Determine what they are proposing their API will do. Explain what the information in the schematic diagram and claims means for the end user. Explain whether this patent information is easy to understand. Why or why not?

Summative Assessment: Communication Plan Analysis

This week you will use your communication and critical thinking skills to propose a strategy to better communicate an API for an automatic lawnmower.

You have been assigned by your company to help communicate the meaning of an API to the marketing team. The team wants to create content for an end user who is not a computer engineer and who wants to understand why this new automatic lawnmower would be a good purchase.

Study the Automatic Lawn Mower Schematic Diagram, along with the accompanying 4 claims made by the researchers. This content was generated by an actual research team of computer engineers who are developing and have a patent for an API to be integrated with an automatic lawnmower.

Determine what these researchers are claiming about their patented API by using the schematics and reading the first four claims they are making.

NOTE: Draft a 750- to 850-word email communication to the marketing team that provides your analysis of the schematic diagram.

 

NOTE: Create your draft in Microsoft Word and complete the following:

Determine what they are proposing their API will do.
Explain what the information in the schematic diagram and claims means for the end user.
Explain whether this patent information is easy to understand. Why or why not?
Propose different ways that the communication can be clearer to an end-user audience like a customer.
Explain how the graphic schematic diagram is useful and how you might change it to make it more useful.
Explain whether the diagram fits well with the written communication. Why or why not?
