Extracted Content: Bernard Cianflone: Okay.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: Everybody ready?
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  William Hardy: I think so.
  Bernard Cianflone: Uh I think the first do is introduce ourselves
  William Hardy: Yeah that's a
  Bernard Cianflone: and
  William Hardy: plan
  Bernard Cianflone: everybody's name and what your function is? So maybe we start
  Nathan Clark: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: with you?
  Nathan Clark: Yeah, my name is Francina. And an user interface my role is uh the main responsibility is user interface.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Nathan Clark: And my role is to design uh a television remote control.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm. Okay.
  William Hardy: And I'm a marketing person. I wanna figure out how to sell them.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm. And your name is?
  William Hardy: My name is Eileen.
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah. Uh I'm Jeanne-Oui. Um role industrial designer and my responsibilities are uh uh um deal with the technical-functional designs and specifications of user interface and dealing with user interface design.
  Bernard Cianflone: Very good. And as you already know I am Betty. I am Bernard Cianflone for today. So why don't we look at the presentation to see what we really are supposed to do.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: Um. Yes y opening, acquaintance, tool training well, I think, already I guess the tool is really our the computer,
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: as far as I can see. Uh we get ins each of us will get instructions and we'll take it from there. Project plan, that falls under the same heading pretty much. Um, I don't think we have any great discussion at this point.
  William Hardy: No.
  Bernard Cianflone: Um. Here is what this thing should be. This thing we are gonna um uh design is a new remote control. Uh should be original,
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: trendy, and, of course, user friendly. So maybe you wanna make some notes of that.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay?
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: All right. Here is what the functional design is supposed to achieve. Um. That is it's gonna be individual work and then at the meeting we'll discuss what uh we have come up with. The same goes for the conceptual design, there will be individual work whic and then discussion afterwards. Detailed design,
  William Hardy: Mm 'kay so
  Bernard Cianflone: same thing basically.
  William Hardy: Three different types of design that we're gonna be concerned with
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  William Hardy: okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  William Hardy: Functional, conception and detailed.
  Bernard Cianflone: I can't write with this thing.
  William Hardy: Maybe we should redesign it.
  Bernard Cianflone: Yes.
  William Hardy: After we've finished the remote control we'll get to that.
  Bernard Cianflone: Yeah, okay. All right? Then, tool training try out the white board, participant can draw their favourite animal. Does anybody want to go and see how the white board works? So that in case we have to, in the next meeting, present something on the white board. You wanna go Eileen and
  William Hardy: Okay, I'll see what I can do.
  Bernard Cianflone: Whether you without hanging yourself.
  William Hardy: See if I remember how to draw a kitty cat or a rabbit or something.
  Bernard Cianflone: And remember you have to press so it works.
  William Hardy: So that it will record
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  William Hardy: okay. Um uh um traditional kitty cat.
  Bernard Cianflone: Fat, a fat cat.
  William Hardy: I've a very fat cat. And it likes to sit like that.
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: And you're Francine,
  Nathan Clark: Yes,
  Bernard Cianflone: right?
  Nathan Clark: I'm
  Bernard Cianflone: Would you
  Nathan Clark: Francina.
  Bernard Cianflone: like s like just to see
  Nathan Clark: Yes,
  Bernard Cianflone: um
  Nathan Clark: sure.
  Bernard Cianflone: how it feels, so that you have a little idea?
  William Hardy: Am I supposed
  Bernard Cianflone: In
  William Hardy: to wipe off that or
  Bernard Cianflone: No, no. No, that's okay.
  Nathan Clark: No, Okay.
  William Hardy: okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: I don't know, we'll get to that later.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Nathan Clark: What should I draw?
  Dwayne Haywood: Snake.
  Nathan Clark: I'm going to draw a snake. How does it look like?
  William Hardy: Uh, okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay. Okay.
  William Hardy: I hope the kitty cat is hungry 'cause I don't like snakes.
  Bernard Cianflone: Here's the project finance uh which, of course, we all have to think about when we design this thing. Um selling price is supposed to be twenty five Euro. Uh
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: profit aim for the company is fifty million Euro, the market range unlimited meaning international
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: and the production cost should not exceed hopefully should be less than twelve fifty Euro.
