Research on Innovative Interactive Pet Toy Design Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

The development of pet products has met the advanced needs of users under the trend of scientific and technological intelligence. Pet intelligent toys have gradually received attention and development, strengthening their functional design. Additionally, interactive and adaptive gaming experiences are beneficial for both humans and pets [1]. To enhance the quality of pet toys and improve user experience, it is crucial to study and optimize how users interact with them. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) breaks down the overall objective into different levels and combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to make decisions. This study aims to explore the optimization method of innovative interaction pet-toy design using AHP. This paper analyses the needs of all users through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews. It clarifies the design elements and establishes a hierarchical analysis model of functional requirements for pet toys using the KJ method. The analytic hierarchy process is then used to calculate the weights of each index system and sort them. This provides a theoretical basis for the design of innovative interactive pet toys.
