This document proposes and describes a vibrating alarm watch designed to wake users up gently without disturbing others. The original idea was to use electric shocks but was modified to use vibration instead. The watch would vibrate on the wrist to wake the user quietly while allowing them to sleep through loud noises. It is presented as a solution for people who have trouble waking up on time or for those who want to wake without disturbing partners or roommates.

2. Original Idea
 Idea Description:
People who cannot wake up easily using alarm
clocks will use our devices which will give them mild
electric shock to wake them up.

3. Turning the “Worst” idea into a
good one
 Modification:
We are going to replace the electric shock with
vibration, in order not to hurt the user of the device
which is mainly a watch.

4. Commercial Idea
 Have problems waking up early in the morning?
 Wake up late and wonder who turned your alarm off?
Having troubles with your
----------------------------- boss because of being late
--- and missing important
------------- meetings?

5. Commercial Idea
 Your girlfriend hates it when you are late
and miss the start of the movie?
 Always late for your classes? Have an important
interview and want to make sure you arrive on time?

6. Commercial Idea
 Your roommate gets annoyed waking up by
your alarm?
 Your husband’s alarm wakes
your baby up?

7. Commercial Idea
 Solution:
The vibrating alarm is
exactly what you need, just set
your alarm, put it on and sleep
peacefully.

8. Commercial Idea
 The vibrating alarm can wake you up by vibrating in
your hand, so it will wake you up quietly without
annoying your baby or your roommate, you can also
turn the alarm’s sound on if vibration is not enough or
if you want to wake up your roommate as well.

9. Commercial Idea
 Advantages:
 Vibration and sound alarm with the option to turn off
one of them.
 Comfortable and good looking hand watch.
 The vibration alarm is less disturbing than the sound
alarm and more effective.
 Your husband/wife, roommate, brother/sister won’t be
disturbed if they don’t follow the same waking up
schedule as you do.
