which is what they do now. And we even had to take out a bit. Nancy , you missed that part. We had to take out a bit of the road work. So that it doesn't take you to the wall  every time.

So. Um  So this was actually an actual problem that we encountered , which nobody have  has  because car navigation systems don't really care. You know , they get you to the beginning of the street , some now do the house number.

Okay. Good morning everybody. Um I'm glad you could all come. I'm really excited to start this team. Um I'm just gonna have a little PowerPoint presentation for us , for our kick-off meeting. My name is Rose Lindgren. I I'll be the Project Manager. Um our agenda today is we are gonna do a little opening and then I'm gonna talk a little bit about the project , then we'll move into acquaintance such as getting to know each other a little bit , including a tool training exercise. And then we'll move into the project plan , do a little discussion and close , since we only have twenty five minutes. First of all our project aim. Um we are creating a new remote control which we have three goals about , it needs to be original , trendy and user-friendly. I'm hoping that we can all work together to achieve all three of those. Um so we're gonna divide us up into three  compa three parts. First the functional design which will be uh first we'll do individual work , come into a meeting , the conceptional design , individual work and a meeting , and then the detailed design , individual work and a meeting. So that we'll each be doing our own ideas and then coming together and um collaborating. Okay , we're gonna get to know each other a little bit. So um , what we're gonna do is start off with um let's start off with Amina. Um Alima ,

let's give it a little bit of a snout , I don't know , some teeth.


I live um I live right across the street from an open space in California. We have coyotes howl all the time. So I really enjoy their their singing , you they're really beautiful animals. Mm.  Okay um , moving on to slightly more serious stuff. We're gonna talk about project finances. Um we have a couple  we'd like to sell it for about twenty five Euro with the profit aim of um fifteen million Euro um from our sales and because this is such  this is for television it's a  we have a market range of Internet , like it's an international market range , we don't have to worry about specifics. Um in order to make a profit of this magnitude , we need to um be able to produce each one at a maximum of twelve fifty Euro. So we're selling it for twice what we'd like to produce it for. Okay um , just to generate a little bit of discussion about the project um , I could  I'd like to hear about your experiences using ro remote controls , um your first ideas about um creating a new r remote control , what would be the best um like you  what are the features that you really like what are the features that you don't like , etcetera , so

Um I hate when there's like four different buttons and you have to press to actually turn on the T_V_ like you have to do one for the power of the T_V_ and then like another one to get the actual screen on and something else to get it all going , I don't know. Now they keep combining all different remotes together , and I don't know if I necessarily like that 'cause I feel like you end up with multimedia overload.

Always gets lost. Some sort of like device to help you find it.

I've used , I've used remote controls , for things like T_V_ and the C_D_ player and video recorder and I I guess they're they're pretty neat neat little tools uh. You don't have to get up and walk across the room to change a channel.

So especially if you're someone really lazy like me they they're pretty nice. Um. I find them  they can be a bit annoying , especially , like you know if I'm watching T_V_ I have have to have three separate remote controls of  in front of me , you know , one for the T_V_ , one for the digital box , one for m the video recorder as well. Um. And also they tend to they tend to be a bit confusing , they've got too many buttons on them uh too too sort of too sort of complicated when all I really wanna do is switch on and off , change the channel , change the volume.

Yeah um. I agree with having too many remotes around. My dad has a whole drawer at home of remotes for various things , and I don't know how to work half of them um. What's important for me , I guess , is that it's easy to use and that there's not too many buttons , they are not too small , you know you know you need to n to know what you're doing. And one thing I particularly like is if you are not um sort of moving it around to get it to work with the infra-red.

but I know in my residence right now the the television you sort of have to walk all around the room to get it to turn on ,


but I know in my residence right now the the television you sort of have to walk all around the room to get it to turn on ,

so i it's just simpler just to just turn around the T_V_ itself , and I think that's  if we're gonna make a remote control , it should actually work for what it's doing. So

What about like batteries and things like that , like are there some remotes that don don't require like batteries or do all remotes require batteries ?

