摘要

儘管目前TRIZ創新設計方法非常受到設計工程師關注，但從沒任何理論方法能宣稱是完美無瑕沒有缺點的，TRIZ方法也不例外。設計者要如何正確的找出工程技術問題的矛盾參數，進而使用矛盾矩陣表來解決創新問題？很少看到有人使用物質-場方法來解決創新問題，其適用時機為何？較有經驗的使用者，可能會發現矛盾矩陣表中有一些空的矩陣元素，即沒有任何建議之法則。
本文即針對以上在使用TRIZ方法時常會遇到的一些困惑，提出可行之改良方法與建議。另外在針對使用者遇到空矩陣元素時沒有建議法則的情況，提出方法來提供設計工程師當創新設計輔助工具，並輔以四個摘自美國專利局之專利當實際範例來介紹此方法，最後再比較其他文獻的結果來證明其可行性。相信在使用TRIZ方法時，若能搭配本文提出的建議與方法，定能讓使用者在使用TRIZ方法時更有效率。

Abstract

The TRIZ theory has been the most powerful innovative design method in solving engineering problem. However, there is no any theory can be perfect without any shortcomings, including the TRIZ theory. How can an engineer finds the contradiction parameters correctly and uses the contradiction matrix? It’s rare to see engineers use the Su-Field method to solve problem. When is the suitable time to use this Su-Field method? Some experienced engineers may discover some empty cells in the contradiction matrix without any suggested principles.
Some improved studies and suggestions are proposed in this paper to solve the above problems. A new method to solve the empty cells problem is developed. Some practical cases which are selected from the US patent databases are illustrated to introduce this method. Furthermore, this method is compared with the results presented in other references to prove it’s feasibility. In conclusion, it would be more effective to match up the methods and ideas in this paper when employing the TRIZ theory.
