Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of creative design, and more particularly to a creative design method, system, device, and medium based on creative examples. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional creative design often lacks systematic retrieval and analysis, resulting in unclear design direction and blind creative generation. Existing technologies may only solve superficial problems of products, such as appearance or simple functional deficiencies, without uncovering the root causes of technical defects through scene slicing and layered mapping. When improving existing technologies, design thinking is easily limited by the original technical framework and lacks multi-dimensional innovation guidance.

[0003] In conclusion, there is a need for a creative design method, system, device, and medium based on creative examples to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a creative design method, system, device and medium based on creative examples, aiming to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a creative design method based on creative examples, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step S1: Obtain the target design requirements, and based on the target design requirements, search and determine the closest existing technology example in the existing technology library;

[0007] Step S2: Perform pain point analysis on the existing technology example, extract at least one technical defect that is different from the existing technical solution, and identify the technical problem to be solved;

[0008] Step S3: Based on the technical problem to be solved, and in conjunction with the preset innovative design dimensions, a solution is conceived to generate an initial creative design solution containing core innovative features;

[0009] Step S4: Verify the technical feasibility of the initial creative design scheme and iterate the prototype to output the final target creative design scheme.

[0010] Optionally, step S1 is implemented in the following manner:

[0011] Step A1: Requirements gathering, collecting information on target users' usage scenarios, unmet needs, and pain points of existing products;

[0012] Step A2: Formulate search strategy. Based on the defined target design requirements, determine the search keywords, technical fields, functional categories or application scenarios, and set the search scope.

[0013] Step A3: Preliminary search and acquisition. Perform a search in the existing technology library to obtain an initial set of technologies that are relevant to the target design requirements in terms of function, structure, or application scenario. Extract basic information of existing technology examples from the search results.

[0014] Step A4: Screening and determination of technical examples. Compare the examples in the initial set of technologies with the target design requirements and evaluate their similarity in terms of technical problems, technical means and technical effects. Based on the evaluation results, select the existing technology examples that have the highest degree of overlap with the target design requirements in terms of function or application scenario and are the most reasonable basis for improvement, and establish them as the closest technologies.

[0015] Optionally, step S2 involves analyzing the pain points of the prior art example, specifically including:

[0016] The entire process of using the aforementioned existing technology example is broken down into multiple scenario slices;

[0017] For each scenario segment, we can identify both surface-level and deep-level pain points through user behavior observation or data feedback.

[0018] By mapping the surface pain points to the deep pain points in a hierarchical manner, the root causes of the technical defects can be identified.

[0019] Optionally, step S3 is implemented in the following manner:

[0020] Step B1: Targeted matching of innovative design dimensions. Based on the attributes of the established technical problem to be solved, accurately match and select at least one applicable innovative dimension from the preset innovative design dimension library, and transform the selected innovative dimension into specific design guiding principles to clarify the core focus of this solution concept.

[0021] Step B2: Innovation feature extraction and solution integration. Based on different dimensions, the solution is conceived, and the key technical points that directly solve the technical problem to be solved and are different from the existing technology are identified and extracted, and these are established as the core innovation points.

[0022] Optionally, in step S3, based on the technical problem to be solved and combined with preset innovative design dimensions, a solution is conceived, specifically including:

[0023] If the innovative design dimension is functional reconstruction, then the core functional logic of the existing technical example is changed, and new technical principles or composite structures are introduced to solve the technical defects.

[0024] If the innovative design dimension is experience optimization, then the operation process or feedback mechanism of the existing technology examples will be improved based on the user interaction path and emotional value needs.

[0025] If the innovative design dimension is a breakthrough in form, then it breaks through the physical form limitations of existing technology examples and adopts modular design or flexible structure to adapt to new application scenarios.

[0026] Optionally, step S30 may be included after step S3:

[0027] The initial creative design scheme is subjected to prior art retrieval and comparative analysis to construct a technical feature comparison table. The differences between the initial creative design scheme and the prior art are evaluated to determine whether they are non-obvious. If not, the process returns to the scheme conception step for optimization.

