Abstract
The present paper proposes a set of steps to search for data and generate relevant information to come up with solution ideas for a given problem or product improvement. Among others, the terms data and information are defined and an overview of the current state-of-the-art, which contains the TRIZ tool Function-Oriented Search and the description of possible search engines, is given. For getting relevant search results and generating information a workflow is suggested. This workflow is based on pictorial analogy to a sketched problem situation and the use of standard internet browsers with image search functionality. The task of improving the design of a tea press illustrates the workflow and its steps. The obtained solution ideas show the feasibility of the proposed workflow and lead to the conclusion that even the single use of pictorial analogy yields useful results.
