[speaker002:] Oops.
[speaker001:] So, hello everyone. [vocalsound] We're here to have a kick-off meeting for the design of a [disfmarker] f for the beginning of new project um [vocalsound] uh remote control for the design for a new remote control [vocalsound]. I'm the Project Manager Christa Pavlov and [vocalsound] okay let's begin. [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] So I'm first going to do an opening then we get used to one anothers and we speak about this tool we're going to design and try to make a project plan, some discussion and then we talk of uh the next meeting. So um we want to to do a new remote control. It has to be original, trendy and user friendly.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Um I think the important points we have to t talk about are uh it's functional design, it's conceptual design, and desail detailed design. [gap] and for that we're going um all to work individually and then have meeting during the whole day. Um, so [vocalsound] let's try the whiteboard [vocalsound].
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] [vocalsound] Wow. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Um so any of you who want to go.
[speaker002:] Yeah, for favourite animals.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] It's gonna be not my favourite one but the one I can draw.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] And it's gonna be [disfmarker] you'll try to guess.
[speaker004:] Wow. [vocalsound] [vocalsound] Complex.
[speaker001:] Wow. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Huh? A cat.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] No. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] No. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] No. Darn. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Uh.
[speaker001:] A rabbit.
[speaker002:] Yes, that's a rabbit.
[speaker004:] A what?
[speaker002:] That's my favourite one.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] A rabbit.
[speaker004:] A r a rabbit, oh oh yeah,
[speaker003:] Rabbit.
[speaker004:] where is the carrot? [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] That's it.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Okay [vocalsound] mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] You want to go?
[speaker004:] I am not very good at uh [vocalsound] this kind of stuff.
[speaker002:] Hmm. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] My favourite animal is [disfmarker] [vocalsound] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] You wa
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Wow. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] A human
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Guess.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] ah.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] A human, yay. It's a very complex animal [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] No.
[speaker004:] and um [disfmarker] yeah. Characteristics of this this animal is [vocalsound] dangerous. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Mm I think you're supposed to, yeah.
[speaker003:] Is the white [disfmarker] okay.
[speaker001:] Hmm.
[speaker003:] I guess you can [disfmarker] [vocalsound] [gap]. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Wow. That's cobra.
[speaker004:] Ah, a kind of uh snake? Cobra? Exactly [vocalsound]. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Yeah uh not really. [vocalsound] Small cobra. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] No, it just [disfmarker] small cobra, yeah.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Uh-huh. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Is that a worm? Or [vocalsound] [disfmarker] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] It's co c quite recognisable. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] What about you uh [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Uh yeah Christa Pavlov [vocalsound] Mm.
[speaker004:] Christa? [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Chris. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Christa [vocalsound] Christa.
[speaker004:] A fish. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Mm.
[speaker002:] Hmm.
[speaker001:] Smiling fish [vocalsound].
[speaker003:] Smile fish. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] Okay.
[speaker004:] A smiling fish. [vocalsound] Mm-hmm.
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] So, w whiteboard is working? [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Good. [vocalsound] Next. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Next. Let's talk about money.
[speaker002:] Just tr try to guess who is a User Interface Designer.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Yeah, well. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] According to the drawings.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] Yeah, you're [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Not me. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] Okay.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] So.
[speaker004:] So. Twenty five Euro for a remote control.
[speaker001:] Yeah, mm that's the price we want to [disfmarker]
[speaker003:] Hmm.
[speaker001:] that's the aim for the price for the remote control.
[speaker004:] Okay.
[speaker001:] We aim to do [vocalsound] this profit.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] 'tis big number.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] On the international market.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Yeah. Mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] Yeah, we're to sell two million then.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Wow.
[speaker004:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker001:] Mm [vocalsound] for a production cost of mm twelve fifty Euros maximum. [vocalsound] 'Kay [vocalsound]. So any of you have experience in remote controls? [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Uh yes, we have plenty at home.
[speaker003:] Mm yeah.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] In fact, my daughter likes l [vocalsound] [gap] [vocalsound] remote controls.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] That [disfmarker]
[speaker002:] Mm. To eat? [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] To eat? Yeah, mainly, and to break. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] So that could be a great um [vocalsound] application. Remote controls children proof.
[speaker004:] Mm-hmm. Yeah.
[speaker001:] Mm mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Ye ye yeah.
[speaker002:] Children proof. Hmm.
[speaker004:] So she likes uh buttons [vocalsound] which make click,
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Okay.
[speaker003:] Yeah, pret
[speaker004:] so [vocalsound] it has to click.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] So they have to be waterproof maybe?
[speaker004:] It has to be uh wha [vocalsound] baby proof [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] 'Cause they eat [disfmarker] she ate it. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] yeah [vocalsound] but mainly it has to be very robust because even if she's not very tall she's uh [vocalsound] high enough so that uh when she throw it away it's uh [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] Ah.
[speaker004:] So it has to be very robust.
