what did the group discuss about the emphasis on the basic function and function extendibility ?[SEP] <s>user interface: marketing: user interface: mm uh . marketing: we 're the first . user interface: mm . we 're the first ones . marketing: marketing expert , yes . project manager: mm . marketing: project manager: so you found your spots . marketing: yes . user interface: move to the meeting room . marketing: bling bling . yeah . user interface: okay . marketing: right . project manager: okay . marketing: uh where has my screen gone ? industrial designer: hi . user interface: hello , good day . marketing: industrial designer: oh yeah , we have to talk in english , marketing: hmm . industrial designer: huh . user interface: yep . marketing: yeah . my screen is gone . project manager: it 's called black . marketing: oh . user interface: kick-off meeting , wow . it 's uh looks uh nice . industrial designer: i 'm afraid i 'm a bit slow for this stuff uh . project manager: okay . user interface: hmm ? marketing: industrial designer: i 'm afraid i 'm a bit too slow . i do n't know how much preparation you guys did , user interface: yeah . industrial designer: but not a lot . marketing: yeah . user interface: no , it 's it was uh not enough . project manager: you see this beautiful presentation . marketing: yeah . very nice . project manager: okay let 's get started . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh i sort of prepared this . user interface: project manager: uh opening acquaintance , tool training , uh how to use the things here . uh project plan discussion , and yeah then the rest of the meeting . marketing: mm . industrial designer: mm-hmm . project manager: um we 're supposed to develop a new remote control , that 's both original , trendy and user-friendly . so , marketing: project manager: hope you have good ideas . i do n't . user interface: i did my best . project manager: um we 're work we 're working uh from top to bottom . uh functional design , industrial designer: not yet . project manager: then we do some in individual work , then we have a meeting to discuss the results , etcetera etcetera . and at the end of the day we should have a prototype drawn up . uh we have available the smart board and the whiteboard . um uh we should take some practice . i have some instructions now to do that . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh well you know how to the documents work . so uh this for toolbar . you see it next . um we have a pen . and we can use this pen to perform . user interface: marketing: project manager: yes . industrial designer: operations . project manager: so user interface: project manager: it does n't always work . yes . marketing: yeah . project manager: okay so you can draw . marketing: draw . alright . project manager: okay and in the format menu you can select colour and line width , etcetera etcetera . okay ? marketing: 'kay . project manager: uh okay . each of you can uh take some practice and you should draw an animal . uh you should explain uh with different colours and with different pen widths . user interface: industrial designer: project manager: and you should explain why you draw that particular animal . user interface: okay . marketing: do n't take up too much space . project manager: so , julian . user interface: um yeah . industrial designer: different pen widths , how do you do that ? user interface: project manager: uh with the format menu . industrial designer: oh okay . project manager: and use different colours etcetera . user interface: it 's a giraffe . yeah . project manager: and what 's that supposed to be ?

or project manager: yeah . marketing: so y you must save it at the end project manager: yeah marketing: and then project manager: you can press the next button , which is uh yeah . i 'll show you . user interface: that 's some spots . industrial designer: i in the file option menu . project manager: yeah . in file menu . marketing: okay , user interface: no . marketing: then m make a new one . user interface: industrial designer: how much time do we have to draw anyway ? project manager: yeah . user interface: industrial designer: 'cause i can take forever on this . project manager: user interface: okay . do i have to explain uh why i chose this uh this animal ? project manager: yeah . user interface: i think it 's a it 's a great animal . project manager: what is it ? industrial designer: marketing: user interface: it 's a it 's a giraffe . project manager: a giraffe okay . yeah i see a long neck user interface: yeah , that 's a project manager: but marketing: it 's more like a dinosaur . user interface: um okay i 'll will give it an uh an eye . project manager: okay . that 's nice of you . marketing: uh . user interface: hey . come on . marketing: some leaf to eat . user interface: project manager: okay . yeah pretty good . uh could you press the next uh user interface: the next ?

project manager: yeah sorry , introduction and get acquainted marketing: uh project manager: and industrial designer: alright . project manager: that 's the idea , so industrial designer: uh . your line broke . marketing: yeah . alright . user interface: project manager: yeah it 's a bit slow , marketing: it 's not that fast . project manager: so marketing: yeah . project manager: yeah . marketing: i see . it misses the spot . project manager: pressure . industrial designer: i 'm guessing a turtle . no . i 'm kidding . marketing: i say good guess . uh project manager: why a turtle ? industrial designer: because of its shell . marketing: because it 's slow . project manager: it 's slow . user interface: 'cause it 's so project manager: you were slow too user interface: 'cause it 's green . project manager: so marketing: yeah i was a bit slow too . industrial designer: dude you 're a good drawer . marketing: so uh some other line uh width uh industrial designer: do you have a turtle pet ?

