Abstract: From the analysis of track lighting patents, the paper develops the concept of obtaining the normalized numerical values of functional word groups in each functional field, and then combines this concept with the modified DEMATEL-based Analytical Network Process (DANP) method and the modified Techniques for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method for application to track lighting in order to determine the priority of the functional improvement plans of different LED track lightings. Through exploration of the related literature on LED track lighting products as well as analysis of different patents, this paper has sorted out three product functional improvement plans for LED track lighting products.
Then the paper divides the criteria for product functions into seven functional areas. This paper substitutes the Wpij of WP and WCD obtained by using the modified DANP method into the related equations of the modified TOPSIS method, and uses the modified TOPSIS method to calculate the priority of various functional improvement plans so as to select the most prioritized functional improvement plan.
