Brainstorming Summary



We brainstormed on the theme 'Mobile Life' in the lecture. During the brainstorming it is not considered who users are, how to develop and what the device can does. We collected about 50 ideas in 5 minutes. The result of our brainstorming is structured according to properties and applications.

 

PROPERTIES

 

DEVICES/ APPLICATIONS

security   mobile phone
resistant   PDA
personalization MOBILE LIFE digital camera

multi-lingual clothes
moods dependent media player
portable   navigation system
temperature adjustment   moods displayer
power generation   ID-card
communication   e-money

    multi-functional auto

During the brainstorming we got many ideas, which could not be realized yet. (e.g.change the truck to sports car, the clothes which be fitted to the owner automatically, portable water dispenser, lightening with power generation, etc.)  But we can find some points to start the project. Here are some start points to define the project.

  1. The application should have the property of portable and be compact, that means the user can always carry it without problem.
  2. The application should recognize the user. (e.g. mood, sickness, location, etc.)
  3. The application should support multi-language and to search the needed information.
  4. The application should provide the possibility to get the contact with each other.
Considering these points we will proceed our project.
