Extracted Content: Daren Breaux: Okay, is everybody ready?
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah?
  Luis Majure: Yeah I'd to just put on my microphone here and I'll be right with you.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Okay?
  Daren Breaux: Um I take it you all have received instructions as to what you were supposed to do
  Walter Oliphant: Mm?
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Daren Breaux: and um I think the Marketing Manager probably should go first, addressing the needs and desires.
  Luis Majure: Okay you want Luis Majure to start right now?
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Okay. Well, could you um put my slides up 'cause I think it might be helpful if uh we looked at the slides at the same time.
  Daren Breaux: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: You're participant four.
  Luis Majure: I'm participant four I believe. Yes uh-huh. 'Kay.
  Daren Breaux: Okay, and now I can uh full screen.
  Walter Oliphant: Open.
  Daren Breaux: Uh, okay, okay.
  Luis Majure: There we go. Okay well I think
  Walter Oliphant: And then full
  Luis Majure: we
  Walter Oliphant: screen
  Luis Majure: have introduced ourselves, so the functional requirements are is is part of my goal but why don't we pass right to the second slide. Cause that's where m my discussion starts. Right well um since I'm in charge of trying to figure out what we should put on this thing since I have to try to sell it.
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Um I thought that the method I should follow would be gather suggestions from everybody, and th the reason I just put that there like that is that uh in the init in the initial stage I think I should just be open to lots of suggestions. You know you can say anything you want no matter how silly it sounds you know it should run your car, it should heat up your motor if should um turn on your C_D_ whatever you want it
  Walter Oliphant: 'Kay.
  Luis Majure: to do um and then as we go on what we'll have to do is accept and eliminate these suggestions according to um design and budget feasibility. So I'll be coming to you um frequently as the Industrial Expert
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: to tell Luis Majure how hard it's gonna be
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: to add a feature or how expensive
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: it's gonna be
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: or if your time, if it takes five years
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm
  Luis Majure: to develop this
  Walter Oliphant: hmm.
  Luis Majure: it's just something we can't
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Luis Majure: do. So in the beginning just have a big puddle
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: of things that we anybody can th throw anything in and then just weed things out that can't be done for one reason or another, and then the things that seem the most attractive that to uh to a customer
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: we'll try to then prioritise those.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: So that was um what I meant there, and as I said on the slide there consulting the Industrial Engineer about that and the other thing is timing is really gonna be as important as money, because if we're gonna sell this thing, I think the best time to sell it is as a Christmas present. Twenty five Euros makes a nice little present, and we want it to be an impulse purchase, we
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Luis Majure: want somebody to see it and think it's, gee I just gotta have that. And take out their wallet and buy it. So it's gotta be really attractive and it but it's gotta go to market by September, 'cause anything that you don't already have out there in September showing it around, isn't
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: gonna sell for Christmas. Um and then I'll be coming to you as the User Interface person to try to tell Luis Majure from your point of view what are the most friendly features that we could put on it and try to prior help Luis Majure with that prioritising
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Luis Majure: of uh of the features and of the the look and the colour and I'll be coming back to you to help weed out those suggestions from that point of view.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Luis Majure: So I'll be coming to you for how much is it gonna cost us and how long is it gonna take
  Walter Oliphant: Mm
  Luis Majure: you,
  Walter Oliphant: mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: and I'll be coming to you to tell Luis Majure what's gonna make
  Thomas Cordon: What
  Luis Majure: somebody
  Thomas Cordon: features.
  Luis Majure: take out their wallet you know, what what's what's gonna really be what they call a sizzle, 'cause we gotta
  Thomas Cordon: S.
  Luis Majure: sell this sizzle.
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: A lot of times the thing that works the best from an engineering point of view isn't the thing that somebody's really just gonna take out their wallet and buy for Christmas for for their child or for
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: their husband or whatever. Okay can we go to the next slide please? Alright I I already did a little bit of research after our first meeting where we threw out some ideas and it looks to Luis Majure that within the budget that we're looking at the uh the whole house idea really isn't gonna be possible. So I'd like your suggestions to come back to the other slide where I was saying we we could suggest anything. I'd like the suggestions to be really specific, so that we'll have a list of things we can cross off, not something like you know whole house control what'll be And then I found on the internet from from my research that some extended electronic entertainment control should be possible. At the budget that we're looking at and at the price point we're looking at, we should be able to make it work the T_V_, the V_C_R_, the stereo set um maybe something else cute like a coffee pot or one other appliance
  Daren Breaux: Uh okay,
  Luis Majure: or maybe
  Daren Breaux: can
  Luis Majure: a lamp.
  Daren Breaux: can I
  Luis Majure: I
  Daren Breaux: at
  Luis Majure: have
  Daren Breaux: this
  Luis Majure: to wind
  Daren Breaux: point
  Luis Majure: up?
  Daren Breaux: interject um
  Luis Majure: Yeah, sure.
  Daren Breaux: something? Um we have received instruction from higher up that certain things should uh considered.