Um. Okay , it seems we have a little bit of a conflict over um to uh combining all the remotes cont together versus having f five different remotes. So um like you said you don't like having all the buttons on one on one remote , and yet you don't wanna have five remotes. So how do we work with that ?

Could we get something that just has  No doesn't have all the buttons that you need to program the video recorder or program s other things that I'm not very coherent about , but that just has your major buttons for  that work for everything , you know volume control , on , off ,

And maybe that spatially divides it , so it's like if you're looki if you're trying to get the T_V_ on that's , you know , like the top thing on the remote , I dunno if d be vertical or horizontal in terms of how we're gonna make it , but if it's like all the T_V_ stuff was here ,

Yeah , and if um if you'd save the more complicated functions maybe for separate remotes that you wouldn't need to use every day.


Yeah , and if um if you'd save the more complicated functions maybe for separate remotes that you wouldn't need to use every day.

Okay , so maybe have like one remote that has the main functions on , off , channel changing , volume , and another rote remote with all the special things.


Okay , so maybe have like one remote that has the main functions on , off , channel changing , volume , and another rote remote with all the special things.

Because that is one thing that um remotes tend to have buttons that the T_V_s no longer have as well.

Can I ask , are we designing a remote control for a television only


Can I ask , are we designing a remote control for a television only

um , and if if this device is just to be used for the television would we even technically be possible to include video recorder functions on it ?


um , and if if this device is just to be used for the television would we even technically be possible to include video recorder functions on it ?

Um or should we just stick to just stick to having television television related buttons on it ?

So we should  maybe we should assume that i t it's just a television that we're wanting to control.


You know , things might be more advanced than that.

So we should  maybe we should assume that i t it's just a television that we're wanting to control.

Well , I mean I suppose it would be nice to have  playing and record and stop buttons on it for the video recorder as well I I don't know if that works technologically or not.

Yes. I guess we have to define what what we're aiming for. If it's just a television then that  it's a bit simpler , 'cause there's less buttons that would even need to be on it.

I hope you're ready for this uh functional design meeting.


I hope you're ready for this uh functional design meeting.

Um so I will take the minutes you mm you three are going to do presentation. Um uh we want to know  to  at the end to know the new project's requirement so we need uh to know the the user uh needs that we want to fulfil to fulfil the  from the technical part we want to know how it going to work and um third part  uh I don't remember

So I dunno if I can do that like this ? Yeah ? So it's being modified. Do you want  yeah , open. Read only. I hope I saved it.


So I dunno if I can do that like this ? Yeah ? So it's being modified. Do you want  yeah , open. Read only. I hope I saved it.


So as you know , you  I think you already know me , Sammy Benjo. I am the expert in marketing and I want to tell you about what people uh s want and uh like and dislike in remote controls , and I hope this is going to help you to to design it correctly. So next please. Uh-oh.


because i I spent lots of time doing this presentation , so.


So basically uh what I suggest is that uh instead of deciding ourself what what could be and what should be a good uh remote control , let's ask people who are users of remote controls how they feel about w the current remote controls , what they like , what they don't like and um and what they do with them by the way


So basically uh what I suggest is that uh instead of deciding ourself what what could be and what should be a good uh remote control , let's ask people who are users of remote controls how they feel about w the current remote controls , what they like , what they don't like and um and what they do with them by the way

because they are supposed to be useful.  Don't forget about that. So we've we've conducted a a survey on on the use of uh remote controls and I'd like to show you some of the results we found on this survey. And next please. Yeah , so basically what we found was that uh there are several things that the user don't like in remote controls. First of all , they find it very ugly.  Current remote controls as you know they're the same as this one uh they're not nice colour , not nice shape , I mean they're all the same , and they're not l good looking. Um what is interesting is that in fact it seems that they were  people are ready to pay for nice and look  and fancy looking uh remote control , so I think we should probably spend lots of time in  and effort in that um. And the other thing is that uh the the current remote controls are not so easy to use and it it  the the current uh facilities that they offer do not match what people really want to use their remote controls. For instance uh we see that uh they zap very often so I think this is a very uh important uh functionality that it should be easy for them to to zap uh in one way or another. And most of the buttons uh on uh current remote controls are not used , so I think we should design something where some of the buttons which are those that are used should be easier to see and use than others that only a couple of people are using. Um next please.  Now  people are very frustrated w with their  remote controls

