Manufacturing and service sectors are evolving towards achieving a design of a systemically integrated product-service system (PSS). While there exist limitations, we propose an integrative design architecture and a design method for PSSs. For the integrated architecture, our study adopts the concepts of functions and affordances as fundamentals of PSS designs to achieve both the product and life-cycle...
This research covers the product design process that involved study on concept or theme that lead to final production process. In this study, modern and contemporary teapot design was conceptualized by fusioning the Malay iconic heritage elements of traditional Labu Sayong (gourd-shaped water vessel). The fused design finally leads to a teapot without handle and a surprise feature of leather material...
Man-machine relationship is either a very important research object or a principle in product design. This paper proposes the design concepts and methods based on the product form and man-machine relationship analysis. Man-machine functional forming method is a method that makes user research as context, man-machine relationship as research object, product modeling as design media. With this method,...
Product is a physical system comprising interacting components that performs a set of functions. The product design is a process from abstract to concrete. In product conceptual design phase, function is one of the most important factors. Function-based modelling makes design problem modular and structured. It is the basis of the following detail design in product lifecycle design process. In this...
With the goal of achieving the behavior semantic model of product, this paper analyzes the method of describing functional expression, as well as the behavior semantic. Based on these and the reasonable disassembly of function, along with geometrical character, a new describing scheme for product is described. Combining with XML and semantic network, we get the legible and concrete way of describing...
The key principle of modern product design is ??form follows function??. Likewise, form follows function in China traditional design conception too. Through analyzing chinese ancient teaware??s change impacted by the style of drinking tea, the article accounts for how function impacts on form??s change.
Based on the analysis of NOKIA mobile phone products, the concept of mobile phone semantics is drawn from the semantics perspective in this paper. The symbol theory??s analysis method is applied, and the classification, deconstruction and reconstruction of NOKIA mobile phone semantics is accomplished, and the general phone semantics is concluded from the research result.
