DESIGN THINKING stands for design-specific cognitive

activities that designers apply during the process of designing.
Design thinking has come to be defined as combining
empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the
generation of insights and solutions, and rationality in
analyzing and fitting various solutions to the problem context.

The goal of Design Thinking is matching peoples needs with

what is technologically feasible and viable as a business
strategy.

2.EMPATHY MAPPING
2.1 For designing the empathy mapping canvas, we selected
the domain web crawling.
2.2 The users are student, technicians, engineers, artists,
doctors, teachers, businessmen. We selected PK as our
naive user.
Stakeholders are application programmers, DBA, ISP.

2.3 The activities associated with the users are as follows:

Searching music : PK searches music in phone.

Searching photos : PK searches photos in phone.
Searching on web : If file will not found in phone than
PK can use web searching instantly.
Searching documents : PK search various types of
documents.
Searching files : PK can search various types of
supported and unsupported files.
Searching contacts : PK can instantly search contact.
Searching apps : PK can search apps directly.
Searching browsing history : PK can search securely
browsing history and can visit that website.

2.4 STORY BOARDING:

Happy :
PK who is a student, who has one smart phone and contain
syllabus and exam papers of each subject of years in which he
is studying. Now using efficient searching he can directly open
any file from phone, and he can search anything in phone.

Happy :
If file that is PK finding, is not on phone. Then simultaneously
the file will be searched on web in background and without
waiting PK can search the file on internet. It is time efficient .
PK can similarly search music, photos,on web, documents,
browsing history, contacts, apps, file whether file is supported
or not. PK can search every thing in SD card.

Sad :
If PK uses a normal file searching then for seeing exam papers,
he has to open file manager and then select file. Now for other
subjects papers, he has to close that file first and after that he
will find and will open it. This is time consuming process.

Sad :
If the file that is being searched is not available in phone , then
he has to manually search on the web.

CONCLUSION:
After completing the empathy canvas, we got few ideas:
File-searching is now being used in every field by every
type of users. But there are not available efficient and
effortless searching system. For searching different types of
file user has to switch between applications.

3. IDEATION CANVAS
3.1 People: Students, Artists, Engineers, Technician, Doctors,
Teachers, Businessman.

3.2 People + Activities:

3.3 Situation/Context/Location:
The various situations and locations where these activities are
done are as follows:
Students mostly searches files at home, college.
Artists mostly searches files at home, office.
Doctors mostly searches files at hospitals and home.
Technician mostly searches files at airports, railways,
home, office, industries, hospital, college.
Teachers mostly searches files at colleges and home.

3.4 Props:
Use of efficient algorithm.
Use of efficient platform.
Use of Add-ons.
GUI
Use of Plug-Ins.

3.5 Problems:
The problems we figured out while analysing the ideation
canvas are:
1. Poor speed.
2. User has to search different file using different
application.
3. Sometimes file is not found.
4. Unsupported files can not be searched.
5. browsing history can also be searched securely.
6. Documents can be searched effectively.

3.6 PICTURE OF IDEATION CANVAS

Conclusion:
From ideation canvas, we finally concluded our topic for the
design thinking. We will design app through which user can
search different types of file , contacts, apps or you can say
anything in the phone without switching to different
applications.

4. Product Development Canvas

-Purpose:
Our purpose is to provide efficient file searching for all
types of
file.

-People:
Students
Teachers
Artists
Technician

 Businessman
Doctors
Engineers

-Components:
Components build up features.
Android
Java
.Net
Ios

-Product Experience:
Experience defines the feelings and emotions of the
customer when he uses our product.
User-friendly
Speedy search and performance
Comfortable design
Easy to use
Memory efficient
Efficient GUI

-Product Functions:
Functions are the products answers to the customers
needs or problems. Our product is capable of searching
every types of files using single application within
phone and file is not found then user will be able to find
that file on web also. Our product also supports voice
search.

-Product Features:
Our product will efficiently use memory. The main
feature of our product is searching anything without
switching to different applications and can also
searches unsupported files. If the file is not found in the
phone then user will have option to find it on web as
well. Our product will also capable to search files
speedy.

-Customer Revalidation:
After finishing the canvas, testing it with the
customers/user if the features, functions are useful.
Customer Revalidation is the process through which different
users give their feedbacks, comments, compliments,
suggestions about the product/service.
So, we explained our product idea and related canvases to the
faculties acting as customers for our product/service.
The revalidation given are:
Nice object concept, user-friendly, something new.
Solutions must be feasible.
Innovative idea.

-Reject/Redesign/Retain:
Post customer validation, reject those features or
functions that the customer doesnt find useful. Redesign
those that were partially useful and retain those met the bar.
After successful customer revalidation, our product was retain.

Final Product Solution::

Final production is as follows:
We are planning to create a Searching app, which will
have a feature of accepting an word and then this app will try
to find searches related to that keyword. App will try to find
that word in entire phone including contacts, memory-card,
apps, documents, unsupported file, saved browsing history,
music, photos in gallery and will give best and appropriate
result. Another option search on web will be provided so that if
file related to entered keyword is not found then user can
directly search it on web and can get appropriate results. The
App will also contain voice search as to search effortlessly.