And because of the fact that there are so many buttons in these remote controls that nobody use ,


And because of the fact that there are so many buttons in these remote controls that nobody use ,

in fact they don't even know how to use them , so most of the the people say they they don't know how to  they  to use properly their r remote controls. And uh they are bad for R_S_I_ but uh I don't remember what is R_S_I_.

Yeah , it's electromagnetic waves or something kind of maybe uh effect.


Yeah , it's electromagnetic waves or something kind of maybe uh effect.


because infrared uses some electromagnetic technology ,


So , it seems that  it's a lot of people for a concept that we don't know


Every fourth , you know.  Every four  some of us knows.


that's for what the biggest frustration uh of the user and um

what else do I have ? Next slide ? Ah yeah.

s uh functions that may be uh used by u the user in the current uh available uh remote controls and uh well the tables look very nice to read but what is important is to understand that the power button is not used often because in general you  use it only once per session , but it is very relevant.

channel selection is um very important , very often used. Volume is not often used but people uh want to have control on volume and that makes sense of course. And n then you have things which are very much less often used like the settings. Audio settings , screen settings , even teletext and channel settings. All of them. they're not often used and they are s more or less relevant. It seems that people find teletext teletext uh relevant , even if I personally never use it but seems that it's average relevant at least , so.

That's for the main functions I think and uh then we can ask uh ourself uh what people don't have that may be useful. For instance I think  net next slide.  One of the thing  the trend uh that uh you are probably aware of is the possibility  the eventual possibility of having speech recognition in your remote control , so you wouldn't have to tap tap in your buttons but just tell your remote control or whatever you need you have what you want. So we've conducted a survey about uh whether people would like or not to have uh this kind of uh functionality in their remote control and as we can see it really depends on the age. Young people , probably because it's a buzz word , find it very relevant. And uh as the age goes up  the  the relevance goes down.

So now it really depends on the kind of uh targeting uh wha who are we targeting with this remote control ?


So now it really depends on the kind of uh targeting uh wha who are we targeting with this remote control ?

I think if we are targeting young people then uh it's probably something we have to consider. If we are targeting you very old people this is something they really don't know why they  this should be so now

So um now I think it's the turn of the the   I'm not sure um


That's  but this but number three , yes. Mm-hmm. So , my name is Mark Dwight , and um I am responsible for User Interface Design.


That's  but this but number three , yes. Mm-hmm. So , my name is Mark Dwight , and um I am responsible for User Interface Design.

It's a really good style , it going to be  look like like this. It is unbreakable and it is very universal. W we'll have a screen with a back light which can change colours ,

and we can put all the options into this screen. We'll need only few buttons. All the other things can be controlled through the screen. And all these buttons should be easy to find and to click , 'cause when you watch a movie and you want to change something , you always try to find a good button and click it , but you should do it by touching it and finding it easily just by touch.

It's a really good style , it going to be  look like like this. It is unbreakable and it is very universal. W we'll have a screen with a back light which can change colours ,

and we can put all the options into this screen. We'll need only few buttons. All the other things can be controlled through the screen. And all these buttons should be easy to find and to click , 'cause when you watch a movie and you want to change something , you always try to find a good button and click it , but you should do it by touching it and finding it easily just by touch. So  Press

I would propose this concept for design , just few buttons , a screen with a back light which can change colours , titanium

I think , and uh what else ? I got just very few and good ideas. We need power and volume. And let us include two nice features into this device , first , power on and off can be made fully automatic. When you go to the sofa , take your control and point it to the T_V_ ,

When you don't touch the control but you go out of the  For for enough time


It's a question to our technical design , our  two engineers.


It's a question to our technical design , our  two engineers.

