Marketing: So ca can we can we create that kind of interface within a scroll system ? You understand what I'm saying ?
User Interface: I think I know what you might be getting at , or or Project Manager: Oh I see so if maybe if we had an L_C_D_ up the top that just did a number on it , right ? And then it that basically Marketing: Oh no we could read it from the television .
User Interface: Well , what about this what about if you can programme in your favourite channels into this scroll wheel and you can just like roll through your favourite channels ,
Project Manager: Mm . Well that's quite cool .
User Interface: and it c it Project Manager: You'd need a display on the th the thing .
User Interface: Why ? It'll tell you when you flip the channel on the T_V_ .
Marketing: Yeah the the television can tell you .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Can .
Project Manager: Oh yeah yeah no I see what you're talking about . Yeah that's kinda cool . How would you program it though ?
User Interface: Well you just it's one extra button . You say programme start , and then type in Marketing: Put User Interface: 'cause you still have the typing you know you'll still have the keypad where you can type 'em in manually .
Project Manager: Okay okay .
User Interface: So programme start , zero , one , enter , zero , five , enter , thirty eight , enter , programme end .
Project Manager: Okay and yeah
Marketing: And then .
Project Manager: and that just basically flips between it and it'll go it sends out zero , five , and then thirty six , and then zero , one again .
User Interface: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Yeah that's kinda cool . I like that .
Marketing: And again we have another another great marketing tool .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: We have about three we have three or four things here .
Project Manager: That's not gonna be too expensive because that's gonna be you're gonna be able to nab that off of computer mouse manufacturers really . You could basically come up with a partnership to be able to produce that quite cheaply .
User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: I dunno and an maybe we maybe even have this as in-house technology . This may be something that's available through our own uh through our own services .
Project Manager: Might be , but tha that's not gonna be such a costly feature . The problem we're gonna have is making it robust . Making it last .
User Interface: Oh well we also have to determine in some manner how to switch between modes , between going through your favourites list and just hitting up one , up two .
Marketing: Or we go directional up we go we go this we go this we go this way for one , we go this way for the other .
Project Manager: So if there's a button for each type .
User Interface: No because you wanna be able to go up and down through the channels .
Project Manager: Yeah people are gonna have their favourite sorta , whether they do that or whether they Marketing: Ah-ha okay . Okay , okay ,
User Interface: Right .
Marketing: well then you just have , you have a diff you have a mode switch .
Project Manager: Yeah yeah the mode switch .
User Interface: I think we'll need a we'll need a mode switch , but then if we have a mode switch we're gonna need some kinda indicator
Project Manager: Just the lights behind the buttons .
User Interface: to which , an L_E_ an L_E_D_ Project Manager: You could have back-lit buttons maybe .
User Interface: okay .
Project Manager: Would that work ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Is that  User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: okay we have five minutes . So right details th that we've talked about here are that we want a scroll wheel .
Marketing:  Project Manager: We want a mode indicator . We want back-lit buttons . And if we're making back-lit buttons period , do we want that just for the mode indicator or maybe to indicate what button you're pressing at the time , so that you know if it's actually pressed or not . I've seen some remotes do that .

Summary: According to the user interface designer, to implement this function, the users should press a button to start the program and type in their favourite channels. The project manager liked this idea and the marketing thought it would be another great market tool. In terms of the cost, the project manager believed it wouldn't be too expensive because they could come up with a partnership to produce that quite cheaply, but the marketing held that the technology was available through their own service. Furthermore, this function must be accompanied by a mode switch and an indicator.
