The document discusses using TRIZ, the theory of inventive problem solving, to systematically innovate user interfaces. It presents a framework that identifies contradictions in interface architecture aspects and maps them to TRIZ principles. This can help resolve the contradictions and suggest improvements. The case study on search engines shows applying this by identifying example contradictions like between interface richness and clarity, and mapping them to TRIZ solutions. The framework aims to facilitate systematic innovation of user interfaces.

innovation to be competitive. That driving need makes design thinking

23. Creativity requires whole-brain thinking; right-brain
imagination, artistry and intuition, plus left-brain
logic and planning.
A study published in the peer reviewed Creativity Research Journal in 2005 by J. Meneely and M. Portillo agreed that
creativity is not localized into a particular thinking style, such as a right-brain dominance resulting in more creativity. They
did however find correlation between creativity in design students based on how flexible they were using all four thinking
styles equally as measured by the HBDI.

24. The philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce introduced abduction into
modern logic. 'The processes by which we form hunches about the
world are, in Peirce's conception, dependent on perceptual judgments,
which contain general elements such that universal propositions may
be deduced from them.
Neither analysis nor intuition alone is enough. Rather than forcing
a binary choice, the burden is to reconcile the two modes of
thought. Aspects of both are necessary but not sufficient for
optimal business performance. The most successful businesses in
the years to come will balance analytical mastery and intuitive
originality in a dynamic interplay that I call design thinking

30. Methodology
? Identify the various contradictions in the aspects of the search
domain interface architecture
? Map the search domain vocabulary to the vocabulary of TRIZ
implicitly. For example an object could be a visual element, a
segment a part of the screen-space, a means could be a search
modality or interaction behavior and an ends could be a
successful result.
? For these various contradictions, formulate the question and
look at the potential solutions in the TRIZ matrix. Identify
the architectural layer (view, controller or model) that is
primarily changed by this resolution.
? Document known empirical solutions as a guide and provide
suggestions for the domain
