Abstract
In this study, we analysed the technology convergence of Internet of Things(IoT) by International Patent Classification(IPC) code analysis. 163 patent applications in Korea are the subjects of this study. We confirmed that the most representative IPC code combinations between Main and Sub categories are G06Q 50/24-G06Q 50/22(6 cases), H04L 29/02-H04L 12/28(4 cases), G06F 15/16-G06F 3/048(3 cases), G06F 15/16-G06F 9/44(3 cases), and G06Q 50/22-G06Q 50/24(3 cases). The field of Health Care business have been prepared 9 patent applications by technology convergence between 'Health Care(G06Q 50/22)' and 'Patient Record Management(G06Q 50/24)'. Finally we also concluded that the core IPC code are G06F 15/16, G06Q 50/22, G06Q 50/24, and H04L 12/28 by the technology convergence interconnections analysis of IoT patent applications.
