00:19 Oops.
00:20 So, hello everyone. # We're here to have a kick-off meeting for the design of a - f- for the beginning of new project um # uh remote control for the design for a new remote control #. I'm the Project Manager Christa Pavlov and # okay let's begin.
00:43 %
00:44 %
00:45 # So
00:47 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.
01:13 So um we want to to do a new remote control. It has to be original, trendy and user friendly.
01:20 %
01:26 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.
01:40 @ and for that we're going um all to work individually and then have meeting during the whole day.
01:51 Um, so $ let's try the whiteboard $. # Um so any of you who want to go.
01:53 $
01:56 $ Wow. $
02:04 Yeah, for favourite animals. It's gonna be not my favourite one but the one I can draw. $ And it's gonna be - you'll try to guess.
02:06 $
02:11 $
02:11 $
02:17 Wow. $
02:25 # Complex.
02:26 Wow. $
02:28 $
02:30 Huh?
02:33 A cat.
02:34 $
02:34 No. #
02:35 No. $

02:49 $ That's it.
02:49 $
02:52 $
02:53 You want to go?
02:54 I am not very good at uh $ this kind of stuff. My favourite animal is - $
02:55 Hmm. $
02:56 $
03:04 $
03:05 $ You wa-
03:05 $
03:05 Wow. $
03:08 A human $ ah.
03:08 $
03:09 Guess. $ A human, yay. It's a very complex animal $ and um - yeah. Characteristics of this this animal is $ dangerous. $
03:15 $
03:15 $
03:16 No.
03:24 $
03:24 $
03:28 Mm I think you're supposed to, yeah.
03:28 Is the white - okay.
03:45 Hmm.
03:45 I guess you can - $ @. $
03:46 $
03:48 Wow. That's cobra.
03:50 Ah, a kind of uh snake? Cobra? Exactly [whistling sound]. $
03:54 Yeah uh not really. $ Small cobra. $
03:56 No, it just - small cobra, yeah.
03:57 $
03:58 Uh-huh. $
03:58 $ Is that a worm? Or # - $
03:59 It's co- c- quite recognisable. $
04:00 $
04:02 $
04:02 $
04:05 What about you uh $ Christa? $
04:06 # Uh yeah Christa Pavlov $ Mm.
04:07 $
04:09 Chris. %
04:09 Christa # Christa.
04:19 A fish. $
04:21 Mm.
04:21 Hmm.
04:22 Smiling fish $.
04:22 Smile fish. $
04:23 $ Okay.
04:23 A smiling fish. $ Mm-hmm. So, w- whiteboard is working? $ Good. $ Next. $
04:27 Mm-hmm.
04:30 Yeah. $ Next. Let's talk about money.
04:30 Yeah. $
04:30 $
04:34 Just tr- try to guess who is a User Interface Designer. $ According to the drawings. $ Okay.
04:37 $ Yeah, well. $
04:38 $
04:38 $
04:40 $ Yeah, you're -
04:41 $
04:42 Not me. $
04:47 # So.
04:47 So. Twenty five Euro for a remote control.
04:51 Yeah, mm that's the price we want to - that's the aim for the price for the remote control. We aim to do # this profit.
04:53 Hmm.
04:55 Okay.
05:04 $
05:04 $ 'tis* big number.
05:04 $
05:05 $ On the international market.
05:07 $ Yeah. Mm-hmm.
05:09 Yeah, we're to sell two million then.
05:11 $
05:11 Wow.
05:12 Mm-hmm.
05:13 Mm # for a production cost of mm twelve fifty Euros maximum.
05:22 # 'Kay #.
05:27 So any of you have experience in remote controls? $
05:31 Uh yes, we have plenty at home. $ In fact, my daughter likes l- $ @ $ remote controls. To eat? Yeah, mainly, and to break. $
05:32 Mm yeah.
05:34 $
05:34 $
05:37 $
05:38 # That -
05:38 Mm. To eat? $
05:40 $
05:41 $
05:44 $
05:44 $ So that could be a great um # application. Remote controls children proof. Mm mm-hmm.
05:50 Mm-hmm. Yeah. # Ye- ye- yeah.
05:51 Children proof.
05:53 Hmm.
05:54 So she likes uh buttons $ which make click, so $ it has to click.
05:56 Yeah, pret-
05:56 # Okay.
05:59 $
06:01 So they have to be waterproof maybe? $ 'Cause they eat - she ate it. $
06:04 It has to be uh wha- $ baby proof $ yeah $ but mainly it has to be very robust* because even if she's not very tall she's uh $ high enough so that uh when she throw it away it's uh -
06:07 $
06:12 Mm-hmm.
