually familiar yes not only just the shape but also our company yeah we are a real fashionable company i read i read it on the i did not know what company we were but we we design especially trendy trendy trendy stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah so it has to be a modern design okay that is important to know when you design a thing of course yes i i noted our slogan that we have our company it is we put the fashion in electronics yeah right so maybe that is a slogan we can put somewhere on our remote control or something yeah alright then we are going to have 3 presentations yeah you want to start yeah i think i have to start 0 you have to start i did not see anything about who had to start 0 no no problem the order no well s then start i i just have to to think which file is mine cause i was bit in a hurry okay well i think it is this one but i am not sure you already opened powerpoint yeah s right yes this is it yeah well i am going to tell you something about functional requirements to start with these points next sheet at 1st i tell you something about what people dislike about the current controls because it is a smart thing to exclude those things furthermore it is very important what they do like and what they do use then i tell something about the most important issues so we have to focus on those 3 thing 3 things and in the end i will show you our target audience or our target product users customers well the 1st findings are that people think most controls are very kind of ug ugly that is 75% of the current users they do not like it so we might think about fronts in that section they also say that is about i thought it was 50% that more money will be spent on better looking controls so it is very important that you design a a nice looking control the current user uses his machine just about well all of the time for a few functions almost every user uses it d the the control for just 10% of its capacity so it is really important to make the the buttons for the common tasks kind of big or kind of flashy furthermore it is 75% of the users zaps a lot thus it might be might be smart to make a a big zapping button or something in the middle so you can reach it with your thumb you can zap away yeah yeah right yeah yeah right a lot of losers users lose their controls in their in their living room so it might be sensible to make some kind of a button on your television that is your your control beeps or something that you can find this very easily yeah well i dunno maybe that is an idea cause it is a big i think 50% of the users loses his its control within the same room 0 0 yeah it should actually it should actually be loose from the television because it can also be used for other televisions so so if you deliver a small click on device that you can put on your television that bleeps to your remote control everyone can use it yeah but what if you lose your click on device no you can click it on your television yeah but if someone d somebody else uses it in ano other room or something yeah in another room yeah nee but it it specifically says it is the the control is lost in the same room well yes yeah so well a beeping device would be furthermore the learning time is a problem well we will have a look at it yeah 3434% thinks it is it is too too difficult to learn so the the learning curve should be very short for the dumbest people should be able to use it i think our user expert should also consider manual a manual for the remote of course yeah but people do not read manuals i did not read it 0 alright no no users to add one do you think i do not think i think you should put more time in the in the design of pick up and use than a manual yeah yes you should you should could take a look at it and and and know how it how it is supposed to work yeah alright yep because they do not use it alright yeah well there sh should always be a menu but it c can be very short right and it should be consistent with consistent with older remotes yeah but nobody reads a manual about a remote control i think yes okay well maybe for the if you do not recognize a button who d who d who do i call wh when i do not know it alright yeah right it sh it should be there the manual but but not to explain how the remote works only and we do not have much time so it is better to put our attention to the the design so you can pick up and use it than i think well we are a design team we can say to some writer make a manual point yeah right right is not it part of the of the u no so no well we will have a look never mind next point yes r s i well that is about 20% i thought but the designer should take it should wie zeg ik dat consider the m yeah consider the consequences of using your remote it should be a good in your hand yeah yep right this is the most important part we are like the requirements said we are going to specify of we are going to target a younger audience that is about 60% of the market so it is quite important research shows that they like to have a little l c d screen on their on their zapping device i thought it was the age between 16 and 2099% of the people like that well so it is very important we should definitely have that in our designs well with €12 50 as production cost we can not afford an l c d it is going to be expensive no yeah yeah but they think it is really important so if we want to s if we have a big yeah if we make lots of of the stuff maybe we can buy it very cheap i dunno we have to well we will consider it well yeah well it is your your task to look into the costs of those nigh i know we will think abo we will think yeah i do not know i do not have any information on that so no we will look we will look into that later right alright and another thing is speech recognition they also like that but research is very costly i think that is difficult to realize also so yeah but it it might be important for the sale we have very demanding clients it is not yet a standard development those so no and we have customers in multiple countries i think well i do think l c d is more reachable than the speech recognition we sh yeah absolutely yeah so we might consider l c d screens no yeah yeah alright well we will consider both and and see what what what we can find i think alright yep we do not rule them out yet kay alright i think that is it alright i think it is sensible to u to take this take these points into the notes so you can right yes well you i c i can still see your presentation yeah right it is in the well next i dunno who is next you got shall i give a technical talk 0 you go yes alright well go ahead well it is my task to explain or to point out a working design yip we have that here okay how do you enlarge it so that you can have the f f 5 f 5 f 5 yep alright well the working design that is my next button well alright you know who i am and what i do so we have this it is a bit unclear because i wanted to copy paste something it was originally in black and white but it became black and purple 0 right purple but i think you can read it yeah yeah yeah well i think it is important for you to realize the basic function of a remote control a bit well you can see maybe you can select it so it inverts and i then can select i can select on the dings it goes to the next page the p the whole picture nah never mind click well you can read it it is not too difficult yeah go ahead meanwhile this is a schematic view of how a basic remote control works you have basically the energy the power of the of the remote control and the sender w which is the led the the the the the the the the the bulb that sends the the