Extracted Content: Dustin Henry: Hmm.
  Joseph Huffman: Good morning everybody.
  Manuel Fisher: Good morning.
  William Baker: Good morning.
  Dustin Henry: Good morning.
  Joseph Huffman: So we are asked to to make uh uh a new remote control for television. And the characteristics of this new remote control should be original and trendy and of course user user friendly. So people can can use it without any any problem.
  Joseph Huffman: I don't know.
  Manuel Fisher: Well I, think we should set the the points to to drive the project and uh
  Dustin Henry: B did you send us an email about this?
  Joseph Huffman: Uh, not yet, but
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Joseph Huffman: if you
  Dustin Henry: we
  Joseph Huffman: want
  Dustin Henry: we received an email about this uh d designs.
  Joseph Huffman: Do you want do you want William Baker to send you a mail?
  Dustin Henry: Ah it's
  Joseph Huffman: Or
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  William Baker: Or you can put it in the shared folder.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah, you see the email? You email. The v very no, no the
  William Baker: No, I didn't get it.
  Dustin Henry: first one. It's inside.
  Joseph Huffman: Uh
  William Baker: This one.
  Dustin Henry: No,
  William Baker: No.
  Dustin Henry: no. The third one. Oh, you didn't get anything.
  William Baker: No,
  Dustin Henry: It's strange. Mm. got an email about the dis about the discussion Yeah.
  Joseph Huffman: You get email,
  Dustin Henry: I dunno from who.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah, from the account manager.
  Dustin Henry: From the account manager. You have received the same email, right?
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: I think it's for your guys to how to design it all the aspects so you need
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: that information.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah, I think so.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah, so each of us has a role to do.
  William Baker: Yeah
  Joseph Huffman: S
  William Baker: I think
  Dustin Henry: In each
  William Baker: assign your uh roles.
  Dustin Henry: We already have
  Joseph Huffman: each
  Dustin Henry: our role.
  Joseph Huffman: for each
  William Baker: For
  Joseph Huffman: one.
  William Baker: each person, yeah.
  Dustin Henry: 'Kay, we can
  Joseph Huffman: So there are so we
  Dustin Henry: So
  Joseph Huffman: have
  Dustin Henry: there
  Joseph Huffman: three
  Dustin Henry: are three kinds of designs,
  Joseph Huffman: f yeah.
  Dustin Henry: that's
  Joseph Huffman: We have
  Dustin Henry: all.
  Joseph Huffman: functional design, conceptual design, and
  Dustin Henry: Okay,
  Joseph Huffman: detail design.
  Dustin Henry: alright.
  Joseph Huffman: So, who will be the the responsible for the functional design? Any any volunteer?
  Manuel Fisher: I think our uh responsibilities will be assigned when we in our mail we received
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Manuel Fisher: from the account manager.
  Dustin Henry: yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: Uh
  Dustin Henry: I'm doing the interface.
  Joseph Huffman: You are doing th.
  Manuel Fisher: No, I'm doing the interface.
  Dustin Henry: Are you using the you are doing
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah
  Dustin Henry: the in
  Manuel Fisher: I I'm I'm Well, maybe we have okay so I industrial design.
  Dustin Henry: Ah
  Manuel Fisher: but it's alright.
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  Joseph Huffman: Okay, I'll for industrial design.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Joseph Huffman: Okay. And and you Norman?
  Dustin Henry: Mm? Um working on i.
  Manuel Fisher: User.
  Dustin Henry: User interface.
  Joseph Huffman: And
  Joseph Huffman: And
  William Baker: Uh, I'm into marketing.
  Joseph Huffman: doing the marketing.
  William Baker: yeah nothing much in the project.
  Joseph Huffman: Nothing related here to the
  William Baker: Marketing in this design. A design
  Dustin Henry: Yes.
  William Baker: is basically for industrial design and the user interface.
  Dustin Henry: You see the second mail? Yeah, it's inside. Go down. Appendix.
  William Baker: this is.
  Dustin Henry: See there's a role for everybody.
  William Baker: Yeah, that's right, first.
  Dustin Henry: Even for the marketing.
  William Baker: us user define.
  Joseph Huffman: Next.
  Dustin Henry: But look at your role, your marketing role.
  William Baker: There's a trend watching.
