Since this product didn't have much complex design, it was designed to be easy to use with a very simple structure. Hence, they all agreed that it was easy to use. As for the fancy part, the product was a banana shape, the fruit design was very up to date and fashionable. For the same reason that it resembled a banana, users would find it easily when they needed to use the remote control. What's more, it had lightning, making it more visible in daily life. The product was surrounded by rubber, enabling it under protection, so the robust feature can be ensured.

It turned out that the cost was very reasonable and the price was also very attractive. Then, the team evaluated the product by scoring according to criteria based on the user's requirements and marketing trends. The meeting went very well and every team member agreed with each other on the evaluation results, which was promising to lead a success in this project.

Marketing presented the user requirements. The market research results were from 100 people. It frustrated users most when they failed to find the lost remote control. The market research also revealed a necessity to simplify the remote control interface, for users would not take time mastering the remote control. Most buttons were thus unused, and teletext was outdated now. Besides, Marketing expressed a negative view on the incorporation of voice recognition.

The market research indicated that between the age of 15 and 25, most people would be willing to pay extra fees for voice recognition. However, Marketing pointed out that such a result barely implied users' expectation for a fancy and unique remote control. There were several problems with the existing voice recognition software, such as the limitation on word number and inaccurate recognition results due to regional accents. In conclusion, Marketing considered the incorporation of voice recognition to be unfeasible.

User Interface and Industrial Designer agreed on the intuitive interface design with menu navigation on an LCD screen.

A separate joystick would be for additional functionality. The new remote control would be the integration of original remote controls for different devices. Voice recognition was unfeasible due to the budget limit. A speaker and a transmitter were desirable, however, for the location function.

Project Manager was concerned about the power required and the cost. The robust voice recognition service embedded on the computer was exemplified by Project Manager to indicate that such software would drag and dictate, but would also require a lot of memory. Moreover, Project Manager admitted that voice recognition was fancy yet unfeasible within the budget.

Project Manager appreciated the idea of a joystick. An LCD menu screen on the joystick would consume quite low power. A fair amount of information could be read on the screen display. Other functionality would be associated inside the menu by traversing around. Project Manager agreed with User Interface that buttons could only be used for default functions such as volume adjusting and channel flipping once there was a functional joystick.

So shall we keep the same uh Question: Why did Marketing disagree with kinetic energy as a solution proposed by Industrial Designer? Answer:

For one thing, Marketing argued that target customers as the elder generation tended not to shake their remote controls before using. For another, he believed that the docking station was in a position to load up the batteries, therefore, the basic normal battery would be sufficient for the charging need, which was confirmed by User Interface who pointed out that remote control with a minor display would in no way be power-consuming.

Marketing first brought up price concern, implying that voice recognition could significantly drive up cost and price. Also, Marketing argued that unlike the LCD screen, the elderly would not fancy speech recognition because it would not make the remote control more user-friendly. Project Manager applauded Marketing's opinion and agreed that the LCD screen should be given priority over voice recognition.

Firstly, the group reached a consensus that material should be plastic with wooden colour as opposed to wood. Then, User Interface brought forward a changeable case as a solution and was unanimously accepted. After that, the group discussed the shape of the control and chose single-curved for the time being. Finally, they drew out a specific case design and roughly determined the position of each button while taking the convenience of left-handed users into account.

As Marketing explained, a single remote control would be designed to fit into an original wooden cover as well as a standard plastic one, in order to meet the differentiated needs of the customers. As a result, besides remote control, two types of cases would also be sold as extra products.

Firstly, despite the convenience of left-handed users, symmetrical button design would create extra buttons and hence inevitably confuse users. Also, Project Manager pointed out that left-handed users have no difficulty handling the remote control by either side of hands. User Interface added that a thumb was sufficient for this motion, so no difference should exist between left and right.

The whole meeting was focused on the conceptual design of the new remote control product. After Project Manager briefly reaffirmed the agreements reached in previous meetings, Marketing, User Interface, and Industrial Designer each gave a presentation about trend-watching, interface design, and components design respectively. Then, Project Manager started a group discussion about important points just covered, including energy source, voice recognition, LCD screen, as well as case design, on which more emphasis was paid in the last half of the meeting. Finally, the group roughly drew out a specific case design.

