Extracted Content: Freda Ward: Hello.
  Stella Farrington: Hey guys.
  Megan Paul: Hi.
  Rita Oliver: Hi.
  Freda Ward: Hi.
  Megan Paul: I see my bunny is still standing
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: No. one drawing
  Freda Ward: It's
  Megan Paul: it.
  Freda Ward: too beautiful.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: Uh
  Rita Oliver: true.
  Megan Paul: I figured uh that much.
  Stella Farrington: Too wicked.
  Rita Oliver: Mm.
  Freda Ward: A minute please, my uh laptop is uh oh, there it is, thank you.
  Freda Ward: So welcome back. At the functional design meeting um the plan is uh that uh each one of you, so not Stella Farrington but only you uh will uh present uh the the things you worked on uh the last uh half hour. I will uh take minutes and will put uh the minutes that I have at the end of the session in the shared. Also the minutes of the previous session are also in the shared folder now, so you can read that uh now or afterwards. Um uh I had an email from the from the management board uh, I don't know if you a al also uh received it, but there were four points uh which uh I think are very important. First one is uh they think that uh teletext teletext becomes outdated uh and internet will be the the main uh focus. Uh second one is also important uh, because it's one of the discussion points of the previous session. Uh the remote control shou should onl only be used for the television, so it uh not gonna it's not gonna be a multi-purpose remote control, so uh that's one thing to keep in mind. Uh second, and I think that's important for the Marketing uh Expert, uh the current uh customers uh are in the age group group of uh forty years and older, but with this uh new remote uh they uh will uh would like to reach uh a group uh younger than uh forty. Uh and uh I think to keep in mind, but not really uh for now is that they uh want the the the slogan and the and the logo uh to uh to be recognised more in the remote. So, we have uh forty minutes, so I think uh not more than ten minutes uh uh per presentation uh each, and please uh use uh all the the the facilities so that you have either SMARTboards, the the Word files, what you uh whatever you want. So uh Tim, can you start?
  Stella Farrington: Okay.
  Freda Ward: Yeah?
  Stella Farrington: 'Kay, welcome. I have some uh new findings on uh Marketing Expert
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm
  Stella Farrington: level, which I will show you. The method I used was um giving orders to our usability lab uh to do a questionnaire. Um one hundred respondents were involved and my marketing uh department generated a report with a lot of results. Um, these were a couple of findings, first page of three. Um, we have three audiences of two audiences, I'm sorry. Uh the first one, this scale, from sixteen to forty five age. Uh the second one is from sixty four uh forty six to sixty five. Um, as you can see here, the market share for the first audience is about sixty percent um sixty five. Uh second audience audience is uh thirty five percent. Mm and some interests from the from the age groups, uh it seems like the young users of remote controls really like the fancy uh new technology stuff, like uh an L_C_D_ screen on the remote control, um speech recognition. I don't think that's uh really appropriate. Um, and when you see uh the audience, the age is going up uh Yeah, they don't really want it anymore, at least the new technologies. Second findings out of the questionnaire um are the opinion the opinions uh of the audience about current remote controls. First point is, seventy five percent of the users find the most repo remote controls very ugly, uh and eighty percent of the users would spend more money when a remote control would look fancy. So that's maybe something for the User Interface uh Designer. Okay, third findings. According to the frequency of use versus importance investigation, um following buttons are most important. Um, I will tell something about the way this uh this test was, yeah, done. Um, persons were asked uh what the buttons were uh they use most,
  Freda Ward: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: how much an hour, and uh in the second table the importance of those buttons. Um, when you multiply them, you get the these three points. Switching channels, um yeah, that's pretty uh pretty normal, that's what you do with a remote control. Um the second, teletext, uh and the third, uh volume controls. Um, I think it's good uh that we know what the user want wants, uh at least the these three points have to be uh very
  Freda Ward: But
  Stella Farrington: clear.
  Freda Ward: it's strange that the the manage board the management board said that the teletext will be uh outdated by the internet.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: So
  Stella Farrington: okay.
  Freda Ward: that that's strange.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, okay, but uh at the moment uh teletext is Yeah, th the best thing you can get uh on T_V_,
  Freda Ward: Yeah, okay.
  Stella Farrington: like getting information. So
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: uh, when you ask people, what do they use, they use teletext and not
  Freda Ward: Okay.
  Stella Farrington: the internet on a remote control.
  Freda Ward: Yeah, okay.
  Stella Farrington: That's ridiculous.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: That's a ne i it It's a new technology, but
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: it's not incorporated right now. Okay, my personal preferences. Um, I think we should aim at the uh audience from sixteen to forty five. Mm, first of all um it's the biggest share, the biggest audience, sixty five percent. Uh second, I think you will get the most revenue from i from it. Um, yeah, people from sixteen to forty five watch a lot of T_V_, more than uh people who are el uh elder. Um second point, we have to impro improve the most used functions, as I said here, switching channels, teletext and volume controls. Third point um that came out of the uh of the questionnaire, uh people used to uh get lost off the remote controller, so maybe it's an idea for us uh to design ex kind of placeholder
  Freda Ward: Yeah, that's
  Stella Farrington: uh
  Freda Ward: a cool idea.
