Marketing: I I set something on paper already size looks usable the buttons on usable places the the on off button must be on top it has to lay good in the hand

Marketing: it is also about strength and for everything
User Interface: I also wrote down some stuff that you want on a
Project Manager: no maybe not not that is not a f that is something for for for That is not for you Just if what is in the market what is normal what kind of buttons do you have
User Interface: What do you want to do with your remote control what do you need on your remote control I already wrote some down some ideas There is already a document in the folder about it

Marketing: I have some points from marketing point of view just the standard thing li things like intuitive small fairly cheap it is pretty cheap twenty five Euros brand independent I think it does not have to matter which brand your TV or other thing is I will wrap it up quickly I personally think it has to be multipurpose most of the remote c remote controls are just for one purpose And by making it multipurpose it has a new feature adds a new feature to the market and distinguish from from current products maybe some other technology than infrared I rather find it very annoying like when someone is standing in front of the TV then you can not switch it think about sending it over radio waves or bluetooth That might be a little bit expensive And something like an LCD screen like I said here Maybe it is easy It is nice as an added feature feature that when you are on a certain channel you can see on the LCD screen what programmes are coming up or
Project Manager: So it be a multipurpose very technically high
Marketing: From my point of view
Project Manager: remote ? it must be really innovative technicalwise ?
Marketing: it has to be our company is very good in making new innovative things
Project Manager: So I I agree with you
Marketing: So i i i i
Project Manager: So we must focus on things who are really really add something to to
Marketing: Look you got some cheap remote controls there They just you got a dozen of them But when you enter a new market with a remote control and want to gain market share you have to do something special I think
Project Manager: But we have to keep an eye that it is at the beginning of such a project it is it is it is very cool to talk about well this would be cool that would be cool but we must not lose sight of the the user friendly
Marketing: But it is But but this is just from marketing aspect I do not know anything about user interface or design | Marketing put forward innovative ideas including using radio waves and bluetooth. In the proposal, some potential problems about high cost and being limited to marketing aspects had also been mentioned by Marketing. Based on this, PM agreed that those ideas could help the product to be special and competitive, but PM also pinpointed that such a product required strong support of high technology. Besides, being user-friendly should not be ignored. |

#Person1#: Hi Jane, please come in and take a seat.
#Person2#: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right?
#Person1#: Yes, but it seems that we've got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task.

#Person1#: I did. But she said it was a communication problem.
#Person2#: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?
#Person1#: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.

