In this Study, Social Network Analysis of IoT related patents in South Korea, China, and Japan was conducted from the viewpoint of patent informatics. To this end, 2,526 patents filed by PCT until December 2019 were investigated up to the subclass level of the IPC code. As a result, in the case of South Korea, representative IPC codes are in the order of G06Q, H04L, G06F, H04W, and the highest frequency of interconnection is H04L→H04W, H04W→H04L, H04W→H04B. In China, the representative IPC codes are in the order of H04L, H04W, G05B, G06Q. South Korea has strong technological convergence centered on the G06Q, while China has strong convergence centered around H04L and H04W. Moreover, in China, H04L and H04W have more diverse combinations than in South Korea in Section A, B, G, and H. In the future, it is necessary to study the diversity of technology convergence of H04L and H04W in China.

본 논문은 기계학습을 통하여 특허문서를 국제 특허 분류(IPC) 기준에 따라 자동으로 분류하는 시스템에 관한 연구로 잠재 의미 색인 기법을 이용하여 분류의 성능을 높일 수 있는 방법을 제안하기 위한 연구이다. 종래 특허문서에 관한 IPC 자동 분류에 관한 연구가 단어 매칭 방식의 색인 기법에 의존해서 이루어진바가 있으나, 현대 기술용어의 발생 속도와 다양성 등을 고려할 때 특허문서들 간의 관련성을 분석하는데 있어서는 단어 자체의 빈도 보다는 용어의 개념에 의한 접근이 보다 효과적일 것이라 판단하여 잠재 의미 색인(LSI) 기법에 의한 분류에 관한 연구를 하게 된 것이다. 실험은 단어 매칭 방식의 색인 기법의 대표적인 자질선택 방법인 정보획득량(IG)과 카이제곱 통계량(CHI)을 이용했을 때의 성능과 잠재 의미 색인 방법을 이용했을 때의 성능을 SVM, kNN 및 Naive Bayes 분류기를 사용하여 분석하고, 그중 가장 성능이 우수하게 나오는 SVM을 사용하여 잠재 의미 색인에서 명사가 해당 용어의 개념적 의미 구조를 구축하는데 기여하는 정도가 어느 정도인지 평가함과 아울러, LSI 기법 이용시 최적의 성능을 나타내는 특이값의 범위를 실험을 통해 비교 분석 하였다. 분석결과 LSI 기법이 단어 매칭 기법(IG, CHI)에 비해 우수한 성능을 보였으며, SVM, Naive Bayes 분류기는 단어 매칭 기법에서는 비슷한 수준을 보였으나, LSI 기법에서는 SVM의 성능이 월등이 우수한 것으로 나왔다. 또한, SVM은 LSI 기법에서 약 3%의 성능 향상을 보였지만 Naive Bayes는 오히려 20%의 성능 저하를 보였다. LSI 기법에서 명사가 잠재적 의미 구조에 미치는 영향은 모든 단어들을 내용어로 한 경우 보다 약 10% 더 향상된 결과를 보여주었고, 특이값의 범위에 따른 성능 분석에 있어서는 30% 수준에 Rank 되는 범위에서 가장 높은 성능의 결과가 나왔다.

In this paper, we investigated the number of domestic patent applications by year, the number of domestic patent disclosures by year, and the number of domestic registrations by year regarding smart factories. The number of patent applications by applicant type was investigated. Based on the patents studied, it was found that the IPC appearing in the most patents was G05B 19/418. In addition, through social network analysis of smart factory patented IPCs, it was found that G05B 19/418 was the IPC with the highest degree of centrality. From the above, if the IPC of the core technology of the patent submitted for smart factory is G05B 19/418, the technology combined with G05B 23/02, that is, the technology combining "factory control" and "monitoring" is the most patented. When the IPC of the core technology was G06Q 50/04, it was confirmed that the technology combined with G06Q 50/10, that is, the technology combining "manufacturing" and "service" was the most applied for patents. Through this, it was found that in order to apply for a patent for a smart factory, it would be necessary to file a patent application that takes into account the connectivity between IPCs.

The 4th industrial revolution has made our life convenient, and the development of new technologies has brought affluent life. Considering that the 4th industrial revolution is a next-generation industrial revolution led by robot technology, life science, and artificial intelligence, the need for convergence research in sports field stimulated the continuous efforts for the academic foundation of sports. Recently, as interest in home training has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pilates has also attracted much attentions demand for related supplies has increased. This is an demonstration that COVID-19 has had an impact on the sports industry ecosystem. The purpose of this study was, accordingly, to identify current trends through accurate patent information related to Pilates and to provide basic data for future studies on sports convergence industry and sports intellectual property. For the purpose, based on the data from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2021 provided by KIPRIS (www.kipris.or.kr), the patent information search service provided by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, patent status analysis, international patent classification (IPC) patent analysis, and detailed patent analysis by classification were performed.

Purpose: As most defense technologies are classified as confidential, the corresponding International Patent Classifications (IPCs) require special attention. Consequently, the list of defense-related IPCs has been managed by the government. This paper aims to evaluate the defense-related IPCs and propose a methodology to revalidate and improve the IPC classification scheme. Methods: The patents in military technology and their corresponding IPCs during 2009~2020 were utilized in this paper. Prior to the analysis, patents are divided into private and public sectors. Social network analysis was used to analyze the convergence structure and central defense technology, and association rule mining analysis was used to analyze the convergence pattern. Results: While the public sector was highly cohesive, the private sector was characterized by easy convergence between technologies. In addition, narrow convergence was observed in the public sector, and wide convergence was observed in the private sector. As a result of analyzing the core technologies of defense technology, defense-related IPC candidates were identified. Conclusion: This paper presents a comprehensive perspective on the structure of convergence of defense technology and the pattern of convergence. It is also significant because it proposed a method for revising defense-related IPCs. The results of this study are expected to be used as guidelines for preparing amendments to the government's defense-related IPC.

Despite its matchless position in the global semiconductor industry, Korea has not distinguished itself in the semiconductor equipment sector. Semiconductor cleaning equipment is one of the semiconductor fabrication equipment, and it is expected to be more important along with the advancement of semiconductor fabrication processes. This study attempts to analyze technology competitiveness of major countries in the sector including Korea, and explore specialty sub-areas of the countries. For this purpose, we collected patents of semiconductor cleaning equipment during the last 10 years from the US patent database, and implemented quantitative patent analysis and co-classification network analysis. The result shows that, the US and Japan have been leading the technological progress in this sector, and Korea's competitiveness has lagged behind not only the leading countries but also its competitors and even latecomers. Therefore, intensive R&D and developing technological capabilities are needed for advancing the country's competitiveness in the sector.
