Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So we are here for the concept design meeting . So , we will first start bysummarizing the mm {vocalsound} the previous meeting and the decision we've taken . Uh I will take notes during this meeting so uh that you can uh look at myuh folder to see the summary of this meeting afterwards . So each of you will uh show us the various investigation they've done during uh previous uh hours .We'll then t take decision in concert and then uh uh we will uh define the nest {disfmarker} next task , to have {disfmarker} to be done before the next meeting .So , last time we decided to have a simple interface . We also decided to have a wheel to change channel {disfmarker} previous channel button . Channel digit uhbuttons should be uh protected by plastic cover or something for the remote control to look very simple . We have also button for volume , and to switch on offthe T_V_ . We have also uh the lightening feature for the remote control to be easy to find , and for fast development and low cost we have decided to have noL_C_D_ no voice features . So now uh we will have three presentations . So the conceptual specification by Industrial Designer , the specification of the U_I_ by{disfmarker} or U_I_ {vocalsound}User Interface: Abdul al-Hasred is my name .Project Manager: okay . {vocalsound} And uh the last point is uh trend watchingby Market Expert . So maybe we can start with uh industrial design . So this is the presentation .Industrial Designer: Uh , I_D_ you want ?Project Manager:Maybe I can switch slide uh on your request .Industrial Designer: Yeah . I only v have three slides , so . I just look at the mm {disfmarker} um just this . Onsome web pages to find some documentationProject Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and I think a remote control is , as I s mentioned previously , you justhave a a very simple chip and the mm the user interface is just done usually by push button and in our case we are using a um a wheel control . So uh uh I waslooking basically for that chip , which is uh very very standard , and uh I just looked for the wheel sensor and the standard push button . And um {vocalsound}yeah we can change directly .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: In fact I have the number of that element which is very standard for remote control .The push button are usually extremely cheap , but I just have one problem and this is related with the wheel sensor , which seems to be quite expensive .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And I think we if we could just talk about that if we really need a wheel sensor or if we can not{disfmarker} if if we could combine something with the push button .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Uh a wheel sensor is fifty time the price of a a apush button .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: But is it a significant price on the whole remote control ?User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Because wecan afford up to twelve Euros for the price of the remote control .Industrial Designer: Yeah . YeahProject Manager: So will will will this with uh including allpossible things , so buttons , wheel and the chip , be uh lower than twelve Euros to produce ?Industrial Designer: I I th {vocalsound} But I don't think that uh weshould {disfmarker} We should talk about uh the design of the box also which needs some money .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: OkayUser Interface:Also have to say {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: But {disfmarker}User Interface: Did you receive the email about the voice recognition ?Industrial Designer:Um that's all {vocalsound}User Interface: No ?Project Manager: You received something {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: yeah . I haven't checUser Interface:Yeah . You we uh an email from the manufacturing division that they have basically a voice recognition chip already developed .Project Manager: Hmm .UserInterface: Says {disfmarker} Yeah . It says that ri right now they just use it to uh to record uh answers to particular questions . But I guess it could be{disfmarker}Project Manager: And could it be adapted ?User Interface: I guess it's possible . I mean instead of recording the answers you can just uh record uhsomething simpler like a command .Project Manager: Okay and there can uh recognize some commands and stuff ?User Interface: Yeah you reco recognizecommands and you can record new commands and stuff , so if they already have it as uh as a chipProject Manager: Okay . Yeah .User Interface: then we wecould use it .Project Manager: Okay maybe we can just uh listen to this presentation and then take decision later on {disfmarker} according to those news.Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah but I think it's yeah {disfmarker} Sorry , I haven't written my personalreferences . Um {vocalsound} the I I just want to mention the the problem of the the r wheels sensor which is much more expensive than any push button,Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: and if we could reduce that . We we have already some good things uh with um um with the backlight of the pushbutton .User Interface: Mm-hmm . I have a question about that actually {vocalsound} . Um , what is the purpose of the light ?Industrial Designer: Just to tomake something which is uh slightly more design that uh a squarey box with a rubber {disfmarker}User Interface: Is {disfmarker}Project Manager: You caneasily find the button in the dark or so ?User Interface: But {disfmarker} But in th in the dark uh {disfmarker} Yeah but is going to be always turned on , thelight ?Project Manager: It will be turned on when the when the user move the remote control I think , no ?User Interface: But if you move it then you have it ,you don't need to find it .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: You can see the buttons better , of course .Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah.Project Manager: Yeah . True .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Actually .User Interface: But if you move it then you have to have some sensor to {disfmarker} whenyou move it to detect your movement .Industrial Designer: As soon as you thought to move the the remote control you have the light .User Interface: Yeah , butyou need another sensor for that , right ?Industrial Designer: Yeah . Again .User Interface: Yeah {vocalsound} no it's too expensive . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I don't think that this is really expensive , but at the end this is plenty of unexpen eh very cheap devices but uh the bill starts to be {disfmarker}UserInterface: Okay . Mm . Extra . Yeah , okay . Mm . Yeah , but I expected also the wheel would be cheap but you tell me that it is very expensive so ,IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} First of all I was thinking to have a a continuous lightUser Interface: yeah .Industrial Designer: and you w when t you you you you pressthe on button you have the light on your remote control , when you want to turn off your device {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm . Mm-hmm .Project Manager:But it can be uh battery consuming , no ? To have the light always on ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , a little bit . A little bit .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager:Well we will discuss that after maybeIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: OkayProject Manager: the other presentations .User Interface: . So uh my one , ituh should be in the shared folder .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: So . It was last time I saw it .Project Manager: And it is .User Interface: Okay . So,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} just move to the next slide . {vocalsound} So basically {vocalsound} want very simple , right ? That's themajor idea , as simple as possible .Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: So I just look at some current designs uh on the web , of usually morecomplicated remote controls . And let's look at two of them because uh th even though they have many buttons they look quite simple . And in our case we justuh reject the buttons what we don't need and it become even simpler .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Um . {vocalsound} So .Project Manager: And alsodoes it uh fit well in hand ? Because it was uh th your wrist problem with the usage .User Interface: Yeah . Well this these uh these remotes are quite big , so goto the next page , so . We have all these buttons as you can see , but most of them , we just need the ones in the middle .Project Manager: Yeah {vocalsound} .Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: So , from the bottom or whatever is there , uh the uh the numbers and then the top , uh until the ten also , thismiddle part ,Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: and on the left one is exactly the same . So it's basically more or less how we would like it , with a bigvolume control , big channel control , and mute and power , yeah ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: These are the basic thing .Project Manager: So it's onlythe central part .User Interface: So basically , w software we will build will look more or less the same as these two .Project Manager: Yeah . With a maybe amore ergonomic design on on the bottom part .User Interface: Yeah , if you have , for example {vocalsound} {disfmarker} I think that the volume and thebuttons that are there on the top are not very easy to reach with your thumb .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: It could be on the right side , for example.Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah . Because we don't have these input buttons and this other stuff that they have . And I think that the plastic coveris not very good uh idea becauseProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: you open it , it can break , you ca you can do various things .Project Manager: Okay .SUser Interface: Uh you just need to put the channel numbers somewhere a bit out of the way .Project Manager: Okay . Will be down or {disfmarker}UserInterface: So that they're separate a bit ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: yeah . Uh and it's easy to press the other {disfmarker} the big buttons , but uh ,it's not that difficult to press the the channel buttons either . Mm . Yeah , I think that if you put the cover it will be even more difficult for the user .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Alright , you won't {disfmarker} yeah . Usually what {disfmarker} I have noticed that people put the plastic cover on things thatyou normally don't mess with , like buttons for t uh tuning the channels and stuff like that .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah . That you want toprotect a bit . And I think it's uh it's reasonable .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So , I don't think {disfmarker} Yeah , this is just the the wheel .ProjectManager: Mm .User Interface: We could use the {disfmarker} some wheels can be pushed down , could use the push down of the wheel for the record if we want.Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Uh so we could just basically use one just wheel and uh user could use just the wheel to do everything with thechannels in that case .Project Manager: Yeah . Maybe the wheel will be a {vocalsound} good advantage over our competitors .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Because otherwise it's pretty standard apart the fact that it's very simple . So maybe it's worse to uh to have more expense on that's thataspect .Industrial Designer: To s Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah , I guess the market researcher will tell us all about that .Project Manager: Okay . So we can


