This study aims to find the major creative ideation patterns embedded in the commercially valuable patents in the mobile communication industry. For the purpose, we analyze 171 cases of the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Nokia in the United States. It is examined that what kind of TRIZ inventive principles and SIT thinking tools were applied to resolve technical contractions in each of the 171 cases respectively. Among the 40 inventive principles of TRIZ, 'feedback' principle was used mostly and 'division' principle the next. Among the 5 thinking tools of SIT, 'attribute dependency' mostly used, and 'division' the next. This suggests that what kind of inventive principles or thinking tools should be considered preferentially to resolve technical contradictions in practically important technical problems in the mobile communication industry.

Many methods have been suggested for a creative problem solving approach. TRIZ approach is ranked top in its practical application because it is originated from the real patent analysis. This approach is assumed to be generic which can be applied to any types of problems regardless of problem type and its domain. The objective of this study is to propose a creative problem solving approach using TRIZ's contradiction analysis, then introduce a case study of applying this approach to a creative design coursework. Main topic covers a creative problem solving approach, a problem definition using TRIZ contradiction analysis, finding invention principles, and problem solving from the generic approach. For the course project, Roborobo tool is adopted to implement the design concept. This coursework helps students finding a general problem solving approach, and applying a generic solution for their specific problem domain.

TRIZ는 문제분석을 통한 모순을 찾아내어 이를 해결하는 Process에 역점을 두는 방법론으로 알트슐러와 그의 동료에 의해 수십만건의 특허를 분석하는 과정에서 시대와 분야를 막론하고 동일한 유형의 문제가 반복되고, 이를 해결하는 방법도 동일함을 규명하여 이를 체계화한 방법론으로, 현재 핵심기술 개발 및 창의적 문제 해결 방법론으로 각광받고 있다. 그러나 TRIZ 역시 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 그것은 초기 과제 정의가 어렵다는 것과 효과산출을 어떻게 하면 객관화 할 수 있을 것인가 이며, 또한 도출된 아이디어를 최적화 하는 방안이다 하나의 방법론만으로는 모든 과제 해결을 위해 일괄 적용 시키는 것은 모순이며, 경영기법간의 연계를 통한 경영효과 극대화가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 6시그마와 TRIZ 방법론 분석을 통한 각 방법론의 이해를 높이고, 이를 바탕으로 서로 방법론간의 연계의 필요성을 확인 및 방법론 간 연계를 위한 연계 프로세스 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently the government banners green growth promises as a paradigm of national development which are to reduce greenhouse gases and environmental pollution by exhaust gases from automobiles. Existing in all countries around the world by using fossil fuels to minimize environmental changes are developing a new alternative energy sources. Among the emerging alternative energy, using solar energy technology is applied across the industry, but the maintenance and repair to integrate solar cells and has been a problem occurs. To prolong the life of cells integrated on a solar cell is exposed when the non-eye, etc., when not integrated by the solar cells should not be exposed. In order to resolve these contradictions, a intellectual solar green street lighting was developed by using Q(Quick)-TRIZ.

This paper presents a study on the design of a pulling module for silicon ingot and an apparatus of manufacturing silicon single crystal ingot using the same method. The pulling module is conceptually designed by using TRIZ. Czochralski method(CZ) is representative way to manufacture single crystal ingot for wafers. The seed can be broken by high tension which is caused by large weight of a silicon ingot. The solution of this problem has been derived using 6SC(6 steps creativity)TRIZ. The pulling module is actuated by DC motor and rollers. High tension in the seed is removed by the rotate-elevate motion of rollers in the pulling module. A rubber belt is included in the rotate-elevate mechanism for increasing friction between rollers and silicon ingot.