infrared beam to the no to the set yeah alright and the source is of course the user the user interface is the the the buttons of course and the the user interface sends the the different signals of the different buttons to the chip and the chip sends it to the led and the led sends it to the receiver that is the that is the basic idea yep very basic well i have put it in a in in in a a couple of basic steps the remote is basically just waiting for a user to press a key it does nothing until of course the key is pressed the key a signal to a chip the chip senses the connection and recognize the key so well you understand the chip produces morse code a specific code to indicate that specific button that is pressed of course and it uses transistors in the in the remote control to amplify and to send that signal again to the to the led which is the bulb of course now the led produces an infrared beam and signals the well it is very simple and signals the signals to the sensor on the t v set yeah and the t v set also recognizes the the the signal and performs the assigned task so it is also why we have to have a button that says i am now busy with a d v d if we had done that and a button for t v ah bu yeah but we do not we no no but yeah so exactly well this is the basic function of a remote i have some couple of pictures here it is a very basic one and if we if we are going to add an an l c d screen to it it will not look anything like this but this is very basic basically the the shape of of a remote control it has very little buttons and but it it it is it is quite yeah you can easily recognize the buttons they are far enough apart and an anything it is not very high tech not very high tech indeed and it is not very user friendly if you look at the shape it is just a simple long box shape so we have to change a little bit to that so that it becomes more user friendly and that problems like r s i and those kinds of thing do not do not oc do not occur right can i say something yeah i have a table here about the l the relevance of the buttons the power button is used very much channel selection volume and teletext well teletext is not an option so that but i think it is very important to make the power channel and volume buttons near to the thumb so you can not have r s i consequences yeah because they are the the most important buttons and you can immediately right make them big make them easy to to press well but but if you have the most used buttons all in one place and you keep making the same well moves you do not have to look and and search for them you can also like right yeah right yeah i was thinking you can but if y if you would put it at a different place then you have to move your hands and that is on of the things about r s i right yeah that is right are some of the the the that is right that is right well you you can not have any every button under the thumb of course we no but the most important buttons m maybe you can just put them a bit apart so you would but yeah that is very important and reject r r s i r s i maybe you can make for for channel changing 2 little buttons on the side of the remote so you can just do like this like some little gameboy things or some yes i have saw that on m on mi mobile telephones they also have those buttons but is that is that useable do people when they pick up a remote know that they have to do that it is a f it is a new feature you can make make a double feature l like a button on the top and under it well well it it is yeah yeah alright but yeah but if you s say them up and down they they will understand it i think well also i if someone puts picks up his remote yeah 80% would well if someone puts up i picks up his remote and he picks up it he he touches the side then he is a already on the next channel yeah he feels it immediately yeah that is true that is very irritating i think yeah that is right yeah yeah but well right continue sorry but in e in any case the the basic function should be indeed and as you say at the thumb no i think that is a good idea and and that the less important buttons like the the the different channels the numbers 12345 as well should be yeah well not in reach because they do not use it all the time well it is pretty pretty basically as you said yep and i have some pictures of the inside workings but i do not want to get too technical because that is not very useful for you yeah that is right that is your part of the job so yeah exactly this is how it looks from the inside yep and well that is about it i think 0 yeah i still have this 0 i had to delete this but i had to make a schematic of the of the new but i had too too little time alright okay but do not well we understand do not look at it please alright i i think it is it is clear how it works we understand yeah it is clear alright 0 right no that is the most important thing nice alright then mike can give the 3rd presentation how late is did we start his presentation right i dunno i think w about 20 minutes ago wha yeah well then we have still the time so but we do have to come to a decision right later on losing time losing time yeah right so so well i thought everybody on the website would see the same thing but i do not think so obviously that is not the case yeah there are different we have all have different home pages with different links 0 yeah yeah yeah yeah right for instance you could not see this okay yeah well yeah well i am mike user interface designer the the method well i used my own experience with remotes took a good l look at the remotes on the corporate website which are these 2 yeah these are already in use yes these are from from another manufacturer alright okay this one is engineering centered so this one has the most functions and things this one is user centered yeah well yeah me too i like user centered i like user centr centered also the best yeah we also do that well i thought that we reduce the the option to control the d v d also and teletext and that kind of stuff so i thought we we we would use more or need more buttons than this one but we have to reject that because of the requirements but yes yeah th that is why this is not relevant any more i feel alright i think this is about the maximum number of buttons we will need yeah right i i kinda like the shape i think this is what we talked about but yeah you can not really see the differ from different sides but i think no i have well i showed it somewhere you can draw it if you yeah 0 yeah i think we should go further with the idea of a removable front so we can can yeah customize the well absolutely but i th they all have to have something about the recognition from our company so we cannot just yeah make someone w it is a front it is not the the whole remote that changes of course no but that is th the side they look look at is the front but it you can so if y if you make a a front with just a a tiger on it then our recognition is totally gone yeah that is right or you can you can can put the same symbol on on every remote yeah that is a must so l like ericsson does every we must have that yeah we must we can put it on the on the back side yeah well and and s something like this yes it is recognizable kay we can make a symbol of the company right here and if you put a front on it there is a hole on the front yeah so the symbol is always on yeah yeah so that you do not replace the symbol yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah something like that in the yeah or the th the the lowest part of the remote is not changed by the front yeah yeah but let us not focus on the front yeah those kind of things yes