At first, the cost of remote control was eighteen and a half which highly surpassed the company's budget. Group had to change the design and lose functions so that the budget could fill the company's standard. Under this circumstance, the new design changed shape and lost functions such as scroll and microphone until the cost was twelve fifty. In addition, remote control changed to a single curve shape and battery without a solar cell made of rubber material.

This is the fourth meeting. Project Manager began a detailed design meeting with Industrial Designer and User Interface's overall design presentation. Industrial Designer and User Interface introduced the remote control was green with a light-blue screen of LCD, scroll and microphone function and the RR logo. Marketing put up a questionnaire so group members discussed and evaluated remote design. The final average score was two. Then the group calculated production cost. After calculation, the production cost was eighteen fifty and surpassed the company's budget. So the design was changed and functions such as scroll and microphone were lost to satisfy the budget. The group evaluated the project and gave some suggestions about the whole process.

Marketing summarized the market research results and revealed that fifty percent users only use ten percent of the buttons. So the team proposed to reduce buttons to a minimum. Marketing believed that speech recognition could also contribute to this regard. User Interface showed a user-centred remote control and an engineering-centred one and preferred the user-centred one as it had fewer buttons and was easier to hold.

This is the second meeting of the design group. Project Manager went through the notes of the last meeting and informed the team of the management's requirements. They expected the remote control to cover television only and asked the team to incorporate the company logo and colours. As the team is looking at extreme simplicity, the buttons should be reduced to the absolute minimum. Voice recognition can also be added to reach this point. In addition, the remote control can be powered by a rechargeable or permanent battery.

Answer:

This is the first Real Reaction's development meeting for the new remote control. The team members got acquainted with each other and Project Manager introduced the financial target. Each product would be priced at 25 Euros and a 50% profit is made, aiming at making an overall profit of 50 million Euros. In terms of style and design, the remote control should be stylish to stay competitive. Also, it should be made dependable and of medium size and the user interface can be made into face-plates. The material should be plastic as it is the lightest. To market the remote control, the project team can launch parallel marketing schemes to fit both customers who value the remote control's appearance and those who value its practicability. To market interchangeable fronts, the team can either get control in a set of colours or with face-plates.

The first presentation was about users' functional requirements. Marketing mentioned that 80% of people like fancy appeal remote and younger people prefer voice recognition. The second presentation was about technical functions. User Interface suggested that as a communication tool, the remote should be practical and ergonomically designed. The third presentation was about working design. Industrial Designer introduced four main components, like a battery to make it work, the chip to convert the data, the user that's controlling the chip, and the infra-red bulb that moves the data to the receiver.

Marketing was asking what RSI was when mentioning the user needs to be easy to use. User Interface answered that it was repetitive strain injury. So Marketing denied this function because it did not match people's operating behaviour and users wanted a remote control with fewer buttons which would be easy to learn. Just like the audio setting was not given as much importance and visibility on the remote as something like channel changing that's used a lot more often.

When Industrial Designer demonstrated two different remote controls, Project Manager thought neither of them was pretty. Mentioning about the cool look about the functional design, Industrial Designer suggested taking consideration of the cool appeal into the selling point of fashion remote because there was a market for cool looking technology and ergonomic design.

Okay, three presentations, um you can go in any order you choose um. Marketing: <unk>gap<unk> Mm shall we go in the order that you just did it? Project Manager: Sure, please do. Marketing: I dunno. How do I hook my screen up? Industrial Designer: I think, you might have to disconnect Rose. Project Manager: Yes I do. Yeah. User Interface: Well there's a wee a wee plug just just that one there Marketing: Where does it go? Mm-hmm. Hmm Question: What did the group think of the infra-red functionality when discussing general requirements? Answer:

Project Manager mentioned that they should emphasize on making the infra-red more functional. Industrial Designer thought the chip took the data and presented it without sort of scattering and the quality of all the components really mattered. Then Project Manager mentioned the target group and voice recognition was not necessary. Group mates agreed on it and mentioned that it was high-tech and expensive.

The whole meeting was the initial meeting of a new remote control project. Firstly, Project Manager introduced the scope and agenda of the project, and the team got acquainted with each other and technical devices. Then Project Manager made clear that remote control would be priced at 25 Euros and a production cost of 12.5 Euros, in order to achieve a profit aim of 50 million Euros. After an accident, Marketing suggested that remote control should be made multipurpose and the consensus was reached on this point. Finally, the group brainstormed some other functions for the remote control despite a potential increase in production cost.

