User experience plays an indispensable role in intelligent product design. Building a system for user research, capturing firsthand information from users and turning insights into achievable product design solutions is the key to innovation. This article introduces service design into product design and studies the design cue construction method through intelligent product design case. First, the authors capture customer touchpoints in the process of user interaction with the product by observing the user behavior and perform the correlation analysis of the customer touchpoint to obtain the user’s complaints and dissatisfaction. Second, the authors use positive creation theory to transform requirements and turn the complaints collected in user research into achievable functional requirements. Third, the authors use the KANO model for sensitivity analysis of functional requirements and select high-sensitivity requirements for priority development. Finally, using the service design innovation methods to analyze the user experience and stakeholders, the design cue map can be exported, and a new service system was established to enhance the overall user experience.

Engineers today have access to a myriad of tools for developing sustainable products that have minimal environmental impact. Although consumer interest in sustainability is increasing, it is still not foremost on the minds of many consumers. Engineers are thus faced with the dilemma of developing sustainable solutions for consumers who may not yet want or be able to articulate sustainability needs. We explore this issue by examining user research conducted by students in a graduate-level product design course. We present findings on how users define and describe sustainability, how sustainability needs interact with other user needs, and what tradeoffs people make and feelings people have when faced with sustainability trade-offs. We present a case study of one design team’s findings about sustainability, and how those findings affected the formulation of the team’s mission statement and product strategy. Based on these results, we propose recommendations for how to facilitate the design of innovative and sustainable consumer products.
