Marketing: But It also asked if we would if people would pay more for speech recognition and younger people say they would And there was another section on our on the report for LCD displays but the data was not there so I do not actually know what the results for that were so May be incrementally emitting but
Project Manager: I must say that the I c can not remember what f you know phone service I was using the other day but that had sorta speech recognition which worked remarkably well so that is indeed a a thought
Marketing: And it would cut out the RSI as well if you
Project Manager: and it it cuts out I was was going to say you can not get a lot of RSI j just get jaw ache sorry
Marketing: oh so possibly the speech recognition is possibly something could add into the design Oh I have got some other things I could not fit onto this presentation You see this ? Almost no ? It is sorry it is a bit I will read out to you functionality like peoples opinions on functionality the relevance to the remote and how often they are used So like the power Using the using the d swi the power switch to switch on TV is a high relevance of nine but it is not frequently used You see what I mean ? Whereas channel selection which is very high relevance is used the most So m we can maybe even start to cut down on or I was possibly even thinking of a design that maybe some of the buttons are hidden from everyday use Maybe like a folding ledge or something So that we can maybe go into the channel settings and the audio settings and rarely used And keep the v volume selection and channel selection very easily
User Interface: It could be oh I was just going to say maybe like the flip phones that they use ? Have you seen the new mo mobile phones that flip out and they have the like texting and then the numbers on one side you could have the most used buttons on top and flip it out or something
Marketing: like the one that like slides back
Project Manager: Should we actually bite the bullet here ?
Marketing: and the buttons are concealed underneath
Project Manager: If people really do not use those buttons to any extent at all remove them altogether
Marketing: Just remove them completely ?
Project Manager: We we could actually have we could actually have a remote control with I wonder whether we could get the remote control with no buttons at all if we went for voice recognition given that the now the the age structure we were looking at I mean w we had usage by age structure what we did not have was what proportion of people using remotes were in those particular age groups Now do we know whether they Forty no sorry for forty five to fifty five age group to put myself right in the middle of it you use remote controls to a great extent
Marketing: no this is for pay more for speech recognition
Project Manager: That would ve speech recogn right So we are looking at well again we do not know the relative proportion the relative numbers in the age groups If we wanted something different truly different then the buttonless remote control w would be it
Industrial Designer: P Well the only problem I can think of with that is if you have got a lot of people that do not want to be bothered learning how to use new rem remote controls If you just kind of take away everything that they are used to knowing that is going to be quite a change
Project Manager: But if you just lift it up and say channel one or BBC
Marketing: Or even I mean you could even just have it left on You could just put it down once on top your TV and never have to
User Interface: have a big kind of like the satellite box or the cable box and have it just go on the TV and then it does not matter where in the room you are you will not lose it
Project Manager: It c well it I can I can see technical problems with that in terms of the you know the sound from the television because if somebody actually on the television says you know ITV and you are watching BBC then then it might change itself so it probably needs to be possibly actually need a button on it Or or something just to identify that you have lifted it up and it is use And and then just say oh I do not know a thought and and then I mean that that would certainly be truly different because you know audio settings nought point eight percent I mean if they were not there would people miss them ?
