okay welcome to our 2nd meeting this is the functional design meeting and i hope you all had a good individual working time okay let us get started okay here is the agenda for the meeting after the opening i am going to fulfill the role of secretary take the meeting minutes and we are going to have 3 presentations one from each of you then we are going to discuss some new project requirements going to come to a decision on the functions of the remote control and then we are going to close up the meeting and we are going to do this all in about 40 minutes okay 1st i want to discuss the goals of this meeting 1st we need to determine the user requirements and the question that we can ask ourselves is what needs and desires are to be fulfilled by this remote control and then we are going to determine the technical functions what is the effect of the apparatus what actually is it supposed to do what do people pick up the remote and use it for and then lastly we are going to determine its working design how exactly will it perform its functions that is the whole technical side of kay i will just give you a minute cause it looks like you are making some notes kay 0 well let us go ahead and back previous so what i want to do right now is hear from all 3 of you on your research that you just did who would like to start us off i do not mind going 1st kay okay do you have a powerpoint or no yeah it is in the should be in the m project okay do you want us to do our powerpoints now or you know you could you could do it yourself actually 0 did you send it save it in the project documents put it in project documents yeah okay this one sure okay yeah okay okay great well the function of a remote control as what we have been informed is basically to send messages to the television set for example switch it on switch it off go to this channel go to channel 9 turn the volume up etcetera some of the considerations is just for example the what it needs to include it is the numbers you know 0 to 9 so you can move to a channel the power button on slash off the channel going up and down volume going up and down and then mute a mute function and then functions for v h s d v d for example play rewind fast forward stop pause enter and enter would be for like you know the menus and then other menus for d v as well as t v whether that means like we can go and decide the brightness of the screen things like that all the more complicated functions of menus and we can decide if that is what we want if we want to include that on the remote okay if that is something that would stay on the t v itself for example okay these are 2 examples and you can see on the left it has got a lot more buttons and i do not know if you can read it but it says step go to freeze slow repeat program mute and so those are some of the buttons and so it gives you an idea of s one example and then on the right it is a lot more simpler it has got volume it has got the play the like circle set which is play rewind but it is also what is fast forward is also like next on a menu so you have functions that are d duplicating right and you have a mute button and then the numbers and the eject and the power button so that gives you 2 different kinds a more complex and more simple version okay ready and then lastly it is just the questions that we want to consider like what functions do we want it to include and how simple complex it should be and what functions it needs to complete what are needed to complete insulation process cause you know that is something that also has to be considered and it is going to be hopefully a one time thing when you set it up it should be set to go but we have to include the functions that can allow it to set up i in the 1st place so that is it alright very good presentation thank you you speak with such authority on the matter okay left who would like to follow that one up now that we have discussed okay i can go do you want me to run it or you want to okay yeah you should run it functional requirements yes kay alright now we have courtney with the functional requirements yes okay so we tested a 100 subjects in our lab and we just we watched them and we also made them fill out a questionnaire and we found that the users are not typically happy with current remote controls 75% think they are ugly 80% want they have are willing to spend more which is good news for us if we make it look fancier and basically w we just need something that really i mean there is some other points up there but they it needs to be snazzy and it but yet simple so that is really what we need to do wait and we need we need it to be simple yet it needs to be high tech looking so and that meaning what like they like i guess use the buttons a lot okay yeah i do not know it is from my research right okay what do you m 0 i am sorry my team was not very clear only use 10% of the buttons that is okay what do you mean by the current remote controls do not match well with the operating behavior of the user like they have to press the buttons i i think it is like the engineering versus user okay whereas like the engineering she showed that the engineering ones are more complex and users do not really need all of the buttons that are contained on there 0 right the buttons okay because they only use 10% of the buttons really yeah okay we only use 10% of our brains good point it works it is a necessary evil yeah ready for the next slide and so people say that they typically lose it as you yourself know because you probably lose your remote control all the time much like any small appliance like a cellphone and they we need something simple because most people lost well 34% say that it