Transition Nozzles are used in industrial air-cooled heat exchangers and widely used in industrial sites as an important component in the heat energy transfer between a heat source and an actuating fluid. There is a worldwide demand for transition nozzles with various materials and shapes, depending on the use environment. This paper aims to improve the transition nozzle forging process suitable for the production of many varieties using Steps 1 to 6 of the TRIZ Methodology for Problem Solving. By utilizing the TRIZ Methodology, this study derives a method to design a variable mold, which is more efficient and can reduce costs compared with having to use several molds. To verify the suitability of the methods derived using the TRIZ technique, a forging analysis is performed on a transition nozzle using DEFORMⓇ, a commercial program for plasticity analysis, and the nozzle material is evaluated for damage as a result of deformation of the transition nozzle thickness. The derived methods can be applied to transition nozzle formation equipment to improve the efficiency of the formation process.

Purpose: SIT(Systematic Inventive Thinking) has been widely used in recent years. The validity of the five thinking tools of SIT is examined, and how to improve the inventive thinking tools is investigated. Methods: Frequency analysis on the usage of the TRIZ 40 inventive principles was used. Inventive thinking tools are derived by eliminating principles with low frequencies and grouping similar principles together. Results: Segmentation, prior action, combining, extraction, cushion in advance, transformation of properties are most frequently used among the 40 principles of TRIZ. The most frequently used principles and similar principles with them are grouped into new inventive thinking tools. Two of them, division and attribute dependency, belong to the 5 thinking tools of SIT, and the others, proactive measures, combination and reversal, do not. Conclusion: The newly identified inventive thinking tools are division, combination, proactive measures, attribute dependency, and reversal. The new five inventive thinking tools are quite efficient since they can cover more than two thirds of the TRIZ 40 inventive principles.

Creative problem solving has become an important issue in many fields. Among problems, dilemma need creative solutions. New creative and innovative problem solving strategies are required to handle the contradiction relations of the dilemma problems because most creative and innovative cases solved contradictions inherent in the dilemmas. Among various kinds of problem solving theories, TRIZ provides the concept of physical contradiction as a common problem solving principle in inventions and patents. In TRIZ, 4 separation principles solve the physical contradictions of given problems. The 4 separation principles are separation in time, separation in space, separation within a whole and its parts, and separation upon conditions. Despite this attention, an accurate definitions of the separation principles of TRIZ is missing from the literature. Thus, there have been several different interpretations about the separation principles of TRIZ. The different interpretations make problems more ambiguous to solve when the problem solvers apply the 4 separation principles. This research aims to fill the gap in several ways. First, this paper classify the types of contradiction relations and the contradiction solving dimensions based on the Butterfly model for contradiction solving. Second, this paper compares and analyzes each contradiction relation type with the Butterfly diagram. The contributions of this paper lies in reducing the problem space by recognizing the structures and the types of contradiction problems exactly.

Axiomatic Design has been developed as a general design framework during past two decades and TRIZ has been developed for a design tool over 50 years. Axiomatic design is quite excellent in that design should be decoupled. When a design matrix is established, the characteristics of the design are identified according to the coupling properties. If the design is coupled, a decoupling process should be found. However, axiomatic design does not specifically indicate how to decouple a coupled design. In this research, the coupling manner is classified into six patterns. Each pattern could be solved by an appropriate TRIZ module. A table, which matches the coupling pattern and a TRIZ module, is proposed for effective application of the two design theories. The decoupling ideas are proposed by using TRIZ modules. When the number of decoupled designs is more than one, the engineer should select the final idea. The proposed method is applied to practical cases such as a tape feeder and a beam adjuster of the laser marker.

This study includes contents on an effective designing of the outer-wall piece removing equipment of a hull, by applying TRIZ. To remove the piece, gas torch was used. However, the heat source must be shut down since the heat source of gas torch has a bad influence on this system. This is why TRIZ and Brainstorming were used, to solve this problem. First, we analyzed the system using TRIZ, and then presented the direction a solution is expected to follow. And the most suitable scheme was derived from brainstorming which had been conducted based on the direction of a solution. Lastly we conducted an equipment modeling based on the most suitable scheme we made before, and carried out the heat analysis to inspect its effect by comparing pre-existing mechanism with most suited scheme.
