Um so first of all we  what we did is we um conducted a an experiment with a hundred test subjects. Um we put them in a in our um usability laboratory and got them to , you know , um play with remote controls , and also to complete , after they'd done that , to complete a questionnaire uh to tell us what they like and what they don't like in remote controls.   So basically um the major things we found out was that um basically users don't like the look and feel of of most remote controls that are currently on the market. Um they , you know , seventy five percent of the people we we uh did the experiments on , found that rem remote the remote controls that they'd used in the past were ugly. Completely ugly. Um they they didn't match the operating behaviour of the user , that is , you know , the the way users use remote controls when they're watching T_V_. Um , that the layout of the remote controls didn't match they way that they used it. Um and thirdly they say that w half of the users that we um tested said that they only used ten percent of the buttons that uh are on remote controls. Um so we collect we also some collected some usage statistics uh based on how these test subjects were using their remote control. And from this we basically came up with the figure that the channel buttons , the channel selection buttons are the most  by far the most used buttons on the remote control. Um and you can see they're used a hundred and sixty eight times per hour on average , um , while the user's watching T_V_.

Um the closest button that was used , well the cl the button that was used that was closest to the channel button was the teletext button , um which was used fourteen times per hour , followed by the volume button , which was four times per hour , um , all the other , all the other um buttons , such as ch um audio and picture selection um configuration buttons and things were used , you know , l approx well less than or equal to one times per hour. Um we also asked users um which buttons had the most importance to them , you know , which which buttons they felt were the most important buttons on on the remote control. And basically they came  they said the channel , volume , and power buttons had the highest relevance to users , um note that only power was very infrequently used , it only had a b a a fr usage frequency of about one times per hour , but users ranked it as having a very very high relevance. Um and the audio and picture settings had a very  that well the users thought that um w the audio and picture settings were very uh weren't very important to them um , and they used them very infrequently a as well.  So we asked users what what um frustrates them the most about um current remote controls. And fifty percent of the users said that uh what frustrates them is losing the remote control um somewhere in the room and not being able to find it. Um  they also said that it um it takes a lot of time to learn a new remote control , especially when there's many buttons and it's a , you know , a c a a unintuitive interface. Um and then thirdly , they  some users commented on the fact that the the you know the way that you have to hold and press buttons on a remote control ar are bad and um cause u repetitive strain injury.  We also asked some users about some specific features that they'd like to see in the  on the remote control. In particular , do they want an L_C_D_ d display , and secondly , do they think speech recognition uh is a useful feature to have on a remote control.

Um basically our findings are that um amongst a younger age groups uh the answer is umv overwhelmingly yes. They want these features , they want these high technology features.

Um for instance , ninety one percent of pe of people aged between fifteen and twenty five said yes , they want these features. Whereas um  the the trend was as users as users um became older and older uh they were less likely to want these sort of features in a um in a remote control. So I guess it depends on where we're focusing our our market. Um and as our company motto is putting fashion in electronics , um I think we're focusing on the younger younger um target demographic , and so maybe we should think about adding these sort of high technology features into our remote control.

Okay , so here is my presentation about technical function design. I will talk about different components and s of system and how they react together. Okay , uh , first what is a remote control ? Simply it's a device , as you know , for uh , for sending some commands by some waves to uh another device to to tell different commands uh with this device. And the main idea we don't use any cable and we can rec react simpler with the device. Uh i it has different blocks , different blocks. Uh first is remote control have sh ha should have some electric circuits uh making interface with uh keyboard and uh r reading uh keyboard and reading the keyboard uh commands. And then inter then make uh these keyboard commands , uh in interpret these int uh keyboard commands. And then there should be uh an electronic circuit making uh electronic signals according to these commands and uh finally there is a transmitter which is a cord or a a diode making uh making uh waves to transmit through the air and uh uh this air this uh wave uh will be received by the by the other device like a television or whatever , to uh r to realise the command. Okay ,  uh about  what I found about uh different uh these different blocks are uh , usually there are two different methods uh to  for designing a remote control. They are based on infra-red uh waves or uh uh radio waves.

There are two different uh uh solutions I mean. This is uh this can be uh uh the the differences the th between different kind of waves , infra-red or radio waves. And uh also as uh I understood , and uh I think it was a part of uh Bob , uh uh presentation , people prefer to have uh to have uh the remote control with less button. So for the electronic part , working and interfacing , with button , we should we should try to t try to design a remote control having uh some some simpler buttons or some rolling buttons to just to just to search between different options , and showing o something on T_V_ and putting less lesser stuff on the uh on the remote control. And uh personal preferences , uh uh uh uh certainly a remote control with  uh working with radio waves is uh preferred because uh you can pr you can take it in any direction and you don't need to tune it any way. And uh uh again , using bigger buttons and less number of buttons are also preferred , as I see. Okay. That was my presentation.

