Quality Criteria Acquisition Support System of Product by Explaining It with Components

Abstract

In creative activity, creators evaluate products whether they satisfy the criteria. Some criteria such as criteria of novelty are implicit and intuitive, so that it is difficult for novice creators to understand them. Since some criteria can be regarded as the existence of particular components, we can define the implicit criteria as the existence of components that the target product has. We propose a method for understanding implicit criteria by explaining it using existing components of the target product and construct system that supports proposed activity. Based on the evaluation experiment, it is found that proposed system can support enough explanation of criteria.
