SketchConcept: Sketching-based Concept Recomposition for Product Design using Generative AI

Abstract

This paper investigates concept recomposition in product design through sketch-based interaction and generative AI. The system helps users restructure and recombine design concepts starting from rough sketches, supporting more flexible and iterative idea exploration. Rather than generating a complete design in one step, the work emphasizes decomposition, recombination, and localized refinement in early-stage design workflows.