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: Um the one thing for example something to eliminate maybe that's the teletext, because that's sort of outdated
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: with the internet,
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: and according to to higher management the it should only control the T_V_, mostly because they feel that it's too comp complex a task
  Walter Oliphant: Complicated,
  Daren Breaux: to
  Walter Oliphant: yeah, of course.
  Daren Breaux: um to to include other things, and they are concerned with the time to market.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: Of course, yeah.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: Okay. Um
  Luis Majure: Okay, so that's
  Daren Breaux: and
  Luis Majure: something
  Daren Breaux: the and the third thing that they wanna make sure um that their that the corporate image is being maintained, and that the corporate colour and design are being used on the product, so that it's easy that that that they can be easily identified as a product of of of the company, and that there's no mistake that it
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: could be somebody else who is bringing this out. So I just wanted to interject this here so we're not getting too much off track here with uh with the things we wanna look at. These were instructions from higher up so we have to eliminate uh these things, so it's
  Luis Majure: Okay
  Daren Breaux: only
  Luis Majure: so
  Daren Breaux: gonna be T_V_, but the one thing maybe that could be um eliminated is the teletext uh idea.
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: Mm 'kay.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Luis Majure: Alright, thanks for that. Um alright now other things that I found out on in my research is that the complaints that people have about the remote controls that are out there now. 'Cause a lot of them take too much time to learn how to use, and that was thirty four percent but even more important the thing that we did address in our last meeting that frequently it's lost somewhere in the room. definitely do wanna address, uh we wanna s make it as simple as possible, we wanna make it um obvious and intuitive to use, and then the things about finding it we talked about the a light emitting thing as well as uh maybe a beep, and I think that those are things after my research that we definitely wanna try to incorporate. 'Kay can we go to the next slide please? Okay, so, my personal preferences in this um project are really have to concentrate on the sizzle. That is the selling point, the thing that's gonna make it an impulse purchase. Uh because once there's no be-back, well in sales they always say you know, be-backs don't come back. If somebody says, oh I'll come back and get it next week you're dead. They're never gonna come back and buy it. You've gotta make it attractive enough so they buy it now now now w now is a big word in in my book for selling this thing. And, in order to make it really sellable we've gotta shorten the learning curve, make sure it's really intuitive and easy to use. We have to have as few buttons as possible, because more buttons is more confusion, so that's why I'm saying, simplicity is good. Finding it's important, obviously you can't use it if you can't find it. So we've gotta concentrate on the features that help you find it, and I've already said this several times but I put it down in writing here, it should be an attractive impulse purchase at twenty five Euros. So it has to have enough value that when somebody looks at it they say, uh twenty five Euros I'm not gonna take that. Has to be so great that they're gonna say, uh twenty five Euros isn't much. Um and then maybe a motto, like we put fashion in electronics might be something we can use in our marketing campaign.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: Okay that's uh about it for Luis Majure right now.
  Daren Breaux: Okay. And uh who would be next, uh, I guess that would be you.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: 'kay.
  Daren Breaux: You want Luis Majure to get your
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Daren Breaux: slide show
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: up?
  Walter Oliphant: sure.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: Thank you.
  Daren Breaux: And you are number three?
  Walter Oliphant: Number two,
  Daren Breaux: Number
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: two.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah exactly.
  Daren Breaux: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: Uh can you
  Daren Breaux: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: make it uh full screen please?
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm. Yep.
  Walter Oliphant: No, it's like a well you you have to press here. cup shape here?
  Daren Breaux: Yeah yeah, uh-huh.
  Walter Oliphant: The thir third. Yeah
  Daren Breaux: There, mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: exactly. Uh so today I'm going to talk about the working design of the remote controller.
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: Um can you go to the next sli slide please?
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: The metal is like uh in a remote controller you have a chip integrated circuit which is like a brain of the remote controller. It takes the power from a battery say a battery it it can be a elec an electric supply like you have to uh like uh switch connec connect connect your remote controller to uh power supply from the you know electricity or something like that. It should be a battery because uh uh remote controller should be like you you you should take it t to wherever you want
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: and then um uh th this integrated circuitry takes energy from the power source and whatever like if you press a button it's like a input for the remote controller and it takes the input and it it transforms into a infro infrared bits and it sends it into the device, like a T_V_ or a air conditioner, something like that so. Uh a remote controller is specifically designed to a single device. If you want to design it for multiple devices then you should make all the devices compatible with the frequency like uh th the remote controller it sends some bits some uh waves like with a particular frequency the device should know what the frequency is. It should re re recognise the uh waves which are coming from the remote controller and it should take the action like if you press a button channel or something like that then uh the remote uh remote controller will send a send a se send
  Luis Majure: Signal.
  Walter Oliphant: a signal, and the T_V_ it should translate
  Thomas Cordon: Receive.
  Walter Oliphant: that into like change the channel or something
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: like that, change the volume control
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: and uh so uh I think it's hard to design a remote controller for multiple uh devices.
  Thomas Cordon: Multi-purpose.
  Luis Majure: Yeah well
  Daren Breaux: Yo
  Luis Majure: that's
  Daren Breaux: and
  Luis Majure: already
  Daren Breaux: it's
  Luis Majure: been eliminated
  Daren Breaux: yeah
  Luis Majure: by management,
  Walter Oliphant: Uh yeah.