is just too much time to learn how to use a new one and we do not want to go we do not want to vary too far from the normal standard remote s but i mean they do need to be able to identify it and r s i i am not very sure what that is it is okay it is very important yes it is important for the remote control world wait is that like your ergonomics like your hand movements or something sh could be yeah possibly do we really need t to provide more information on what r s i is like yeah that is what my web site said i 0 channel volume power do not know i think that is a pretty good guess though yeah i would assume so i think we are supposed to know it as remote control experts it is like if you are holding it yeah but also s so the channel it is okay the volume and the power buttons are the most important on our company website you can find like the specific statistics concerning to how much each button is used but those are the definitely the top ones okay next slide yes and so personally i think that we need a modern eye catching design but it it really needs to be simple so saying from y your slide your presentation the engineering versus the user specified remotes i think that we should go with something that is more user friendly user friendly where the engineering ones the boxes tend to make it look more complicated than it really is the functionality of the product really needs to be considered as to like what type of buttons do we really need on it and it needs to be open to a wide range of consumers so even though we need a small number of buttons we also need to take in like are most people going to be using it for a d v d player a tivo what what exactly are we using it for as well as the age range so we need a hip but not a corny marketing scheme for promoting our product and also we found our team found that speech recognition is it is like an up and coming thing they really consumers are really interested in it and since our findings found that people are willing to pay more money for a remote for it to be more high class we could consider it and so just to just to clarify by speech recognition you mean they would say channel 5 and the thing would go to channel 5 i guess so yeah okay to just say where are you and thing beeps you know 0 that would be lovely yeah i guess we can interpret it like we can just try out different types of speech recognition within our remote program yeah did not they did not our rival companies manufacture a remote that you would press the button on the t v and it would the remote would beep so if you have lost it it is kinda like what the remote phone used to do 0 yeah that is true you know like go to the base we could definitely include that if we wanted to yeah if it is within our price okay are we ready for our last presentation amber yeah i am just trying to move it okay kay i think it should be there working design working design there we go kay kay i did not get a chance to complete this one cause some of the tools that i was given were frustrating 0 my bad 0 that is fine okay so method method of our design i think i just start listing th some of the things that we actually need to put into this help me we need a power source we are going to need a smart chip if we are going to make it multi functional extra functions will probably need an additional chip either that or the smart chip will have to be extremely smart what exactly is a smart chip usually a smart chip is just a chip that has been programmed and designed so that it can complete a fair range of functions well how much extra would the additional chip be is that going to push us over our production costs i would not think so cause we could probably get it from like in bulk from a a newer company and they tend to sell their chips pretty cheap okay ready yep nothing here that is okay power source i figured batteries cause they are easily available typically a remote has either 2 double a s or 4 triple a s sometimes 3 it really kinda depends on the size of the actual remote itself a large on off button demographically we are moving towards an older generation of people so a large on off button would probably be good selection button for various entertainment devices so you want something that will permit you to select the d v d player or the t v or the stereo system smart chip that perverts that permits sorry universal application again something that will allow us to skip over between devices and that is kinda it this is my 52nd design power source over here we are going to have a switch obviously between the power source and the rest of it and you are going to need the switch extra bulb could just be for flashiness subcomponent which would be like a way of diverting the power to different parts of the the device the chip and of course the infra red bulb so it can communicate with the various devices that it needs to talk to so what exactly we are looking at is this like the front of the remote this is just like a rough schematic so this is the internal workings so this would be the front so the red would be the front of the remote though right 0 okay yeah yeah that is going to be what is communicating with the t v but the other bulb i think okay is good to just to indicate i am doing something it is sort of like a reassurance the l the light up kind of yeah like that we know the battery is working yeah so you do not have to stare at that infra red cause you know when the battery starts dying in your remote currently you have to actually stare at that bulb and go okay when i push this button is it working okay it would probably be lighting up the key too right we can skip that whole thing yep yeah yeah kay so you