Abstract
When women have limited upper limb function, it is difficult for women to wear bras independently, and they need the help of assistive devices, but the number of related products is currently small. Some people discovered the “life tips” of wearing a bra with one hand and shared them on the Internet. This research refers to “life tips” as “users’ technical knowledge”. Its use is limited. However, there is currently a lack of design theory research to expand its versatility. Therefore, this research takes user technical knowledge as the main research object, analyzes and identifies user technical knowledge through typical examples, and establishes the process of transforming user technical knowledge into designer technical knowledge. Construct a design method from “usable” to “easy to use”, and verify it with the design of bra accessories. This method can help designers systematically transform users’ technical knowledge and improve the convenience of users’ lives.
