17. Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models¶
For this week we had to:
-
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
-
Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your website’s root directory

Dissemination Plan¶
My project is most likely educational in nature. During the implementation of the final project, I learned a lot of new things. My main interest was to create a working mechanism consisting of gears using a CNC milling machine, and I was able to accomplish this. I am also very interested in building various machines. I learned how to control a stepper motor and designed a board that will control the entire system.
To further improve the watch, my idea would be to make the watch more accessible. To create a rotating mechanism, I had to do a lot of manual work, in particular, the gears required manual grinding. Gear sizing and fitting to axle locations should be simple. The assembly and disassembly process should be convenient and flexible (the housing should be easy to assemble and the gear axles should be easy to install).
Secondly, the watch must have additional features. They must be interactive and be able to be controlled via Wi-Fi. They will store data on the position of the arrows and, if necessary, the user will be able to change the time. In this case, the rotation speed of the driven gear will change, and the arrows will automatically move to a new position with the set rotation speed. Depending on the environment, change the light to change the backlight.
License¶
After conducting some research, I discovered the optimal option. I came across CreativeCommons, which offers six different types of licenses, and I decided to go with the most permissive one.
