Research on the Design Principles for Intelligent Products

With the rapid development of technology, more and more intelligent products have emerged. They perceive the external environment and internal state, automatically analyze and make decisions based on real-time data to provide people with a more convenient way of life. Compared with traditional products, the main difference is that intelligent products can be combined with technology such as the Internet and artificial intelligence to form a software and hardware service system not just hardware functions or virtual network space. Intelligent products have become one of the focus issues discussed at present. This research explains the definition and classification of intelligent products and discusses their current status and trends from the technical, commercial and user perspectives through quantitative text analysis and literature review. Then expound the current status and trends of intelligence products from the perspective of design. Based on the work above, this research identifies the design principles for intelligent products, which academics can do further investigate on this topic and practitioners may find something helpful in the process of design work. It is foreseeable that the wave of intelligent products is no longer limited to the deepening, generalization or internalization of the mobile Internet, but the terminal form of the service output and information perception in the age of artificial intelligence.
