Bank account bar code or qr code

Make it easy and simple to transfer money

its been a while....
but from today, i would like to update my idea again continuously.


today's topic is about ATM machine.
then, transferring money bother me somehow, so i would like to have an idea about simple way of transferring money...

Problem from Observation

i found it bothersome when we transfer money into another bank account, in terms of steps...
at first, i will get bank account information via e-mail or something from computer or mobile (sometimes via paper though), and then, for example if we get it in computer, we will write it down in paper or mobile, so that we can bring it to the ATM machine. (sometimes if the document is too big, we write paper -> paper)

then, we again, input the bank code and something so on...

It means, at least once, sometimes twice we need to write down the target bank account code into several interfaces.

Make it Simple with the solution

the idea that i want to bring here is, an application of mobile phone, or smartphone, sometimes for computers.
that is, when we fill the account information, we can create a bar code or QR code of our bank account.

we can either create other person's code, or some might send it to you.





then, we just need to bring the code, and with the bar code reader that is attached to the ATM, we can read the account information.
then we don't need to input bank account more than twice.

then we can easily transfer money to any of the banks in the world...

Songs managing system using tags, for SongA ft. B

iPhone5 was not coming this time,,,, now the latest is iPhone4S, hmmm...
but the only portable mac thing i have is... older version of iPod nano... (though i use mac book...)
When i use iPod, i sometimes feel bothersome to choose songs like "SONGNAME ft. FEATURING"

cos i want to listen to the song that is sung by A, but that song's artist name is "A feat. B" or something like that....

then, if we could have a tag system for mp3 players, then the song can belongs to both A and B....

then the management would be easier....
i dont know weather i could make u understand or not....

fig. changing properties that a song has

fig. songs that artists have

this time, artist name are something like tag, though all properties could be something like tags...

Search engine regarding os type, or application type



when we start using a new application, or installing an unfamiliar application, we always google how to do that...

but you may have also noticed that... many of the cases it is really hard to find appropriate information.

'Cause situations are changing enormously in a minute....

for example, installing Eclipse (develop environment for java, or android)... many versions are released and it is really hard to find "appropriate" information for us...

then, it would be nice if we have something which offers the result only mentioned about "your" environment...

something like following picture





hmmm bad interface, though it would help us if we can have indexes of explanation

Sharing mobile screen


sometimes, when using skype, i really appreciate the function of "sharing the screen"

which is, showing what one is seeing on one's display to the other's display.




as i said in previous post, i actually observed people in macdonald for 5h the day before.
then i found that, people (might be only japanese..) never stop using their mobile....
sometimes they are talking not facing each other, but seeing their own mobile...
sometimes they are showing how great the picture on one's mobile is..( mainly how cool the guy is :p)

then, it might be interesting to have a function in which we can share one's screen to everybody through their mobile.
that is especially useful when one wants to show his picture to his friends. it is always bothersome to pass the phone each time... but if we could share the screen, ( i don't know maybe with bluetooth or something other? bluetooth might not have that protocol to share the image at the sametime... so might be 3g or wifi? hmm....not that sexy...) then, we can talk about the same thing and no need to pass your own mibile!


of course to share something, there must be an idea of projection... but i know some of the company is now developing small projector, so i just avoid to say projector on purpose...

Shower head with Shampoo dispenser

Just wondered... we never need to use shower and shampoo at the same time.
otherwise we will waste one of them...



figure shower and shampoo


imagine, we always use shower, and few people who care about the planet or utility fee turn off the shower and take some shampoo, and use it, and then again using shower. at that time, our hands are moving to various of things, shower -> shower switch-> shampoo -> head -> shower switch -> shower -> then body soap -> towel or something to wash our body -> ....

then, today's idea is using shower head as shampoo, or body soap dispenser.
it means any two of them would not come together, then we never waste shampoo or water. besides it is good for lazy persons (in terms of not moving their hands a lot :p)




figure idea


like the figure, all shampoo and water pipe are connected to the shower. and with buttons, we can choose which to use.

hmm... that's true that we use water just warm up the shower room, and when winter, we sometimes left hot water running when we are using shampoo...

so it might not be a good design, but can be like that.

new way of showing the searching result

now many people are saying that
search engine of the next generation is utilizing the power of social!!

of course, i agree with it... but is it the only focus??? i will be doubtful...

i mean, if we search for something, the result shown up is always like this

i know there are some add-on for firefox that shows the thumbnail of the website next to the text, but... the way of showing is always like that.
of course there are image search, and so on, but normal result from for example yahoo, msn, and any other searching engine is showing in almost the same way


but do you think it is the best way to show the result??

of course, i know it is much important to find the way to show the result in the order user wants than how to show the result, but i think if we could have really efficient way to show, user will be careless about the result order...


