Extracted Content: Wanda Reid: All hooked up. Okay, so now we are here at the functional design meeting. Um hopefully this meeting I'll be doing a little bit less talking than I did last time 'cause this is when you get to show us what you've been doing individually. The agenda for the meeting, I put it in the sh shared documents folder. I don't know if that meant that you could see it or not. Did anyone?
  Laurie Ulibarri: No.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: No. Oh well. Um I'll try and the meeting as well so if you check in there, there's a shared project documents folder. Um and it should be in there.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm. Um um wi on on a what? Oh project project documents, yeah,
  Wanda Reid: Project
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: documents,
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah, okay.
  Wanda Reid: yeah. So I'll put it in
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh okay,
  Wanda Reid: there. Is
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: it best if I send you an email maybe, to let you know it's there?
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yes,
  Wanda Reid: Yep.
  Laurie Ulibarri: I think so.
  Wanda Reid: I'll do that next time. Um I'll act as secretary for this meeting and just take minutes as we go through, and then I'll send them to you after the meeting. The main the main focus of this meeting is your presentations that you've been preparing during the time, so we'll go through each of you one by one. Um then we need to briefly discuss the new project requirements that were sent to us. I
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: just
  Laurie Ulibarri: the
  Wanda Reid: sent
  Laurie Ulibarri: last minute, yeah,
  Wanda Reid: at the last minute,
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: I'm sorry about that, but we can see how that affects what
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: you were you were doing. Um and then we need to, by the end of the meeting come to some kind of decision on who our target group's going to be and what the functions of the remote control that's the the main goal is to come up with those two things, target group and functions of the remote control. And we've got forty minutes to do that in. So I would
  Joan Gjelaj: You said
  Wanda Reid: say
  Joan Gjelaj: uh targ
  Wanda Reid: yeah?
  Joan Gjelaj: target groups, what mean?
  Wanda Reid: As
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um
  Wanda Reid: uh who it is that we're going to be trying to sell this thing to,
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh okay, 'kay.
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: So are
  Wanda Reid: So we need to yeah, we need to have a fairly defined group
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: that that we want to focus on and then look at the functions um of the dem remote control itself. So with that I think it's best if I hand over to you. Does anyone have
  Joan Gjelaj: Alright.
  Wanda Reid: a preference for going first?
  Joan Gjelaj: I can go first,
  Wanda Reid: You wanna go
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: first?
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Okay,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Hmm.
  Wanda Reid: so we need to unplug my laptop and plug in yours. I assume we just pull it out?
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right. Um so f from the
  Wanda Reid: Just before you start, to make it easier, would you three mind emailing Crystal Kohm your presentations? Once we you don't have
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay,
  Wanda Reid: to do it now
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: but when
  Laurie Ulibarri: afterwards, yeah,
  Wanda Reid: once
  Laurie Ulibarri: okay.
  Wanda Reid: you go back,
  Joan Gjelaj: Right sure.
  Wanda Reid: just so that I don't have to scribble everything down.
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh okay. So n uh with uh with regard to the uh working design of this uh uh remote control uh I've identified um a few basic uh components of the remote and uh se uh from the design, functional design perspective um c we can now uh know wha what exactly components are and how how they work together with each other. So this is the method that uh I'll mostly be following in my um in my uh role. Um the identification of the components, uh and uh since since I'm dealing only with the technical aspects, I would need feedback from the marketing person uh and uh from the user interface person.
  Wanda Reid: Hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh we'll then integrate this into the product design at a technical level and uh basically update and come up with a new design, so it's a cyclical process. Okay, so these were the basic findings from today. The last three bullets have been integrated from uh the last minute uh email. Uh I just quickly jotted them down. Um so basically uh the as I told you the identification of how the remote control works and what are the various parts to it uh and what are the different processes um and how the parts uh communicate with each other. Um okay, so e the mee email said that teletext is now outdated, so we need to do away with that functionality of the remote control. Um also uh the remote control should be used only for television, because incorporating other features um makes it more comp complex. And the reason why teletext is outdated because uh of internet and uh the availability of internet over television. How however, our our remote control would only be dealing uh with the the use for television, in order to keep things simple. Um also the management wants that um our design should be unique uh it so it should incorporate um colour and the slogan uh that our company um has it as its standard. Okay, so he he here is a functional overview of the remote control. Um there's basically an energy source at the heart uh which feeds into the chip and the user interface. The user interf interface communicates with the chip, so I'll basic go over to the
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay. So if uh if this is our energy source and this is a cell, uh it communicates uh it feeds energy into the into the chip, which basically finds out h uh how how to do everything. There is a user interface here. So whe when the user presses a button, it feeds into the chip and the chip then generates a response and takes the response to an infrared terminal, um which then so the output of the chip is an infrared bit code, which is then communicated to the remote site, which h has an infrared receiver. Um the there can be uh a bulb here or something to indicate whether the remote is on or communicating. Um so these are the essent so a all the functionality of the remote control, whatever new functions that we need to do, um make the chip more complicated uh
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: and bigger, basically.
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay. Um so i in my personal preferences um I'm hoping that we can ke keep the design as simple and clear as possible. This would uh help us uh to upgrade our technology at a future point of time. And uh also if we can incorporate uh the latest features in our chip design, so that our um uh remote control does not become outdated soon and it's compatible with mot most uh televisions. That's about it. So
  Wanda Reid: Okay.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Thanks.
