Theory of solutions of inventive problems, namely TRIZ in Russian, is an innovative method proposed by Russian scientists from innumerable patents. The evolutionary trend to a super system is the fundamental fact of the TRIZ innovating science and is successfully applied in the world leading enterprises. However, the evolutionary trend to a super system is hardly seen in the scientific research. In this paper, we introduce 4 subtrends of the evolutionary trend to a super system, which also exist in the scientific research in the cases of nanophotonics development. In addition, two examples are examined by using the 4 subtrends to design the nanophotonic devices. The one of examples is that we design the super system composed of rotary metal nanorods and metal nanoslits, by integrating inverse engineering systems, to realize the circular dichroism and the asymmetric transmission with the same strength grade. Another example is that we design the super system composed of rotary metal nanorods and metal films, by integrating heterogeneous engineering systems, to realize the indirect coupling effect in chirality.