  William Hardy: Mm 'kay that should keep everybody on their toes and challenged.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  William Hardy: Profit. Um
  Bernard Cianflone: So
  William Hardy: is
  Bernard Cianflone: these
  William Hardy: fifty
  Bernard Cianflone: are all things, of course,
  William Hardy: mm.
  Bernard Cianflone: to remember with the budget and when you design to materials, cost, etcetera. Now, uh the
  William Hardy: Oops.
  Bernard Cianflone: discussion I guess is um does anyone of you have experience with remote control?
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: I
  Dwayne Haywood: of
  Bernard Cianflone: exp
  Dwayne Haywood: course,
  Bernard Cianflone: I
  Dwayne Haywood: using
  Bernard Cianflone: s
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: 'cause
  Dwayne Haywood: remote
  Bernard Cianflone: we we
  Dwayne Haywood: control.
  Bernard Cianflone: use 'em we use
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: 'em, right, everyday. And um now having used a remote control for years does anybody already have like an idea like things you didn't like with it, things you would like to change, things you would like to improve with this thing ye any first ideas? Would you like it to be smaller,
  Dwayne Haywood: Uh.
  Bernard Cianflone: bigger,
  Nathan Clark: Yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: have
  Nathan Clark: I
  Bernard Cianflone: more have more buttons on it or maybe clearly better marked buttons, you know, things
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: like that?
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Nathan Clark: Yes, I I feel that all the remote should be very compact.
  Bernard Cianflone: Small, right.
  Nathan Clark: Yeah those,
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Nathan Clark: which we get here nowadays it's very long.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Nathan Clark: And um and it should have multi-purpose. Like uh the remote control which we use for T_V_, it shou uh it should be used f uh for some other purpose also, like controlling the
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Nathan Clark: uh
  Dwayne Haywood: Audio
  Nathan Clark: temperature
  Dwayne Haywood: player.
  Nathan Clark: inside
  Dwayne Haywood: Oh.
  Nathan Clark: the house or
  Dwayne Haywood: Okay.
  Nathan Clark: for air-conditioners, or for heating system.
  Bernard Cianflone: So it should be a multi-functional
  Nathan Clark: Yes,
  Bernard Cianflone: uh
  Nathan Clark: exactly
  Bernard Cianflone: gadget that
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: would
  Dwayne Haywood: Hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: um control all your household uh
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: uh
  Dwayne Haywood: Divides
  Bernard Cianflone: machines
  Dwayne Haywood: us
  Bernard Cianflone: basically.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Nathan Clark: Yeah. Exactly.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  William Hardy: At um twelve fifty Euros per
  Bernard Cianflone: Well.
  William Hardy: Well who knows if we get a really good designer maybe we
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  William Hardy: can do that. We certainly can try to I agree with her that to market something successfully it should do some more things.
  Bernard Cianflone: It should be something new it should be s it it should do something different than than just what
  William Hardy: That's
  Bernard Cianflone: we have.
  William Hardy: right.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: Now,
  Nathan Clark: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: of
  Dwayne Haywood: of
  Bernard Cianflone: course,
  Dwayne Haywood: course.
  Bernard Cianflone: the other thing to think there is maybe the design.
  Nathan Clark: Yeah, design should be, yeah it should be different. All the almost all
  Bernard Cianflone: Like
  Nathan Clark: the
  Bernard Cianflone: trendy no like
  Nathan Clark: remotes
  Bernard Cianflone: f for earlier we saw maybe it should be something trendy you know.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah
  Nathan Clark: Yes,
  Dwayne Haywood: maybe,
  Nathan Clark: exactly.
  Bernard Cianflone: Maybe
  Dwayne Haywood: ten
  Bernard Cianflone: it should
  Dwayne Haywood: I
  Bernard Cianflone: different colours
  Dwayne Haywood: do yeah, colours
  Bernard Cianflone: or materials
  Nathan Clark: Are
  Dwayne Haywood: and
  Nathan Clark: different
  Dwayne Haywood: al shapes
  Nathan Clark: shapes.
  Dwayne Haywood: also.
  Bernard Cianflone: or
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: you
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: know. Um so yeah shapes right, you know, like kidney shape feels
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: better in your hand or something,
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah of
  Bernard Cianflone: you
  William Hardy: Yeah
  Bernard Cianflone: know.
