Project Manager: 'Kay . So these are the points we have to discuss . Um first I think we can talk about the energy source , since that's um has a pretty big influence on production price , uh and image .
User Interface: Project Manager: Uh so uh f I think first of all we have to see uh it is possible to introduce kinetic energy in our budget , I think .
Industrial Designer: Yes w there there are four options . We could use the basic normal battery .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Uh a hand dynamo .
Project Manager: Okay . Industrial Designer: But I don't think that's really an option .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: You don't wanna swing before you can watch television .
Marketing: Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Uh solar cells . But not every room is very light
User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: so it's not a very good option .
Project Manager: No .
Industrial Designer: Or the kinetic energy .
Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .
Marketing: And how exactly does the kinetic energy work ?
Industrial Designer: Well y you basically shake your remote , and then it powers up .
Marketing: You just You use it and it works .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Nah .
Marketing: Okay . Well personally I don't think that older people like to shake their remote control before they use it .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Yeah . That's true .
Marketing: And besides that you mentioned it would make the docking station obsolete .
Industrial Designer: Oh .
Marketing: And I think our docking station could be one of the marketing issues with which we can um get great popularity for our product .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: But
Marketing: Um wel
User Interface: what's the function ? Yeah f for loading up uh the batteries .
Marketing: Yeah you could load up the batteries ,
User Interface: B b
Marketing: you could um insert the find the lost remote control function in there .
User Interface: Okay but uh it won't use uh much e energy uh I I believe . Uh it's uh just a small display so I believe uh it will run on one battery for um six months or f or or more . So I believe one battery uh is just enough .
Project Manager: Uh User Interface: Uh so Project Manager: Uh well I think uh elderly people just like to have everything in place .
Marketing: That's true . Project Manager: And I don't think they they like uh remotes just laying everywhere in their rooms .
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: So maybe a docking station will help them give the remote a place .
User Interface: Yeah . That's true . Yeah .
Project Manager: And also what you said . Um you can introduce voice recognition by uh finding back your remote .
User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: But I think it's um more efficient and cheaper to put it in the docking station .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So you have a but button on your docking station which you can push , and then it starts beeping .
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: And then we can we can still use the voice recognition , but maybe then for only the the channels .
User Interface: Yeah . Uh .
Project Manager: That's safe .
Marketing: I'm wondering um what will the voice recognition mean for the production price ?
Project Manager: Yeah . That's a good point .
Industrial Designer: Mm I don't have any information on pricing . So I'll have to ask the manufacturing department .
User Interface: Mm .
Marketing: 'Cause in our earlier um market research , if you'd allow me to go to the flat board , SMARTboard .
Project Manager: Yeah , sure . Go ahead .
Marketing: Um so it was open here . Um we also um asked if w they would , if people would pay more for speech recognition in a remote control . Well you can see here , our target group would not do that .
Project Manager: No .
Marketing: So if that would increase the price for which we're selling our remote control
User Interface: Mm .
Marketing: I would greatly advise not to do it .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Marketing: I think that would be better to uh insert in our other product , that is meant for the
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: younger people .
User Interface: 'Kay .
Industrial Designer: But that would also go for the L_C_D_ screen then I guess . It's a bit higher percentage , but Marketing: Um well this is Yeah but this is here the question was , would you prefer it . So that doesn't really mean they wouldn't pay extra for it . And on top of that the L_C_D_ screen would um help in making the remote control easier to use .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Marketing: And I think a voice recognition function would not make the remote control much easier to use .
Project Manager: Easier to use ? No , I think that's a good point .
User Interface: But uh is uh our uh research um about um bi large uh L_C_D_ sh uh display , or uh just a small one uh we want to uh use ?
Marketing: Um well this was for like an L_C_D_ screen like you would have on a on the the most advanced mobile phones .
User Interface: Okay .
Marketing: So pretty large .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: I personally think the L_C_D_ screen we wanna use , with the extra information , I think nobody has anything against it . Because it's just uh some extra information ,
User Interface: No .
Project Manager: and it's easy to ignore as well . So if you don't wanna use it you just don't use it .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: And um yeah I think the um Maybe we have to uh discard the voice recognition . Because it will increase cost uh signifi uh significantly . And I don't think the I don't think it will be a lot easier to use , as well .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So that brings us back to the energy . If we don't have the voice recognition , it will it won't use a lot of energy to use . Um User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: So in that case we could use kinetic uh energy , but I think just a simple battery which you can reload on a docking station is just as good . And much cheaper as well .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So Industrial Designer: And that's the best choice .
Project Manager: Okay let me just choose for the battery . That brings us to the chip .
Industrial Designer: Well there isn't any choice there because we're using the the the the display .
Project Manager: Just the advanced .
Industrial Designer: So it's gotta be advanced .
Project Manager: Okay
Marketing: 'Kay .
