Patent ID: 7343269

Claim:
A method of designing an object using the golden ratio, said method comprising: a primary sequence setting step for calculating primary golden values each being expressed as BL×φ n , where BL is a set reference value, φ is the golden ratio, and n is a negative or positive integer, wherein the primary golden values are sorted by magnitude to obtain a primary sequence and are assigned first codes in accordance with n; a secondary sequence setting step for calculating secondary golden values by (i) setting one of the primary golden values as a primary reference value and (ii) adding to or subtracting from said primary reference value other primary golden values in accordance with a predetermined rule, wherein the secondary golden values are sorted by magnitude to obtain a secondary sequence and are assigned second codes associated with the primary reference value; and a designing step for designing the object based on the primary and secondary golden values; wherein said designing step comprises displaying the designed object together with dimensions of the object, said dimensions being displayed using the first and second codes rather than the primary and secondary golden values.