Industrial Designer: But look at the importance of them The volume settings
Marketing: Relevance of two out of ten
Industrial Designer: They are not used often but they are quite important when they are used
Project Manager: w we need to s identify things that people actually need and and it is a function of frequency and relevance And I would say ignoring ig ignoring power for the moment the channel and volume and th w w given given that we have been told to ignore teletext channel and volume are the only ones that would appear to be essential So if we can design something that that looks interesting know or looks different incorporates the the logo and and the colours and we can still have our interchangeable fascias even if it is the yellow and grey and I do not know buttons or or buttons as an option
Marketing: I just had a thought actually sorry to interrupt you were saying about it could technical problems of like someone on the television saying a channel number and it changed we could maybe have like an activation word Because I have seen I have seen this used on computers before where you just you address the remote you address the computer and then give it a command
Project Manager: if we want to make this so simple that anybody can walk into the room and lift it up and say
Marketing: Oh I see Oh I see
Project Manager: BBC one I mean you could print actually print it on the
Marketing: I mean I am just thinking of the point of view of peop you could still like lose this remote
Project Manager: S th this I th that is always going to be a problem I think and I I I s so I suppose one could make it so desirable that if people lose it they immediately go out and buy another one Anyway sorry carry on Do you want to just carry on with no no no b I was in the middle of in the middle of your report there
Marketing: sorry Oh well I was just kind of wrapping up there I was thinking maybe such things are relevant We could make things much more f I think the the eighty percent of people would spend more on a remote that looks better combined with decrease the or take out the limited functio functions that we do not really use much alright take out teletext but as for channel settings and stuff it might it might turn people somewhe peop some people that want the whole functionality away But since if we are marketing a more kind of fashionable approach then it would it would be fashion and fashion over practicality
Project Manager: Mmhmm S s we could we could make it dual function voice recognition and still have buttons on it | Marketing proposed to apply speech recognition and suggested that some of the buttons could be hidden from everyday use. Project Manager agreed and proposed to get the remote control with no buttons but later rejected the idea and supposed that dual functions could be used. |

knight: haha thats funny where are you from sir
a captured knight: I was placed at Camelot for a time, but it was a very silly place, so I headed out in search of adventure! Which, perhaps, was not my *best* plan...
knight: I see I after the grail myself I could use a companion
a captured knight: Y-you too seek the Grail? I did not think any other was questing. Well, I heard of one so called King, but he had no horse, only pranced about with coconuts, so I wasn't sure whether to take any stock in it.
knight: I do I think its gonna be our salvation

Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you We are going to move on to explore some of the issues around social services now with questions from Dawn Bowden
Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Chair Morning Minister When the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru came in they were saying to us that they would encourage people to report any instances anything that they see around somebody smacking a child That leads on to the question about whether in fact social services then would change their thresholds for intervention if there were more cases being referred to them Are you fairly confident are you certain that that would not happen or do you think there is a danger that social services might actually say Well actually if we are getting all these referrals we need to think again about when and if we intervene and the thresholds could become a bit lower ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well as you know social services already receive and investigate reports of children being physically punished—any sort of range of physical punishment—and they use standard procedures to determine how to proceed but that is done on a casebycase basis it is made on the individual case element And of course there is a distinction between reasonable punishment and child neglect or abuse And if this legislation is enacted a significant proportion of the incidents of physical punishment will not require any response under the child protection procedures and we do not expect the threshold of significant harm to change And I know you took evidence from the ADSS and I know Sally Jenkins gave evidence who is one of the lead practitioners and I understood she said : In terms of thresholds for childrens services we would not be anticipating a huge number of referrals to us There may be a small number of referrals that come through What we know from other nations is that it will peak and then settle We recognise that is likely to happen So I think—
Dawn Bowden AM: So it is the threshold for intervention that is the key really is not it rather than— ?
Julie Morgan AM: Yes they do not see that changing
Dawn Bowden AM: So they do not see that changing
Julie Morgan AM: No no And we do not see that changing
Dawn Bowden AM: that is fine The police when they came in to give evidence talked about the need for the multiagency safeguarding hubs And what we also heard is that it is a bit inconsistent across the country And I think you acknowledged that as well Do you think the implementation of the Bill and its effectiveness is going to be dependent on us having consistently effective multiagency safeguarding hubs right the way across the country ?
Julie Morgan AM: No The effective implementation of the Bill does not depend on MASHs as we call them for short because bodies social services already work closely with the police on a daytoday basis really and they have indicated their willingness to do so and there are already wellestablished mechanisms in place that enable this joint working to take place I know that the MASHs are only in certain areas and I know that it is— I think they are probably very good to have actually and very good to help the work but it is certainly not dependent on them
Dawn Bowden AM: but it would be something that you would be wanting to see developed that eventually we would have these MASHs right across the country ?