  Daren Breaux: but
  Luis Majure: so
  Daren Breaux: it's so.
  Luis Majure: we're off the hook.
  Walter Oliphant: Um.
  Daren Breaux: Yep.
  Walter Oliphant: So uh user interface controls the chip and accordingly the messages like there should be a user user in interface like you know switch pad or something like that buttons should be there. So uh you can control whatever you want, you want to change the channel you want to control the volume you you want to uh mute uh mute the uh T_V_ or you want to have a child lock or you want to do some operations there's a there should be some device to tell what to do to the uh in uh integrated circuit so that
  Luis Majure: Mm
  Walter Oliphant: the
  Luis Majure: okay.
  Walter Oliphant: integrated circuit can s send the signals and T_V_ can perform the actions. So can you go to the next
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: slide please? So I I just would like to uh add some extra features to the remote controller
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: um I think these are the very simple features and uh they don't take much uh uh much of the um um investment also, it's like el the text or buttons which uh which are there on the uh remote controller they those we can make uh um like fluorescent
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: uh they'll be like light emitting if it is dark so that you can find your remote controller if it is dark. And ther there should be a beep if many buttons are pressed if suppose a child is playing with the remote controller and a and she she or he is pressing the buttons all at the time then there should be a beep saying that it's this this is not a a you know a a action, there can be no action taking to that so. And there should be a child lock, like uh uh you should be able to lock your remote controller so that uh um whatever buttons are pressed by a child they can't be like y you i you if you have ki kids and all then they'll be pl playing with the remote controllers so can lock the remote controller. If make it useable for more than one device it's a it's hard but I
  Daren Breaux: Yeah
  Walter Oliphant: think
  Daren Breaux: well
  Walter Oliphant: it's possible
  Daren Breaux: yeah
  Luis Majure: Well
  Daren Breaux: well
  Walter Oliphant: but
  Daren Breaux: that
  Luis Majure: we already
  Daren Breaux: has
  Walter Oliphant: it
  Daren Breaux: been e
  Walter Oliphant: uh yeah
  Daren Breaux: that
  Luis Majure: eliminated
  Daren Breaux: has
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: been eliminated,
  Thomas Cordon: Eliminated.
  Luis Majure: that.
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: so that's
  Walter Oliphant: so
  Daren Breaux: that's
  Walter Oliphant: it's it's
  Daren Breaux: unfortunately
  Walter Oliphant: okay, yeah,
  Daren Breaux: a moot point
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: now. Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: And uh different shapes that we can do like uh we can have you know a all animals shapes or you know comfortable uh whi which can fit into your hands and um
  Luis Majure: Now
  Walter Oliphant: so
  Luis Majure: that's
  Walter Oliphant: that
  Luis Majure: good
  Walter Oliphant: uh
  Luis Majure: from a marketing point of view, the
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: fun
  Walter Oliphant: yeah,
  Luis Majure: the fun
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Luis Majure: shape.
  Walter Oliphant: and colours also, different
  Daren Breaux: Yeah
  Luis Majure: And that
  Daren Breaux: I
  Thomas Cordon: Mm-hmm
  Walter Oliphant: colours,
  Luis Majure: you
  Thomas Cordon: colours.
  Luis Majure: you
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Luis Majure: say that won't add too much to the budget? To
  Walter Oliphant: No no
  Luis Majure: d
  Walter Oliphant: no, it
  Luis Majure: the shape
  Walter Oliphant: won't uh
  Luis Majure: is
  Walter Oliphant: I
  Luis Majure: uh
  Walter Oliphant: don't think it will be like, you can have you know for uh if you want
  Daren Breaux: It just
  Walter Oliphant: ther
  Daren Breaux: build
  Walter Oliphant: there
  Daren Breaux: a mould
  Walter Oliphant: to be more
  Daren Breaux: basically and
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Daren Breaux: uh
  Walter Oliphant: yeah. It's
  Daren Breaux: you
  Thomas Cordon: Yes
  Walter Oliphant: it's
  Daren Breaux: know.
  Walter Oliphant: just
  Thomas Cordon: exactly.
  Walter Oliphant: a s shape so it doesn't matter.
  Daren Breaux: As the budget we're looking at if you build one mould I don't think
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: that's going to make a big difference whether it's gonna be square or
  Luis Majure: Do you think there's any chance of um having ser in having basically the same machine with the same buttons but maybe several different shapes?
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah that is also
  Daren Breaux: Oh yes.
  Walter Oliphant: possible I
  Luis Majure: Is that
  Walter Oliphant: uh
  Luis Majure: gonna
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Luis Majure: be
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: a
  Walter Oliphant: I
  Luis Majure: possible?
  Walter Oliphant: I
  Luis Majure: 'Cause
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: that
  Daren Breaux: I
  Luis Majure: might
  Daren Breaux: think
  Luis Majure: help with the marketing.
