It has been reported that it is possible for the upstream design stage to lead to new inventions, by combining existing knowledge based on designers' experiences, know-how, and intuition. It is necessary to formulate designer's reasoning act, and introduce the reasoning rule that generates a new function by using language function representation framework. In this paper, the formulation of the reasoning rule is tried by examining the context of the function structure of the home electronics that seems to have been generated by the function synthesis. As a result of the analysis, it has been understood that 2 functions be able to synthesize by using 9 kinds of reasoning rules.
