Dimple’s Final Proposal – Parking Made Easy

Marvin_Parking Lot Spaces Proposal

User: People who have multiple accounts and passwords

Context: When people have different accounts and have to sign in separately to all of them and end up forgetting what password is for each account.

Motivation: Constantly forgetting log in passwords and having to change them every time you do making it a time wasting redundant process

Solution: The users download an app that manages their accounts and passwords. The user can make one password for all accounts or have separate passwords for their accounts but the app would still be able to recall all the passwords and accounts. The app wouldn’t force people to link their accounts, spam their emails or post anything on social networks and the passwords would be stored on their phone memory to minimize the chances of being cyber attacked.

Outcome: Less frustration from having to remember multiple passwords and reduction in the redundancy of inputting passwords over and over again since you can log in to all your accounts from one account.

Second Proposal

User:

The users would be couples, involved in a multilingual relationship, where one of the parties isn’t a native/fluent speaker of at least one language.  Couples who are dating, newlywed, long term, or simply intimate.

Context:

Love knows no barriers, even the spoken ones.  Today it is not uncommon for one to be involved in a serious relationship where one of the individuals speaks a different native primary native language.  And while there are many language applications out there, none cater specifically faced in a relationship i.e. meeting new family, raising children, or simply endearing terms to call your mate; as opposed to buying a plane ticket or “finding the local library”.

Motivation:

Often times this language barrier can lead to difficulties in the relationship.  Effective communication helps smooth out any situation.  If children are involved, they sometimes miss out on effectively forming that language bond with both parents, or may not learn the language at all. And in today’s world it’s often seen that being bilingual, at the minimum gives one a resume advantage in today’s workforce.

Solution:

Users download a language application, catered specifically to the most common phrases and terms one uses in an intimate relationship.  The database for the app will be compiled using information, gathered from couples, on the situations most commonly faced in the first five years of a relationship.  The average couple marries after 25 months, and the first five years of marriage is thought by some, to be crucial.  The application would utilize techniques similar to those found in popular marketplace options such as Rosetta Stone or Duolingo, but with content tailored to couples.  It could also be a practical option for couples who have been together for years, but never successfully bridged this particular communication gap.

Outcome:

The outcome here would be couples who are happier because they can begin to communicate more fully and comfortably with their significant others. They no longer have to use multiple applications or hunt for the phrases unique to interacting with a mate. This will help reduce those instances of things being lost in translation, and the frustration that results.  The users would be able to comfortably increase their lexicon in a more nuanced way.

User: City Tech students and Faculty.

Context: The school cafeteria and website does not display any nutritional information about the food they serve. The cafeteria and website needs to offer the nutritional information of the food,  so that students and staff could make healthy choices.

Motivation: The students and staff are making misinformed decisions because of the lack of information offered. Obesity is an epidemic in the United States that causes life threatening health problems to help combat obesity people need to make informed decision about the food that they eat.

Solution:  To tackle this problem I propose that we create a menu on the school website that offers all the nutritional content in the food being served in the cafeteria every day. Also I propose that we place a flat screen monitor in the cafeteria that displays the menu, and nutritional content of the food served (Ex. Calories, Vitamins, Cholesterol).

Outcome: By providing the nutritional facts about the food being served in the City tech cafeteria students and faculty will be empowered to make healthier choices. These changes could help the school combat obesity.