  Daren Breaux: I think we will have to look
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah that
  Daren Breaux: at the
  Walter Oliphant: will
  Daren Breaux: budget
  Walter Oliphant: be
  Daren Breaux: on that but I think in principle that that would be that would be kind of fun,
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Luis Majure: Because
  Daren Breaux: you know.
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: we had something sort of sexy
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: for adults and
  Daren Breaux: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: we could have something sort of
  Daren Breaux: Silly for
  Luis Majure: silly
  Daren Breaux: children.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: for
  Walter Oliphant: for
  Luis Majure: children
  Walter Oliphant: children,
  Daren Breaux: Like
  Luis Majure: or a
  Daren Breaux: an
  Luis Majure: little
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: animal
  Walter Oliphant: exactly.
  Luis Majure: animal
  Thomas Cordon: Like
  Daren Breaux: or
  Luis Majure: shape
  Thomas Cordon: a doll,
  Luis Majure: or
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: in
  Walter Oliphant: that's
  Luis Majure: a
  Thomas Cordon: or
  Walter Oliphant: what,
  Daren Breaux: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: or a
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: little elephant so they can remember where it is.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah, exactly.
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah. And and If there are more buttons then it will be more complicated. If you have less features then your remote controller won't be attractive, so I think uh we need to make some buttons which are which are like um uh f in uh in intended for two or three operations, like if you press one button in one mode then it will change the channel, if you press the other button in another mode it will change the colour. So if you want to have less
  Luis Majure: Mm.
  Walter Oliphant: buttons we can have that option but I think it will complicate the matter more I think
  Luis Majure: Well,
  Walter Oliphant: so.
  Luis Majure: I think I think that that's something that we'll have to discuss um
  Walter Oliphant: Yep,
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: with the User
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: Interface person because I think there's a lot of argument to be made for one button for one feature. Because I think one of the things were complaining about in my what I found out in my research is when they complained about how hard it is to learn a new one.
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: The changing modes was something
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah, it's like you
  Luis Majure: I
  Walter Oliphant: know
  Luis Majure: mean you
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: and I, all f all four of us we work
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: with computers all
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: the time,
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: changing
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Luis Majure: modes is nothing for us, but people who
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, a little elderly, a little arthritic hand
  Luis Majure: N
  Daren Breaux: you
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: know,
  Luis Majure: and
  Daren Breaux: and and it's a small button and and
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: it they don't press it exactly you know something else happens n not their favourite channel comes up but something
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Daren Breaux: else
  Thomas Cordon: Something
  Walter Oliphant: yes.
  Daren Breaux: and they're
  Thomas Cordon: else.
  Daren Breaux: very
  Luis Majure: And
  Daren Breaux: frustrated
  Luis Majure: that's and that's
  Daren Breaux: you
  Luis Majure: the kind
  Daren Breaux: know.
  Luis Majure: of thing people learn by feel, and um
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah, yeah you don't
  Luis Majure: you don't
  Walter Oliphant: us
  Luis Majure: feel
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Luis Majure: the
  Walter Oliphant: yeah,
  Luis Majure: mode
  Walter Oliphant: usually.
  Luis Majure: change.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: So um maybe having buttons be various shapes might be a help
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Luis Majure: too.
  Walter Oliphant: shapes also, different
  Luis Majure: You
  Walter Oliphant: shapes.
  Luis Majure: know, like the
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Luis Majure: a
  Walter Oliphant: that
  Luis Majure: triangle
  Walter Oliphant: will
  Luis Majure: is for the
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: volume and a square is for changing channels,
  Thomas Cordon: Channels.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: so that people can
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: uh develop a tactile sense of it. But
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: we'll get
  Daren Breaux: Mm,
  Luis Majure: to that with you.
  Daren Breaux: mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: yeah, and
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Walter Oliphant: also text should be very clear so that there there won't be any ambiguities
  Luis Majure: That's
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Luis Majure: right,
  Walter Oliphant: uh
  Luis Majure: yeah. Now that's
  Walter Oliphant: So
  Luis Majure: a good point.
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Walter Oliphant: yeah. And uh display clock i if you want more features then we can display a clock it I I don't think it will take any money extra money because anyway we have an integrated circuit I think we can just definitely fit that feature into the circuit so
  Luis Majure: Yeah,
  Walter Oliphant: it's
  Luis Majure: that's that's a good that's a good
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm,
  Luis Majure: one,
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Thomas Cordon: Mm
  Luis Majure: because
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Thomas Cordon: yeah.
  Walter Oliphant: we display
  Daren Breaux: mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: the clock
  Walter Oliphant: a clock.
  Luis Majure: would be really friendly,
  Daren Breaux: Yes.
  Luis Majure: and and
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: when is your favourite show
  Daren Breaux: Yes.