  Stella Farrington: on side of the, yeah, of the T_V_ where you can put the the remote control in. Um, that's about it, I think. Yeah.
  Megan Paul: When you mentioned uh improving functions, what uh what do you mean by that
  Stella Farrington: Uh
  Megan Paul: what
  Stella Farrington: not not
  Megan Paul: what are
  Stella Farrington: the
  Megan Paul: you think
  Stella Farrington: r
  Megan Paul: about?
  Stella Farrington: not the functions, but
  Megan Paul: Uh, the
  Stella Farrington: uh
  Megan Paul: funtionability.
  Stella Farrington: it came out that a lot of buttons weren't even used uh on a remote control. So you can have a remote control full of buttons, a hundreds hundreds of buttons, but if you don't use them,
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: yeah it's
  Megan Paul: Ah okay, so focusing more on the used
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: buttons.
  Stella Farrington: they have to be on it
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: j just to t to get it done if necessary, but um the most used buttons uh have to be bigger or
  Megan Paul: Could you use perhaps uh one button for multiple functions, like example pressing it in longer makes it switch to an different function for
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: example.
  Stella Farrington: perhaps. Just
  Megan Paul: Thank you.
  Stella Farrington: for the minor functions perhaps.
  Megan Paul: Yeah, ma perhaps just, just an idea.
  Stella Farrington: Just to get less buttons on the remote control, to make it easier and quicker to learn.
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah? 'Kay, that's it.
  Freda Ward: Thank you, Tim.
  Megan Paul: Uh
  Freda Ward: Janus, can
  Megan Paul: yeah
  Freda Ward: you
  Megan Paul: yeah,
  Freda Ward: uh
  Megan Paul: I'll go, sure.
  Megan Paul: Right uh, I'll be uh explaining a bit about uh working design about uh the project. Well uh what I did was I dissected uh uh current remote controls and um I viewed how how they w looked, how they worked, uh what kind of components are involved, and how they are connected together. And uh after that I put up a scheme about how uh these things are organised and I'll show it to you in in a in a few seconds. And I'll explain a bit about uh how it works and how we could uh build one and why I think several possibilities uh that we discussed in the earlier meeting falls off. Um right. Uh well what I did was uh I I checked uh remote controls and the uh remote controls of today are all infrared, not like all probably know. And the thing about that is um the remote controls uh have to act as a T_V_ or uh a stereo or something, and those uh have a transmitter that's also focused on infrared, so if we want to uh build uh mm a remote control uh with Bluetooth for instance then uh the T_V_ should have Bluetooth too in order to communicate, so that would mean extra cost for the user and thus uh that's that wouldn't mean a a cheap uh remote control for us. So that's probably why most controls are still infrared. Furthermore they all have uh a a very simple structure, so that would probably uh mean lower costs and uh i that could mean for us a good thing uh 'cause uh well we we should be able to build a relatively cheap uh a cheap uh remote. Well uh as I mentioned ready, we have some Bluetooth Well it may be possible, but uh I figured it wouldn't be possible in within our budget, but that's not for Stella Farrington to decide, but that's maybe something for marketing to look into. F because uh well my personal opinion is uh is not to do uh Bluetooth or or radio waves, although
  Stella Farrington: What do you think about uh incorporating Bluetooth or a radio uh receiver uh in the place-holder next to the T_V_, connected to the T_V_?
  Megan Paul: Yeah, actually
  Stella Farrington: So
  Megan Paul: I have
  Stella Farrington: it's
  Megan Paul: t
  Stella Farrington: in the wrong product.