  Joan Gjelaj: anything that you would like to know or
  Wanda Reid: Do you have any um i idea about costs at this point?
  Joan Gjelaj: No,
  Wanda Reid: Br
  Joan Gjelaj: I don't have any idea about what each component costs. Um
  Wanda Reid: Okay.
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: 'Cause that's something
  Joan Gjelaj: Anything else?
  Wanda Reid: to consider, I guess, if we're
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: if we're using more advanced technology, it might
  Joan Gjelaj: Certainly, yeah. So
  Wanda Reid: increase
  Joan Gjelaj: so tha yeah,
  Wanda Reid: the
  Joan Gjelaj: we
  Wanda Reid: price.
  Joan Gjelaj: definitely need to operate within our constraints,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: but um unfortunately I I do not have any data, so uh I just identified the functional components for
  Wanda Reid: That's
  Joan Gjelaj: that.
  Wanda Reid: fine. Are there any more questions, or shall we just skip straight to the next one and then we can discuss all of them together
  Laurie Ulibarri: I
  Wanda Reid: at
  Laurie Ulibarri: think
  Wanda Reid: the end?
  Laurie Ulibarri: we need like some general discussion at the end
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: probably.
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: I think that will do.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: okay.
  Wanda Reid: Okay, so do you want to
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah, I think since since we were discussing some um issues then
  Wanda Reid: Yes,
  Laurie Ulibarri: I I
  Wanda Reid: shall
  Laurie Ulibarri: I would like to continue
  Wanda Reid: shall
  Laurie Ulibarri: okay,
  Wanda Reid: we pull this
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: up? I think that has to come out of
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: there.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: 'kay.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Thanks.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah, I thought
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh i
  Wanda Reid: those last minute things, they're gonna hit you the worst.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay, I hope wait. Should it just
  Joan Gjelaj: I it'll take some time.
  Wanda Reid: It ta takes a little
  Laurie Ulibarri: There's just
  Wanda Reid: Oh,
  Laurie Ulibarri: nothing.
  Wanda Reid: and have you you need to then also press on yours,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh right, right, right,
  Wanda Reid: function
  Laurie Ulibarri: um
  Wanda Reid: F_ eight, so the blue function key at the bottom
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: and F_ eight.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Nothin okay,
  Joan Gjelaj: Oh,
  Laurie Ulibarri: something
  Joan Gjelaj: there it is, yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: is coming
  Wanda Reid: Now
  Laurie Ulibarri: up.
  Wanda Reid: it's coming,
  Joan Gjelaj: It'll come up, it
  Wanda Reid: computer
  Joan Gjelaj: um uh
  Laurie Ulibarri: No signal?
  Wanda Reid: no
  Joan Gjelaj: no signal.
  Wanda Reid: signal.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Why?
  Wanda Reid: Maybe again?
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah yeah, it says something now,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh.
  Joan Gjelaj: adjusting
  Laurie Ulibarri: My my computer went blank now.
  Wanda Reid: Okay,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Adjusting.
  Wanda Reid: adjusting.
  Laurie Ulibarri: But I don't see
  Wanda Reid: There
  Laurie Ulibarri: anything
  Wanda Reid: we go,
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: there we go.
  Laurie Ulibarri: I don't see anything on my computer now. This
  Joan Gjelaj: Oh, that's
  Laurie Ulibarri: is the
  Wanda Reid: Oh,
  Laurie Ulibarri: problem,
  Wanda Reid: if
  Joan Gjelaj: strange.
  Wanda Reid: you
  Laurie Ulibarri: but
  Wanda Reid: press if you press function and that again there's there's usually three modes, one where it's only here, one where
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: it's only there, and one where it's both.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um.
  Joan Gjelaj: And
  Wanda Reid: Okay, so one
  Joan Gjelaj: one
  Wanda Reid: more
  Joan Gjelaj: more time.
  Wanda Reid: time.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Uh now it's okay. No? No.
  Wanda Reid: Should
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: yeah just wait for a moment, adjusting.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh okay. Okay,
  Wanda Reid: Okay.
  Laurie Ulibarri: that's fine, that's good. Okay, let's start from the beginning. So I'm going to speak about technical functions design uh just like some some first issues that came up. Um 'kay, so the method I was um adopting at this point, it's not um for the for the whole um period of the um all the project but it's just at th at this very moment.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um uh my method was um to look at um other um remote controls, uh so mostly just by searching on the web and to see what um functionality they used. And then um after having got this inspiration and having compared what I found on the web um just to think about what the de what the user really needs and what um what the user might desire as additional uh functionalities. And yeah, and then just to um put the main function of the remote control in in words.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um so the findings uh were um that the main function of the remote control is is just sending messages to the television set, so this quite straightforward. And uh w some of the main functions would be switching on, switching off, uh then the user would like to switch the channel um for example just m changing to the next channel to to flip through all all of the possible channels, or then mm uh the other possibility would be that um she might just want to choose one particular channel, so we would need the numbers. And and also the volume is very important. Um um
  Joan Gjelaj: Sorry,
  Laurie Ulibarri: I
  Joan Gjelaj: cou
  Laurie Ulibarri: als
  Joan Gjelaj: could you go back for
  Laurie Ulibarri: okay.
  Joan Gjelaj: a second? Uh switching on off channel, uh volume, okay, that's great.
