B: I'm sorry to be late .
A: Welcome back .
A: Welcome back everybody .
C: Yeah .
C: Thanks .
A: So this meeting agenda will be the detailed design meeting .
A: And uh opening and uh P_M_s of the meet minutes ,
A: uh prototype presentation from uh Christine and uh Agnes .
B: Agnes , yes .
A: Yes
A: and uh evaluation criteria .
A: The finance , it's uh from my side , from the management ,
A: and uh production evaluation . Then uh closing .
A: So we have forty minutes to discuss and uh finalise and close the product and project and to move further , okay ,
A: so A: Okay , let's talk about uh maybe first uh for the prototype .
C: Mm , okay .
A: So I handle to C: I've done a presentation ,
C: but it pretty much covers work that we've both done ,
C: so if I'm missing anything , Christine can just correct me .
A: So shall I go to
B: Uh thank you ,
A: sorry .
B: so you did a PowerPoint presentation , good for you . A: Yep . S
A: Okay , let's go to A_M_I_ .
C: C: It's not the biggest PowerPoint presentation in the world , but B: D: B: A: So in two or three or C: Three .
C: Um .
C: No it's D: Probably . Technical pa I would think .
C: think it's the last one .
C: No ,
C: then this is C: the la yeah , that one , final design .
D: Ha .
A: Yeah .
C: It is named appropriately , you just couldn't see the name .
B: D: C: Um okay , can I have the mouse ?
A: Yes .
C: Thanks .
C: Alright , so
C: from when we were discussing specifying the case in the last meeting , we decided that we wanted an ergonomic shape ,
C: the material that we chose was wood ,
C: and uh the colour would be customisable ,
C: 'cause you can stain the wood whatever colour .
C: Um ,
C: so in terms of function , you have to be able to turn the T_V_ on and off , volume and channel control , menu control , voice recognition control ,
C: and we've incorporated the L_C_D_ screen on the flip panel as part of the design ,
C: if we figure out it's too expensive , well then you just take it off .
C: Um , so
C: to unveil our lovely product .
D: C: This is our remote control , with the flip panel as you can see .
C: So if you lift up the panel , you can see the lovely yellow L_C_D_ display .
C: Um , this is actually hard to do .
C: The yellow button you have is the on off button ,
C: so it's really big , hard to miss .
C: You have the the red um triangles are the toggles for changing the volume .
C: So up volume up , down volume down .
C: The green are the channel changing .
C: S And it's one of those very light , very touchable displays .
C: And then you have the numeric pad in the dark blue at the bottom ,
C: and on the right-hand side you have the access to the menu on the T_V_ ,
C: and on the left-hand side you have the the the ability to turn off the voice recognition .
C: So this is pretty much what we had on the white board the last time .
A: Mm-hmm .
C: So .
B: Um and uh I could C: Oh yes .
B: Yeah the d
C: Additional feature on the back is that you can have your own customised backing
C: and I suppose you could do the same thing on the flip case on the front .
C: So that you can really make this a highly highly customisable remote control .
B: We haven't um uh specified where the speaker or the microphone will be placed .
B: That depends on the uh s design of the circuit board inside and uh what room is left um C: Yeah .
A: I think the microphone is on on the top , uh on the middle , the under the flip .
B: Yes , okay .
B: Uh-huh .
A: So that will be the safe ,
A: so p any the chip A: it's not on the chip because you need to have microphone to B: No , I mean it depends on the design of the circuit board .
A: Yes .
C: But it shouldn't be under the flip either ,
C: because you can have the remote control closed , but you still might want to activate it by voice .
A: Uh it's it's A: Yeah , but uh uh
A: my opinion I think it's better under the flip
A: because whenever you want to uh the talk , okay , so then you can speak then you can close it .
A: But if you put it on the on the flip , okay , then uh technical I don't think it's uh feasible ,
A: 'cause most of the time you speak then it will be recognised .
C: But if you've already got the remote control in your hand you need to open the flip to use the voice , why use the voice , why not just use your hand ?
C: I mean the whole point of the voice is that if the remote control is sitting there and I'm too lazy to reach over and pick it up , I can just use my voice .
B: Maybe I've got my hand in the popcorn bowl and I'm holding my cup of Coca-Cola in the other hand .
C: Yeah .
C: And you don't wanna let go of either one . D: I don't wanna say . Louder . Yeah .
C: C: I mean it doesn't have to be on the flip ,
C: it can be on the side somewhere .
D: Can also be on the side .
A: Yeah , the sides maybe is good .
