When developing new products, brand designers must analyse related products, which is a complicated and time-consuming process. Modern product design often requires complex engineering processes; product development requires extensive knowledge but there is also a demand for shorter product design cycles. Therefore, we propose a method based on extension theory and the analytic hierarchy process for identifying product-related knowledge, to aid the development of new products. First, based on our understanding of extenics, matter-element and relational meta-models of product form, function, and structure are established. Then, we define different primitives of brand identity. Finally, using an "extensional analytic hierarchy process" (EAHP), a hierarchy is established and the weights of different primitives are calculated. Various combinations of primitives are used to facilitate knowledge transfer for computer-aided intelligent design. Design data for multiple cases are analysed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. The method was verified in a physiological signal experiment, and the results show that the method can effectively accumulate product knowledge. Rapid data mining is important for market competitiveness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