  Laurie Ulibarri: 'Kay. Um um among the findings I found that m m most of the curr mm presently available remote controls also include other mm functionalities um in their design, like operating a V_C_R_, but they don't seem to be able to deal with D_V_D_ players, but then there are surely there are many other functionali functions that could possibly be added to them, but according to the last minute update um
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: actually um we do not want to have all this complicated functions added to our design. So my personal preferences would be uh to keep the mm the whole remote control small um just like the physical size. And then it must be easy to use, so it must follow some conventions um like whereabouts you find the on off button and maybe the colour tends to be red or something. Um then yeah, the must-have buttons would be on off and then the channel numbers and then um the one that allows us to go to the next or the previous channel, and then volume has to be there. But then um other functionalities um could be just uh there could be a menu button and you could change things on the screen then, um for example brightness and mm similar functions could be just um done through the menu. And yeah, the last question I had about whether we wanted to incorporate n uh more functionalities, the answer was already no because of the last minute update.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: So at the for the time being that's uh that's all. If you
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: have questions
  Wanda Reid: If I mean that was the the directive that came through from management, but if we had a a decent case for that we really think it's important to include video and D_V_D_, I could get back to them and see. It's w it's just whether it's worth arguing about.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah, and also it's it's um other question is uh because there are so many different And there are so many different things that could possibly be included because
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: besides video and D_V_D_ there are the mm um video C_D_s and whatever, so
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: it might be problematic to to choose between
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: all these possible things.
  Wanda Reid: Okay. Are there any questions for clarification of Maarika before we go on to the next one?
  Joan Gjelaj: So in the u user interface requirements uh uh uh we we have been able to identify what are the basic buttons that we do want. Um but um so so at this stage, uh how we go about implementing those button we will not identify or I mean in we can completely do away with buttons But uh is is there any uh uh any thoughts on that?
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um well, I think the buttons are still mm kind of the most um easy for the user to use, I mean
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Laurie Ulibarri: um what other options would you have? A little screen or something, but this would be really
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: kind of
  Joan Gjelaj: and
  Laurie Ulibarri: I
  Joan Gjelaj: it'll
  Laurie Ulibarri: think a lot
  Joan Gjelaj: make
  Laurie Ulibarri: of
  Joan Gjelaj: the
  Laurie Ulibarri: learning
  Joan Gjelaj: costs
  Laurie Ulibarri: for the user
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: and and I mean the user just wants to get um get a result um quickly, not to spend time in like um giving several orders um
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Laurie Ulibarri: I dunno.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: I think I th I would I would think the put the buttons, but if if you have other mm proposals
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh I
  Laurie Ulibarri: um.
  Joan Gjelaj: think the
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Joan Gjelaj: co costs will also play a big role when we come to know about them. So
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Joan Gjelaj: well we can probably wait until t we have more knowledge on that.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh i if the if the costs allow, we can have like an L_C_D_ display and uh with um because we do want something fancy and fashionable as well.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: So
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah?
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yep.
  Joan Gjelaj: Cool.
  Wanda Reid: Sure, we can discuss that maybe after the next one.
  Crystal Kohm: Cool.
  Wanda Reid: Do
  Crystal Kohm: Do
  Wanda Reid: you want
  Crystal Kohm: wanna
  Wanda Reid: to
  Crystal Kohm: give Crystal Kohm the little cable thing?
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Uh am I going in the right direction? No. Wait.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Oh, I'm
  Laurie Ulibarri: comes.
  Wanda Reid: getting hungry.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay, here you are.
  Crystal Kohm: Cool.
  Crystal Kohm: Ah, that's why it won't meet. Okay, cool.
  Wanda Reid: You set?
  Crystal Kohm: Yep, cool. Okay, functional requirements.
  Wanda Reid: Uh we need to do the function key thing so that it comes up on
  Crystal Kohm: Alright,
  Wanda Reid: here.
  Crystal Kohm: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Hello.
  Joan Gjelaj: try
  Wanda Reid: Is
  Joan Gjelaj: to
  Wanda Reid: it
  Joan Gjelaj: press
  Wanda Reid: plugged
  Crystal Kohm: It's working.
  Wanda Reid: in
  Joan Gjelaj: oh,
  Wanda Reid: prop
  Joan Gjelaj: okay,
  Wanda Reid: it's working? Okay.
  Joan Gjelaj: yep.
  Wanda Reid: Excellent.
  Crystal Kohm: Cool, okay. So what I have, wh where I've got my information from is a survey where the usability lab um observed remote control use with um a hundred subjects and then they gave them a questionnaire. Um so it was all about, you, how people feel about the look and feel of the remote control, you know. What's the most annoying things about remote controls and um the possibility of speech recognition and L_C_D_ screens in remote control. Not that they actually gave Crystal Kohm any answers on the L_C_D_ screens, so I should have taken that bit out, but anyway. Um okay, so. What they found is that people don't like how current remote controls are, so you know, definitely you should be looking at something quite different. Um seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly. Uh the other twenty five percent have no fashion sense. Uh eighty percent of users would spend more to get um you know, a nice looking remote control. Um current remote controls, they don't match the user behaviour well, as you'll see on the next slide. Um I dunno what zapping is, but
  Wanda Reid: It's um switching between channels, sort of randomly going through.