[0028] Optionally, step S4 involves verifying the technical feasibility of the initial creative design and iterating on a prototype, specifically including:

[0029] Create a low-fidelity prototype or technical demonstration model of the initial creative design;

[0030] Obtain performance test data of the low-fidelity prototype or technology demonstration model under preset operating conditions;

[0031] If the performance test data does not achieve the preset expected technical effect, the key parameters or structural layout in the initial creative design scheme will be adjusted until the verification is passed.

[0032] A creative design system based on creative examples, employing the creative design method based on creative examples, is characterized by including a requirement acquisition and retrieval module, a pain point analysis and problem identification module, a creative idea and solution generation module, a non-obviousness assessment module, and a verification and prototype iteration module.

[0033] The requirement acquisition and retrieval module is used to collect the usage scenarios, unmet needs and existing pain points of target users. Based on the defined needs, a retrieval strategy is formulated to search for relevant technology sets in the existing technology library, evaluate the similarity of technical examples in terms of problems, methods and effects, and select the closest existing technology examples that have the highest degree of overlap with the needs and are most suitable as the basis for improvement.

[0034] The pain point analysis and problem identification module is used to break down the entire process of using existing technology examples into specific scenario slices. Through user behavior observation or data feedback, it locates the surface pain points and deep pain points in each slice, maps the pain points in layers, filters out the root causes of technical defects, and thus identifies specific technical problems to be solved.

[0035] The creative ideation and solution generation module is used to match applicable dimensions from a preset innovation dimension library based on the attributes of the technical problem to be solved, identify and extract key technical points that are different from existing technologies, establish them as core innovation features, and generate initial creative design solutions.

[0036] The non-obviousness assessment module is used to search existing technologies for the initial creative solution, build a technical feature comparison table, and assess whether the differences between the solution and existing technologies are non-obvious. If they are not non-obvious, the system is triggered to return to the conception step for optimization to ensure the innovation level of the solution.

[0037] The verification and prototype iteration module is used to create a low-fidelity prototype or technical demonstration model of the initial creative design scheme, obtain performance test data of the low-fidelity prototype or technical demonstration model under preset working conditions, and if the performance test data does not achieve the preset expected technical effect, adjust the key parameters or structural layout in the initial creative design scheme until the verification is passed.

[0038] An electronic device, comprising:

[0039] One or more processors;

[0040] Memory, used to store one or more programs;

[0041] When the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the creative design method based on creative examples.

[0042] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the creative design method based on creative examples.

[0043] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0044] 1. In this invention, the randomness of traditional design relying on inspiration is changed, and a standardized process from demand to implementation is established. Improvements are made based on the closest existing technology examples, avoiding blind exploration from scratch, greatly shortening the design cycle, and introducing verification and prototype iteration steps to ensure that ideas not only stay on paper, but can also be transformed into a technically feasible final solution.

[0045] 2. In this invention, by defining requirements and formulating retrieval strategies, the interference of massive amounts of information is avoided, and the most valuable examples can be quickly retrieved from the existing technology library. When screening, not only the function is considered, but also the similarity of technical problems, technical means and technical effects is comprehensively evaluated to ensure that the selected examples are the best starting line.

[0046] 3. This invention introduces a pre-defined library of innovative design dimensions, providing a basis for creative ideas. Specific innovative dimensions are matched to specific technical problems, clarifying the core focus of the design and emphasizing the extraction of key technical points that differentiate it from existing technologies as core innovation points, thus ensuring the differentiation of the output solutions.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a creative design method based on creative examples includes the following:

[0052] Step S1: Obtain the target design requirements, and based on the target design requirements, search and determine the closest existing technology example in the existing technology library;

[0057] S12. Development of search strategies for existing technology databases

[0058] Determine the search dimensions: Based on the defined target design requirements, determine the search keywords, technical fields, functional categories, or application scenarios.

[0059] Define the search scope: Clearly define the scope of existing technology databases, such as patent databases, industry competitor databases, cross-domain design case databases, etc., to ensure the comprehensiveness and relevance of the search.

[0060] S13. Preliminary search and acquisition of prior art examples

[0061] Perform a search operation: Perform a search in the existing technology library to obtain an initial set of technologies that are relevant to the target design requirements in terms of function, structure, or application scenario.

[0062] Information extraction: Extract basic information about existing technology examples from the search results, including but not limited to technical principles, structural composition, functional characteristics, and user feedback data.

