A: Mm . W
A: What uh D: so the voice recognition would be just an extra ,
D: it wouldn't really reduce the size of the remote .
C: Yeah .
A: Mm .
C: Mm .
A: What wh uh what I was thinking is that there is this uh separation between what the channels are on T_V_ and how they are numbered on the remote control .
A: If we can do with away with that , our product can be really popular
A: uh in the sense that uh a person can say , I want to watch uh I_T_V_ one instead of saying that I want to go onto channel number forty five .
C: Uh-huh . Uh-huh .
B: Yeah ,
A: Yeah , so if uh if something like that can be incorporated , B: that would be another way to do it .
C: So that if that was in the the voice recognition , that would be great .
A: some kind of  B: Yeah , but then the code word would be even more important ,
B: because I mean Sky advertise on every channel , don't they , you know ,
C: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
A: Mm-hmm .
B: so then it would be you'd be watching Charmed , and then the Sky advert would come on and it would change to Sky .
C: C: Watch Sky
C: and yeah .
B: Yeah , yeah ,
A: Alright .
B: and that would be really annoying . A: Yeah , that's A: Right .
C: Mm-hmm .
C: But that's definitely a possibility .
D: Yeah but m but on the other hand , remote control isn't as close to you you probably might just just uh speak into it
A: Mm .
D: and and the T_V_ would be already further away , so it might not pick up the other things coming from there .
C: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
B: Do you not think that defeats the object of having voice recognition on a remote control though ?
C: So that you can yell at it ,
A: B: Yeah , you know , so you have to have the remote control .
C: yeah .
B: It's more like if you lost it and it's down the sofa sometime , you can yell at it and it'll just change it , you can look for it later , yeah .
C: A: A: C: C: Yeah . Alright .
D: Yeah , but then the remote control I think I mean D: um the idea is kind of it's it's not that it's sitting there on on top of the television ,
D: because then you could already yell at the television
D: and you wouldn't you you wouldn't need the remote control ,
D: so the remote control is still something you keep n near yourself .
B: Yeah , yeah ,
B: I suppose nearer to you
B: but a b like if you have surround sound then A: Mm
C: Mm .
A: yeah and it might become very difficult from a distance for the television to understand what you're saying because of the noise factor for the remote control
D: Yeah , yeah , yeah .
C: Yeah .
A: being cl I mean it'll it'll mm .
D: No , but I I I was just defending the the fact why why we want to keep the remote control close to us , a and uh not to yell at it from the distance .
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
A: Mm .
C: Yeah .
A: So uh wh another thing uh that can be used is that uh there can be a beeper button on the T_V_ ,
A: so you can go and press that button and um and the remote control , wherever it is , it'll beep ,
C: Mm-hmm .
A: so we we can probably come to know where it is .
C: That's  D: Okay .
C: but then if you're buying the remote separately ,
B: Yeah .
C: but y you could have something , but i if it was something that you could like stick onto the T_V_ or something ,
D: Oh yeah , yeah .
A: Right , yeah , yeah , yeah .
D: Okay , yeah , mm-hmm .
C: some like a two p if you bought it in a two part pack , so one part attaches to the T_V_ .
B: Yeah , 'cause it's it's quite important that you don't lose the the bit to locate the remote control .
C: The l
C: Well that's right ,
A: Alright , yeah .
C: but it solves the problem of having different noises .
B: Yeah , definitely , yeah .
C: Yeah . Okay ,
C: I think we're gonna have to wrap this up um .
C: But if we go away with that that kind of general um specification in mind that we're looking at fifteen to thirty five year olds , we want it to look simple , but still have the buttons so it's easy to use , but only those key buttons , the major buttons and then one sort of menu one , and then voice recognition included as an option
D: The major ones , yeah .
D: Mm-hmm .
A: Right .
C: um but that obviously needs a little bit more working out as to whether it's really feasible and some of those problems we were mentioning um . A: Okay .
C: What we have to do now is to go back to our little places ,
C: complete our questionnaire
C: and some sort of summarisation ,
C: which y you'll get immediately by email .
C: Send me your presentations so that I can use them to make the minutes ,
C: and then we've got a lunch break
A: D: Mm-hmm .
C: and after lunch we go back to our own little stations and have thirty minutes more work .
C: Um I'll put the minutes in that project documents folder ,
