Abstract: In order to solve the problem of low reusability of knowledge during handicrafts personalized customization process, a method for the extraction and reuse of pattern configuration for handicrafts personalized customization is proposed, and here the innovative design of batik pattern is taken as an example. Firstly, the batik knowledge was sorted out to the need of handicrafts personalized customization application, the batik knowledge base and case base were built, and a semantic relationship between the two bases was constructed. Through the retrieval of ontology semantics, a batik case that met the user's needs was recommended. Then, shape context was used to extract the patterns of batik paintings, and topological methods was combined to establish the configuration rules of patterns. Shape grammar based on character encoding was improved in the process of configuration reuse, used to describe the transformation of shapes during pattern filling; thereby the batik pattern reuse for personalized customization was completed. This study develops a batik handicrafts personalized customization system, and tests the method feasibility through an application example.

Key words: batik knowledge, semantic retrieval, configuration rules, personalized customization