[0063] S14. Selection and determination of the closest prior art examples

[0064] Relevance assessment: Compare the examples in the initial technology set with the target design requirements to assess their similarity in terms of technical problems, technical means, and technical effects.

[0065] Identify the closest example: Based on the evaluation results, select the existing technology examples that have the highest degree of overlap with the target design requirements in terms of function or application scenario and are the most reasonable basis for improvement, and establish them as the closest examples.

[0066] Step S2: Identify the technical problem, conduct a pain point analysis on the existing technical examples, extract at least one technical defect that differs from the existing technical solutions, and establish the technical problem to be solved;

[0067] Specifically, through the following methods:

[0068] S21. Full-process scenario breakdown of existing technology examples

[0069] Scene segmentation: The complete lifecycle or operation process of existing technology examples in actual use is broken down into multiple independent scene segments, such as: installation stage, startup stage, normal operation stage, maintenance stage, etc.

[0070] Interaction Node Analysis: For each scenario slice, analyze the specific interaction actions and logical nodes between the user and the product, or between the various components within the product.

[0071] S22. Pain Point Identification and Defect Extraction

[0072] Pain Point Identification: Based on the above scenario slices and interaction nodes, through user behavior observation, historical data feedback or technical principle deduction, identify the surface pain points (such as cumbersome operation and low efficiency) and deep pain points (such as structural redundancy and principle defects) of existing technologies in specific scenarios.

[0073] Technical defect mapping: Transform the identified pain points into objective technical defect descriptions, clearly indicating which specific structure, material, or control logic in the existing technical solution is responsible for the defect.

[0074] 3. Establishing Distinguishing Features and Technical Issues

[0075] Distinguishing feature extraction: The extracted technical defects are compared with conventional technical methods to identify the root causes of the defects that have not yet been effectively solved by existing technologies, which serve as the distinguishing features that need to be addressed in subsequent innovative solutions.

[0076] Technical Problem Definition: Based on the aforementioned distinguishing characteristics, define the technical problem to be solved using objective and positive technical language. This problem should directly correspond to the technical defect you want to improve and provide clear guidance for the subsequent generation of creative technical solutions.

[0082] S32. Targeted solution design based on different dimensions

[0083] Functional restructuring concept: If the dimension is functional restructuring, we will conduct an in-depth analysis of the core functional logic of existing technical examples, and change the original functional implementation path by introducing new technical principles (such as changing mechanical transmission to electromagnetic drive) or composite structures, so as to fundamentally solve the technical defects.

[0084] Experience optimization concept: If the dimension is experience optimization, the focus is on the interaction path between users and products and their emotional value needs. The operation process, human-computer interaction interface or feedback mechanism of existing technology examples are refined to improve the convenience and comfort of use.

[0085] Form Breakthrough Concept: If the dimension is form breakthrough, it breaks the inherent physical form limitations of existing technology examples, and adopts modular design, flexible and variable structure or biomimetic form to make it better adapt to new application scenarios or solve space limitation problems.

[0086] S33. Extraction of core innovative features and integration of solutions

[0087] Feature extraction: In the above conceptualization process, key technical means that can directly solve the technical problem to be solved and are different from existing technologies are identified and extracted, and these are established as the core innovation points.

[0088] Solution integration and generation: The extracted core innovative features are organically integrated with the necessary conventional technical features to construct an initial creative design solution that is structurally complete and logically consistent, ensuring that the solution is feasible.

[0089] Step S30: Perform prior art retrieval and comparative analysis on the initial creative design scheme, construct a technical feature comparison table, and evaluate whether the differences between the initial creative design scheme and the prior art are non-obvious. If not, return to the scheme conception step for optimization.

[0090] Step S4: Verify the technical feasibility of the initial creative design scheme and iterate the prototype to output the final target creative design scheme.

[0091] Specifically, through the following methods:

[0092] Create a low-fidelity prototype or technical demonstration model of the initial creative design scheme; obtain performance test data of the low-fidelity prototype or technical demonstration model under preset working conditions; if the performance test data does not achieve the preset expected technical effect, adjust the key parameters or structural layout in the initial creative design scheme until verification is passed.