  Crystal Kohm: Oh, right. But you have that little thing that comes up at the bottom and tells you what's on. Um okay,
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: fifty percent of users say they only use ten percent of the buttons, so that's going back to what, you know, we were saying earlier about, you
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: know, do you need all the buttons on the remote control,
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: they just make it look ugly. Okay? Cool. Um so this is my little
  Wanda Reid: Ooh,
  Crystal Kohm: graph
  Wanda Reid: that's
  Crystal Kohm: thing.
  Wanda Reid: a bit difficult to see.
  Crystal Kohm: Mm
  Wanda Reid: If
  Crystal Kohm: k
  Wanda Reid: you explain it to us it'll be fine.
  Crystal Kohm: Okay, well, I can send it to all of you.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: What it is is um it's cones, 'cause I thought they'd be more exciting. Um
  Wanda Reid: I
  Crystal Kohm: but
  Wanda Reid: liked the, I liked
  Crystal Kohm: ooh
  Wanda Reid: the litt ooh
  Crystal Kohm: where's it go?
  Wanda Reid: come back.
  Crystal Kohm: Back. Oh.
  Wanda Reid: No.
  Crystal Kohm: Oh yes, cool. Okay, I'm gonna stop playing with the little pointy thing.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: Um okay, so like what it shows is how much things are used relatively and what
  Wanda Reid: Okay.
  Crystal Kohm: you can clearly see from that is the thing that's used most is the channel selection. What you can't see is volume selection, it's a little bit higher than all the others.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm, that's the next one along, yeah?
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah, so what the graph shows is that, you know, power, channel selection and volume selection are important, and the rest of them, you know, nobody really uses
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: and so that's the the numbers along the top represent their like um their importance, you
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: know, so on a scale of one to ten, how important is that and, you know, channel selection and volume selection are absolutely essential, and the power, well it's not quite so essential, apparently, although I don't understand how it couldn't be, um and everything else, I think, you know, you can forget about having those buttons on the remote control, 'cause they're just not needed, and they're not used.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: Okay. This is the bit that the email messed up for Crystal Kohm and that's what I was fiddling about with at the beginning of the thing. Okay, cool. So um okay, so this is what people find annoying about remote controls. Uh that they get lost, that the uh you know, they're not intuitive and that they're bad for repetitive strain injury.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: I think if you're watching enough T_V_ to get repetitive strain injury from um you
  Wanda Reid: The remote
  Crystal Kohm: know, watching
  Wanda Reid: control.
  Crystal Kohm: T_V_, then that's the least of your problems, but you know,
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: it's up there. Um that yeah. Okay, so um I mean the the R_S_I_ thing would be that, like when you have the computer keyboards and you keep your wrists up would be
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: something that encourages you want something with an ergonomic t design that encourages good use of the remote control and
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: you know, not straining your wrists watching T_V_.
  Joan Gjelaj: Hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: Yes. Okay, cool. Right, um sorry this is pink because I was copying and pasting the table, and I didn't have time to white it out again.
  Wanda Reid: That's alright.
  Crystal Kohm: Um okay, but that shows how people whether they would pay more for voice recognition software. So you can see from that that, you know, younger people to the age of thirty five are quite likely to pay quite a lot more f well quite are quite likely to pay more for voice recognition software, whereas as people get older, they're a bit more sceptical about it and they're less willing to to try it. Um so clearly voice recognition is something to think about, but um you know I d I do wonder how well that would work given that a T_V_, you know, tends to be people talking
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: and um, you know, how are you going to stop it from just flipping channels whilst watching T_V_.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: Um okay? Cool. Um okay, so these are my personal preferences. So you have sleek, stylish, sophisticated, you know, so something that's, you know, a bit cool. you know, functional, so it's useful, but minimalist. Um there's a there's an important thing that, you know, people use when, you know, when you're filling up your home, you know, a lot of people fill up their home with bits of crap, basically, you know, and you've got all this stuff, and you're just like, what the hell is that, who is ever gonna use it? You know, so things should either be functional or beautiful or preferably both, so I think we need to aim
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: for both.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: Um okay, then a long battery life, like you were talking about earlier and um, you know, I was thinking that solar power would be quite cool because, you know, your remote control just sits there, and you could just sit it in the sunshine and save the environment a bit. Um and then like a locator, so you know, kind of like you have for a mobile phone or not
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: a mobile phone
  Joan Gjelaj: Some kind
  Wanda Reid: Keys
  Joan Gjelaj: of a ring,
  Wanda Reid: and things
  Joan Gjelaj: some
  Wanda Reid: like
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: that,
  Crystal Kohm: that's it, you know.
  Wanda Reid: Whistle and it
  Crystal Kohm: I know, it's
  Wanda Reid: screams
  Crystal Kohm: weird.
  Wanda Reid: at you,
  Crystal Kohm: My flatmate
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: and I were talking about this on the way into uni this morning and I was like I need to get one for everything. So yeah, so maybe something where you clap and then it beeps, something a kind of sound that you don't often hear on the T_V_,
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: you know, 'cause you don't want your remote control beeping every five minutes, 'cause you you'd then deliberately lose it by throwing it out the window or something. So okay?
  Joan Gjelaj: Hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: Cool. That's Crystal Kohm.
  Wanda Reid: That's you,
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay,
  Wanda Reid: excellent.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Um that's
  Joan Gjelaj: that's great,
  Laurie Ulibarri: very good,
  Joan Gjelaj: thanks.
  Laurie Ulibarri: very interesting.
  Wanda Reid: Um. I'm just gonna tick yes. So, we've got about ten, fifteen minutes to
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: discuss
  Joan Gjelaj: I think one of the very interesting things that came up in um uh Ka Kate
  Crystal Kohm: Cat's.
