Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Mar. 3, 2015)

This paper was presented last September at 10th Japan TRIZ Symposium.  In my Personal Report of the Symposium , I have introduced this paper as follows:

According to the abstract of this presentation, the IP Creation Study Group of JTS, which completed an IP-related multiple-year project last year, discussed freely about what they should work on next and what are the concerned themes for the members, and decided the topic here as their new study project.

Discussing the purposes of their project, they decided 'The aged and their relevant people live a happy life' as the top purpose (or vision) and 'The aged people solve the problems of their own and others' as the target (or goal).   In more concrete words, they recognize the problem 'The researchers and engineers around their retirement age want to live a life with some good motivation' and wish to have solutions towards 'For achieving their own visions, the aged people solve their own problems as well as others' problems'. 

The Study Group wants to propose such new life styles for the aged, to discuss and organize various concepts for achieving them, and to propose some activities for arranging the environments.

-- This is an important topic for many aged engineers, including many TRIZ practitioners, and for the whole society in Japan.  We hope this approach and their activities fruitful. 

By the way, when we think of their activities, this presentation should better have the title interchanged with its subtitle.

Abstract

We will propose a method for discovering a new problem based on a vague awareness of an issue by describing the circumstances determining "Proposal for a New Life Style of the Elderly People" as a multi-year research subject to tackle. 

Specifically, we have (1) clarified the cause for the problem of the object system by "SWOT Analysis," (2) examined the measures in four scenes by "Cross SWOT Analysis" and (3) determined the "ideal situation" as the vision of the research subject and the target of focus by "Purpose Deployment." 
As a result, we have determined "Elderly people and the persons concerned lead a fortunate life" as a vision, "Elderly people solve their problems and other's problems" as the target, and clarified to start with "Elderly people re-acknowledge their favorite things to do and what they are good at" to realize the target.

Furthermore, we will propose a valuation basis "local ideality," which combines the elegance of the engineering field and the ideality of TRIZ so that a value evaluation of the problem solving result by the elderly person himself/herself, who is the problem-solver, can be performed, and a concrete evaluation example will be reported.