  Joseph Huffman: I don't
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Joseph Huffman: know.
  Dustin Henry: that's your role.
  Joseph Huffman: I.
  Manuel Fisher: Well, I think we can have a little discussion about what has to be done and what are your ideas
  Joseph Huffman: About the
  Manuel Fisher: about
  Joseph Huffman: design
  Manuel Fisher: the
  Joseph Huffman: or Maybe we'll discuss this later, no?
  Manuel Fisher: Well, w we want to have a new re remote control for for T_V_ distribution I guess.
  Joseph Huffman: Mm-hmm.
  Manuel Fisher: So we have to plan how how it would
  William Baker: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: be
  Dustin Henry: Mm.
  Manuel Fisher: developed and uh how we can make it work.
  Dustin Henry: Yes.
  William Baker: I mean working remotes we already have. This will be something different from the other remotes remote controls.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah,
  Joseph Huffman: What
  Manuel Fisher: I
  Joseph Huffman: we
  Manuel Fisher: dunno I
  Joseph Huffman: we have to keep in mind the these characteristics. And of course it should not be very costly.
  William Baker: Yeah, that's right.
  Joseph Huffman: So
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Mm-hmm.
  Manuel Fisher: Well I I think that Norman and I would think about um the technical points and um we should discuss it in the next meeting, or
  Dustin Henry: Need to collect information.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Joseph Huffman: About the about what?
  Dustin Henry: Um. I I'm part of design, perhaps. Uh, what is most important in a in a remote control? What is the most important function aspect? Uh.
  Joseph Huffman: You mean the external or
  Manuel Fisher: Well, you have to make it work. That's
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah of g of
  Dustin Henry: That's
  Joseph Huffman: course.
  Dustin Henry: alright.
  Manuel Fisher: the that's the big
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Manuel Fisher: thing.
  Dustin Henry: it should be easy to work with.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: We can think about an interface with uh well
  Dustin Henry: Uh. We maybe you can have a speech uh recognition interface. You just tell the television I want which channel. Or
  Joseph Huffman: You won't
  Dustin Henry: or you can say for example, um I want uh to list all the programme tonight. Y you know, instead of uh remote control it's doing the some searching for you, so you don't have to look for the channel you want. Just say maybe I just want to press I wanna have a button for all the movies tonight. Or a button for all the magazines, all the information documentary tonight. And then you list a few, and I will choose from the list. So instead of pressing the channel number, I am choosing the programmes directly.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah,
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Manuel Fisher: yeah.
  Dustin Henry: that's one way of uh making it useful.
  Joseph Huffman: I I think if we include a lot of technology on the remote
  Dustin Henry: No,
  Joseph Huffman: control
  Dustin Henry: because
  Joseph Huffman: it will be very costly.
  Dustin Henry: no, it's not very
  Joseph Huffman: S
  Dustin Henry: a lot. Th this information exists. For example you can get um
  Joseph Huffman: Like s uh you you you say we can use speech.
  Dustin Henry: You can use uh well for example anything. The the idea of using speech to reduce the button, but uh and it's
  Manuel Fisher: I
  Dustin Henry: more natural.
  Manuel Fisher: I think if you want
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: t to choose uh from a list
  William Baker: I'm a
  Manuel Fisher: of programme
  William Baker: okay.
  Manuel Fisher: or or
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: something like that
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: you you may have to to use uh w uh I dunno
  William Baker: I mean the main uh function of remote control is to have something in the hand and
  Joseph Huffman: In the
  William Baker: we
  Joseph Huffman: hand.
  William Baker: should be very careful about the size of the remote control.
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  William Baker: If we are going to add a speech interface,
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: I'm not sure with trendy slim size of the remote control
  Dustin Henry: Yes,
  William Baker: it would be
  Dustin Henry: possible.
  William Baker: able to put a speech recog if you want to put a speech recognition system f interface for that I think the T_V_ itself could have it.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: But
  William Baker: And I could talk to the T_V_ television itself.
  Joseph Huffman: Except
  William Baker: I need
  Joseph Huffman: if
  William Baker: not have
  Joseph Huffman: if
  William Baker: an
  Joseph Huffman: you are far from the T_V_.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: I mean we have
  Joseph Huffman: This
  William Baker: some or something,
  Joseph Huffman: is
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  William Baker: different technology
  Dustin Henry: yeah.
