Innovation of meaning: design-driven study based on the interpretive theory of new meaning

This study conducts design-driven meaning innovation research based on an interpretation of new meaning through qualitative and quantitative research rooted in design practice and builds design-driven theories, methodology, and highly replicable methods. It presents a new design approach to design thinking called ‘design methodology and method of meaningful products’. The design process and framework integrate words, visuals, and functions to interpret and create new meanings. It highlights the importance of design semiotics in overcoming the limitations of traditional approaches.
