Identification and management of the near-field knowledge of industrial design for innovative product shapes

Abstract

Industrial design is a complex process that contains multifarious product knowledge systems which play different roles at different stages of product development. Based on the research of different theories and methods of knowledge classification, the article proposes a new method which divides industrial design knowledge into knowledge in the field, near-field knowledge, and far-field knowledge, and established a corresponding frame of the design knowledge. In order to differentiate the near-field knowledge which is more innovative in design from considerable knowledge to facilitate an efficient design process, mechanisms of similarity searching are used. If 0.3 < [Formula: see text] (similarity) < 0.6, then define the case as the near-field product case and the relative knowledge as near-field knowledge. The core knowledge can be retrieved to drive innovative modeling. Furthermore, the process of a laptop design is taken as an example and validated using this method.

Design and Implementation of Industrial Design and Transformation System Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology

“…From the beginning of its development to the present, not only has the technology been greatly improved but also the fields involved in AI are constantly expanding and predictable. Intelligent products are everywhere, but there are only a handful of researches on the design system of intelligent products [13]. Intelligent hardware is an important part of intelligent products, which refers to a new generation of intelligent terminal products with data acquisition, analysis and connection capabilities, remote control, intelligent identification, and other functions.…”