  Megan Paul: Yeah. Yeah, I actually I figured that would be that would be rather nice, but then you'd still have the uh the infrared function. So
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: in in theory you'd actually just move the problem,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: but uh what I did uh think about was when you mentioned about the uh the cup-holder, is why not uh introduce a speech function like where is the remote. If somebody says, where is the remote, then it goes uh beep uh beep beep beep or something, I dunno, maybe uh
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: maybe something to look into, I dunno uh what the cost that something like that would be. But it may be uh may be something to explore. Uh I'll I'll just explain a bit of the components. Uh first you have the energy source. The energy source would be a battery, simple uh battery uh that you can find anywhere. I figured that would be best, 'cause when the battery uh stops functioning uh we could just uh use you could just go out and buy a new one. So we didn't and we don't have to do all uh to be too complicated about that. Uh the energy source is connected to the infrared button, but uh the infrared button uh works only via the chip and the subcomponent to uh the switch there is a switch uh between these. When the switch is pressed in a w on this this case it switches a button, when a button is prush pushed in, uh a electric current goes through here, and in uh immediately, a l a bulb lights up uh displaying to the user that something has happened. That's uh that's so the h user won't be um thinking, well uh did the button be pressed, w what happened uh. Or I press button but nothing's happening on the T_V_, so is is something wrong or something. So that's just to uh to to explain the of to to uh make it clearer to the user. Uh w well the signal goes via chip that's translated into uh electric sig uh electronic signals and then it's processed and then it's sent to the infrared bulb where it will be uh uh received on the receiving end. And those uh interpreted by the device, well in this case the television. Uh well my personal preferences here, well we have to keep it simple. Not too many uh gadgets and functions, just like you said uh well the most users n uh you have a lot of buttons and you u u use you don't use them, w spend more time on those. Uh I I think we should stick by with infrared transmitting and uh no receiving. So uh no input from the television. So I think we shouldn't be uh spending time on um teletext and st things like that, because when you uh want teletext on uh infrared you'd have to build in a receiver too, and so in order to receive the signals from uh what's on T_V_ and such. So I figure that would be uh spending too much money and time and
  Stella Farrington: Um, yeah, maybe another problem uh, I think current T_V_s can even send
  Megan Paul: Yes,
  Stella Farrington: infrared.
  Megan Paul: but what should we uh s I I I f I agree with you, but should
  Stella Farrington: Huh.
  Megan Paul: we spend money or and time on building a receiver into the uh remote control?
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm.
  Megan Paul: 'Cause that would be I mean extra components, extra
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: designs, um larger g uh remote control.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: These all uh all stuff that we have to take in account. So I I my personal opinion is no no no receiver at all. Um,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: well we should uh look into the design and the functionability. Like I said, uh use one button for instance for m multiple functions, or well uh just hide the few buttons o of switching it open or something, the usual uh stuff. And uh don't overbuild, we shouldn't make a big uh remote control for simple functions, but we we should stick to the basics. So that was my uh my personal opinion. And that was my uh my presentation uh
  Rita Oliver: Okay.
  Freda Ward: Okay, thank you Janus.
  Rita Oliver: Yes, I can go
  Freda Ward: You do?
  Rita Oliver: ahead.
  Freda Ward: The last presentation.
  Rita Oliver: Last presentation.
  Freda Ward: You have plenty of time,
  Rita Oliver: Okay.
  Freda Ward: Tim and uh Janus don't uh talk to ten minutes, so uh take your time. If you take your time too long I will uh eventually uh warn you.
  Rita Oliver: Well, I'm going to give a presentation abut some of the technical functions of these design and uh usability functions. Um what's my opinion about what's most important to combine the design, technical possibilities and the user friendliness in one, so if you um going to design a remote that looks good, that shouldn't weigh over the if it's possible to make, but also the user friendliness, so tha that's that's some of the main points. And another one is um the use um of many functions will will make it more difficult, so use as as little functions as possible or at least don't display them all at once on the same remote. If you have fifty functions
  Stella Farrington: Hmm.
  Rita Oliver: you don't want fifty buttons uh t uh to be shown at the same time, 'cause when you visit an internet uh site you don't want fifty links uh to see, but maybe use a hierarch hierarchy uh structure. And uh well one of the ideas was maybe uh use touch screen, but s I don't know in how far
  Stella Farrington: Hmm.
  Rita Oliver: that is possible, since we are sticking to uh um infrared and and the remote cannot receive anything, but uh we might uh consider that. Um well, of course I I hope this is all clear to you. If you you can use remote like this with all the functions, many functions, but Well, your thumb is a little bigger than th it than this. You have to be very careful what you push, and um if you're looking for teletext you'll be uh searching for half an hour from uh um yeah well, where is it? Where the hell he here I guess and, yeah, when you have to uh use something else. So just keep it simple, make clear buttons, easy to use. For example if you want to use a play and back and stop, that's very important. Um well this was because of our last discussion, if multiple machines are used, create easy switch between the machines, but um it's no longer uh applying. Well yeah, I prefer to use it only for T_V_ and um n uh not to give too many options and and if possible, uh the buttons should give a dr direct action, not first select
  Freda Ward: Uh you you just said um uh you wanted to to combine more functions in one,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: so
  Rita Oliver: and
  Freda Ward: uh
  Rita Oliver: so
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: you
  Rita Oliver: that's
  Megan Paul: but
  Rita Oliver: where
  Freda Ward: you
  Rita Oliver: the difficulties
  Freda Ward: want to keep it simple,
  Rita Oliver: lie.
  Freda Ward: but I think that if you want to do that, then you can't escape the the fact that there will be buttons uh which give s uh more options than one.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: this so
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: that's
  Megan Paul: but
  Rita Oliver: the thing you have to weigh against each other. Do we want to use a few options and might not be so or original,
  Freda Ward: Mm-hmm.
