Um , so it is something that people care about. It's not , it's not ignored in the household. Um , seventy five percent of remote control users said that they zap a lot. Zapping meaning they go through channels a lot.

They're you know thumb-masters. Um , and fifty percent of users say they only use ten percent of the buttons. That A very small amount. Thought that was interesting.

because I find with um channel-changers that , um , a lot of the numbers get rubbed down if they're printed on the button.


because I find with um channel-changers that , um , a lot of the numbers get rubbed down if they're printed on the button.


And actually to go with that , I'm gonna give you some statistics on the uh relevancy of the buttons , how much they're used. And uh how important the uh users find them. So the power button , obviously , in an hour is only used once. Hopefully the person's not turning on and off the T_V_. Um , but the relevance of that button is nine out of ten. So people wanna be able to turn on the T_V_ with the remote control. Um , as opposed to standing up and turning on the television set. Channel selection is used a hundred and sixty eight times on average per hour.

That's a huge amount. This is the most important button. Um , so obviously when commercials come on they're changing it , so as you said we want a durable button that's not gonna run down. Relevance of that button , our users found was uh ten , ten out of ten. Uh , ditto for volume selection , so ten out of ten. And it's used on average four times an hour. Not as much as channel selection , but still significant. Um , audio settings is used on average zero point eight times an hour. Relevance is two. Screen settings , which means brightness , colour etcetera , zero point five times an hour. Um , and relevance of one point five. We're getting to specific statistics here. Teletext , um , now I'm not too clear on what that is. I don't know if you can help me. Flipping pages.

Alright. Well I guess I'm not with it , because I wasn't  But it's , it's being used fourteen times an hour. Um , and has a r a high relevance of six point five. So it looks like something that we're gonna want to do some research on and include on our remote control.

Um , so it's not used very often , but people still find it relevant. Okay. Um , biggest frustrations of uh the people that we interviewed. Remote controls are often lost somewhere. So that was already discussed by Poppy. How we could have a , an alarm system so that people can find it. Um , takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote control.

Um  okay , here's some ideas for you. A large percentage of the public would pay for voice recognition on the remote controls. So I'll show you some numbers here. Um , so the youngest age group , fifteen to twenty five. Ninety one point two percent said that they would pay extra money to have voice recogni voice recognition included on their remote control. Um , and you can see that number decreases a bit with ol s Interestingly enough , twenty five to thirty five is the lowest amount. Um , that would , are willing to pay extra. So I guess we're gonna have to figure out what age group we're , we're targeting , and if and if voice recognition is something we wanna look into. And if we have the budget for it. Um , if we are targeting young adults , it looks like something that would pay off. Seeing as ninety percent , over ninety percent would pay for it.

It'd be like the ultimate remote.  Um  okay. And th the last thing here was a , an L_C_D_ screen. So , I mean voice recognition might be a little too extreme for us. Not practical.

Um , and finally , whoops , my personal preferences and thoughts. Um , I think our priority really should be unique design. Um , we want something that people want in their home. Every remote control looks the same , so uh in my opinion it should be , um , user-friendly and unique. So the other stuff might be a little too , a little too gadgety for some people.

Okay. That's it for the market research.


Okay. That's it for the market research.

Okay. Before we go into uh more discussion on  we want this design to look like , I've received some information from the management that will affect some of our decisions. Um , for one thing , because  Having controls with D_V_D_ , V_C_R_ , that sort of thing , would really complicate the design of the remote control. Um , we've decided not to include them and make it a specific , just a specific television um function. Which is good as , as we've sort of decided that we would like to go with that anyway. Um , for many reasons. So um we have that decision sort of made for us. Another thing that might um affect other decisions is that um the management feels that teletext is outdated , because more people are using the internet now. And so uh we won't concern ourselves with um navigating the teletext option.

Were they , was the management suggesting use of the internet rather than teletext , or just avoiding both altogether ?

Alright , and another thing. This is for the design , the design of the product is that um we wanna create , um more of a sense that people know that this is from our company. So , um , all the remote controls must have our um  We'll incorporate our logo and colour in in some way.

So , um , perhaps um our logo on the bottom , or wherever you feel like it would look good.

Um , it doesn't have to be the colour of our um of our company


Um , it doesn't have to be the colour of our um of our company


Um , it doesn't have to be the colour of our um of our company

we need to , we probably would have to have that colour and , and logo decided upon. Um , I'm assuming that we already have one , but for the purposes of this meeting I , I wasn't offered a , like a type of logo or colour , so if that could be um somewhere on the design so that we can be recognisable.