  Luis Majure: coming
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: on
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Daren Breaux: Yeah
  Walter Oliphant: then you
  Daren Breaux: you're
  Walter Oliphant: can
  Daren Breaux: sitting
  Walter Oliphant: just
  Luis Majure: and
  Daren Breaux: there
  Walter Oliphant: see your
  Daren Breaux: already
  Walter Oliphant: remote
  Daren Breaux: or maybe
  Walter Oliphant: controller
  Daren Breaux: you have
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: no
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: other
  Walter Oliphant: yeah so
  Luis Majure: Yeah, and a lot
  Daren Breaux: uh
  Luis Majure: of time there's not a clock on the screen, and you have
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: to go somewhere but you just wanna look at the news for a minute. Yeah that's that's good, the clock is good.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: Uh can you go to the next
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: slide please? Uh components uh the main components we need for uh it ha like buttons and uh underneath that there should be switch. And uh bulbs. Like uh we can have a bulb like whenever we are operating a remote controller or uh whenever the T_V_ is on suppose,
  Thomas Cordon: Hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: then the remote controller should automatically have a b s light.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: Then it will be like if you switch on your T_V_ through anoth another source, not from through a remote remote controller and you you lost your remote controller maybe you can find with the light.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: Maybe we can have that. Whenever the T_V_ is on, remote controller will have a light.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: And then uh infrared bulbs.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: Um this is like uh when it is dark.
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: And battery, there should be a battery for power supply, and
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: a chip, chip which is like a brain to the remote
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: controller which does all the operations, and wires connecting all chips, which is uh lights, everything,
  Daren Breaux: Yeah.
  Walter Oliphant: so there should
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: be wires. And uh uh of course there should be a case where we can keep all the things and, you know different shapes or whatever it is there should be a case to put to give
  Thomas Cordon: To
  Walter Oliphant: a
  Thomas Cordon: keep
  Walter Oliphant: shape.
  Thomas Cordon: the remote?
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Thomas Cordon: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: Case.
  Thomas Cordon: A case holder.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Thomas Cordon: A holder
  Walter Oliphant: holder.
  Thomas Cordon: remote
  Daren Breaux: Holder,
  Thomas Cordon: holder.
  Daren Breaux: yeah, mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: Um uh can you move onto the next slide. Um next sli slide please. Um I have referred the site uh the homepage of the um our website, uh from where I have uh uh I got s few points.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: That's it, that's it from Luis Majure now.
  Daren Breaux: Okay.
  Luis Majure: So it um we should visit this site and have a look at uh what's
  Walter Oliphant: Um.
  Luis Majure: up there? Or
  Daren Breaux: Well, you don't have to.
  Walter Oliphant: Uh it's not like that, I have referred the page to get new ideas or like
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: what can be the working design to how it works and all and
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: so and so.
  Luis Majure: So it might be helpful if we had a look at that.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah if you want.
  Luis Majure: Okay,
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: thank
  Walter Oliphant: it's
  Luis Majure: you.
  Walter Oliphant: okay.
  Luis Majure: Could you go back to that slide where she had that uh s slide up Betsy?
  Walter Oliphant: Uh, it's actually there now, there on the screen.
  Daren Breaux: This one?
  Luis Majure: Yeah, okay, thank you.
  Daren Breaux: And Francine?
  Thomas Cordon: Participant two.
  Daren Breaux: You are
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Daren Breaux: number two?
  Thomas Cordon: No no, I'm three.
  Daren Breaux: You're three.
  Thomas Cordon: I can?
  Daren Breaux: Would you want it
  Thomas Cordon: Yes
  Daren Breaux: full full
  Thomas Cordon: yes
  Daren Breaux: screen? Mm-hmm?
  Thomas Cordon: yes.
  Daren Breaux: Okay.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay. As uh User Interface Designer I did a little research to find out what are the features which a user would like to have on their remote.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Yeah can you please go onto the next
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: slide? So I found out that uh but uh the main purpose of a remote is to uh f control the function of a television at a far off distance at remote distance. Now for that, uh a remote controller should have a switch on off button by which a user can sit anywhere in the room in front
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: of the T_V_ and he can control the functionalities different functionalities of the T_V_. There should be a signal uh something like a radio wave or a infrared light or a LED which can be used to change the different functionalities in the television if the user wants to uh change the channels or increase the volume he can change it.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Now there should be some timer to set for viewing a particular a particular programme or switching on and off a uh a particular programme according to the user
  Daren Breaux: On
  Thomas Cordon: choice.
  Daren Breaux: the on on the remote.
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Yes. So if if he want to view a particular programme
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: at say nine o'clock
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: he can set the time,
  Daren Breaux: Right.
  Thomas Cordon: and the T_V_ will automatically it will switch on at that particular time.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: So he can use that kind of uh uh properties of features and then there should be a child lock system if a particular channel is not to be
  Daren Breaux: Yes.
  Thomas Cordon: viewed by a particular uh for
  Daren Breaux: By
  Thomas Cordon: a
  Daren Breaux: your child,
  Thomas Cordon: certain
  Daren Breaux: mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: age, then the parents can lock that particular channel so that the ch children cannot view that
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: channel.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: And uh the uh the uh and the one of the feature a user would like to have is the compactness of the co remote.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Uh t the remote should be compact and it should ha it should have as many buttons as possible for controlling different functionalities of the T_V_ television. And um uh as uh uh this is my personal preference that it should be in the shape of a T_ in alphabet for more compactability.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: And uh and uh and it is one more point which I noted it down, like uh the material which which which is used for remotes should be human friendly it should not cause any skin disease or something some al allergy
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: to either children or to um
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: ad
  Luis Majure: Mm,
  Thomas Cordon: adult
  Luis Majure: 'kay.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: person. And it should have an uh it can have an alarm clock a a person if some if somebody wants to get up at around
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Thomas Cordon: eight eight P_M_ then he can set the time and it can be used as an alarm clock,
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: and I don't think it will cost much to set an alarm clock inside a
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Thomas Cordon: remote.
