This study identified technological trends through an analysis of patents for the industrialization of personal protection and convenience equipment using information and communication technology (ICT) as a part of efforts to prevent farm work-related disasters. The analysis was conducted on patents registered and published between January 1974 and May 2016 by the world's five largest intellectual property offices, including the KIPO, USPTO, JPO, EPO, and SIPO. The results of the analysis indicate that the US (36.8%) and South Korea (30.9%) led technological research and development (R&D) with frequent patent applications. An analysis of the technological market revealed that these countries are in the growth and maturity stages, in which the number of patents and number of patent applicants grow rapidly. In terms of the technological market shares of major countries, the US recorded the highest market shares in the field of sensing systems for workers' dangerous conditions and convenience protection equipment based on the internet of things (IoT) convergence. South Korea marked the highest share of 41.8% in the field of sensing devices for dangerous conditions in the working environment. An analysis of the trend of patent applications by specific technologies disclosed the following results: sensing systems for workers' dangerous conditions accounted for the highest share (49.2%), followed by IoT convergence-based convenience protection equipment (26.3%) and sensing devices for dangerous conditions in the working environment (24.6%). Based on this study, ICT-based personal protection and convenience equipment technologies are expected to be actively developed in the future. It will be necessary to secure national competitiveness through R&D investments and commercialization in personal protection and convenience equipment appropriate for farm work as well as through the acquisition of patent technologies and intellectual property rights.

Recently, the technological development in the Internet of Things(IoT) field has grown rapidly worldwide and China is also expected to show a noticeable growth trend in this field. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the recent trend of Chinese patents in the IoT field. China has been very active between 2010 and 2014, surpassing USA, and the this trend will accelerate in the future. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the number of IoT-related patents in China increased rapidly from 2010 to 2014. Second, the major actors that led this quantitative increase are firms including ZTE and higher education institutes such as Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Lastly, major technological fields and the convergence networks amongst those fields were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the patenting activity in H04L was the most active and this field has led the convergence among other technological fields.

Electronic financial transactions are also actively increasing due to the rapid spread of information communication media such as the Internet, smart devices, and IoT, but as a derivative by-product, threats of financial security such as leakage of various personal information and hacking are also increasing. Therefore, the importance of financial security against this is increasing, but in Korea, financial security technology is relatively insufficient compared to advanced countries in the field of financial security, such as Active-X. Therefore, this study aims to present the major development direction in the domestic financial security field by comparing key technology trends with IPC classification frequency analysis, keyword frequency analysis, and keyword network analysis based on domestic and foreign financial security-related patent data. In conclusion, it seems that recent domestic and foreign trends have focused on the development of related technologies according to the development of smart device-based electronic financial services. Accordingly, it is intended to be used as the basis data for technology development of financial security by mapping the trend of financial security research trend and technology trend analysis through thesis data analysis that reflects the research of the preceding aspect as the technology of commercialization in the future.

Global climate change and urbanization have various demerits, such as water pollution, flood damage, and deterioration of water circulation. Thus, attention is drawn to Nature-based Solution (NbS) that solve environmental problems in ways that imitate nature. Among the NbS, urban wetlands are facilities that perform functions, such as removing pollutants from a city, improving water circulation, and providing ecological habitats, by strengthening original natural wetland pillars. Frequent monitoring and maintenance are essential for urban wetlands to maintain their performance; therefore, there is a need to apply the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to wetland monitoring. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to develop a real-time wetland monitoring device and interface. Temperature, water temperature, humidity, soil humidity, PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 were measured, and the measurements were taken at 10-minute intervals for three days in both indoor and wetland. Sensors suitable for conditions that needed to be measured and an Arduino MEGA 2560 were connected to enable sensing, and communication modules were connected to transmit data to real-time databases. The transmitted data were displayed on a developed web page. The data measured to verify the monitoring device were compared with data from the Korea meteorological administration and the Korea environment corporation, and the output and upward or downward trend were similar. Moreover, findings from a related patent search indicated that there are a minimal number of instances where information and communication technology (ICT) has been applied in wetland contexts. Hence, it is essential to consider further research, development, and implementation of ICT to address this gap. The results of this study could be the basis for time-series data analysis research using automation, machine learning, or deep learning in urban wetland maintenance.

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.
