A case study on product collaborative conceptual design technology based on user implicit knowledge

From user knowledge in industrial design, the user implicit knowledge obtaining, representing, and transforming process were studied, the mapping of user image and design knowledge, and the product representation with feature gene, feature and style were discussed. The user implicit knowledge obtaining, representing and application model, design knowledge representing model the integrated model of user knowledge and design knowledge were explored, then a product conceptual design theory based on integrated knowledge was put forward and tested by a mobile phone design system, which support user and designer designing product on the same platform and provide a coincident knowledge system for further collaborative design and cyber-design.
