When developing new products, we always unconsciously want to add new features or functions to the products. As a result, the product becomes more and more complicated to use, and this redundant action is a burden to the product. We need to use simplified mode, mainly to remove redundant attributes from the product, and then add new functions, such as changing the mobile phone from keyboard button mode to virtual buttons on the touch screen, which can make the mobile phone more concise and beautiful.

Second, decomposition model.

Expand the existing products step by step, and observe them from different angles to see a comprehensive whole. The change of angle will give us insight into the emergence of new products. For example, after the screwdriver in our life is disassembled as a whole, you will find that different screwdriver heads can use the same blade and handle and can be transformed into multifunctional screwdrivers.

Third, the expansion model.

Copying is not to remove the parts of a product, but to make additional copies of the existing parts of the product, thus making important changes to these copies, which will lead to a certain qualitative change when it reaches a certain number. For example, the garbage can in our daily life is copied from a single-slot garbage can to a conjoined garbage can, which allows users to distinguish and classify garbage.

Fourth, change the attribute dependency.

There is a close relationship between product attributes and environmental attributes. In different characteristics of a single product, we can also create dependencies. The relationship of attribute dependency pattern can create convenient products, and new dependencies can be created through places where there are no dependencies. For example, we can make monochrome lenses into color-changing lenses, but people don't have to buy a pair of sunglasses because the sun is too big when they go out.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) task integration model

Adding a new task to the existing elements or environment of a product and unifying two different functions on one component can make product innovation achieve remarkable results. For example, the computer monitor and the host are combined into one to form an all-in-one machine.