okay well so like i said i thought we would we would use more function if we we had to include more functions but we do not so yeah alright i think this is about the maximum number of buttons we need maybe some less like eject we do not need and some other buttons we do not need i think mike can you put that picture from me on the in the word documents file yeah i will in map i think for the remote less is more the less buttons the better the design yeah yeah i agree we should go with that concept i think i know alright i have i have got another point yeah there are 2 target audi audiences and we have chose for the younger one research has shown that it is a high interested in features they are high high interested in feature but they are more critical fo yeah critical the younger so the younger audience so we must must design a control that really speaks to the people well what if we i at i at home have a remote that has the most familiar buttons on the top and the bottom side of the front has a little clip a f a little you can click away and then you have f much more functions that most people do not use but s some do do i think the most functions underneath that no usually clip are not used much well but because you say they their features are important they want m a lot but not yeah right but yeah but what kind of features yeah i think m most like l c d screens and voice recognition yeah but yeah but i have most here look at these numbers the newest features are like i said are l c d and speech control our audience these people are very like these features yeah you see so we must build in something or they will to go to the concurrent competitors yeah the concurrent our competitor yeah competitors right so i do think we have to have some features yeah even though they cost a little more well maybe w we could s on some calculators you have lo those little little l c d th that you can click on or something right right or that you can click out of the remote and if if that is gives you a little bit of sta status information like a ticker tape yeah which program you are l watching or something yeah that is nice those kind of things because you also have those those program recognition for your v v c r s and well if y if your remote picks that up also you they can display which program you are currently watching yeah right yeah yeah right yeah so it it just signals the the different sig the different symbols on the screen you have yeah because if you change to s channel 2 you have 2 on the screen and 2 on your on your on your l c d screen for example it it could be such a little th that you can click in and out and you and you have it yeah we should keep that simple too but should it really be clickable or or just integrate inside to try to make it d more trendy it will yeah no not clickable well maybe no it should be integrated nah no no no i think yeah just at at the top so when you s you sit like this you can can watch i think it should be at the top yeah yeah something like on some radios in car yeah you where it is yeah walking to yeah yeah right it is a ticker tape idea r d s s or something but that is of course a bit more expensive than the basic calculator design with the scrolling text and that kind of thing wa yeah well it is just one script well i think it is you got it just means it is a script that is keeps it rolling and it is not that is 5 minutes off implementing time i think yeah 5 minutes of ja ja for programming yeah so i do not think that is the issue no alright alright we go with the l c d screen well i think so yes yeah well we we we still need to know how much that will cost kay right i do not know if i can find that but we are g no but we are we will have to look into that or maybe you will get that information yeah next time we can use this board again i think yeah right we can put some decisions about the controls we want th the issue where is my presentation yeah i understand what you are saying we should have a general idea of how it is going to look well i mean we are all here now i think these i have already given you so we have to decide on the different remote control functions right so we want to have a small l c d screen that is special at the top should not we start with the most important parts at the top or at the bottom yes the l c d screen alright but we should start with the power button i think the top is more yeah when you s how do you zap yeah but you just sit in your chair huh with the remote yeah but with with the l c d screen on the top it gets a bit unnatural that thing is terrible cause most remotes have some space left at the bottom yeah but that is where your hand ball might be yeah i dunno yeah no and then we will draw 2 and then we will see maybe we should centralize the discussion here i dunno what you were talking about but no he thinks yeah right we are busy with something he thinks it is better to put the l c d at the bottom and i think it is better at the top huh why do you think it is better at the bottom well well because most remotes have some space left at the bottom and that way you can keep the shape recognizable for everybody but your but you just can put the the the the the whole interface a bit down so that there is room for the for the interface i c yeah well i d i think that is that is ugly but the the ticker the l c d is like like small it is it is wide it is not not high huh but i th well i th i think mike mike has a point and and we can because when when when i use a remote i l i hate the buttons but buttons at the at the bottom yeah power button always yeah bottom yeah so and and i i like to use the ones yeah y you got to zap like this or you want to yeah on the top so when i u when i have to have an l c d s scr window yeah right but well that is a bit exaggerated we are making a remote with with a few functions you know well i agree with you it is it is also more recognizable we it looks more like a calculator to people if you have the l the the yes but we we we we do not want that the thing on top yeah you do not want you want yeah it it it must be a remote we do not want them to look like a calculator we want to look it like our original but familiar yeah w well but you do not have to throw important aspe important aspect like familiarity completely away because i think it is yeah high tech yea maybe a bic better white we white i think it is still important to have it at the top because it is width width format yeah format line width th that is not a problem width it is more familiar that way yeah when i draw here it 0 huh it is a bit off yeah it is off a little a little bit well it it needs to be calibrated again well let us talk about that later well maybe you should another pen maybe that is better you e you only have one pen for that screen where alright we have to make a decision now because we do not have much time it is special pen yeah yeah no i think we have a few functions and we can put the l c d above it and still have lots of room at the bottom where you can put your hand yeah i i agree i think it should be at the button bottom well i am the i i am the designer so at the bottom bottom the l c d in a few minutes 0 yeah 0 yeah i totally agree at the bot yeah so yeah we are 2 v s 2 well but what what if we we 1st decide the different functions and then look at the design he is the boss yeah right great we we were busy with that because we have to decide this yeah we should summon the the different aspects of the thing yeah so we have the power button and moreover i think that you 2 should be come to consensus about the l c d s yes it is your it is