  Joan Gjelaj: Cat Cat's
  Crystal Kohm: Ca.
  Joan Gjelaj: uh presentation was um uh this this issue of uh uh like voice recognition being more popular with uh younger people. So if we need to have a target group um then uh I think as far as the m motto of our company is concerned, if we want to have something sleek and uh you know, good looking uh we are better off targeting a younger audience then um you know, people who are comparatively elderly. Um.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah, I mean that's the thing is that it didn't say in the survey, you know,
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: whether, you know, these are the people that will pay more for a more stylish remote control, but I'm assuming, you know, yes.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right. Bu
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: but
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: but the survey did say that f things like voice recognition are more popular with them, so if you want to put in something stylish, then uh
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: th it'll certainly be more popular with this i ye with the younger people as compared to older
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: people, yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Then again I guess the th where it was most popular was the fifteen to twenty five bracket
  Joan Gjelaj: Right,
  Wanda Reid: and
  Joan Gjelaj: and
  Wanda Reid: the I don't know how often they're buying televisions.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: Well,
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: that's when you go to uni, isn't it? So,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: you
  Wanda Reid: but you don't
  Crystal Kohm: know
  Wanda Reid: have much money,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: generally.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: I would've
  Laurie Ulibarri: you share
  Wanda Reid: thought it's
  Laurie Ulibarri: a television or something that yeah.
  Wanda Reid: it's more that twenty five to thirty five, when people are really moving out and they've got their first job and they want their nice toys and
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: But uh still, if if you can go back to that slide and
  Wanda Reid: O
  Joan Gjelaj: uh,
  Wanda Reid: oh
  Joan Gjelaj: how
  Wanda Reid: it's
  Crystal Kohm: Oh, I've
  Wanda Reid: on
  Joan Gjelaj: popular
  Wanda Reid: sorry,
  Crystal Kohm: unplugged
  Joan Gjelaj: was
  Wanda Reid: we unplugged
  Joan Gjelaj: it?
  Crystal Kohm: it. Do you want
  Joan Gjelaj: Oh,
  Wanda Reid: it.
  Joan Gjelaj: oh,
  Crystal Kohm: Crystal Kohm to
  Joan Gjelaj: okay.
  Wanda Reid: Here, let Crystal Kohm
  Joan Gjelaj: That's alright, if you can just look it up on your computer,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: wh uh um people between twenty five to thirty five, uh how popular
  Crystal Kohm: Seventy
  Joan Gjelaj: was
  Crystal Kohm: six
  Laurie Ulibarri: It was
  Crystal Kohm: point
  Laurie Ulibarri: seventy
  Joan Gjelaj: so it was
  Crystal Kohm: three
  Joan Gjelaj: sti
  Laurie Ulibarri: something,
  Crystal Kohm: percent.
  Joan Gjelaj: still
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: still quite popular
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: amongst them.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: So even they are seventy six percent, is that high
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: amount?
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: I kn I mean I know what you're saying about the fifteen to twenty five year olds, but I mean it has been proven that that people of that age group have a higher disposable income because they don't have like I mean, you know,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: if
  Wanda Reid: they've
  Crystal Kohm: you're at
  Wanda Reid: got
  Crystal Kohm: university,
  Wanda Reid: no commitments
  Crystal Kohm: you're paying
  Wanda Reid: and
  Crystal Kohm: your rent, but you don't have a mortgage, you don't have a life insurance policy,
  Joan Gjelaj: Alright.
  Wanda Reid: usually
  Crystal Kohm: you don't
  Wanda Reid: not a car and all
  Crystal Kohm: normally
  Wanda Reid: of those
  Crystal Kohm: have
  Wanda Reid: things.
  Crystal Kohm: a car, yeah, so.
  Wanda Reid: Kids.
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: You're
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: still
  Joan Gjelaj: So you're
  Crystal Kohm: learning
  Joan Gjelaj: more
  Crystal Kohm: to drive
  Joan Gjelaj: likely to
  Crystal Kohm: actually,
  Joan Gjelaj: b
  Crystal Kohm: so that just costs more than a car,
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: but yeah. Um so I mean like it is an age group to target, really,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: I think.
  Wanda Reid: and if we're if we're talking twenty five Euros as a price, that's not unaffordable, even for
  Crystal Kohm: No, I mean that's
  Wanda Reid: young
  Crystal Kohm: what,
  Wanda Reid: people.
  Crystal Kohm: that's like fifteen Pounds?
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: You know, I
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah this this
  Crystal Kohm: think
  Laurie Ulibarri: is not unaffordable, but the problem is whether people need it, whether they do have a T_V_ to
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: use its full
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: I d I don't know many people without a T_V_.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: But
  Crystal Kohm: We
  Wanda Reid: do
  Crystal Kohm: didn't
  Wanda Reid: they
  Crystal Kohm: have a T_V_ last year, and everyone thought we were off our heads, you
  Wanda Reid: But
  Crystal Kohm: know.
  Wanda Reid: the T_V_s are often kind of
  Laurie Ulibarri: Common,
  Wanda Reid: someone's
  Laurie Ulibarri: the students
  Wanda Reid: old
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: T_V_
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: that's
  Laurie Ulibarri: The s
  Wanda Reid: blah
  Laurie Ulibarri: the
  Wanda Reid: blah
  Laurie Ulibarri: stu
  Wanda Reid: and
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah, and
  Wanda Reid: be a bit
  Laurie Ulibarri: the
  Wanda Reid: strange
  Laurie Ulibarri: remote control
  Wanda Reid: to have a
  Laurie Ulibarri: might
  Wanda Reid: fancy
  Laurie Ulibarri: not yeah,
  Wanda Reid: rome remote.