C: Yeah .
B: Mm-hmm .
C: So , I mean I can pass this around if anyone wants to A: Yes . So it's maybe good idea .
B: Yeah , y better you pass it around with a napkin . C: D: No , because y you can easily put a microphone on the side that would have no problem would haven't been not be damaged or anything , and it'd be accessible all the time to voice .
C: C: Yeah .
A: Yes .
A: Yeah .
C: Yeah , exactly .
D: Yeah .
A: So it's maybe good idea .
A: S s
B: It's um It's um D: Compliments to the artist .
B: You need to work on the weight a little bit . C: Yes .
D: Uh .
A: Okay . S A: I'm fine , I'm satisfi
C: And maybe the shape of the buttons ,
C: the little egg shapes aren't the most economical , but A: I'm satisfied .
B: We're glad you're satisfied .
A: Of course it's it's it's looks more heo heavy , but I think when it's completely maybe it's a less weight .
C: Yeah . I mean this is plasticene .
C: There's only so much you can do .
A: Yes .
C: We could have possibly made it a lot thinner as well .
C: But C: And part of the thing is m a lot of people say that they don't like something that's too light ,
C: because they don't feel like they have enough control over it .
B: Mm-hmm .
C: So I mean maybe this is excessively heavy ,
C: but I think it needs to have some weight ,
C: it needs to feel like you're still holding something .
A: Yep .
C: So that's pretty much it for our presentation actually .
A: That's your uh prototype model ?
C: Yeah .
A: Okay , that's good , thank you very much .
D: A: So any comments or uh D: Well , the prototype is is very well within the design and ideas that we've we've talked about on the previous meetings .
A: Okay .
D: Now it goes into this next phase as the financial uh marketing uh A: Yes , that uh A: So I'll come back to the A: A: So evaluation criteria , I think uh that will be good ,
A: so then let's come to the finance uh ,
A: I have some uh calculations which I made uh as for uh the budget .
A: So here you can uh look like uh the energy and uh dynamo and uh kinetic and solar cells .
A: Uh it's optional , somewhat optional
A: and Ed wants the chip on print , that's what uh we were talking about that .
B: A: So then we have sample sensor and sample speaker , then uh we have the wood material , then special colour and push button .
A: So it's uh A: actually , our budget was uh twelve point five Euro ,
A: but uh it's coming to nine point nine five Euro ,
A: so we are under uh below the budget ,
A: okay , so still we are saving some money .
A: I think it's a good figure .
B: Yes , great
A: D: B: I I'm surprised .
B: Congratulations . A: Than thank you .
D: Well we haven't come to mine yet , so A: C: B: Oh , okay
D: we're gonna have a bit of difference of opinion , yes . B: . It's gonna cost a long way to c you know , cost a lot of money to market it , is it ?
D: A: So maybe it's for some money we can utilise for our uh marketing , for the sales , okay , and uh D: Well , it just depends on if we're gonna add a o
D: on this pr provisionary cost analysis , we do not have a L_C_ display .
D: L_C_ display is gonna be very expensive ,
C: No we do , but it's not filled in .
D: it's gonna be C: It's number thirty .
D: It's not it doesn't say .
A: It's not .
B: Thirty .
D: We don't have the price up there ,
A: Yeah . Yeah .
C: Oh , yeah , yeah ,
C: you're right , sorry , yes .
A: Yeah . Yeah .
D: okay , so if we add approximately two to three Euro per remote , now we're up around about twelve , twelve and a half as to what uh the company had initially uh requested . Um B: Yeah .
B: So that means we can put the uh the L_C_D_ in , yeah .
D: Display in .
D: But as far as production um I'm putting up a question
D: because we're talking about profit also ,
D: and in mine you'll see uh the problem with uh our survey , the p the possibility that how many units can be sold , what percentage of the market , etcetera etcetera
D: because that has to be taken in into consideration .
A: D: Uh this is just production cost , it is not uh advertising cost , it's not transportation cost uh A: Yes , so still uh we have twelve point five Euro .
D: And that will inflate quite a bit the cost of the uh the cost of the unit for the company .
A: Yes .
A: A: Yeah , but A: Yes . Yep .
C: Um-hmm .
D: So to come up with what the company wants is a fifty million Pound profit , we're gonna have to go a long ways .
A: Yes .
A: This we are talking about one unit , okay ,
D: Yes .
A: so when it go into the quantity , okay , and the cost will come down .
B: Although customisation , because this is being done , you know , the on on-order basis , it might be uh the the quantity won't m won't uh