now, the only thing that we can find from searching result is title and short text
but sometimes, at least for me, even though it contains really good information for me, some website is not attractive, or feel not to read...

but it might be interesting if there are some new ways of showing result, what i found today is TED's website is something interesting



the website visited often could be shown larger, or the website people stay longer could be shown larger, or... there must be a lot of ways to show, but for me,
the way TED took was a little bit interesting... showing some videos smaller, showing some bigger.

and searching is always active action (?? the thing you have to choose what to do next) whereas analog life is more passive.
only make something big/small makes the way a little bit passive i feel. so... i wanna have that function in new searching result!
and not by clicking them, but just putting our cursors on gives us some additional information. that might be also good for us :)

also, amazon's recommendation makes something passive for us, and it might be interesting if the searching result also says or shows some related websites or recommendation :)

or... have you ever open the links in different tabs???
it might be interesting if we have some button next to the result as kind of "candidates" and we can see those website later without changing the tabs
just like facebok's image :p just press -> changes to the next website



there must be a lot of ways to show!

Language property in google +

just like this previous post, it would be nicer if the circle in google+ has "language property"

and every post will be automatically filtered or determined which circle the post can belong to...

i have a lot of international friends, and it is often determined by group which language i should use. when i use japanese, i dont want to disturb my friends wall for example in facebook, twitter, and so on.

and google+ has possibility to make it easier, because it is often the groups(i mean circles in google+ word/world) which sets my language to speak.

wearable video recorder

today's idea is about video recorder.
what i thought of the problem is, real time recording in specific situation; sports, concert, and so on.
then, what is the problem there??

imagine you were using video recorder, in order to record your child's soccer game. and you are thinking of having really good film for the future.
then, you won't be able to leave your focus from the video recorder's display. it means, you can not watch your child's game directly, only through your display.

same thing happen when you were in concert, and the main person is moving around, and he/she came just in front of you.
then, there is only one option you can take, whether taking picture instead of touching him/her, or touching him/her instead of picturing.
there's no choice to take both of the options.

then, i thought there should be solutions for that, and today's idea is for that.
actually similar post was here (hints from Video glasses, and portable printers) as well, but this time, it is a bit different.
the design is something like that




maybe it needs a lot of prototypes.... i mean it is not the final product, but im thinking basically like this.
of course, one opinion i will get from prototypes must be "feedback"; whether filming or not, where the video is aiming at, and so on.
the solution might be something like this, (from dragonball lol)


or can be a separate display like mobile phone....

but still, we need to develop, but i think it could satisfy user's need very much....

Twitter Path

sometimes, like when japanese earthquake happened, twitter takes great role.

to inform many people...

but at the same time, it means "wrong information" or "old information" will be spread spontaneously.

in order to deal with those, it might be interesting if we could see the "path" of one tweet. not only "official retweet" but also "un-official retweet" (which uses RT: @--- xxx)

that's interesting just seeing, and also we can confirm where the resource is.
and if somebody find the information was wrong, we can inform people using exactly the same path.

problem behind is, when twitter or tv program broadcast wrong information, and even though they apologize after, we can not say, the apologize will achieve to the same people.

so... at least on twitter, it might be good to have those path thing as a function

Alerting by window

It might be a design idea for only guys...

when i'm driving, i'm often distracted by girls outside....
Luckily, it never coursed some problems, but it may happen..

Then, it might be nice if the color of the side windows became red or some color when the car sensor or something find some danger....
it might be similar to another post Alert Display in a Car in terms of the fact that is having alerting system where people tend to be distracted from.

Click and get information from google street view

Maybe... now google is trying to do, or they are planning to do, but it would be nicer if we can click and get some information from google street view.


Yesterday, i and my friends went around Las vegas, and we found several nice bars (i mean seems nice for students in terms of price)

and today, we are planing to go to one or two of them.
then, what we did is seeing google street view, and look for the bars, and find the names on them, and google them...

then, we might be able to reduce 2 of the process....
Right after finding the bars in google street view, and if we click there, google shows directly the information about it... then, it becomes much easier for us to find the information

Foldable High heel

Now im in Las vegas :) yeah!


And i saw many girls wearing sandals and having high heel in their hand...

Maybe when they are trying to attract guys, they are on high heels, and when they move, they switched to sandals... (or, most of the girls wear nothing on their foot as well)

Then, I thought it might be nicer if there are foldable high heel or something.


The heel part can be folded, and easily they can make a flat shoes...

hard to explain though...

Airport luggage security delay

I just arrived at US today... this time i took 2 flight.... horrible...
because of the delay, i missed 1 transit flight, and the next flight has some fuel problem, and go to another airport to get fuel...
Besides, i couldn't pass through the security gate straightly...
I went to specials room, and wait for 1 hour, and....

but anyway, i arrived!


