Exclusive communication tools for the elderly and their children
Let's talk about something else. It's almost two months since I came to the Asian Research Institute. The competition atmosphere here is indeed strong. So I hope I can learn a lot, but the soft engineer in the school is a recitation class, so I did not exercise well. I also felt very ashamed and afraid that my teammates would be ruined. However, I hope to make progress with my efforts and help!
I was very impressed when I called my dad and told me something. One time my parents went out to play together, entering from the Xixi wetland side, and going out from the other side, they couldn't find the bus back. At this time, my parents asked for help, and my brother-in-law helped me find the route so that my parents could return home. There are actually two points:
- When my parents are older, they do not know how to query the route on the Internet or use the map by themselves.
- When my parents encounter problems, they first think of their loved ones, that is, their children.
Therefore, starting from this problem, I thought it was a problem to be solved. Below are some of my points:
- Solve the route search problem, that is, the parents' mobile phone GPS positioning, learn about the location of their parents in a timely manner, to facilitate the query of the route.
- Extension: To solve other help problems, parents will always encounter many problems they do not understand in their lives. Dedicated social networking software allows parents to seek help from their children in a timely manner without the need to call the operator.
- Extended: Our elders are also concerned about children's life. Therefore, the dedicated social networking software not only supports basic communication and help, but also adds the photo sharing function.
The nabc method is used for analysis:
N (need): the requirements to be met are basically based on the above three points
- Parents' Mobile Phone Positioning can ensure their parents' safety. It can also help their parents search for routes (map function), which is the main function of the stupid software.
- Answers from parents' questions for help, and communicates with each other on a daily basis to ensure exclusive communication between the parent and the child
- Share photos at any time, learn about parents' news at any time, and learn about their children's news at any time
A (approach): the main methods used in the preliminary plan are as follows:
- The software uses point-to-point communication technology and chat methods such as existing software (such as Feixin ).
- Highlight the map and location functions, while reducing the complexity of other functions.
- Clients at the parent end and clients at the child end adopt different forms, so that different users can feel the ease of use. (To reduce the learning cost of parents, such as parents typing and speech)
B (Benefits): The software can solve some of the benefits
- This allows parents to solve problems that cannot be solved, which is also the reason for the elderly
- Allow parents to learn about their children's status in a timely manner and improve communication with their children to reduce their loneliness.
- Reduce parents' learning costs for smart phone software, facilitate operation, and communicate with their children
- Reduce the redundancy complexity of communication, only for the communication between parents and children, remove unnecessary exchanges of complex phobias
- Enhance family importance and make the relationship between parent and child more closely ......
C (competition): the competition between the existing IM software and the software on the market
- Today's social and instant messaging tools, such as Yixin, focus on chat and entertainment, and quickly share new things with you. The software focuses on specific functions and needs to consider geographical priority to a large extent.
- The software segments the target audience, establishes a connection between parents and children, and pays attention to the elderly, the most important group to be concerned with and caring for at present.
- To a certain extent, the software allows young people to feel the obligation of "filial piety", thus meeting the moral needs of the young generation. At the same time, it does allow their children to stay informed of their parents' safety conditions at any time.
Thoughts:
- Whether to add voice call and video call. Will the implementation increase the difficulty?
- Whether to add game applications required by parents, such as landlords
Conclusion:
The software was designed to meet parents' needs: Searching routes during travel; other daily needs; and communicating with children. For children: Keep abreast of their parents' location, communicate with their parents, and solve their parents' problems. Therefore, the theme features are clear, and the corresponding design will be a mobile app. The overall design will be improved later.
