Part of the book series: IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology ((IFIPAICT,volume 635))

Included in the following conference series:

Abstract

The proposed method includes identification and documentation of the elementary TRIZ inventive principles from the TRIZ body of knowledge, extension and enhancement of inventive principles by patents and technologies analysis, avoiding overlapping and redundant principles, classification and adaptation of principles to at least following categories such as working medium, target object, useful action, harmful effect, environment, information, field, substance, time, and space, assignment of the elementary inventive principles to the at least following underlying engineering domains such as universal, design, mechanical, acoustic, thermal, chemical, electromagnetic, intermolecular, biological, and data processing. The method includes classification of abstraction level of the elementary principles, definition of the statistical ranking of principles for different problem types, and specific engineering or non-technical domains, definition of strategies for selection of principles sets with high solution potential for predefined problems, automated semantic transformation of the elementary inventive principles into solution ideas, evaluation of automatically generated ideas and transformation of ideas to innovation or inventive concepts.
