D: A: Okay .
D: .
A: Right .
A: Okay .
A: Alright .
A: Is everyone here ? D: Yep . C: Yep .
A: Okay .
A: This is our conceptual design meeting .
A: And A: I'll just take a few minutes and uh go through the previous minutes .
A: Um then each of you will have your presentation ,
A: um and then we will need to make a decision on the concept for the remote control .
A: And then we'll have uh forty minutes for finishing up .
A: Um A: I'll go through the mee through the minutes first .
A: Um , we just refreshed our our uh goal of making the finest remote control available .
B: A: Um we decided that , or we know that we need to use company colours , company logo .
A: Um and
A: our Marketing Expert uh gave us some i uh information from interviews with a hundred different remote users .
A: Um with some statistics that backed basically what we were thinking before .
A: People thought their remotes were ugly , um
A: um
A: that remotes zap a lot .
A: Um they only use uh a finite amount of buttons .
B: A: Um and that they often lose the A: it's easy to lose a remote .
A: Um which were all things we were thinking we would wanna make it simple . Um A: And uh some sort of locator .
A: Either a button or tracking device . Um A: And that it should look different than what's out there .
A: Um A: Kind of mixed mixed response on the speech recognition .
A: The younger people said they wanted it , older people did not .
A: Um uh I think we decided that um the expense was not necessarily worth it ,
A: and that it was probably a gimmick , that um would increasingly wear on the consumers' nerves . Um  A: Then the User Interface Designer um explored some of the technical functions of the remote .
A: Um the simple versus the um the complex .
A: The simple one being better for a user , the complex better for an engineer . Um A: Um and some personal preferences that were found in that would be that it should be a user-oriented remote , something simple .
A: Um and that we didn't wanna go with a universal remote , because uh increasing cost and increasing complexity .
A: Um we would just have a T_V_ remote .
A: Um and that we should also focus on the appearance of the remote .
A: Have it s be something that looks different .
A: And finally our um Industrial Designer uh gave us a rundown of how the remote will work .
A: Um from energy source , um uh what we would use .
A: Batteries because we don't wanna have a a cable . Um A: How that would power the remote and the lamp .
A: If we were to to have one .
A: Uh um the user interface then would connect to a chip , which would work with the infrared controls uh to send the signal to the T_V_ . Um A: I believe then we came up with a couple of ideas for what we think the design of the remote will be . Um A: Um something that will fit into uh easily into someone's hand . A: And with a , just a few buttons .
A: Just the basics .
A: And with a scrolling um function also .
A: Okay
A: and I will leave that , leave it at that .
A: So A: Marketing ?
D: Okay .
A: We're watching trends .
D: Yep .
D: Can I have your cable please ?
A: I suppose that you can have this .
B: D: Thanks .
D: Okay so I was looking at trend-watching .
D: Um unfortunately I wasn't given too much information .
D: I was given a brief executive summary , and then an update on some recent fashion trends that we might like to look at .
D: And then I'll just tell you some personal preferences that I got from that .
D: Um okay the most important finding was that the fancy look-and-feel seems to be twice as important to the users as the current functional look-and-feel design ,
D: which I think we've kind of already discussed before .
D: Um the second most important finding was that the remote should be technologically innovative .
D: And again these are all things we've kind of already come up with on our own , but this just backs it up .
D: And thirdly the remote would be easy to use .
D: As far as fashion update , we've learned that fruits and vegetables will be the most important theme for cloths , shoes and furniture .
B: D: So that might be a bit of a challenge to incorporate this into our remote ,
D: but we can try .
D: Um and also , as opposed to last year , this year the material is expected to be spongy in feel .
D: Okay so from that um , as we've already said , we need to focus on a fancy look-and-feel .
D: Um I think we've already discovered that it's kind of hard to go away from the traditional rectangular design .
D: But I think that , even if it's very subtle , we need to kind of trick our consumers ,
D: so they at least get the idea that they're getting something that's new and modern and sleek and D: Whether it's through the shape or the colours or all of that .
D: Um for technologically innovative , we've talked about the tracking device .
D: We brought up the idea of having two pieces , which we could discuss further .