Real Reaction ? Okay. Um , yes , those are the changes. Um , so , now we need to discuss , um and come to a decision on our remote control functions , of , of how this is going to be. I'm just going to look at my notes for a second. Um , we have to decide on a target group and the functions of the remote control. So , um , we already know that it'll just be for the television.

Okay , so I  Are we going to write off the L_C_D_ option ?


It'll  It won't have teletext. But um , you know , we could discuss um those other options that you brought up , Genevieve.

Is that how most people feel about that ?


Okay , so I  Are we going to write off the L_C_D_ option ?

Is that how most people feel about that ?


Is that how most people feel about that ?


Okay. So no L_C_D_ , no teletext , and no voice recognition.


Okay. So no L_C_D_ , no teletext , and no voice recognition.

I think it would be annoying though if  I don't use teletext that much , but if it was on your T_V_ , you'd want to be able to use it , if

I think it would be annoying though if  I don't use teletext that much , but if it was on your T_V_ , you'd want to be able to use it , if

Yeah , but another thing is that if we're reaching an international crowd , um , I know for one that in North America there is no such thing as teletext , so it'd be really superfluous.

Yeah. I don't know about other countries besides the U_K_.


But if  Was it a management decision that we're having


But if  Was it a management decision that we're having

so it's , it's pretty much out of our hands at this point.


so it's , it's pretty much out of our hands at this point.


'Kay. So , I guess we're looking at something rather simple.


'Kay. So , I guess we're looking at something rather simple.

Um , well I guess , just from my findings it looks like we wanna minimise buttons.


Um , well I guess , just from my findings it looks like we wanna minimise buttons.


And the  What was the word they used ? F findability is important.


And the  What was the word they used ? F findability is important.

Yeah. I think we should definitely go ahead with the alarm system idea that you had.


Yeah. I think we should definitely go ahead with the alarm system idea that you had.

'Cause I'm sure that could be inex inexpensive because we could use the same kind of infrared

Or vibrate just the same as a mobile phone. Like you just a , a buzz or something.


Or vibrate just the same as a mobile phone. Like you just a , a buzz or something.


Would you be able to , um , put the little device anywhere ?  'Cause uh isn't our remote control for all T_V_s , so


Yeah , with the button that you pressed.


C 'cause then it would only be a applicable to one T_V_ set , so it would need to be something that you could stick somewhere , or something.


C 'cause then it would only be a applicable to one T_V_ set , so it would need to be something that you could stick somewhere , or something.

Maybe something adhesive that you could like stick onto the back of any set that would be um yeah not very obtrusive.


Maybe something adhesive that you could like stick onto the back of any set that would be um yeah not very obtrusive.

Obviously something small that's  Yeah , that's a good point.


Obviously something small that's  Yeah , that's a good point.


Obviously something small that's  Yeah , that's a good point.

Yeah. Then it wouldn't , it probably wouldn't be able to use  It would be able to use the same reception on the remote c control I guess , but the actual device would have to have its own infrared signaller.


Yeah. Then it wouldn't , it probably wouldn't be able to use  It would be able to use the same reception on the remote c control I guess , but the actual device would have to have its own infrared signaller.


That's your department you'll have to sort that out.


That's your department you'll have to sort that out.

Okay. Um , unless some way , it could have some universal connection to like the socket , the same socket that the T_V_'s supplied from. I mean the power for the T_V_.


Okay. Um , unless some way , it could have some universal connection to like the socket , the same socket that the T_V_'s supplied from. I mean the power for the T_V_.


Yeah , you'll have to investi Do some research on that ,


Yeah , you'll have to investi Do some research on that ,

alright ? Great. Um , alright , and I'm sure that , um um , the glow-in-the-dark , fluorescent , whatever , system , um is a go ahead. Is everyone interested in that ?

I I like the light up suggestion. I think that would be better.


I I like the light up suggestion. I think that would be better.

'Cause you know the way fluorescent lights lose their brightness after certain time , so


'Cause you know the way fluorescent lights lose their brightness after certain time , so


It could it could be a tactile thing as well. Um right , if w if we're minimising buttons , we might be able to make them actually larger. And there's something on it. S you know like up arrow down arrow for , for volume.

Well just the numbers could be embossed , couldn't it ? Like raised.


Well just the numbers could be embossed , couldn't it ? Like raised.

But then the like up button and down button for the channel , channel changing.


But then the like up button and down button for the channel , channel changing.

Just little arrows , that you could feel , maybe ?


Just little arrows , that you could feel , maybe ?


I just thought that  it , it might be sucking more battery power , if there , if it is a light up. I'm not sure.


