“…Si & Lee discusses how to select the target patent under enterprise's strategy, before finally taking the designing around existing patent based on patent standardisation as a successful implementation of innovative process [3]. Hu, Su, Lee, Chen, & Chang apply TRIZ methodology to assist product improvement that includes drawing patent maps, applying the methodology of TRIZ to analyze the problems, designing an improved folding bicycle [4].…”

“…Thus, most enterprises invest a lot to increase the efficiency of the R & D and decrease the cost of manufacture. By the theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ) [1,2] and process of new prototype design [3,4,5,6], we propose the systematic process of innovation that can be made engineers to define problems correctly and find innovative solutions easily.…”

In order to make research and development more efficient as well as lower cost, we have successfully proposed a systematic design process for designers. By the theory of inventive problem-solving and systematic controlling variables method controlling different variables are divided into three stages: primary innovation, secondary innovation, and tertiary innovation, consequently. Besides, based on technology analysis, we also have optimized the design in each stage. To illustrate the systematic process, there is a case study that a novel multifunctional optical film designed by the systematic process could improve the existing patent of a backlight module.

Existing intelligent vacuum cleaners were found to have inadequate suction and power consumption issues in addition to an undistinguished appearance. Therefore, this studys aim was to explore and improve the functionality and appearance of intelligent vacuum cleaners. Based on TRIZ theory, this study conducted a function analysis of intelligent vacuum cleaners and established a proposal for improvement. By combining the 39 engineering parameters with the TRIZ contradiction matrix and 40 inventive principles, appropriate rules were chosen to improve the problem of innovation. At the same time, through patent review and analysis, a design method which did not infringe on current patents was developed. In the results of this study, the vacuum cleaner was complied with an innovative UFO-like design, with suction ports set around the chassis to increase cleaning range and efficiency. When the battery power is below the minimum requirements for optimal performance, the vacuum cleaner can automatically return to a charging stand and replace its own battery. This study also designed the joystick and buttons of the remote control to resemble a cute alien for improved aesthetics. In conclusion, this study used Pro Engineering software to design a vacuum cleaner like UFO and a remote controller shaped like an alien, and a rapid prototype machine was employed to create a product prototype.

To guarantee a higher efficiency in research and development as well as substantial returns on investment, it is essential that corporations reduce the costs incurred by R & D departments. Based on three stages of technological innovation, this paper proposes an integrated process of systematic innovation for redesigning prototypes. This process integrates technology analysis, patent design-around strategies, innovative design methods in the theory of inventive problem-solving, rules of patent infringement judgment, and how to innovate by designing around existing patent. There is a case study that it is expected a redesign of prototypes of light guide panels by design-around strategies to avoid infringement of existing patents can be used to illustrate the integrated process.
