Abstract Earlier studies have shown that the degree of abstract knowledge has a significant impact on the result of innovative design, which plays an important role in the process of design thinking, thereby affecting the generation of innovative design. This paper presents a design experiment that was conducted to study the effects of abstract knowledge to individual’s design thinking and the cognitive behavior. In the experiment, subjects were given different levels of abstract knowledge, respectively from three aspects of the product: Function-BehaviorStructure, and then they were asked to complete a design task. Then analyze the role of abstract knowledge’s form of cognition, and explore the mechanism of inspired design thinking further. The paper finally provides a theoretical basis for the design of innovative knowledge-oriented services.

1 Introduction Innovation is a key factor in the survival and development of enterprises, as well as the potential power in the future progress. Designer’s innovative thinking depends on the knowledge and technical support. A lot of studies have shown that abstract knowledge could help designers generate innovative thinking [1], and the study scope of the explicit knowledge content is wide. Previous studies have mainly based on proprietary knowledge assisted innovation system and biological analogies on innovation concept. Innovation design based on patent is the use of large patent knowledge, combined with the corresponding heuristic rules, and assist designers making innovative creation [2]. And for biological analogies is mainly based on the biological structure, associated with functional attributes to our Y. Zhou Q. Xue (&) J. Hao M.-x.

real-life problems, analogy biological characteristics, assisted innovation and product development [3]. These studies are trying to find an optimal mode of knowledge inspired thinking, in order to achieve quick access to design innovative concepts purposes. Both methods need to have the abstract knowledge processing, abandon the original form of restraint and evolve to the consciousness level, ultimately to think recreation. Studies show that the abstract knowledge has a significant influence on the novelty of innovative design results [4]. This paper puts forward the concept of the knowledge abstraction degree, focusing on the process that how abstract knowledge assisted a re-creation process. Studying the connotation and presence form of abstract knowledge and then decompose it according to the function-behavior-structure (FBS) method [5]. Using the cognitive experiment to explo
