Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the conceptualization development of design teams using the design supporting tool "IDEATOR." Five design teams were invited to complete a design task, and their conceptual development characteristics and association modes were explored. The results revealed that the occurrence frequencies of the behaviors "retrieving information," "adding a new branch idea," and "discussing the design problem" were higher in the design teams compared to other behaviors. This suggests that the mind-mapping idea developing and image searching functions of IDEATOR were effective in triggering their ideation. Additionally, the teams with higher frequencies of behavioral mode alteration periods exhibited more lateral thinking development types in their idea sketches.

Design teams’ behaviors and idea development in using “IDEATOR”
The purpose of this study was to analyze the conceptualization development of design teams using the design supporting tool "IDEATOR." Five design teams were invited to complete a design task, and their conceptual development characteristics and association modes were explored. The results revealed that the occurrence frequencies of the behaviors "retrieving information," "adding a new branch idea," and "discussing the design problem" were higher in the design teams compared to other behaviors.
