B: Hmm .
C: A: Good morning everybody .
C: Good morning . B: Good morning .
D: Good morning .
A: A: So , we are asked to to make uh uh a new remote control for television .
A: And the characteristics of this new remote control should be original and trendy and of course user user friendly .
A: So people can can use it without any any problem .
B: A: .
C: A: I don't know .
C: B:  A: C: Well , I think we should set the the points to to drive the project and uh
B: Mm .
B: B did you send us an email about this ?
B: A: Uh , not yet ,
C: A: but if you want B: Yeah , we we received an email about this uh d designs . A: Do you want do you want me to send you a mail ?
C: B: Ah it's Okay . A: Or C: D: Or you can put it in the shared folder .
B: Yeah ,
B: you see the email ?
B: You email .
B: The v very B: no , no
B: the first one .
D: No , I didn't get it .
B: It's inside .
A: Uh D: This one .
B: No , no .
D: No .
B: The third one .
B: Oh , you didn't get anything .
D: No , .
B: It's strange .
B:  Mm . B: I got an email about the dis about the discussion . Yeah .
A: .
A: You get email , . B: I dunno from who .
D: C: Yeah , from the account manager .
B: From the account manager .
B: You have received the same email , right ?
C: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
D: I think it's for your guys to how to design it all the aspects so you need that information .
B: Yeah .
C: Yeah , I think so .
B: Yeah , so each of us has a role to do .
D: Yeah
A: S
D: I think assign your uh roles .
B: In each B: We already have our role .
A: For each for each one .
D: For each person , yeah .
B: 'Kay , we can A: So there are A: so we have three B: So there are three kinds of designs , that's all .
A: f yeah .
A: We have functional design , conceptual design , and detail design .
B: Okay , alright . A: So , who will be the the responsible for the functional design ?
C: A: Any any volunteer ?
C: I think our uh responsibilities will be assigned when we in our mail we received from the account manager .
B: Yeah , yeah .
C: Uh
B: I'm doing the interface .
A: You are doing th
C: No ,
C: I'm doing the interface . A: .
B: Are you using the you are doing the in C: Yeah I I'm I'm C: Well , maybe we have C: okay so I industrial design .
C: It was a little confusion about my uh B: Ah  A: C: but it's alright .
B: Okay .
A: Okay , I'll for industrial design .
C: Yeah .
A: Okay .
A: And and you Norman ?
B: Mm ?
B: Um working on i . User interface . C: User .
A: And A: And D: Uh , I'm into marketing .
A: doing the marketing .
D: yeah
D: nothing much in the project .
A: Nothing related here to the D: Marketing in this design .
D: A design is basically for industrial design and the user interface .
B: Yes .
A: B: You see the second mail ?
B: Yeah , it's inside .
B: Go down .
B: Appendix .
D: Yeah , this is .
B: See there's a role for everybody .
D: Yeah , that's right ,
D: first .
B: Even for the marketing .
D: us user define .
A: Next .
B: But look at your role , your marketing role .
D: There's a trend watching .
A: I don't know .
B: Yeah ,
B: that's your role .
A: I .
C: Well , I think we can have a little discussion about what has to be done
C: and what are your ideas about the A: A: About the design or A: Maybe we'll discuss this later , no ?
C: Well , w we want to have a new re remote control for for T_V_ distribution I guess .
A: Mm-hmm .
C: So we have to plan how how it would be developed and uh
D: Yeah .
B: Mm .
C: how we can make it work .
B: Yes .
D: I mean working remotes we already have .
D: This will be something different from the other remotes remote controls .
C: C: Yeah , I dunno I A: What we we have to keep in mind the these characteristics .
A: And of course it should not be very costly .
D: Yeah , that's right .
A: So  C: Yeah .
B: Mm-hmm .
C: Well I I think that Norman and I would think about um the technical points
C: and um we should discuss it in the next meeting , or
B: Need to collect information . C: Yeah . A: About the A: about what ?
B: Um .
B: I I'm part of design , perhaps .
B: Uh , what is most important in a in a remote control ?
B: What is the most important function aspect ?
B: Uh .
A: You mean the external or C: Well , you have to make it work .
A: Yeah of g of course .
B: That's alright .
C: That's the that's the big thing .
B: Yeah , it should be easy to work with .
A: C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
C: We can think about an interface with uh well B: Uh . We maybe you can have a speech uh recognition interface .
B: You just tell the television I want which channel .
B: Or or you can say for example , um  I want uh to list all the programme tonight .
A: You won't B: Y you know , instead of uh remote control it's doing the some searching for you ,
B: so you don't have to look for the channel you want .
B: Just say maybe I just want to press I wanna have a button for all the movies tonight .
B: Or a button for all the magazines , all the information documentary tonight .
B: And then you list a few ,
B: and I will choose from the list .
B: So instead of pressing the channel number , I am choosing the programmes directly .
C: Yeah , yeah .
B: Yeah , that's one way of uh making it useful .
A: I I think if we include a lot of technology on the remote control it will be very costly .
B: No ,
B: because B: no ,
B: it's not very a lot .
A: S B: Th this information exists .
B: For example you can get um  A: Like s uh you you you say we can use speech .
B: You can use uh well for example anything . B: The the idea of using speech to reduce the button , but uh and it's more natural . Yeah .
C: I C: 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
D: I'm a okay .
B: Yeah . Yeah .
D: I mean the main uh function of remote control is to have something in the hand
D: and we should be very careful about the size of the remote control .
A: In the hand .
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
D: 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
B: Yeah .
B: Yes , possible .
D: if you want to put a speech recognition system f interface for that I think the T_V_ itself could have it .
B: Yeah . But C: Yeah .
D: And I could talk to the T_V_ television itself .
A: Except if if you are far from the T_V_ .
D: I need not have an B: Yeah . C: D: I mean we have some or something , different technology but A: This is it's B: Yeah , yeah .
B: 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 .
C: On the content .
D: Mm-hmm , yeah .
C: Yeah , yeah it's it's a good idea it's a good idea
B: So it's more powerful .
A: Mm-hmm .
C: but I I think that technically it would be um a little bit uh uh more tricky to to achieve this than just to B: Yeah .
B: No .
B: No ,
B: because you see now all the T_V_ programmes are available on the webs .
B: They they are they are they are available in X_M_L_ format or whatever the format .
B: We don't care .
B: We just say that this are some content .
B: We just want to retrieve the content
B: and then classi sort them by the types of programmes .
B: Some of the websites they already provide this service ,
C: Yeah yeah .
B: so we can just use the service available .
B: Download it uh to the to this remote control .
B: And then there's there are only six buttons for six categories , or sev seven .
A: Mm .
B: The most there are only seven buttons .
B: So I just choose the category one
B: and you reuse the same button , for example to to choose among the the sorted list the programme you want ,