Grad A: OK , this is one channel . Can you uh , say your name and talk into your mike one at a time ?PhD C: This is Eric on channel three , I believe .Grad A: OK .Uh , I don't think it 's on there , Jane .Undergrad D: Tasting one two three , tasting .Postdoc E: OK , this is Jane on channel five .Grad A: Uh , I still don't see youJane .Postdoc E: Oh , darn , what am I doing wrong ?Undergrad D: Can you see me on channel four ? Really ?Grad A: Yeah , I sUndergrad D: My lucky day.Postdoc E: Uh , screen no , {disfmarker} it is , oh , maybe it just warmed up ?Grad A: No .Postdoc E: Oh , darn , can you can't see channel five yet ?Grad A: Uh ,well , the mike isn't close enough to your mouth , so .Postdoc E: Oh , this would be k OK , is that better ?Grad A: S uh , try speaking loudly ,Undergrad D: I likethe high quality labelling .Grad A: so ,Postdoc E: Hello ,Grad A: OK , good .Undergrad D: David , can we borrow your labelling machine to improve the quality ofthe labelling a little bit here ?Postdoc E: hello . Alright .Grad A: Thank you .PhD B: One tUndergrad D: How {disfmarker} how many are there , one to five ?PhDB: One five , yeah .Undergrad D: Yeah , please .Postdoc E: Would you like to join the meeting ?Grad A: Well , we don't wanna renumber them ,Postdoc E: I bet{disfmarker}Grad A: cuz we 've already have like , forms filled out with the numbers on them . So , let 's keep the same numbers on them .PhD B: Yeah , OK ,that 's a good idea .Grad A: OK , Dan , are you on ?PhD B: I 'm on {disfmarker} I 'm on two and I should be on .Grad A: Good .PhD B: Yeah .Undergrad D: Wantto join the meeting , Dave ? Do we {disfmarker} do {disfmarker} do we have a spare , uh {disfmarker}Grad A: And I 'm getting lots of responses on differentones , so I assume {pause} the various and assorted P Z Ms are on .Undergrad D: We ' r we 're {disfmarker} we ' r This is {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} this isa meeting meeting .Postdoc E: This is abou we 're {disfmarker} we 're mainly being taped but we 're gonna talk about , uh , transcription for the m futuremeeting meetings .Grad A: Stuff . Yeah , this is not something you need to attend . So .Postdoc E: Yeah . e OK .PhD C: You 're always having one of those days ,Dave .Postdoc E: Y you 'd be welcome .Grad A: Besides , I don't want anyone who has a weird accent .Postdoc E: You 'd be welcome .Grad A: Right , Dan?Undergrad D: So , I don't understand if it 's neck mounted you don't get very good performance .PhD C: It 's not neck mounted . It 's supposed to be h headmounted .Undergrad D: Yeah . It {disfmarker} it should be head mounted . Right ?Grad A: Well , then put it on your head .PhD B: I don't know .PhD C: Right.Grad A: What are you doing ?Undergrad D: Cuz when you do this , you can {disfmarker} Rouww - Rouww .Postdoc E: Why didn't I {disfmarker} you were sayingthat but I could hear you really well on the {disfmarker} on the transcription {disfmarker} on the , uh , tape .Grad A: Well , I m I would prefer that people wore iton their headPhD B: I {disfmarker} I don't know .PhD C: iGrad A: but they were complaining about it . Because it 's not {disfmarker} it doesn't go over the ears.Undergrad D: Why ?Postdoc E: It 's badly designed .Grad A: It 's very badly designed so it 's {disfmarker}PhD B: It 's very badly designed ?Undergrad D: Whatdo you mean it doesn't go over the ears ?PhD B: Why ? It 's not s It 's not supposed to cover up your ears .Grad A: Yeah but , there 's nowhere to put the pad soit 's comfortable .PhD B: I mean , it 's only badly {disfmarker}Postdoc E: So that 's what you 're d He 's got it on his temples so it cuts off his circulation .PhD B:Oh , that 's strange .PhD C: Yeah , that 's {disfmarker} that 's what I have .Grad A: And it feels so good that way .PhD C: It feels so good when I stop .Grad A:So I {disfmarker} I again would like to do some digits .Undergrad D: Somebody wanna {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Try it .Grad A: Um .Undergrad D: Somebodywanna close the door ?Grad A: Sure .PhD B: OK .Postdoc E: We could do it with noise .Grad A: So let me {disfmarker}PhD C: You 're always doing digits .Grad A:Well , you know , I 'm just that sort of {disfmarker} digit - y g sorta guy . OK . So this is Adam .Postdoc E: Uh , this is the same one I had before .Grad A: I doubtit .PhD B: It 's still the same words .Grad A: I think we 're session four by the way . Or m it might be five .Undergrad D: Psss ! Oh , that 's good .Postdoc E:NoGrad A: I didn't bring my previous thing .PhD B: We didn't {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Now , just to be sure , the numbers on the back , this is the channel ?PhDB: That 's the microphone number .Postdoc E: That 's the microphone number .Grad A: Yeah , d leave the channel blank .Postdoc E: Uh - oh . OK , good.Undergrad D: But number has to be {disfmarker} ? So we have to look up the number .Postdoc E: Five {disfmarker}Grad A: Right .Undergrad D: OK , good.Postdoc E: Good . OK . Well , this is Jane , on mike number five . Um . I just start ? Do I need to say anything more ?Grad A: Uh , transcript number .PhD B:Transcript number {disfmarker}PhD C: OK , this is Eric on microphone number three ,Undergrad D: This is Beck on mike four .Grad A: Thanks . Should I turn offthe VU meter Dan ? Do you think that makes any difference ?PhD B: Oh , God . No , let me do it .Grad A: Why ? Are you gonna do something other than hit " quit" ?PhD B: No , but I 'm gonna look at the uh , logs as well .Grad A: Oh . Should have done it before .Postdoc E: Uh , you said turn off the what ?Grad A: The VUmeter which tells you what the levels on the various mikes are and there was one hypothesis that perhaps that {disfmarker} {vocalsound} the act of recordingthe VU meter was one of the things that contributed to the errors .Postdoc E: Oh . Oh , I see .Undergrad D: Yeah , but Eric , uh , you didn't think that was areasonable hypothesis , right ?Postdoc E: I See .Grad A: That was me ,Undergrad D: Oh , I 'm sorry yGrad A: I thought that was {disfmarker}Undergrad D: Thatwas malarkey .Grad A: Well , the only reason that could be is if the driver has a bug . Right ? Because the machine just isn't very heavily loaded .Undergrad D: Nochance of that .Grad A: No chance of that . Just because it 's beta . Look OK ?PhD B: Yeah , there {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} there was {disfmarker} therewas a {disfmarker} there was a bug . There was a glitch last time we ran .Undergrad D: Are - are yo are you recording where the table mikes are by the way?PhD B: No .Undergrad D: Do you know which channels {disfmarker}Grad A: Yeah , we usually do that .PhD B: No , we don't .Grad A: Yeah .PhD B: But we{disfmarker} we ought to st we ought to standardize .Undergrad D: Why not ?PhD B: I think , {vocalsound} uh , I s I spoke to somebody , Morgan , {comment}about that . I think {disfmarker} I think we should put mar Well , no , w we can do that .Undergrad D: Why don't you just do this ?Grad A: I mean , that 's whatwe 've done before .PhD B: I know what they {disfmarker} they 're {disfmarker} they 're four , three , two , one . In order now .Undergrad D: Four .PhD B:Three , two , {vocalsound} and one .Undergrad D: Three .PhD B: But I think {disfmarker} I think we should put them in standard positions . I think we shouldmake little marks on the table top .Grad A: Which means we need to move this thing , and sorta decide how we 're actually going to do things .PhD B: So that wecan put them {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Oh , OK .PhD B: I guess that 's the point .Grad A: So .PhD B: It 'll be a lot easier if we have a {disfmarker} if we have thempermanently in place or something like that .Grad A: Right .Postdoc E: I do wish there were big booms coming down from the ceiling .PhD B: You do ?Postdoc E:Yeah .PhD C: Would it make you feel more important ?Grad A: Mmm .Postdoc E: Yeah , yeah , yeah .PhD C: I see .Undergrad D: Wait till the projector getsinstalled .Postdoc E: You know .Grad A: That 'll work .Postdoc E: Oh , that 'll be good .Grad A: That 'll work .PhD B: Oh , gosh .Undergrad D: Cuz it 's gonna hangdown , make noise .Postdoc E: OK .PhD B: When 's it gonna be installed ?Postdoc E: OK .Undergrad D: Well , {vocalsound} it depends onPhD B: I see .UndergradD: Is this b is this being recorded ?Grad A: That 's right .Undergrad D: Uh , I think Lila actually is almost getting r pretty close to even getting ready to put out thepurchase order .PhD B: OK . Cool .Undergrad D: I handed it off to her about a month ago .PhD B: I see .Grad A: OK , so , topic of this meeting is I wanna talk alittle bit about transcription . Um , I 've looked a little bit into commercial transcription services and Jane has been working on doing transcription . Uh , and so wewan wanna decide what we 're gonna do with that and then get an update on the electronics , and then , uh , maybe also talk a little bit about some infrastructureand tools , and so on . Um , you know , eventually we 're probably gonna wanna distribute this thing and we should decide how we 're gonna {disfmarker} howwe 're gonna handle some of these factors . So .PhD B: Distribute what ?Grad A: Hmm ?PhD B: The data ?Grad A: Right . Right . I mean , so we 're {disfmarker}we 're collecting a corpus and I think it 's gonna be generally useful . I mean , it seems like it 's not a corpus which is {disfmarker} uh , has been done before .And so I think people will be interested in having {disfmarker} having it ,PhD B: Oh .Grad A: and so we will {disfmarker}Undergrad D: u Using , like , audio D VDs or something like that ?Grad A: Excuse me ?PhD B: Yes .Undergrad D: Audio D VGrad A: Well , or something . Yeah , audio D V C Ds ,Undergrad D: Or tGradA: you know .Undergrad D: Yeah . tapes .Grad A: And {disfmarker} and so how we do we distribute the transcripts , how do we distribute the audio files , how dowe {disfmarker} how do we just do all that infrastructure ?PhD C: Well , I think {disfmarker} I mean , for that particular issue ther there are known sourceswhere people go to {disfmarker} to find these kind of things like the LDC for instance .Postdoc E: Yeah ,Grad A: Right , but {disfmarker} but so should we do it inthe same format as LDCPostdoc E: that 's right .Grad A: and what does that mean to what we 've done already ?PhD B: Right . The {disfmarker} It 's not somuch the actu The logistics of distribution are secondary to {pause} preparing the data in a suitable form for distribution .PhD C: Right .Grad A: Right . So , uh ,as it is , it 's sort of a {pause} ad - hoc combination of stuff Dan set and stuff I set up , which we may wanna make a little more formal . So .PhD B: And the otherthing is that , um , University of Washington may want to start recording meetings as well ,Grad A: Right .PhD B: in which case w w we 'll have to decide what we've actually got so that we can give them a copy .Grad A: That 's right .Undergrad D: A field trip .Grad A: Yeah . I was actually thinking I wouldn't mind spendingthe summer up there . That would be kind of fun .PhD B: Oh , really ?Grad A: Yeah . Visit my friends and spend some time {disfmarker}PhD B: Different for you .Yes .Grad A: Well , and then also I have a bunch of stuff for doing this digits . So I have a bunch of scripts with X Waves , and some Perl scripts , and other thingsthat make it really easy to extract out {vocalsound} and align where the digits are . And if U d UW 's going to do the same thing I think it 's worth while for themto do these digits tasks as well .Undergrad D: Mm - hmm .Grad A: And what I 've done is pretty ad - hoc , um , so we might wanna change it over to something a


