Abstract :
Functional integration is an effective approach to product innovation. The laws of needs evolution proposed by Petrov are introduced. The future needs of a product are forecasted by using the laws of needs evolution. Customer needs can be satisfied by functional integration. Three functional integration modes are proposed, and contradiction in functional integration is discussed, which can be solve by TRIZ. A process model of function-oriented product integrated innovation is put forward. A case study of heat meter illustrates the innovation process.
