Engineering design system using human interactive evaluation

An apparatus for designing a device, the apparatus comprising:

• means for generating a plurality of designs;
• means for displaying one or more of the plurality of designs on a display device;
• means for accepting a signal from a user input device to define evaluation information from evaluation of the displayed one or more of the plurality of designs;
• and
• means for using the evaluation information to generate a plurality of design parameters for generating a subsequent plurality of designs.

A device fabricated by performing the following steps:

• generating a plurality of designs;
• displaying one or more of the plurality of designs on a display device;
• accepting a signal from a user input device to define evaluation information from evaluation of the displayed one or more of the plurality of designs;
• using the evaluation information to generate a plurality of design parameters for generating a subsequent plurality of designs;
• selecting a design;
• and
• using the selected design to fabricate a device.

An apparatus for designing a device, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a machine readable medium including instructions executable by the processor for
• generating a plurality of designs;
• displaying one or more of the plurality of designs on a display device;
• accepting a signal from a user input device to define evaluation information from evaluation of the displayed one or more of the plurality of designs;
• and
• using the evaluation information to generate a plurality of design parameters for generating a subsequent plurality of designs.

A machine readable medium including instructions executable by a processor for designing a device, the machine-readable medium comprising:

• one or more instructions for generating a plurality of designs;
• one or more instructions for displaying one or more of the plurality of designs on a display device;
• one or more instructions for accepting a signal from a user input device to define evaluation information from evaluation of the displayed one or more of the plurality of designs;
• and
• one or more instructions for using the evaluation information to generate a plurality of design parameters for generating a subsequent plurality of designs.