  Dwayne Haywood: course
  William Hardy: okay,
  Dwayne Haywood: yeah.
  William Hardy: friendly shape,
  Bernard Cianflone: Yeah.
  William Hardy: that would help. I think another thing that would help is
  Bernard Cianflone: Yes.
  William Hardy: um if it beeps when you clap, because I think one of the big things that happens is people lose them. They can't find it.
  Bernard Cianflone: That is true, because they put a newspaper or they put it behind
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: a plant or, we you know, whatever.
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: And and they suddenly the phone rings and they want to turn the T_V_ off and they say, where the hell is my my remote control yeah?
  William Hardy: So
  Bernard Cianflone: Well
  William Hardy: some
  Bernard Cianflone: or yeah or if it's really, if it's really in a dark spot that it gives out a a sound
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, some
  Bernard Cianflone: or a signal.
  Dwayne Haywood: beep
  William Hardy: Uh so,
  Dwayne Haywood: or something
  Nathan Clark: Or a
  Bernard Cianflone: Yeah.
  Nathan Clark: b
  Dwayne Haywood: like that,
  William Hardy: so
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Dwayne Haywood: so
  William Hardy: it's
  Dwayne Haywood: that
  William Hardy: really
  Dwayne Haywood: we can
  William Hardy: the
  Dwayne Haywood: go
  Bernard Cianflone: So
  William Hardy: beep
  Bernard Cianflone: if
  William Hardy: or,
  Bernard Cianflone: lost
  William Hardy: or a light should blink.
  Bernard Cianflone: If lost
  Nathan Clark: Should
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Nathan Clark: ha
  Bernard Cianflone: uh
  Nathan Clark: A
  Bernard Cianflone: signal
  Nathan Clark: fluorescent
  Bernard Cianflone: with
  Nathan Clark: signal,
  Bernard Cianflone: b
  Nathan Clark: yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: throw
  William Hardy: Mm
  Bernard Cianflone: signal,
  William Hardy: 'kay.
  Bernard Cianflone: you know.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, maybe it should have a light so that we can, we can just recognise where it is.
  Bernard Cianflone: Exactly,
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: I mean just
  Dwayne Haywood: May not
  Bernard Cianflone: that's
  Dwayne Haywood: be
  Bernard Cianflone: what
  Dwayne Haywood: beep.
  Bernard Cianflone: I'm saying. I'm just saying throw signal meaning just whether it's a beep
  Dwayne Haywood: Beep
  Bernard Cianflone: or whether
  Dwayne Haywood: or uh it's
  Bernard Cianflone: a
  Dwayne Haywood: a
  Bernard Cianflone: light
  Dwayne Haywood: light,
  Bernard Cianflone: or
  Dwayne Haywood: maybe
  William Hardy: And do
  Dwayne Haywood: it's
  William Hardy: you think
  Dwayne Haywood: a light.
  William Hardy: a good c c um clue for that is that it would respond to a clap or it would respond to your voice or it would respond what what should you have to do to make it beep or blink?
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay, my my idea is maybe that the minute it's really hidden, in in other words if it's like in a dark spot,
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: uh meaning you know like a newspaper is on top, a sweater is on top or
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: it it's behind a plant, at that moment it's it's like, it's like um, what you call it a light s sensors, you know?
  William Hardy: Okay so
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  William Hardy: Okay.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, probably
  Bernard Cianflone: I mean, that we can
  Dwayne Haywood: yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: discuss
  Dwayne Haywood: probably
  Bernard Cianflone: that
  Dwayne Haywood: it's
  Bernard Cianflone: later,
  Dwayne Haywood: a yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: you know.
  Dwayne Haywood: yeah.
  Nathan Clark: Yeah. And uh
  William Hardy: So the light sensor would activate the signal.
  Bernard Cianflone: That's right.
  Dwayne Haywood: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: You know there would be right you have to have some kind of sensor and I I think uh voice or clapping it's not specific enough. Uh I know there are the lamps and stuff, you know, you
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: can clap on and
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: off, but I think they only work to certain degree and
  William Hardy: But it could be someplace really obvious and you still wouldn't be able to find it.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: What
  Dwayne Haywood: of course,
  Bernard Cianflone: with
  Dwayne Haywood: that didn't
  William Hardy: Well,
  Nathan Clark: Then,
  William Hardy: because
  Nathan Clark: in that
  William Hardy: you're s
  Nathan Clark: case
  William Hardy: because
  Dwayne Haywood: I i
  William Hardy: you're
  Dwayne Haywood: we
  William Hardy: silly.
