Abstract:
"Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ)" has
been developed and systematized since 1946 in ex-USSR and has become known to
the western countries after the end of the Cold War as a new methodology for
technological innovation. It is based on the philosophy: "Improvements,
innovations, and evolutions of technologies share some common aspects across
their fields and their eras. Thus, by extracting such shared essences out of a
large number of excellent cases, and by making them easy to retrieve after
classification, we may reuse them for facilitating new development of
technologies. Especially, excellent cases of technology innovation can be
understood in a number of patterns of breaking through the contradictions in
the problem; such patterns provide us hints for our own creative
innovation."