Julie Morgan AM: At the moment there are three MASHs in the south Wales police force and one pilot MASH in the Gwent police force but they do not operate in exactly the same way And I know that other areas have considered having MASHs but have not actually brought any in And a multiagency strategic group which is led by South Wales Police has been set up and it will consider the effectiveness of MASH arrangements in Wales so it is very possible there will be more MASHs but I want to reiterate that we are not dependent on MASHs in order to have the close working But they are welcome—very welcome
Dawn Bowden AM: Yes because the key point from the polices point of view I think was that they provide a single point of contact so it is very simple is not it ? It is a single point of contact and I think they were quite concerned that having that single point of contact might actually reduce the level of unnecessary police prosecutions—well the police do not prosecute but charges and so on So it was just a point that they were raising
Julie Morgan AM: I think they are very effective and very much to be welcomed but it is certainly not essential
Karen Cornish: I was just going to say that it is probably worth saying that looking at how agencies work together will be one of the things again that will be looked at very carefully on the task and finish group looking at processes and procedures We are very alert to the fact that there are different organisations different services and that bringing them together working in as consistent a way as possible is really really important As the Minister has said social services the police and others are already committed to working together and actually we just want to make sure that we develop those working practices in the best way possible recognising that not every area will have a MASH and reiterating again what the Deputy Minister has said—that the effectiveness of the Bill is not predicated on a MASH in every area but it is important that all those organisations do work together in a consistent and appropriate way
Dawn Bowden AM: that is fine Thank you very much The other response that we have received is from social workers And they have talked about the fact that the social workers workload is already very stretched and you will be aware of that Minister And I think they were getting a little bit concerned about whether a whole raft of new cases are going to land on what is an already extremely heavy workload and how effectively they could deal with that Would you say that those concerns in terms of the impact of this Bill are unfounded or are we just saying that this is an unknown quantity at this stage and we are going to have to wait and see ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well first of all if I can just pay tribute to the work that social workers do Because obviously they are going to be essential to the successful implementation of this Bill I was a social worker myself so I am very happy to pay tribute to them Laughter But they do do a hard job which is not always recognised I think by the public So I do take this point very seriously but obviously the professionals who have given evidence—many of them have said they do not see there being a big rise of referrals Jane Randall National Independent Safeguarding Board—I think she came to you—said : there is no expectation that there is going to be a huge increase in the number of referrals…I think it would be dealt with within their existing resources I mean there may be an increase in reporting of incidents initially maybe from individuals in the community and organisations such as schools And I think it could have an impact on the initial stages of social services activity which I think others—I think Sally Jenkins said that maybe there would be an increase a small increase at the beginning But as we expect the awareness raising and the ongoing support that we will be giving to parents—we do feel that the incidents of physical punishment will be falling over time And we do not really see that there will be an increase But I know that social workers are stretched and are hardpressed—and I think that was some of the evidence given to you by the British Association of Social Workers But I think it is important to remember that they are also very strongly in support of us carrying out this legislation But it is important to look at the realities and the practicalities So we are going to work very closely with social services—obviously key members of our implementation group—and we will collect relevant data for a period before the actual implementation in order to get a baseline We want a baseline and we are working with a small number of social services to try to get the baseline of where it is and to see what happens when the Bill is implemented The evidence from other countries is that they certainly have not been overwhelmed There have been reports in New Zealand that they have not been overwhelmed and I mentioned Ireland earlier So I do not think really we have to fear that social services would be overwhelmed but we must be prepared and we must get this data and monitor it closely
Dawn Bowden AM: And I guess things will level out in due course And social services clearly having to make judgments every day—they will be making those judgments quite quickly and turning them around The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service when they spoke to us also had—there was a similar kind of concern raised They did say that they felt that they probably did have adequate resources to support the Bill But do you think there is any danger at all that it could divert CAFCASS staff if we have a high volume of reporting particularly given that we have got a 26week limit in which to deal with those cases ? Is that something that causes you any concern at this stage ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well CAFCASS are confident that they can deal with the cases that they have As you know there is been a big increase in the numbers that CAFCASS is dealing with already and they have managed to very successfully cope with the demand So I have got every confidence that they will be able to cope with it
Dawn Bowden AM: Because they were basically just saying that it is unpredictable at this stage were not they so— ?
