User Interface: Now as an interface designer , I would give more emphasis on the interface , how the remote looks like so that it is sellable , it is attractive to customers . Next , please . Okay . Now the function of a remote is to send messages to the television . This messages could be uh switch on-off message or switch to next channel message or swapping the channels or switching onto a particular channel , like you can have the numbers one , two , three , four , up to nine .
Project Manager: Nine what ? Nine channel uh switches ?
User Interface: Pardon me ?
Project Manager: Nine channel switches ? Is Yeah . Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yes , nine numbers . And then you have swapping of uh button
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: by which using which you can swap the channels if you don't want to see the third channel you can swap it to the fourth channel or vice versa . Then it should have a next button , and next button channel by which you can keep on uh v uh mm eh scrolling the channels one by one .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Going to the nex next .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Next slide , please .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Then you should have a button which should which ca which can be used for increasing or decreasing the volume .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Then , there should be a button which can give subtitles for a particular program which is going on a television . For example , if you are watching a French program and you would like to have a subtitles in English , then there should be a channel which can trigger this mechanism in the television so that the user can see uh the the subtitles on the screen .
Marketing: Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Then there should d uh there should be some buttons which can control features like the colour , colour of the picture , the contrast , sharpness , brightness of the picture . Now there should be a memory switch . There should be a mute button . Suddenly if if if uh uh viewer he gets a telephone call , and if he want he doesn't want to switch off the uh T_V_ , but he he can reduce the sound , he can bring the volume down and he can watch he can uh while talking he can watch the T_V_ . Now the most important feature I would like to have in my remote would be the speech recognition feature . It's an integrated progra programmable sample sensor speaker unit . So a remote can be th can be uh designed which can have the voice recognisers , you can record your own voice
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: which can be recognised by as voice recogniser in the television , for example , if you want to see we if you want to see the ninth channel if you say just say ninth channel , uh th now the the uh yeah , the remote will automatically it will switch to the ninth channel .
Marketing: Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So the T_V_ will have some recogniser which will recognise the user's voice and accordingly it will change its functionalities .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So this is one of the very important feature a remote control can have . So this is one one of the interface which can be created .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: A very simple interface which has all the t uh uh important features .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Then , please , next slide .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Then , these are some of the remotes which are different in shape and colour , but they have many buttons .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So uh sometimes the user finds it very difficult to recognise which button is for what function and all that . So you can you can design an interface which is very simple , and which is user-friendly . Even a kid can use that .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So can you go on t t uh to the next slide . Yeah , so this is one of the interface or one of the remote which has this vi voice recogniser .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: User Interface: And this has multi-purpose use , it can be used for T_V_ , it can be used for cable-satellite , it can be used for V_C_R_ , D_V_D_s and audio . And this has in-built voice recogniser .
Project Manager: User Interface: Can you go on to the next slide ? Yeah , now this is an interface for a chil uh for a remote uh uh which a child can use .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Uh this is user-friendly , it's very attractive and uh children can use it as well as they can play with it . And this comes with different colours , different shapes .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: And this this uh child uh interface has minimum buttons
Marketing: User Interface: and all the important uh buttons are there in this small , compact , attractive child interface . Next slide , please . Now this is a big over-sized remote which cannot be misplaced or it's impossible to misplace .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Marketing: Project Manager: Marketing: You don't know me .
User Interface:    this . Marketing: I could lose that in a minute . User Interface: Project Manager: User Interface: So this is  No this is a very big , you cannot misplace it anywhere .
Marketing: User Interface: So this is a jumbo universal remote control and it's impossible to im misplace or lose . Marketing: Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: This i this is one such interface which can be created . And the personal preference uh would be a spe uh uh to incorporate speech recognisers uh which will respond to user's voice for a particular uh function .
Marketing: Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Right .
User Interface: Thank you , that's Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Okay , thank you very much . Uh any comments on uh her presentation ?
Marketing: Well , um looks like we still have quite a choice of things out there .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: Um what uh I'm No suggestion's bad .
User Interface: Mm yes .
Marketing: But uh we're gonna have to narrow it down a little more . I don't think that we can get uh The T-shape is good , the child one is good , the too big to misplace , I think it's just funny .
User Interface: Okay . Marketing: Um I don't think that's gonna be our impulse purchase at the checkout counter .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: Yeah , I I th I think User Interface: Okay .  Marketing: It's it's gonna be a little bit too unwieldy .
User Interface: Project Manager: No , I think the these are her presentations , but uh as far as the decision making we getting to that after after
Marketing: Yeah mm . Mm-hmm . Have to come back to that later . Okay .
User Interface: We can .
Project Manager: but if I just wanted to know whether anybody had any any anything to add to her presentation .
Marketing: No , I think her presentation was good , and she really explored all the options . Yeah .
Project Manager: Mm right . Mm-hmm . Ho who wants to go next um ? Mm-hmm . Okay ,