Project Manager: Good morning . Sorry ? Yeah , busy job . Good morning . So {disfmarker} Oh , good morning everyone .User Interface: Good morning.Industrial Designer: Good morning .Project Manager: I'd uh like to welcome you to our first meeting . I've prepared a little presentation . My name is {gap} anduh I hope you will introduce yourself uh in a few minutes , as will I . Um I'm the Project Manager of this project , and uh , well I will tell you {gap} on whatactually is the project . This is uh the agenda for our first meeting . Um this is the opening , then we will get {disfmarker} {gap} I will hope we will get acquaintedto each other . We'll do a little tool training with these two things . We'll take a look at the project plan . Uh there will be time for discussion . Actually we have todiscuss because we have to create a product . And then we will close this session . Um but first of all we I'd like to uh introduce you to this room . Um as youprobably have noticed there are little black uh fields on the table . Um you have to put your laptop exactly in that field so the little cameras can see your face .Um there are camerasIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: everywhere around the room especially here for your face , of course , and this isn't apie , it's a a set of microphonesIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and there are microphones here also . But please uh don't be afraid of them.User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: They won't hurt you . Um well uhUser Interface: Well {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: I said I'm the Project Manager and uh I'm hoping uh for a good project and uh I'd like to hear uh who you are and what your functions are uh on thisproject . Let's start with the ladies {vocalsound} {vocalsound} .User Interface: Well uh I'm uh {gap} and my uh function is User Interface Design , I think.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} So uh that's me .Industrial Designer: Okay , uh I'm {gap} uh I'm the Industrial Designer and Iuh hope to uh {disfmarker} look forward to uh a very uh pleasing uh end of this uh project .Project Manager: Okay , so I .User Interface: Me too .Marketing: Myname's {gap} . I'm uh {vocalsound} Marketing Expert . {vocalsound} My job is in the company to promote company or promote products to the customers . So Ialso h hope we have a pleasant uh working with uh with each other .Project Manager: Okay , well we have some expertise from uh different pieces of the of thecompany .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: That's good . Um well I said uh we're working on a project and the aim for the project is to to create a{disfmarker} to design a new remote control which uh has to be original , trendy and of course , user friendly . {vocalsound} And uh I hope we have theexpertise to create such a project {disfmarker} such a product . Um the way we hope to achieve that is uh the following methods . It consists of three phases ,namely the functional design , conceptual design and detailed design . As you can see , all of these phases consists of two parts , namely individual work part anda meeting where we will discuss uh our work so far . Okay . But first I will uh tell you something about the tools we have here . I already talked about thecameras and microphones , but they are not of uh much use to us . Uh we will have to take advantage of these two things . They are smart boards . As you cansee , you can give a presentation on them . And uh this one here is a white board . I will uh instruct you about that soon . Um as you also noticed uh thispresentation document is in our uh project folder and every document you put in this folder uh is uh it is possible to show that here in our meeting room . Um andyeah there are available on both smart boards but I think we will uh mainly use this one for the documents in the shared folder . As you can see , this is the sametool bar uh as is located here . Um the most functions uh we will use will be to to add a new page , um uh to go back and forward between pages , and of courseuh to save it every now and then . Um and this is the pen with which you can draw on the board , for instance like this if everything's okay ,User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: but I first have to put it on the pen , you see I'm new to it too .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um and then youcan write things like test or whatever you want .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh .Project Manager: As you can see you have to move it alittle bit slow , it's not such a fast board , it's a smart board but also a slow board .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Uh but you can write things and of course you can also , when you click here , uh erase things , so we have uh est left . And um you can also delete anentire page , but we ask you not to do that . Just simply create a new one and uh start all over because we want to save all the results . Um does everyoneunderstand thisUser Interface: {vocalsound} So we can't erase anything .Project Manager: nice application ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Well you can erase it with the eraser , but uh you shouldn't delete an entire page , but just create a new blank one .User Interface: Right.Marketing: SProject Manager: I will delete this one now because we don't use it yet .User Interface: Alright .Project Manager: But you can of course erase whenyou make a mistake , but don't uh delete entire pages . And you can also um let's see I think it's here uh change the uh colour of your pen , for instance take ablue one and uh change the line width like to five . Um that's what you will need for our first exercise , because I'm uh going to ask you to draw your favouriteanimal .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: It's also to gets to know each other because um I'm asking three things, uh for that uh drawing ,Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: to do it on a blank sheet , with different colours and I just showed you how to pick a colour ,and also with different pen widths which I also showed you . Um and a favourite characteristic can be just uh one word . Well I'm not very good at drawing , but Iwill uh go first and um try to draw {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Or maybe you should guess what I'm drawing , eh .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Good .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hmm.Marketing: {gap} No .User Interface: It's a sheep . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: DinosIndustrialDesigner: Seal , a seal . {vocalsound}Marketing: Dinosaur .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Beaver .User Interface: {gap} A beaver .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: A be {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well it uhUser Interface: It's weird . {vocalsound}Project Manager: could be everything.Industrial Designer: Mm . With a tail and a mouth .Project Manager: Maybe when I put onUser Interface: It has wings ?Marketing: Turtle .Project Manager: thisthing it could be a turtle , or a snail ,Industrial Designer: Snail . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well the snail doesn't have legs .Industrial Designer:Okay .Project Manager: But a turtle has . And those are slow . And I hope our project group will not be slow ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:but we will uh work to a good resultIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and do it uh as fast as we can . Okay , time for another animal . Wouldyou like to go next ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} No problem . No problem .Industrial Designer: Sure .User Interface: {vocalsound} Ohright .Marketing: Mm . It was four months ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Nice , okay .User Interface: Well . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} The hell .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} To make it a little bit easier . {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound} It's a giraffe.Industrial Designer: Make that cute . {vocalsound}User Interface: Or a dinosaur . {vocalsound}Marketing: No , it's a giraffe . 'Kay .User Interface:{gap}Marketing: I think it's easy to r uh to recognise as a giraffe .User Interface: Yes . Giraffe .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah , the favourite charis characteristic is that the long neck , {vocalsound} it can reach everything . And I hope I can also reach a lot with thisproject . So that's my favourite animal .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Anything else you need to know ?Project Manager: Could you write the words , uhunderneath it ? Or more words .Marketing: Oh , uh {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Tall . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Tall . So,User Interface: Should I uh {disfmarker}Marketing: 'kay .User Interface: Alright .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: So I can draw , but uh {disfmarker} Uh . Well. {vocalsound} Oh .Industrial Designer: B {vocalsound}Marketing: It's a mouse .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Bunny rabbit .{vocalsound}Marketing: A bunny rabbit . {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} Oh wrong one . Uh . {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well uhIndustrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: you can guess what it is , I hope . {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh-huh .No problem .Project Manager: Little rabbits .User Interface: It's a rabbit .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} And uh well uh it's uhquick , I guess . That's uh my uh favourite animal . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , thank you .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: And our finaldrawing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Bob Ross .User Interface: A dolphin . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Okay , um .Marketing: Dolphin .Industrial Designer: Uh I uh draw I I've drawn a dolphin because of its intelligence .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Right .Industrial Designer: One of the most intelligent uhProject Manager:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: animals in our world .User Interface: Well .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah intelligent.User Interface: With an E_ .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I've I've uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Eraser.Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: You can try out the eraser now . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Pen . Well notperfect , but okay .Project Manager: Okay , wellUser Interface: {gap}Project Manager: thank you very much . I can see we have some uh drawing talent uh inthis group ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Not really . {vocalsound}Project Manager: huh ? Well , nice animals , nice words .Sounds good . Um back to business , back to the money part . Um from the finance department I have learned that we are aiming for a selling price of twenty fiveEuros . And we're hoping for a aim of fifty million Euros and uh we are hoping to achieve that uh by aiming for an international market . And the production cost