Answer:

According to the Project Manager, the group had gone far beyond the budget, so they had to cut down something on the current conceptual remote design. The first idea they came up with was to reduce the number of the buttons. The Industrial Design proposed to use an integrating button to replace the scattered ones, but inevitably, this also had some defects. The User Interface focused on the material and he put forward to choose a cheaper material like wood or plastics. Paying attention to the energy consumption, the Marketing suggested using a hand dynamo to save the cost of batteries.

Answer:

When discussing how to control their budget, the Industrial Design put forward to use an integrating joystick or a scroll-wheel push-button like the mouse to reduce the number of the buttons on the remote control. It did sound great for that it allowed users to function the remote control by manipulating only one button as well as saved the cost for the group. However, according to the User Interface, actually it could cost even five times to design and produce an integrating button than just produce several scattered buttons, so this might not be a feasible suggestion.

Fortunately, according to the User Interface, there were actually hard plastics with attractive color, that was also why he insisted on the plastics as the material.

Answer:

As to have a clear idea about what they had already got, the Project Manager proposed to evaluate finished work first. Then through the review, they found the problem that the joystick might not function as well as they thought before. In addition, in order to keep it innovative, the group decided to add some unique things like fruit logos or make it in a three-D shape. According to the User Interface, they should put the electronics into fashions so the material also needed some discussion. Plastics and rubber were both fine to them for that they were not easy to be destroyed and favored by most youths. After all the discussions, the Marketing offered a questionnaire for them to check whether they made the right decisions.

Marketing: No. User Interface: Yeah, b but <unk>disfmarker<unk> Marketing Question: What did the Project Manager think of the questionnaire when discussing it to ascertain whether they were on the right track? Answer:

When discussing whether they were on the right track after so many changes in their design, the Marketing offered a questionnaire for the group to check if they did the right thing. The questionnaire included both positive issues and negative ones, and by ticking all the questions on it, the group received a mark to evaluate their work as well as compare themselves to their counterparts. To the Project Manager's satisfaction, the score eventually showed that they made the right decision and exceeded some others.

The meeting began with the harsh budget problem that the group had to cut down something of the current conceptual remote control, otherwise they would be unable to handle the cost. They talked about reducing the buttons, integrating functions, or using cheaper materials. After the discussion, the Marketing offered a questionnaire for the group to check if they were on the right track. Through the questionnaire, they found that it would be better if they paid more attention to the external design so the Industrial Design embellished the current design on the color and logo. As the last thing left to the meeting, the group reviewed their cooperation and got a general plan of their coming group presentation.

The group discussed the current state of their work, which was coming close to a conclusion. They were putting together their final model, including the various techniques they had explored. Their performance on the Aurora tasks was second and very close to those in first place. The professor thought that further tweaking and incorporation of a neural network would improve their scores. The team discussed which method to use for noise suppression, which had not been decided yet. They also delved into a more detailed discussion of the VAD and latency. Their method for noise estimation would add a notable delay to the model. Finally, the team delved further into how to finish up the model.

Marketing: Question: Summarize the discussion about presentations about ideas on the remote control. Answer:

Marketing gave a presentation in the first place based on research and came up with ideas like what their remote control should look like, buttons design, whether the new product should have LCD screens. Marketing also suggested that there could be any chances that remote control could know users' preference channels, and there would be a beep when they couldn't find control. Then User Interface delivered a speech mainly on the size of buttons and remote control, and agreed to find remote control easier and increase its durability. At last, Industrial Designer did an analysis on what Marketing and User Interface said before and claimed that there still needed a lot to know but integration of materials meant less cost for the production and they should make up a different Morse code when some button was pressed.

Marketing: Um Question: What did the market feedback about common remote controls said by Marketing? Answer:

Marketing found that seventy five percent of the users thought most remote controls ugly, and most people found it irritating when they couldn't find their remote control. And another thing Marketing found important was that users had a feeling for speech recognition so that they could choose channels by voice. And they wanted maybe an LCD screen to search what's on every channel.

Marketing Question: Why did Industrial Designer not agree to what Marketing and User Interface said before? Answer:

First Industrial Designer raised questions like whether their remote control would be universal and should it be programmable or not, because they needed something like a mode to send out a different signal so that the remote can work in this way. Then the size of the remote was also put by Industrial Designer since there were already plenty of technical parts in it and it was quite complex to deal with material problems. But at last Industrial Designer came up with the idea of integration of materials and in this way, the new product would cost less.