  Dwayne Haywood: can't do
  William Hardy: Because
  Dwayne Haywood: it.
  William Hardy: people are silly.
  Bernard Cianflone: Oh yeah well, but then
  William Hardy: I mean
  Bernard Cianflone: those
  William Hardy: it could
  Bernard Cianflone: people
  William Hardy: be on
  Bernard Cianflone: we can't help everybody.
  William Hardy: well, i if it were like on top of your bookcase and you usually kept it on the coffee table um, you know,
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay
  William Hardy: well
  Bernard Cianflone: we have
  William Hardy: maybe we
  Bernard Cianflone: uh
  William Hardy: have to move along,
  Bernard Cianflone: yeah,
  William Hardy: okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: we have to move along, but I think we have some good
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah,
  Bernard Cianflone: good points
  Dwayne Haywood: good point.
  Bernard Cianflone: to start with here. Okay, the next meeting will be in thirty minutes. I think you all did you get uh notices on your computer
  Dwayne Haywood: William Hardy
  Bernard Cianflone: for
  Dwayne Haywood: yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: this? Okay so well, you got the notice
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  Bernard Cianflone: um uh. The working design, I guess that's the function I_D_ uh who is this? Dwayne Haywood
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: That's you.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, it's functional de yeah, exactly,
  Bernard Cianflone: Okay.
  Dwayne Haywood: technical.
  Bernard Cianflone: So, we looking for a working design when
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: we come back.
  Dwayne Haywood: Uh working design, yeah, it's it's uh mainly
  Bernard Cianflone: Then
  Dwayne Haywood: technical-functional design.
  Bernard Cianflone: And then the technical funct you are the technical
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, functional
  Bernard Cianflone: function, so
  Dwayne Haywood: design, and you
  Bernard Cianflone: so you are the working design. So you
  Nathan Clark: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: have a working design and then a functional design. And the marketing manager is coming up with some user requirement specification, like friendliness, and what we just discussed in general. That would be your idea. And, of course, price. That it, that it, that the price is a good price.
  William Hardy: Mm-hmm.
  Bernard Cianflone: I mean, the price is given, but, that was
  William Hardy: We have to justify that
  Bernard Cianflone: That's
  William Hardy: price
  Bernard Cianflone: right.
  William Hardy: by having sufficient features to make it sell at that price.
  Bernard Cianflone: That's right. And, you know, specifi you you will get specific um instructions for that. I think that's the end of the show. Yeah. So um we have well, we have a twen two two two three minutes. Um any questions at this point? Or uh suggestions?
  William Hardy: Mm.
  Bernard Cianflone: I think basically basically you will get instructions to work with and
  Nathan Clark: Okay.
  Bernard Cianflone: if you have any questions
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah.
  Bernard Cianflone: uh, uh I guess, you can uh
  William Hardy: Okay, I think I have enough to think about 'til our next meeting.
  Bernard Cianflone: Mm-hmm.
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah, even
  William Hardy: How about
  Dwayne Haywood: I have.
  William Hardy: you people?
  Dwayne Haywood: Yeah,
  Nathan Clark: Yes.
  William Hardy: Really?
  Dwayne Haywood: even I have,

Updated Content: The meeting opens with the group doing introductions by giving their name and role. Betty is Bernard Cianflone, Francina is the user interface specialist, Eileen is William Hardy, and Jeanne is Dwayne Haywood. Bernard Cianflone tells them they will be designing a new remote control that should be original, trendy, and user-friendly. They will be concerned with functional, conceptional, and detailed design. To try out the whiteboard, each group member draws her favorite animal on the board. They discuss the project budget and then talk about their experiences with remote controls. They seemed to agree that the remote should be compact and have a multi-purpose functions. They also agree that it should do something different that current controls cannot do and that it should be made of different colors, materials, and shapes. They also discuss a way of helping people find the remote when it is lost- a signal, whether it is a beep or light. Then they close the meeting with Bernard Cianflone going over the tasks they are to complete and telling them they will meet again in about thirty minutes.