can put it in the dark the buttons yeah and that is good we should make it glow in the dark okay yeah definitely kay nex r ready yeah that is it kay any p kay kay anything you want to add for personal preferences though you f you said already that we needed a large on off button you think i think that that is a good idea because you know that is one of the most important buttons anything else just okay well should it be larger buttons in general you know like the examples that i had they were swi quite small so should we try and go for something that has l larger buttons i think we should like i think that would be in a as in like in for the design sorry i think we should definitely go with buttons that do not look like a normal remote cause most remotes have small square buttons i think we should do something like maybe bigger and round like bubbles ovals yeah yeah okay okay let us talk about all of our we will come to decision later about all the components that we need to include let us wrap up this one and i am going to go back to my powerpoint cause we need to discuss the new project requirements which you might have already seen flashed up on the screen a bit earlier wait come back alright sorry let us go through this alright here we go new product requirements 1st it is only going to be a t v remote we are trying not to over complicate things so no d v d no tivo no stereo okay it is not going to be multi functional hey and we th need to promote our company more so we need to somehow include our color and our company slogan on the remote we are trying to get our name out there in the world okay and you know what teletext is yeah in states we do not have it but it is like they just have this channel where just has news and weather kind of sports i know what is it it is very bland looking it is just text on the screen not even yeah just black with just text yeah it is like black black and white kind of like running along the bottom yeah you can also get the kind of the t v guide so it will give you the sports wait is it like the weather channel where it has got like the ticker running on the bottom or something kind of except the entire screen it is the entire screen is just running information at random yeah it is the whole screen you can pick sports you can pick the news you entertainment you know it is like so anyway seemingly so it is like a separate channel from like what you are watching right right yeah but it is becoming out dated now because of the internet nobody needs to go to the teletext channel to check the news and we have 24 hour news channels now too so those are our new product requirements okay okay so do we have to include the company color within that alright yes it is part of the logo okay company color being yellow what we are going to do right now is come to some decisions definitive that we can all agree on about the target group and the functions and just definite things that we need to do and then we will close up the meeting so alright whatever okay so our target group is you mentioned older people would it just be universal for everyone you think because i think even if something has large buttons as long as they are not childishly large like even technically it is going to make it nicer yeah non technically challenged people are going to use it i mean they want something user friendly so well even if we kept the regular standard size of remote if we reduced the buttons down to the ones that people are saying that they use the most often and a couple extra cause they are saying they only use 10% of them then we should be able to accommodate fairly decent sized buttons yeah yeah okay so we want for our target group would we say i mean young and old all age ranges all not kids obviously right or kids no kids need to know how to use a remote i would think most of them will intuitively pick it up though they got to change between disney channel cartoon network okay so we are going to go anywhere from kids to adult in the age range what about yeah i think we need it all technic technical specifications like how how technically literate are these people who are going to be using our remote i would say we should say dumber than the average person we should go for the lowest denominator okay yeah right okay high school educated so so they need no technical experience to operate how bout little to no because there is no way that you are going to be able to make it no okay and we also need to determine the specific functions of this just to get it all out on paper so we said it needs to send messages to the t v needs to change the channel turn on and off just basic simple stuff like this so if you have something just say it and we will add it to my meeting minutes well it is channel on off button volume mute volume and channel yeah those are the most important ones right and we want to keep i will make a note here that we want to keep the number of buttons down correct because people only use 10% yeah kay hey what else do we want this thing to be able to be found easily i think so what do you sure yeah a finding kind of device or yeah ho homing device and i need we we need a like homing device like if this is going to get lost underneath the coach how are we going to accommodate the quick ability to find it 0 right yeah okay kay tracking because people really are looking for a remote that is more high tech okay right what if we gave it a charger and on the charger just like a phone like you get a portable phone and it has got a charger and if you d leave your phone somewhere but you got a base you push the button to find it and it finds th the phone beeps for you do you think people will really