The economic growth that depended on IT industry is reaching to a limit. In order to overcome the limit, the convergence industry that makes new market and products is essential. However, companies preparing a jump into the convergence industry must understand the exact visions and characteristics of convergence. Therefore, we investigated the structural changes of industries caused by convergence and importance characteristics of convergence. Also, we demonstrated the current status of the convergence industry and analyzed economical, social/cultural, and technological environments that the companies are facing, and elaborated the opportunities of convergence. At last, we suggested basic requirements and strategies for companies starting a convergence business and IT utilization methods to accelerate the convergence business activation.

As the convergence among technologies is reorganizing industry sectors, it is quite important to evaluate the probability of technological convergence, and to analyze how the technologies in a certain industry sector affect the same or other industry sectors. As a result, the large number of studies have been focused on the industry convergence. However, most of them have dealt mainly with case studies or strategy and policies and few efforts have been made to study it using quantitative data. The investigation of industry convergence using quantitative data will help understand the characteristics of industry and forecast the future of the industry from an objective point of view. Therefore, this research proposes a methodology to evaluate the possibilities of industry convergence using patent data. In particular, we emphasize the possibilities of technology convergence and suggest a technology relationship matrix to evaluate the technology convergence, as an antecedent of industry convergence. The feasibility and utility of the suggested methodology was verified with a case study on the convergence of IT and BT. The research results are expected to provide a useful guideline for developing a measure of convergence.

The objective of this study is to investigate patent trends of Daegu city which tries to introduce environment friendly energy and to develop new technology or new industry sprung from technology convergence on smart decentralized energy technology and other technologies. After applying network analysis to corresponding groups of technology or industry convergence, strategy for future energy convergence industry is provided. Patent data applied in Daegu city area are used to obtain research goal. The technology which contains several IPC codes (IPC Co-occurrence) is considered as a convergence technology. Path finder network analysis is used for visualizing and grouping by using IPC codes. The analysis results categorized 13 groups in energy convergence industry and reclassified them into 3 cluster groups (Smart Energy Product Production Technology Group, Smart Energy Convergence Supply Technology Group, Smart Energy Indirect Application Technology Group) considering the technical characteristics and policy direction. Also, energy industry has evolved rapidly by technological convergence with other industries. Especially, it has been converged with IT industry, and there is a trend that energy industry will be converged with service industry and manufacturing industry such as textile, automobile parts, mechanics, and logistics by employing infrastructure as well as network. Based on the research results on core patent technology, convergence technology and inter-industry analysis, the direction of core technology research and development as well as evolution on decentralized energy industry is identified. By using research design and methodology in this study, the trend of convergence technology is investigated based on objective data (patent data). Above all, we can easily confirm the core technology in the local industry by analyzing the industrial competitiveness in the macro level. Based on this, we can identify convergence industry and technology by performing the technological convergence analysis in the micro level.

In this article, we propose a typology of industry convergences which encourages to invent new types of products and services through combining technologies across industries and identifying success factors of convergence industries which were resulted by industry convergences. In detail, the proposed typology of industry convergences is analyzed based on three viewpoints such as academic areas that provide the knowledge of convergence technologies, industry structures for the existing markets, and user experiences used for improving user friendliness. Such viewpoints can not only be considered as the sources for convergence industries but also be closely related with success factors of convergence industries. Based on the typology and the success factors of convergence industries, we suggest the implications about policies for the domestic industry convergence. It is expected that the results of this article can be widely applied to further activate industry convergences to overcome the recent global economic downturn.

