1. By understanding and mastering the evolution law of innovation and invention, we can accurately grasp and choose the direction of innovation and invention, and never choose the wrong direction of innovation, thus avoiding the huge cost or waste of innovation and invention;
2. By mastering and understanding the general laws and basic patterns that innovation activities should meet, people's thinking inertia can be effectively overcome, thus providing people with huge free thinking space for innovation activities;
3. By integrating the existing international high-level innovative invention patents, we can provide a huge knowledge base for people's innovative invention activities, thus effectively breaking through the limitations of personal knowledge;
4. The system innovation theory (TRIZ) creatively puts forward a set of structured and systematic innovation methods and procedures suitable for all kinds of innovation activities by studying the laws of most excellent innovation activities in the world, thus ending the history of innovation activities without methods and procedures to learn!
TRIZ's innovative principle of solving problems is based on the analysis results of 2.5 million invention patents and has universality. These innovative principles provide a reference direction for solving creative problems. Compared with the commonly used trial-and-error method and brainstorming method, TRIZ is easier to operate, systematize and streamline, but it relies on sudden inspiration, personal knowledge and experience to innovate.
The emergence of TRIZ has brought revolution to innovation, the most active factor in modern society. Because TRIZ is still an analytical way of thinking, mastering it will help people find innovative ways in almost everything. Although TRIZ originated in the former Soviet Union, it developed and matured in Europe and America. TRIZ not only provides a pure innovative theory and method, but also provides a way of thinking, which can help us form a systematic and easy-to-handle way of thinking about innovative design problems.
The so-called system innovation (TRIZ) refers to the comprehensive application of various advanced innovation theories and methods in accordance with scientific and effective innovation problem solutions and processes, and with the support of powerful innovation tools, it greatly stimulates individual innovation ability, helps people to quickly realize accurate and in-depth analysis of problems and obtain high-quality innovation solutions, thus greatly improving resource utilization, reducing innovation costs and shortening innovation time. Specifically, it includes initial problem description, problem function model construction, innovation direction selection, etc. In view of specific innovation problems, effective innovation methods and tools are adopted to support them, and innovative solutions are obtained timely and accurately, and finally the obtained solutions are evaluated objectively and reasonably, and at the same time, innovative achievements can be effectively accumulated and managed for the subsequent innovation process.
The basic idea of the system innovation (TRIZ) theory is to "eliminate the contradictions encountered in the process of innovation by introducing the least external resources, and make the system develop to an ideal state".
Genrich Altshuller has determined that the invention process can be emphasized by a systematic approach, which can provide the scope and direction of the best solution by collecting past innovation experience.
Genrich Altshuller also found that the essence of innovation is to constantly discover and clarify technical contradictions and physical contradictions within products and try to eliminate them, rather than adopting traditional trade-off methods.
Altschuler made a rigorous analysis of 40,000 patents that constitute the achievements of "innovation/invention", and summarized the following four basic innovation discoveries and laws in his TRIZ theory:
The first discovery and rule is that all innovations/inventions are solutions to one or several contradictions, so the essence of innovation is the process and result of constantly eliminating contradictions! This is what we are going to talk about next, that is, "innovation object or invention problem".