go for that though because it is useful for the remote phone yeah would that add to our costs at all i wonder i would think so because you would have to develop a base right well if you have the base you could start putting in a charger and then you have a different kind of battery yeah rechargeable batteries are cheaper usually yeah okay i i think we can make a decision about that later we will still put that as a point that we need to discuss so that would include battery source power source rather is it going to have a charger or is it going to be run strictly off batteries and we also need to deal with the issue you mentioned of speech recognition if we want that right do w well then we could if we have the speech recognition then we can start aiming at a like another kind of more handicapped disabled demo demographic well th there is the people who desire speech recognition there is the different demog demographics have different desires i do not know if you guys ge you could we could hook it up it would not copy onto the the thing cause it is black but all the different age groups have different desires for speech recognition 0 so basically older people do not really care it is really the people 25 to 35 i feel those are the people that really watch a lot of t v though they are the ones that get addicted to soap operas and well and if and if we introduced it when they are this age they are going to probably always buy a remote that has just sitcoms and stuff right so well then then do you put the voice recognition do you put the r like receiver on the actual television in the base or in the actual remote cause then you have already got remote in your hand why you just going to speak to the remote right whereas if you just speak in general and you do not have to have the remote in your hand and like talk at it yeah and the speech recognition could be part of the lost and found device too if we said find remote locate remote or something right a certain phrase then it could beep i dunno just throwing it out there yeah well still 15 minutes okay anything else we want to discuss well do we want to include the numbers like 0 through 9 can we conceive of leaving them out wait on the remote itself yeah like you have 1234567890 well we definitely need those how how yeah how would you leave those out yeah well i do not know i mean if you can like well i do not know if there is just a way of leaving them out unless you could say the channel i think people would find that too foreign yeah yeah that is true you definitely need and also remember that in this day in age we need you know like a 100 button too i used to have a remote that did not even go up past like 50 so i could not whenever i got cable i had to get a new t v it is when we get satellite get your own remote or digital cable yeah kay i guess we are going to discuss the project financing later making sure that we can fit all of the stuff that we want to on our budget yeah cause i do not have any material pricing information available to me at the moment so kay and do not forget we need to include the color of our company and the logo the color being yellow wait i am guessing and how do we i feel like a ye i feel like a yellow one would be too garish and the r r r the double r we could just have the logo in yellow or maybe a yellow light for the keys can not make it entirely or is the l or put like stripes 0 yeah yellow lights yeah yellow could be and it could does not have to be huge yeah well if you have like a hang on if you have this sort of strip kind of down at the bottom the base of it just like yellow with the r r right so we have simplified we do not need all those play fast forward rewind right yeah yeah or no menu buttons so we have pretty much pared it down to on off volume mute channel up and down the numbers yeah yeah can we go back to i am going to look really quickly back at those 2 examples examples and see if there is anything yeah which one is yours technical functions or functional requirement 0 it is a yeah okay yeah audi audio settings and screen settings we need those like audio settings mono stereo pitch screen settings like brightness color or do we just want that accessed accessed from the television itself the t v i think that that is fine just for the t v i mean how often does the average user need to do that kind of stuff well the other option is sort of like down at the bottom like farther away you just have this sort of box inset where it is like the buttons that you do not use as much but occasionally you will use yeah cause we need to we definitely need to have buttons for like sub titles and things like that and so it is like it is cause the foreign film market is expanding and stuff and like on television like i know f k living in los angeles it is tons of spanish network television if it has english sub titles it is definitely helpful could not we do that all through one button something a menu button that pops up with a menu on the t v that says i do not well i do not know you know audio video whatever language you know right so we need up down and side to side buttons well that could be no you could just double up with like the channel or the volume buttons for the menus that is true yeah okay channel is just up and down okay yeah and then add a something that looks mayb you know such as yeah the one the one over there on the left the engineering centered one y right right right right yeah that one so we just have it like add a menu button then for the various things needed right including v voice recognition if we have any like settings for voice recognition now in the middle perhaps included in the menu yep ooh i just