Abstract: 
Through the competition, the TRIZ theory has been greatly promoted in Chinese universities.
First, we established two student alliances, namely student TRIZ fans alliance of Heilongjiang University and Chinese university student TRIZ lover’s alliance. Second, 20 TRIZ associations have been established for college students. By establishing TRIZ associations of students’ innovation methods in universities, college students have been attracted to participate in innovation, their innovative thinking and innovation ability have also been established in this process. Third, Heilongjiang province took the national lead in setting up the TRIZ hobbyist salon activity. During weekends, college students, university teachers, enterprise personnel and TRIZ lovers gathered to discuss TRIZ together, they share their experience in TRIZ learning and the contents about university students’ innovative entrepreneurship, patent mining, and layout, and enterprise management mode are welcomed by TRIZ lovers. So far, 41 TRIZ fan salons had been established. Fourth, 20 colleges and universities in the province have set more than 18 hours of innovative methods courses. At the same time, TRIZ has also been widely spread among high schools as well as middle school. Fifth, the generation and transformation of college students' innovation results have been encouraged to create some innovative enterprises in science and technology. This act may improve the communication and interaction of innovative domestic talents, stimulate the enthusiasm of college students to innovate and start businesses and create a new environment for innovation and entrepreneurship.

Abstract: 
It is generally accepted that personal and property security serves as the priority of all citizens and cornerstone of national security and stability, and wasting time and energy looking for keys every time before going out has greatly affected our efficiency. In this regard, we designed a multi-functional keychain featuring on positioning to save people from such troubles and improve their efficiency. As one of the wireless signal digital equipment, the product is composed of a control unit chip, infrared ray and USB interface. The product is designed in the form of intelligent charging, one-button start-up of mobile phone APP, low power consumption and smooth operation. Combining with the S-shaped evolution curve, causality analysis, morphological analysis, and IFR in TRIZ theory, the two improvement directions of the system are obtained. The system is accomplished by using the completeness rule, function analysis, object field analysis, nine-screen diagram, physical contradiction, 76 standard solutions, and other tools. A series of schemes have been put forward. Finally, we evaluate these schemes and analyze their functional value to get the final scheme. Finally, we evaluate these schemes and analyze their functional value to get the final scheme. It realizes the combination of smart chip and mobile phone APP operation, single-machine locating button line locating mode, keys vibrating and luminous and sound alarm, and banknote checking, lighting, storage, and alarm functions as well as an integrated positioning system.

5. Blockchain – applications with TRIZ innovations

Abstract: 
Abstract: By the combination of mechanics curriculum knowledge and innovative methods, students' ability to analyze and solve problems can be improved. What should we do in the teaching course? In this paper, three examples in the mechanic's course are presented. From the introduction of the concept of speed, the establishment of the mathematical model of spring oscillator, and the idealization of particle and rigid body, the importance of the method is highlighted compared with traditional teaching mode.

Using TRIZ to Solve Problems in Detection and Maintenance of Offshore Oil Exploitation Structure

Abstract:

With the increasing demand for oil by human beings, the exploitation of oil in the world has shifted to the deep sea instead of just on land and coast. With the increase of service time, the structure of offshore oil exploitation will be damaged to varying degrees due to natural or man-made accidents. The existence of these damage defects seriously threatens the safety and reliability of offshore engineering structures. To ensure the integrity and reliability of marine engineering structures, ensure the safety of personnel and property, and prevent marine environmental pollution, regular and irregular inspection, evaluation and maintenance of marine engineering structures must be carried out. Underwater ultrasonic testing (UWUT) is a new detection method. The principle of ultrasonic testing is that in general homogeneous materials, the existence of defects will cause discontinuity of materials, which often results in inconsistency of acoustic impedance. According to the reflection theorem, ultrasound will reflect at the interface of two kinds of media with different acoustic impedance. The reflected energy is related to the difference of acoustic impedance between the two sides of the interface and the orientation and size of the interface. The pulse reflection type ultrasonic flaw detector is designed according to this principle. Ultrasound detectors need to meet the use conditions of the marine environment, including waterproofing, pressure and seawater, the impact of marine organisms on ultrasound and so on. At present, the standard method is that the diver carries the flaw detector into the underwater for detection, so the diver must have the non-destructive flaw detection skills. At the same time, due to the pressure requirement of the flaw detector, there is a centimeter distance between the polypropylene window of the main display and the display screen. Underwater vision will lead to divers'errors in judging wave height and defects. There are also many pseudo-defect reflections in complex joint detection, which make it difficult for divers to grasp. In this paper, TRIZ is used to solve the problems in structural inspection and maintenance of offshore oil exploitation.

Reform and Practice on Innovation Course of Applied Orientation Universities

Abstract: In recent years, to meet the new requirements of economic and social development, innovation courses are playing an important role. Thus, building an innovation curriculum

system for the applied–orientation student is desired. As a thinking tool to inspire students' innovation, TRIZ, created by Altshuller, has been widely applied in the field of innovative education. It includes innovative methodological curriculum planning, curriculum content setting, teaching form, in-class teaching, and extracurricular exercises. Recently results show that the course can improve the teaching effect of innovative methodological courses, enhance students' sense of innovation, improve graduates' innovative ability, and shorten application time to be engineering, who can fit for the new trend of economic and social development. Meanwhile， it also provides useful suggestions for the construction and promotion of innovative methodological courses in other universities.

Title: 
Outdoor Rescue Product Design Based on TRIZ

Abstract: 
With the rapid development of modern material life, the basic physiological needs are no longer the pursuit of people's pursuit, more people pursue a deeper level of security needs and spiritual needs. In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to safety and health issues. Among them, the most involved are health care and post-disaster relief. As people's ideology changes, outdoor activities are becoming more and more abundant. How to ensure people's safety when they are in danger outdoors becomes an important research topic. Based on the TRIZ theory, this paper uses the object field analysis method to identify the core problem quickly. Through the 40 invention principles of TRIZ theory, we study the rescue products that are the main disasters in the outdoor activities and finally, develop an outdoor encounter. Beast, drowning, companion lost, injured, lack of water and food, etc., through anesthesia needle injection, inflatable airbags, signal bombs, positioning, remote control, emergency kits, water collectors, firearms, etc. to improve their own and others' survival chances Multi-functional rescue products.

Abstract:

Any challenge that requires an innovative solution is usually associated with a cluster of entwined problems, some obvious and others hidden. Solving a wrong problem drains the company of time, money, saps people’s energy, and often results in missed market opportunities. This tutorial will acquaint you with major tools of modern TRIZ used for rigorous identification and formulation of the most promising problems worth solving.