your job yeah of course well we have a power button it is no it is our job yeah w wh guys while you have to agree i can say it is like this and you must agree for all of us i think yeah right guys alright let us keep it central yeah we have a power button setting buttons l c d window the number buttons the 10 numbers yeah channel yeah volume volume control yes the mute button well let us look at your design i h love that one huh i think we we should use something like this to the the channel up and channel down button yes yeah in circle you know yeah yeah yeah yeah well that is that is also design and and a volume control also in it yes right yeah well h ho but th th on this remote th these controls are for something else a d v d player or something yes yes yes as i already said we could drop some of these buttons they are for some video so you should put that power button channel and volume should have the most importance yeah i think these should be in one big circle in the middle yeah but what he said about r s i was t kinda true when when you put them all in the same place the most used buttons you are doing the same thing all the time and that is just what r s i is all about so it might be smarter to put them a little more away from each other apart so people have to move their hand and they get less complaints of r s i yeah it is it is also not good to completely stay in one position constantly with one hand y yeah that is what i always do because all my i important buttons are the same place it is good to move from time to time yeah yeah but people do not like it when their buttons are all over the place yes they they need to be centered no but now y w would we have to choose a well not frequency of button use way in middle yes channels are most is most used within the hour volume hardly huh you can see so the the channel channel buttons should be far far apart i think up and down no i do not think 0 up and down far apart from each other far apart you thinking about r s i yeah but yeah but no well not too much y look at look at the frequency nei not too much but the other the other 2 frustrations are far more important so i think you can have the 2 buttons of up and down close together but you do not have have to have volume control and and zapping button close together well for example the power button you can if someone is constantly z zapping well they are used 4 times an hour so it is not going to miss that it that the power button is not right beside it because i have someone but the buttons is way nei nei nei n i i totally agree so that one can be put away but just yeah right yeah i agree the power button can be power bu button should be left at the top and should and should be red yes yeah 0 man 5 minutes yeah well 5 minutes left right just make some decisions yep the most important things we have to how are we going to do it with those numbers c c can you make you make we can use the drawing board now i think it it does not work well but but it it would be pretty pretty nice if we could just draw a simple thing well i have it here i do think you have to keep you have to keep it central now yeah well that is going to take too too much time just you decide that you decide that and ready yes yeah yes alright well the l c d you are industrial you are user interface so i think it is going to go to mike yeah but you will have to make consensus with well well consensus we we can put it in the middle so well it is a bit hard because we are going to be individually nei we are no we are deciding now so that is a bit yes top or bottom well yeah i i still think it is it is quite important though to to have it at the top so yeah yes it is you say familiarity is not important but well what if we are going to now decide about the functions and the design comes into the next round okay plus the d th the design round is still to come huh yeah d yeah right yeah okay alright alright these functions as we we we we agreed we do have a l c d the number f well yes that is alright so that is yeah okay w the number function that is enough yeah are we going to do it like on mike is screen with one button that says i am going to do a t 2 number digital no how do you want it to do then there is 12345667890 well just when you push a 11 and it it has to r recognize one as there could still come more no if you on most t v s if you press 2 numbers shortly after each other d it yeah 0 like that yes they would recognize it th that is the most that that is very easy alright so no button for that yeah yeah no yeah okay anyone any oth other functionalities of our remote i think these are the the most important functions do you still have the pictures over there yeah so yeah that is about it you do need the multi or did no like this one you do need them no we would just said we did not yeah i know but are we alright alright now okay well well because we can not integrate it with any other remotes all those buttons on those pictures are irrelevant right so just for a television is that all we need yeah it is most useable this way basic function yeah teletext is gone so all those buttons that ar are to do with teletext 0 screen placing we will have those buttons about and the 2 important ones we are l f forgetting there is screen you can make it wider and less wide yeah and the button that you can go to a v for your video right i do think we have to put that underneath a clip 0 yeah those 2 but it is just 2 and we make a clip just 2 just 2 under under th that is a bit waste we we can make make a little row of like 4 buttons down here yes yeah okay right i i think or at the top your l c d screen is going to go or at yeah alright then but you you can put 2 or 3 buttons under another section that is that is too complicated you can just put it somewhere they they are not used much not as much as those other so you can put it somewhere yes yeah 0 they can be small or round like buttons yeah s bit smaller and s well and and i think more at the bottom yeah yeah or at the top yeah what do you think those those buttons above or down well i think they should in an in an isolated part of the remote and w where well we design it later we have it and we design later where everything goes yes yes yeah yes well any other well if you you take those th if you why go to video go to video that is always on your remote control yeah but you can z you can zap t you can you can zap to the video channel from 0 to to a v to a v a v a v the the video channel that is just 0 yeah well l n no not at not at my remote no no not always ze yeah 0 is a different channel than the the video channel yeah yeah but you can can zap down yeah but when you zap down 0 you get to a v yes yes i think th i do not i go to 99 no then you press 99 ah well whatever i think go to video is an irrelevant button but th that is the button no but it is easy to go if you are at at channel 55 and you want to go immediately to the video channel you do you have to push a to to get below 0 no you can ch push 0 it is more easy to get to where the specific video channel button yeah yeah i i think that one button is i use it yeah but if we are choosing to incorporate these buttons you have to have channel setting if you wa if you have a new t v you have to set the channels yeah right all th these different buttons you have to these buttons i do not have buttons for channel setting especially on my remote ah i do yeah well d different screen settings a yeah sk yeah y you you you you have screen width it is it is incorporated with p m +and down those yeah well y you must have yeah you yeah you have 11 button from s set