外在化・分類操作・Void 発見のサイクルと発明的問題解決理論の連係による発想支援手法

抄録

Generation of new concepts in product design process serves as driving force of innovation. The authors’ previous work proposed ECF (Externalization, Classification and Finding voids) cycle as a model of designers’ thinking process in idea generation. This research proposes a new method of idea generation based on the ECF cycle incorporating the theory of solving inventive problems (TRIZ). A case study of idea generation of new running shoes is demonstrated in order to verify the ability of the proposed method.
