Existing research on integrated innovation primarily focuses on the integration of product functions or technologies in the engineering field, with limited exploration of cross-domain integration of biological knowledge. Various organisms exhibit various advantageous biological characteristics, and the multi-biological knowledge embedded within these characteristics can inspire designers to implement product integrated innovation. Biologically Inspired Design (BID) is a method that seeks inspiration from nature to achieve innovation in the engineering field. However, existing BID processes mainly apply the features of a single biological prototype. Against this background, this paper emphasizes how to achieve cross-domain integrated innovation through multi-biological knowledge. First, a method for generating integrated innovation ideas is proposed, achieved through obtaining biological prototypes and analyzing biological performance. Second, by obtaining the principal solution through the three mapping methods of biological effects, behaviors, and structures, a method for building the conceptual structure of integrated innovation is proposed. Finally, in conjunction with the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), a product-integrated innovation design process model based on biological inspiration is constructed. The method is validated with an example of a six-legged firefighting robot.

“…It is often said that an accurate definition of a problem solves 90 percent of problems. Scholars have suggested listing as many attributes of a product as possible, as the plausible root causes of product problems using a problem explorer [43], function/attribute analysis [44], ideal final result [45], and the Cynefin framework [46]. Since the studies above suggest leaps and intuitive thinking rather than a synthetic methodology, and recommend using fewer resources or existing technology to solve difficult problems, the quality of the creative ideas looked for is uneven.…”

Identifying technological opportunities early on is critical for the development of radical inventions (RIs). Patents are recognized as one of the most reliable resources for identifying technological opportunities. In line with this, this study aimed to suggest a novel approach for the identification of technological opportunities for RIs, based on the International Patent Classification (IPC), whose design knowledge has not been fully utilized. In this approach, technological opportunities for RIs are identified by measuring the value of technological novelty (VON) of each technology manifested in a patent set, and the value of difficulty (VOD) of each R&D theme contained in the patent set. Specifically, VONs are calculated through a novel map of technological changes over time, based on structured data from the patent set; and VODs are determined using natural language processing, K-means cluster analysis, and complex network analysis of the unstructured data from the patent set. The feasibility and operability of the proposed approach are verified in a case study of unmanned aerial vehicles. The proposed approach can help designers maximize the use of designs and expert knowledge in patent libraries, to formulate technical strategies for RIs.

“…TRIZ is a scientific methodology for problem-solving that was generated by Altshuller's team by studying and generalizing a large amount of patent library knowledge [68]. It is widely used as a powerful problem-analysis tool and problem-solving tool for the innovative design of products [69][70][71]. Computer-aided innovation (CAI) software is an innovative technology based on TRIZ theory that incorporates modern design methodology, computer technology, and multi-domain subjects [72,73].…”

Product hybridization design is a new model of integrated innovation. Existing methods of product hybridization design focus on technological recombination, and there is a lack of research from the perspective of function. Therefore, this paper proposes the concept of functional product hybridization. Obtaining goal products and fusing the existing product function systems are two keys to implementing product functional hybridization. However, existing functional integration methods acquire goal products too widely, and there is less research on fusing product function systems. In this paper, a scenario analysis model based on the divergence tree is established by combining scenario analysis and the divergence tree, and three paths of goal product prediction for functional hybridization are proposed. Based on the idea of biological gene recombination, a product gene model and a method of product gene recombination for functional hybridization are studied. Moreover, integrating the Theory of Inventive Problems Solving (TRIZ), a method of establishing a concept structure is proposed. On this basis, a process model for product functional hybridization design is established. An example of a new tree-planting machine illustrates the application of the proposed model. The proposed method enriches the theory of product hybridization design and achieves the fusion of product function systems to meet the multi-functional needs of users.
