As the safety fields are expanding to a variety of industrial fields, safety technology has been developed by convergence between industrial safety fields such as mechanics, ergonomics, electronics, chemistry, construction, and information science. As the technology convergence is facilitating recently advanced safety technology, it is important to explore the trends of safety technology for understanding which industrial technologies have been integrated thus far. For studying the trends of technology, the patent is considered one of the useful sources that has provided the ample information of new technology. The patent has been also used to identify the patterns of technology convergence through various quantitative methods. In this respect, this study aims to identify the convergence patterns and fields of safety technology using association rule mining(ARM)-based patent co-classification(co-class) analysis. The patent co-class data is especially useful for constructing convergence network between technological fields. Through linkages between technological fields, the core and hub classes of convergence network are explored to provide insight into the fields of safety technology. As the representative method for analyzing patent co-class network, the ARM is used to find the likelihood of co-occurrence of patent classes and the ARM network is presented to visualize the convergence network of safety technology. As a result, we find three major convergence fields of safety technology: working safety, medical safety, and vehicle safety.

This study relates to develop a quantitative method through which promising technology-based business items can be discovered and selected. For this study, we utilized patent trend analysis, technology-industry concordance analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis of US patents. By analyzing patent trends and technology-industry concordance, we were able to find out the emerging industry trends : prevalence of bio industry, service industry, and B2C business. From the direct and co-occurrence analysis of newly discovered patent keywords in the year, 2000, 28 promising business item candidates were extracted. Finally, the promising item candidates were prioritized using 4 business attractiveness determinants; market size, product life cycle, degree of the technological innovation, and coincidence with the industry trends. This result implicates that reliable discovery and selection of promising technology-based business items can be performed by a quantitative, objective and low- cost process using knowledge discovery method from patent database instead of peer review.

This paper proposes an approach to analyzing the relationship between technology and services, and to identifying promising service areas for technology-based firms with the analysis of business model (BM) patents. First, BM patents and technology patents are collected and classified into their relevant categories, respectively. Second, patent citation analysis is conducted to analyze the linkage and impacts between each technology and service field at macro level. Third, as a micro level analysis, patent co-classification analysis is employed to identify the interrelationships among specific technology and service areas. Finally, the promising service areas for technology-based firms seeking service areas for diversification is investigated with portfolio analysis. The working of the proposed approach is provided with the help of a case study of IT and mobile services. The proposed approach could guide and help managers of technology-based firms to discover the opportunity of the diversification to new areas in emerging service fields.

This study suggests new approach to identify core technologies through patent analysis. Specially, the approach applied data mining technique and multi-criteria decision making method to the co-classification information of registered patents. First, technological interrelationship matrices of intensity, relatedness, and cross-impact perspectives are constructed with support, lift and confidence values calculated by conducting an association rule mining on the co-classification information of patent data. Second, the analytic network process is applied to the constructed technological interrelationship matrices in order to produce the importance values of technologies from each perspective. Finally, data envelopment analysis is employed to the derived importance values in order to identify priorities of technologies, putting three perspectives together. It is expected that suggested approach could help technology planners to formulate strategy and policy for technological innovation.

글로벌 폴더블 디스플레이 시장은 최근 업체들 간 치열한 경쟁이 벌어지고 있어, 정확한 기술 동향 분석을 통한 전략적 기술기획이 요구되고 있다. 기술기획을 위한 분석 방법으로서의 특허분석은 그 개방성, 정형성, 기술에 대한 상세정보 등의 데이터 특성으로 인해 현장에서 자주 활용되고 있다. 그런데 이 가운데 정성분석은 특허의 내용을 건별로 파악하여야 하는 관계로 시간과 비용의 문제가 발생하며, 전통적인 정량분석은 주로 특허의 수에 의존함으로써 특허의 내용 및 기업별 핵심기술을 파악하는 데 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 특허의 동시분류 네크워크 분석 방법을 활용하여 기업별 핵심기술을 분석해 보고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 폴더블 디스플레이 관련 특허 출원은 2014년부터 급격히 성장하여 출원 기업의 92%가 한국의 2개 패널 제조사(SDC 및 LGD)와 2개 세트 제조사(SEC 및 LGE)의 출원으로 확인되었다. 동시분류 네트워크를 분석해 본 결과, 패널 제조사인 SDC와 LGD는 핵심기술 분야가 서로 유사한 반면, 세트 제조사인 SEC와 LGE는 눈에 띄는 차별성이 존재함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 본 분야 기업의 기술전략에 대한 시사점을 제공한다. 또한 특허 동시분류 네트워크를 통해서만 확인이 가능한 것으로, 이 분석이 기업 기술전략에 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

BIM(Building Information Modeling) is a salient technology for influential innovation in the construction industry. The patent network analysis is useful for suggesting the direction of technology development and exploring the research and development field. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the BIM technology structure and core technologies according to the convergence of BIM technology and market expansion. In this study, social network analysis was conducted by establishing a co-classification IPC network for the United States BIM patent. In particular, the characteristics of the major technical areas in the BIM technology network were identified through centrality analysis. G06F017/00, digital computing or data processing method, is a core technology field in the BIM network. Arrangements, apparatus or systems for transmission of digital information, H04L029/00 is an influential technology across the network. B25J009/00 for program controlled manipulators is an intermediary technology field and G06T019/00, manipulating 3D models or images for computer graphics, is an important field for technological development competitiveness.

A primary concern of national R&D plans is to encourage technological development in private firms and research institutes. For effective R&D planning and program support, it is necessary to assess technological impacts that may exist both directly and indirectly among technology areas within the whole technology system; however, previous studies analyze only direct impacts among technologies, failing to capture both direct and indirect impacts. Therefore, this study proposes an approach based on decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to identifying specific characteristics of technology areas, such as technological impact and degree of cause or effect (DCE). The method employs patent co-classification analysis to construct a technological knowledge flow matrix. Next, to capture both direct and indirect effects among technology areas, it incorporates the modified DEMATEL process into patent analysis. The method helps analysts assess the technological impact and DCE of technology areas, and observe their evolving trajectories over time, thereby identifying relevant technological implications. This study presents a case study using Korean patents registered during 2003-2012. We expect our analysis results to be helpful input for R&D planning, as well as the suggested approach to be incorporated into processes for formulating national R&D plans.

As recognized by all scientific and industrial groups, carbon dioxide($CO_2$) capture and storage(CCS) could play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Especially carbon capture technology by dry sorbent is considered as a most energy-efficient method among the existing CCS technologies. Patent analysis has been considered to be a necessary step for identifying technological trend and planning technology strategies. This paper is aimed at identifying evolving technology trend and key indicators of dry sorbent from the objective information of patents. And technology map of key patents is also presented. In this study the patents applied in korea, japan, china, canada, US, EU from 1993 to 2013 are analyzed.