Today's idea is also about the airport.
small thing about hand luggage security...

the current system is,
1. put off the watches, belts, wallet, mobile, shoes and some other belongings into small box
2. put our hand luggage on
3. put out our computer

or something like that. At that time, especially wearing off the shoes and belts, takes too much time.

then, what i thought is... what if the ground moves corresponding with the place where we put our hand luggage? (a little hard to explain with my vocabulary..  see the picture below)
then, we don't need to walk and we don't need to stop while wearing off the belts and shoes.
I think it would bring us much smoother security passing


Upper is current system, and bottom is my suggestion

Car lane change supporting| own traffic signal

I don't drive so much...
what i feel the fear most is... parking, and changing lane.
I need to check a lot of times to find i can change the lane...

then, today's idea is having some support system for those.

I found that many cars has some blinker systems on their side mirror...


and additionally I am sure that there are some cheep technology that the car is near from the car or not...

then, today's idea is really simple, having own traffic signal on each side mirror.
For example, when we change the lane to right side, he has to be carefully see the prople passed through. then, what if something can tell me that "now it is ok to change the lane"?? ... of cause it would be ok with really trust-alble automated car, so that we don't need to afraid... but the solution is not that sexy... technologically, ok, but design aspect is not that good for me :p

followings are my proposal about showing information

red light means it is dangerous to turn

green light means it is ok to turn

 hmmm.... hope everybody could understand...
the looks-like-traffic signal are shown on the side mirror which we use to confirm...

Changing lane lump will only appear when we show the signal to turn right. if the light is read, it means it is dangerous to change the lane, then green, we can change the lane, or something like that :)

SmartPhone with glove

It is not the time... but while winter, it was really hard to operate smart phones with our glove...
everytime when we use phones, we have to take the gloves off...










There are some product, which enable us to use with gloves, but not cheep ones...







just making a gloves like the pic, i think it would be enough... of course everyone can make it, but if it is just a cut-glove, we can not use for long time... then, it would be nice if we can have something like that :)

English- English Dictionary and English-Japanese Dictionary

As I posted before I'm now studying English..

this post is also an idea of learning English... or.. i dare say, learning foreign language :)
When i start to learn english, the vocabulary list is always English-Japanese, and it works quite well.
and dictionary as well.

But as time past, many teacher recommend us to use english-english dictionary...
at that time, I didn't quite get the reason actually: why do we need to use en-en dictionary???

but yes, the more  words become difficult, the less familiar the translation japanese word is...
and it bring us to wrong way of leaning foreign language...

what is wrong way? of course there's nothing wrong, but the way which i think is wrong way...
 
let's say, when i learn a really difficult english word "A",  japanese explanation is like "B". However, even though "B" is written in japanese, the word is not familiar with me. then we just remember "A = B" just like the two sides of a coin, but rarely remember the meaning...
In that sense, english-english dictionary works quite well i can guess, because it is explaining what the word "A" means... We can learn the actual meaning by them.
but it is a bit tiring to use such kind of "only-foreign language dictionary"...


Then, what if we could have a dictionary, which explains the word as english-english dictionary does, but written in their own language...

here is an example,
If we look up the word "dictionary" in an en-en dictionary, it says

a book that lists the words of a language in alphabetical order and gives their meaning, or that gives the equivalent words in a different language.


In en-jp dictionary,
辞書

My idea is just translating the contents of en-en dictionary into japanese, so that we no longer need to remember "A=B", but can remember the meaning,  like "A is used when i feel... "

when it is really difficult word, I am sure that it works well :)

ear plugs with alarm

As I mentioned in

Solution for Snoring in hostel with friends

I snored...

then, yesterday's idea was also about snoring, and today also...

Some of my friend told me that if they have a ear plugs, then it doesn't matter...

but... the problem is having ear plugs make us impossible to hear the sound of alarm...
so... what if we can have ear plugs that have a function of alarm???
it would let people being able to hear the sound of alarm, but not snoring :)
ear plugs are wirelesslly connected with alarm

Solution for Snoring in hostel with friends

I'm now studying in Finland...

And i will stay here for 2 weeks...
then, i am staying with my friends in a room for 6 persons...

then, sometimes, i was told that "you snored", also when i traveling with my friends...

then, i really feel guilty....

then, today's idea is...

having "shut up" button for each bed,
and if someone snored, and it makes somebody up, the woke up person was allowed to push the button...


and few min later, there might be a victim also...


then, let's say, more than half person said he is noisy,
system can wake him up :)

let's wake the one up! so that people get the same feeling...

hmmm...

maybe there are no needs... i mean, there are few merit to have it for everybody.. but me, actually i think i want to have it...