Project Manager: we should now try to decide on our target group
Marketing: Which I think is quite tricky basically we are trying to get people to buy a remote control would not they already have a remote control with their television when they buy one ?
Project Manager: Of course they have already one So our our our remote control has to be better
Marketing: But it is not going to have more functionality because it is only a low market it is a cheapend remote control we can not beat modern functionality we might we will be able to beat them on th the look of it th the design of it but that is not a big seller if they are not just going to buy a new remote control just because it looks pretty they have to actually need it as well So I am not sure how we can get people to buy this thing
Project Manager: Mm I well I think many people said in your in in your research the appearance of the RC is is important when they are buying one
Marketing: Mm But why are they buying one in the first place ?
Project Manager: but Indeed So that will be about functionality
Marketing: Mm But if people are buying a new remote control for functionality they will buy a universal remote I have got friends who have got so many things they need a universal remote otherwise they are using five different remotes for their all their things In that case they would not buy our product because it does not give them what they need in terms of functionality
Project Manager: So your you think we should go for a more you universal highperformance
Marketing: Well we can not with the price range We We are not building a universal remote we are not building a high end product
Project Manager: What do What do you think about What componen
Industrial Designer: we have twelve point five Euros per per R s RC and I think with this now you know that chips are very cheaps and we can include it in our control some new new features
Marketing: But If we are getting into universal remote territory we are getting to LCD screens and things like that which would drive the cost up a lot
Project Manager: I do not know I do not know whether that is necessary
Industrial Designer: I do not think LCD is not necessary well th for long term
Project Manager: I think thi this could be this could be a market because universal remote controls tend to be quite expensive
Marketing: And quite complicated to use
Project Manager: S so we can try to go in between and offer a product which is not as expensive and not as complicated
Marketing: Mmhmm Not as flexible maybe but s
Project Manager: but but still but still people have the idea this is more functional than a normal RC because it has more it it is in some kind universal
Marketing: But if we are going for the say fifteen to twenty five age group then not many of them would actually own TVs to use a remote control on
Project Manager: Mm yes but w we are targeting I think on more on the on the twenty to forty group People yes Who just have or already have a job and have the money but may not want to spend that much money on a on a universal universal control
Marketing: Mmhmm Mmhmm Yep I do not know really what the the price range for remote controls is Are we going to be at the very bottom of the price range or are we kind of middle to bottom ? I do not know
Project Manager: I think when we think it over I thi I think we are trying to offer the a kind of universal control for for less money So d Do you agree ?
User Interface: Well Well I it is fine with me like the price as long as it is not too expensive and it d Our provin
Industrial Designer: because we have to take into account that we are going to b we are going to sell four aro around four million so when we speak about these numbers the price of a chip is price of a chip is very cheap So I am for designing a ne less a a kind of universal RC
Project Manager: Mmhmm You think it is possible for the twelve Euro fifty ? so then we we decide on on on going to this more universal kind of control
User Interface: that is that is what we needed basically that is needed right now And basically you can look to the standards of other
Industrial Designer: And if we want to get the market we really need that
Marketing: So I guess what I would like from a universal remote is maybe choosing between three devices being able to switch between them there may be stereo VCR and TV And just be able to s use them all from the same remote but not at the same time
User Interface: you can also browse through all the standards you know where are the limit of standards for all of them and you can just browse through them
Industrial Designer: Is that for you ?
Project Manager: So given we are going for this universal type m maybe it is good when you try to find out which components you therefore need and y you will try to get more specific user interface content and maybe you can look on on what trends are in this in this type of market So anyone has a point to bring in
User Interface: Oh I do not have anything right now We can we will we will go
Industrial Designer: that is that is fine then
User Interface: and we will I am sure we will up something good
Project Manager: we we can have lunch now So Then th th the next meeting will
User Interface: so we meet in well what are our
Project Manager: after lunch you have we have thirty minutes of work and then we have the next meeting But you will be informed via the computer
User Interface: Cool So see you later | When Projected Manager announced that the group should decide on the target group, Marketing thought that with a tight budget, the functionality of the product would be greatly restricted. Hence, only a low market could be reached. However, after a brief discussion about LCR screen, Project Manager brought back the idea of universal remote control, and the group reached a consensus on the feasibility of designing a basic universal remote control at a low cost. |

