Objectives : This study aims to analyze the patents filed in the clinical diagnosis sector where technologies have been actively developed since the advent of the 4th industrial revolution. Methods : The analysis has been conducted in two ways - the period from 2016 to 2021 and the time points before and after COVID-19 - by visualizing based on the word cloud method. Results : Over two thirds of patents has been filed in the A61B sector (71.8%) and cure, sensor, self diagnosis, control, and breakdown have been observed in the period above. During the overall period (2016~2021), 'ultrasound'(7.5%), 'image'(5.1%), 'skin'(4.0%), 'treatment'(3.4%), and 'artificial intelligence(2.5%)' were the frequently patent applications technologies. In addition, 'ultrasound'(6.2%), 'image'(5.5%), 'skin'(4.0%), 'treatment' (3.7%), and 'portable'(1.7%) appeared most frequently before COVID-19 whereas 'ultrasound(5.5%)', 'artificial intelligence(4.2%)', 'diagnostic device'(1.9%), 'dimentia'(1.6%), and 'diagnostic kit'(1.4%) emerged the most after COVID-19. Conclusion : This study is meaningful in that it showed the technological development trend in the digital diagnosis sector and it was found that the Korean medicine field should contribute to this field more actively in the future.

For the human body shape information, body measurement techniques using a tape measure or image analysis are used. However, there is a demand for a method with high measurement accuracy and reproducibility while being simple. In this paper, domestic and foreign patent research related to body size measurement technology was conducted to identify the development trend of the related technology. WISDOMAIN DB was used to search for patents published in Korea, the United States, Japan, and Europe, and valid patents were derived by defining the technical scope of major and medium classifications and sub-categories. For the derived patents, patent trends by year, major applicants by country, and the status of technological fields were analyzed. In the field of body size measurement technology, the proportion of patent applications filed in Korea is high, indicating that Korea is leading the patent application in this field. Although the number of patent applications in the field of sensor-type measurement technology was not large, it has an advantage in measurement simplicity, so the development of related technology is expected to contribute to the improvement of measurement accuracy related to body composition analysis.

This study analyzes patent trends by deriving sub-technical fields of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) industry, and analyzing technology value, originality, and diversity for each sub-technical field. To collect patent data, a set of international patent classification(IPC) codes related to OLED technology was defined, and OLED-related patents applied from 2005 to 2017 were collected using a set of IPC codes. Then, a large number of collected patent documents were classified into 12 major technologies using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) topic model and trends for each technology were investigated. Patents related to touch sensor, module, image processing, and circuit driving showed an increasing trend, but virtual reality and user interface recently decreased, and thin film transistor, fingerprint recognition, and optical film showed a continuous trend. To compare the technological value, the number of forward citations, originality, and diversity of patents included in each technology group were investigated. From the results, image processing, user interface(UI) and user experience(UX), module, and adhesive technology with high number of forward citations, originality and diversity showed relatively high technological value. The results provide useful information in the process of establishing a company's technology strategy.

In this paper, we analyzed IoT patent data using the social network analysis of keyword community network in patents related to Internet of Things technology. To identify the difference of IoT patent trends between Korea and USA, 100 Korea patents and 100 USA patents were collected, respectively. First, we first extracted important keywords from IoT patent abstracts using the TF-IDF weight and their correlation and then constructed the keyword network based on the selected keywords. Second, we constructed a keyword community network based on the keyword community and performed social network analysis. Our experimental results showed while Korea patents focus on the core technologies of IoT (such as security, semiconductors and image process areas), USA patents focus on the applications of IoT (such as the smart home, interactive media and telecommunications).

This paper proposes a patent discovery method and strategy for Generative AI-related patents by utilizing qualitative evaluation indicators established based on the core components of the technology. Currently, the evaluation of patent quality relies on quantitative indicators, but existing quantitative indicators cannot represent the characteristics of Generative AI technology, making it difficult to accurately evaluate. Therefore, there is a need for additional qualitative indicators that consider technical characteristics based on patent claims, which can reveal the actual strength of the patent. In this paper, we propose a new evaluation index considering the technical characteristics of Generative AI. Core patents were selected using the proposed evaluation index, and the appropriateness of the proposed index was verified through the existing quantitative evaluation method for the selected core patents.

It is important to utilize an efficient quality management platform because the management of deadlines at construction sites requires rapid and accurate processing of numerous defect data in a short time. In this study, 30 domestic patents for defect management and image analysis were analyzed to examine the development status of quality management platforms using mobile devices. As a result of the analysis, research on automatically detecting defects using artificial intelligence has been actively underway in recent years, and advanced IT technologies have been converging in various ways into linked services.

This study aims to establish an efficient future technology development strategy in the information and telecommunications industry by grasping related technology trends and fusion complexity through an analysis based on standard patents. Analyzing 1,983 patents related to the information and telecommunications industry identified the trends in major patent applicants and detailed technologies in the world. In addition, technology trends were investigated through keyword analysis to examine the degree of complexity in information and communications technology, confirming the direction of research in information technology. Electronic component and wireless communications fields have relatively few standard patents, but they are highly convergent with other industrial technologies. Computer information processes and communication and broadcasting technologies are highly related to each other, so they can be used as standard fusion technologies in standard patents. In addition, standardization activities in optical and image/sound devices are found to be high.

Recently the numbers of patent about the technology for mobile payment with Ie or bluetooth-chip are being increased more and more. The reasons of patent increment for mobile payment are advancement of wireless internet technology and rising of customer's request for it. The customer wants to be able to pay for purchase, tax and aid with own mobile phone. So every mobile service provider applies for patents about that competitively. And in the near future the biometrics is generalized in the mobile payment system. Especially the payment service of iris recognition is significant technique in this area for the future prospect. The biometrics of iris is an accurate authentication method because it has about 250 distinguish parameters to the finger print's 30. The biometrics of iris can recognize and identify a person for 2 seconds. But the image of iris is changed by transformation of body in the life. And the existing iris authentication system has problem that can be miss-recognized. In this paper, we propose the new method that reduces miss-recognizing rate with Renewable Iris Authentication Algorithm(RIAA) in mobile system.
