Scenarios-Edit

Hey Guys!! Please post up your scenarios. =)

Hey again everyone, I will be posting a finalized draft of all the Scenarios by tomorrow afternoon (before 5pm), which will also include my scenario. This finalized draft will just be an edited compilation of each group member's scenario. -- Arjun

Hey everyone, I will be posting my scenarios by Saturday. Has anyone else come up with anything yet? --Arjun.

Hi, I will also be posting my scenario by Saturday. I might talk about how people in developing countries charge their cellphones. --- Monica

I think the scenarios should be the problems while we are using cell phones, probably the stories of ourselves. But its not a problem if talk the public I guess. Bai How many words you guys think we should write? And also we should write out the requirement in point form which should what the redesign aim to solve. We can take the form below and post each ones scenarios and requirements separately.

HI, I will post my scenario and requirements by the end of today. Monica

Hi guys I will do the physical construction and operation likeable. function facilitation. Bai

Hi guys I posted my works (second one) feel free to give me any advice. Bai

Hi, my scenario is the first one and you can tell me if anything is wrong. --- Monica

Hi, My scenario will be about a secondary power source for emergency times. -- Nader

> People in developing countries use their mobile phones for multiple purposes. The mobile phones have to be in good condition for the people in the developing countries in order for them to carry out their own tasks which require them to use their mobile phones. They go to charging places when they need to charge their mobile phones because they do not have any other options for charging their cellphones. Another reason why they go to charging places to charge their mobile phones is because of the lack of electricity that they have. Some charging places might be far away from their homes. The people who use the charging stations to charge their mobile phones need to pay People in developing countries do not have a lot of money to spend on the things they need. This option that these people have for charging their mobile phones is ineffective and inefficient. > Most of the popular cell phones today are designed based on the focus on physical appearance and advanced functions in order to attract more customers. Like iphone and blackberry, the two most popular and successful smart phones today, which are the outcomes of elaborately physical design and high technologies function application combined together. However that's also the reason why they are so expensive and unaffordable in developing countries. The outstanding outside design requires high cost materials like LCD screen which are also high cost. And of course the high technologies components also increase the cost. All of these factors make the cell phones become more and more expensive and unaffordable for the people in bad economic status. Also most of today's cell phones have equipped with many advantageous and intellective functions. They are not just cell phones today, they are also MP3 players and internet device. While these functions provide convenience, they also increase the difficulties of operation. The high technologies cell phones today require long time study and practice in order to familiar with them. Especially for the adults under older age who do not use the current high technologies quite often. Some of them don't even know how to send text message by cell phones. Also this would be more serious in the underdeveloped areas which have low rate of education and high tech use.
 * Scenarios **
 * 1) __**Scenario: About the way people in developing countries charge their mobile phones**__
 * 1) __**Simplify physical construction & Function facilitation**__
 * 1) Whether it is working to make a living or relocating to another environment, people in developing countries are constantly on the go. They are sometimes forced to do so in harsh weather environments with little or no transportation, which means they carry only what is necessary. The present cell phone can be easily dropped, forgotten or left behind when put under such conditions because of its lack of proper storage. This is a problem for a local trader who uses a cell phone to aid her business by finding out and comparing market prices. Put under such conditions with the present cell phone, the local trader will suffer the loss of her cell phone being dropped or forgotten due to the rush of trying to prevent her goods from being ruined/transported, or she can decide to abandon her cell phone, seeing it as a burden/dead weight to have to carry and store.
 * 2) __**Giving the cellphone the 'power' it needs to locate it when it does not have one.**__ The cellphones that we use today, all depend on one power source which is the main battery. This battery takes all of the usage abuse that a user demands. It is fair to say that at some point, most people have run out of battery on some of the most unfortunate times. Some users even consider their cellphones lost when a call can not be made to trace it, simply because the battery has completely depleted. A quick and easy solution to this issue is to provide a phone with a secondary none-removable internal battery. If necessary, this battery is recharged at the same time the main battery is charging and is only used when the main battery is completely depleted. due to its small size (similar to a wrist watch battery) It can only be used to send an (Radio Frequency) signal to a receiver to relocate the phone. Since most users carry their cellphones close to them, this modification will be extremely useful when trying to rescue natural disaster victims anywhere in the world even after their cellphones run out of the primary battery. An RF transmitter is a very low cost feature that places such as libraries and most stores use on their products to prevent theft. The combination of a secondary battery with a power operated RF transmitter can work together to effectively relocate cellphones.

__**Must have**__

 * 1) A solar panel attached to it.
 * 2) Low cost materials in order to decrease the price.
 * 3) A way to be easily stored and carried.
 * 4) RF transmitter and a small non-removable secondary battery

__**Should have**__ Durable water proof floatable casing (incase of floods)
 * 1) Another option for charging.
 * 2) simply likeable and personal operation system.

4. an RF signal receiver for locating the phone

__**Could have**__
 * 1) A solar keypad.
 * 2) More intelligent operation panels.
 * 3) Engraved Identification code/name/number.
 * 4) an output signal with the user's identification.