got an idea for a design good anybody have anything else they would like to bring up in this meeting i had something but i forgot okay get out of here let us go back to the meeting closure then and see what we need to do next alright after this meeting we are going to be sent a questionnaire and summary again which we need to reply to that e mail and then we are going to have lunch break and after lunch 30 minutes of individual work time i am going to put the minutes i put the minutes for the 1st meeting already in the project documents folder if you would like to review them and i am going to type up the minutes for this one as well here is what we are each going to do the i d is going to work on the components concept u i d the user interface concept and you are going to do some trend watching kay specific instructions will be sent to you by your personal coach and if anybody has anything they would like to add no okay well this meeting is officially over thank you all
i know i am good again was the questionnaire supposed to be filled in before after the maybe we just got 3rd one do you want us to do it really fast or wait okay okay okay 0 there we go okay welcome to our 2nd meeting meeting this is the functional design meeting and i hope you all had a good individual working time okay let us get started okay here is the agenda for the meeting after the opening i am going to fulfill the role of secretary take the meeting minutes then we are going to have 3 presentations one from each of you then we are going to discuss some new project requirements i am going to come to a decision on the functions of the remote control and then and we are going to close up the meeting and we are going to do this all in about 40 minutes okay 1st i want to discuss the goals of this meeting 1st we need to determine the user requirements and the question that we can ask ourselves is what needs and desires are to be fulfilled by this remote control and then we are going to determine the technical functions what is the effect of the apparatus what actually is it supposed to do what do people pick up a remote and use it for and then lastly we are going to determine its working design how exactly will it perform its functions that is the whole technical side of i will just give you a minute because it looks like you are making some notes okay well let us go ahead and go back previous so what i want to do right now is hear from all 3 of you on your research that you just did who would like to start us off i do not like going 1st okay do you have a powerpoint or no yeah it should be in the do you want us to do our powerpoints now no you could do it yourself actually 0 did you send it save it in the project documents yeah okay this one sure okay yeah okay okay great okay 0 the function of a remote control as what we have been informed is basically to send messages just the television set for example switch it on switch it off go to this channel go to channel 9 turn the volume up etc some of the considerations is just for example what it needs to include is the numbers you know is 0 to 9 so you can move to the power button on slash off the channel going up and down going up and down and then mute and then functions for vhs dvd for example play rewind fast forward stop pause enter and enter would be for like you know the menus and then other menus for dv as well as tv whether that means like we can go and decide the brightness of the screen things like that all the more complicated functions of menus and we can decide if that is what we want to sign what we want in that if we want to include that on the remote or if that is something that would stay on the tv itself for example ok these are 2 examples and you can see on the left it has got a lot more buttons and i do not know if you can read it but it says step go to freeze slow repeat program mute and so those are some of the buttons and so it gives you an idea one example and then on the right it is a lot more simpler it has got volume it has got the circle set which is play rewind but it is also what is fast forward is also like next on a menu so you have functions that are duplicating and you have a mute button and the numbers and the eject and the power button so that gives you 2 different kinds of more complex and more simple version okay ready and then lastly it is just the questions that we want to consider like what functions do we want it to include and how simple complex it should be and what functions it needs to complete what are needed to complete the installation process because you know something that also has to be considered and it is going to be hopefully a one time thing when you set it up should be set to go but we have to include the functions that can allow it to set up in the 1st place okay so that is it all right very good presentation thank you speak with such a already on the menu okay who would like to follow that one up now that we can go okay do you want me to run it yeah you should run it okay functional requirements yes okay okay okay so we have courtney with the functional requirements yes okay so we tested 100 subjects in our lab and we watched them and we also made them fill out a questionnaire and we found that the users are not typically happy with current remote controls 75% think they are ugly 80% want they are willing to spend more which is good news for us if we make it look fancier and basically we just need something that really i mean there is some other points up there but they it needs to be shnazzy but yet simple so that is really what we need to do and we need it to be simple yet it needs to be high tech looking so that meaning like they like