Industrial Designer: Well , I think we can have a little discussion about what has to be done
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: and what are your ideas about the Project Manager: About the design or Maybe we'll discuss this later , no ?
Industrial Designer: Well , w we want to have a new re remote control for for T_V_ distribution I guess .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: So we have to plan how how it would be developed and uh
User Interface: Mm .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: how we can make it work .
User Interface: Yes .
Marketing: I mean working remotes we already have . This will be something different from the other remotes remote controls .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: What we we have to keep in mind the these characteristics .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , I dunno I Project Manager: And of course it should not be very costly .
Marketing: Yeah , that's right .
Project Manager: So  Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Well I I think that Norman and I would think about um the technical points and um we should discuss it in the next meeting , or
User Interface: Need to collect information . Industrial Designer: Yeah . Project Manager: About the about what ?
User Interface: Um . I I'm part of design , perhaps . Uh , what is most important in a in a remote control ? What is the most important function aspect ? Uh .
Project Manager: You mean the external or Industrial Designer: Well , you have to make it work .
Project Manager: Yeah of g of course .
User Interface: That's alright .
Industrial Designer: That's the that's the big thing .
Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah , it should be easy to work with .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: We can think about an interface with uh well User Interface: Uh . We maybe you can have a speech uh recognition interface . You just tell the television I want which channel .
Project Manager: You won't User Interface: Or or you can say for example , um  I want uh to list all the programme tonight . Y you know , instead of uh remote control it's doing the some searching for you , so you don't have to look for the channel you want . Just say maybe I just want to press I wanna have a button for all the movies tonight . Or a button for all the magazines , all the information documentary tonight . And then you list a few , and I will choose from the list . So instead of pressing the channel number , I am choosing the programmes directly . Yeah , that's one way of uh making it useful .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .
Project Manager: I I think if we include a lot of technology on the remote control it will be very costly .
User Interface: No , because no ,
Project Manager: S User Interface: it's not very a lot . Th this information exists . For example you can get um  Project Manager: Like s uh you you you say we can use speech .
User Interface: You can use uh well for example anything . The the idea of using speech to reduce the button , but uh and it's more natural . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: I I think if you want t to choose uh from a list of programme or or something like that you you may have to to use uh w uh I dunno
Marketing: I'm a okay .
User Interface: Yeah . Yeah .
Marketing: I mean the main uh function of remote control is to have something in the hand
Project Manager: In the hand .
Marketing: and we should be very careful about the size of the remote control .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: If we are going to add a speech interface , I'm not sure with trendy slim size of the remote control it would be able to put a speech recog
User Interface: Yeah . Yes , possible .
Marketing: if you want to put a speech recognition system f interface for that I think the T_V_ itself could have it .
User Interface: Yeah . But Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: And I could talk to the T_V_ television itself .
Project Manager: Except if if you are far from the T_V_ .
Marketing: I need not have an User Interface: Yeah . Industrial Designer: Marketing: I mean we have some or something , different technology but Project Manager: This is it's User Interface: Yeah , yeah . But th the main idea I wanted to s I wanted to say is that um there should be a function , instead of choosing the ch T_V_ channel , there's a option you can choose , either T_V_ channels or or pr or the or the contain or the contents of the programme .
Industrial Designer: On the content .
Marketing: Mm-hmm , yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah it's it's a good idea it's a good idea
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So it's more powerful . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: but I I think that technically it would be um a little bit uh uh more tricky to to achieve this than just to User Interface: No . No , because you see now all the T_V_ programmes are available on the webs . They they are they are they are available in X_M_L_ format or whatever the format . We don't care . We just say that this are some content . We just want to retrieve the content and then classi sort them by the types of programmes . Some of the websites they already provide this service ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah .
User Interface: so we can just use the service available . Download it uh to the to this remote control .
Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: And then there's there are only six buttons for six categories , or sev seven . The most there are only seven buttons . So I just choose the category one and you reuse the same button , for example to to choose among the the sorted list the programme you want , so you don't have to choose among hundred channels , if you have hundred channels , you just have six buttons , seven buttons .
Project Manager: Yeah we should also optimise the the number of buttons .
User Interface: Yeah , yeah .
Industrial Designer: Well I I I I think that j just by using navigation buttons and the user interface on the screen we are able to uh navigate uh through the Well channel programme or contents or in an easy way , so Project Manager: This is good idea .
User Interface: Yeah . Ah , yes . So . Yeah . Yeah , so you don't have to display here , just display on the T_V_ screen , right ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah in the dis display on the T_V_ screen
User Interface: Good idea . Okay .
Industrial Designer: and just uh with the with your remote control would just navigate through the f
User Interface: I think I think that will be revol revolutionary .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: User Interface: Because all the T_V_ uh the the remote control have all numbers , lots of buttons and then you dunno what to choose in the end . Yeah . Alright . Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah . So  I think for for the technical points we have to to to check how to gather the data from programme or contents and all this stuff
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: So we have five minutes to User Interface: Ah w w we have sometimes to use the white-board .
Project Manager: Ah you can y you can you can use it if you so , can we
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Five minutes .
Marketing: And another interesting idea for this would be to have an light adaptation system depending upon the picture of User Interface: Okay . Okay .
Marketing: So , I mean , if you're watching a movie and suddenly there is a dark uh some dark scene , the lights adapt themself .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: S
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: The lighting in the room changes .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Yeah , but we are designing just remote control .
Project Manager: You it .
Marketing: I mean , we have a option in the remote control . If we want to have that option , you press that button in the remote .
User Interface: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Oh right so User Interface: Okay , do you want to have a conceptual remote control there , or you just want to put the function in ?
Project Manager: Yeah . If if you you you can if you want you can use th the .
Industrial Designer: Please , Norman , draw uh User Interface: Go on , draw something . Mm .
Marketing: Oh , I'm afraid you forgot to put your lapel .
User Interface: Where is it ?
Marketing: The lapel .
Project Manager: Or before the before the the design that says .
User Interface: Ah , okay .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Where where is it ? Here .
Marketing: Yeah , that one .
Project Manager: Norman .
Marketing: Just plug it .
User Interface: Mm .
Marketing: Yeah , that's right .
Project Manager: Be before before writing you can uh sit and that says what we what we said
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: then after that you can you can use the . Yeah .
