'KAY SO I'M JUST GONNA YEAH APPROACH THE TECHNICAL FUNCTIONS DESIGN UM THE METHOD I USED WAS TO EXPLORE THE UH TECHNICAL FUNCTIONS OF A REMOTE CONTROL AND T S SIMPLEST APPROACH THAT I CAME TO IS IS TO CHANGE PROGRAMME AND OPERATE AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE REMOTELY I MEAN THAT'S AN OBVIOUS THING TO SAY BUT IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO THE DEVICE THAT YOU WANT TO CONTROL UM I HAD SOME THINGS SENT TO ME NOT VERY MUCH TO LOOK AT SIMILAR DEVICES UM DEFINED IN SOME THEM AND THEN THE PERSONAL PREFERENCES THAT I WILL SUGGEST UM WE DISCUSSED A UNIVERSAL ONE UM LIKE IT'S JUST BEEN BROUGHT UP AGAIN THEN BUT I THINK A UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL IS ACTUALLY QUITE A DIFFICULT OBJECT TO DESIGN AND PO POSSIBLY WITHIN MAYBE THE BUDGET THAT WE DO IT UM BECAUSE YOU'D NEED TO KNOW ALL THE SPEF SPECIFICATIONS OF A ALL THE LIKE ELECTRONIC COMPANIES I'M NOT SURE HAVE YOU EVER COME ACROSS A UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL YOURSELF BUT YOU HAVE TO I THEY'RE A NIGHTMARE TO USE YOU HAVE TO SET THEM RESET THEM TO EVERYTHING UM AND THAT WOULD ONLY ADD BUTTONS WHEREAS I THINK THE AIM IS TO TAKE AWAY BUTTONS SO I THINK IT'D BE BETTER MAYBE TO CONCENTRATE ON MAYBE JUST A UNIVERSAL ONE FOR T. V. S UM OR MAYBE JUST ONE THAT YOU COULD WE COULD DESIGN AND THEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE MANUFACTURERS COULD USE IT TO SET TO THEIR SPECIFICATIONS IF IF THE AIM IS TO GET SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE IN DESIGN UM OKAY HERE HERE'S JUST TWO PICTURES OF REMOTE CONTROLS THEY'RE JUST SIMPLE T. V. REMOTE CONTROLS BUT ONE IS UH USER CENTRED THAT IS THE ONE ON THE LEFT AND YOU CAN STRAIGHT AWAY SEE THERE'S LESS BUTTONS AND THE OTHER ONE IS ENGINEER CENTRED WHERE THAT'S MORE UH SPECIFIED FOR THE SORT OF THE ELABORATE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IT'S TRYING TO CONTROL UM WHICH APPEALS MORE TO THE PRODUCT THAT WE WANT AND ON WHAT THE HAVE SAID AND THE MARKET RESEARCH AND STUFF PROBABLY LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE USER CENTRED FEWER BUTTONS SIMPLER TO USE AND IF TEN PERCENT UM IS HIDDEN AWAY IF TEN PERCENT IS WHAT'S USED MAYBE THE OTHER FIFTY PERCENT THE BUTTONS THAT ARE USED VERY RARELY LIKE PROGRAMMING THEY COULD BE HIDDEN MAYBE UNDER SOME REMOTE CONTROLS YOU MIGHT HAVE COME ACROSS HAVE MAYBE A LITTLE FLIP THI THING WHERE THEY'RE HIDDEN AWAY AND THE MAIN BUTTONS ARE THE ONES YOU OR THE ONES YOU COME ACROSS UM AND FINALLY UM UH SORT I'VE SORT OF COVERED THAT OUR PRODUCT I THINK SHOULD BE USER INTERFACE ORIENTATED UM LIKE I SAID TO CONCENTRATE ON T. V. REMOTE CONTROL A UNIVERSAL REMOTE MIGHT BE TOO COMPLEX UM AND AS WHAT IT THE MAJOR FINDINGS MARKET RESEARCHERS HAVE SAID IT'S THE IMAGE AND THE APPEARANCE THAT PEOPLE DI DISLIKE SO THAT WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON SOMETHING THAT WOULD SET A TREND AND THEN AND CHANGE THE FASHION OF REMOTE CONTROLS AND THAT'S IT CABLE THERE THANK YOU WHAT WAS YOUR LAST CONCLUSION ON THAT ONE FOCUS ON UH THE I THE IMAGE OF IT 'KAY GOOD GOOD OKAY GONNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE WORKING DESIGN OF THE INTERIORS BASICALLY WHICH IS WHAT DICTATES THE DESIGN THE BOTH THE INTERFACE BASICALLY AND THE OUTER APPEARANCE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THE STUFF THAT NEEDS TO GO IN THERE RIGHT SO UNFORTUNATELY THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS LITTLE PRESENTATION FOR ME OBVIOUSLY WERE TOO DRUNK TO ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH IT SO UM I'M GOING TO DO A LOT OF THE STUFF ON THE BOARD UM JUST THIS IS THE BASIC BASIC PREMISE OF A REMOTE CONTROL UM THE BASIC FUNCTION IS TO SEND MESSAGES TO ANOTHER SYSTEM OKAY SO MUCH IS CLEAR AN ENERGY SOURCE FEEDS AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT LIKE A CHIP THAT CAN COMPOSE MESSAGES OFTEN IN THE FORM OF INFRARED BITS THIS IS THE MOST MOSTLY USED UM THERE'S UH ALSO SOME SOUND SYSTEMS BUT INFRARED IS THE BETTER OR THE MORE MORE USED SYSTEM UM PARTS ARE CHEAPER AS WELL A USER INTERFACE CONTROLS THE CHIP AND ACCORDINGLY THE MESSAGES THIS IS WHERE MY PEOPLE SCREWED UP BASICALLY SO I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT ON THE BOARD RATHER UM WHAT WE HAVE IS DIFFERENT COMPONENTS THAT OBVIOUSLY NEED TO GO IN THERE WE'LL START WITH AN ENERGY SOURCE RIGHT UM WHICH IS USUALLY A BATTERY RIGHT SINCE IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO ADD A CABLE TO THAT THIS ENERGY SOURCE OF COURSE IS CONNECTED TO THE THE USER INTERFACE ITSELF UH WHICH CAN BE BUTTONS WHATEVER WHICH IN FACT CONTROLS A CHIP RIGHT THIS IS THE USER INTERFACE AND THERE WE HAVE THE CHIP UM THE WAY THIS GOES NORMALLY IS THAT THIS CHIP THEN CONTROLS AN INFRARED LAMP THAT SENDS OUT THE SIGNAL OF COURSE THE SIGNAL DIFFERS ACCORDINGLY UM DEPENDING ON WHAT THE CHIP TELLS THE INFRARED LAN LAMP AND OF COURSE THAT'S CONTROLLED THE CHIP ITSELF IS CONTROLLED BY THE USER INTERFACE THE WAY YOU NORMALLY NORMALLY DO IT IS THAT YOU ADD A LITTLE DEVICE SUCH AS A LAMP TO THE WHOLE THING AS WELL SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT'S WORKING BASICALLY YOU PRESS SOMETHING YOU GET A RESPONSE WHICH IS ALSO COMPARATIVELY UM IMPORTANT ON ONE OF THOSE DEVICES NOW THIS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE OR WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ARE THESE TWO COMPONENTS MOSTLY THE THE UH ENERGY SOURCE FOR ONE THING CAN BE ALTERED WHAT WE PROBABLY CANNOT ALTER IS OF COURSE THE INFRARED THE SENDING DEVICE BASICALLY THE INFRARED LAMP WE CANNOT CHANGE THE CHIP WHICH CONTROLS THE INFRARED LAMP RIGHT THESE TWO ARE COMPONENTS THAT WE HAVE TO USE AND THESE ARE DICTATED BY THE WHOLE FUNCTION OF THE WHOLE THING UM THE LAMP CAN BE PUT ONTO THE DESI THE DEVICE IT C IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THERE THIS CAN BE DISCUSSED AS WELL THE USER INTERFACE THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ALSO DISCUSS UM AS WE'VE HEARD UH SPEECH RECOGNITION IS THE HYPE OBVIOUSLY IN THE MOMENT SPEECH RECOGNITION UM INTERFACE WE DON'T KNOW THAT OR IF WE JUST DO THE USUAL BUTTON THING OR WE HAVE A TOUCH PAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS AND OF COURSE THE ENERGY SOURCE BATTERIES SOLAR CELLS WHO KNOWS OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS A QUESTION WHETHER THESE THESE COMPONENTS ARE IN FACT AVAILABLE CHEAP ENOUGH DEVELOPED ENOUGH BUT THAT'S LIKE I S I SUPPOSE RATHER UP TO MARKETING AND NOT TO SO WE COULD THE THE THE MORE COMPLEX WE MAKE IT OF COURSE THE MORE EXPENSIVE YEAH BUT PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD WELL YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY MORE FOR A SPEECH RECOGNITION REMOTE SO RIGHT I THINK SPEECH RECOGNITION WAS UH ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE UM THEY HAVE TO BE REALLY GOOD FOR THEM TO WORK 'CAUSE SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF JUST SAYING THINGS OVER AND O IF IT'S ON YOUR PHONE I AGREE AND YOU NEED TO SORT OF TAKE INTO LIGHT LANGUAGES AND THEN DIFFERENT DIALECTS I SUPPOSE AS WELL