Professor E: So . OK . Doesn't look like it crashed . That 's great .Grad G: So I think maybe what 's causing it to crash is I keep starting it and then stopping it tosee if it 's working . And so I think starting it and then stopping it and starting it again causes it to crash . So , I won't do that anymore .Postdoc B: And it lookslike you 've found a way of uh mapping the location to the {disfmarker} without having people have to give their names each time ?PhD A: Sounds like aninitialization thing .Postdoc B: I mean it 's like you have the {disfmarker} So you know that {disfmarker}Grad G: No .Postdoc B: I mean , are you going to writedown {pause} that I sat here ?Grad G: I 'm gonna collect the digit forms and write it down .Postdoc B: OK .PhD C: Oh , OK .Grad G: So {disfmarker} So theyshould be right with what 's on the digit forms . OK , so I 'll go ahead and start with digits . u And I should say that uh , you just pau you just read each line anand then pause briefly .Professor E: And start by giving the transcript number .PhD A: TranPhD D: Transcript {disfmarker} Uh . OK , OK .PhD A: Oh sorry , goahead .Professor E: So uh , you see , Don , the unbridled excitement of the work that we have on this project .Grad H: OK .Professor E: It 's just uh{disfmarker}Grad H: Umh .Professor E: Uh , you know , it doesn't seem like a bad idea to have {comment} that information .Grad G: And I 'm surprised I sort of{disfmarker} I 'm surprised I forgot that ,Professor E: Yeah , I {disfmarker} I 'd {disfmarker} I think it 's someGrad G: but uh I think that would be a good thingto add . After I just printed out a zillion of them .Professor E: Yeah , well , that 's {disfmarker} Um , so I {disfmarker} I do have a {disfmarker} a an agendasuggestion . Uh , we {disfmarker} I think the things that we talk about in this meeting uh tend to be a mixture of uh procedural uh mundane things and uhresearch points and um I was thinking I think it was a meeting a couple of weeks ago that we {disfmarker} we spent much of the time talking about the mundanestuff cuz that 's easier to get out of the way and then we sort of drifted into the research and maybe five minutes into that Andreas had to leave . So{vocalsound} uh I 'm suggesting we turn it around and {disfmarker} and uh sort of we have {disfmarker} anybody has some mundane points that we could sendan email later , uh hold them for a bit , and let 's talk about the {disfmarker} the research - y kind of things . Um , so um the one th one thing I know that wehave on that is uh we had talked a {disfmarker} a couple weeks before um uh about the uh {disfmarker} the stuff you were doing with {disfmarker} with uh umuh l l attempting to locate events , we had a little go around trying to figure out what you meant by " events " but I think , you know , what we had meant by "events " I guess was uh points of overlap between speakers . But I th I gather from our discussion a little earlier today that you also mean uh interruptions withsomething elsePhD D: Yeah .Professor E: like some other noise .PhD D: Uh - huh . Yeah .Professor E: Yes ? You mean that as an event also .PhD D: ToProfessorE: So at any rate you were {disfmarker} you 've {disfmarker} you 've done some work on thatPhD D: right .Professor E: and um then the other thing would be itmight be nice to have a preliminary discussion of some of the other uh research uh areas that uh we 're thinking about doing . Um , I think especially since you{disfmarker} you haven't been in {disfmarker} in these meetings for a little bit , maybe you have some discussion of some of the p the plausible things to look atnow that we 're starting to get data , uh and one of the things I know that also came up uh is some discussions that {disfmarker} that uh {disfmarker} that uhJane had with Lokendra uh about some {disfmarker} some {disfmarker} some um uh work about I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I d I {disfmarker} I don't wantto try to say cuz I {disfmarker} I 'll say it wrong , but anyway some {disfmarker} some potential collaboration there about {disfmarker} about the {disfmarker}about the {disfmarker} working with these data .PhD C: Oh . Sure .Professor E: So . So , uh .Grad G: You wanna just go around ?Professor E: Uh . {pause} Well ,I don't know if we {disfmarker} if this is sort of like everybody has something to contribute sort of thing , I think there 's just just a couple {disfmarker} a couplepeople primarily um but um Uh , wh why don't {disfmarker} Actually I think that {disfmarker} that last one I just said we could do fairly quickly so why don't you{disfmarker} you start with that .Postdoc B: OK . Shall I {disfmarker} shall I just start ? OK .Professor E: Yeah , just explain what it was .Postdoc B: Um , so , uh, he was interested in the question of {disfmarker} you know , relating to his {disfmarker} to the research he presented recently , um of inference structures ,and uh , the need to build in , um , this {disfmarker} this sort of uh mechanism for understanding of language . And he gave the example in his talk about how{pause} um , e a I 'm remembering it just off the top of my head right now , but it 's something about how um , i " Joe slipped " you know , " John had washedthe floor " or something like that . And I don't have it quite right , but that kind of thing , where you have to draw the inference that , OK , there 's this timesequence , but also the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the causal aspects of the uh floor and {disfmarker} and how it might have been the cause of the fall andthat um it was the other person who fell than the one who cleaned it and it {disfmarker} {comment} These sorts of things . So , I looked through the transcriptthat we have so far , {comment} and um , fou identified a couple different types of things of that type and um , one of them was something like uh , during thecourse of the transcript , um um , w we had gone through the part where everyone said which channel they were on and which device they were on , and um ,the question was raised " Well , should we restart the recording at this point ? " And {disfmarker} and Dan Ellis said , " Well , we 're just so far ahead of the gameright now {pause} we really don't need to " . Now , how would you interpret that without a lot of inference ? So , the inferences that are involved are things like ,OK , so , how do you interpret " ahead of the game " ? You know . So it 's the {disfmarker} it 's {pause} i What you {disfmarker} what you int what you draw{disfmarker} you know , the conclusions that you need to draw are that space is involved in recording ,Grad G: Hmm , metaphorically .Postdoc B: that um , i that{pause} i we have enough space , and he continues , like " we 're so ahead of the game cuz now we have built - in downsampling " . So you have to sort of getthe idea that um , " ahead of the game " is sp speaking with respect to space limitations , that um that in fact downsampling is gaining us enough space , andthat therefore we can keep the recording we 've done so far . But there are a lot of different things like that .Grad G: So , do you think his interest is in using thisas {pause} a data source , or {pause} training material , or what ?Professor E: Well , I {disfmarker} I should maybe interject to say this started off with adiscussion that I had with him , so um we were trying to think of ways that his interests could interact with oursGrad G: Mm - hmm .Professor E: and um uh Ithought that if we were going to project into the future when we had a lot of data , uh and um such things might be useful for that in or before we invested toomuch uh effort into that he should uh , with Jane 's help , look into some of the data that we 're {disfmarker} already have and see , is there anything to this atall ?Grad G: Mm - hmm .Professor E: Is there any point which you think that , you know , you could gain some advantage and some potential use for it . Cuz itcould be that you 'd look through it and you say " well , this is just the wrong {pause} task for {disfmarker} for him to pursue his {disfmarker} "Grad G: Wrong ,yeah .Professor E: And {disfmarker} and uh I got the impression from your mail that in fact there was enough things like this just in the little sample that{disfmarker} that you looked at that {disfmarker} that it 's plausible at least .Postdoc B: It 's possible . Uh , he was {disfmarker} he {disfmarker} he{disfmarker} you know {disfmarker} We met and he was gonna go and uh you know , y look through them more systematicallyProfessor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: andthen uh meet again .Professor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: So it 's , you know , not a matter of a {disfmarker}Professor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: But , yeah , I think{disfmarker} I think it was optimistic .Professor E: So anyway , that 's {disfmarker} that 's e a quite different thing from anything we 've talked about that , youknow , might {disfmarker} might {disfmarker} might come out from some of this .PhD C: But he can use text , basically . I mean , he 's talking about just usingtextPostdoc B: That 's his major {disfmarker} I mentioned several that w had to do with implications drawn from intonational contoursPhD C: pretty much , or{disfmarker} ?Postdoc B: and {pause} that wasn't as directly relevant to what he 's doing . He 's interested in these {disfmarker} these knowledge structures,PhD C: OK .PhD D: Yeah , interesting .Postdoc B: inferences that you draw {pause} i from {disfmarker}Professor E: I mean , he certainly could use text , but wewere in fact looking to see if there {disfmarker} is there {disfmarker} is there something in common between our interest in meetings and his interest in{disfmarker} in {disfmarker} in this stuff . So .Grad G: And I imagine that transcripts of speech {disfmarker} I mean text that is speech {disfmarker} probablyhas more of those than sort of prepared writing . I {disfmarker} I don't know whether it would or not , but it seems like it would .Professor E: I don't know ,probably de probably depends on what the prepared writing was . But .Postdoc B: Yeah , I don't think I would make that leap , because i in narratives , you know{disfmarker} I mean , if you spell out everything in a narrative , it can be really tedious ,Grad G: Mm - hmm .Postdoc B: so .Grad G: Yeah , I 'm just thinking ,you know , when you 're {disfmarker} when you 're face to face , you have a lot of backchannel and {disfmarker} And {disfmarker}Postdoc B: Oh . That aspect.Grad G: Yeah . And so I think it 's just easier to do that sort of broad inference jumping if it 's face to face . I mean , so , if I just read that Dan was saying " we're ahead of the game " {comment} in that {disfmarker} in that context ,Postdoc B: Well {disfmarker} Yeah .Grad G: I might not realize that he was talkingabout disk space as opposed to anything else .Postdoc B: I {disfmarker} you know , I {disfmarker} I had several that had to do with backchannels and thiswasn't one of them .Grad G: Uh - huh .Postdoc B: This {disfmarker} this one really does um m make you leap from {disfmarker} So he said , you know , " we 'reahead of the game , w we have built - in downsampling " .Grad G: Mm - hmm .Postdoc B: And the inference , i if you had it written down , would be{disfmarker}Grad G: I guess it would be the same .Postdoc B: Uh - huh . But there are others that have backchannelling , it 's just he was less interested in those.PhD F: Can I {disfmarker} Sorry to interrupt . Um , I f f f I 've {disfmarker} @ @ {comment} d A minute {disfmarker} uh , several minutes ago , I , like , briefly