  William Baker: but
  Dustin Henry: But
  Joseph Huffman: it's
  Dustin Henry: 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
  Manuel Fisher: On the content.
  Dustin Henry: pr or the or the contain
  William Baker: Mm-hmm,
  Dustin Henry: or the
  William Baker: yeah.
  Dustin Henry: contents of the programme.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah, yeah
  Dustin Henry: So it's
  Manuel Fisher: it's
  Joseph Huffman: Mm-hmm.
  Dustin Henry: more
  Manuel Fisher: it's
  Dustin Henry: powerful.
  Manuel Fisher: a good idea it's a good idea but
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: I I think that technically it would be um a little bit uh
  Dustin Henry: No.
  Manuel Fisher: uh more tricky to to achieve this than
  Dustin Henry: No, because
  Manuel Fisher: just
  Dustin Henry: you see
  Manuel Fisher: to
  Dustin Henry: now all the T_V_ programmes are available on the webs. They they are they are they are available in X_M_L_ format or whatever the format. We don't care. We just say that this are some content. We just want to retrieve the content and then classi sort them by the types of programmes. Some
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah
  Dustin Henry: of
  Manuel Fisher: yeah.
  Dustin Henry: the websites they already provide this service, so we can just use the service available. Download it uh to the to this remote control. And then there's
  Joseph Huffman: Mm.
  Dustin Henry: there are only six buttons for six categories, or sev seven. The most there are only seven buttons. So I just choose the category one and you reuse the same button, for example to to choose among the the sorted list the programme you want, so you don't have to choose among hundred channels, if you have hundred channels, you just have six buttons, seven buttons.
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah we should also optimise the the number of
  Manuel Fisher: Well
  Dustin Henry: Yeah,
  Manuel Fisher: I
  Joseph Huffman: buttons.
  Manuel Fisher: I I I
  Dustin Henry: yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: think that j
  Joseph Huffman: This is
  Manuel Fisher: just
  Joseph Huffman: good
  Manuel Fisher: by
  Joseph Huffman: idea.
  Manuel Fisher: using navigation buttons and the user interface on the screen
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: we are able to uh navigate uh through the
  Dustin Henry: Ah, yes. So.
  Manuel Fisher: Well channel programme or contents or
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: in an easy way,
  Dustin Henry: Yeah, so you don't
  Manuel Fisher: so
  Dustin Henry: have to display here, just display on the T_V_ screen,
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah
  Dustin Henry: right?
  Manuel Fisher: in
  Dustin Henry: Good
  Manuel Fisher: the dis
  Dustin Henry: idea.
  Manuel Fisher: display on the T_V_ screen and just
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  Manuel Fisher: uh with the with your remote control would just navigate through the f
  Dustin Henry: I think I think that will be revol revolutionary. Because all the T_V_ uh the the remote control have all numbers, lots of buttons and then you dunno what to choose in the end.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah, yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  Manuel Fisher: So
  Dustin Henry: Alright.
  Manuel Fisher: I think for for the technical points we have to to to check how to gather the data from programme or contents and all this
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  Manuel Fisher: stuff
  Joseph Huffman: So we have five minutes to
  Dustin Henry: Ah w w we have sometimes to use the white-board.
  Joseph Huffman: Ah you can y you can you
  Dustin Henry: Five
  Joseph Huffman: can
  Dustin Henry: minutes.
  Joseph Huffman: use it if you
  William Baker: And
  Joseph Huffman: so,
  William Baker: another interesting
  Joseph Huffman: can we
  William Baker: idea for this would be to have an light adaptation system depending
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  William Baker: upon the picture of
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  William Baker: So, I mean, if you're watching a movie and suddenly there is a dark uh
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: some dark scene, the
  Dustin Henry: Yeah.
  William Baker: lights
  Joseph Huffman: S
  William Baker: adapt themself. The lighting in the room changes.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah, but we are designing
  Joseph Huffman: You it.
  Dustin Henry: just remote control.
  William Baker: I mean, we have a option in the remote control. If we want to have that option, you
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  William Baker: press that button
  Manuel Fisher: Oh
  William Baker: in the remote.