Do you think radio waves um will interfere with other appliances in the home ?


Do you think radio waves um will interfere with other appliances in the home ?

Uh , I don't think so , because uh we can make uh we ca we can make this wave in a specific frequency. So they can be in a range which is not inter interfering with the  with other devices inside the home.

Uh no but as I know , there is a range for uh for this uh f for for uh for this stuff , for designing this circuit. We can we can we can tune our uh transmitter to work in this range , and for this range we don't need to ask any permission.

It's uh kind of handshaking , uh , when starting to  uh when you start to communicate with the your T_V_ then then it's like an handshaking protocol with your your remote.


It's uh kind of handshaking , uh , when starting to  uh when you start to communicate with the your T_V_ then then it's like an handshaking protocol with your your remote.

So so if two two devices are trying to go to communicate with the T_V_ set then the the the one which has the more energy in the wave is chosen. Well it can be a problem sometimes , but most of the time it works okay.

Yeah but we we don't have to think uh about this because I think as a function designer that we will use the already made uh circuits which we probably bu buy. It's worth to buy.

So , maybe you can talk about the function , and


So , maybe you can talk about the function , and

Yes. I have only a couple of things because I had  I struggled a bit with the software that I'm supposed to use in this uh uh in this company. I was used to use Linux before , so. But I tried to tried to break through this  too , I guess.


Yes. I have only a couple of things because I had  I struggled a bit with the software that I'm supposed to use in this uh uh in this company. I was used to use Linux before , so. But I tried to tried to break through this  too , I guess.


Okay. Oh so I will speak about working design. That's the first slide. Uh what uh I have to do ? A look at what the other company  Okay so uh presently I am looking what is possible to use , what circuits to use and stuff like that because uh I didn't work uh with these uh circuits so far so I have to look what what is a v a v available on the market for for the communication  for the I_R_ circuits and so on , so I'm currently looking what is available on the web. And uh I wanted to ask you m maybe afterwards , after after our discussion , if we have some contacts in some companies , so , which can report on what is going on there , so , I would be glad if you can tell me about them.

So , you know. Uh , okay findings , that's  the point that I'm working on currently but uh so far I I was uh looking what what are the blue circuit , I mean radio wave  radio frequency circuits are available now ,


So , you know. Uh , okay findings , that's  the point that I'm working on currently but uh so far I I was uh looking what what are the blue circuit , I mean radio wave  radio frequency circuits are available now ,

but the prices I read are high. So , I know that uh the user interface people and these speak about radio frequency waves because you can you can uh you can make the T_V_ do what you want even if you are in the bathroom or so on ,

but you know , when you are not close to the T_V_ you probably won't need to to change the program and so on and so I am I am voting for s to stick to the um infra-red control instead of R_W_ but we will discuss it later maybe. Uh. Components to use , I'm not exactly sure what I will use for the design of the circuit. It depends uh on whether we will use the L_C_D_ and mainly the speech recognition ,

But I'm not sure about the circuit which is responsible for speech recognition. This I prefer that we should make ourselves.

But it depends whether we take a decision to use it. Same thing. It's fairly expensive to use these circuits. So , speech recognition  well , L_C_D_ it's okay because it's common nowadays to use L_C_D_ ,

Yeah. So what do you think would be the price , it would be out of range ?


Yeah. So what do you think would be the price , it would be out of range ?


Yeah. So what do you think would be the price , it would be out of range ?

Oh. I was not thinking too much about the price. But if we use the L_C_D_ uh even the radio frequency communication with the T_V_ set and the backlight and uh related things like the photo diodes and stuff , it should be okay. If we decide to use the speech recognition , then we probably could struggle but we'll see afterwards.

It depends of you if if the M_E_ or U_I_D_ ,

I'm sorry about the names , I don't really know , uh want to have it like in metal or in plastic , these things , it it depends on you not  Because the the the electronic device's price is not not so big in comparison to to the overall shape and stuff like that , so.

We will discuss it afterwards. Oh , this is nothing. This is just my notes on what to use. And uh my personal preference is yes , I would like also preferably to use R_W_ circuit , but from the point of view uh of the design and price , I would stick to I_R_s. That's my opinion. Uh I mean if infra-red uh circuit not not the radio frequency.