frequency 0 or something and then with +and min minus you can adjust the right that is the only one we put in there so we still have 14 for a screen fu channel setting ch ch yeah to 0 yeah of course to configure the program the yeah program right okay 0 the okay button 0 you always have in the center an okay button for your menu yeah yeah alright menu button you should yeah i think that is important and and the settings to change the brightness the settings to change the brightness and the contrast channel setting menu we have to go okay channel yeah so save chief chief yes see th the menu menu button is also important then you can yes i have put it in where i do not see it here 0 menu alright i think things like contrast and brightness should be in the menu yeah in the menu and you can then adjust it with the zapping buttons or something yeah the because the zapping buttons are not used then if you are in the menu alright or the volume or something like that guys yeah or the volume yeah we are going to go to our rooms and we will have to decide s things on our own i think your pen ah great so yes chief alright i thought we would lunch right now or not well see you w w we have lunchtime by the way now so yeah this is this is your thing ah yeah lunch break okay i am hungry lunch get into my belly ah we did not exactly do everything but so see you later mate
hey hey so so your queen was also a way no no no no no hi right so 0 great 0 i have got my pen well i do not need it 0 no no my screen is small again well it does not matter a lot here is what to do yeah i know but i can read it i can read it like hey my screen is big great man who starts well i will start just with another presentation so then we can look at the agenda for this meeting okay put some new things in the map 0 so this is it i do not know that short good so ah i well our functional design meeting that is the states we are in and you also have all 3 of you have prepared something about it yes well and we will just have a look at the notes from the previous meeting what we thought we had decided but then we will look at the 3 presentations from you i think you have prepared for all yeah we will look at the new project requirements we i do not know you also have received that mail the new project requirements from our bosses no no 0 i have received a middle with some additional requirements and i will have a look of well i think we should show them before your presentations because it is not really smart to include some things weekends because of the new requirements well then we can make some decisions about our remote control functions we have to be we have to decide in this meeting what our functions will be and then we can discuss some more closing we have 40 minutes for this discussion yeah i think so alright well the closing i will not look at that yet right now i will show it at this board well i will know i will show it at this board well i know notes 1st meeting now i gave a presentation we familiarized ourselves with the boards and then we discussed some 1st ideas so we said that we have to merge the strong points from our competitors and look at their remote controls we should make it compatible with our new dvd and other releases we have our technical releases not too many buttons one recognizable button in the middle where you do the most important functions with and well they can have 2 functions because you have a dvd and a television the design has to fit the hand be original but also be familiar it is one of ideas it is just 30 minutes ago so it is not quite no it is right but where i have to do it the materials well should be hard plastic with rubber from the ties and the labeling of the buttons should be inextricable it should be recognizable at all times not being used well fronts for the remote just like one more telephones like mobile telephones and the technical aspect and also labeling of the buttons the functions should be universal standards well that is just some ideas from the 1st meeting it is quite logical all of it now the new project requirements i will just show them i got this mail from our bosses well tatar text goes out we will not use tata text maybe a new sort of thing but not teletext it is not my place to disagree i guess the 2nd is a bit pity because we just said we wanted to include the dvd and they do not want it because of our time we have for this project 0 all right so that is a shame because especially for the 3rd requirement we want to reach people under the 30 years because we do not have those customers a lot at this point well it is a bit pity because just those people want to have one remote control for all those technical devices they can let us forget about it it is just time consuming so we have to go well and our corporate image should stay mechanizable in our products so we have to use maybe a slogan maybe color and yeah well on our remote controls the design has to be well as we already said actually familiar not only this the shape but also our company yeah we are a real fashion more company i read it i did not know what company we were but we we designed especially trendy trendy trendy stuff so it does to be a modern design that is important to know when you design things yes i noted our slogan we have our company our company that is we put the fashion in electronics now so maybe that is a slogan we can put somewhere on a remote control or something all right then we are going to have 3 presentations you want to start i think i have to start i did not see anything about that 0 no well i just have to think which files mine because i was a bit in a hurry okay well i think it is this one but i am not sure i have to my you already opened to powerpoint all right yes this is well i am going to tell you something about functional requirements to start with these points next year at 1st i tell you something about what people dislike about the current controls because it is a smart thing to exclude those things furthermore it is very important what they do like and what they do use then i tell something about the most important issues so we have to focus on those 3 things and in the end i will show you our target audience or our target product users with product users customers well the 1st findings are that people think most controls are very kind of ugly that is 75% of the current users they do not like it so we might think about france in that section they also say that is about i thought it was 50% that more money will be spent on better looking controls so it is very important that you design a nice looking control the current user uses his machine just about well all the time for a few functions almost every user uses the control for just 10% of his capacity so it is really important to make the buttons for the common tasks kind of big or kind of flashy furthermore it is 75% of the users zaps a lot this might be smart to make a big zapping button or something in the middle so you can reach it with your thumb you can zap away yeah right right a lot of losers users lose their controls in the living room so it might be sensible to make some kind of a button on your television that your your control beeps or something that you can find it very easily i do not know maybe that is an idea because it is a big i think 50% of the users loses its control within the same room it should actually be loose from the television because it can also be used for other televisions so if you deliver a small click on device that you can put on your television that leaps to your remote control yeah but if you lose your click on the device no