  Rita Oliver: or uh multi-purpose as we thought,
  Freda Ward: Okay.
  Rita Oliver: or do we want to use um many buttons.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: So um weighing those factors.
  Stella Farrington: Hmm it's maybe an option uh if you use an L_C_D_ or a touch screen um, that in the middle are the the main keys, like displayed on the Uh yeah.
  Rita Oliver: The doesn't.
  Stella Farrington: this? No? Yeah. Something like that. Okay, just uh in the middle the general functions, like play, uh channel switching,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: and then uh at the top or at the bottom, some menus like uh settings or that you can drop down.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah, but when all the questions I had Do we want to use uh a menu display on the T_V_? Or um does have to f everything uh be in remotes? 'Cause if you use
  Stella Farrington: Mm.
  Rita Oliver: a memory display on the T_V_, you can simply push uh a more menu and then select the options you want to have and press okay. Uh so that's my recommendation,
  Stella Farrington: Nah.
  Rita Oliver: if you use many options in one buttle button,
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm.
  Rita Oliver: um display the menu on the T_V_ and
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: don't um use combination of t of two buttons at the same time or pressing buttons three times for five seconds, is
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: too complicated for most users.
  Stella Farrington: I
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Stella Farrington: think
  Megan Paul: but
  Stella Farrington: so too, but and that's partly because um uh a lot of T_V_s have different menus, and when you have a particular menu uh at your device, uh it could be that don't correspond to the menu what's actually on T_V_.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah, that will be a problem.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: Well you d you have to keep in mind that uh several T_V_s uh don't even have a menu structure, or they have a very simple menu structure, so you have to keep in mind that not all uh d not our remote won't be able to work on all televisions.
  Rita Oliver: Yes.
  Megan Paul: And that would be uh a
  Rita Oliver: So
  Megan Paul: considerable
  Rita Oliver: if
  Megan Paul: problem.
  Rita Oliver: we have to stick with current technologies and uh um well yeah, the restrictions of what's uh is on the market today,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: um you should keep it s at this. Use big clear buttons. Not too many. So maybe we'll loose a few option uh options, but I think i this is more important. Um especially the important buttons, um if you want to switch channel, change your volume, uh use teletext, it uh it has to work at once and more advanced options may be
  Megan Paul: Not embed
  Rita Oliver: put it s somewhere away on the remote, behind uh
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: a
  Megan Paul: but
  Rita Oliver: little
  Megan Paul: then with something
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Megan Paul: like a touch
  Rita Oliver: little
  Megan Paul: screen
  Rita Oliver: thing
  Megan Paul: could
  Rita Oliver: or a touch
  Megan Paul: could make
  Rita Oliver: screen.
  Megan Paul: more menu up pop up or
  Rita Oliver: And
  Megan Paul: something.
  Rita Oliver: yeah, if you want to uh uh s put on stand-by or change the channel, that should always be possible to do. Not first change menu options or
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: switch something. Um, well yeah, as you already told, give some feedback.
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: If the user is pushing a button he should know if the television or n at least remote is reacting and not just that the batteries may be low. And um, well, my conclusion is uh is uh less is more, keep it simple. So uh maybe we should just ease down on the functionality to uh to keep it accessible on t because you all know, if there are a lot of function on the the television, some you you'll never know uh and never use, and
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: therefore it's uh important if you want to change the volume or channel that is always accessible and easy and other functions um that are not so important um well you we should consider just not using them
  Stella Farrington: Yeah. Uh, I think the idea uh about uh touch screen um is very good. Um, because recently uh I saw news item on T_V_ um about uh new telephones uh for elder people. Um, they have like a touch screen with uh really big pictures on it like uh uh call uh hang-up, um and that's a big ad advantage I think, because one the one hand uh you make the remote control compatible for elder users just by uh scaling up the pictures or something.
  Freda Ward: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: It's uh very visual intended. What was I to say more?
  Rita Oliver: Maybe that's an option. Um keep the primary buttons visible.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: Uh make a remote that fits easily in the hands and for some design issues uh well, put a logo on it and maybe use it uh in some aesthetic uh aesthetic form. But uh th the important buttons m make them always accessible and pushable and clear and maybe use a touch screen, or if that's uh will become too difficult just uh like televi some o older telephones use a l uh maybe it's possible to to flip them open and uh just expand the number of options that are normally visible.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah okay,
  Rita Oliver: Um
  Stella Farrington: but but if you pick the the idea, the left idea
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: then what's gonna be displayed on the touch screen?
  Megan Paul: The extra functions.
  Rita Oliver: The extra functions,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: you uh
  Stella Farrington: but
  Rita Oliver: you
  Stella Farrington: l
  Rita Oliver: just
  Stella Farrington: like
  Rita Oliver: see
  Stella Farrington: menu
  Rita Oliver: a menu
  Stella Farrington: functions
  Rita Oliver: from
  Stella Farrington: or
  Rita Oliver: system
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: functions or teletext functions, and you just choose one, and then
  Stella Farrington: Ah
  Rita Oliver: all
  Stella Farrington: okay.