What how much more expensive ? Are we talking three times more expensive ?

Yeah yeah. That's still a lot. I think it's it's probably not worth spending the extra money ,


Yeah yeah. That's still a lot. I think it's it's probably not worth spending the extra money ,

because I mean all the other remote controls on the market have infra-red , so people don't expect anything other than infra-red.

So um I have to inform you I receive an email from the management bon board today and they have new requirements for the for the remote control. Um


So um I have to inform you I receive an email from the management bon board today and they have new requirements for the for the remote control. Um

first um , they say that's uh about something about t teletext. Uh apparently it becomes from  according to them it becomes out of date. Out-dated. And uh  Because of the internet popularity and everybody has internet at home , and actually it's not useful to have teletext. Um. So I think we can avoid the teletext. Um the second thing is uh they suggest that that we should uh use the remote control only for T_V_ , not for D_V_D_ and other devices , because it make it  it makes it's too complex and uh because we have not much time for this project we should stay on T_V_ on the  only specific T_V_ remote control.

The third  the third one is uh about the the the image of the company. So um uh we should we should keep uh  The the product should be recognisable. Uh , uh It's  That mean we should use the colour of our company and maybe put somewhere the s the slogan of the company , which is uh , we put fashion of  in electronics. So , when people see the the remote control , they should say oh it's from Real Reaction and he s they should recognise the company. So , um  So now we we should take the decision what we are going to  what function we will have on this uh on this remote control. So , mm , are we going to use L_C_D_ , speech recognition ? Uh.

Okay , so the available things are L_C_D_ , the buttons and everything. Uh radio frequency depends. And , well the recognition it depends on you guys.


Okay , so the available things are L_C_D_ , the buttons and everything. Uh radio frequency depends. And , well the recognition it depends on you guys.

Yeah but first maybe what is  what are the usual function of a standard remote control ?


Yeah but first maybe what is  what are the usual function of a standard remote control ?


Okay , well , I mean the obvious one is changing channels.


Okay , well , I mean the obvious one is changing channels.

I think we should stick on very useful functions , because we want less button.


I think we should stick on very useful functions , because we want less button.


So , turning channel , of course. Volume setting.


So , turning channel , of course. Volume setting.

Uh just one note to the chan channel changing. Do we  will we use only two buttons , or or like numbered buttons ? I mean those nine plus one or two ?


Uh just one note to the chan channel changing. Do we  will we use only two buttons , or or like numbered buttons ? I mean those nine plus one or two ?


Because it's many buttons and we were speaking about lowering the number.


Because it's many buttons and we were speaking about lowering the number.

On the other side we have more and more channels , and if you want to pass through all the channels to get the channel you want , it's

On the other side we have more and more channels , and if you want to pass through all the channels to get the channel you want , it's

Okay so so we keep all these all these buttons.


Okay so so we keep all these all these buttons.

Maybe maybe we could think of something more betweens , like


Maybe maybe we could think of something more betweens , like

Like ten plus , five plus , one plus , one minus or something.


Like ten plus , five plus , one plus , one minus or something.


Oh I don't know. Oh. Maybe we could have key buttons , like uh discovery channe like documentary channel , and movies channel and


Oh I don't know. Oh. Maybe we could have key buttons , like uh discovery channe like documentary channel , and movies channel and

And inside this this thing you can move , maybe switch.


Oh I don't know. Oh. Maybe we could have key buttons , like uh discovery channe like documentary channel , and movies channel and

And inside this this thing you can move , maybe switch.

Mm-hmm. Okay. Like categorising channels.


And inside this this thing you can move , maybe switch.

Mm-hmm. Okay. Like categorising channels.

If you want to see a movie you click on the movie button so you have all the movie channels and after you've you plus plus plus.

If you want to see a movie you click on the movie button so you have all the movie channels and after you've you plus plus plus.


If you want to see a movie you click on the movie button so you have all the movie channels and after you've you plus plus plus.


I don't know what you think about that but.


I don't know what you think about that but.

So it requires the use of L_C_D_ probably , to to tell you


So it requires the use of L_C_D_ probably , to to tell you


We could maybe also c um incorporate Petre's idea of the um slider for the volume , with the channel.


We could maybe also c um incorporate Petre's idea of the um slider for the volume , with the channel.

So we c you could quickly just   through many channels.


So we c you could quickly just   through many channels.


So we are still s speaking about the common devices


I think basically the core functions we want , and then more advanced ones.


