Design Evaluation Method for Universal Product Development

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traditional design process has laid an emphasis on developing function-based products in the assumption that consumers only care for the functional value of products. However, the importance of the aesthetics and usability of products in the aging society demands the human-centered product development process that the human factors should be integrated in developing products. This research proposes a design methodology for universal design product development based on patent information about ergonomic designed products. It will support the production and accumulation of reusable universal design knowledge and enable human-centric product development more economically.
