(quoted from scantec.de)4C: consumer products, car entertainment, communication, computer network
The difference between consumer and PC
What’s the difference when you stay in living room and study room?
You will spend much time to learn how to use Office/PowerPoint/ Outlook.
You won’t spend even a minute to learn how to use the TV remote controller.
Therefore, consumers don’t care about hardware inside but the functions and interface. It should be easy to use.
A fail example-PMP(Portable Media Player)
You can do other activities when you listen to music.
You can download music through internet in 1 minute.
The LCD panel of PMP is too small for use
A successful example-Digital Photo Frame
Put digital photos on the digital photo frame. It’s a simple concept and very useful.