I think basically the core functions we want , and then more advanced ones.

What about the settings of the T_V_ ? Because it's button we don't use very often , but it's  we need it anyway. So

What about the settings of the T_V_ ? Because it's button we don't use very often , but it's  we need it anyway. So

So uh we don't have any uh we don't have uh

we should just design the remote control and we sh we don't have any access to the to the T_V_ design or we can change some design. Because one solution for this um uh uh ch changing channels is to see a summary of all channels , some some preview of all channels and then you can

Not on the control , on the screen , on the T_V_ screen.


Not on the control , on the screen , on the T_V_ screen.

I don't Oh , I don't but I don't think we're we're the ones. I mean this remote control we're developing is a generic control for all T_V_s , I think.


I don't Oh , I don't but I don't think we're we're the ones. I mean this remote control we're developing is a generic control for all T_V_s , I think.

Yeah , yeah. I don't know if it's possible to to watch something on T_V_


I don't Oh , I don't but I don't think we're we're the ones. I mean this remote control we're developing is a generic control for all T_V_s , I think.

Yeah , yeah. I don't know if it's possible to to watch something on T_V_

Oh. W I I think it it would be better to to stick to the remote control and not to bother the T_V_ to to to print these things.


Yeah , yeah. I don't know if it's possible to to watch something on T_V_

Oh. W I I think it it would be better to to stick to the remote control and not to bother the T_V_ to to to print these things.

Oh. W I I think it it would be better to to stick to the remote control and not to bother the T_V_ to to to print these things.

Well it wi it will be still more expensive , but for the L_C_D_ and this stuff is no problem in the price.


Well it wi it will be still more expensive , but for the L_C_D_ and this stuff is no problem in the price.


Well it wi it will be still more expensive , but for the L_C_D_ and this stuff is no problem in the price.

So , what are we doing with the settings ? Because settings  if we want to do settings we need buttons for that and we want less buttons , so. Maybe with the L_C_D_ we can do something with less buttons , but

But then you don't want to make the L_C_D_ display too complicated at the same time.


But then you don't want to make the L_C_D_ display too complicated at the same time.


But then you don't want to make the L_C_D_ display too complicated at the same time.

I mean there's always  we can always have these l less often used functions hidden somewhere , under a cover or at the back of  under a slide or some


I mean there's always  we can always have these l less often used functions hidden somewhere , under a cover or at the back of  under a slide or some


We we could have for example two buttons like simple mode and advanced mode.


We we could have for example two buttons like simple mode and advanced mode.

Or like children and grandfather's mode ,


Or like children and grandfather's mode ,


not the user , the man mana T_V_ manager mode . Ah , I dunno.


So I think s the settings we th we are agreeing  are agreed that they're required.


In the menus of the L_C_D_ or in the back of the remote control , or something like that.


In the menus of the L_C_D_ or in the back of the remote control , or something like that.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Uh , okay , what else ?


Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Uh , okay , what else ?

This I was thinking. Do we need a power button at all ?


This I was thinking. Do we need a power button at all ?


This I was thinking. Do we need a power button at all ?

Should should shouldn't we do it like sleep mode after five minutes of not using it ? Because generally


This I was thinking. Do we need a power button at all ?

Should should shouldn't we do it like sleep mode after five minutes of not using it ? Because generally

It's it's a kind of setting , I think. It should fit in those settings functions.


Should should shouldn't we do it like sleep mode after five minutes of not using it ? Because generally

It's it's a kind of setting , I think. It should fit in those settings functions.


Should should shouldn't we do it like sleep mode after five minutes of not using it ? Because generally

It's it's a kind of setting , I think. It should fit in those settings functions.

Because it's not a very current useful function.


It's it's a kind of setting , I think. It should fit in those settings functions.

Because it's not a very current useful function.

Uh , well I think when they say power button they mean to turn the T_V_ on and off.


Because it's not a very current useful function.

Uh , well I think when they say power button they mean to turn the T_V_ on and off.

No , I think it's after after five minutes or something  a timer


Uh , well I think when they say power button they mean to turn the T_V_ on and off.

No , I think it's after after five minutes or something  a timer


No , I think it's after after five minutes or something  a timer

But if you're watching T_V_ for two hours , you don't want your T_V_ to turn off after five five minute


But if you're watching T_V_ for two hours , you don't want your T_V_ to turn off after five five minute

You don't need to  every five minutes to keep it alive.


