DESIGN THINKING REFLECTION - VISUALIZATION 

 DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION 

 • Challenge : 

 I live in a gated community in one of the most developed cities of India . The challenge which   I ’ve faced and also observed among my neighbors , peers is lack of smart home locking   system . Being a college student , I return from the college very tired after the hectic journey in   public transport and sometimes my parents go out for shopping , to a neighbor ’s home , other   reasons . As we are having traditional locks , I must wait until my parents return . Despite my   hurdles I have also observed same challenge in case of my peers . Then I have thought of an idea   to introduce “ Smart and Efficient Bio - Metric Home Locking System ” . Through which I can   solve the challenge . But I ’ve to convince my community president and residents to make this   happen . Obviously , they will question me , and I must be giving answers , solving their queries to   get this done . 

 • Selection : 

 The tool I have selected is “ Visualization ” . The reason for selection is for this challenge I have   to visualize so I can know how I am going to make it happen and through visualization only I   can make people get an idea about this . As in my case , the solution is making / developing a   product which inter - related to Visualization . 

 Also . In Module - I it was clearly stated that “ it 's really important to be able to understand   the way that you communicate to people . The primary tools for , for thinking visually are   really just mastering some basic elements of imagining people , spaces , situations and actions or   movements . It 's very easy to create a simple diagram , and most anyone can draw a stick figure ,   an arrow , a circle , a square . Those are the basic building blocks of creating a   visualization . Visualization has a role to play throughout the design process or the   development process . ”

 • Application : 

 First , I focused more on product development . Here , I used “ Visualization ” and understood how   to develop it . Then by using advanced CAD , CAE software like Fusion360 and ANSYS , I made a   virtual prototype . I have presented this virtual prototype in front of whole community in a   gathering and got neutral feedback . Most people reacted satisfactory for the prototype . I was   also getting additional ideas to advance this prototype model and the insights I ’ve gained are   mentioned below .

 DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION 

 • Insights : 

 The “ Visualization ” tool was perfect for development of my understanding but most of the   people were not actually getting the need of implementing this . There were also few people   who gave suggestions such as developing an Application which remotely grants access to get   inside home , integrating surveillance system with lock , intruder alarm technology and more .   Then I began to   think how I can make this better as well as convince the public . Finally , I   understood visualization is n’t enough . 

 • Approach : 

 Anyhow I was getting another chance to present my thought , this time I used “ MIND MAPPING ”   techniques in addition to “ VISUALIZATION ” and developed actual product which is “ Arduino   based smart home lock with integrated surveillance ” . For connecting and convincing people , I   have used “ STORY TELLING ” . Response was tremendously overwhelming , now we have formed   a team and working actually on how to make it more efficient , user friendly . Happy to share   that the App Development is in setting up stage and we are planning to expand our product   market .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