i guess use the buttons a lot i do not know it is from my research okay my team was not very clear 0 i am sorry what do you mean by the current remote controls not match well the operating behavior of the user i think it is like the engineering versus user whereas like the engineering she showed that the engineering ones are more complex 0 right and users do not really need all of the buttons that are contained on there okay because they only use 10% of the buttons really yeah okay we only use 10% of our brains good point it works it is a necessary tool yeah ready for the next slide and so people say that they typically lose it as you yourself know because you probably lose your remote control all the time much like any small appliance like a cell phone and they we need something simple because most people well 34% say that it is just too much time to learn how to use a new one and we do not want to go we do not want to vary too far from the normal standard remote i mean they do need to be able to identify it and rsa i am not very sure what that is it is okay it is very important it is important for the remote control world is that like ergonomics like your hand movements could be possibly you really need to provide more information on what rsi is yeah that is what my website said i think that is a pretty good guess though yeah i would assume so i think we are supposed to know it as remote control experts but also so the channel the volume and the power buttons are the most important on our company website you can find like the specific statistics concerning to how much each button is used but those are the definitely the top ones okay next slide and so personally i think that we need a modern eye catching design but it it really needs to be simple so saying from your side your presentation the engineering versus the user specified remotes i think that we should go with something that is more user friendly where the engineering ones the boxes tend to make it look more complicated than it really is the functionality of the product really needs to be considered as to like what type of buttons do we really need on it and it needs to be open to a wide range of consumers so even though we need a small number of buttons we also need to take in like are most people going to be using it for a dvd player or tivo what exactly are we using it for as well as the age range so we need a hip but not a corny marketing scheme for promoting our product and also we found our team found that speech recognition is it is like an up and coming thing consumers are really interested in it and since our findings found that people are willing to pay more money for a remote for it to be more high class we could consider it just to clarify by speech recognition you mean they would say channel 5 i guess so okay i would just say where are you the thing beeped you know yeah i guess we can interpret it like we can just try out different types of speech recognition within our did not they did not our rival companies manufacture a remote that you would press the button on the tv and the remote would beep so that if you ever lost it it is like what the remote phone used to do 0 yeah that is true you could definitely include that if we wanted to yeah if it is within our nice okay i am ready for our last presentation amber yeah i am just trying to move it okay okay i think it should be there working design okay i did not get a chance to complete this one because some of the tools that i was given were frustrated 0 that is fine okay so method method of our design i think i just started listing some of the things that we actually need to put into this we need a power source we are going to need a smart chip if we are going to make it multifunctional extra functions will probably need an additional chip either that or the smart chip will have to be extremely smart what exactly is a smart chip usually a smart chip is just a chip that has been programmed and designed so that it can complete a fair range of functions well how much extra would the additional chip be is that going to push us over our production costs i would not think so because we could probably get it from a bulk from a newer company they tend to sell their chips pretty cheap ready yep nothing here that is okay power source i figured batteries because they are easily available typically a remote has either 2 double a is or 4 triple a is sometimes 3 really kind of depends on the size of the actual remote itself a large on off button demographically we are moving towards an older generation of people so a large on off button would probably be good selection button for various entertainment devices so you want something that will permit you to select the dvd player or the tv or the stereo system smart chip that permits sorry universal application again something that will allow us to skip over between devices that is kind of it this is my 52nd design power source over here we are going to have a switch obviously between the power source and the rest of it you are going to need the switch extra bulb could just be for flashiness subcomponent which would be like a way of diverting the power to different parts of the device the chip and of course the infrared bulb so it can communicate with the various devices that it needs to talk to so what exactly are we looking at is this like the front of the this is just like a rough schematic so this is the internal workings so the red would be the front of the remote though right yeah that is going to be what is communicating with the tv but the other bulb i think is good just to indicate i am doing something sort of like a yeah so you do not have to stare