But if you're watching T_V_ for two hours , you don't want your T_V_ to turn off after five five minute

You don't need to  every five minutes to keep it alive.

Uh probably. Okay , so we should keep this button.


You don't need to  every five minutes to keep it alive.

Uh probably. Okay , so we should keep this button.

I mean based on our usability studies again , um  pe um people said that the power button was v a very relevant button.


Uh probably. Okay , so we should keep this button.

I mean based on our usability studies again , um  pe um people said that the power button was v a very relevant button.


I mean based on our usability studies again , um  pe um people said that the power button was v a very relevant button.


Okay , so we we could p what we could probably do is to keep also to keep uh keep the L_C_D_ and all the buttons and stuff ,


Okay , so we we could p what we could probably do is to keep also to keep uh keep the L_C_D_ and all the buttons and stuff ,

we could make it like a opening opening style that if you open it you are  you just turn on the T_V_ and if you close it , it will


we could make it like a opening opening style that if you open it you are  you just turn on the T_V_ and if you close it , it will


Because , well   it's maybe question for you t


Because , well   it's maybe question for you t

I think we need to concentrate on the , you know , the major usage of the th of the control ,


I think we need to concentrate on the , you know , the major usage of the th of the control ,

which is you sit down , you turn on your T_V_ , you change channels , you change the volume , you turn the T_V_ off.


which is you sit down , you turn on your T_V_ , you change channels , you change the volume , you turn the T_V_ off.


which is you sit down , you turn on your T_V_ , you change channels , you change the volume , you turn the T_V_ off.

Yeah , they can yeah they can be hide somewhere by a cover or something like this.


Yeah , they can yeah they can be hide somewhere by a cover or something like this.


Yeah but since we have the L_C_D_ , we didn't need too much button too many buttons. Um , okay , just um the decision of the power button.


Yeah but since we have the L_C_D_ , we didn't need too much button too many buttons. Um , okay , just um the decision of the power button.

Should we make it a button , or some some something which would be


Should we make it a button , or some some something which would be


Old fashioned button , to satisfy the grandmothers.

So , any other suggestions or functions ?


So , any other suggestions or functions ?


So , any other suggestions or functions ?

S What about things like the clock and um timers ?


So , any other suggestions or functions ?

S What about things like the clock and um timers ?

Do we still have the time ? I I just wonder.


S What about things like the clock and um timers ?

Do we still have the time ? I I just wonder.

Yeah , we have still one or two minutes to talk , yeah.


S What about things like the clock and um timers ?

Do we still have the time ? I I just wonder.

Yeah , we have still one or two minutes to talk , yeah.

Okay. Oh. Well what w what was the question ?


Do we still have the time ? I I just wonder.

Yeah , we have still one or two minutes to talk , yeah.

Okay. Oh. Well what w what was the question ?


Yeah , we have still one or two minutes to talk , yeah.

Okay. Oh. Well what w what was the question ?

Uh um , you know , some func some features on the control to display a time , or t to display


Okay. Oh. Well what w what was the question ?

Uh um , you know , some func some features on the control to display a time , or t to display

Usually it's already on T_V_ or something like that.


Uh um , you know , some func some features on the control to display a time , or t to display

Usually it's already on T_V_ or something like that.


Uh um , you know , some func some features on the control to display a time , or t to display

Usually it's already on T_V_ or something like that.

Yeah but since we want to control all the televisions , and and it would probably be worth to to set the timing on the remote ,


Usually it's already on T_V_ or something like that.

Yeah but since we want to control all the televisions , and and it would probably be worth to to set the timing on the remote ,


Yeah but since we want to control all the televisions , and and it would probably be worth to to set the timing on the remote ,

no ? Because if if the T_V_ turns on itself , it well you know , if the time The timer should be there.


no ? Because if if the T_V_ turns on itself , it well you know , if the time The timer should be there.

Yeah. Yeah. If we if we add the time , we have to have maybe a bigger display or something like that , and is it very useful ? I mean , are users wants to have the time on the on the remote ?


Yeah. Yeah. If we if we add the time , we have to have maybe a bigger display or something like that , and is it very useful ? I mean , are users wants to have the time on the on the remote ?


W In my opinion we should have only useful thing and Because apparently they want  The simpler it's is better.


Did you did you ever use the like the timing of turning on the T_V_ ,


Did you did you ever use the like the timing of turning on the T_V_ ,

But I do use the I do use the display of the time quite often , but


But I do use the I do use the display of the time quite often , but


But I do use the I do use the display of the time quite often , but

Yeah but it can be on the display in in a corner all the time on the remote.