And also y , uh Heather you mentioned before , um like how it should be accessible to everybody.


And also y , uh Heather you mentioned before , um like how it should be accessible to everybody.

Um , so like big b um buttons ,  for people you are visually impaired. The glow-in-the-dark or light up won't make any difference anyway.


Um , so like big b um buttons ,  for people you are visually impaired. The glow-in-the-dark or light up won't make any difference anyway.


Um , so like big b um buttons ,  for people you are visually impaired. The glow-in-the-dark or light up won't make any difference anyway.

So like you say tactile might be better , because it'd be more available to everybody.


So like you say tactile might be better , because it'd be more available to everybody.


So like you say tactile might be better , because it'd be more available to everybody.

Yeah. Could we somehow  We could , may , possibly , sorry , incorporate them both so that the buttons could maybe be in the shape of the numbers themselves and be made out of some glow-in-the-dark material.


Yeah. Could we somehow  We could , may , possibly , sorry , incorporate them both so that the buttons could maybe be in the shape of the numbers themselves and be made out of some glow-in-the-dark material.


'Cause I d I don't think that glow-in-the-dark material , um , like the actual soft plastic , um , costs that much more than other colours.


I guess the other option , referring to the battery thing is , you know how cellphones will t light up for fifteen seconds or something , when you're s and then it goes ,


I guess the other option , referring to the battery thing is , you know how cellphones will t light up for fifteen seconds or something , when you're s and then it goes ,

so if , if you're like changing the volume during a movie. I know , I'm thinking of mostly when you're watching a movie you turn all the lights off right.


so if , if you're like changing the volume during a movie. I know , I'm thinking of mostly when you're watching a movie you turn all the lights off right.


so if , if you're like changing the volume during a movie. I know , I'm thinking of mostly when you're watching a movie you turn all the lights off right.

And you don't want to turn on the lights ,  to turn it down , because there's suddenly an explosion , and it's gonna wake up the baby.


And you don't want to turn on the lights ,  to turn it down , because there's suddenly an explosion , and it's gonna wake up the baby.


And you don't want to turn on the lights ,  to turn it down , because there's suddenly an explosion , and it's gonna wake up the baby.

Um , so if you touch the button , it kind of reactivates it.


Um , so if you touch the button , it kind of reactivates it.


um , for the meeting , but I think we should discuss this light subject a little bit more before we close. Um , what was  I missed the last moment , reading that. What were you talking about with the lighting up buttons ?


um , for the meeting , but I think we should discuss this light subject a little bit more before we close. Um , what was  I missed the last moment , reading that. What were you talking about with the lighting up buttons ?

Oh , just if it was kinda the same way that a cell You know how a cellphone will light up for about ten , fifteen seconds when you touch a button , after having not touched it for a while.


um , for the meeting , but I think we should discuss this light subject a little bit more before we close. Um , what was  I missed the last moment , reading that. What were you talking about with the lighting up buttons ?

Oh , just if it was kinda the same way that a cell You know how a cellphone will light up for about ten , fifteen seconds when you touch a button , after having not touched it for a while.

Um , if instead of a constant light up on the , on the remote control , if it lights up for ten seconds when it's touched again.


Oh , just if it was kinda the same way that a cell You know how a cellphone will light up for about ten , fifteen seconds when you touch a button , after having not touched it for a while.

Um , if instead of a constant light up on the , on the remote control , if it lights up for ten seconds when it's touched again.

Mm. So it could be any button that would be pressed.


Um , if instead of a constant light up on the , on the remote control , if it lights up for ten seconds when it's touched again.

Um , if instead of a constant light up on the , on the remote control , if it lights up for ten seconds when it's touched again.

Mm. So it could be any button that would be pressed.

Yeah , and you , you touch it and it just kind of lights up a bit , and it gives a faint glow.


Mm. So it could be any button that would be pressed.

Yeah , and you , you touch it and it just kind of lights up a bit , and it gives a faint glow.


Yeah , and you , you touch it and it just kind of lights up a bit , and it gives a faint glow.

So if you have all the lights off in your living room , you'll , you'll temporarily see it.


So if you have all the lights off in your living room , you'll , you'll temporarily see it.

Because usually you're not fooling around for it for more than what ten seconds.


Because usually you're not fooling around for it for more than what ten seconds.


So , do you think that we should do the lighting up thing , and the glow-in-the-dark thing , and the shape of the numbers ? Do we have to kind of decide what we're gonna do with this.


So , do you think that we should do the lighting up thing , and the glow-in-the-dark thing , and the shape of the numbers ? Do we have to kind of decide what we're gonna do with this.