06:12 Yeah.
06:15 $
06:20 # Ah.
06:21 So it has to be very robust*.
06:22 Okay, unbreakable.
06:24 Unbreakable, yeah.
06:24 Yeah, we have some child lock or something, yeah.
06:24 Uh-huh.
06:28 Mm-hmm.
06:29 Mm-hmm.
06:30 And uh
06:32 # it has to be nice looking,
06:36 Yeah.
06:36 colourful, maybe -
06:37 Colourful, yeah mm.
06:38 Colourful? That's not practical.
06:39 colourful, because uh nobody has colourful remote control, they're always black, yeah, but this one could be I dunno, purple or b-
06:40 Yeah.
06:41 No, that's a good idea.
06:42 Yeah, it's always black or - yeah.
06:43 Mm mm-mm.
06:44 No.
06:48 But how gonna - okay, just uh but it's uh monochrome* it's n- it's not like -
06:48 Yeah. $
06:51 Yeah.
06:52 Yeah, yeah.
06:53 No, because you think, why not.
06:53 Yeah.
06:55 One colour.
06:55 Otherwise you will never find it.
06:56 Yeah.
06:57 Yeah, yeah.
06:58 Yeah even we can change colours, no? Like the uh like the phones and these things we c- yeah. At least for children like one colour and @. $
07:00 Oh like the phones, yeah, it could change colours, yeah.
07:02 Cool.
07:03 Mm-hmm.
07:04 Ch-
07:06 Yeah. $
07:08 Good.
07:08 Good idea.
07:10 And it should be really @ small and @.
07:13 Small also? Don't you think -
07:14 Huh not so big like - yeah.
07:17 No uh, not too much buttons or - mm.
07:19 Yeah, not too much buttons and -
07:21 # Should it be, y- you know these uh remote controls where um they are what they call a universal ret- remote control 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* $ whatever # I dunno if it's -
07:28 Mm-hmm.
07:34 Uh.
07:35 Yeah.
07:37 $
07:37 $ # Yeah, that's -
07:42 %
07:42 Or if we should have a targeted re- remote control.
07:46 Okay.
07:47 % So colour, robustness*, easy to use, size, yeah, size matters, yeah. $
07:48 So, I think there's -
07:54 Yeah. Colour, $ size, sh-
07:55 So you you think it's better if small
07:59 than bigger.
08:00 Yeah, maybe at least n- not bigger than this I guess. $
08:00 Mm.
08:03 $
08:03 Yeah, but without any extremes like n- not of this size, not too large. Okay.
08:06 No, not too small, yeah.
08:07 Yeah yeah, at least it should hold in your hand n- properly, like @.
08:08 Yeah.
08:11 Hmm.
08:12 Yeah, like a palm sized.
08:13 Yeah. %
08:13 Mm.
08:14 Just to hold it.
08:15 Okay.
08:18 But uh what would be different from this, from the others? I dunno if $ -
08:24 Uh maybe we can change the colours that - at least the frame. Mm. S- so then it depends - you are to -
08:29 Yeah, at least the colour would be different.
08:33 Mm.
08:33 Mm I mean you c- you can easily remove the frame @.
08:36 I think one thing important for instance in this remote control if you remember when people use it they're - they never find a good button in the right place.
08:42 Yeah, yeah.
08:43 Mm-hmm.
08:43 For some reason they they they click the off button when they want to use the -
08:44 Yeah.
08:47 Yeah.
08:48 So there's a problem in the design of that kind of remote control somehow, I dunno @.
08:51 Mm. So, some kind of idea uh with um um # cellular phone with a a screen that will tell you what - no.
09:02 No, no screens, it's too complex.
09:04 Okay.
09:04 $ Too expensive for twelve Euro?
09:05 Mm. $ Too expensive*, yeah.
09:06 And n- maybe not too expensive, well it's not my problem, but well okay. But no screens on remote controls.
09:07 And too expensive.
09:11 Ah.
09:14 Mm-hmm. I thought it could be only a screen $ which would change depending on uh uh the use or even the user.
09:14 Mm.
09:23 So ma- I prefer to have the off button at the top right, so I would have my own design of the remote control because it's in fact just a a full touch screen remote control, if you - if you like.
09:23 Mm-hmm.
09:27 Ye- yeah.
09:32 Hmm.
09:36 I mean it it's like - it's like two types no? # 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 or - so tha- your switch on and off should be on - yeah.
