Using TRIZ Methods in Product Design and Improvement of a Presenter Mouse

Abstract:

This research concerns the design of a presenter mouse which is currently available, and applies the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) design method to carry on the improvement and design of the product. The objective is practicability and functional improvement of a wireless presenter mouse, letting it combine the principles of human factors engineering so that possible discomfort induced by long time operation can be lightened. Finally, Pro/Engineer and Photoshop drawing software is applied to finish the design drawing of two mice, one for males and one for females.