I think the shape of the numbers is a really good idea.


I think the shape of the numbers is a really good idea.


I mean , I haven't seen that. And as you're saying like numbers can wear off if they're just sort of like painted on , you know printed.


I mean , I haven't seen that. And as you're saying like numbers can wear off if they're just sort of like painted on , you know printed.

Yeah , yeah. And it could  , if it's that softer rubber material it'll be , maybe , um , uh , better for people with um els no


Yeah , yeah. And it could  , if it's that softer rubber material it'll be , maybe , um , uh , better for people with um els no

what's it called , R_S_I_ , what was it that we were talking about ?


what's it called , R_S_I_ , what was it that we were talking about ?


Okay. Um , did we want to go for the glow-in-the-dark look ?


Okay. Um , did we want to go for the glow-in-the-dark look ?

Or did we want to go for the lighting up instantly ?


Or did we want to go for the lighting up instantly ?

Like should we do both ? Or we can have one or the other ? Because it might , for , for our design purposes , I mean , the lighting up thing might be better because glow-in-the-dark material has a funny kinda colour.


Like should we do both ? Or we can have one or the other ? Because it might , for , for our design purposes , I mean , the lighting up thing might be better because glow-in-the-dark material has a funny kinda colour.

And it might not go with different like face plates that we might come up with.


And it might not go with different like face plates that we might come up with.


And it might not go with different like face plates that we might come up with.

Exactly. It the  it might be perceived as tacky , glow-in-the-dark.


Exactly. It the  it might be perceived as tacky , glow-in-the-dark.


Um , whereas we're trying to be trendy and fashionable.


Um , whereas we're trying to be trendy and fashionable.

Yeah there are now like loads , or a huge range of different colours that it could light up in as well ,


Um , whereas we're trying to be trendy and fashionable.

Yeah there are now like loads , or a huge range of different colours that it could light up in as well ,

which could like link in with the company colours. Like it could be blue or green or yellow ,

or like we've just limited t with the , just ordinary phosphorescent so


or like we've just limited t with the , just ordinary phosphorescent so

Right. Alright. So we've decided on lighting up things.


or like we've just limited t with the , just ordinary phosphorescent so

Right. Alright. So we've decided on lighting up things.

I was thinking though , if it was glow-in-the-dark , you could put the um Real Reaction symbol as glow-in-the-dark , and then it would be constantly advertised.

Right. Alright. So we've decided on lighting up things.

I was thinking though , if it was glow-in-the-dark , you could put the um Real Reaction symbol as glow-in-the-dark , and then it would be constantly advertised.

Yeah. Every time the , that it lit up , you c that could light up as well.

But with the same thing , I mean. If you touch the button and then it could be , it could be lit up as well.


Is  Are you okay with that ? Okay. Cool.


Is  Are you okay with that ? Okay. Cool.

Um  Alright. So I think that um that completes most of our um our more uh practical decisions.


Um  Alright. So I think that um that completes most of our um our more uh practical decisions.

And now it's up to designing. And um making sure that this can be feasible. And do you have anything


And now it's up to designing. And um making sure that this can be feasible. And do you have anything


And now it's up to designing. And um making sure that this can be feasible. And do you have anything

Oh sorry. Yeah well , I was just gonna throw out there the thought about um personalising the remote control. Um , it , you , 'cause you mentioned face plates. So I I dunno if there's something that diff , you know like five different face plates. I dunno if this will start making it more complicated , but it could increase the popularity of the , of the remote. Um


Oh sorry. Yeah well , I was just gonna throw out there the thought about um personalising the remote control. Um , it , you , 'cause you mentioned face plates.

Okay. Like you can have changeable um mobile covers or something.


Okay. Like you can have changeable um mobile covers or something.


And I dunno if we'd want to go with like T_V_ show themes or something. Like a Bart Simpson faceplate.


And I dunno if we'd want to go with like T_V_ show themes or something. Like a Bart Simpson faceplate.

Yeah , and then that would be uh more profitable like as a sideline to the remote as well.


Yeah , and then that would be uh more profitable like as a sideline to the remote as well.


Exactly. You could start out with three , and if , if we hit it big then we can add some on.


Yeah. I think that we should incorporate that.


Yeah. I think that we should incorporate that.

'Cause that wouldn't be very expensive at all.


'Cause that wouldn't be very expensive at all.


Interchan And also possible  I mean , uh , we could gain out of that by advertising certain T_V_ shows , or


Interchan And also possible  I mean , uh , we could gain out of that by advertising certain T_V_ shows , or

Yeah. Well , that might be com problematic with um copyright issues.


