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