Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a scalable technology / path search service system,

The present invention relates to a scalable technology / path search service system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a technique of creating a connection network of technology using a technology classification code given to a patent, And more particularly to an extensible technology / path search service system for searching a path that can be extended.

Generally, companies and research institutes use research papers and patent information to find R & D technologies.

Patent information is a collective body of technology collective intelligence. It is a precious property of mankind, in which most of the technical knowledge of the world is first disclosed as a patent. By effectively exploring these patent information, research and development technologies and patterns of technology convergence can be found. Therefore, each company analyzes patents' intellectual property rights of patents by using patent trend analysis system, and is trying to establish its own R & D strategy.

In the conventional patent trend analysis system, a patent trend analysis method which does not focus on the technical classification by the user is used. That is, a method of performing patent classification by automatically classifying the patent data according to the IPC classification without the technical classification of the patent data by the user is used, and when the user's selection is involved in the technical classification, Lt; / RTI >

The conventional technology classification system of the patent trend analysis system has a problem in relation to the patent search and the accuracy of the technical classification itself, and in particular, it does not accept diversity of technical classification according to the analysis purpose.

In a patent trend analysis system that supports some automatic technology classification, a keyword is extracted by a text mining technique in an entire patent document, and a technique classification is performed according to the frequency of the keyword. However, I have a falling problem.

On the other hand, attempts to map conventional technology, science, or knowledge have focused on the role of analyzing the results of technological innovation activities post-hoc. In other words, there were many researches on the change of composition and attribute of the map itself as a product of technological innovation, but there were few studies that used the map literally as the basis of 'navigation'.
