What is and how to use the Interactive Matrix?
TRIZ is a theory
that considers engineering problems and suggested
solutions based on their structure. TRIZ states that:
Technical systems evolve towards the increase
of ideality by OVERCOMING CONTRADICTIONS, mostly
with minimal introduction of resources.
Most of the innovations are transpositions
of KNOWN
SOLUTIONS in other fields.
TRIZ is based on the analysis
of millions of patents and states that an old
solution can be used to solve a new problem.
Therefore, patent databases are an excellent
place to dig for solutions, when you know what
you look for and where to search.
Feel free to use the database
(left menu) to browse relevant patents by entering
keywords describing your situation or the ideal
solution.
Our interactive TRIZ matrix
(right) is an alternative way to look for solutions
and combining the two tools is a must.

Selecting the
improving feature:
This is what you want to improve to solve your
problem but may cause another problem.
For example, if you want a
LONGER object, it's usually getting HEAVIER.
Then, length is the improving feature
but generates a worsening factor (weight). In
the TRIZ Matrix select:
"4: Length of stationary (object)"
as "improving feature".
Getting a longer and lighter object is a contradiction.
Solving this contradiction may solve your problem.
The TRIZ matrix will propose ways to solve this
contradiction.
Selecting the worsening
feature:
This is what is usually going wrong when you
try to solve your problem.
For example, if you want a
LONGER object, it's usually getting HEAVIER.
Then, select :
"2: Weight of stationary (object)"
as worsering feature.
Getting a longer and lighter object is a contradiction.
Solving this contradiction may solve your problem.
The TRIZ matrix will propose ways to solve this
contradiction.
The TRIZ Matrix is a database of KNOWN SOLUTIONS
(principles) able to OVERCOME CONTRADICTIONS.
I.e, You need a static object to be longer without
becoming heavier. This is a contradiction. The improving
feature is ' #4, length of stationary object ' and
the worsening factor is ' #2, weight of stationary
object '. Use the matrix to discover possible ways
of solutions, the PRINCIPLES.