at that infrared because you know when the battery starts dying on your remote currently you have to actually stare at that bulb and go okay when i push this button is it working we can skip that whole thing right yeah yeah so you can put it in the dark yeah that is good we should make it glow in the dark yeah definitely okay next right yeah that is it okay okay anything you want to add for personal preferences though you you said already that we need a large on off button you think i think that that is a good idea because you know that is one of the most important buttons okay well should it be larger buttons in general you know like the examples that i had there is quite small so sure do we try and go for something that has larger buttons i think we should like i think that would be as in like for the design sorry i think we should definitely go with buttons that do not look like a normal remote because most remotes have small square buttons i think we should do something like maybe bigger and round like bubbles okay okay let us talk about all of our we will come to a decision later about all the components that we need to include let us wrap up this one i am going to go back to my powerpoint because we need to discuss the new project requirements which you might have already seen flashed up on the screen a bit earlier wait come back all right sorry let us go through this all right here we go new product requirements 1st it is only going to be a tv remote we are trying not to over complicate things so no dvd no tivo no stereo it is not going to be multifunctional hey and we need to promote our company more so we need to somehow include our color and our company is slogan on the remote we are trying to get our name out there in the world okay and you know what teletext is yeah in the states we do not have it but what is it it is like they just have this channel where it just has news and weather kind of sports it is very bland looking is just text on the screen yeah it is like black yeah just black with like running along the bottom yeah you can also get the kind of the tv guide so wait is it like the weather channel where it has got like the ticker running on the bottom except the entire screen it is the entire screen is just running information at random so anyway you can pick the news you know it is like so it is like a separate channel from like what you are watching but it is becoming outdated now because of the internet nobody needs to go to the teletext channel to check the news and we have 24 hour news channels now too so those are our new product requirements okay so do we have to include the company color within that yes it is part of the logo okay company color being yellow what we are going to do right now is come to some decisions definitive that we can all agree on about the target group and the functions and just definite things that we need to do and then we will close up the meeting so all right okay okay would it just be universal for everyone you think because i think even if something has large buttons as long as they are not childishly large like even technically non technically challenged people are going to use it i mean they want something user friendly so well even if we kept a regular standard size of remote if we reduce the buttons down to the ones that people are saying that they use the most often and a couple extra because they are saying they only use 10% of them yeah then we should be able to accommodate fairly decent sized buttons okay so we want for our target group would we say i mean young and old all age ranges all not kids obviously right no kids need to know how to use remote most of them will intimately pick it between disney channel cartoon network okay so we are going to go anywhere yeah i think we need 2 adult in the age range what about technical technical specifications like how how technically literate are these people who are going to be using our remote i would say we should say dumber than the average person we should go for the lowest denominator yeah right okay so they need no technical experience to operate how little to know because there is no way that you are going to be able to make it no okay and we also need to determine the specific functions of this just to get it all out on paper so we said it needs to send messages to the tv needs to change the channel turn on and off just basic simple stuff like this so if you have something just say it and we will add it to my meeting minutes on off button and volume volume mute and channel yeah those are the most important ones right and we want to keep i will make a note here that we want to keep the number of buttons down correct because people only use 10% yeah hey what else do we want this thing to be able to be found easily i think so what do you sure yeah so what finding kind of we need a like homing the couch how are we going to accommodate the quick ability to find it because people really are looking for our remote that is more high tech what if we gave it a charger and on the charger just like a phone like you get a portable phone and it has got a charger and if you leave your phone somewhere you push the button to find it it finds the phone beats free it is useful for the remote phone yeah would that add to our cost at all i wonder i would think so because you would have to develop a base well if you have a base you can start putting in a charger and then you have a different kind of battery yeah rechargeable batteries are cheaper usually yeah okay i think we can make a decision about that later we will still put that as a point that we need to discuss so that would include battery source power source