Julie Morgan AM: Yes It is unpredictable Our best views are that it will not—
Dawn Bowden AM: Yes because they were talking about the fact that no assessment had been made about the risk of malicious reporting We talked about that in a number of sessions with the police and so on So I think their biggest concern was more about the rise in lookedafter children and the impact on that in terms of their workload and it was just a question of whether this would potentially divert any resources I guess
Julie Morgan AM: I think in terms of the malicious reporting obviously that is something that happens a lot now and it is is likely that perhaps— I think they felt that in existing cases this might be another element that should be brought in but they seemed in my discussions fairly confident I know they appeared before the committee and they are coping very well But obviously another area we are very concerned about is the rise in the number of lookedafter children and that is somewhere we want to try to do what we can to bring that down
Lynne Neagle AM: thank you Just before Suzy comes in with a supplementary—CAFCASS did not come to the committee they have submitted—
Julie Morgan AM: They sent a letter—that is right Yes sorry about that
Suzy Davies AM: Just very quickly because I do not want to spend a lot of time on this : is not it going to be true that any increase in workload for social services or schools or whoever is going to depend on reporting rising ? Where do you see the likely rise in reporting taking place ? Will it be members of the public or is it going to be professionals who feel that this is something that they can not ignore from now on ?
Julie Morgan AM: well I think it would be mixed I do not have any view or where it particularly would come from because if there are any reports that go into agencies now about children being physically punished in any way—I think they investigate those already now But I suppose members of the public might report if they see any physical punishment going on They would be made much more aware we hope by the legislation—so that may happen But I think in schools if there is physical punishment reported by a child the schools would report it in any case But I think it is likely that there will be a small rise
Suzy Davies AM: I was just curious about where you thought the main source would be—
Julie Morgan AM: I can not really be definitive about that
Lynne Neagle AM: The next questions are from Siân Gwenllian | Julie Morgan answered questions about the bill's impact on other agencies, including the social service, MASHs, CAFCASS. Morgan emphasized the dependence of their work as well as the feasibility of workload changed by the bill. |
#Person1#: I like the Honda Accord you showed me before. I think it's more practical for my needs.
#Person2#: Alright, sir. You are making a good choice. Honda has made a lot of design improvements in the new Accord.
#Person1#: What does it come with standard?
#Person2#: On all our new cars, the standards includeair conditioning, anti-lock brakes, air bags, and an AM/FM stereo with a CD player. But on the Accord, there is another standard item as well. The Accord com
#Person1#: Cruise control? I don't like that.
#Person2#: Why not, sir?
#Person1#: I think it's dangerous. What if I can't turn it off?
#Person2#: Well, sir, I know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control. But Honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction that led to an accident.
#Person1#: I wish it didn't have cruise control. My wife doesn't like it either.
#Person2#: You know, sir, you don't have to use it. You can turn it on or off. If you don't want to use it, you just never turn it on.
#Person1#: I suppose. And what about the sunroof? Is that standard?
#Person2#: No, the sunroof is optional, sir.
#Person1#: I see. Another important question is the time I can get this car. I need a new car rather soon.
#Person2#: Well, I can say that the new models will be here in August. If you order one now, we will have it for you in August.
#Person1#: That's good enough, I think. What colors does the new Accord come in?
#Person2#: We have this new model in red, white, black, or silver. These are the standard colors. Of course you could specially order from various other colors too.
#Person1#: My brother has last year's Accord. And his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver. I really like that color. I wonder if I can get that color on my Accord.
#Person2#: I know the color you mean. Is this it, sir?
#Person1#: Yes, I think that's it. Can I get that on the Accord?
