Objectives: Tobacco companies from various countries are facing pressure to participate in global competition. How to improve the products’ quality is important for the tobacco companies. In this study, based on the international perspective, the scale of E-cigarette product design evaluation is established, the brand value and cultural experience are integrated into the design activities, the design quality of the product is improved, and the culture is sustainable develop. Methods: This article constructs a product design system based on culture, experience and brand value perspectives by studying outstanding design brands product characteristics, using interviews and focus groups. This system includes design content in five aspects: value, aesthetics, function, innovation, and cultural experience. It further summarizes 20 design indicators. Using the analytic hierarchy process, the weight of the 20 design indicators is scored to determine the importance of guiding the design project. Results: In order to prove the effectiveness of the design index, combined with actual cases, in the process of designing a local brand of E-cigarette products in China, combined with relevant design indexes, compared with the index differences of international brands, focusing on 20 indexes The index with high weight value has studied the advanced aspects of international brand and completed the design of new products. The new proposal of the product was re-evaluated according to the design indicators. The new proposal has been significantly improved in all aspects. Conclusion: The actual results show that the established design indicators have certain guiding value for the development of new products. These indicators can be used as reference standards for design practice, and can also be used as standards for product design evaluation. They also have a certain value of new product development in other fields.

Unique characteristic of system of system based product life cycle challenges evolves different level of systems. This means the product design system and process level system consideration are very important besides the system level issues for product and process development which are part of systems of system. These core issues include the physical elements, assembly process and its related cognitive elements of component to that particular assembly and its process at Sub system level which are fundamental of System of system in holistic perspective of new product and process design. Any system level change or variety affects the next adjacent system in the same product as a member of same family of a system of system. In this paper the aspect of Hybrid electric car battery has been explored to reduce the system of system level sociotecnical complexity in product design. In this context, the affect of changeability in the assembly system level has been explored and DFA analysis and the complexity Index of the product at physical structure, assembly process and cognitive system level been discussed to draw analogy for making an understanding of similar nature of the system in platform based product and process family development.

Product Forms

This paper presents a computer-aided conceptual design system for developing product forms. The system integrates a virtual hand, which is manipulated by the designer, with deformable models representing the product forms. Designers can use gestural input and full hand pointing in the system to discover potential new ways for product form design. In the field of industrial design, styling and ergonomics are two important factors that determine a successful product design. Traditionally, designers explore possible concepts by sketching their ideas and then using clay or foam mock-ups to test them during the early phases of product design. With our deformable modeling simulation system, we provide a useful and efficient tool for industrial designers that enable to produce product form proposals efficiently without unnecessary trial and error. Designers can input pre-scanned 3D raw data or a 3D CAD model as an initial prototype. Then, the input model is given the material’s elastic property via the construction of a volume-like mass-spring-damping system. The virtual hand in the system constantly changes gestures as the designer manipulates it with a glove-based input device. The product form will be deformed or shaped according to the amount of force exerted by the virtual hand. A mesh smoothing feature called “PN-triangle” is also used to improve the appearance of the deformed model. Finally, a physical prototype with volume and weight is generated using a rapid prototyping machine. Designers can use these mock-ups to conduct further ergonomic evaluations.

Design Process Model

The emergence of computer and network technology has provided opportunities for researchers to construct and build systems to support dynamic, real-time, and collaborative engineering design in a concurrent manner. This paper provides an understanding of the product design in a distributed environment where designers are in different geographic locations and are required to be involved in the design process to ensure successful product design. A design process model that captures the major interactions among stakeholders is presented, based on the observation of cooperation and collaboration. The stakeholders’ interactions are divided into activity and system level to distinguish the interactions in group design activities and design perspective evolution. An initial computer implementation of the design model is presented. The design system consists of a set of tools associated with design and a management system to facilitate distributed designers to support various design activities, especially conceptual design. Our research emphasis of design collaboration in this paper is: (i) Model a Cooperative-collaborative design process; (ii) Support synchronized design activities; and (iii) Structure the complex relations of various design perspectives from engineering disciplines.

Form Generation

Generative design system is a complex system that often focus on the technical and complex details thus away from building a system from the product designer’s thinking patterns. In addition, by focusing on the mechanism, the system is hard to construct and difficult to use for practical situation. Horizontal/vertical design thinking patterns are often used in product design practice, thus how designers make decision affect the generation reasoning. With the cognitive design researches on design thinking patterns, two research stages (experiment and implementation) are conducted and policy/generation rules are discovered during the experiment with 30 5-year design experts as focus group. An experimental system called thinking pattern-based generation system, a.l.a. ThinkGen is developed for testing the hypothesis.
