User Interface: if you want to change the volume or channel that is always accessible and easy and other functions that are not so important well you we should consider just not using them or at least putting them somewhere on the remote where they are not in the way for the for the most important functions
Marketing: I think the idea about touch screen is very good because recently I saw news item on TV about new telephones for elder people they have like a touch screen with really big pictures on it like call hangup and that is a big ad advantage I think because one the one hand you make the remote control compatible for elder users just by scaling up the pictures or something It is very visual intended What was I to say more ?
User Interface: Maybe that is an option keep the primary buttons visible make a remote that fits easily in the hands and for some design issues well put a logo on it and maybe use it in some aesthetic aesthetic form But th the important buttons m make them always accessible and pushable and clear and maybe use a touch screen or if that is will become too difficult just like televi some o older telephones use a l maybe it is possible to to flip them open and just expand the number of options that are normally visible
Marketing: but but if you pick the the idea the left idea then what is going to be displayed on the touch screen ?
User Interface: The extra functions you you just see a menu from system functions or teletext functions and you just choose one
Marketing: but l like menu functions or
User Interface: and then all all the options will become available and you just c s t scroll through them
Industrial Designer: Would not it be better to make just one big touch screen one one small touch screen applet and I will just make let us say fifteen buttons on it and we have three of those actually just menus with submenus with or subitems subfunctions
User Interface: then I would like to make a proposal If you make one big touch screen use the same concept as here keep the buttons always available and use the lower part of the touch screen for the rest
Industrial Designer: like like the iPod idea that that we just saw | User Interface also suggested to keep the remote control simple and ease down on the functionality. Keeping the remote control simple meant that fewer functions were involved, or at least less buttons were made, which could be solved by a hierarchy structure supported by a touch screen. Besides, User Interface mentioned the importance of being user friendly. According to User Interface, the remote control should be only used for TV. |

Sally Jenkins: There are a number of parts to that Firstly in terms of longterm social services intervention in a familys life I think for people to be fully aware of the very few numbers of families where we have longterm intervention currently even where there is what would be perceived as very significant abuse What we do is we go in for short periods in families lives to support them to work with their strengths to work with them and their family members It is not about us going into families whatever some of the public perception may be Our aim is to get in and get out So in terms of longterm intervention what we want is for families to find their own solutions We want families to be able to work with each other and together and local community support and preventative services to be able to address issues This is not about punitive approaches from social services So that is the first element 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 Because we also know that this is actually quite a rare occurrence currently this is not a defence that is being used with great frequency this is not something that is happening And if we look at the data we know that the incidents of children and the number of parents who now recognise this as an acceptable form of punishment has steadily declined over the last 15 to 20 years So it is diminishing as it is | First, Sally Jenkins made it clear that very few numbers of families where they had long-term intervention currently. What they do was they go in for short periods in families' lives to work with them and their family members. Their aim was to get in and get out. In terms of long-term intervention, they wanted families to find their own solutions. To conclude, this was not a punitive approach from social services. |

Marketing: Trend No yes so I am going to talk about trends and I hope this can help us to to understand l how we should design our remote control So next slide please So first maybe just a small recap on how how do we watch trends so it is not so simple you might think that it is easy but it is not so simple Anyway these days the best source of information is the web as you know so have to to go often on the web and look at what the others are doing and ask real people who are using real remote controls every day or any other tool that is similar to a remote control which basically is a small device that people have with them always like a phone We can we can use the phone as a as a good example of where to in be inspired Of course those tha d who are watching the trends are also have also to be inspired because in fact they are not only watching the trends they are inventing it they are creating the trend I hope I am going to try to help you on that This is more risky because you are not following the trend you try to invent it which means either you succeed and you make a lot of money or you do not and you are out of business So anyway next slide please to be to be quick there is a lot of words here but basically there are in in the market of of remote controls there are three aspects that we should very pay much attention to The first one which seems to be the most important one is that it has to be fancy it has to have a fancy look and feel And interestingly this is the very most important thing It has to be fancy Strangely enough it is more important to be fancy than to be wi and now that is the second thing it has to be it has to be technologically i innovative it has to be new with some of new technology inside and and this is also more important than the last thing which we w may think that would have been the most important which is that it should be easy to use and it should be easy to use as a remote control So as you see it first have to be very nice s something that people are proud of that i they can be id identified with and and then something that contains very novel stuff that they can talk about with their friends huh mine has this and not yours And finally of course it has to be useful as a remote control but it seems that it is not so important that it is useful as a remote control and now in a more general broad way of seeing th the thing If we look back and not look at only remote controls I think it is important to see that the trends are quite the same in many areas so currently the the trends that we see in l in l big cities like Paris and Milan well it seems that this year things should have a fruit and vegetable way of of look or feel And I think of course i it applies to everything That is the thing with trends It it can travel f from clothe to furniture same idea Fruit and vegetable Think fruit and vegetable And if we co we compare to last year now it has to be spongy this so so I think i When we were talking about rubber I think the rubber aspect might be important because it is what is probably more feasible in terms of sponginess
Project Manager: S So maybe titanium it is not a good idea
Industrial Designer: We need to think about mm mm
Marketing: Think more of something in the colours of like fruit and vegetables and spongy as a even in the shape it has to be more round and more look natural somehow I mean And not those futuristic remote control with angles and and titanium like So that is what people seem to i I know it is quite far from what you thought but that is that is fashion and that is all I have to say
Project Manager: Mm you have questions ?
Industrial Designer: So these abilities are mainly ad addressed by young people ? Or it is This you you so did you
Marketing: we have people listening to the trends everywhere in the world of course
Industrial Designer: Where ? Oh Oh mmhmm
Marketing: as you know our company is quite big and so I am just asking them what are the current trends according to them when they go in the stores and when they ask their friends
Industrial Designer: It is not from mm Mmhmm It is more general trend it is not particular to the remote control
Marketing: No it is not it is not this this is very general But it seems that trends travel across things
Industrial Designer: but some materials n they are to be they are to be something like solid like they can not be really spongy
Marketing: We have to I think we have to have the look of fruit and vegetables
Industrial Designer: sponge at least that is
Marketing: but we still have to put our chips inside so of course
Industrial Designer: looking fruit These things can be easily incorporated We can have t colours or this shape
Marketing: I think in the colours and in the the kind of material If if it is something like rubber made or I think it it is also going to be good | The marketing put forward three noteworthy aspects in trends. First and foremost, people loved fancy things that they could be identified with. The second point was that as a remote control it had to be technologically innovative. Thirdly, being easy to use was also necessary. From a broader perspective, fruit and vegetables were in fashion this year and being spongy was also popular. Thus, contrary to the industrial designer, the marketing thought rubber was more feasible in terms of sponginess. The group agreed that the product should resemble fruit and vegetable in shape and colour but the specific design was not decided. |