  Laurie Ulibarri: it might
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: not even function with the old T_V_.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah, I d
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: well we've we've
  Joan Gjelaj: Bu
  Crystal Kohm: got quite
  Joan Gjelaj: but even
  Crystal Kohm: a d decent
  Joan Gjelaj: even in
  Crystal Kohm: T_V_.
  Joan Gjelaj: the case of twenty five to thirty five it's
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: quite
  Laurie Ulibarri: we're still
  Joan Gjelaj: popular,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: right? So mm uh are
  Laurie Ulibarri: Or
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: w maybe
  Joan Gjelaj: are
  Laurie Ulibarri: we can
  Joan Gjelaj: are
  Laurie Ulibarri: just kind of uh uh
  Crystal Kohm: I think I think the fact that, you know, ninety one point two percent of fifteen to twenty five year olds are saying yes, I would pay more for a voice recognition
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: remote control, does say quite a lot really. You know, so I
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: mean that and the disposable income and I don't think it's something to ignore, you know.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah, but at the same time I think maybe we can we can just decide to to have both of these groups as our
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: target, because actually I mean they're all still
  Crystal Kohm: Is
  Laurie Ulibarri: re young
  Crystal Kohm: not a massive
  Laurie Ulibarri: people.
  Crystal Kohm: difference,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: you know.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: No,
  Wanda Reid: if we
  Crystal Kohm: do
  Wanda Reid: ta if
  Crystal Kohm: totally.
  Wanda Reid: we take
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: fifteen to thirty five, but that
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: then does imply that we should try and incorporate voice recognition. Is that gonna
  Joan Gjelaj: Um
  Wanda Reid: have a an implication
  Joan Gjelaj: I
  Wanda Reid: for the
  Joan Gjelaj: was having a a
  Wanda Reid: technical
  Joan Gjelaj: general
  Wanda Reid: specs?
  Joan Gjelaj: outlook on um m most like sophisticated features, but voice recognition itself I'm not very sure about, because one of the p uh things that Cat pointed out was uh uh how do we go about implementing it?
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Uh and
  Crystal Kohm: You do
  Joan Gjelaj: uh
  Crystal Kohm: have it in your mobile phone though, don't you? Because you have like I mean every
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: mobile phone now has like call this person and
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: it calls them.
  Joan Gjelaj: But how frequently
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: do we use it anyway and um
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: uh h ho how good is it, you know uh voice recognition softwares are still
  Crystal Kohm: I don't know.
  Joan Gjelaj: quite
  Wanda Reid: Yeah. With
  Joan Gjelaj: uh
  Wanda Reid: um
  Laurie Ulibarri: An
  Wanda Reid: but with a T_V_ remote it's gonna be quite limited if we're t saying the main things people want to do is on
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: off channel
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: five,
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: louder,
  Crystal Kohm: S
  Wanda Reid: tha
  Crystal Kohm: so
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: that should be relatively simple.
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay.
  Crystal Kohm: y you'd
  Joan Gjelaj: O
  Crystal Kohm: maybe need a code word. Do you know what I mean?
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: So like when you say change, except that's being said quite a lot on T_V_, so maybe like, you know, remote. I mean how often do people say remote on T_V_?
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Crystal Kohm: Although I only watch Charmed, so really I wouldn't know but like so you'd just say remote five, you
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Crystal Kohm: know, remote ten,
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: remote one two nine.
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay, so it seems
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: like a feasible thing to implement
  Wanda Reid: Yeah, but
  Joan Gjelaj: uh
  Wanda Reid: maybe if you
  Joan Gjelaj: for
  Wanda Reid: wanna look
  Joan Gjelaj: for
  Wanda Reid: into
  Joan Gjelaj: a limited
  Wanda Reid: that just to just
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: to check. Um, so if we go for the the fifteen to thirty five age group
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah but
  Wanda Reid: and
  Laurie Ulibarri: uh
  Wanda Reid: then of course
  Laurie Ulibarri: um
  Wanda Reid: we're going to get th anyone who's older than thirty five who wants to look young and hip and trendy
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: and
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah
  Wanda Reid: has
  Laurie Ulibarri: sure,
  Wanda Reid: the money, then they'll
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah, yeah.
  Wanda Reid: they'll still go for the same
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: advertising.
  Crystal Kohm: I don't think there's a lot of uh voice recognition remote
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: controls.
  Laurie Ulibarri: w well now the v the voice recognition if if it works wonderfully w we could possibly do away with all buttons, but I think this is not really the right moment yet, because people are just so used to buttons and
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: um, yeah it's it's kind
  Wanda Reid: I think
  Laurie Ulibarri: of
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: we need
  Laurie Ulibarri: safer,
  Wanda Reid: both.
