Analyzing CHEESE program in open innovation
Concept in Open innovation | - Open innovation-based CHEESE program has a goal of development design in product, service, and system through ideation, visualization, prototype manufacturing, evaluation, and commercialization. |
Features in Open innovation | - Process that aims for design and technology convergence. - Progress based on process participants’ curiosity, open mind, and volition. - Learn some necessary requisites for capability, such as attitude, skills, and knowledge - Internal/External supporting in open innovation |
Implications from Open innovation | - Includes applying for patent/intellectual property rights and registration process in early stage of process. - Considers commercialization with practical results such as awards and applying for patents and foundation. - Short-term compensation in connection with internal and external support programs for results at each stage |
Steps of CHEESE Program | Activities | Necessary requisites for convergence exchange based on Oganisjana (2015) | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Inspiration & Motivation | Getting inspiration and obtaining motivation through acquiring overall knowledge and information. (Research of life style, trends, users, technology) | Knowledge, other views on life, inspiration & motivation |
2 | Experience | Find the needs and gain specific cognition through direct experience. (Field trip, town watching, seminars, workshops) | Experience, intergenerational awareness |
3 | Ideation & Visualization | Define discovered problem and needs, and actualize the concept and visualize it by coming up with new ideas. (Sketching, modeling, rendering, presentations) | Problem solving, new ideas, creativity |
4 | Prototyping | Prototype to actualize defined ideas (3D Printing, mock-up, simulation) | Creation |
5 | Evaluation | Get evaluation and advice, whether it agrees with the intention of the idea, through various evaluations such as utility of manufactured prototype, satisfaction level, purchase intention, and capacity. (Test of usability/emotion/satisfaction, exhibition) | Advice, critical thinking, support |
6 | Commercialization | Commercialize verified ideas by linking with externals based on marketability (Technology licensing, business linkage, foundation) | New opportunities |
Classification | Business | Inspiration & Motivation | Experience | Ideation & Visualization | Prototyping | Evaluation | Commercialization |

Case 1: student A
Outline

Product name: Cleanse (Clens)
-
Product description: “Clens” is a new concept of a disposable contact lens case that solves sanitation problems, including bacterial infections caused by unavoidable external touch such as lens tweezers and fingers. Clens is an item that uses the structure of small cymbals. When users push the bottom side to upwards, the feature stretches while embracing the finger, which enables users to wear the lens without the need for lens tweezers or touching the lens with fingers. As a result, users feel less bothered because there is no external touch and concerns of bacterial infection decreases. This product is ideal for those who highly regard sanitation and eyeball health.

Product name: The changing face tissue case
-
Product description: This cute shape tissue case not only acts as a case, but is also aware whenever the tissue pops up by utilizing Arduino and PIR sensors (Passive Infrared Sensor). The shape of the tissue case’s eyes, which was designed with LED, changes according to the frequency of tissues popping up. This case intends to make users pay attention to the environment by inducing users to economize tissues.