Yeah but it can be on the display in in a corner all the time on the remote.


Wait for the marketing director actually , so. Anyways. Uh. See , shall we wait ? I'm not sure if he's late or delayed or whatever , so I'm gonna start soon , we have now  don't have much time anyway.


a little bit of pl little problem with computer.

have a little thoughts on what your vision is and  on this project , so  I put the minutes on the  I made on the on the p the the project share , so if you wanna review them , they're there. I will do so after every meeting , so if you have some information you wanna take back you can find it there. Anyways , um today three presentations , from every one of you. Um after that I got some new project requirements from project board , so we're gonna go af go after  over this later. But I wanna start with uh stuff you did first , so we can see what everybody came up with. And after that we can have the new requirements and share some thoughts , so.

You should close it on your own notebook , I guess. Yeah. So there ?


You should close it on your own notebook , I guess. Yeah. So there ?

that's okay. Uh slide show. Yes. The functional requirements , it's uh  uh very important for uh the user , he he wants to  yeah. The the method we used uh it it's not m not a slide , because it went wrong , but the method we use uh , um  we tested it w uh with uh a hundred uh men , and we asked them to w uh what the remote uh f feel uh like and uh what what's uh important.

Basically I have some issues which you discussed earlier. Uh let's just start with the method.

It sounds really easy , what does the user do , what does the th remote control do , but there are quite some issues. So the things I'm going to concentrate on are the user aspect , because the technical aspect , that's pretty much covered. We can do that. What goes wrong  at the user. Gets the remote control. Where is the remote control ? We've all had it once , I want to watch some television ,

Okay , that's fine. Um. Okay , now work a little with me. Okay. Well ,


Okay , that's fine. Um. Okay , now work a little with me. Okay. Well ,

let's start it as it is. Okay , uh the method. There are a few questions that need to be answered , uh you already uh talked about it a little bit. Which buttons are wanted , uh is our remote control universal or should it be programmable. Uh if it should be programmeab grammeale then we need um something like a mode that you can switch it. Because then the buttons have to send out a different signal then they would normally do.

And uh how big is the remote control uh going to be ? I'll tell you why that's important to me. Um there are a lot of technical parts in the remote control , so uh uh that's  why I also would like to say uh go a little bit easy on the designs , uh I heard ab uh you talking about beeps and about uh video screens , but uh the material inside and the technical aspects are quite complex already.

So it's  that's not as easy as it s might look like.

Uh material study , I'm working on that um for the the costs. I have to check out how far I can go with that. Normally , a circuit board is made of fibreglass uh and the wires are made of copper. Uh that is how it is done and all the remote controls work that way , I think we can just go on with that. Um then I've read more integration of materials means less cost for the production. The more we can make uh at once uh in one piece , uh that is cheaper.

This is what look like uh looks like if you press one button , so this is not the entire thing. You have the the power coming in , then you have like a switch. The switch uh uh  uh if you p press it then some electrical charge goes into the processor , that thinks over a Morse code , that's how you should see it. The Morse code goes to the amplifier , then uh the signal is sent to two uh light bulbs. You have infrared and an interv um  uh how to say it ? Uh a light in indication , light that you know that it's functioning.

Uh here again , that's my story about the different modes , if you do want to make remote uh universal , then the processor has to uh make up a different Morse code when some button is pressed. That makes it much more complex , so we really need to have a look , do we want that or not.

I'll get back to my thing then. Uh  Okay , back this up  to the screen. So I got some new information on the project specifications are changing a little. Like you said uh teletext is not not very popular anymore because the uh the internet , nowadays people don't use the teletext anymore or hardly , so it can either  Well , I don't think we should remove the button , because there are always people who are using it.

But I don't think it should be  very  it should be one of the big buttons for example. Just put it somewhere or under second option or whatever. It's not important anymore. Um we're targeting young people now , because our um   This is a new product and with this new product we want to appeal to younger people ,

And one thing that should be important is that the corporate l colour and slogan are recognisable , which is apparently  black and yellow , but  I'm not sure if we  I think we should keep the the logo in mind , because with colours you can uh have a lot of uh fashionable colours and everything on it , which suits everybody's taste.

and so have an entire new remote control that they like to see. Or we can sh for example we can make a different   a basic design. And sell the covers separately , for example. That's just a little marketing idea that could be applied , so you can p it appeals to really everyone. So you don't have to  I think you don't have to make entire remote controls. We make a basic one and manufacture this cover separately.
