一般而言，產品的設計流程大致遵循暸解問題=>產生概念=>尋找解答的原則。而在概念設計的階段，新構想的產生往往依靠設計者本身的創造力。但設計者之創意常變化難測，因此該過程是最不易掌握的步驟。本研究結合TRIZ方法之創新性與知識庫可保存資訊並更新的特性，利用TRIZ方法產生創新概念，並以功能分析將現有產品及創新概念轉換為系統化的基礎功能模型與功能元件模組。圖型化的資訊一方面易於以知識庫來儲存，一方面功能元件模組可與基礎功能模型進行連結組合，再經由創意設計軟體TechOptimizer進行評估，消除設計上的矛盾而產生多樣性的新設計。
　　設計過程中得到的設計經驗，已經由功能分析圖型化，易於有系統的存放，在日後對同類產品進行再設計時，即可直接由知識庫中取用所需資訊，除直接輔助設計者進行創新構想設計外，亦可達成一定程度的設計自動化。

The process of product design includes understanding the problem, generating concepts and searching solutions. Among the design process, generating design concepts depends on the creativity of designer. However, the ways that a designer used to generating new concept are always capricious and unreasonable.
The study employed the TRIZ method, an innovative design method developed by Ashuller, to generate new concepts systematically. A basic functional model for a specific product is proposed. And series of functions&components that are probably used for the definition of that product have been collected as well. Once the product requirements have been specified, new concepts desires from the design needs are transformed into a schematic functional model based on the result of functional analysis, and the use of basic functional model combining with functions&components. The primary functional model is then reorganized and evaluated by using the connection and trimming tools of TechOptimizer, following this conceptual design process and employing the stored functional models a variety of new design concepts would be generated and stored in the knowledgebase of the specific product.
When the redesign of a product is proceeded, various designs can be produced based on the on the concept design process proposed in this study. These functions of new design concept can be diagrammatically presented an stored systematically in the knowledgebase. Those functional models of the required product captures in the knowledgebase can be used for following design stage to creative various primitive layouts. Furthermore the detail drawing of a product can be produced. Therefore it is possible to achieve design automation.