  Rita Oliver: all the options will become available and you just c s yeah t scroll through them.
  Megan Paul: Wouldn't it be better to make just one big touch screen,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, I
  Megan Paul: uh one
  Stella Farrington: think
  Megan Paul: one
  Stella Farrington: so.
  Megan Paul: small uh touch screen uh applet and uh I'll just make um uh let's say fifteen buttons on it, and uh we have three of those, uh actually just uh menus with sub-menus, with or sub-items,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: sub-functions.
  Rita Oliver: Well um then I'd like to make a proposal. If you make one big touch screen,
  Megan Paul: Yes.
  Rita Oliver: use the same concept as here, keep the buttons
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: always available
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: and use the lower part of the touch screen for the rest.
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: yeah, like like the iPod idea that
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: that we just saw. You just have a f a few selected buttons and uh a few menus, and with this idea you could actually make uh several you can also improve uh later on.
  Rita Oliver: Yes.
  Megan Paul: Uh uh I think that will be great.
  Rita Oliver: Okay.
  Freda Ward: So you think it's will be better to have a t kinda total touch screen.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, I think so.
  Megan Paul: Yeah, I wou I would actually go for
  Freda Ward: Jirun?
  Megan Paul: the
  Rita Oliver: Okay, I agree, but I think it's very important that they always um make the same buttons accessible, so use just for special options a part of the touch screen.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, of
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: course.
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: And so um an elder designer picks up th the of an elder parents or
  Freda Ward: Yeah
  Rita Oliver: grandparent
  Freda Ward: yeah yeah.
  Rita Oliver: picks up the remote from the little child and who's all in the systems functions, you'll have to have the possibility to turn off the T_V_ or to switch the channel without um well using all the menu structures to get back to the primary functions.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, I had another uh idea about maybe parental control.
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: Um, like building in uh some kind of PIN code uh which allows uh parents to switch to all channels,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: uh but children uh if children don't don't know the PIN code,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah
  Stella Farrington: they
  Rita Oliver: wh
  Stella Farrington: can't switch to uh violent uh
  Rita Oliver: Is that possible
  Stella Farrington: channels or
  Rita Oliver: to use
  Megan Paul: That
  Rita Oliver: or no?
  Megan Paul: is possible, that well
  Stella Farrington: Th
  Megan Paul: that actually
  Stella Farrington: there's
  Megan Paul: depends
  Stella Farrington: just
  Megan Paul: on the television, but I
  Rita Oliver: Well,
  Megan Paul: think I
  Rita Oliver: yeah
  Megan Paul: figure
  Rita Oliver: well,
  Megan Paul: that would
  Rita Oliver: does
  Megan Paul: be
  Rita Oliver: it have
  Stella Farrington: Ju
  Rita Oliver: to depend
  Stella Farrington: just a simple
  Rita Oliver: on the television?
  Stella Farrington: log-in, something
  Megan Paul: Well,
  Stella Farrington: like that.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: y you s you see the fi uh thing is when you buy a remote, you you set the uh channels,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: the the channels are different on each te television, they
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: aren't set in a preset order, so uh if you uh lock on a remote, uh let's say channel fifteen,
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm.
  Megan Paul: well channel fifteen on this television is different than channel fifteen on the other
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: television,
  Stella Farrington: okay.
  Megan Paul: so that would be uh that would be
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: actually the main concern.
  Rita Oliver: Well, I
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: think that he means that um maybe by some option uh make sure that um remote control and the T_V_ match, and then after that you can um use some s insert some passwords as being apparent that the children cannot use this uh
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: change the settings of the T_V_, like colour and then volume and uh
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, th that kind of stuff, but maybe um if you log in first as
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: a parent um, you address the the channels
  Megan Paul: Yes.
  Stella Farrington: and like uh oh, that's channel fifteen, that's uh vi violent channel,
  Rita Oliver: Oh,
  Megan Paul: Yes.
  Stella Farrington: uh
  Rita Oliver: something
  Stella Farrington: m my
  Rita Oliver: like
  Stella Farrington: ki
  Rita Oliver: that.
  Stella Farrington: my kids uh I don't want my kids to watch that,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: then you set the priority to only parents,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Freda Ward: Okay, yeah.
  Rita Oliver: Well
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: b
  Stella Farrington: for
  Megan Paul: that
  Stella Farrington: example.
  Megan Paul: would b
  Rita Oliver: but make
  Stella Farrington: But
  Rita Oliver: it a separate option in the menu,
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: so
  Megan Paul: that.