  Walter Oliphant: sure.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: If there is a clock then there can be a
  Luis Majure: And an
  Walter Oliphant: alarm
  Luis Majure: alarm
  Thomas Cordon: Yes,
  Luis Majure: clock,
  Walter Oliphant: clock.
  Luis Majure: yeah
  Thomas Cordon: and
  Luis Majure: that should
  Thomas Cordon: as
  Luis Majure: that should
  Thomas Cordon: John Reece
  Luis Majure: be okay.
  Thomas Cordon: said the buttons can be, uh can Luis Majure we can use the fluorescence to light up the buttons so different uh buttons will glow differently. So in even in the dark the user can know what buttons to use to switch on a particular channel. And uh uh the design of the uh um remote should be in such a way that there should not be any sharp projections so that if a child plays with a remote, he
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: uh he should not be harmed in any way. And findings, uh I found out uh y um on different sites that uh there are different remotes which can be used, there are remotes which use the infrared for controlling the different functionalities, there are remotes which use the radio waves to control the functions and there are uh So uh there you have different uh types of remotes for different light source which are used which can be used for controlling the different functionalities of a television.
  Thomas Cordon: Next slide. And these are my few personal preferences like it can be used for a multipurpose use. Not, uh no uh like it can it can be used as a T_V_ control as plus an alarm clock to set an alarm a timing and it should have a child lock, and then to save electricity uh there should not be uh much s move uh lots of circuits and all that. And if a person if if if parents wants the television to be switched off by ten o'clock then it should be switched off ten o at ten o'clock automatically, so that nobody else comes later
  Walter Oliphant: It's like
  Thomas Cordon: and
  Walter Oliphant: a
  Thomas Cordon: use it.
  Walter Oliphant: t okay, it's like a timer
  Daren Breaux: Timer, yeah,
  Thomas Cordon: Timer.
  Daren Breaux: mm-hmm,
  Walter Oliphant: it's
  Daren Breaux: mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: like a lock
  Thomas Cordon: Yeah
  Walter Oliphant: to
  Thomas Cordon: and
  Walter Oliphant: the television.
  Thomas Cordon: then you can use a timer as well. Yes. Yeah that's it.
  Daren Breaux: Uh okay, now I have
  Daren Breaux: On my slide show basically we already we have already done the agenda, and uh on the closing uh basically there will be lunch break and all that. However uh the decision we have to take in this meeting is who is our target group.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: And uh what function, working design, how how does it work. So these are the two things we should come up wit with. So uh the first thing is pro maybe a little easier on uh who is our target group. Um. I guess in many ways everybody. Everybody
  Walter Oliphant: Mm,
  Daren Breaux: who has a T_V_.
  Walter Oliphant: T_V_,
  Thomas Cordon: T_V_
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Thomas Cordon: television we was.
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, and I think today there are probably not many people who don't
  Walter Oliphant: Don't
  Daren Breaux: have a T_V_.
  Walter Oliphant: T_V_,
  Daren Breaux: There
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: are a few but in general not. Now, talking about the target group which is in a sense everybody, but I think within the target group we have subgroups. We have we have earlier it was mentioned about um for example elderly people
  Thomas Cordon: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: who have limited function with their fingers and hands,
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm.
  Daren Breaux: so I think that's uh one group that's certainly important. Um then we have just the nervous people who can never press a little button on anything um unless it's really very clear.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: And uh I don't know how much we want to cater to children's use. I mean that's a question um whether that's important that children can really use it or not.
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Daren Breaux: So this these are just some thoughts I have on it,
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: group we're gonna design this one thing
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: or whether we're looking at what we like we we talking about different shapes,
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: whether that different shape also includes maybe different uh buttons
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: uh for different groups.
  Luis Majure: Well you know there's the old motto, children under six never shop alone.
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Luis Majure: So if you've designed something that's very attractive to children um the mummy please mummy please um you know we want it now we wanna go to the store and see it um that has uh a lot of
  Daren Breaux: That has
  Luis Majure: marketing
  Daren Breaux: a lot of
  Luis Majure: pull.
  Daren Breaux: that has a lot of
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Daren Breaux: appeal but I think uh I'm I'm talking about the functionality now on it whether we're looking at different groups. I think the children issue can be addressed with the shape
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: and with colours.
  Luis Majure: That's
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Thomas Cordon: Different
  Luis Majure: right.
  Daren Breaux: You
  Thomas Cordon: colours.
  Daren Breaux: know, like you make it nice and pink, fluorescent, banana colour
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Daren Breaux: or whatever
  Luis Majure: You can make a banana
  Daren Breaux: you
  Luis Majure: shaped
  Daren Breaux: know
  Luis Majure: one.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: yeah, for example you know.
