Week Assignment

The assignment for this week was something that interests me. We were introduced to various types of licenses that can be used to register our project. The task that we had to carry out for this week was to decide on the way we wanted to disseminate our final project (e-rachu).

Invention
The physical construction of a new thought or idea is referred to as invention. It is also described in Nesta's innovation policy as "the formulation of a concept to do or manufacture something without proof that it works or is financially viable. Invention cannot exist without creativity, yet creativity alone is insufficient to effectively develop an idea.

Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is a wide term for the collection of intangible assets held and legally protected by something like a firm or individual from unauthorized use or application. An intangible asset is a non-physical property owned by a firm or individual.
Intellectual property refers to the idea that some products of human intelligence should be protected in the same way that physical property, often known as tangible assets, is. The majority of industrialized economies have legislative safeguards in designed to safeguard both types of property.

Types of Intellectual Properties

1. Patents

The patent is a property right issued to an investor by a government body such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grants the creator sole ownership of the invention, which might be a design, procedure, improvement, or physical innovation such as a machine. Patents for designs are frequently held by technology and software businesses.

2. Copyright

Authors and producers of original content have the sole right for using, copy, or replicate their work under copyright. Book authors, like musicians, hold copyright on their works. A copyright also specifies that the original authors can offer anybody permission to utilize the work through a license agreement.

3. Trademark

A trademark is a recognized symbol, phrase, or emblem that identifies a product and legally distinguishes it from other items. A trademark is issued to a firm exclusively, which implies that the business owns the trademark and no one else may use or reproduce it. A trademark is frequently linked to a company's brand.

4. Trade Secret

A trade secret is a corporation's procedure or technique that is not public knowledge and gives a financial benefit to the company or trade secret holder. Trade secrets, which are often the outcome of a firm's research and development, should be actively protected by company.

Plan for Dissemination of Final Project

Since the introduction of social media, customers have increasingly dictated trends rather than companies. Social media has caused people to embrace and abandon fashion trends faster than ever before, and manufacturers should keep up with the forecasts to satisfy their customers.

Instagram now has approximately 1 billion monthly users and more than 100 million photographs shared everyday. Can you fathom how powerful these visuals are? In reality, they impact three-quarters of transactions and are frequently pushed by firms that partner alongside stars and their entourage. I plan to disseminate my scarf through the usage of social media. Further, if possible the project will be showcased in the following places: presentation to the Textile Manufacturers Bhutan to show them how our tradition can be combined with the expanding technologies. Showcasing the project and its outcomes to the interested organizations to gain their support is one of the primary goals.

Development of Project Presentation

This week's objective is to create a one-page slide that will be used in conjunction with a one-minute clip for the final presentation.
The following specs are provided: (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and Video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, minute, 10 MB). I created the slide using Power Point and the movie using iMovie, as seen below:

Future Scope

In order to improve the project, the following need to be done:

1. Make a mobile application that can be used to change the intensity and the frequency at which the LED brightens or flickers respectively
2. Make the e-rachu rechargeable and have an indicator that indicates the available battery percentage
3. Incorporate more features into the e-rachu