Yeah. Well , that might be com problematic with um copyright issues.

So , if it takes off then we'll , we'll , we'll try that out.


So , if it takes off then we'll , we'll , we'll try that out.


So , if it takes off then we'll , we'll , we'll try that out.

Yeah. We could  Um , the environmental factor , we didn't bring that up again.


Yeah. We could  Um , the environmental factor , we didn't bring that up again.


Yeah. We could  Um , the environmental factor , we didn't bring that up again.

We'll have to do more research. Like as of yet , that has nothing to do with , um , the way it'll look. Um , does it need to be reached a de

Okay. Good. Alright then. Anyone else have anything more to say before we close ?


I think we could probably leave that 'til later on , then.

Okay. Good. Alright then. Anyone else have anything more to say before we close ?

Alright , well. Let's have lunch and we'll discuss this later.


Alright , well. Let's have lunch and we'll discuss this later.


So I guess this is more or less now just to get you up to date , Johno. This is what , uh ,


Um. I don't know. There were , like , the  you know , @ @ and all that stuff. But. I thought you  you said you were adding stuff


Um. I don't know. There were , like , the  you know , @ @ and all that stuff. But. I thought you  you said you were adding stuff

This is  Um , Ha ! Very nice. Um , so we thought that ,  We can write up uh , an element , and  for each of the situation nodes that we observed in the Bayes - net ? So.

So this is just , again , a an XML schemata which defines a set of possible , uh , permissible XML structures , which we view as input into the Bayes - net. Right ?


So this is just , again , a an XML schemata which defines a set of possible , uh , permissible XML structures , which we view as input into the Bayes - net. Right ?

That 's  That 's no problem , but I even think that , um  I mean , once  Once you have this sort of as  running as a module  Right ? What you want is  You wanna say , " OK , give me the posterior probabilities of the Go - there  node , when this is happening. " Right ? When the person said this , the car is there , it 's raining , and this is happening. And with this you can specify the  what 's happening in the situation , and what 's happening with the user. So we get  After we are done , through the Situation we get the User Vector. So , this is a

So this is just a specification of all the possible inputs ?

Yep. And , all the possible outputs , too. So , we have , um , for example , the , uh , Go - there decision node


So this is just a specification of all the possible inputs ?

Yep. And , all the possible outputs , too. So , we have , um , for example , the , uh , Go - there decision node

which has two elements , going - there and its posterior probability , and not - going - there and its posterior probability , because the output is always gonna be all the decision nodes and all the  the  a all the posterior probabilities for all the values.

And then we would just look at the , eh , Struct that we wanna look at in terms of if  if we 're only asking about one of the  So like , if I 'm just interested in the going - there node , I would just pull that information out of the Struct that gets return that would  that Java Bayes would output ?

Um , pretty much , yes , but I think it 's a little bit more complex. As , if I understand it correctly , it always gives you all the posterior probabilities for all the values of all decision nodes. So , when we input something , we always get the , uh , posterior probabilities for all of these. Right ?

So  so we get this whole list of  of , um , things , and the question is what to do with it , what to hand on , how to interpret it , in a sense. So y you said if you  " I 'm only interested in whether he wants to go there or not " , then I just look at that node , look which one

Well i well , it 's an XML Structure that 's being res returned ,

Yeah. No , I can  I can do the Timing node in here , too , and say " OK. "

Well , yeah , but in the s uh , let 's just deal with the s the simple case of we 're not worrying about timing or anything. We just want to know how we should answer " Where is X ? "

OK. And , um , OK , and , Go - there has two values , right ? , Go - there and not - Go - there. Let 's assume those are the posterior probabilities of that.

Info - on has True or False and Location. So , he wants to know something about it , and he wants to know something  he wants to know Where - it - is ,

And , um , in this case we would probably all agree that he wants to go there. Our belief - net thinks he wants to go there ,


In the , uh , whatever , if we have something like this here , and this like that and maybe here also some

You should probably  make them out of  Yeah.


You should probably  make them out of  Yeah.

then we would guess , " Aha ! He , our belief - net ,  has s stronger beliefs that he wants to know where it is , than actually wants to go  there. " Right ?

What do you mean by " differently weighted " ? They don't feed into anything really anymore.

If we trusted the Go - there node more th much more than we trusted the other ones , then we would conclude , even in this situation , that he wanted to go there.

So , in that sense , we weight them equally right now.

So the But I guess the k the question  that I was as er wondering or maybe Robert was proposing to me is  How do we d make the decision on  as to  which one to listen to ?

Yeah , so , the final d decision is the combination of these three. So again , it 's  it 's some kind of , uh