you can click it on your television yeah but if somebody else uses it in another room or something yeah yeah it is yes it is yes it is the the control is lost in the same room so well b 2 device would be furthermore the learning time is a problem 34% thinks it is too difficult to learn so the learning curve should be very short for the dumb people should be able to use it i think our user expert should also consider manual a manual for the remote of course yeah but people do not read manuals no they do not read it 0 no so it is users to add one do you think i do not think i think you should put more time in the design of pickup and use than a manual you should take a look at it and know how it is supposed to work yeah right you should always be a manual but it can be very sure yeah but nobody with all the remotes about a remote control i think yes okay maybe for the if you do not recognize a button who do they call who do they call it should be the manual but not to explain how the remote works we do not have much time so it is better to put our attention to the design so you can pick up and use it we are a design team we can say to some writer make a manual is that part of the no no well we will have a look next point yes erisee well that is about 20% i thought thought but the designer should take it to should consider the consequences of using your remote it should be good in your hand right this is the most important part like the requirements said we are going to specify if we are going to target a younger audience that about 60% of the market so it is quite important research shows that they like to have a little lcd screen on their on their zapping device i thought it was the age between 16 and 20 99% of the people like that so it is very important we should definitely have that in our designs well with €12 50 as production cost we can not afford an lsd yeah but they think it is really important so if we want to if we have a big if we make lots of of those stuff maybe we can buy it very cheap i do not know we have to well we will consider it yeah well you are your task to look into the costs i do not know i do not have any information on that well i know we will look into that later right and another thing is speech recognition they also like that but research is very costly i think that is difficult to realize also yeah but it might be important we have very demanding clients it is not yet a standard development no and we have customers in multiple lcd is more reachable than speech recognition so we might consider lcd screens yeah all right i will consider both see what we can find i think we do not rule them out to yeah me okay i think that is it i think it is sensible to you to take this take these points into the notes so you can right well you i can still see your presentation yeah right well next i do not know who is next you got a can i give a technical talk yes well go ahead well it is my task to explain or to point out a working design yep and we have that here how do you enlarge it so that you can have the f 5 f 5 well the working design that is my next button well all right you know i am and what i am know i am and what i do so we have this it is a bit unclear because i wanted to copy paste something it was originally in black and white but it became black and purple but i think you can read it well i think it is important for you to realize the basic function of a remote control well you can see maybe you can select it so it is no yeah it is inverts and i do not i can select on the it goes to the next page the whole picture click well you can read it it is not too difficult this is a schematic view of how a basic remote control works you have basically the energy the power of the remote control and the sender which is the lead the bulb that sends the infrared beam to the set and the source is of course the user and the user interface is the buttons of course and the user interface sends the the different signals of the different buttons to the chip the chip sends it to the left and the lead sends it to receive that is the basic idea very basic well i have put it in a couple of basic steps the remote is basically just waiting for a user to press a key it does nothing until of course the key is pressed the key press the signal to a chip the chip sends the connection and recognize the key so well you understand the chip produces morse code a specific code to indicate that specific button that is pressed of course and it uses transistors in the remote control to amplify and to send that signal again to the lead which is the bulb of course and the lead producers in infrared beam and signals the well it is very simple and signals the signals to the sensor on the tv set and the tv set also recognizes the signal and performs the assigned task so this is also why we have to have a button that says i am now busy with a dvd if we had done that and the button for tv but we do not no no but yeah exactly well this is the basic function of a remote i have a couple of pictures here it is a very basic one and score if we are going to add an lcd screen to it it will not look anything like this but this is very basic basically the shape of a remote control it has very little buttons and but it is it is quite you can easily recognize the buttons they are far enough apart and anything it is not very not very not very high tech indeed and it is not very user friendly if you look at the shape it is just a simple long box shape so we have to change a little bit to that so that it becomes more use princely and that the problems like air z and those kinds of things do not do not say something do not occur yeah i have a table here about the relevance of the buttons the power button is used very much channel selection volume and teletext well teletext is not an option but i think it is very important to make the power channel and volume buttons near to the thumb so you can not have erasy consequences yeah because they are the most important buttons and you can immediately make them easy to well you do not have to look and search for them if you have the most used buttons all in one place and you keep making the same well i was but if you would put it at a different place then you have to move your hands and that is one of the things about rsi that is right that is right you can not have any every button under the thumb no but the most important buttons maybe you can just put them a bit apart so you would that is very important reject rsi maybe you can make for channel changing 2 little buttons on the side of the remote so you can just do like this yes i saw that on my mobile telephones they also have those things usable do people when they pick up remote know that they have to do that it is a new well it is a new feature you can make a double feature like a button on the top and also if someone puts up and down they will understand it i think well if someone picks up his remote and he picks it but he touches the side and he is already on the next channel that is very irritating yeah that is right yeah yeah right right right in any case the basic function should be indeed as you say at the thumb i think that is a good idea and the less important buttons like the different chambers the numbers one 3 4 or 5 should be well not in reach because they do not use it all the time well it is pretty pretty yeah basically as you said and i have some pictures of the inside workings but i do not want to get too technical because that is not very useful for you are part of the job so yeah this is how it looks from the inside and well that is about it i think 