BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a designing a backpack and particularly to a system for designing a multi-compartment backpack.
Description of Related Art
[002] In today’s dynamic and fast-paced lifestyle, there is an increasing demand for backpacks that are versatile, ergonomically designed, and tailored to meet the diverse needs of users. Students, professionals, and travelers alike seek backpacks that prioritize comfort, efficient organization, and durability. However, traditional backpacks often fall short due to their limited compartments, poor weight distribution, and lack of ergonomic support. These shortcomings frequently result in discomfort during prolonged use and make it challenging to access essential items such as electronics, books, and personal belongings.
[003] Several known brands have introduced backpacks with features such as durable materials, padded shoulder straps, and specialized compartments. While these designs address general requirements, they often lack the adaptability and compartmentalization necessary to cater to the varied and specific needs of modern users. For instance, existing designs prove to be inadequate for individuals carrying a combination of heavy books, electronic devices, and personal accessories, as they do not provide the specialized storage options or customization required for such diverse usage scenarios.
[004] Despite advancements in materials and design innovations, there remains a significant gap in the market for a highly adaptable backpack that integrates advanced organizational features, ergonomic support, and efficient weight distribution. This underscores the need for a protocol for development of a novel backpack solution that offers enhanced customization, superior comfort, and the ability to address the varied needs of contemporary users while maintaining durability and aesthetic appeal
[005] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced system for designing a multi-compartment backpack that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.

[0039] The data development module 204 may be activated upon receipt of the set of variables from the data receiving module 200. In an embodiment of the present invention, the data development module 204 may be configured to develop a morphology matrix by using the established set of variables.
[0040] The morphology matrix may comprise rows and columns. The rows in the morphology matrix may correspond to design requirements of the backpack. The design requirements of the backpack may be, but not limited to, a storage, a flexibility, a durability, and so forth.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the data development module 204 may be configured to design backpack based on the design solutions of the morphology matrix by selecting a set of the rows. Moreover, after the generation of the backpack designs, the data development module 204 may be configured to determine scores for each of the generated backpack designs using a Pugh's matrix.
[0043] The Pugh's matrix may determine scores for each of the generated backpack designs by equating the each of the generated backpack designs with a baseline design. The Pugh's matrix may equate the set of variables for each of the generated backpack designs with a known set of variables for the baseline design to determine scores for each of the generated backpack designs. In an exemplary scenario, to attain a high score by the Pugh's matrix, the generated backpack designs may feature provisions that may be totally absent from the baseline design.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the data comparison module 206 may be configured to compare the determined scores for each of the generated backpack designs with a baseline score stored in a memory (not shown) for the baseline design.
[0046] Upon comparison, if the determined scores may be less than that of the baseline score, then the data comparison module 206 may be configured to segregate the corresponding generated backpack designs in a worse design category. Further, if the determined scores are greater than that of the baseline score, then the data comparison module 206 may be configured to segregate the corresponding generated backpack designs in a better design category. Furthermore, if the determined scores may be equal to that of the baseline score, then the data comparison module 206 may be configured to segregate the corresponding generated backpack designs in the same design category.
[0047] After categorization of the generated backpack designs in the better, same, and worse design categories, the data comparison module 206 may transmit a selection signal to the selection module 208.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the selection module 208 may be activated upon receipt of the selection signal from the data comparison module 206. In an embodiment of the present invention, the selection module 208 may be configured to enable the user to make a selection from the categorized backpack designs. The categorized backpack designs may further be displayed on the output unit 106.
[0049] FIG. 3 depicts a flowchart of a method 300 for designing the backpack using the system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0050] At step 302, the system 100 may enable the input of the set of variables using the input unit 102.
[0051] At step 304, the system 100 may develop the morphology matrix using the established set of variables.
[0052] At step 306, the system 100 may generate designs for the backpack based on the design solutions of the morphology matrix.
[0053] At step 308, the system 100 may determine the scores for each of the generated backpack designs using the Pugh's matrix.
[0054] At step 310, the system 100 may compare the determined score with the baseline score. Upon comparison, if the determined score may be less than the baseline score, then the method 300 may proceed to a step 312. Else, the method 300 may proceed to a step 314.
[0055] At step 312, the system 100 may categorize the generated backpack designs as the worse designs.
[0056] At step 314, the system 100 may compare the determined score with the baseline score. Upon comparison, if the determined score is equal than the baseline score, then the method 300 may proceed to a step 316. Else, the method 300 may proceed to a step 318.
[0057] At step 316, the system 100 may categorize the generated backpack designs as the same designs.
[0058] At step 318, the system 100 may compare the determined score with the baseline score. Upon comparison, if the determined score is greater than the baseline score, then the method 300 may proceed to a step 320.
[0059] At step 320, the system 100 may categorize the generated backpack designs as the better designs.
[0060] At step 322, the system 100 may enable the user to make the selection from the categorized backpack designs for producing the backpack.
