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