Marketing: Is this okay ?Project Manager: Uh yeah . Fine now . Oh , it's not liking us , it went that-a-way . Computer adjusting . Oh . Uh . Okay . {vocalsound} So. Right . You ready back there ? {vocalsound} Uh okay . Welcome everyone . Um this is the kick-off meeting for the day . Um we're the new group uh to create anew remote control for Real Reaction . As you can see our agenda is to open up the meeting , um become acquainted with each other , um have a little trainingon tools , uh create a plan , discuss things and and we only have twenty minut twenty five minutes total . Okay . The new remote control is to be original , trendyand user-friendly . That , Steph , is your part , is the user-friendliness . The originality um is gonna take all of us . Um the trendiness we'll probably go look at{disfmarker} for some marketing research information from you , Sarah . Um and we'll get on with it . Okay , so we'll have a functional design individual work umwith meeting and then conceptual design t and then detailed design . Okay ? Right . Everybody's supposed to try out the whiteboard . Kate , why don't you try itfirst , if you can either bring your things with you , I guess {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh yeah , if I can pick up with all these bits and pieces , hang on.Project Manager: And while you're doing that we'll try and figure out how to hook these things on as well , 'cause we're all gonna have to be able to walk around.Industrial Designer: Uh right , so you want an animal and the characteristics of that animal . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Doyou have to be able to recognise what animal it is ? {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh I do not think so ,User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound} Are we all gonna draw a cat ?Project Manager: I think it's just to try out the whiteboard . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Ah {vocalsound} .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Only animal I could thin I could draw {vocalsound} .Marketing: I know .Industrial Designer: Its a sort of bunny rabbit cat .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You can tell it's not a bunny rabbit by the ears .Project Manager:Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: Um I suppose it should have a mouth as well , sort of {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Right , yeah .ProjectManager: Great . And the characteristics ?Industrial Designer: Um the favourite characteristics of the cat um {disfmarker} the whiskers I think , um becausethey're the easiest to draw .Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: In fact , I'll give it some more {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Oh , and the tailProject Manager: Fantastic . Since you're handy as well , why don't you do yours next , Steph . I think it's to get us usedto using the pen .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yes . Um sure it's not to test our artistic {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh no . {vocalsound} A mouse-y?Industrial Designer: It's a mouse .User Interface: That's not a mouse-y , no .Industrial Designer: No it's not a mouse . It's a wombat .Project Manager: Oh .UserInterface: It's a ratty .Project Manager: Argh .Industrial Designer: A what ?Project Manager: Rat .User Interface: A ratty .Project Manager: Not a mouse , a rat.Industrial Designer: A webbed foot . Webbed f {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} It's clothes . That's it's clothes . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Oh right {vocalsound} .User Interface: It's a ratty with a with a with a very long tail .Project Manager: And your favouritecharacteristics of that animal .User Interface: I love whiskers . Uh they're intelligent and they're cheeky {vocalsound} and uh fantastic petsProject Manager: Oh.User Interface: and very friendly .Project Manager: Okay . Kate ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: And they sit on your shoulderand whisper the answers to your homework in your ear when you're doing your homework .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Thanks .Project Manager:Oh , a fish .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Gosh ,User Interface: A shark ?Industrial Designer: why didn't I think of fish ? That's even easier to draw than cat .{vocalsound}Marketing: Mm {vocalsound} this is very representational fish . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh , okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Fine .Marketing: Um I like them because they're sleekProject Manager: Favourite characteristics ?Marketing: and they have a lot of freedom but theyalso do n uh swim in groups ,Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: so .Project Manager: So they have team elements . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: Do you have a favourite one ?Project Manager: I'm afraid I'm with Steph . And I think your pen's running out of whatever . But I'mafraid I take the coward's way out , and the cat's looking the other way . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: He's hiding .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um cats are sometimes very independent . My parents had cats . Uh and they can mm decidefor themselves what is best . Okay . Now um {vocalsound} we have to get down to the nitty-gritty of how to make this and this remote control has to be sold{disfmarker} um we're to sell it for twenty five Euros , with a profit aim ultimately of fifty million Euros . That tells you something about how many um we have tosell on an international scale . Um would be an awful lot of these , would be like what , a hundred million of them um to make twenty five Euros on each one andto make a total profit of fifty million . Um the production is to only cost twelve and a half Euros per item . Now if they cost twelve and a half , you're selling it fortwenty five , you're making twelve and a half Euros each . Um and we're to make a profit of fifty million , that's t uh {disfmarker} can you do the maths and howmany are we selling ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh yeah . {vocalsound} I was just wondering if that's the um {disfmarker} If fifty percent is normal{disfmarker}Project Manager: Mark-up ?Marketing: B yeah . Um I would think would be more like sixty percent . But um let me {disfmarker}Project Manager:Okay .Marketing: I have two thoughts . One hundred , fifty percent .Project Manager: {gap}Marketing: And and your question is how many do we have to sell?Project Manager: Yes , 'cause our market um is international and your problem is {disfmarker} has to do with marketing of {disfmarker} you know , you gottaknow how many we're going to be selling to know how big a market you have to target and who is that .Marketing: At twenty five . Mm-hmm . Yeah , that's um{disfmarker}Project Manager: To give you a pretty good idea of where you're looking .Marketing: So that's four million of them ?Project Manager: Something likethat ? Okay .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: That's fifty million Euros . In order to make fifty million Euros , and you're only getting twelve and a half each{disfmarker}Marketing: And if we make {disfmarker} Mm-hmm .Project Manager: That's a lot of selling . Two four {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . Four million.Project Manager: To be fifty , be four million . You'd have to sell four million .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Okay ? Right . Experience with a remote control. Any of you use of remote control for a television or D_V_D_ or something ? You're both nodding ,Industrial Designer: That that that's the sorta product we'retalking about , one that will work for a {disfmarker} in a home environment , for a T_V_s and {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: all three . Well I'veseen some remote controls that are for more than one device at a time , but I also have heard about them not working well or not well co-ordinated and you windup working with this one for thi this three and then this one over here for another .User Interface: It is true that you always sit around {disfmarker} you know ,you're sitting on your sofa and you wanna change something , there's five different remotes , and one for the D_V_D_ and one for the video and one for cable andone for whatever else .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm . Y yeah .Project Manager: And they don't always talk to each other .UserInterface: But I presume this is t I presume this is just for television .Project Manager: Don't know . Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Are thereany um ideas for the remote ? What would it be for and what group would be be for ? We have to think about that one .Marketing: We could make a HelloKittyIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: themed remote .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: I think one in b bright colours would be good .{vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I think one that works would be good . {vocalsound}Marketing: We could totally go for theJapan-a-mation . Well I mean there's also the cachet that um uh the Japanese make great {vocalsound} products . Electrical {disfmarker} their industrial designis very good .User Interface: I think one that doesn't have lots of superfluous functions . Like I've got one at home that has well , apart from the obvious ,channels , channel up , channel down , volume ,Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: you know , subtitles , mute , there's a lotta buttons that I've got no idea whatthey do , like {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Well , that's a really good point ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: because I think one ofthe things that {disfmarker} being somewhat computer literate , we tend to um go to menus and then make choices , you know , so if it's like an uh volumebutton , you know , you can go in and say mute or or volume . We don't need to have like the l the numbers if we also have uh uh channel up channel down .UserInterface: Mm .Project Manager: Mm . {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: Mm . We can make it smart like an iPod , you know , make everything menus .UserInterface: Ooh , closing the meeting .Project Manager: Yeah . Um I know this sounds like it was very quick ,User Interface: That was quick .Project Manager: butthe I think that's the industrial design is the first one ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: that's Kate , for the working design .Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And user , that's you S Steph , for the technical functions design , and for marketing the user requirements specification . I thinkthere's going to be a lot of {disfmarker} we have to help each other and work through this as a group , and I think we all , you know , {vocalsound} we like ourkitty-cat and our rat and our fish , but I think we all have to like each other um to get this done . Uh as it says , we're gonna get individual instructions , but uh Idon't think they allowed a lot of extra time , so I think a little bit of less of this and more at do will set us in good stead . Do you all agree ?Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Alright . Um then I don't see any reason to prolong it and f we should finish this meeting at ni right nowand go into other things . Alright , so this is the end of the first meeting .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: 'Kay .Project Manager: Thank you all .