User Interface: Go ahead Question: Summarize the discussion about the new requirements for the functional design of their new product. Answer:

At first Project Manager limited remote control's appealing population to younger people less than 40 years, which meant their remote control should be trendy. And also corporate color and slogan should be recognizable on the remote control, which contributed to the idea of whether there should be a replaceable cover.

Marketing Question: What did Project Manager and Industrial Designer discuss about making an universal remote control? Answer:

Their remote control could be purchased in a situation when users' old remote had broken, so a universal remote control could be a must. Project Manager put forward this idea but did not know if there would be any chance to accomplish it easily, and Industrial Designer it would be possible but still needed some research.

The team discussed their sizes, big or small, and places, up, center, or down, and also their arrangements, vertical or horizontal, and reached a conclusion that the power button could be on top. They came up with mute button as well but Project Manager didn't think it was important.

Question: What did the team think of a rechargeable remote when discussing remote control's functional design and production cost? Answer:

Industrial Designer raised an idea of making a rechargeable remote control which could have a wire and could charge itself when it was put in the electricity. Project Manager also had some responsive sparkles but they could hardly be applied. But at least one thing the team all agreed to was that a rechargeable remote was a comfort and people could pay for comfort.

Except uncertain problems such as LCD screen and speech recognition thing influenced by financial information, there would be many chances to have important buttons on top and bigger, different functional menus to adjust TV things, and very important idea of have replaceable covers, which could be designed to different colors meeting younger generation's demands.

Marketing: Um there was a little problem Question: Summarize the whole meeting. Answer:

In this meeting, the team first gave presentations about their ideas most about remote control's functional design based on research and knowledge they had already known. And then Project Manager delivered new requirements for the look, functions, and some others about the remote control. Later on the team brainstormed about many functional designs—where to put buttons and how much size they should be, the necessity of beep and flash, the design of covers, and the choice of LCD screen and rechargeable batteries—of the remote control based on new requirements, researches, current technology and production price. Finally they decided about the remote's button design and had an optimistic attitude towards rechargeable things but there still needed more market research when they gave a sketch of the new product.

The prototype was a pretty simple design in a mango shape with the company logo on it and an on-off button. The color of the prototype was vanilla and yellow like and the material was a combination of rubber and plastic with a company logo. Moreover, there was a circular design for the numbers so it could be palm-held, accessible from the user' thumb. Besides, a plus button was added on the device so the channels could be switched easily without any confusion.For instance, one plus two it could go to channel twelve. But this function was challenged by Industrial Designer who argued that it was not snappy since the five-second pause input time was enough for switching to the double-digit channel. After all, the team agreed that it was overall, a good design, well representing the company's identity.

The team agreed that the prototype had a fancy look-and-feels once they did not choose the traditional ugly black and grey color but incorporated the company's color. Although, there were only push buttons and no LED display, the incorporation of the kinetic energy, making the device more durable and rubber material made it technologically innovative. Moreover, the team thought the device was easy to use and good looking but Project Manager suggested that the company logo could be smaller. Besides, the device's simplistic made it stand out and customers were willing to pay a little more for that and its good appearance. Last but not least, the device could match the operating behavior of the average user and the alarming function, a light would vibrate, added value to the device.

Firstly, using kinetic was quite a large expense at three Euros. Secondly, in terms of the material used on the device, the team decided to use a combination of rubber and plastic to cut costs with one color for the case and one color for the buttons. Moreover, the push button interface was inexpensive so the team agreed to add a special form for the case. Lastly, ssthe team did not choose joystick, LED display or advanced chips, they were able to make the budget under control.

Firstly, User Interface introduced the prototype of remote control based on the previous discussion of its function. The prototype was a pretty simple design in a mango shape with the company logo on it and innovative functions like the plus button. Secondly, Marketing designed an evaluation test under the guidance of both the conceptual as well as functional meetings and the team gave one to seven points to each feature of the product to see if the prototype would meet the original requirements and goals. Thirdly, the team calculated the cost of the prototype and found that the most expensive part was the use of kinetic. But the team decided to use regular chips and cheap materials, which made the budget under control. Lastly, the team gave positive feedback on the project and the process.