D: And Manuel had suggested um the energy source and the user interface , discussing some of those , um that we could change a little bit .
D: We need to keep it simple , have limited buttons ,
D: which I think the two piece idea might be really beneficial for . D: Um we need to incorporate this fashion trend of fruits and vegetables .
D: I don't know ,
D: I mean I guess the two options are if we had our remote in the shape of a fruit or vegetable .
A: A banana shape ?
C: Oh it was sort of banana shaped . D: Yeah . Yeah . Right .
D: Or with exterior designs .
D: But my question is , I mean the stereotypically speaking , you kind of picture males with their remote controls ,
D: and I'm not sure how they'd feel about having fruity logos on the outside .
A: D: So maybe we could have something that's somewhat removable ,
D: or I don't know , different options for female , male target groups .
D: And then the spongy feel .
D: I guess we could look at mobile phones and other technology that's out there .
D: C and look at different types of material that might please our users who want spongy-feeling remote controls .
D: So that's that .
A: So possibly like a uh ,
B: Alright .
D: A: sorry ,
A: just to butt in for a second .
A: Possibly uh like a cover like they have for mobile phones ?
D: That's what I was thinking yeah .
C: Those like , yeah , sort of spongy ones .
A: You have one with a flag , and one with a banana and one that's a spongy
D: C: D: Yeah .
D: So when you buy your remote you can buy
A: feel to it .
A: You can D: various coverings .
A: Mm various covers .
C: What's it called ?
C: Cust you  D: Personalise your remote .
C: personalised , yeah .
D: A: We could leave that to the cover department . D: Mm-hmm .
C: Yeah . B: A: A: We all know they've got nothing to do all day .
B: D: B: C: Okay .
C: Why can't I see the C: crazy .
C: Um yeah I talking about the interface concept and how the customer relates to , will use the , consumer will use the actual device .
C: Um so I've looked at some of the stuff I was sent , um , try and get some inspiration .
C: But keep in mind that our own ideas that we had .
C: Um I was sent some information from the company saying that they , the technology department have devised a new speech recognition technology , where you can program questions into such devices .
C: They gave an example of a coffee machine where you program a question , you program the answer , and the machine responds accordingly .
C: Um okay .
C: There's different ways of a user can use products l like a remote .
C: Um there's a graphical use , where you you look at pictures and well on a screen .
C: A command line where you obviously type things in , and you get a response .
C: Um and then it ju that's just to point out the sort of inconsistent u sort of use of interface in remotes .
C: You can't really see that picture well , but there's various different remotes , once again with lots of different buttons on , making it more complicated .
B: C: So , then I had a look at new products that are on the market .
C: Not necessarily remote controls but ones that you'll recognise .
C: Um this is the voice , there is a voice recognition remote control , which can control mus multiple devices .
C: I have a C: there is a picture .
C: You surf your favourite channels uh with your voice .
C: Store up to eighty speech samples , controls four devices , T_V_ , cable , satellite , V_C_R_ , D_V_D_ and audio .
C: And you can record your own v verbal labels , that are connected to remote control functions .
C: So the technology is there .
C: Um the one on the left is very similar to what we drew up on the board in the previous meeting , where there has scroll down functions on the side .
C: You can sort of just make those out .
C: And then on the right is obviously an iPod ,
C: which is you know possibly one of the simplest things to use out there ,
C: and really is ,
C: and all that is is just a a nice big scroll menu that y you sort of go through .
C: That is a possibility .
C: And nothing's simpler really .
C: Um then there's things like this , which is a a a kid's remote ,
C: where the the parents have the facility to control and program what children can watch before .
C: So the remote control it o only allows them to access the channels that their parents want them to watch .
C: And um it means that th children have a novelty of having their own remote control .
C: So I don't know if there's a possibility of having one remote contr you know like we just had two components ,
C: maybe it can have more components you know , different remotes .
C: Um the point made at the end there here is that you have to be sort of be need to be clear on your um devices , as to what , you know , things you use .
C: Sometimes an arrow pointing down , which may suggest volume down , could become confused just as a V_ for volume .
C: Just little things like that , which would need to be made clear in the design .