  Rita Oliver: that it's
  Stella Farrington: Yeah
  Rita Oliver: it's
  Stella Farrington: okay,
  Rita Oliver: dif
  Stella Farrington: but
  Rita Oliver: dis displayed
  Stella Farrington: but
  Rita Oliver: from uh
  Stella Farrington: yeah, that's
  Rita Oliver: displayed
  Stella Farrington: just
  Rita Oliver: here, so uh
  Stella Farrington: that's
  Rita Oliver: parents
  Stella Farrington: an a
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Stella Farrington: an added
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: feature.
  Freda Ward: Okay. But let's not uh go too wide about the those things, that's
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: that
  Stella Farrington: th
  Freda Ward: why we're
  Stella Farrington: th
  Freda Ward: here.
  Stella Farrington: those
  Freda Ward: It's
  Stella Farrington: things
  Freda Ward: it's
  Stella Farrington: are
  Freda Ward: a nice
  Stella Farrington: nice.
  Freda Ward: idea, but I think that's we wel later in the stage. I've one little question about um a total touch screen or uh um
  Stella Farrington: Partial.
  Freda Ward: a p yeah, a partial, uh because I think uh elderly people may be uh not used to uh a touch screen, so they want the the the normal functions like teletext, volume changing, um
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Freda Ward: uh to be uh, yeah, kinda traditionals uh and uh the the the the other functions, the more
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm.
  Freda Ward: difficult functions uh to be uh maybe on the touch screen, but to keep this as uh normal as possible, to keep it
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: accessible.
  Stella Farrington: but but if you display it on L_C_D_ screen with r r really big numbers
  Rita Oliver: Yeah, you can de display it on
  Stella Farrington: that's
  Rita Oliver: the
  Stella Farrington: just
  Rita Oliver: on the
  Stella Farrington: as
  Rita Oliver: old
  Stella Farrington: e
  Rita Oliver: style.
  Megan Paul: Uh. I
  Rita Oliver: You
  Stella Farrington: just
  Rita Oliver: can
  Megan Paul: I do
  Rita Oliver: display
  Stella Farrington: as easy.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: actual buttons on the
  Freda Ward: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: touch screens.
  Freda Ward: that's
  Megan Paul: Uh
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Freda Ward: true,
  Megan Paul: I
  Freda Ward: that's
  Megan Paul: do agree,
  Freda Ward: true.
  Megan Paul: because well, it's just not the same when you touch a touch screen or when
  Rita Oliver: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: you touch
  Rita Oliver: okay.
  Megan Paul: a button, but
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, it's different.
  Megan Paul: well we have to look at what's our target uh audience. W
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: we are aiming for younger people
  Freda Ward: Yeah,
  Megan Paul: and
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Freda Ward: that's
  Megan Paul: they they
  Freda Ward: true,
  Megan Paul: chose
  Freda Ward: yeah.
  Stella Farrington: age b below forty.
  Freda Ward: Yeah, yeah yeah,
  Megan Paul: So
  Freda Ward: yeah,
  Megan Paul: that's
  Freda Ward: that's
  Megan Paul: that's
  Freda Ward: a good
  Megan Paul: probably
  Freda Ward: point.
  Megan Paul: uh a
  Freda Ward: Yep.
  Stella Farrington: And th those young people, yeah. Y you
  Freda Ward: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: saw it in my marketing report, they like the new fancy
  Freda Ward: They
  Stella Farrington: stuff,
  Freda Ward: like the
  Stella Farrington: so
  Freda Ward: fancy stuff, yeah. That's
  Stella Farrington: A touch
  Freda Ward: true.
  Stella Farrington: screen, like Microsoft al already developed something like that for
  Freda Ward: Mm-hmm.
  Stella Farrington: uh uh multi-media applications.
  Freda Ward: Mm
  Stella Farrington: I th I think we can do that too.
  Freda Ward: Yeah. Okay, as you can see uh the minutes from the second meeting, this one, are uh are
  Stella Farrington: Done.
  Freda Ward: done. Uh I've uh added the this uh four things from the management board just to keep in mind.
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm.
  Freda Ward: Um each time I uh I had a sort of uh summary on what you told and uh what you personal think. Uh so that can be uh can be read out. Uh a f a few things I uh I noticed uh were um Moment. Ooh.
  Freda Ward: Uh th the the main points in uh this uh uh in this uh meeting is I think uh how uh it's going to look uh with uh we must keep it simple, but have the opportunity to uh have more options and have them uh hidden or something, so they don't uh you don't have a big uh thing full of uh buttons the point that uh you uh wanna use one uh controller uh for uh uh hypothetically each television, so you must uh the the the the functions, know, like the menus or the the parental control must be all uh by the done by the remote control and not by the television. I think that's the point what uh
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm. Yes.
  Freda Ward: we discussed.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, yeah, some of them. The menus uh are not identical for all th for all T_V_s, so you have to display it on
  Rita Oliver: Well
  Stella Farrington: one uh T_V_.
  Rita Oliver: you can use um when you uh how do you call it, s um synchronized, the um remote and the T_V_,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah, but that's not
  Rita Oliver: then
  Stella Farrington: possible.