rather is it going to have a charger or is it going to be run strictly off batteries and we also need to deal with the issue that you mentioned of speech recognition if we want that if we have the speech recognition then we can start aiming it at like another kind of more handicapped disabled demographic well there is the people who desire speech recognition there is the different demographics have different desires i do not know if you guys can not you could it would not copy onto the things it is black but all the different age groups have different desires for speech recognition so basically older people do not really care it is really the people 25 to 35 i feel those are the people that really watch a lot of tv though they are the ones that get addicted to soap operas and sitcoms and stuff and if we introduce it when they are at this age they are going to probably always buy a remote that has well then do you put voice recognition do you put a receiver on the actual television in the base or in the actual remote because then you have already got the moat in your hand why are you just going to speak to the remote right whereas if you just speak in general and you do not have to have the remote in your hand and talk at it yeah and the speech recognition could be part of the lost and found device too if we said find remote locate remote or something a certain phrase then it could beep just throwing it out there yeah well 15 minutes okay anything else you want to discuss well do we want to include the numbers like 0 through 9 can we conceive of leaving them out wait on the remote at till yeah like you have one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 well we definitely need those yeah how do you need those out well i do not know i mean if you can see it is like well i do not know if there is just a way of leaving them out i think people would find that too foreign yeah that is true you definitely need also remember that in this day and age we need you know like a 100 button too i used to have a remote that did not even go up past like 50 so i could not whenever i got cable i had to get a new tv it is when you get satellite yeah so you get get your own remote or digital cable yeah okay i guess we are going to discuss the project financing later making sure that we can fit all of the stuff that we want to on our budget yeah because i do not have any material pricing information available to me at the moment so do not forget we need to include the color of our company and the logo the color being yellow i am guessing i feel like a yellow would be too garish we could just have the logo in yellow or maybe a yellow light for the keys or put like stripes 0 yeah yellow yeah yellow could be and it does not have to be huge yeah if you have the sort of strip kind of down at the bottom the base of it it is just like yellow with the rr right so we have simplified we do not need all those play fast forward rewind right yeah you know no menu buttons so we have pretty much paired it down to on off volume mute channel up and down the numbers can we go back to i am going to look really quickly back at those 2 examples examples yeah and see if there is anything which one was yours technical functions 0 that is the functional requirement okay yeah audio settings and screen settings we need those like audio settings mono stereo pitch screen settings like brightness color or do we just want that access from the television itself i think that that is fine just through the tv i mean how often does the average use you need to do that kind of stuff well the other option is sort of like down at the bottom like farther away you just have this sort of box inset where it is like the buttons that you do not use as much but occasionally you will use yeah because we definitely need to have buttons for like subtitles and things like that because the foreign film market is expanding and stuff and like on television like i know living in los angeles it is tons of spanish network television and if it has english subtitles it is definitely helpful we do that off through one button a menu button that pops up with a menu on the tv that says you know audio video whatever language you know right so we need up down and side to side buttons well that could be no you can just double up with like the channel or the volume buttons  that is true yeah channel is just up and down okay yeah and then i know something that such as yeah the one you know the one over there on the left the engineering center one right right right right that one so we just have like add a menu button then for the various things needed including voice recognition if we have any like settings for voice recognition though included in the menu yep 0 i just got an idea for design good anybody have anything else i would like to bring up in this meeting i had something but i forgot okay let us go back to the meeting closure then and see what we need to do next all right after this meeting we are going to be sent a questionnaire and summary again which we need to reply to that email and then we are going to have lunch break and after lunch 30 minutes of individual work time i am going to put the minutes for the 1st meeting already in the project documents folder if you would like to review them and i am going to type up the minutes for this one as well here is what we are each going to do the id is going to work on the components concept uid the user interface concept and you are going to do some trend watching specific instructions will be sent to you by your personal coach and if anybody has anything they would like to add no okay well this meeting is officially over thank you all