C: Um I think , d carrying on from what I've already said , a user friendly remote with minimum buttons .
C: Maybe we've so suggested this two-part thing , where if it was to have a speech recognition thing ,
C: you could maybe control that on the do it or program all that on the control bit .
C: And then just have the simple sort of hand-held thing that we sort of devised earlier , as the actual remote .
C: Um I don't C: it could be a graphical display , the actual remote contr the actual control port maybe could have like an iPod where you just sort of control through the menus .
C: Stuff like gets more and more compli complicated .
C: And then the the hand-held bit should be ergonomically designed .
C: And that is it .
C: Why am I C: Oh yeah .
C: Just .
C: Where are we ? Uh .
C: Just to sort of show you .
C: M they've even got things like that .
A: C: Huge things .
C: Which is just for your gr ninety year old grandma yeah ?
A: D: B: That's industrial design for cranes , stuff like that .
C: Yeah . Yeah .
A: Notice the giant dog bone shape ?
D: Dunno .
C: And that yeah .
B: Makes sense , makes sense .
B: A: Also good for animals .
C: Yeah .
C: See .
C: things .
C: .
C: Why's my screen crazy ?
B: Uh B: Well let's see .
B: I'm going to bore you with a couple of descriptions of the interior .
D: A: B: Just to to make it more obvious what we have to fit in there , and that we do have to fit the stuff in there .
B: I've more information on possible materials um as well .
B: What we can and cannot do .
B: Um but let's just wait for this to load up
B: and I'll show you what we're talking about here .
B: Okay .
B: The details of the components' design , as you can see there , what we have is the board , main board of the remote control .
B: The underside , that's pretty cheap piece of of technology really B: top left side you can see the chip , which is the , what we were talking about , this was is the device to recognise the signals the input ,
B: and it passes it on to a row of um further transistors and stuff like that on the right side that actually amplify the signal ,
B: which later on is being , is being transferred to a infrared lamp
B: which then um of course shines infrared light onto the television
B: which then will recognise what signal um it's getting and will do what you tell it . Um B: So much for the the workings of the of the uh remote control itself .
B: Its job is to wait for you to press a key , then to translate that key press into infrared light signals , um that are received by the television .
B: When you press a key um you complete a specific connection .
B: The chip senses the connection and knows what button you pressed .
B: It produces a morse code line signal specific to that button .
B: Right . Pretty clear .
B: Transistor amplifies the signal and then sends the m sends the signal to the L_E_D_ which translates the signal into infrared light .
B: The sensor in the T_V_ can see the infrared light , and seeing the signal reacts appropriately .
B: This is the circuit board from the other side .
B: Um the lower part of it ,
B: I don't know if you can see that properly ,
B: with the green greenish board is is what we what we saw in the first the first slide just flipped over .
B: Um you can see the circuit board itself .
B: That's the cheapest uh way to make electronic connections basically on the market .
B: Um what you do is you have , don't have cables , but you have the connections actually in these in these lines on the on the board .
B: These are the actual keys that are being pressed .
B: They close the electric circuit .
B: That then sends the signal to the chip on the other side .
B: That would be behind here .
B: Um which uh sends it over to the transistors and all that stuff that
D: B: amplify the signal and all that is being sent to the infrared lamp up there .
B: Now as you can see this is the the rubber button version of it .
B: Um the way it works is that you have the keys here .
B: The rubber button has a little metal uh plate on the other side , which closes the circuit here .
B: And thus gives on the signal .
B: Now this is the simple version .
B: Um we are talking um this this the simple and cheapest version at the same time .
B: We are talking something more complicated of course , it's going to be more expensive as well .
B: And not only that .
B: Um we are also restricted in the use of our outer shell , or in the material that we could use for our outer shell .
B: Um I've gotten some information that we could use for the case material plastic ,
B: rubber , as well .
B: Um rubber that is used in these anti-stress balls .
B: So it's pretty squishy .
D: Spongy ?
B: That would that would serve that purpose .
B: Um we could also use wood , or titanium .
C: A: What's the approximate per hundred thousand for the titanium ? D: C: B: Oh fya
D: B: I don't have an information on that .
