Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 機械工程學系 === 105 === TRIZ is a series of innovative problem-solving tools developed by Russian scientist Genrich Altshuller (1926-1998) and his colleagues. After reviewing about 40 million patent abstracts, Altshuller found out how innovation took place and proposed 40 inventive principles - a list of known solutions which can inspire designers to solve new problems and come up with creative ideas. As science and technology progressed day by day, there are many new technologies and concepts, such as Internet of things, 3D-printing, virtual reality and autonomous vehicle. The number of patents continues to increase. However, the number of inventive principles remained 40, which means that new patents might not be turned into new principles. Moreover, this could be a restriction to innovation using traditional principles to solve new problems.
This study presents a process of innovative design which integrates TRIZ and emerging technologies to cover the shortage of old inventive principles. The emerging technology database provides quick review of state-of-the-art technologies and developing concepts. Based on TRIZ and the database, this design process guide designers to take advantage of the traits of emerging technologies and meanwhile consider the environmental effects in order to develop innovative and eco-friendly designs.
