Most alarm clocks have a snooze button (although I think snooze is a rubbish concept that I've never used, I understand that people like to have a snooze option). Do alarm clocks really have a dedicated "alarm off" button? bluegaspode;502884 Wrote: > I disagree. > Easy to access (i.e. being able to find blind when you are in a sleepy > state) is just the big button. > With a bit of goodwill maybe even the power button in the lower right. > But thats it. > The power button is easy to find too, so that would be good enough to stop the music. The dedicated volume knob is also easy to find and distinctive feel, so a volume knob click could be used for snooze. bluegaspode;502884 Wrote: > Finding the Back-Key or Pause key demands being conscious and having > light - not the environment present when the alarm goes off in the > morning. > Sure - with some training one could even learn to find them - but hey - > if to operate the alarm one needs training - then something wasn't done > right ! > That's a good thing - might make the user get up instead of over sleeping ;-) To me, an alarm is set such that you wake up at that time. bluegaspode;502884 Wrote: > > user wants to see current playing song (currently 'now playing screen') > after alarm goes off > > assumption: this will be done in a light environment (as the display > couldn't be read in the dark anyway). > Bad assumption - why can't display be read in the dark? bluegaspode;502884 Wrote: > - user can do it by waiting 60 seconds (until the alarm popup > vanishes) > That was a really bad idea; I think has already been reversed (popup doesn't vanish now)? bluegaspode;502884 Wrote: > > D) USER WANTS TO SEE THE TIME AFTER ALARM GOES OFF > - can do it because of alarm popup > The time is too small, because a lot of the small screen space is used to display the popup menu. Your use cases are all about what actions are needed after an alarm has fired. There's a missing use case here - when no actions are wanted: - An alarm that enables music to start at a specific time, without entering some "alarm mode". i.e. Just play music, don't offer any snooze/alarm off options. This would also cover your points (c) and (d) too, as the Now Playing screensaver would show the current song and current time. -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
