A: C: C: A: C: Okay .
A: Okay everyone's ready .
B: Hello .
A: So we are here for uh for uh functional design .
B: A: Okay ?
A: So we are here for the functional design meeting mm
A: so first I will show the agenda so
A: we will uh
A: I will take notes during this meeting so
B: A: I will try to summarise it and put that summary in the shared folder if you want to look at it afterwards
A: so then uh each of you will uh lead a presentation on the task that has been required last time
A: so user requirement specification , technical function design and working design .
A: Then I will uh present you some new project requirements I received from uh the management board .
A: Then we will take uh the decision on on the remote control uh needed functions
A: and then I will assign you the task for the next part of the meeting .
A: Of the of the process .
A: So uh who want to start the the presentation of what they did ?
C: F do you want to start ?
B: Make a start yeah .
A: You can start .
B: So . A: B: Cable , camera .
A: You have uh PowerPoint ?
B: Should be in my in their folder
B: no ?
A: Ah yeah maybe there .
B: Up .
A: Okay .
A: Who are you ? B: Um at three I think .
A: B: No ?
B: Mm .
A: Ouch .
B: A: And C: Okay . A: We have a technical problem uh .
B: Do we think w s in the in the wrong folder maybe ?
B: It is possible .
A: You put it on C: No .
B: It was somewhere in something like this .
B: I don't remember the name actually
B: must be something like messenger AMI or something .
C: What do you have in short cut ?
B: Go up .
C: Participant two .
B: Yeah go up .
A: Yeah .
B: Again .
B: No .
B: Go back .
A: You have no B: Uh maybe messenger AMI .
B: Messenger .
A: Over .
A: Okay .
B: No . There is nothing .
A: There's no A: We have a technical problem .
B: Let's go and check .
C: Yeah .
B: I'll go and check .
C: Otherwise , could you just describe
C: by hand ?
B: Okay .
C: With the the whiteboard ?
B: Yeah .
A: If you remember yeah
B: Yeah .
A: but that's B: So uh .
B: Basically what we want here is a remote control
B: right .
A: Yeah .
B: So um the question well first of all what to control .
B: So most people want to have a a remote for their hi-fi and T_V_ and stuff like that .
C: Mm-hmm .
B: And but other people want th also remotes for controlling uh and toys like robotic pets and little robots and stuff
C: Mm-hmm .
B: and other people also want to have remotes for controlling um whole house .
C: Mm-hmm .
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah ,
B: so there's a project I think called X_ house or something like that that does that , uh you can integrate your remote with uh computers stuff .
C: Mm-hmm .
B: So B: there is one that is one thing .
B: The other is the
B: the finder feature yeah by whistling or whatever .
B: Uh if you have the finder feature then you can also have
C: Okay .
B: uh at the same time as and general voice commands if you want yeah .
C: Mm-hmm .
B: So I think it should be a package in that case .
B: Uh
B: so the user interface will consist of two parts .
B: One is the voice command part and on one is the actual buttons part .
B: Uh and th the buttons part would be uh a set of buttons for choosing devices , a set of buttons for special navigation in space ,
C: Mm-hmm .
C: Mm-hmm .
B: a set of buttons for linear access of medium and a set of buttons for random access .
A: Okay .
B: Yeah ?
C: What do you mean by linear access then ?
B: Like a video tape goes forward , backwards , uh fast and stuff yeah .
C: Ah .
B: Um .
A: Okay so special navigation , linear access , random access
A: and there's a fourth one no ?
B: Mm ?
A: So the better now for special navigation ?
B: Yeah .
B: For special navigation for example you might have a T_V_ in the menu and you going to change yeah ?
A: Okay .
A: Then linear access
B: Uh .
A: then random access .
B: Mm .
B: Yeah
B: and also parameter changing .
A: Ah yeah parameter okay .
B: So if there are common parameters maybe we should put special buttons for that um
A: Okay .
B: or maybe we could have everything uh generic
B: but uh there are a lot of uh remotes on the market right now and basically this is most of the almost everybody has this stuff .
A: Okay .
A: Okay
A: and and voice command did you uh B: Voice command w we could specify anything .
B: We could assign any button a command to any button , if we have enough processing power ,
A: Okay .
A: Okay .
B: I guess so .
B: Yeah .
A: Okay .
B: Yeah .
A: So that's uh that close your investigations ?
