Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Jun. 20, 2015)

This is the USIT Case Study No. 1 documented in the "Collection of USIT Case Studies" . UIST is a concise, consistent, and general process for practicing the General Methodology of Creative Problem Solving (CrePS). The process is explained in detail in the USIT Manual , and it uses the 'Six-Box Scheme'.

The present HTML page shows first 3 introductory slides of the case study and the last overview slide summarizing the case in the 'Six-Box Scheme'. The whole set of slides are posted in the PDF file .

This Case Study is originally based on Tsubasa Shimoda's Thesis at Osaka Gakuin University (2006) and revised further by Nakagawa . For a familiar, everyday-life problem, the USIT thinking process from the problem definition to the solution construction is explained well. Even children can understand how to think for this problem. This is my favorite case study in teaching USIT, and placed at the top of the Collection of USIT Case Studies.