융합에 관한 관심이 고조되면서 융합을 측정하고자 하는 다양한 시도들이 이루어지고 있으나, 융합의 정의가 모호하고, 측정 지표에 대한 컨센선스가 이루어지지 않아 융합의 측정에 대해서는 더욱 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 한국특허청에서 특허와 경제, 산업, 인구 등과의 영향도 및 상관관계를 분석할 수 있도록 개발한 산업(KSIC)-특허(IPC) 연계표를 이용하여 특허 데이터로부터 산업융합을 평가할 수 있는 신규 평가 모형을 제안하고, 이로부터 도출된 산업융합이 기업의 융합특성을 제대로 반영하는지를 여부를 실증하였다. 글로벌 주요 자동차 기업들이 보유한 39,740건 특허의 융합여부를 각각 분류하고, 각 기업의 융합도를 평가한 결과, KSIC-IPC 연계표를 이용하여 도출된 산업융합은 동시분류분석으로 분류된 기술융합보다 기업의 융합특성을 보다 잘 반영한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 KSIC-IPC 연계표를 이용한 신규 산업융합 평가모델로부터 도출된 자동차 분야 산업융합 자료는 향후 융합연구에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) accumulation is a constitutional disorder resulting from metabolic syndrome. Although surgical and non-surgical methods for reducing SAT exist, patients remain non-compliant because of potential adverse effects and cost. In this study, we developed a new minimally-invasive approach to achieve SAT reduction, using a microneedle (MN) patch prepared from gelatin, which is capable of regulating fat metabolism. Four gelatin types were used: three derived from fish (SA-FG, GT-FG 220, and GT-FG 250), and one from swine (SM-PG 280). We applied gelatin-based MN patches five times over 4 weeks to rats with high-fat diet (HD)-induced obesity, and determined the resulting amount of SAT. We also investigated the histological features and determined the expression levels of fat metabolism-associated genes in SAT using hematoxylin and eosin staining and western blotting, respectively. SAT decreased following treatment with all four gelatin MN patches. Smaller adipocytes were observed in the regions treated with SA-FG, GT-FG 250, and SM-PG 280 MNs, demonstrating a decline in fat accumulation. The expression levels of fat metabolism-associated genes in the MN-treated SAT revealed that GT-FG 220 regulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) protein levels. These findings suggest that gelatin MN patches aid in decreasing the quantity of unwanted SAT by altering lipid metabolism and fat deposition.

This study aims to investigate industry needs for convergence education in the field of nano-technology, bio-technology, robot, and design. Firstly, the area of convergence technology in nano-tech, bio-tech, robot, and design fields was examined through the literature review and case study. The areas were validated by the experts review who consisted of four industry experts and four professors in the relevant fields. Second, a questionnaire was developed for investigating industry's needs on convergence education. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: 1) awareness of necessity for convergence education, 2) the needs for convergence new technology education from the perspective of industry, and 3) opinions on convergence education. The questionnaire was validated by three engineering education experts. Third, the survey was conducted in cooperation with the Sector Council of Industrial Resources. A total of 400 respondents responded to the questionnaires: 98 in the nano-technology field, 74 in the design field, 58 in the robotics field, and 170 in the bio-technology field. Fourth the industry needs for convergence education were analyzed and implications were suggested. The results of this study are expected to provide a guideline for developing convergence education programs in higher education.

산업융합의 거시적 양상을 다루는 기존 연구는 주로 지식과 기술이 구체화된 특허나 재화/서비스의 산업간 네트워크에 초점을 두었다. 이 논문은 지식과 기술을 체화한 인적자원이 산업과 직업의 융합을 주도하는 또 하나의 중요한 매개체라고 본다. 최근 5개년도 GOMS 자료에 나타난 대졸자 전공 및 일자리 정보를 활용하여 산업(직업)융합의 거시적 양상과 그 구조를 이해하기 위한 분석전략을 제시한다. 구체적으로 전공과 일자리 정보를 토대로 전공↔산업(직업)의 비대칭 이분네트워크를 구축하고, 산업(직업)의 적소범위, 관련 전공의 평균 적소범위라는 두 축을 교차하여 전문주의, 종합주의, 국지적 융합, 융합 등 총 4가지 산업(직업)군을 분류하였다. 융합산업(직업)은 특정 분야에서 국지적 융합성이 높은 다수의 전공으로부터 인적자원을 폭넓게 공급받는 산업(직업)이라고 볼 수 있다. 탐색적 분석결과를 토대로 함의를 도출하고 향후 과제를 제시한다.