  Rita Oliver: there's always, there are always uh possibilities to change the colour and the brightness and the volume
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm, mm yeah.
  Rita Oliver: and um well maybe we can look out if there's options that the remote um in its memory can see what kinda T_V_ it is, from ah, it's a Philips, this and this and that, and then give the options that are capable the capable
  Freda Ward: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: from
  Freda Ward: but you
  Rita Oliver: the
  Freda Ward: have
  Rita Oliver: t
  Stella Farrington: Add
  Freda Ward: uh
  Stella Farrington: th that
  Freda Ward: uh
  Stella Farrington: that's
  Freda Ward: an
  Stella Farrington: an opportunity.
  Freda Ward: yeah, but you have an international market range, so you have I think
  Rita Oliver: Well
  Freda Ward: a
  Rita Oliver: there
  Freda Ward: big
  Rita Oliver: are
  Freda Ward: range
  Rita Oliver: universal
  Freda Ward: of
  Rita Oliver: d um um remotes
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: and they all have a functionality for all the T_V_s, uh so this
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: wouldn't
  Freda Ward: Okay.
  Rita Oliver: be a
  Megan Paul: But
  Rita Oliver: extra
  Megan Paul: they
  Rita Oliver: feature to
  Stella Farrington: But
  Rita Oliver: incorporate the men menus
  Freda Ward: And it's
  Rita Oliver: of these.
  Freda Ward: not too complex to do it.
  Megan Paul: Well
  Stella Farrington: No.
  Megan Paul: they uh they all have to be programmed to fit your T_V_
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: and that that is bit of a tricky job.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: I actually use one of those when They are they are kinda kinda troublesome, but but the thing is whe when you uh start uh building something like this you have to build a receiver into the uh t into the remotes, because uh in order for the remote to process something from the T_V_,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: like uh
  Rita Oliver: Well
  Megan Paul: to synchronise
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: and you have to send and receive,
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm.
  Megan Paul: and
  Rita Oliver: Oh
  Megan Paul: that's well
  Rita Oliver: um
  Stella Farrington: No no no.
  Rita Oliver: mo no, you can just
  Freda Ward: Just
  Stella Farrington: He
  Rita Oliver: say
  Stella Farrington: he
  Freda Ward: build
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Freda Ward: it
  Stella Farrington: he
  Freda Ward: in.
  Stella Farrington: he Stella Farrington he
  Rita Oliver: the
  Stella Farrington: means
  Rita Oliver: c
  Stella Farrington: just just one other thing.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Uh, with the current remote controls,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: the universal ones,
  Megan Paul: Yes.
  Stella Farrington: um you have to press
  Rita Oliver: In codes, y
  Stella Farrington: yeah,
  Rita Oliver: you you
  Stella Farrington: you have
  Rita Oliver: get
  Stella Farrington: to press
  Rita Oliver: a
  Stella Farrington: a code
  Rita Oliver: b a book
  Stella Farrington: for
  Rita Oliver: with
  Stella Farrington: T_V_.
  Rita Oliver: codes. You look up, I have a Philips H_ fifty
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: five
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: and it says press code
  Megan Paul: Oh, okay,
  Rita Oliver: four five
  Megan Paul: yeah, sure,
  Rita Oliver: five and you press
  Megan Paul: uh
  Rita Oliver: code four five five on the
  Megan Paul: Yeah yeah
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Megan Paul: yeah.
  Rita Oliver: in the remote and it displays all your uh menu options.
  Megan Paul: Oh, yeah yeah, sure, that would be possible,
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Now we uh just connect uh the T_V_ type uh to a set of
  Rita Oliver: Memory
  Stella Farrington: options,
  Rita Oliver: in
  Stella Farrington: in
  Rita Oliver: the
  Freda Ward: Yep.
  Rita Oliver: in
  Stella Farrington: just
  Rita Oliver: the remote.
  Stella Farrington: just in the memory,
  Megan Paul: Profiles.
  Stella Farrington: so that if you yeah, like profile, so that if you uh touch in like uh one four one zero
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: kind of T_V_ uh the memory uh pops up the options.
  Megan Paul: Yeah. Yeah,
  Freda Ward: Okay.
  Megan Paul: that would be possible. Yeah, sure.
  Stella Farrington: I th don't think that's uh that takes a lot of storage space or
  Megan Paul: No,
  Stella Farrington: some
  Megan Paul: that wouldn't
  Stella Farrington: just
  Megan Paul: be
  Stella Farrington: varia
  Megan Paul: uh
  Stella Farrington: variables.
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah, well
  Megan Paul: a few
  Rita Oliver: um
  Megan Paul: variables.
  Rita Oliver: if you look at the um manuals from universal uh remotes, there are
  Stella Farrington: Mm-hmm.