B: However our company obviously can provide us with uh with the titanium , so I assume , I'm , I was given an okay to use it .
A: B: It certainly is an expensive material ,
B: I'm aware of that ,
A: B: but I was given an okay .
D: B: But there are certain restrictions to certain materials .
B: Now let's first go through the list with the materials .
B: So we what we can use is plastic , rubber , wood and titanium .
B: Can also mix these .
B: Um as for the energy source , um we were talking about that shortly in the other meeting .
B: Um what we could use is , or what I was offered , or what we could use , is a basic bateer battery .
B: Right ?
B: Uh a dynamo .
B: Interestingly enough .
D: B: Um we could use solar cells .
B: Or a device that was not n not further specified that provides kinetic energy .
B: Such as like watches you know . Where you just move them
B: m move the the actual device and this pr uh provides it with with uh some energy .
B: So um obviously I personally have to say that dynamo is out of the question really .
A: C: Mm .
D: B: You don't wanna wind up your remote control before you can use it
B: right ?
B: Um solar cell is interesting .
B: May fail though , every here and there .
C: Would you have to leave it by the window ?
B: Mm . Yeah
C: yeah . B: . Or you know you lose it , it lies behind the couch for a week
C: Yeah .
B: and yeah mm .
B: Always the you A: Works well in Arizona but in Edinburgh not so B: But D: Y probably not yeah .
B: exactly .
C: Yeah .
B: Um the kinetic energy thing um might work , um but the same problem .
B: You leave it lying around and you first have to shake it before it it starts to work .
D: B: So I'd say what we're stuck with really is um the basic battery .
B: Which also makes a base station basically obsolete .
B: We don't need that then .
B: Um B: However
B: our interface options are push-buttons .
B: In which uh in the production of which or in manufacture of which um our company is expert .
B: Um B: However we've discussed that scroll wheels are a better option .
B: And they are possible .
B: We have an okay for scroll wheels .
B: Okay . Um
B: however when it comes to the scroll wheel of the iPod I've one big objection and that is that we have to fit an L_C_D_ into the remote control as well .
B: This however may exclude certain um materials .
B: If you have a squishy uh kind of remote control , then an L_C_D_ screen may be affected by the movement .
B: Hence we might not be able to put it in there .
B: So um B: There's also restrictions to , when it comes to the chip .
B: If we have a more sophistic uh sophisticated scroll wheel rather than this very basic uh set-up that we that I've just presented , um the chip has to be more s more sophisticated and thus more expensive as well .
B: I don't have any details to , when it comes to the cost but um it will be a significant difference .
B: I'd rather say drop the titanium and therefore let's have a more sophisticated chip ,
B: but that's not up to me to decide really .
B: So that's for the for the scroll wheel .
B: Um it limits our choice
B: and squishy is hip , so I'd say rather not go for for that .
B: Let's see now .
B: Um um
B: solar cells cannot be used on a curved or latex um surface or um remote control .
B: But obviously that's not our problem um since we have decided or against solar cells , I assume
B: right ?
D: Mm .
B: Or is anybody still C: Yeah .
A: No I think I think batteries are probably the way to go .
B: alright .
D: No . Hmm .
B: Alright .
C: Yeah .
B: Uh which makes it very conventional but therefore traditional I assume .
B: Um B: Um B: With the titanium um we cannot make it a curved design .
B: We would just be able to make it flat and
B: and um yeah
B: a straight design pretty much .
B: Which I assume would exclude uh some of the more sophisticated versions . B: C: Would the sort of spongy and the the plasticky thing C: y you can get those mobile phones that initially have a it is plastic but then they have sort of a a s a cover on it which is just sort of soft and stuff .
D: Mm .
D: Like a covering .
D: Yeah .
C: So I don't know if that would still be possible to have you know in plastic .
C: But then where do people hold it ?
C: Just all be sort of spongy .
A: Yeah .
D: The we can have the fruits and vegetables on the spongy parts , so they can remove it .
C: C: C: So you C: as the the possibility of having a a graphical display on it , like a screen ?
C: Like the iPod ?
B: You can have an L_C_D_ screen .
B: Um but therefore no rubber will be used .
C: Right .
