Construction and Application of Enterprise Knowledge Base for Product Innovation Design

As most of the knowledge used in industrial product design is based on data files from a previous design, it difficult to be efficiently applied supporting innovation design. This paper proposes method construct an enterprise base (EKB) for A concept functional basis (FBP) first proposed similar products. The function units and corresponding technical are clustered EKB retrieval path then level. prototype software developed retrieve directly through determine optimal technology by searching ranking relevant patents. patent circumvention Theory Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methods solve invention problems obtain innovative solutions. built model provides systematic process. An underwater separator case study verify method.