  Walter Oliphant: Mm.
  Daren Breaux: But the question is really, who is our target group.
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: Do we look at one target group? And with the twenty five Euros you know can we can we afford to have uh I'm asking the technical people here whether um to look at sort of subgroups with maybe different buttons for each group how much would that throw us out of the cost we are supposed to
  Luis Majure: Respect.
  Daren Breaux: respect?
  Luis Majure: Mm.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay. No uh generally we can we can design a remote which is mainly for people with uh f age from ten to um forty
  Daren Breaux: Right.
  Thomas Cordon: and and then we can add on uh specific functional buttons for children as well as the elderly people or the people wit
  Daren Breaux: With
  Thomas Cordon: with
  Daren Breaux: with
  Thomas Cordon: who have nervous problems,
  Daren Breaux: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: yes.
  Walter Oliphant: We can design different remotes for different people, like for aged people there will be big buttons and you
  Daren Breaux: Well
  Thomas Cordon: But
  Walter Oliphant: know.
  Thomas Cordon: in
  Daren Breaux: that's
  Thomas Cordon: a
  Daren Breaux: that's
  Thomas Cordon: family
  Walter Oliphant: yeah. Children and everybody, yeah.
  Thomas Cordon: They would like to buy just one and um just one which can be used all the three
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah
  Thomas Cordon: uh
  Walter Oliphant: of course that we can do, but specifically if y if like elderly people want big buttons then you can't really make a bi big remote controller so maybe specifically you can design a big con remote controller for elderly and for children,
  Luis Majure: What
  Walter Oliphant: like
  Luis Majure: about
  Walter Oliphant: in a
  Luis Majure: the
  Walter Oliphant: different
  Luis Majure: electronics?
  Walter Oliphant: you know.
  Luis Majure: That's
  Daren Breaux: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: not really gonna change
  Thomas Cordon: Cost effective.
  Luis Majure: much, is
  Walter Oliphant: No,
  Luis Majure: it?
  Walter Oliphant: it it doesn't cost,
  Luis Majure: That
  Daren Breaux: No
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: that w that won't change much, will it
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Luis Majure: uh?
  Walter Oliphant: Doesn't doesn't
  Daren Breaux: The
  Luis Majure: I d I
  Walter Oliphant: doesn't
  Daren Breaux: the
  Luis Majure: wouldn't
  Daren Breaux: quest
  Walter Oliphant: matter.
  Luis Majure: think
  Daren Breaux: the
  Luis Majure: so.
  Daren Breaux: question to be addressed here is only who is the target group and how will it function,
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: and I think the how will it function is probably the question of the buttons you know,
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: within the target group or subgroups. The question is only whether our budget will allow to have more than one design in a sense.
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: I mean the basic design I understand will be the same, but the question is how much will that set us back if let's say uh forty percent we make large buttons and the rest
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: we make regular buttons
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: for example.
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: So that remains to s to be seen but uh the target group as a whole is is basically everybody with a T_V_.
  Luis Majure: That's right,
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: and can we can we is it even feasible to make one one remote control with something for everyone, or would we have to use the same electronics and make three different shapes?
  Daren Breaux: Yeah, well that's that's
  Luis Majure: Um
  Daren Breaux: the question.
  Luis Majure: the same electronics and basically all that's gonna be different
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm
  Luis Majure: is the plastic case.
  Walter Oliphant: hmm.
  Luis Majure: And in that case we could probabl moulded plastic isn't all that expensive is it? Um you
  Walter Oliphant: Uh no.
  Luis Majure: as an
  Walter Oliphant: Mm,
  Luis Majure: industrial
  Walter Oliphant: I I
  Luis Majure: person?
  Walter Oliphant: I don't think no.
  Daren Breaux: Well maybe there's
  Walter Oliphant: It's
  Daren Breaux: there's an idea
  Walter Oliphant: not.
  Daren Breaux: you know t the new for example new portable phones?
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: They have like removable plastic cases,
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: so you can have a striped one or you can have a fluorescent blue one, or whatever,
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: and maybe something like that, that in each package you know you have
  Luis Majure: Well there's a real
  Daren Breaux: you
  Luis Majure: idea
  Daren Breaux: you
  Luis Majure: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: have you have for example uh you have let's say a fluorescent blue on it
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: but then you have uh another colour or stripe whatever that already comes in a package.
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm.
  Daren Breaux: And
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: then if people really want more colours they can buy it separately.
  Luis Majure: Right.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah, like
  Daren Breaux: You
  Walter Oliphant: for
  Daren Breaux: know,
  Thomas Cordon: Um
  Walter Oliphant: mobile phones we
  Daren Breaux: yes.
  Walter Oliphant: have uh different you know covers,
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: like
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Walter Oliphant: designs
  Daren Breaux: That's right,
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Daren Breaux: and
  Walter Oliphant: all
  Daren Breaux: but
  Walter Oliphant: so that
  Daren Breaux: like
  Walter Oliphant: w
  Daren Breaux: if
  Walter Oliphant: we can
  Luis Majure: Uh
  Daren Breaux: if
  Walter Oliphant: have
  Luis Majure: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: then
  Walter Oliphant: that.
