Method to Aid Product Innovation by TRIZ, DSM and Patent Knowledge

Abstract:

For effectively use patents as information resource for aiding product innovation and avoid patent infringement, a method using patent knowledge based on Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and Theory of Innovative Problem Solving (TRIZ) is proposed. First the couple relationship between different components in objective patent of product is analyzed by DSM. Next deep knowledge of component which has least couple relationship with other components and lower restriction of creation is acquired from patent. Last the component is redesigned by TRIZ according to the design requirements. The method is illustrated by the innovation design of an ATV with shock-absorption function.