#Person2#: Yes, you can. That color is very popular with Honda buyers. So we've kept it available.
#Person1#: Well, I think I want to order the new Accord then. It looks like an excellent car.
#Person2#: You have made a good choice, sir. I drive an Accord myself. They are very solidly built machines, very reliable.
#Person1#: Yes, I know. I think Honda is the most reliable car on the road. I would never change to anything else. The Honda I have now almost never has service problems. It runs smooth as silk.
#Person2#: Alright, sir. I will get the paperwork ready for you. Just a moment. | #Person2# introduces the Honda Accord car with standards including air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, airbags, AM/FM stereo, and cruise control to #Person1#. #Person2# persuades #Person1# to accept cruise control. #Person1# decides to buy the new model with a soft purple mixed with silver color. |
#Person1#: Hi, George. I'm going to have a job interview next week. Could you give me some advice?
#Person2#: Sure. First of all, it ' s very important for you not to be late. Job interviewers usually don ' t think very highly of a candidate who arrives ten minutes after the appointed time, only to explain that he could not find the place or that there was heavy traffic.
#Person1#: Yeah, that's very important.
#Person2#: So you ' d better explore the place the day before and at the same time, look around to see what the employees are wearing. So the next day you will arrive early for the appointment.
#Person1#: I ' ll try my best to make a good impression on the interviewer.
#Person2#: That ' s right. You need to create a good image in a limited time, usually about 30 to 45 minutes.
#Person1#: It ' s always easier to say something than to do it.
#Person2#: It ' s not too difficult to make a good impression. For example, you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed. Avoid the extremes of a too elaborate or too casual style. This will put you on the same level as other applicants and make the interviewer consider more important qualifications.
#Person1#: But I love wearing T-shirts and jeans.
#Person2#: I advise you not to wear a too casual style when going to an interview. Informal clothes as well as torn jeans and dirty shoes convey the impression that you are not serious about the job, or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes.
#Person1#: It ' s a pity that I cannot afford more expensive clothes.
#Person2#: You misunderstood me. Clothes which are too colorful or too expensive suggest that you do not understand what behavior is appropriate for the job, or that you are snobbish or frivolous.
#Person1#: I know what you mean. I ought to wear right clothes at the right time.
#Person2#: You got it. Only in this way can you gain the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement.
#Person1#: It seems that ' clothes make the man '.
#Person2#: It may not be true, but the first and lasting impression of you is determined by your clothes and behavior. | George is giving #Person1# some advice for #Person1#'s job interview next week. He mentions several important things, such as punctuality, creation of a good image in a limited time, and dress code. |

Industrial Designer: that is on the next I th I think the there was not too much difference in the cost that that related to the actual buttons but it does affect the printed circuit board which is the next section Basically for the circuit board which is the middle it is just see it down there the chips like the like the workings of the actual of the remote The firm supplies a simple a regular and an advanced circuit board And there is different prices according to each So if we have got the scroll wheel for one of the buttons that would require a slightly more advanced circuit board than if we just had a standard push button one final thing we came up with was some information on the speech recognition There is a small unit available through the company which obviously would be an extra cost but it would not affect the size of the remote too much and I guess that would require a more advanced circuit board so there is an extra price in that sense There is th sorry an extra cost in that sense going to my personal preferences I thought possibly for power we could use kinetic which is the idea of the watches that you move you move the remote around to power it up And this would avoid batteries running out having to replace batteries and such like for the buttons I thought we would probably get away with just having the standard push buttons rather than the scroll wheel and for the circuit board again depends on which features we want in the actual in the remote So if we wanted the scroll wheel and wanted the voice recognition then we would have to get a a more costly circuit board And that is it
Project Manager: with the printed circuit boards you were going for the
Industrial Designer: i it kind of depends if we are going to have the speech recognition we would have to probably get an advanced one I am guessing but I do not know so that is something I will have to look into
Project Manager: But are we going f R right
Industrial Designer: that is a that is a decision for all of us
Project Manager: So are we able to make that decision now in a sense that this is the point at which we are discussing that issue so would it not be best to rather than I mean one way is to do each of the presentations and then make decisions going back to the various presentations as they were The other way would be to do the presentation and then make the decision at that point in time
User Interface: that is probably a better one to discuss it straight away
Project Manager: Because at that point then you have got the details up there so if we wanted to know for instance that the scroll wheel required the regular and what required advance Then if we were able to see that down then we could make the decision at that point in time and then that would be the end of that issue Does that make sense ?