And another nice feature that I would like to implement is uh volume control. Suppose you set u you set up some volume and then you move out or you move to the other corner of the room and take your control with you. Like , you want to to change the chair or you want to move to the armchair from the sofa or something , and then the volume changes.

According to the distance.  Yeah yeah yeah. So


According to your distance to  and the angle maybe , if you have a stereo system.

According to the distance.  Yeah yeah yeah. So

Uh I'm not sure about the screen , wha what is the use usefulness of the screen ? Uh is it a touch screen by the way ?


According to the distance.  Yeah yeah yeah. So

Uh I'm not sure about the screen , wha what is the use usefulness of the screen ? Uh is it a touch screen by the way ?

I think it can be just a menu which can be controlled with a left , right , up , down and enter.


Uh I'm not sure about the screen , wha what is the use usefulness of the screen ? Uh is it a touch screen by the way ?

I think it can be just a menu which can be controlled with a left , right , up , down and enter.

So it gives instructions but uh it has to be with an back light somehow.

So , its main purpose in fact is a back light ,


which makes it easier to find , and each can  it can respond for your voice , like it can turn on the light for you just to f find it easily , yeah ?


Um I see that you target uh several s application not only T_V_ but i like we talk about um universal uh remote control.

So for instance if I want to go to  directly to channel twenty five , how would I do  can I do that with this ?


So for instance if I want to go to  directly to channel twenty five , how would I do  can I do that with this ?

Yeah mm let's say I am uh on channel eight now. You know these days we have hundreds of channels ,


Yeah mm let's say I am uh on channel eight now. You know these days we have hundreds of channels ,

that's not so easy to go just next next next when you have hundreds of channels.


Yeah mm let's say I am uh on channel eight now. You know these days we have hundreds of channels ,

that's not so easy to go just next next next when you have hundreds of channels.

In fact I would propose another solution.

So uh set up your T_V_ set like channels that you use they're one , two , three and five , and you will never have to go to a twenty fives channel.


So uh set up your T_V_ set like channels that you use they're one , two , three and five , and you will never have to go to a twenty fives channel.

In fact in in one uh remote control that I've seen , instead of doing that d you could just say these are the cha ch channel three , twenty eight , forty eight and uh sixty four are those that I want to by cycled with my next button.

Yeah uh on zap it's only next next next next next , yeah.


Yeah uh on zap it's only next next next next next , yeah.


Mm. We got these buttons here. Next next.


Yeah. But otherwise like we can put some display on numbers and then they can just press  suppose two five they just press two and five


Maybe we can make uh different modes for each button


Maybe we can make uh different modes for each button

and you can change mode  zapping mode or


and you can change mode  zapping mode or


Yeah , yeah. Yeah but since we are focusing only on T_V_ remote controls


uh if you want to go for a universal then we ought to limit for functions for each of our devices.


uh if you want to go for a universal then we ought to limit for functions for each of our devices.

Could we carry out some research if we w really need this , like how many people really need to go to channel number twenty five and then to sixty four ?

Well I could could uh have a look at that  maybe.


Well I could could uh have a look at that  maybe.

I'll check in my department if there's someone specialist in that.

Uh you're finish ? Okay. So now  the technical aspects of this new device. Mm.


Uh you're finish ? Okay. So now  the technical aspects of this new device. Mm.

Yeah. Uh as you know , I am mister Ramaro. I am an expert in uh industrial design of all electronic devices and I previously devised many uh  like digital calculators and electronic calculators.  So now I'll briefly describe the working design of our remote control. Well , as you know the basic function of remote control is sending some message to the the device , like T_V_ or V_C_R_ or D_V_D_ player etcetera. So we will have a p portable device which will send message to the the main device like T_V_. So we need to have some energy source to do what  to do the functions , what we want on this portable device.  And usually this  so to do these functions we need an interface , which basically some kind of pressing buttons or keys or like moving jack or something like that. And then these messages  these key buttons can be transferred into some kind of message and then it will process by the chip and then it will generate some information to the main device. It's generally in the form of infrared or some kind of s sensor information. Then we will have the main control in the main device to do the particular action what we want. So , basically we need uh since we are focusing on our interface device  remote control mainly the energy source like the battery and then we have user interface like uh the keypad and you know buttons we want , and then we have some chip , it's mainly digital signal processing chip because since we are  I am one doing mostly digital uh devices we ought to have some kind of processor which take care of all these functions and put it in some digital format. And then we'll have the infrared L_E_D_ source which sends the information to the main device. Then we'll have switch in our main uh um device to do particular operations , and we ought to do different codes for different T_V_s ,