0 yeah i still have this 0 i had to delete this but i had to make a schematic of the thing but i had to do a little time but do not look at this please well i think it is clear we understand all right all right that is the most important thing nice all right then mike can give the 3rd presentation right how late is we started this presentation i do not know i think about 20 minutes ago yeah then we have still the time but we do have to come to a decision yeah right so so sq 0 i thought everybody on the website would see the same thing i do not think so that is not the case yeah there are different we have different home pages 0 yeah different links yeah yeah right for instance you could not see this okay yeah well yeah well yeah well i am mike younger usually in face design the method well i used my own experience with remotes to look at the remotes on the corporate website which are these 2 yeah these are already in use yes they are from another manufacturer all right this one is engineering center so this one has the most functions and things this one is user centered and i like user center yeah i like user center i like user center also the best we also do that well i thought that we would use the option to control the dvd also and tailor text and that kind of stuff so i thought we would use more or need more buttons than this one but we have to reject that because of the requirements that is why this is not relevant anymore i think this is about the maximum number of buttons we will need yeah right i kind of like the shape i think this is what we talked about i think you can not really see it different from different sides but i think no i show it you can draw it if you yeah 0 yeah i think we should go further with the idea of removable fronts we can yeah customize well they all have to have something about the recognition from our company so they cannot just make someone it is not the whole remote that changes no but the side they look at is the front so if you make a front with just a tiger on it then our recognition is totally gone yeah that is right you can put the same symbol on every remote that is a must we can put it on the back side something like this it is recognizable we can make a symbol of the company right here and if you put the front on it there is a hole in the front yeah so that do not replace the symbol or the lowest part of the remote is not changed by the front but let us not focus on the front okay well so like i said i thought we would use more function we had to include more functions but we do not yeah i think this is about the maximum number of buttons we need maybe some less like eject we do not need some other buttons we do not need mike can you put that picture for me in the work documents while yeah i will i think for the remote less is more the less buttons the better the design yeah we should go with that concept i think i have got another point there are 2 target audiences and we have chose for the younger one research has shown that it is a high interested in features they are high interested in feature but they are more critical yeah critical the younger audience so we must design a control that really speaks to the people well what if we i at home have a remote that has the most familiar buttons on the top and the bottom side of the front has a little clap a little you can click away and then you have much more functions that most people do not use but some do but i think the most functions underneath that club are not as much they are well but they are usually they their features are important they want a lot but not but what kind of features yeah i think these screens but most look at the numbers the news features are like i said our lcd and speech control our audience these people are very like these features you see so we must build in something or they will to go to the conquerant our competitors right so i do think we have to have some features even though they cost a little more maybe we could on some calculators you have those little lcd that you can click on or something you can click out of the remote and if that gives you a little bit of status information yeah which program you are watching or something yeah that is those kind of things because you also have those those program recognition for your pcrs and yeah right if your remote picks that up also you they can display which program you are currently watching so so it just signals the different symbols on the screen you have because if you change to channel 2 you have 2 on the screen and 2 on your for example on your lcd screen it could be such a little that you can click in and out and you have it yeah we should keep that simple too but should it really be clickable no it is going to be integrated just integrate inside to make it more trendy when you sit like this you can watch something like on some radios in car where it is walking yeah right rds or something but that is of course a bit more expensive than the basic calculator design but the scrolling text and that kind of thing wow that is just one script you got a script that keeps it rolling and it is not it is 5 minutes of implementing time yeah for programming yeah so i do not think that is the issue no all right all right we go with the lcd well i think so yes we we still need to know how much that will cost right i do not know if i can find that no we will maybe you will get that information we can use this board again i think we can put some decisions about the controls we want the issue with it that where is my present presentation i understand what you are saying we should have a general idea of how it is going to look well we are here now i think these i have already given you so we have to decide on the different remote control functions so we want to have a small lcd screen that is special should we start with the most important part at the top or at the bottom alright we should start with the power button yeah how do you zap you just sit in your chair with the lcd screen on the top it gets a bit terrible because most remotes have some space left at the bottom yeah but that is where your handball might be yeah i do not know and then you draw 2 and now we see a maybe we should centralize the discussion here i do not know what you are talking about we are busy with something and you yeah right he thinks it is better to put the lcd at the bottom and i think it is better at the top why do you think it is better at the bottom well because most remotes have some space left at the bottom and that way you can keep the shape recognizable for everybody but you just can put the the whole interface a bit down so that there is i think the lcd is like small it is white it is not high i think mike has a point because when i use a remote i hate the buttons at the bottom so and i like to use the ones on the top so when i have to it is these well i agree with you with a few functions you know it is also more recognizable it looks more like a calculator to people if you have the yes but we do not want that we do not want them to look like a calculator you want to look at it like our original well but you do not have to throw an important aspect important aspect like familiarity completely away because i think it is i think it is still important to have it at the top because format line line it is more familiar that one when i draw here it is a bit off yeah it is off a little bit it needs to be calibrated well let us talk about that later hey you shoot another pen maybe that is better no no you only have one pen for that screen right we have to make a decision now because we do