  Daren Breaux: everybody is is is tired of the fluorescent blue and of the striped or whatever they have as another one in the package, then they can go to the store and for a few uh
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: Francs or Euros whatever they can buy
  Luis Majure: An alternate package.
  Daren Breaux: an alternate package with another two colours in it you know for example
  Luis Majure: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: you
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: know.
  Thomas Cordon: But uh yeah I I have a doubt like will it be cost wise effective if we if we design a remote having all the uh different features for different people or designing three different um remotes for three different categories of people.
  Daren Breaux: Well I think
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah, but
  Daren Breaux: I
  Luis Majure: Well
  Walter Oliphant: uh
  Daren Breaux: think
  Luis Majure: I think
  Daren Breaux: the
  Luis Majure: we
  Daren Breaux: idea
  Luis Majure: can only
  Daren Breaux: here is
  Luis Majure: aff,
  Daren Breaux: to uh to to
  Luis Majure: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: d design one remote
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah.
  Daren Breaux: and what the only change is gonna be um the funct
  Luis Majure: Cosmetic.
  Daren Breaux: d t yeah
  Thomas Cordon: Of th
  Daren Breaux: uh
  Thomas Cordon: okay.
  Daren Breaux: the functional functional cosmetics if you
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: want to put it that way,
  Thomas Cordon: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: um having maybe larger buttons or buttons that light up or buttons that are slightly differently shaped for people uh either for children um Five minutes that was I guess tha that's the old message.
  Luis Majure: Warning, finish
  Daren Breaux: Finish
  Luis Majure: meeting
  Daren Breaux: meeting
  Luis Majure: now.
  Daren Breaux: now. Um um.
  Luis Majure: Well we may have to come back to one or
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Luis Majure: two of these
  Walter Oliphant: maybe,
  Luis Majure: points
  Walter Oliphant: yeah,
  Luis Majure: at our next meeting but
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Luis Majure: um
  Daren Breaux: But I think
  Walter Oliphant: If we do some more research,
  Daren Breaux: I
  Walter Oliphant: maybe
  Daren Breaux: I think
  Walter Oliphant: we.
  Daren Breaux: to sum it up the target group is basically everybody. If money permits we can address some features for some subgroups
  Luis Majure: Mm-hmm.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay,
  Daren Breaux: within that.
  Walter Oliphant: Hmm
  Thomas Cordon: mm-hmm.
  Walter Oliphant: yeah,
  Luis Majure: Okay
  Walter Oliphant: I
  Luis Majure: but
  Daren Breaux: Do
  Walter Oliphant: think
  Daren Breaux: we
  Luis Majure: we have
  Daren Breaux: agree,
  Luis Majure: to
  Walter Oliphant: maybe
  Luis Majure: l
  Walter Oliphant: seventy
  Daren Breaux: do we?
  Walter Oliphant: percent is a unique uh uh remote
  Daren Breaux: Do we
  Walter Oliphant: controller
  Daren Breaux: agree
  Walter Oliphant: and
  Daren Breaux: on
  Walter Oliphant: thirty percent
  Daren Breaux: on that
  Walter Oliphant: is
  Daren Breaux: in
  Walter Oliphant: yeah
  Daren Breaux: principle,
  Walter Oliphant: it's sort of
  Daren Breaux: like
  Walter Oliphant: like yeah.
  Daren Breaux: money will tell whether
  Walter Oliphant: Yeah,
  Daren Breaux: we will
  Walter Oliphant: yeah,
  Daren Breaux: be able
  Walter Oliphant: of
  Daren Breaux: to
  Walter Oliphant: course,
  Daren Breaux: do that
  Walter Oliphant: yeah.
  Daren Breaux: or not.
  Luis Majure: Okay,
  Thomas Cordon: Yes.
  Luis Majure: fair
  Daren Breaux: Okay?
  Luis Majure: enough.
  Walter Oliphant: Mm-hmm.
  Daren Breaux: So now I understand it's lunch break. And um. So that's what we will do.
  Luis Majure: Okay.
  Thomas Cordon: Okay.
  Daren Breaux: So hank you very much.
  Walter Oliphant: Thank you.
  Daren Breaux: And we'll see you after lunch.
Updated Content: The meeting begins and Luis Majure starts her presentation promptly, telling them that her research shows they need a focus- it is not possible to make a device that works on the whole house. Daren Breaux steps in and informs them that they have instructions to eliminate the teletext idea because it is too complicated, and also said they must maintain the corporate image by using corporate designs and colors. Luis Majure resumes, talking about how remotes often get lost and that a light emitter might be useful. Walter Oliphant gives her presentation, talking about components, materials, and energy sources. They discuss giving the control different shapes to suit both adults and children, making the buttons various shapes, and putting a display clock on the control. The interface designer presents, talking about the features users like on a remote and suggesting that they make the remote a T-shape and add an alarm clock function. They discuss their target group and the possibility of removable plastic cases. They close the meeting deciding to do more research on the plastic cases.