User Interface: I have a lot of the information there It might not be very clear Unless you want to plug it back in to yours
Industrial Designer: We could do we should As I say it only specified that we need a more advanced circuit board for the scroll wheel it did not The voice recognition came as a separate piece of information
Project Manager: No the scroll wheel required the regular so the
Industrial Designer: if if you down It is just this bit at the bottom which I have highlighted but the scroll wheel requires a mini m minimally a regular chip which is in the higher price range
Project Manager: The display requires an advanced chip
User Interface: I think the scroll wheel
Project Manager: the display requires an advanced chip which in turn is more expense
Industrial Designer: Also the displays for something else which we decided against but that bit And note that the push button just requires a simple chip so that would keep the price down
User Interface: and if we are going for sleek and sexy I think a scroll wheel is maybe a bit kind of bulky ? I I have got pictures well I have seen pictures with it kind of sticking off the side of it and they do not really look great
Industrial Designer: Kay So maybe just a simple push button and that would cut costs on the
Project Manager: So So we are going for p So is
Marketing: So are we going for the w are we going for the simple one are we ?
Industrial Designer: Did everyone get this on the speech recognition ? The it was basically what we said before the idea that you record in a set message and then it picks up that message and replies to you So it is basically the concept we discussed before but then we do not know for sure whether it would require a more complicated circuit board I am guessing it would but got like the definite information Maybe we should go on what we are certain of rather than
Project Manager: So if we go for the simple push button so effectively we are going for the simple printed circuit board are we ? Or are we going for the regular ?
Industrial Designer: if it is just the push button then it just needs the simple circuit board
Project Manager: Mmmm But is there any other I mean that is true for the for for that element but we have to take all el elements into consideration And so if there is one element that requires the more expensive one or say the regular one or the more advanced then that would have to be the same for all of them S
Marketing: I suppose we need we need to find out what circuit board that requires maybe before we m make a decision
User Interface: But the way that I interpret that it does not seem to send out a signal to the telly it just it is like a parrot just rep reply replying to your message
Industrial Designer: So maybe that would be something separate
User Interface: So I do not think it would effect our circuit board
Industrial Designer: so we would have a simple circuit board and that would be an extra that would be in addition to it
User Interface: And I do not think you could really perform any of the remote functions with it Because the example that they have given there is good morning coffee machine good morning Jo It might be useful to say like where are you remote Here I am Jo But I think that is maybe as far as that one could go ?
Industrial Designer: that makes sense so we would stick with the simple circuit board and then think of the speech recognition as an extra an extra possibility
User Interface: just as a fun way to find it
Project Manager: Simple circuit board Simple push button W w kinetic You were you were wanting to go for the kinetic power supply
User Interface: I think it said the cost of that is not too much
Industrial Designer: I I thought so just for just for ease of not having to replace the batteries
Project Manager: And how does it get charged up ?
Industrial Designer: It is I think it works on the basis they have some kind of ball bearings inside It is it is some on watches which you you kind of you shake to power it up Somehow the mechanism inside powers up through movement So you would you would move the remote around a little bit and then that powers it up to use it
Project Manager: So the speech recognition was Are we going for speech recognition ? No ? Because that required the advanced
User Interface: I think it would be helpful to find it but I do not think it would
Industrial Designer: I think did we decide it did not affect the circuit board it just affected
Marketing: Just just for the call and find thing
Project Manager: I had speech recognition requires advanced req require
Industrial Designer: Oh no th that is what that is what I thought but maybe maybe it does not I think I might have got that wrong
Marketing: Because it is s it is separate is not it
Project Manager: Speech recognition you reckon then is s simple
Marketing: it is not part of the
Industrial Designer: It is it is just an addition thing it is
Project Manager: And so we would want it in as an extra because it does not appear to cost too much Would that be
Industrial Designer: Kay shall I pass on to you now ?