  Laurie Ulibarri: so
  Joan Gjelaj: W
  Laurie Ulibarri: we we need both,
  Joan Gjelaj: What
  Laurie Ulibarri: so the voice
  Joan Gjelaj: uh
  Laurie Ulibarri: recognition would be just an extra, it wouldn't really
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: reduce the size of the remote.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Joan Gjelaj: What wh uh what I was thinking is that there is this uh separation between what the channels are on T_V_ and how they are numbered on the remote control. If we can do with away with that, our product can be really popular uh in the sense that uh a person can say, I want to watch uh I_T_V_ one instead of saying that I want to go onto
  Wanda Reid: Uh-huh.
  Joan Gjelaj: channel number forty five.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: Uh-huh.
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: that
  Joan Gjelaj: so
  Crystal Kohm: would be another
  Joan Gjelaj: if
  Crystal Kohm: way
  Joan Gjelaj: uh if
  Crystal Kohm: to do it.
  Joan Gjelaj: something like that can be incorporated,
  Wanda Reid: So that if that was in the the
  Joan Gjelaj: some
  Wanda Reid: voice
  Joan Gjelaj: kind of
  Wanda Reid: recognition, that
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: would be
  Crystal Kohm: but
  Wanda Reid: great.
  Crystal Kohm: then the code word would be even more important, because I mean Sky
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: advertise on every channel, don't
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm-hmm.
  Crystal Kohm: they, you know, so then it would be you'd be watching Charmed, and then the Sky advert would come on and it would change to Sky.
  Wanda Reid: Watch Sky and
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: Alright.
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: yeah, and
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: that
  Joan Gjelaj: that's
  Crystal Kohm: would be really annoying.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm. But that's
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah
  Wanda Reid: definitely
  Laurie Ulibarri: but
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: a
  Laurie Ulibarri: m but on the other
  Wanda Reid: possibility.
  Laurie Ulibarri: hand, remote control isn't as close to you you probably might just just uh speak into it and
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: and the T_V_ would be already further away, so it might not
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: pick up the other things coming
  Crystal Kohm: Do
  Laurie Ulibarri: from
  Crystal Kohm: you not
  Laurie Ulibarri: there.
  Crystal Kohm: think that defeats the object of having voice recognition on a remote control though?
  Wanda Reid: So that you can yell at it,
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah, you know, so
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: you have to have the remote control. It's more like if you lost it and it's down the sofa sometime, you can yell at it and it'll just change it, you can look for it later,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Alright.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah, but then the remote control I think I mean um the idea is kind of it's it's not that it's sitting there on on top of the television, because then you could already yell at the television and you wouldn't you you wouldn't need the remote control, so the remote control is still something you keep n
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: near yourself.
  Crystal Kohm: yeah, I suppose nearer to you but a b like if you have surround sound then
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm
  Wanda Reid: Mm.
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah and it might become very difficult from a distance for the television to understand what you're saying because of the noise
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: factor
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: for the remote control being cl
  Laurie Ulibarri: No, but
  Joan Gjelaj: I
  Laurie Ulibarri: I I
  Joan Gjelaj: mean
  Laurie Ulibarri: I
  Joan Gjelaj: it'll
  Laurie Ulibarri: was
  Joan Gjelaj: it'll
  Laurie Ulibarri: just defending the
  Joan Gjelaj: mm.
  Laurie Ulibarri: the
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: fact why why we want to keep the remote control close to us, a
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: and
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: uh not to yell at it from the distance.
  Joan Gjelaj: Mm.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: So uh wh another thing uh that can be used is that uh there can be a beeper button on the T_V_, so you can go and press that button and
  Wanda Reid: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: um and the remote control, wherever it is, it'll beep, so
  Wanda Reid: That's
  Joan Gjelaj: we we can probably
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay.
  Joan Gjelaj: come to
  Wanda Reid: but
  Joan Gjelaj: know
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: then
  Joan Gjelaj: where
  Wanda Reid: if
  Joan Gjelaj: it
  Wanda Reid: you're
  Joan Gjelaj: is.
  Wanda Reid: buying the remote separately, but y you could have
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh
  Wanda Reid: something,
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah, yeah.
  Wanda Reid: but i if it was something that you could like stick onto the T_V_ or something,
  Joan Gjelaj: Right, yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay,
  Wanda Reid: some
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: like a
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: two p
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: if you bought
  Laurie Ulibarri: mm-hmm.
  Wanda Reid: it in a two part pack, so one part attaches
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah,
  Wanda Reid: to
  Crystal Kohm: 'cause
  Wanda Reid: the T_V_.
  Crystal Kohm: it's it's quite important that you don't lose the the bit
  Wanda Reid: The
  Crystal Kohm: to
  Wanda Reid: l
  Crystal Kohm: locate the remote control.
  Wanda Reid: Well
  Joan Gjelaj: Alright,
  Wanda Reid: that's right,
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: but it solves the problem of having different noises.
  Crystal Kohm: Yeah, definitely, yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah. Okay, I think we're gonna have to wrap this up um. But if we go away with that that kind of general um specification in mind that we're looking at fifteen to thirty five year olds, we want it to look simple, but still have the buttons so it's easy to use, but only those key
  Laurie Ulibarri: The
  Wanda Reid: buttons,
  Laurie Ulibarri: major ones,
  Wanda Reid: the major
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Wanda Reid: buttons and then one sort of menu one, and then voice recognition included as an option
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm-hmm.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: um but that obviously needs a little bit more working out as to whether it's really feasible
  Joan Gjelaj: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: and some of those problems we were mentioning um. What we have to do now is to go back to our little places, complete our questionnaire and some sort of summarisation, which y you'll get immediately by email. Send Crystal Kohm your presentations so that I can use them to make the minutes, and then we've got a lunch break
  Laurie Ulibarri: Mm-hmm.