industrial designer: yeah . project manager: okay um industrial designer: project manager: we have a financial aspect to this project . um we can sell them at twenty five euros . uh the aim is to reach uh uh to sell as much as fifty million euros . uh that 's quite a big amount of money . and the production cost should be the half of the selling price . okay industrial designer: so we have to s project manager: now it 's time for some discussion . user interface: okay . project manager: uh user interface: what uh what uh do you want to discuss ? project manager: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: we should get started . user interface: yep . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh i 'm taking notes . um marketing: okay . great . project manager: we each have a specific task , as i saw in my mail . i did n't know if you received the same mail . industrial designer: mm-hmm . marketing: yeah . project manager: yeah ? industrial designer: i guess so . yeah . marketing: yeah . project manager: okay so the um uh this industrati industrial designer should produce a working design . am i correct ? industrial designer: true . project manager: okay . uh the user interface designer should specify the technical functions . right ? yeah ? user interface: yep . project manager: and the marketing uh expert should come up with user requirements . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh did any of you already do some work on this part or industrial designer: well i started making an overview for myself , um what i had to do , 'cause we have three design steps and in every step i have a s specific task to perform or whatever . project manager: mm-hmm . mm-hmm . industrial designer: so i had to uh , i dunno , make an overview for myself about what i have to do , project manager: mm-hmm . industrial designer: and kind of let it work in to get ideas about well how i have to fill it . project manager: mm-hmm . and do you have any ideas about the product uh so far ? industrial designer: well i started i started with the first phase , i think was the functional . project manager: mm-hmm . industrial designer: and uh let 's see i had to focus on the working design , which you said . project manager: mm-hmm . industrial designer: how does the apparatus work ? and well i basically had two points . uh according to the coffee uh machine example , i have batteries to supply energy , project manager: yeah . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: and we ye use button presses to activate or deactivate certain functions on the tv . project manager: mm-hmm . okay . industrial designer: and that 's basically all i have so far . project manager: yeah i got another point . it uses infrared light to communicate the signal to the tv apparatus or stereo . user interface: yeah . wireless uh huh . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: alright . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . marketing: so that 's very common . user interface: uh it 's uh some buttons for for the on off function . you d you already told that . and for the changing up to the to all the channels and changing the volume . that are the the basic options for a remote control . industrial designer: yeah . yeah i kept it global 'cause that it activates or deactivates specific functions , user interface: okay , yeah . industrial designer: 'cause i was n't thinking yet about that . i mean , you wan na ch ch flip the channel user interface: yeah . industrial designer: but you might wan na use teletext also . user interface: yep . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: i dunno what the word is in english . uh project manager: same i believe . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh and what did the marketing expert do ? marketing: uh well from a marketing uh perspective , um well the function des design phase uh consists out of the user requirements . project manager: mm-hmm . marketing: um what needs and desires are to be fulfilled ? so there are a few means to reach that um by by doing research uh to see what existing products are there out in the market . project manager: mm-hmm . marketing: i mean , what functions do they have . project manager: mm . marketing: um especially what are their shortcomings ? are there any new functions uh which can be added to our product ? project manager: mm-hmm . mm-hmm . marketing: um therefore we have to to do some internet search . for example for um well what kind of applications do current remote controls support , and what are f featur features of uh current and future televisions ? project manager: yep . yes . marketing: so we can see uh what needs to be supported . um and we can interview current users and future users . what w what would they like to see uh on a new remote control ? um especially for future users , project manager: okay . okay . marketing: uh i 'm thinking of early adopters , because they they use new technology first , project manager: mm-hmm . marketing: and they play with a lot of tools and stuff so maybe they have some good ideas to uh to add . project manager: okay . and you can get that information ? marketing: i think i can get that information , yeah . project manager: okay . that would be very handy . marketing: so yeah . project manager: um but have you any idea so far as what uh the user requirements are ? marketing: no n not specifically . project manager: no ? marketing: more to how to get them project manager: no okay . user interface: i got some uh requirements marketing: and project manager: yeah ? user interface: it has uh it has to be user-friendly . marketing: yeah ? project manager: of course . industrial designer: yeah . obviously . marketing: yeah . user interface: uh really easy to use buttons , not not uh very small buttons , but not the the also the big big buttons , but just normal buttons . it has to be a small unit . it has to be uh yeah , you can take it with you uh everywhere in in your house . so it has n has not to be l yeah , gigantic uh machine . project manager: big , mm-hmm . marketing: yeah . user interface: uh and a and a good uh zapping range . project manager: uh what do you mean by that ? user interface: uh the distance uh from your television to your uh remote control has to be , uh yeah um yeah , quite a big distance . marketing: yeah . user interface: it has to be capable for zapping uh marketing: yeah . from the other end of the room or something ? user interface: yeah . marketing: yeah . project manager: okay um well i do n't think i have anything more to add at the moment . um i think the best is to go to work . industrial designer: whoa . is that you project manager: yeah . industrial designer: or alright . project manager: okay . marketing: any more points to discuss ? project manager: yeah . i think we can go ahead with what we have . i will summarise the things we discussed and put it in the project folder . uh the use of the industrial designer can work on the working design , etcetera etcetera . and it seems you get more information by email . so marketing: alright . industrial designer: alright . project manager: that was it for me . user interface: okay . marketing: 'kay . thanks . project manager: uh user interface: are you going to put the the notes on the project manager: yeah , in the project folder . yeah . marketing: yeah . the pro okay . user interface: okay . project manager: i 'm writing very fast . industrial designer: alright . user interface: yeah . marketing: yeah . okay . project manager: hope it 's readable . user interface: yep . marketing: uh . project manager: okay um anything more you want to add to the discussion ? marketing: i guess so . industrial designer: well no i 'm just a bit wondering what we 're gon na do the next uh session ? user interface: yeah . do we only have to to do uh phase one , the functional design uh ? project manager: yeah . because then we have a user interface: after that we are going to the conceptual uh project manager: yeah . marketing: yeah . project manager: y you do some individual work , marketing: we 're just working the three phases . project manager: we have meeting , individual work , meeting . and at the end of the day we have a final meeting . and then i have to prepare uh i have to defend our design , user interface: project manager: so make it good . industrial designer: yeah okay . we 'll do our best . marketing: okay . project manager: i depend on you . user interface: okay . marketing: better make it industrial designer: i am gon na work on the conceptual design already 'cause yeah it 's fairly important to know what kind of components we want to put in . project manager: yeah ? if you can mix it it 's okay . mm-hmm . yeah . industrial designer: do we i mean , is it gon na be a multimedia control centre ? do we want to be able to use the video recorder with it ? marketing: yeah . that is my question also project manager: yeah . marketing: because like new new functions project manager: well i think that is the user requirements part . marketing: requirements . yeah . project manager: as to what they want . uh do they want all those functions on that small industrial designer: yeah . true . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: but but we need good communication about this stuff , marketing: unit . project manager: yeah . industrial designer: 'cause i have to f put the components into the design . marketing: yeah . project manager: mm-hmm . user interface: i would first m industrial designer: so if i do n't know what components to put in , it 's kind of hard . marketing: yeah well project manager: yeah i understand . marketing: i i was user interface: yeah . i i think we have first to start with the basic functions and we can uh expand them . marketing: yeah project manager: you can always add a few marketing: well like l li like some like some some remotes who are out there , which i know , there 's one button which is very easy to switch between devices . project manager: yeah . marketing: so you can switch to your video project manager: hmm , marketing: and then the same buttons control your video . project manager: the c_d_ player . yeah . user interface: yeah . marketing: and another function i 'll think of switch to your media centre , because that 's getting very popular . industrial designer: yeah so marketing: and then use your windows media centre under your tv with the same remote control . so with the switch , one single switch project manager: yeah . industrial designer: okay . project manager: okay . industrial designer: yeah i i know what you mean , but you 'll ne need several other buttons for a video player . marketing: s project manager: mm-hmm . industrial designer: you need a play and a forw fast forward and a stop function . marketing: yeah project manager: okay . industrial designer: and you you do n't need that for a tv . marketing: records and stuff like that . industrial designer: and and for a t uh teletext you need additional buttons as well , marketing: no . project manager: you need additional yeah . user interface: yeah . project manager: yeah . industrial designer: so i kind of need to know what we uh need . marketing: yeah . project manager: uh marketing: yeah . industrial designer: whatever , i 'll just put my ideas in uh in here project manager: yeah . industrial designer: and then we can discuss it with the next uh meeting . marketing: in the project uh project manager: yeah . marketing: yeah . project manager: we could just start with the assumption that 's only for tv and video . and um reserve the possibility to add other features . industrial designer: okay . project manager: so we have a basic starting point industrial designer: okay . project manager: and you can always extend that so make sure it 's extendible . yeah . user interface: yeah it it has yeah it has to be user-friendly . industrial designer: alright . marketing: yeah . user interface: so it 's has n't it 's yeah . project manager: th the least amount of functions possible user interface: yeah . project manager: so it 's easier to get to know how it works etcetera . user interface: okay . yeah . industrial designer: yeah . i understand . yeah . marketing: yeah . project manager: yeah ? okay and uh i 'll see you again uh when the computer tells us to . industrial designer: alright . marketing: yes . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: yeah , you 're di dismissed . user interface: can we leave now marketing: half an hour . user interface: or industrial designer: thanks . marketing: you 're fired . project manager: not yet . marketing: no . user interface: mm . industrial designer: alright . project manager: okay . marketing: alright let 's move on . project manager: let 's see what we got to do . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: see you later . project manager: yeah . user interface: okay . marketing: yeah see you later . user interface: good luck . project manager: yeah . thank you . marketing: well good luck . industrial designer: what the </s> [SEP]what did the group discuss about the emphasis on the basic function and function extendibility ?
industrial designer asked whether the remote control would be a multimedia product . marketing also hoped to know the answer , for the team would have to decide what functions to incorporate in the remote control . project manager suggested that the team should first have a basic starting point and extend to other functions in the following meetings .