Then we'll have switch in our main uh um device to do particular operations , and we ought to do different codes for different T_V_s ,

so some T_V_s will have different encryption codes for doing s s uh channel changing and these things.

Then we'll have switch in our main uh um device to do particular operations , and we ought to do different codes for different T_V_s ,

so some T_V_s will have different encryption codes for doing s s uh channel changing and these things.

Okay. To make it quite uh an universal uh device uh.


so some T_V_s will have different encryption codes for doing s s uh channel changing and these things.

Okay. To make it quite uh an universal uh device uh.

Yeah yeah , because the people don't use one particular brand so


Okay. To make it quite uh an universal uh device uh.

Yeah yeah , because the people don't use one particular brand so

or at least we have more more than five brands , which are really good.


Yeah yeah , because the people don't use one particular brand so

or at least we have more more than five brands , which are really good.


or at least we have more more than five brands , which are really good.

So we need to check their specifications and do their uh encryption that's passing information to the T_V_ device. So we need to have particular encryption codes.


So we need to check their specifications and do their uh encryption that's passing information to the T_V_ device. So we need to have particular encryption codes.

Then , components , so we have the main uh energy source and then we will have some buttons and then we will have infrared uh source and then we have some inside some chip in in the device. Uh since I don't have much time so I'll input the connections to all this components. And since I also want to know feedback from our Marketing Expert and User Interface ,


Then , components , so we have the main uh energy source and then we will have some buttons and then we will have infrared uh source and then we have some inside some chip in in the device. Uh since I don't have much time so I'll input the connections to all this components. And since I also want to know feedback from our Marketing Expert and User Interface ,

so if you want to add some more components we can incorporate them.

we can have another , like uh s simple speech recogniser on our D_S_B_ chip.


we can have another , like uh s simple speech recogniser on our D_S_B_ chip.

Since we have some kind of uh energy this is our this normal battery , so this battery , once you s switch on it will take power and we can have some speech recognition and in our g generally small digital signal processing chip so that and we will put uh the small uh simple speech recogniser

Okay , for this budget like twelve Euros.


Okay , for this budget like twelve Euros.

Yeah actually we we can have one switch to like uh switch on , on and off , this  processor and  This really  , suppose like here we have our main chip which controls power , volume and this part and this D_S_P_s.


Yeah actually we we can have one switch to like uh switch on , on and off , this  processor and  This really  , suppose like here we have our main chip which controls power , volume and this part and this D_S_P_s.

Again , this to have some interaction like suppose people use D_S_P_ then it particularly sends some information to the chip like in some form , like volume and  like this key.


Again , this to have some interaction like suppose people use D_S_P_ then it particularly sends some information to the chip like in some form , like volume and  like this key.

So it may not be like very expensive , because since we are only focusing on T_V_ remote control

because v our target is only like twelve point five Euros


because v our target is only like twelve point five Euros

And well , what about the idea of automatic on off on the button , yeah.


And well , what about the idea of automatic on off on the button , yeah.


even automatic on off is also a bit problematic , because it  different criteria for different people like so suppose people are really uh they just uh they don't touch the remote and mm y you don't know how much time you need to switch on or switch off

Sh should we target a a user personalised uh uh remote control ? So in in a given room there might be more than one remote control. We would uh have each one and uh with our own personal uh settings.


Sh should we target a a user personalised uh uh remote control ? So in in a given room there might be more than one remote control. We would uh have each one and uh with our own personal uh settings.

Yay yeah. Yeah that can be possible , especially for power settings , so user can say okay , suppose they're watching a tennis match or something then they can say okay uh after one hour I