09:36 I don't know if it makes sense, but -
09:38 Mm-mm.
09:42 Yeah, for instance, mm.
09:45 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
09:46 Mm-hmm. Mm mm mm.
09:46 Mm.
09:50 So adaptable # - yeah something - yeah.
09:52 Adaptable. Alright, good, so how many actions do we need to implement in it?
09:52 Maybe, if if it's possible, yeah.
09:53 Mm # huh.
09:58 On off?
09:58 Maybe I think even we can keep two switches and then we can uh only make one working.
09:59 $
10:00 Yeah.
10:03 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.
10:12 I mean if it's less than three uh then we can make it uh like a
10:17 Two.
10:17 Three buttons you mean?
10:18 # like three mental states, yeah you know what I mean, we can just make it uh
10:19 Three option.
10:21 Ah. $
10:22 $
10:22 $
10:23 $ Yeah.
10:24 Yeah.
10:25 Um.
10:25 controlled by a brain, huh? $
10:27 Mm-hmm. $ Maybe if it's more, if there is a software inside that ask you three -
10:27 $
10:27 $
10:28 Mm-hmm, yeah, sure. $
10:32 $
10:39 Mm-hmm.
10:41 # $ -
10:41 Hmm. $ If it - if we want a r- universal remote control that we sa- like we say before it may
10:41 $
10:50 may need more than three mm three button, three mm possibilities, ye- yeah.
10:54 Sh- sure, sure.
10:54 Yeah, more than three actions that you may want to do at a given time.
10:55 Mm yeah.
10:57 Yeah. $
10:59 But for standard actions you usually what do you do, you change channels, you adjust volume, and nothing else.
11:07 Yeah but for instance when you change channels you can have - you can just go to the next one or go to channel twenty five.
11:13 Mm.
11:15 Yeah.
11:15 Mm. #
11:16 And that's already more complex to go to channel twenty five. $
11:19 Mm-hmm. You do this?
11:20 #
11:21 Yeah #.
11:22 Uh no. $ Because I'm only using three or four channels but - $
11:23 #
11:23 I usually just change channels.
11:27 $ Yeah. But they keep generally their t- slash slash uh this thing and then the dash dash and then you can put - yeah, you can only have one bit.
11:36 Yeah. I change channel like this, m- uh I want to go to twenty five, and then to ten, uh-huh mm yeah.
11:39 Dash.
11:42 And then back to the one I was before, so there's - whichever it was.
11:45 Also we can be here - yeah, that would be cool.
11:45 Uh-huh. Go back button is good. I once had it.
11:46 Yeah you can - yeah.
11:47 Yeah.
11:48 Yeah. Uh uh we had that in in other countries. $ Yeah e- even the history so you could like uh undo $ previous of the previous. $
11:49 Yeah yeah, the previous button is @.
11:51 Mm $ yeah.
11:52 Mm-hmm.
11:54 Uh, okay. $
11:55 History. $
11:56 Oh $ uh $.
11:57 $
11:59 Then you can watch what your - ah you could also record your - record your $ sequence of actions, $ that becomes more complex, but you could look at what uh the other people have used there or - $ remote controls. $ Yeah $ maybe it's a -
12:01 Uh.
12:02 %
12:03 Yeah.
12:05 $
12:07 $
12:09 $
12:09 $
12:12 Yeah yeah, what the - which channels the viewer - $
12:14 Mm-mm.
12:18 # Okay. So I think we have full of idea.
12:20 Okay.
12:22 Um we're going to meet again in thirty minutes and uh I want you to mm #
12:33 work on these ideas and try to make a
12:37 uh # the ones, # make um - to decide what what are the ones important and what are the one that we don't want.
12:47 # And um m- maybe more in the technical parts what uh do we want to do.
12:55 Um.
12:58 # So um your personal coach will send you some instruction for for this thirty minutes.
13:05 So what does M_E_ means? M_E_ the user requirements? Or that's uh that's for us?
13:10 Market Expert.
13:11 Marketing - yeah $ @.
13:11 Uh that's me. $ Oh, of course $ yeah, the user requirement specifications, uh-huh, yeah.
13:11 Mm. $
13:13 $
13:19 Mm-hmm.
13:21 Okay. # I'll think of that.
13:22 Mm okay.
13:30 So.
13:31 So?
13:32 I think that's all.
13:33 Meeting's over? Great.
13:34 Yeah.
13:34 Okay.
13:37 Thank you.
13:38 Thank you.
13:38 Thank you everybody.
13:38 See you in thirty minutes.
