Methods of inventive creativity

Methods of inventive creativity - methods of searching for new scientific and other ideas, as well as technical and other solutions.

Types of creative methods

• Intuitive methods. They use not formalized rules, but, bypassing the logical stage, directly human intuition, based on experience and not formalized knowledge. The solution of the problem comes as a result of a sudden "insight". Successful application depends on knowledge and experience.
• Heuristic methods . The most common methods of inventive creativity. In the conditions of incompleteness and vagueness of the initial information, the methods and rules of scientific and engineering research are used, which are adapted to the initial uncertain conditions and are not a clear program.
• Algorithmic methods. They are based on logical processing using computer programs of completely specified initial information in the form of knowledge bases containing information about patents, scientific and technical effects, and basic techniques for eliminating scientific and technical contradictions.
