Design evaluation method, equipment thereof, and goods design method
First Claim
1. A design evaluation method, comprising the steps of:
- outputting an image, where design of an evaluated object is expressed, by predetermined image output means;
measuring brain waves of an arbitrary test subject while showing this image to the test subject;
comparing a pattern of a local distribution condition of a brain wave electric potential on the test subject'"'"'s scalp with plural kinds of reference patterns set beforehand; and
evaluating the design of the evaluated object by judging which of the plural kinds of reference patterns is similar to the pattern of the brain wave electric potential measured.

Abstract
The present inventions relates to a design evaluation method, equipment thereof, and a goods design method that make it possible to obtain a highly reliable evaluation of a design quality of an evaluated object. Thus, in the present invention, the design of an evaluated object is evaluated on the basis of a brain wave reaction by outputting an image, which expresses the design of the evaluated object, by image output means, and measuring brain waves of an arbitrary test subject by showing this image to the test subject. Hence, it is possible to obtain a highly reliable evaluation result without any subjective judgment based on the knowledge and experience of the test subject.

8. A goods design method for deciding design of goods before shifting to a design and manufacturing phase of the goods, comprising the steps of:
-
visualizing concrete design, which is to be evaluated on design quality, in an output-enabled condition by predetermined image outputter;
outputting this image by the image outputter and measuring brain waves of an arbitrary test subject while showing the image to the arbitrary test subject; and
comparing a pattern of a local distribution condition of a brain wave electric potential on a test subject'"'"'s scalp with plural kinds of reference patterns set beforehand; and
evaluating the design quality by judging which of the reference patterns is similar to the pattern of the brain wave electric potential measured, wherein each of the steps is performed at least once on the basis of the evaluation result of the design. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
