Abstract
Placement of objects within a constrained space is a common challenge for designers; it is associated with decisions regarding the furnishing of a space with furniture, collocation of dressings, flower arrangement, and design of comic figures. Though many design elements can be shared on the Internet in the current age of technology, it is still not easy to compare or search for design patterns based on these elements. Thus, it is difficult for designers to efficiently retrieve similar patterns designed by others, to compare them, or to learn from them. This paper proposes the architecture of representing, comparing, retrieving, and analyzing the design patterns of digital contents for design support. This scheme can help the designers to explore the huge space of design patterns efficiently, to analyze and summarize the design styles quickly, and to improve design skills and stimulate imaginations effectively during the process of learning or creating. The proposed scheme has been verified with a design support system for the content creation of comic figures. It is generally applicable to the creation of digital contents and shows potential for applications in the fields of design and education.

Placement of objects within a constrained space is a common challenge for designers; it is associated with decisions regarding the furnishing of a space with furniture, collocation of dressings, flower arrangement, and design of comic figures [1–8]
To compare the design patterns, the feature of each pattern, which includes the attributes of various objects, needs first most similar patterns, as depicted in Figure 1 and discussed as follows
Xi ∈Ck and the centroid of each cluster is computed as mk for the structural design patterns studied in this paper, it is impossible to compute the centroid for a cluster of patterns according to (8), because each pattern contains a set of objects whose attributes are perhaps categorical instead of numerical
Summary
Placement of objects within a constrained space is a common challenge for designers; it is associated with decisions regarding the furnishing of a space with furniture, collocation of dressings, flower arrangement, and design of comic figures [1–8]. Based on this scheme, design support systems can be built to assist the content creation and facilitate the sharing of patterns among the designers. The proposed scheme has been verified with a design support system for the content creation of comic figures; the design elements, which include objects of various types, can be searched, edited, and assembled into patterns These patterns can be compared, retrieved, and clustered, while the design styles can be analyzed and summarized efficiently.