B: Alright ?
B: So plastic yes , titanium yes , but this will of course influence the form .
B: With plastic , as I understand it , you can use any form .
B: Um latex
B: is tricky .
B: Or rubber
B: and um and titanium also seems to be tricky when it comes to the form .
B: So the way to go is if you want a scroll wheel you either make it flat and angular , uh add an L_C_D_ screen , and um then you can basically choose either plastic or titanium .
C: Yeah . B: Or wood even .
B: Um if you wanna make it a particular shape , use plastic .
B: Add an L_C_D_ screen , add a scroll wheel , that'll be fine .
C: Yeah .
B: Or make it just push-buttons .
B: Basically plastic gives you the b biggest variety of of options .
B: Maybe not the nicest feel .
B: Or not much originality really .
A: So the ru wait the rubbery we can shape it however we want ?
A: Or the rubbery we cannot ?
B: With rubber we could uh sh pretty much shape it the way we wanted it ,
A: 'Kay .
B: but we cannot add scroll wheels , and we cannot add an L_C_D_ screen .
A: Mm .
D: Mm .
A: Mm . B: That's the tricky thing .
C: Could we not you know have a shape with a scroll and the screen ,
C: and then j just sort of that initial shape we had , just which is uh sort of banana-esque .
C: So that's thing if we did it yellow .
A: Yeah .
C: And um you know you just p stick on just sort of rubber things that that sort of grip the thumb bit .
C: They wouldn't have any C: they're just on the exterior .
C: They wouldn't be necessary to the actual shape of the thing .
A: Is that an option , a plastic shell with a rubbery coating on at certain spots ?
B: S Certainly can be done yes .
B: Um yeah .
B: if that doesn't affect the functional side of it all .
C: Yeah .
B: Like say just the underside or so then it can be done .
B: I assume .
B: Yeah .
B: So  B: The fruit design um B: How about um affecting the surface of the actual um remote control ?
B: Say we don't make it p a particular fruit shape obviously ,
D: Mm .
B: but uh give it like the surface of
B: an orange , banana , whatever .
B: You name it .
C: Mm .
A: What about a smell ?
B: Just design-wise .
C: D: A: T to the remote ? B: Mm . Nice one .
C: You could just sell it in different colours as well I suppose .
C: In different ye yellows .
D: Bright citrus colours yeah . B: Mm .
C: I don't suppose we have to stick to co
B: Well we we're supposed to stick to the company colours though ,
C: Stick to the colours yeah .
D: Oh yeah .
D: Yellow and grey .
B: that's yellow and grey .
A: Yellow and grey .
B: So what have we ,
B: lemon , banana , is C: Mm grapefruit . A: Grapefruit .
D: B: Grapefruit
B: is what we'd go for , when it comes to the outer appearance perhaps .
B: But mm .
A: I would say , if I were to make a decision , I would probably put the fruit aspect at the lower lower end of the spectrum of of importance .
D: C: Yeah .
C: .
A: Um D: I think having a shape could be a little ridiculous ,
A: D: like C: Yeah .
B: Well we have it banana-shaped already , kind of .
D: Well we kinda do yeah .
C: Yeah .
B: So A: Well perhaps the implied shape will be enough to lure that fruit-minded remote buyer .
C: Yeah .
D: And if it's yellow ? C:  and if it if it was done yellow , which is a company colour .
B: Right .
A: It's it's yellow . It's curved .
B: I it's yellow .
D: Grey buttons yeah .
B: Well so why not add a couple of grey stripes and make it look like a banana ? A: It's sort of A: couple of couple of grey stripes .
D: C: Yeah . A: We could put the grey stripes on the bottom so that that person could turn it over .
C: On the the gr
C: the rubbery grips could be grey .
A: It would look like a banana just sitting on their table .
D: Mm .
C: Yeah .
B: There you go .
A: Rather than  rather th D: B: C: It could C: and then you could actually h put the banana-shaped thing on the fruit bowl , on the coffee table ,
D: Oh .
C: and then people would always know where it was .
A: Maybe the holder , if we were to have a holder , it could be shaped like a fruit .
D: Nice .
D: Could look like a fruit bowl .