[speaker002:] Okay, unbreakable.
[speaker004:] Unbreakable, yeah.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker003:] Yeah, we have some child lock or something, yeah.
[speaker004:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] And uh [vocalsound] it has to be nice looking,
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] colourful, maybe [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Colourful, yeah mm.
[speaker002:] Colourful? That's not practical.
[speaker004:] colourful, because uh nobody has colourful remote control
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] No, that's a good idea.
[speaker003:] Yeah, it's always black or [disfmarker] yeah.
[speaker004:] they're always black, yeah,
[speaker001:] Mm mm-mm.
[speaker002:] No.
[speaker004:] but this one could be I dunno, purple or b
[speaker002:] But how gonna [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] okay, just uh but it's uh monochrome it's n it's not like [disfmarker]
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] No,
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] because you think, why not.
[speaker004:] One colour.
[speaker002:] Otherwise you will never find it.
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker003:] Yeah even we can change colours, no? Like the uh
[speaker004:] Oh like the phones,
[speaker003:] like the phones and these things we c yeah.
[speaker004:] yeah, it could change colours, yeah.
[speaker002:] Cool.
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] At least for children like one colour and [gap]. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Ch
[speaker004:] Yeah. [vocalsound] Good.
[speaker001:] Good idea.
[speaker003:] And it should be really [gap] small and [gap].
[speaker001:] Small also? Don't you think [disfmarker]
[speaker003:] Huh not so big like [disfmarker] yeah.
[speaker001:] No uh, not too much buttons or [disfmarker] mm.
[speaker003:] Yeah, not too much buttons and [disfmarker]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Should it be, y you know these uh remote controls where um they are what they call a universal ret remote control
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] so y you can decide that now it's the remote control for the television, then it's the remote control for the the sound system, or for your refrigerator
[speaker003:] Uh. Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] [vocalsound] Yeah,
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] whatever [vocalsound] I dunno if it's [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] that's [disfmarker] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Or if we should have a targeted re remote control.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] So colour, robustness, easy to use, size,
[speaker001:] So, I think there's [disfmarker]
[speaker004:] yeah, size matters, yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Yeah. Colour, [vocalsound] size, sh
[speaker001:] So you you think it's better if small than bigger.
[speaker003:] Yeah, maybe at least n not bigger than this I guess. [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Mm. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Yeah, but without any extremes like n not of this size, not too large. Okay.
[speaker001:] No, not too small, yeah.
[speaker003:] Yeah yeah,
[speaker004:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] at least it should hold in your hand n properly, like [gap].
[speaker001:] Hmm.
[speaker002:] Yeah, like a palm sized.
[speaker003:] Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Mm.
[speaker002:] Just to hold it.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker004:] But uh what would be different from this, from the others? I dunno if [vocalsound] [disfmarker]
[speaker003:] Uh maybe we can change the colours that [disfmarker] at least the frame.
[speaker004:] Yeah, at least the colour would be different.
[speaker003:] Mm. S so then it depends [disfmarker] you are to [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Mm.
[speaker003:] Mm I mean you c you can easily remove the frame [gap].
[speaker004:] I think one thing important for instance in this remote control if you remember when people use it they're [disfmarker] they never find a good button in the right place.
[speaker003:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] For some reason they they they click the off button when they want to use the [disfmarker]
[speaker003:] Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker004:] So there's a problem in the design of that kind of remote control somehow,
[speaker001:] Mm. So, some kind of idea uh with um um [vocalsound] cellular phone with a a screen that will tell you what [disfmarker]
[speaker004:] I dunno [gap].
[speaker002:] No, no screens, it's too complex.
[speaker001:] no. Okay.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Too expensive for twelve Euro?
[speaker003:] Mm. [vocalsound] Too expensive, yeah.
[speaker002:] And n maybe not too expensive,
[speaker001:] And too expensive.
[speaker002:] well it's not my problem, but well okay.
[speaker004:] Ah.
[speaker002:] But no screens on remote controls.
[speaker004:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker001:] Mm.
[speaker004:] I thought it could be only a screen [vocalsound] which would change depending on uh uh the use or even the user. So ma I prefer to have the off button at the top right,
[speaker002:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] Ye yeah.
[speaker004:] so I would have my own design of the remote control because it's in fact just a a full touch screen remote control,
[speaker003:] Hmm.
[speaker004:] if you [disfmarker] if you like.
[speaker003:] I mean it it's like
[speaker004:] I don't know if it makes sense, but [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Mm-mm.
[speaker003:] [disfmarker] it's like two types no? [vocalsound] people are right handed or left handed so y because I am left handed I use like this, say if you're right handed you use like this
[speaker004:] Yeah, for instance, mm.
[speaker002:] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] or [disfmarker] so tha your switch on and off should be on
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm. Mm mm mm.
[speaker004:] Mm.
[speaker001:] So adaptable [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [disfmarker] yeah.