User Interface: Right Thank you Mines not quite as complicated as all that
Project Manager: That is what we like to hear
User Interface: Did I press function ?
Project Manager: Is it control function ei Oh th there you go
User Interface: Oh so I am going to talk a bit about the technical functions design I am Louisa the User Interface Designer as you know so the m basic method of this is to send a signal from the remote to the television set so that a desired function is performed an example of the function could be to change the volume up or down so obviously you need two different buttons for that to change the channel either by pressing the number that you want or by channel up or down to switch the television on or off maybe a standby button here are two example remotes by the look of it they both have kind of play and fast forward rewind functions so I think they incorporate a kind of video function which we will not have to worry about but as you can see the left remote is quite quite busy looking quite complicated whereas the right remote is much simpler it looks much more user friendly so my personal preference would be the right remote So it is got nice big buttons it is got a very limited number of buttons they are nice kind of clearly labelled I like the use of the kind of symbols like the triangles and the squares and the arrows as well as the words on the kind of play functions and all that So it is very very user friendly and it is got a little splash of colour Could maybe do with some more colour
Project Manager: Well there is a couple of things there we have to remember that we have our own logo and colour scheme So basically we would have to we would have to be putting that on the the product
User Interface: Do we get to see that ?
Project Manager: I have not as yet no
User Interface: Will you be presenting that in a bit ?
Project Manager: But I got I got an email that basically said to make sure that whatever device we come up with at the end of the day had to incorporate the corporate colour and slogan So I am guessing that I notice on the bottom there it is got what is that ? APOGEE that might be the corporate colour scheme although the only the only colour I can see in that is the red
Industrial Designer: Would you be able to get rid of the the extra buttons here the the sort of circular section because that seems to be for a video as well So we could dispense with that little bit as well and just get it down to just the numbers and the volume Possibly ?
User Interface: What do you mean by the circular section ? Like all of that bottom bit ?
Industrial Designer: just this little bit is that I think that is still a video remote part so maybe we could get rid of that as well
User Interface: And I do not really think that you need nine numbers I mean how often do you use seven eight and nine ? I think just one to six and then channel up and down should be enough
Project Manager: Well th the on the
User Interface: Like how often do you hit nine ?
Project Manager: Well for for general television purposes obviously you have channels one to five at this point in time and we would have to have some room for future such channels But but
Industrial Designer: It is just people are used to seeing that so if we did not have them then they might think it is
Project Manager: But well possibly but the the other thing is that with the current expansion of channels in the process of taking place certainly the button up and down but I mean how many channels do we have to actual television channels do we have to prepare for ? I would have thought that it is forever expanding and at the moment we have got although you have onl you have got the five standard you have got the BBC have come up with a further six and there is I do not know exactly how many channels there are on when you take into account Sky and various other various others So I would have thought that we would not you know rather if the time of flicking from one to other but presumably it will take a second because you have to be able to stop it Maybe you could have a fast forward on the on the channels that w and then you could dispense with more otherwise Y you would want you would want to get fairly quickly to the channel that you wanted
User Interface: some remotes have kind of favourite options where if you always flick from channel one to channel six if that is a favourite you just like bypass two to five
Project Manager: I s I suppose in a sense you could have if you have got a hundred channels then if you had sort of an easy way of getting rather than having to go one to a hundred you could go one to one to ten ten to twenty and then have a second button to get you to the actual channel you want and that would cut down your time
User Interface: But I think a lot of like Cable and Sky and stuff that would be tuned to one channel and then you would have another remote for all of those channels Like to get to fifty five and the higher numbers
Project Manager: Limit the number of buttons user friendly
User Interface: But I suppose nines not really excessive
Industrial Designer: I suppose with nine you have got the the like the last one which makes the tenth means you it is like multiples you can put them together so you can make any number
User Interface: I suppose it does make a good pattern
Industrial Designer: So with that we would kind of bypass any problems with
Project Manager: you could get fifty by five and a zero or whatever that that makes sense
Industrial Designer: Because that facilitates having all the numbers you could ever need
Project Manager: So w so what was the circular thing that you were
User Interface: I think that is just for a video so we would not need any of that at all
Industrial Designer: So we could get it down to what ?
Project Manager: If it is just for TV which is what it is at the moment
Industrial Designer: So we get to How many buttons have we got ? We have just got ten eleven twelve th We got fourteen that we need I guess which is not really too many That will be quite easy to make a user guide for a fourteen button remote
Project Manager: Mmhmm Well we have we have got that it is remote for TV only otherwise project would become too complex with which would endanger the time to market was one of the considerations I am I do not know d did you have that information behind the marketing or was I meant to give you that information ?
Marketing: I am not sure I had I have had some market information but not from the company no
Project Manager: Right so basically time to market seems to be important therefore speed of delivery We have only got about another four hours left
User Interface: so is everyone happy with that ?
Industrial Designer: Ah yes yes that seems good
User Interface: Right well that is the end of my presentation | User Interface preferred a more user-friendly remote with nice big buttons and limited number of buttons. She also gave her suggestions about the symbol and colour of the remote. Then, they discussed the number of buttons on the remote. |

the egyptians: Well, it will be without a nose - what will your wife think?
the king: She can sell all her jewelry if she wants a nose for her sphinx, for all I care. Unless you know where to get more stone for cheap?
the egyptians: Well, we could always switch to sandstone. It's cheap and carves easily, but is susceptible to erosion and will wear quickly over time.
the king: Cheap, you say? I like it. Go ahead and complete it in sandstone, the sphinx will probably be buried by sandstorms before it erode away anyways.
the egyptians: Thank you your Highness, though don't you want the people of the future to look upon your works and despair, and not laugh because all your statues and great monuments are missing noses?
the king: I'll be long mummified by then. I only care about gold and filling my belly with pies.

jester: You are the King, surely you can do something, anything! This kingdom will not last long without a ruler. These people would not know how to handle themselves. If it is anything like the last scare then we could have threats of burns and hangings of people actually come true.

#Person1#: So Kim, have you ever had anything stolen?
#Person2#: Stolen? No, why?
#Person1#: My uncle just had his motorcycle stolen a few nights ago. I was just thinking about how clever criminals are these days.
#Person2#: Criminals are clever? They're only successful when people are careless.
#Person1#: I don't know. The ones who stole my uncle's motorcycle were pretty good.
#Person2#: If your uncle had an alarm system, then it wouldn't have happened.
#Person1#: He did. It was one of the best ones available. But that didn't stop them from disabling it. And on a crowded street too.
#Person2#: Didn't anyone stop them?