  Rita Oliver: maybe um three four hundreds T_V_s
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: at maximum. If you have all of them, all the old and new T_V_s summed up, so uh I think uh it is possible.
  Megan Paul: Ah it is. It
  Stella Farrington: But,
  Megan Paul: is definitely
  Stella Farrington: on the other
  Megan Paul: po
  Stella Farrington: hand
  Freda Ward: We have five minutes to go.
  Stella Farrington: on the other hand, uh if you have a remote
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: and buy a new T_V_ that isn't incorporated in the remote
  Rita Oliver: Well then you have to buy a new one, it's very good for marketing
  Stella Farrington: New remote?
  Rita Oliver: Maybe, or an update, software update.
  Stella Farrington: A firmware upgrade or
  Rita Oliver: Firmware
  Stella Farrington: something,
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: update,
  Megan Paul: firmware
  Rita Oliver: you say.
  Megan Paul: upgrade.
  Stella Farrington: but from where? Ah. Maybe
  Megan Paul: That's maybe the
  Stella Farrington: w
  Megan Paul: cup holder.
  Stella Farrington: No m
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: may
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: no, maybe we can incorporate some kind of uh U_S_B_ or a firewire connection, so that you can uh connect it to the P_C_ and download the newest firmware from uh from the internet.
  Megan Paul: Well, not everybody has uh has uh a P_C_ at home. Well the most most people have,
  Rita Oliver: Well,
  Megan Paul: but not not
  Rita Oliver: at
  Megan Paul: everybody
  Rita Oliver: uh you can
  Megan Paul: and
  Rita Oliver: go back to the shop and
  Stella Farrington: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Stella Farrington: like
  Rita Oliver: they
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: a s kind of service centre.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah, ser o
  Megan Paul: Yeah, maybe something like service
  Rita Oliver: and
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: they can
  Megan Paul: cen
  Rita Oliver: download it for you.
  Megan Paul: Or you could well you could s actually look at the place-holder you talked about earlier, and
  Rita Oliver: Mm-hmm.
  Megan Paul: you could probably uh make a connection to uh an telephone line or
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: a
  Rita Oliver: Well already
  Megan Paul: internet connection.
  Rita Oliver: digital information is sent t to the the standards, T_V_ uh
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: connections, you can see what's uh programme is on on the new uh channels, so maybe j they we can send that information along with standard T_V_ uh
  Megan Paul: Well then then it's be uh back to the
  Rita Oliver: Receiving.
  Megan Paul: building a receiving uh
  Rita Oliver: Oh yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: well uh if it's actually worth it to build it in, we could actually look
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: at into it, but I dunno, it it would be uh
  Rita Oliver: Difficult.
  Megan Paul: bringing more costs uh with with it and
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: I I think it's uh most cheap or cheapest to just do the updates uh at the service centre
  Megan Paul: Yeah,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah
  Stella Farrington: or
  Megan Paul: that would be
  Rita Oliver: yeah,
  Stella Farrington: at
  Megan Paul: probably
  Stella Farrington: the shop.
  Rita Oliver: uh
  Megan Paul: best,
  Rita Oliver: s
  Megan Paul: yeah.
  Freda Ward: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: I think some I think
  Megan Paul: Like
  Rita Oliver: it's
  Megan Paul: when
  Rita Oliver: good
  Megan Paul: you when
  Rita Oliver: idea,
  Megan Paul: you buy
  Rita Oliver: yeah.
  Megan Paul: a T_V_ you just ask
  Stella Farrington: It's
  Megan Paul: well
  Stella Farrington: it's
  Megan Paul: I'll
  Stella Farrington: it's not a lot of work, just one uh docking station where you put it in,
  Megan Paul: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: press start, bling bling, updated.
  Megan Paul: Yeah, that would be best,
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Megan Paul: yeah.
  Stella Farrington: Yeah.
  Rita Oliver: Yeah.
  Stella Farrington: You don't buy a T_V_ every week,
  Rita Oliver: Okay,

  Stella Farrington: Yeah. Okay.
Updated Content: When this functional design meeting opens Freda Ward tells  the group about the project restrictions he received from management by email. Stella Farrington is first to present, summarizing user requirements data from a questionaire given to 100 respondents. Stella Farrington explains various user preferences and complaints about remotes as well as different interests among age groups. He prefers that they aim users from ages 16-45, improve the most-used functions, and make a placeholder for the remote. Megan Paul begins explaining the working design. He talks about existing products, most of which use infared since it is simple and cost-effective. He suggests adding a speech function, when someone asks where the remote is and it beeps. He also explains the various components, materials, and energy sources of a remote, giving preference to a remote with multifunctional buttons and without a receiver. The interface specialist presents, talking about the possible components of the remote and concluding that the remote should be simple and accessible without too much functionality. The group continues the meeting by having discussion about the possibility of a touch screen, LCD, and other functions. The group closes the meeting and goes to lunch.