Project Manager: Right uh . So um . So where's the PowerPoint presentation ? Sorry ? Microsoft PowerPoint , right . Right , okay . So . Right . Okay , so we've gotuh so we've got new project requirements . Um . So basically we've got three things , and we've got forty minutes in which to uh {disfmarker} for this meeting touh to discuss the various options . Um . Three presentations .Industrial Designer: We have a {disfmarker} I guess we have a presentation each , 'cause I've gotone . Um .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah ,Project Manager: I see , right .Marketing: I've got one too .Project Manager: That's nice to know , one fromeach of you . Um new project requirements . Um so do we want to do the presentation first , or do we want to um {disfmarker} W I I got um {gap} or or threethings basically , um relating to the remote being only for T_V_ . We discussed that last timeIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and in actual factthat was pr pretty well what we came up with anyway .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So in fact it actually f we won't be forestalled {vocalsound} in asense .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: Um we've got uh teletext outdated . Um did you get anyinformation on that ?Industrial Designer: Uh we didn't , no .User Interface: No .Project Manager: Right and the corporate image was the uh final thing .IndustrialDesigner: I d I didn't personally .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: So I I got that in email form .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um . Right okay. So I guess if we go ahead with the uh with the three presentations . So we'll start with yourself on the basis that uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Okaythat's fine . I'll just um I'll grab the wire out the back of this one .Project Manager: Sorry , yep .Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Oh . {vocalsound}User Interface: What is it ?Industrial Designer: I'm not quite sure how it {disfmarker}User Interface: I think you've got to do umcontrol F_ eight .Industrial Designer: Control {gap} {disfmarker} Doesn't seem to be quite working at the moment .User Interface: Shift F_ eight . {vocalsound}{gap}Industrial Designer: Alt function F_ eight . {vocalsound} Again not doing anything .Marketing: {vocalsound} There's usually a little thing in the top right forthe {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh .User Interface: Ah there ,Marketing: Oh hang on ,User Interface: it's doing something .Marketing: it's just coming on.Industrial Designer: {gap} pressed about five times now .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , that's me {gap} .Okay , um I have to go {gap} again .Project Manager: {gap} it going ?Industrial Designer: Hopefully that should be it this time . Okay , I think we're there .That's good . Okay , um {disfmarker} Okay I'm gonna be looking at the working design . Um {vocalsound} of the of the remote control . Um I've just got threesections , first is the research I made on the on the remote control itself um . And then that involves the components required in it and the systems uh design ofthe actual the actual remote . Um so having researched the existing models within the market , um I found my research off the internet . Um I've establishedwhat the components required for the remote control to function , actually are . And then also the methods in which these components interact together for theremote to actually do what you want it to do and how it connects with the television . Um the basic components are an energy source which I guess um in mostexisting models would be a battery supply . Whether that'll be sort of two batteries , four batteries , um it may vary .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer:We then have the user interface , which is basically the like the the buttons on the actual remote . Um the various functions used for changing channel , uhchannel up and down , volume , things like that . Um there's also a chip inside the remote which does all the computer type things . And then the sender , whichum is usually , I've found , an infra-red device which sends a signal to the actual television . Um and the last part is receiver which is important in the system butis not actually part of the remote itself , because that's obviously found in the television . {gap} . Um I'm gonna have to actually draw on the board because uh itwas a little tricky on PowerPoint to get this working , so . I'll just go through there . S um um do we have a cloth to wipe this down with , or ? Oh I'll jProjectManager: Uh there's the rubber on the right , I think .User Interface: I think it's that little {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh I see . Oh okay . I'll get rid of thebear.$Project Manager: {gap} it's magic . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay that's great . Okay , so we start off with a um batterysuppl Uh no , a power supply which we'd probably get {disfmarker} it's probably gonna be the battery . Um we then have a particular button , which may be{disfmarker} {gap} that's obviously there's lots and lots of different buttons . Um but this is how the basic system works . Um that sends {gap} after you pressthat that sends the message to the chip , which um then sends {disfmarker} It sort of interprets which button you've pressed and then sends the appropriatemessage to the sender . {vocalsound} Um . So that's {gap} . That's the remote in itself , that's the components of the remote and how they work together . Sothis is the uh user interface . Um this is the chip itself , which then {gap} , and that's the that's the infra-red sender . And then on the separate thing we have onthe on the television we have a a receiver . And the sender sends a message to the receiver . 'Kay .Project Manager: So the the top bit's the power source , yes ?{gap} .Industrial Designer: Ah yes , that's the power source . Um . {gap} going on to personal preferences , I've said that battery seems the best option for theactual remote , just because of the size . You don't want a a cable attached to the remote otherwise it's not it's not really a remote . Um and then the sender,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and infra-red um has been used quite successfully . If the battery's on reasonable power , they always seem towork fairly well . You don't have to be point directly at the television itself .Project Manager: So the battery is the {disfmarker} in the sender .Industrial Designer:Um {disfmarker} Yes . 'Kay and that's it for the moment .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay . So , now more design . {vocalsound}User Interface: Right .Thank you . Mine's not quite as complicated as all that .Project Manager: {vocalsound} That's what we like to hear . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Did I press function ? Yeah .Project Manager: Is it control function ei Oh , th there you go .User Interface: Oh . Um . Okay so I'm gonna talk a bit about thetechnical functions design . I'm Louisa , the User Interface Designer , as you know . {vocalsound} Um so the m basic method of this is to send a signal from theremote to the television set , so that a desired function is performed . Um an example of the function could be to change the volume up or down , uh so obviouslyyou need two different buttons for that . Um to change the channel , either by pressing the number that you want or by channel up or down . Um to switch thetelevision on or off , maybe a standby button . Um here are two example remotes . Um by the look of it they both have um kind of play and fast forward , rewindfunctions , so I think they incorporate a kind of video function which we won't have to worry about . Uh but as you can see , the left remote is quite um quite busylooking , quite complicated . Um whereas the right remote is much simpler , it looks much more user friendly . Um so my personal preference would be the rightremote . So , {vocalsound} it's got nice big buttons , it's got a very limited number of buttons . Um they're nice , kinda clearly labelled . Um I like the use of thekind of um symbols like the triangles and the squares and the arrows as well as the words on the um kind of play functions and all that . So it's very very userfriendly , and it's got a little splash of colour . Could maybe do with some more colour . Um .Project Manager: Well there's a couple of things there . Um we haveto remember that we have our own um logo and colour scheme . So basically we'd have to uh we'd have to be putting that on um the the product .User Interface:Hmm . Do we get to see that ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} I haven't as yet , no .User Interface: Will you be presenting that in a bit ? {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} But uh I got uh I got an email that basically said to uh make sure that uh whatever device we come up with at the end of the day had toincorporate um the corporate colour and slogan . So uh I'm guessing that uh uh I notice on the bottom there it's got uh what's that ? A_P_O_G_E_E_ that mightbe the corporate colour scheme , although the only the only colour I can see in that is the red .Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: Hmm .IndustrialDesigner: 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 coulddispense 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?Industrial Designer: J yeah yeah yeah j yeahUser Interface: Like all of that bottom bit ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: just this little bit isthat {disfmarker} I think that's still um a video remote part ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: so maybe we could get rid of that as well .User Interface:Yeah . And I don't really think that you need nine numbers .Project Manager: Well b uh wUser Interface: I mean how often do you use seven , eight and nine ? Ithink just one to six and then channel up and down should be enough .Project Manager: Well th the on the {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Like howoften do you hit nine ?Project Manager: Well uh for for general television purposes obviously you have channels one to five at this point in time ,Marketing:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and we'd have to have some room for uh future such channels . But but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: It's just people are used toseeing that , so if we didn't have them then they might think it's {disfmarker} {gap}Project Manager: But , well possibly but the the other thing is that with umthe current expansion of uh channels uh in the process of taking place , certainly the button up and down , but uh I mean {vocalsound} how many channels dowe have to um {disfmarker} actual television channels do we have to uh prepare for ? I would have thought that uh {gap} it's forever expanding and at themoment we've got {disfmarker} although you've onl you've got the five standard , you've got the B_B_C_ have come up with a further sixIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: and uh there's uh I don't know exactly how many channels there are on uh when you take into account uh Sky and various otherum various others .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: So I would've thought that we wouldn't , you know , rather{disfmarker}User Interface: Hmm .Project Manager: Okay , if the time of flicking from one to other , but presumably it'll take a secondUser Interface:


Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound} Je croix que c'est dommage de le {disfmarker} it will be sad to destroy this prototype . It really looks like a banana .UserInterface: {vocalsound} It is a banana .Project Manager: It is a banana . {vocalsound}User Interface: It is the essence of bananas . I would be confused with thisthing .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:SProject Manager: Okay .Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}User Interface: How is everyone ?Project Manager: Hi .Industrial Designer: Hi .Project Manager: Sowe are here for the detailed design meeting .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} So {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: we will uh {disfmarker} I will first present what we are going to do in this meeting . Then uh I've {disfmarker} I will also take notes during this meetingand I will send you uh a summary then as usual . We will then look at the evaluation criteria of the prototype presented by uh our two colleagues that make goodwork .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} And uh then we will see the financial aspects and the cost of theproduct . Then we will uh evaluate the product . And uh end with the conclusion of this project and see whether it fits with {disfmarker} it fulf if it fulfil therequirement or not . SoIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: d let's start with the cost aspect so so I look at the aspect discussed last time , that is tosay uh to have a standard battery , {vocalsound} to have a yellow banana shaped uh case with uh a rubber material around itIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: to be uh to feel spongy ,User Interface: Like a banana .Project Manager: {vocalsound} and uh also at the different aspect likehaving a wheel etcetera .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And the cost ended to be ten point seven Euros . So which isuh good , because we had a price gap of twelve point five Euros .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So for the financial aspect it's okay , we can uh{disfmarker} we can continue with this product uh as if ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} and we are now going to see the projectevaluation with uh our marketing expert .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . Okay . So uh you can have my project in {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . Youhave a presentation ?Marketing: Uh yeah just a {disfmarker}Project Manager: Participant four , yes .Marketing: {vocalsound} Four . Evaluation .Project Manager:Okay . Okay .Marketing: Okay . So you can go . We can go through .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So I made an evaluation and the the evaluation criteria ismade according to {vocalsound} the users' requirements and the market trends we talked about uh during the previous uh meetings . So you can go through and{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: okay so uh we have uh six points . We we talked about before .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So we wewant to have a product fancy look and feel , technologically innovative , easy to use , fashion , {vocalsound} easy to find in a room , and robust ,Project Manager:Yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: uh and uh uh I have a scale of uh seven points .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Okay . So I go through allthe uh all the points here ,Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: and uh according to what you think about the this project you can uh mm make a one point , twopoint or seven point . Okay ?Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: And after we ha we have an an average , and uh we see .Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Mm-hmm .Marketing: The {disfmarker} okay ? {vocalsound} Uh so uh fancy look and feel , what do you think ?Project Manager: Okay . Maybe you canpresen {vocalsound}Marketing: F between o one and seven .Project Manager: okay . Maybe {disfmarker} {vocalsound} hold it .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} So I think it's uh very uh very nice . What do you think ?User Interface: I give it a {disfmarker} I give it a five .Project Manager: Yeah .So it's between one and seven ? Seven is the highest uh ?Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Seven is the {disfmarker}Project Manager: I will give a six .IndustrialDesigner: I will give a a five .Marketing: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} And you ?Marketing: {gap} sorry .User Interface: Do you vote uhChristine ?Marketing: {gap} eh ?User Interface: Do you also vote ?Marketing: {vocalsound} No , I just want to see something {disfmarker}Project Manager:Maybe we all have to agree on a common {disfmarker}User Interface: Well , we can {gap} very easily {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh I think uh {gap} {vocalsound} and need to {gap} as well{vocalsound} .Project Manager: No problem . SoUser Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Need to {disfmarker}Project Manager: this is your{disfmarker}Marketing: uh I don't know if you {disfmarker} we ha we have to put uh one uh f If it's better or {disfmarker}Project Manager: One is most {gap}.User Interface: I {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh-uh .Project Manager: Well , we can choose what we want .Marketing: Um . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , let's saythat seven is the best .Marketing: Or maybe we can say s seven is the best mm {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Okay . So so do note the grade we have five , sixfor me ,Industrial Designer: Five .Project Manager: five . And what what's your choice ?Marketing: Oh sorry . {vocalsound}Project Manager: How much wouldyou give on the fancy aspect , on the fashionable aspect ?Marketing: Six {disfmarker} Uh s you can {disfmarker} how much what ?Project Manager: How muchwould you {disfmarker} you don't answer to this uh questionnaire ?Marketing: Oh yes I mm I dunno mm , I think six , it's a good uh {disfmarker}User Interface:So it will have five point five average .Project Manager: Five point five average .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Mm .Marketing: Wa can{gap} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Well , does it {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} I sorry .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay . So after , the technological aspect ?Project Manager: Okay , techne technological aspect .Marketing: So we we said uhwe have uh a new technological uh thing with a wheel .Project Manager: Yeah , we have the wheel . We also have the rubber material ,Marketing: Uh .ProjectManager: which make it uh like new also . I think I would give a five .User Interface: It's {gap} four .Project Manager: Four ?Industrial Designer: A four also ,because , except for the wheel , we don't have so much innovation .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: The rubber is {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay.Industrial Designer: Uh a four . I I {disfmarker}User Interface: D are we including the voice {disfmarker} are you glu are we including the voice in the end ornot ? Huh ?Project Manager: No .User Interface: No . Okay .Project Manager: SoMarketing: No .Project Manager: what's your uh grade ?Marketing: Four .ProjectManager: Four ? So we have four , four f and five ?Marketing: We can put four ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , four . Four , yeah , let's put four.User Interface: For twenty five .Marketing: Everyone is okay or {disfmarker} four poin Four .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Doesn't it{disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Very easy to use . Do you think it's easy to use ?Project Manager: Yeah , I think so . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .UserInterface: I give a seven , I think .Industrial Designer: Six .Project Manager: I would give a {disfmarker} I would give a seven as well . It's very easy to use.Industrial Designer: Six .Marketing: Mm , six for me also .Project Manager: SoUser Interface: 'Kay .Marketing: Six point five . {vocalsound}Project Manager: sixpoint five .Industrial Designer: Six six six point five .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound} Is it fashion ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ohyeah ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: its its f its fruit fruit shape .Marketing: Seven ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: I would say seven . And isvery very nice design .Marketing: Yeah it's fashion , because it's a fruit ,User Interface: Yeah , we can we can put a seven here .Marketing: and we say that the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , seven .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: yeah , seven .Project Manager: Yeah . Seven , okay .User Interface: Yeah . Well, we hope .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Easy to find .Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh easy to find in a room ? {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I lost my banana . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think you can'tmiss it .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: Uh .User Interface: Yeah , I think it's cool . I think wecan put a six here .Marketing: We have the lightning , or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , we have {vocalsound} the {vocalsound}Marketing: The lighting.Project Manager: we don't sesh especially have the lightningUser Interface: {vocalsound} So you'll make the material transparentProject Manager: but{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: so that it uh lights up completely , or {disfmarker}Project Manager: So it's yellow . It's okay .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah . {gap}Project Manager: I think it's very easy to {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: Seven ?Project Manager: I would say seven . It's hardto miss it .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Six . Yeah , okay .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Is it {disfmarker} is it robust ?Project Manager: Yeah , it'srubber , made of rubber ,Industrial Designer: Uh f yeah , it's ru it's rubber .Project Manager: I think it's m it's uh more rubber than uh other remote control.Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah the only problem there might be {disfmarker} which {gap} know , i if it's very sensitive ,ProjectManager: Yeah .User Interface: they will ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: I don't know {disfmarker}Project Manager: But it is uh {disfmarker} it issurrounded by rubber material .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , okay .Project Manager: So maybe we can put a six .Industrial Designer: Yeah.User Interface: Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound} Everybody is okay , six .Industrial Designer: Six or five . Five {vocalsound}Project Manager: Six is okay ?UserInterface: Six , yeah , for me .Industrial Designer: Six .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: S now{vocalsound} um so .Project Manager: Tadada . We have to sum up everything .User Interface: Twenty .Marketing: Thirteen uh , twenty , twenty six point five ,uh seven , thirty two , thirty six {gap} .User Interface: Thirty . ThirMarketing: That's that's okay ? Six .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Six is a good{disfmarker}User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Good . Uh if we say that seven it's uh it's the better ,Project Manager: Yeah , the be .Industrial Designer:


Project Manager: Good morning , again .Industrial Designer: One question .User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Send .UserInterface: Choose a number ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Submit . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yep yep yep yep .Project Manager: All set?Industrial Designer: Mm . Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Good . Okay . Let's see what we can find here . Okay . A very warm welcome again toeveryone .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um here we are already at our uh functional design meeting . Um and this is what we are going to do .The opening , which we are doing now , um and the special note , I'm project manager but on the meetings I'm also the secretary , which means I will make uhminutes as I did of the previous meeting .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And uh I also put these as fast as possible in the uh project folder ,so you can see them and review what we have discussed . Um if I'm right , there are three presentations , I guess each one of you has prepared one ? Good .UserInterface: Yes .Project Manager: And um we will also take a look at new project requirements , um if you haven't heard about them yet . And then of course wehave to take a decision on the remote control functions and we have some more time , forty minutes . But I think we will need it . Um well I don't know whowants to go first with his presentation .Industrial Designer: I'll go first . Okay . I'll go first yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: You can go first , okay .UserInterface: Well .Marketing: Well , shall I go first with the users ?User Interface: Well {vocalsound}Marketing: I think {disfmarker} well okay no problem .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Is there an order ? I haven't {disfmarker}User Interface: everybody already has his presentation ,Marketing: Ja precies , japrecies , ja preciesUser Interface: {vocalsound} so you can adjust it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So . Huh ? Okay , um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Andone question , uh your name Denni , is it with aMarketing: E_I_E_ .Project Manager: I_E_ {disfmarker} E_I_E_ , okay . Thank you .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , um I wanted to explain the working design of the remote control . It's possibly very handy if you want to uh design oneof those . Um {vocalsound} well so it basically works uh as I uh uh r wrote down uh in this uh little uh summary . Uh when you press a button , {vocalsound} uhthat's when you do pr for example when you uh want to turn up the volume , um a little connection is made uh the the rubber uh {vocalsound} button justpresses on aProject Manager: Sorry . {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: on a little print plate uh which uh makesuh uh {vocalsound} a connection that uh gives the chips , uh which is uh mounted beneath those uh that plastic of a rubber button . Uh senses that a connectionhas been made , and know and knows what button you pressed , becau uh for example the the volume up or volume down button . Um uh the the chip uh makesa Morse code uh like uh signal which uh then is si uh signalled {vocalsound} to uh several transistors which makes uh which sends the signal to a little let . Youknow what a let is ?User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay . {vocalsound} And that makes uh the the infra-red lights signal which is sent to thetelevision set . Uh which has a sensor in it to uh sense uh the signal of the infra-red . That's basically uh how it works . Um the findings uh uh that I found uhsearching up some uh detailed information about the remote controls , are that uh they are very easy to produce , uh it is pis uh it's possible to uh make them inmass production because it is as eas it is as easy as uh printing a page , uh just uh fibreglass plate um is b uh is uh covered with uh some uh coatings and uh uh{vocalsound} and chips .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh and the technology's already available , we don't have to find out how remotecontrols uh have to work or uh how that how uh to make some chips that are possible to uh to to transmit those uh signals . Uh I made a little uh uh animation of{vocalsound} about how a tran our uh remote controller works .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap}User Interface: Oh right .Marketing: {vocalsound}Animation . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} we telUser Interface: There is something turning .Industrial Designer:There .Project Manager: Yeah , it's a little bug it's in the in the smart board . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay . Uh wellUser Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: the sub-component , I suppose that you understand what a sub-component is , is f in this example it's the button . Uh when itis pressed down , um , the switch is ter is uh is switched on , so with uh the wire is sent to the to the chip in uh co-operation with the battery of course , becauseto make uh a a signal possible you have to have some sort of uh li uh a d ad uh electronic uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Infrared light.Industrial Designer: Yes , uh , okay . Um w after it's being composed by the chip uh the signal uh is transported uh to the infra-red bulb , and from there itsignals a Morse code-like signal to the to the b to the bulb in uh in the television set . Okay . S Uh I wrote down some personal preferences about uh the remotecontrol . Of course it is very handy if the remote control is hand held , so you don't have to uh uh wind it up or something , or just is it's it's very light to uh tomake uh to use it . Uh I personally uh pref prefer that uh it would be p uh come available in the various colours , and uh easy to use buttons . But I suppose thatthe one of the other team members uh uh thought of that uh too . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah , I've got it there too . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: And it is possible for several designs and um easy to use b uh sorry , easy to use buttons . Perhaps soft touch , uh touch screen uh buttons because uhthe rubber buttons are always uh uh they uh slightly uh they can be slightly damaged ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: uh so the numbers on thebuttons are not possible uh to read anymore . And uh well as I said uh before th uh we can uh make several designs . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Okay , well , that's my contribution to this meeting , and uhMarketing: To this meeting . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , thank you.User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: two of these this meeting . So .User Interface: Shall I go uh next ?Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: 'Kay.Project Manager: Please .User Interface: So .Marketing: {vocalsound} Smoking .User Interface: Well uh , my name's {gap} , and I looked at uh technicalfunctions design of the remote . Uh I did this by uh looking at examples of other remote controls , of how they uh they look , and information from the web that Ifound . Um well what I found was that uh th the actual use of the remote control is to send messages to television set , how you uh d what you described uh justearly . And this can be all sorts of medsa messages , turn it on , turn it off , uh change the channel , adjust volume , that kind of thing . Uh play video , teletext ,but also t uh play C_D_ if you use it your C_D_ player the remote control will that one . There are some uh examples of remote controls . You can see they arevery different . The one has got all the functions that you could possibly need and an lot of uh buttons etcetera . And the other is uh more user friendly , little withbig buttons . And uh not n all the the the the stuff you can do with it , but uh the the essential stuff is there . Um {vocalsound} I guess you could better y youshould look at a a user centred uh approach , because the customers have to use them and and if they don't think it's usable they won't uh buy it . A lot ofbuttons they may think from I don't need s as much as that . Uh , well perf personal preferences is is uh a simple remote , with uh the basic functions that youcan need that you could use . But uh keep in mind the new functions of T_V_ what we discussed earlier , split screen and uh is that a function that you shouldhave ? Because all the T_V_s will have them . Or because of only a few and isn't really necessary . And then uh make it {disfmarker} I would make so that youcan could uh use it on more than one appliance . If you have one that uh uh does with the vi the the video , it could also work with uh with the stereo , becauseplay is play and stop stop and that sort of thing . The shu c you could reuse the buttons so that you don't have to have a lot of buttons for uh anything . And itshould be a user friendly , clear buttons , and not too much . And that is my presentation .Project Manager: Okay , thank you .Industrial Designer: Okay .{vocalsound}Marketing: 'Kay . Check . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: You must still have it open .Marketing: Kijke {gap} 'Kay ,so . {vocalsound} We're going to j discuss the functional requirements of the remote , that m that means that functions user n want to have on the remotecontrol , or just {disfmarker} Yeah , and the users , actually .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: The methods I I prefer is we're going to look whichsection of the users we are going to focus a l on more . Are the younger people going to buy the remote control or the elderly people ? And then {disfmarker} thothat section we're going to focus and adjust the remote more to that section than the whole user section . Okay . Some data . Younger people , from sixteen tothir forty five um years are more interested in fj features like L_C_D_ screens , speech recognition e etcetera . And we possess about two third of the market fromin that range of age . The elderly people , from forty five years to sixty five years are not that much interested in features , and we possess less than two third ,that's two fifth , of the market share in that area . {gap} Goed so .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: 'Kay . Findings . Fiftypercent of the users lose their remote often .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So we don't have to make it verysmall , like uh like a mobile phone or something , but some somewhat bi bigger than small , so you don't lose it that much anymore . {vocalsound} Seventy fivepercent of the users also find it ugly ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: and fif seventy five of the users zap a lot , so the buttons sh should be that small , orshouldn't be that complex because we have to search for the buttons , which one are you going to use . Next . Important issues about the remote . I think itwould be better with a personal reference , but okay . Remote control has to have to have a low power usage , because s w seventy five percent of the users onlyzap one time an hour , so the power usage is also one one time an hour , or so , with a high power usage we would use a lot of but batteries . The volume buttonand the channel buttons are the two most important buttons on the remote control , so those {disfmarker} they {disfmarker} those have to h be find very easily. And have to be somewhat like bigger etcetera . It has also be {disfmarker} have to find easily when the label is gone . My colleague also announced it that