not have much time no i think we have a few functions and we can put the lcd above it lcd above it and still have lots of room at the button where you can put your hand i think it should be at the button well i am the design 0 yeah i totally agree we are 2 with vs 2 well but what if we 1st decide the different functions and then look at the design we were busy with that we should summon the different aspects of the thing so we have the power button more of i think that you 2 should be a come to consensus about the lcd is your job yeah of course yeah it is a yeah we have a power button guys are you have to agree i can not save on it is like this and i agree yeah we have a power button setting buttons lcd window the number buttons channel yeah volume volume control yes 0 let us look at your the mute button i have loved that one i think we we should use something like this to the channel up and channel down button yes yeah in circle you know yeah well that is that is also design also yes next be yeah well on this remote these controls are for something else a dvd player they are for some video you should put that power button channel and volume should have the most importance yeah i think these should be in one big circle in the middle yeah but what he said about rz was kind of true when you put them all in the same place the most used buttons you are doing the same thing all the time thing all the time and that is just what eros is all about so it might be smarter to put them a little more apart away from each other so people have to move their hands and they get less complaints of ours yeah it is also not good to completely stay in one position constantly with one hand that is what i always do because all my important buttons are the same place people do not like it when their buttons are all over the place 0 no we have to choose a frequency of button use yes channels are most is most used within the hour volume hard to see so the channel buttons should be far far apart i think up and down i do not see up and down far apart from each other you are thinking about airsy well not too much much look at frequency not too much but the other 2 frustrations are far more important i think you connect the 2 buttons of up and down close together but you do not have to have volume control and zapped and zapped and close together if someone is constantly zapping it is not going to miss that is that the power button is not right beside because i have someone i do not agree so that one can be put away yeah right yeah the power button can be a power button should be left at the top yes and should be right 0 man 5 minutes yeah well 5 minutes left just make some decisions yep the most important things we have to how are we going to do it with those numbers we can use the drawing board now i think it does not work well but it is it would be pretty pretty nice if we could just draw or simple yeah well that is going to take well that is going to take too much time you have to keep it central now just you decide that you decide that yes all right ready well the lcd you are industrial you are user interface so i think it is going to go to mike but you will have to make consensus with thais well consensus well it is a bit hard because we are going to be individually that is a bit we are deciding now yes so top of bottom well yeah i still think it is quite important huh yes it is we have it at the top so yeah you say familiarity is not important but well what if we are going to now decide about the functions and the design comes into the next round okay but the design round is still to come eh yeah all right all right these functions because we agreed we do have lcd yes that is all right that is okay the number function that is enough are we going to do it like on mike is screen with one button that says i am going to do 2 number digital no how do you want it to do then there is 123 or 5 it has to recognize one as that can still come more if you all like that if you if you press 2 numbers shortly after each other yes it recognized it so no button for that that is very no okay anyone any other functionalities of our i think these are the most important function you still have the pictures over there yeah so yeah that is about it you do need milt or did like this one you do it no we just said we did not are we all right all right well no okay well because we can integrate with any other remotes all those buttons on those pictures are irrelevant so just for a television is that all we need yeah it is most useful this way it has your basic function teletext is gone so all those buttons that are to do with teletext 0 screen placing you have those buttons about and there is 2 important ones we are forgetting there is a screen you can make it wider and less wide and the button that you can go to a for your video right i do think we have to put that underneath the clap those 2 but it is just too and we just left just to under under a that is a bit waste make a little row of like 4 buttons down yes yeah okay right or think at the top your lcd scanners going to go you can put 2 or 3 buttons under another section that is that is too complicated you can just put it somewhere they are not used much not as much as those others so put it somewhere smaller round yes a bit smaller and well and and i think more at the bottom yeah yeah or at the top yeah what do you think in those those buttons about i think they should in an in an isolated part of the remote and where well we designed it later we have it and we designed later where everything goes now well any other well if you why do you go to video if you go to video that is always on your remote control yeah but to avie to have the video channel that is just 0 yeah no no not always not at my remote yeah 0 is a different channel than the video channel yeah but when you step down 0 you get to avi yes i do not i go to 99 then you press 99 i think go to video is that is the button but but it is easy to go i mean do if you are at a channel 55 and you want to go immediately to the video channel you do you have to push to no below 0 more easy to get to a with a specific i use it yeah but if we are choosing to incorporate these buttons you have to channel setting if you want if you have the new tv you have to set the channels all these different buttons i do not have buttons for channels something especially on my remote yeah well it is different screen settings +and down you have one button from set frequency or something and then with +and minus you can adjust the that is the only one we put in there so we show you have 14 for a screen of channel setting yeah to yeah of course to configure the program 0 the ok button 0 you always have in the center an okay button yeah for your menu menu button you should yeah i think that is important channel setting menu and the settings to change the brightness and the contrast okay channel yeah so chief chief yes say the menu button is also important yes i have to put it in where i do not see it here 0 many all right i think things like contrast and brightness should be in the menu and you can then adjust it with the zepen buttons or something because the zephyne buttons are in the menu guys we are going to go to our rooms and we will have to decide things on our own i think yes chief all right we have lunch time by the way now i am hungry i am hungry lunch get into my belly we did not exactly do everything man we go in the pauses sticent though do see you will light mike so i must have a closing say i had the closing not done hey i must have a closing do for my presentation you have just done
