Design Assistance by Example and Construction of Evaluation Basis

Abstract

Design is one of the typical tasks which are realized with both intelligence and sense. When demands for contents are increasing in this decade, design assistance with computers is one of the most important information technology services. The design assistance method known as Kansei Engineering, which combines multivariate analysis of impression and media technology, is not always applicable to productive design tasks. In the practical productive design, concrete cases are sometimes picked up in advance of design processing. This paper, focusing on this design, describes the style of case-based design, assistance by computers, the range of application, and the evaluation of generated contents.