B: Yeah .
B: Uh yeah I think so .
A: Okay .
B: Not so far .
A: Okay .
A: Maybe we can have a look at the user requirements with D: Yeah .
D: Um I dunno if you can open the A: I dunno if I can open it .
D: uh m is not here .
A: Maybe you can s
A: It's D: Uh in D: yeah okay .
A: Messenger no ?
D: No .
D: In document .
D: Mm
D: computer yeah .
A: In which folder ?
B: Where did you put it ?
D: Here .
D: Here .
A: Short-cut to AMI shared folder ?
B: mm .
D: But it's not D: Um .
A: Maybe you can send it to me by email .
A: Just to participant one .
A: At AMI .
D: Mm-hmm .
D: Yeah , I can do that .
A: I will try to show it to everyone ,
A: that would be more comfortable .
D: Okay .
D: Um .
A: You send it ?
D: It's participant one ?
A: Yeah .
A: Uh this is this email .
B: I'm designing the user interface . D: Okay .
D: You can uh .
A: Okay .
A: So maybe I can switch slides when you whenever you ask ,
D: Yeah .
A: that will be more convenient .
A: So okay ,
D: Okay so you can you can go .
A: functional requirements .
D: Okay so D: in our usability lab we observed the remote control use among one hundred subjects
A: Mm .
D: and the subjects also filled a questionnaire
A: Yeah .
D: okay ?
D: And here I have the results
D: so you can see that um seventy five per cent of users find most remote controls ugly
D: so we have to find something to make them more more nice , more kind .
D: Eighty per cents of users would spend more money when the remote control would look fancy .
D: Eighty hundred per cent of users would spend more money when the remote control would look D: oh A: B: D: to D: it's not good . D: So okay .
D: So it's not in theory A: We can just keep doing that ?
D: but I I can I can say yeah . A: Yeah .
D: Fifty f uh
D: seventy five per cent of users say they s zap a lot .
D: So mm we have to have a remote control uh very um out for that .
D: Uh the buttons have are to be um uh uh like you say resist resisting to to shocks .
A: Okay .
D: Um and fifty per cents of users say they only use uh ten per cents of but of the buttons in the in the remote control .
C: A: Okay .
D: So all the buttons we we have to put are have to to have um a use a real use
D: and not only or A: Okay .
A: Okay ,
A: so fewer buttons maybe would be good ?
D: Yeah .
D: F not many buttons , and uh and uh uh u useable buttons .
A: Okay .
B: But what kind of remote controls did you look at ?
D: Sorry ?
B: What kind of task was it ?
B: It was a T_V_ ?
D: Yeah .
D: Uh most for most is T_V_ .
A: Yeah .
A: Yeah
A: but in fact we it it seems that we are going to make a T_V_ remote control according to new requirements I received from the management
B: Huh .
B: Uh-huh .
A: bo I will present them in the following .
B: Ah ! Good .
D: 'Kay you can go so .
A: Okay .
D: So there are other frustrations expressed by users ,
D: so they said uh they lost uh often the remote control in in the room so they want to have a way to to
A: Yeah .
A: To find it .
D: to find it .
A: Yeah .
D: Um and um
D: lot of the time they it takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote control .
A: Yeah .
D: So they want something s really very simple and uh easy to use .
C: Mm-hmm .
A: Okay .
D: And uh remote controls are bad for
A: What is her other side ?
D: R_S_I_
D: um D: I dunno .
B: Other side yeah , yo wa your wrist
A: B: It i can become painful you can have tendonditis .
A: Oh yeah ?
B: Yeah .
A: I did not knew that .
B: If you also up on a computer in a strange position .
A: Okay
A: so you we have to make it uh more ergonomic yeah .
B: Ergonomic .
B: But uh .
B: Have to say ha ha . D: Yeah .
A: A: It's your job D: A: Oh . D: D: Uh .
A: Uh sorry A: got a message from Microsoft . C: D: Okay um before that I I have some some some thing uh to say before um A: Yeah .
A: Yeah yeah .
D: D: We know that uh the user use uh a lot their um remote control um to to change channel .
A: Yeah .
D: Um and um to to change uh volume selection of the A: Okay .
D: and uh and not uh a lot for setting for setting the the channels and uh thing things like that .
A: Yeah .
C: Mm-hmm .
B: Mm-hmm .