B: It could be an ape . D: A: Could be ,
C: C: Yeah .
A: it could be an ape or a fruit bowl .
A: we could have a variety of options here .
C: Yeah .
D: B: A: D: 'Kay .
B: Yeah .
A: Do you have more to your presentation ?
B: That's pretty much it .
B: I informed you about the materials , what the interior has to look like , and what the limitations to certain materials are on
A: Oh .
B: there you go .
A: Okay .
A: I'm gonna plug in here real quick .
B: Sure .
A: If I could .
B: Hang on .
B: There you go .
A: Like I said we have to make a decision on a couple of these items here .
A: Um A: ow . Ow .
D: So is the two piece idea out ?
D: Or have we not decided ?
C: Well we sort of  rid of that because gonna use a battery .
C: And the base station might not be necessary .
D: Oh right okay .
B: Well we can still design a two-piece uh remote um without having a base , having one of them be a base station ,
C: Yeah .
D: C: Yeah .
B: but just have it be an optional either big remote with lots of functions , or you take out the smaller piece .
D: Mm .
B: We can still do that .
B: However of course this would be like designing two remotes pretty much .
A: Mm-hmm .
B: So um which then , as I understand it , would probably limit the , limit again the the the use of certain materials , because they would be too expensive .
B: Say like have a scroll wheel and uh on both of them , or have an L_C_D_ screen and so on so on .
D: Mm .
B: You'd probably have to stick rather with a just traditional rubber button
B: design which we saw there .
D: Mm . B: But could be done , of course .
A: Okay .
A: Uh so these are the decisions that we do need to make by the end of this meeting .
A: Um for our components concept we need to come up with the energy source , um the chip-on-print , and the case .
A: Probably case um material .
A: And probably a shape also .
A: Um and then for the user interface concept we need to decide what the tape , what , what the type is .
A: And what kind of supplements we'll have .
A: Um A: Energy source I think we've , I think we've decided batteries , although not exciting , are probably our best bet .
B: Right .
A: And we have five minutes .
B: Okay when it comes to the chip-on-print , as I said , the the more advanced features you want , um the fancier the chip has to be and the more expensive .
B: Uh if you want just a normal button version , the chip-on-print is gonna be
D: Mm .
B: a cheap one .
B: Right ?
A: 'Kay .
A: So A: Um I guess we should pick the case then .
A: If we go with the plasticky case , or the the plastic case , um then the chip-on-print is still kind of , we could have either or .
A: We could have a complex one or a a non-complex .
B: Yeah .
A: But did we decide that the rubbery feel was important enough to us ?
D: Well what about what you said , like putting the
C: Just A: .
C: just maybe D: finger grips just on top of the plastic ?
C: yeah . Just a little bit of .
A: Okay .
A: So we would ,
A: we would have the L_C_D_ screen ?
B: as long as the pla uh the rubber is nowhere near the controls , yes .
A: 'Kay .
A: So I guess the case would be plastic ,
A: with Perhaps that's not even enough rubber to qualify as being part of it .
A: It's more of a su it's more of a supplement maybe .
C: Yeah .
B: .
D: Yeah .
B: M more of a l lamination perhaps . C: Yeah .
D: So then for the scroll , are we going for the iPod type ?
C: Yeah I think so .
D: Yeah ?
C: I think D: Okay .
A: Which will require a more expensive chip-on-print right ?
B: Yes . It does .
A: 'Kay .
A: So A: I guess that , is that , is that about it ?
A: So we have a good idea of what we're gonna need to to do on this ?
B: Right .
A: Um okay so we will have another meeting in thirty minutes . Um  A: Here's what's gonna be going on . Um A: Um Ryan you'll be working on the user interface design . Um A: Manuel you'll be working on the look-and-feel design .
B: Right .
A: Corrine we'll want a product evaluation .
A: And the two of you get to play with the uh modelling components and uh
C: D: A: maybe and and get us a prototype .
C: A: Which should go along well with your look-and-feel design and your interface .
A: So that A: basically just be working on the prototype , uh we'll accomplish your other two actions .
B: A: Alright .
A: Okay .
A: Let's do it . B:
