THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS OF A USER CAN USE PRODUCTS L LIKE A REMOTE UM THERE'S A GRAPHICAL USE WHERE YOU YOU LOOK AT PICTURES AND WELL ON A SCREEN A COMMAND LINE WHERE YOU OBVIOUSLY TYPE THINGS IN AND YOU GET A RESPONSE UM AND THEN IT JU THAT'S JUST TO POINT OUT THE SORT OF INCONSISTENT U SORT OF USE OF INTERFACE IN REMOTES 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 SO THEN I HAD A LOOK AT NEW PRODUCTS THAT ARE ON THE MARKET NOT NECESSARILY REMOTE CONTROLS BUT ONES THAT YOU'LL RECOGNISE UM THIS IS THE VOICE THERE IS A VOICE RECOGNITION REMOTE CONTROL WHICH CAN CONTROL MUS MULTIPLE DEVICES I HAVE A THERE IS A PICTURE YOU SURF YOUR FAVOURITE CHANNELS UH WITH YOUR VOICE STORE UP TO EIGHTY SPEECH SAMPLES CONTROLS FOUR DEVICES T. V. CABLE SATELLITE V. C. R. D. V. D. AND AUDIO AND YOU CAN RECORD YOUR OWN V VERBAL LABELS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS SO THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE 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 YOU CAN SORT OF JUST MAKE THOSE OUT AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS OBVIOUSLY AN IPOD WHICH IS YOU KNOW POSSIBLY ONE OF THE SIMPLEST THINGS TO USE OUT THERE AND REALLY IS AND ALL THAT IS IS JUST A A NICE BIG SCROLL MENU THAT Y YOU SORT OF GO THROUGH THAT IS A POSSIBILITY AND NOTHING'S SIMPLER REALLY UM THEN THERE'S THINGS LIKE THIS WHICH IS A A A KID'S REMOTE WHERE THE THE PARENTS HAVE THE FACILITY TO CONTROL AND PROGRAM WHAT CHILDREN CAN WATCH BEFORE SO THE REMOTE CONTROL IT O ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ACCESS THE CHANNELS THAT THEIR PARENTS WANT THEM TO WATCH AND UM IT MEANS THAT TH CHILDREN HAVE A NOVELTY OF HAVING THEIR OWN REMOTE CONTROL SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF HAVING ONE REMOTE CONTR YOU KNOW LIKE WE JUST HAD TWO COMPONENTS MAYBE IT CAN HAVE MORE COMPONENTS YOU KNOW DIFFERENT REMOTES 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 SOMETIMES AN ARROW POINTING DOWN WHICH MAY SUGGEST VOLUME DOWN COULD BECOME CONFUSED JUST AS A V. FOR VOLUME JUST LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE MADE CLEAR IN THE DESIGN UM I THINK D CARRYING ON FROM WHAT I'VE ALREADY SAID A USER FRIENDLY REMOTE WITH MINIMUM BUTTONS MAYBE WE'VE SO SUGGESTED THIS TWO PART THING WHERE IF IT WAS TO HAVE A SPEECH RECOGNITION THING YOU COULD MAYBE CONTROL THAT ON THE DO IT OR PROGRAM ALL THAT ON THE CONTROL BIT AND THEN JUST HAVE THE SIMPLE SORT OF HAND HELD THING THAT WE SORT OF DEVISED EARLIER AS THE ACTUAL REMOTE UM I DON'T 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 STUFF LIKE GETS MORE AND MORE COMPLI COMPLICATED AND THEN THE THE HAND HELD BIT SHOULD BE ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED AND THAT IS IT WHY AM I OH YEAH JUST WHERE ARE WE UH JUST TO SORT OF SHOW YOU M THEY'VE EVEN GOT THINGS LIKE THAT HUGE THINGS WHICH IS JUST FOR YOUR GR NINETY YEAR OLD GRANDMA YEAH THAT'S INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FOR CRANES STUFF LIKE THAT AND THAT YEAH ALSO GOOD FOR ANIMALS THINGS WHY'S MY SCREEN CRAZY WELL LET'S SEE I'M GOING TO BORE YOU WITH A COUPLE OF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INTERIOR 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 I'VE MORE INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE MATERIALS UM AS WELL WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO UM BUT LET'S JUST WAIT FOR THIS TO LOAD UP AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE OKAY THE DETAILS OF THE COMPONENTS' DESIGN AS YOU CAN SEE THERE WHAT WE HAVE IS THE BOARD MAIN BOARD OF THE REMOTE CONTROL THE UNDERSIDE THAT'S PRETTY CHEAP PIECE OF OF TECHNOLOGY REALLY 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 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 WHICH LATER ON IS BEING IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO A INFRARED LAMP WHICH THEN UM OF COURSE SHINES INFRARED LIGHT ONTO THE TELEVISION WHICH THEN WILL RECOGNISE WHAT SIGNAL UM IT'S GETTING AND WILL DO WHAT YOU TELL IT UM SO MUCH FOR THE THE WORKINGS OF THE OF THE UH REMOTE CONTROL ITSELF 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 WHEN YOU PRESS A KEY UM YOU COMPLETE A SPECIFIC CONNECTION THE CHIP SENSES THE CONNECTION AND KNOWS WHAT BUTTON YOU PRESSED IT PRODUCES A MORSE CODE LINE SIGNAL SPECIFIC TO THAT BUTTON RIGHT PRETTY CLEAR TRANSISTOR AMPLIFIES THE SIGNAL AND THEN SENDS THE M SENDS THE SIGNAL TO THE L. E. D. WHICH TRANSLATES THE SIGNAL INTO INFRARED LIGHT THE SENSOR IN THE T. V. CAN SEE THE INFRARED LIGHT AND SEEING THE SIGNAL REACTS APPROPRIATELY THIS IS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE OTHER SIDE UM THE LOWER PART OF IT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THAT PROPERLY WITH THE GREEN GREENISH BOARD IS IS WHAT WE WHAT WE SAW IN THE FIRST THE FIRST SLIDE JUST FLIPPED OVER UM YOU CAN SEE THE CIRCUIT BOARD ITSELF THAT'S THE CHEAPEST UH WAY TO MAKE ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS BASICALLY ON THE MARKET 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 THESE ARE THE ACTUAL KEYS THAT ARE BEING PRESSED THEY CLOSE THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT THAT THEN SENDS THE SIGNAL TO THE CHIP ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT WOULD BE BEHIND HERE UM WHICH UH SENDS IT OVER TO THE TRANSISTORS AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT AMPLIFY THE SIGNAL AND ALL THAT IS BEING SENT TO THE INFRARED LAMP UP THERE NOW AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE THE RUBBER BUTTON VERSION OF IT UM THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT YOU HAVE THE KEYS HERE THE RUBBER BUTTON HAS A LITTLE METAL UH PLATE ON THE OTHER SIDE WHICH CLOSES THE CIRCUIT HERE AND THUS GIVES ON THE SIGNAL NOW THIS IS THE SIMPLE VERSION UM WE ARE TALKING UM THIS THIS THE SIMPLE AND CHEAPEST VERSION AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE TALKING SOMETHING MORE COMPLICATED OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE AS WELL AND NOT ONLY THAT