[speaker001:] [disfmarker] yeah something [disfmarker]
[speaker002:] Adaptable. Alright, good,
[speaker004:] Maybe, if if it's possible, yeah.
[speaker003:] Mm [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] yeah.
[speaker002:] so how many actions do we need to implement in it?
[speaker003:] huh. Maybe I think even we can keep two switches and then we can uh only make one working.
[speaker002:] On off?
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Yeah.
[speaker003:] We can adapt only one switch, suppose here like we can make two switches and if I'm left-hander I use this switch to follow the main operations.
[speaker002:] I mean if it's less than three uh then we can make it uh like a
[speaker003:] Two.
[speaker004:] Three buttons you mean?
[speaker002:] [vocalsound] like three mental states,
[speaker001:] Three option.
[speaker004:] Ah. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] yeah you know what I mean,
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] we can just make it uh
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] controlled by a brain, huh? [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Mm-hmm, yeah, sure. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Maybe if it's more, if there is a software inside
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] that ask you three [disfmarker]
[speaker002:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] [vocalsound] [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] Hmm.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] If it [disfmarker] if we want a r universal remote control that we sa like we say before it may may need more than three mm three button, three mm possibilities, ye yeah.
[speaker002:] Sh sure, sure.
[speaker004:] Yeah, more than three actions that you may want to do at a given time.
[speaker003:] Mm yeah. Yeah. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] But for standard actions you usually what do you do, you change channels, you adjust volume, and nothing else.
[speaker004:] Yeah but for instance when you change channels you can have [disfmarker] you can just go to the next one or go to channel twenty five.
[speaker003:] Mm. Yeah.
[speaker001:] Mm. [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] And that's already more complex to go to channel twenty five. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] You do this?
[speaker003:] Yeah [vocalsound].
[speaker004:] Uh no.
[speaker003:] [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] I usually just change channels.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Because I'm only using three or four channels but [disfmarker] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] Yeah. But they keep generally their t slash slash uh this thing and then the dash dash and then you can put [disfmarker] yeah, you can only have one bit.
[speaker001:] Yeah. I change channel like this, m uh I want to go to twenty five, and then to ten, uh-huh mm yeah.
[speaker003:] Dash.
[speaker004:] And then back to the one I was before,
[speaker001:] Also we can be here [disfmarker]
[speaker004:] so there's [disfmarker] whichever it was.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker003:] Yeah you can [disfmarker] yeah.
[speaker001:] yeah, that would be cool.
[speaker002:] Go back button is good.
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] Yeah. Uh uh we had that in in other countries.
[speaker002:] I once had it.
[speaker003:] Yeah yeah, the previous button is [gap].
[speaker001:] Mm
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Yeah e even the history so you could like uh undo [vocalsound] previous of the previous. [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] yeah.
[speaker002:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker003:] Uh, okay. [vocalsound]
[speaker002:] History. [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Oh [vocalsound] uh [vocalsound].
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Then you can watch what your [disfmarker] ah you could also record your [disfmarker] record your [vocalsound] sequence of actions,
[speaker003:] Uh.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] Yeah. [vocalsound] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] that becomes more complex, but you could look at what uh the other people have used there or [disfmarker] [vocalsound] remote controls.
[speaker001:] [vocalsound]
[speaker003:] [vocalsound] Yeah yeah, what the [disfmarker] which channels the viewer [disfmarker] [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] Mm-mm.
[speaker004:] [vocalsound] Yeah [vocalsound]
[speaker001:] [vocalsound] Okay.
[speaker004:] maybe it's a [disfmarker]
[speaker001:] So I think we have full of idea.
[speaker004:] Okay.
[speaker001:] Um we're going to meet again in thirty minutes and uh I want you to mm [vocalsound] work on these ideas and try to make a uh [vocalsound] the ones, [vocalsound] make um [disfmarker] to decide what what are the ones important and what are the one that we don't want. [vocalsound] And um m maybe more in the technical parts what uh do we want to do. Um. [vocalsound] So um your personal coach will send you some instruction for for this thirty minutes.
[speaker004:] So what does ME means? ME the user requirements? Or that's uh that's for us?
[speaker002:] Market Expert.
[speaker003:] Marketing [disfmarker] yeah [vocalsound] [gap].
[speaker001:] Mm. [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] Uh that's me. [vocalsound] Oh, of course [vocalsound] yeah,
[speaker002:] [vocalsound]
[speaker004:] the user requirement specifications, uh-huh, yeah.
[speaker001:] Mm-hmm.
[speaker004:] Okay. [vocalsound] I'll think of that.
[speaker001:] Mm okay. So.
[speaker004:] So?
[speaker001:] I think that's all.
[speaker004:] Meeting's over? Great.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker003:] Thank you.
[speaker004:] Thank you.
[speaker002:] Thank you everybody.
[speaker001:] See you in thirty minutes.