Project Manager: In fact it would not really cost anymore would it ?
User Interface: I will just just check what it said Actually I do not think it really says anything about the cost but it says that it is already in the coffee machines so like it is already kind of
Industrial Designer: I assume it would cost extra but Maybe we maybe we will find out how much that does cost and have to decide slightly later
Project Manager: And then have to change all change everything at the last minute
User Interface: Oh that was quick so very brief presentation From looking at the remotes that are out there at the minute none of them are particularly sleek and sexy I have not actually got the examples of the scroll button there but there is some curved cases that you can see a range of sizes All of them have a lot of buttons there they seem to just have the rubber buttons Does that move it ? It just seems to be skipping on without us doing anything
Project Manager: I have found that try and get it back
Industrial Designer: If you right click and then go onto a previous slide
User Interface: There was not much more to say about that just rambling some of the remotes that I looked at one of the models da did actually have voice recognition where you could where it was connected to the remote control functions And it was quite a swish model where it can control four devices TV cable satellite video DVD audio so that is a bit of competition there So I mean maybe it is better not to try and compete with that sort of thing and just to market it as a completely different like different viewpoint as a kind of finding your lost control rather than trying to compete with the functions the scroll buttons as you have already mentioned there is examples of those but they do not look as sleek as other models And there is no real advantage and because it impacts on other on the materials and the price it is not great
Project Manager: So you were saying the scroll buttons
User Interface: Th there was a specialist type of remote that we could think about There was childrens remote where they just had a very limited range of buttons and they were b bright and colourful and you you could program them so that they could only look at certain channels but I do not know if that is really in our field ?
Industrial Designer: I guess I guess we are going for the biggest market maybe not
User Interface: But that is something that is out there
Industrial Designer: but Was it was it specified that we went for the biggest ?
Project Manager: Well we are to go for the international market rather than a local market but that that would not necessarily preclude The one thing that you can often do with products is you can make small modifications So you have your basic model which you would sell at whatever and then you could have additional features in you know like a You would have model one model two and model three and therefore you can subdivide your market up But that is really where your field is
Industrial Designer: So maybe the childrens remote should be like a a next step but maybe I do not know for ours maybe we should
Project Manager: Anyway you could add on for an extra package but on this basic one I am reckoning that we are going for the basic model to be discussed here and that you would have for future reference the possibility of adding in extra features at extra cost to take care of specialist market segments
User Interface: Right well that is something that we can be aware of
Project Manager: So so what are we deciding to do here ?
User Interface: I think because there is already very good voice recognition technology out there and because ours might not cover the same functions that the leading brands do it might be a good idea to market it as a finder function
Project Manager: Right Mmhmm the fi the finder function rather than as a speech function to find your remote
Industrial Designer: So you also said for going for the international market that some some maybe older people might not like the speech recognition S s so
User Interface: Oh Different languages might not be compatible
Industrial Designer: It w it would make it quite complicated where ours at least keeps it fairly simple and then the
User Interface: because I think you program this one yourself like to say like whatever you want to your question
Marketing: and ours is quite a cheap device so I do not know how much we will be able to put into it
Project Manager: So you would have a finder feature rather than a voice recognition feature
User Interface: Maybe unless something else comes up | Industrial Designer gave a presentation about his findings on each of the components of the remote control. Then the team discussed the power supply, buttons, circuit board and speech recognition system of the remote. They finally agreed that they should use a kinetic power supply, simple push buttons and a simple circuit board. And a finder feature rather than a voice recognition feature would be a better choice. |