  Manuel Fisher: right
  Dustin Henry: Okay,
  Manuel Fisher: so
  Dustin Henry: do you want to have a conceptual remote control there, or you just want to put the function
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: in?
  Joseph Huffman: If if you you you can if you want you can
  Manuel Fisher: Please,
  Joseph Huffman: use
  Manuel Fisher: Norman, draw
  Joseph Huffman: th
  Manuel Fisher: uh
  Joseph Huffman: the.
  Dustin Henry: Go on, draw something.
  William Baker: Oh,
  Dustin Henry: Mm.
  William Baker: I'm afraid you forgot to put your lapel.
  Dustin Henry: Where is it?
  William Baker: The lapel.
  Joseph Huffman: Or before
  Dustin Henry: Ah, okay.
  Joseph Huffman: the before the the design that says.
  Dustin Henry: Where where is it? Here.
  William Baker: Yeah, that one. Just plug
  Joseph Huffman: Norman.
  William Baker: it. Yeah, that's
  Dustin Henry: Mm.
  William Baker: right.
  Joseph Huffman: Be before before writing you can uh
  Dustin Henry: Mm.
  Joseph Huffman: sit and that says what we what we said then after that you can
  Dustin Henry: Okay, alright.
  Joseph Huffman: you can use the.
  Dustin Henry: So
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: so the most functional des mm the most important function is to ch choo buttons to choose the content. Right?
  Manuel Fisher: Okay.
  Dustin Henry: Uh,
  Joseph Huffman: Okay.
  Dustin Henry: uh first one is to uh buttons i or it could be anything with
  Joseph Huffman: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: buttons. Uh to choose uh content s or channels. So we have both. The user can choose w which one they want,
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah,
  Dustin Henry: right?
  Manuel Fisher: by content or by channel, it's
  Dustin Henry: By
  Manuel Fisher: a good
  Dustin Henry: content
  Manuel Fisher: idea.
  Dustin Henry: or by channel. Choose by contents or by channels. So And then what did we say just now? Other than this.
  Manuel Fisher: And
  Joseph Huffman: Mm.
  Manuel Fisher: uh we we have to find a way how to gather information about the contents.
  Dustin Henry: Okay, so technically how the problems that how to do it is to how to get the content.
  Manuel Fisher: Yeah.
  Dustin Henry: Challenge.
  Manuel Fisher: I think i it's not very difficult to to browse by channel but it's a little bit tricky to browse by contents so
  Dustin Henry: Okay. Content. Okay, so these we have to work it out. So this one of the problem. And uh
  Manuel Fisher: I think that's the the
  Dustin Henry: The main
  Manuel Fisher: things
  Dustin Henry: thing.
  Manuel Fisher: to do and uh to
  Dustin Henry: Okay.
  Manuel Fisher: uh
  Dustin Henry: Alright.
  Manuel Fisher: reflect about it and uh
  Dustin Henry: Alright, okay. So
  Manuel Fisher: discuss
  Dustin Henry: we are
  Manuel Fisher: it
  Dustin Henry: we'll
  Manuel Fisher: in the next meeting.
  Dustin Henry: discuss it we will get some information in the next meeting, so for now we get uh the funct this is the functional designer? That's the first aspect. Right. We will get information and then we'll come back in.
  Manuel Fisher: Okay. Thank you everybody.
  Joseph Huffman: Okay.
  Dustin Henry: Yeah, we'll come.
  Joseph Huffman: So maybe we'll meet in maybe five minutes? And
  Dustin Henry: Alright.
  Joseph Huffman: we'll discuss the other
  Dustin Henry: Alright, okay.
  Joseph Huffman: other aspects.
  Manuel Fisher: Okay.
  Dustin Henry: Thank you,
  Joseph Huffman: Okay.
  Dustin Henry: mis
  Joseph Huffman: Well thank you all.
Updated Content: Joseph Huffman introduced the project to the group. The group set an agenda for the meeting and discussed the materials sent to them by the Account Manager. They discussed and explained their roles in the project. The group began a discussion about their initial ideas for the product. They discussed several usability features: adding speech recognition and an option to choose what to watch by channel or by content, reducing the number of buttons by using the television screen to display options, and adding a light adaptation system. All participants were instructed to gather more information for the next meeting, the functional design meeting.