  Wanda Reid: and after lunch we go back to our own little stations and have thirty minutes more work. Um I'll put the minutes in that project documents folder, but I'll send you an email when I do it, so
  Joan Gjelaj: So
  Wanda Reid: that you know.
  Joan Gjelaj: where
  Wanda Reid: It should
  Joan Gjelaj: exactly
  Wanda Reid: be on your desktop,
  Joan Gjelaj: is this i
  Wanda Reid: so on the
  Joan Gjelaj: Ah, okay.
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: So I'll put it I'll put them there as soon as I've written
  Laurie Ulibarri: Did you
  Wanda Reid: them.
  Laurie Ulibarri: find it? It's
  Joan Gjelaj: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: just
  Joan Gjelaj: yeah
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Joan Gjelaj: in that
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: one, right yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah, and email them round.
  Crystal Kohm: Oh, so y you want our um PowerPoint presentations in there,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Crystal Kohm: hey?
  Wanda Reid: that would be great.
  Crystal Kohm: Okay.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Oh so so we'll just put
  Wanda Reid: Oh
  Laurie Ulibarri: them
  Wanda Reid: yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: i there,
  Wanda Reid: put them
  Laurie Ulibarri: we
  Wanda Reid: in
  Laurie Ulibarri: we
  Wanda Reid: there.
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah,
  Wanda Reid: Yeah,
  Laurie Ulibarri: w
  Crystal Kohm: There
  Laurie Ulibarri: we
  Crystal Kohm: you go.
  Laurie Ulibarri: won't
  Wanda Reid: then you don't
  Laurie Ulibarri: even
  Wanda Reid: have to
  Laurie Ulibarri: okay.
  Wanda Reid: email them.
  Crystal Kohm: But is everyone's called functional requirements?
  Wanda Reid: No,
  Joan Gjelaj: No.
  Wanda Reid: they're all called something slightly different. Technical requirements
  Crystal Kohm: Okay,
  Wanda Reid: and something something,
  Crystal Kohm: so that's good.
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Crystal Kohm: That's
  Wanda Reid: So,
  Crystal Kohm: Crystal Kohm done.
  Wanda Reid: if you put them in there, we'll all be able to see them and refer to them if we need to.
  Crystal Kohm: Okay, cool.
  Wanda Reid: Um as to where we're going from here, you're going to look at the components concept.
  Joan Gjelaj: Right.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah? Whatever that means.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Yeah.
  Wanda Reid: Yeah.
  Joan Gjelaj: I guess I'll find out.
  Wanda Reid: You'll be looking you'll be looking at the user interface
  Laurie Ulibarri: Uh something
  Wanda Reid: concept,
  Laurie Ulibarri: conceptual, yeah.
  Wanda Reid: on something conceptual and you're watching trends to see how we go and surely voice recognition'll fall off the map or something that um we'll
  Joan Gjelaj: Wha
  Wanda Reid: keep keep
  Joan Gjelaj: what
  Wanda Reid: our
  Joan Gjelaj: was
  Wanda Reid: options
  Joan Gjelaj: it again
  Wanda Reid: op hmm?
  Joan Gjelaj: that I was supposed to look into? Con
  Wanda Reid: Components,
  Joan Gjelaj: components, oh.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Hmm. Sorry, but
  Wanda Reid: yeah.
  Laurie Ulibarri: um the next meeting um are we going to have it um right after lunch or shall
  Wanda Reid: No,
  Laurie Ulibarri: we prepare
  Wanda Reid: we have
  Laurie Ulibarri: our
  Wanda Reid: we have after lunch we have thirty minutes
  Laurie Ulibarri: To
  Wanda Reid: to
  Laurie Ulibarri: prepare,
  Wanda Reid: ourselves
  Laurie Ulibarri: okay,
  Wanda Reid: to prepare,
  Laurie Ulibarri: yeah, that's
  Wanda Reid: so
  Laurie Ulibarri: good.
  Wanda Reid: that's fine, w before lunch we just have to complete the questionnaire and some sort of summary.
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay.
  Wanda Reid: Okay? Right
  Laurie Ulibarri: Cool.
  Wanda Reid: on time. Okay, so you can I guess we'll see you for lunch in
  Laurie Ulibarri: Okay,
  Wanda Reid: a sec?
  Laurie Ulibarri: see you.
Updated Content: Wanda Reid opens the meeting by stating that they will address functional design and then going over the agenda. Joan Gjelaj gives his presentation, explaining how remote controls function and giving personal preference to a clear, simple design that upgrades the technology as well as incorporates the latest features in chip design. The interface specialist gives her presentation next, addressing the main purpose of a remote control. She pinpoints the main functions of on/off, channel-switching, numbers for choosing particular channels, and volume; and also suggests adding a menu button to change settings such as brightness on the screen. She gives preference to a remote that is small, easy to use, and follows some conventions. The group briefly discusses the possibility of using an LCD screen if cost allows it, since it is fancy and fashionable. Crystal Kohm presents, giving statistical information from a survey of 100 subjects. She prefers a remote that is sleek, stylish, sophisticated, cool, beautiful, functional, solar-powered, has long battery life, and has a locator. They discuss the target group, deciding it should be 15-35 year olds. After they talk about features they might include, Wanda Reid closes the meeting by allocating tasks.
