Description

Patent / Technical Analysis Data Processing and Patent Map Automatic Generation Method {METHOD OF DATA-PROCESSING AND AUTO-GENERATING PATENT MAP FOR PATENT / TECHNICAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS}

The present invention relates to data processing for patent / technology analysis and automatic generation of a patent map. More specifically, the patent / technology search data obtained by utilizing various patent search systems widely used both at home and abroad are obtained. The present invention relates to a method of automatically generating data useful for analyzing patent maps and patent / technology trends by automatically converting to an analysis master table and appropriately processing the data of the obtained master table.

Today, securing industrial property rights is closely related to the competitiveness of a company. Often a new product is developed without knowing the existence of a prior patent right, and it often leads to patent disputes and excessive royalties, which in turn hurts management and abandon the new product. We are living in the so-called "era of patent war" where the availability of valid industrial property rights will determine the success or failure of the business.

In order to survive in the environment of patent war, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive patent strategy for promising products. It is urgently needed to prepare for countermeasures such as preventing patent disputes in advance, promoting independent development of related core technologies, and reducing royalties through patent avoidance design. In an effort to meet these demands, a thorough analysis of industrial property rights on related technologies and the determination of the direction of technology development based on them are required. The analysis may include information on the existence of preceding source patent rights, the possibility of avoiding the source patent rights, and trends in technological development of competitors.

Patent map (patent map) has been widely used in the past as a useful tool for the analysis of patent rights and the establishment of a patent strategy. In the past, patent maps were written in a so-called manual way, which was created directly by analysts, but the amount of information to be handled was enormous.

Recently, attempts have been made to create a patent map using a computer. However, the creation of a patent map using a computer has various problems to be solved. As a priority, information related to patent rights and utility model rights needs to be first constructed as a comprehensive database covering all patent information on major countries. As another task, in order to obtain practically useful information in R & D and management, the constructed database should be further processed in various ways, and the processing results may be used as a useful tool in establishing effective patent analysis and patent strategy. There is a need to visualize various types of patent maps.

In order to satisfy the above-mentioned first problem, the present applicant has filed a Korean patent application filed on Feb. 27, 1999 entitled "Data conversion method for converting a technical data search text file into a master table for technical information analysis". In No. 6685, a method for automatically constructing a database for each technical subject is proposed by automatically converting patent / technical search data obtained by using various patent search systems widely used at home and abroad into a master table for analyzing patent information in a database form. There is a bar. In addition, in order to meet the above second problem, in the Korean Patent Application No. 99-11079, filed March 30, 1999 entitled "Patent Map Generation Method", a patent established by applying the method according to the above-mentioned prior application A method of automatically generating a patent map such as a matrix map or a road map of various forms by processing data of a master table for information analysis has been proposed.

Through the above two patent applications, the applicant intends to provide a means to quickly and accurately process the database of patent / technical data and the reprocessing of various information using the established database through a programmed computer. It was.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for automatically performing the visualization of the patent / technical information, the statistics of various information and the visualization through graphs while improving the functions of data conversion and patent map automatic generation proposed in the above two applications. For that purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, in a method for automatically generating a patent map by processing data on the patent technology information using a computer,

In response to an instruction for generating a subject by a user, a first step of reading a technical topic designated by the user and creating a master table in a database format defined by a predetermined data structure having the technical topic as a name in the data storage means;

In response to the instruction for data conversion by the user, the search data file selected by the user among the search data in the form of a file obtained through data search using a predetermined patent technology search system and stored in the data storage means corresponds to a predetermined technology topic. A second step of automatically converting the data into a master table; And

When a user selects a patent map to be created from among a master table corresponding to a technical subject for which a patent map is desired to be output and one or more types of patent maps defined in a predetermined form, in response to this, the data included in the selected master table is used. The patent data automatic conversion and patent map automatic generation method characterized by having a third step of automatically generating the selected patent map.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a system that can be applied to the patent / technology analysis data processing and patent map automatic generation method according to the present invention by way of example, Figure 2 according to the invention the search data by technology topics A diagram for explaining a concept of automatically converting a master table to a database type.

The automatic conversion of the search data into the database and the patent map automatic generation method according to the present invention are implemented by a program named PAMS (Patent Anaysis & Mapping System). In order to execute this program, a PAMS program is installed, and a general computer system 200 having input / output means 150 and 160, auxiliary storage means 160, a communication modem 110, a CD-ROM driver 120, and the like. There is a need for a variety of retrieval systems 300 that provide patent / technology related source data.

In order to automatically generate a patent map, first, by using a search system 300 for a patent or a technology, a data search is performed for each technology topic, and the searched data is output from the search system 300 to output a text file form of the computer system 200. It should be stored in the auxiliary storage means (160). The patent / technology search system 300, which is widely known and used at home and abroad, for example, a patent search system serviced by patent offices of various countries, or various patent or technology data search systems serviced by commercial companies or organizations for commercial or non-profit purposes There are dozens, and the number is increasing. One of the common features of these search systems 300 is that the user can search for desired data and output the found data in the form of a text file. However, the format of the search file obtained from various search systems is not unified in one, and each search system has its own file format.

In order to automatically perform data conversion of a search file of various formats into a database called a master table of a single structure, a special method needs to be taken into consideration. This point has already been described in Korean Patent Application No. 99-6685. I have suggested through

A brief summary of the technical details of the data conversion method disclosed in the above application is as follows. The master table 320 is created for each technical topic. When the user selects a text file 310 to be converted, a technology subject and a duplicate record processing method on the computer screen 140, the user first checks whether the selected text file is a convertible file using a file separator, and then converts the corresponding text file. Enable the module. The enabled conversion module opens a text file and parses it line by line, finds record separators and field separators, compares them with preset delimiter information, and temporarily stores field data in an array in record units. After that, it checks whether there is overlap between the records stored in the array and the records already existing in the master table, and according to any one of merge, replace or array reset according to the duplicate record processing method set by the user. The data stored in the array is imported into the master table 320. This process continues until the end of the file is encountered. Applicable retrieval system 300 may vary, and the conversion module is separately prepared according to the format of the text file output by each retrieval system. Examples of patent data retrieval system to which the present invention can be applied include QPAT, KIPRIS, PATROM Windows 5.0 version, WIPS, KINITI-IR Patent / Utility, PatentView CD, PAJ-CD, DACOM-DERWENT WPI, KINITI-IR WPI, Dialog DB (348, 347, 351), IBM U.S. Patent Search System, etc. , MEDLINE, Food & Human Nutrition, KFRI-Literature Information, JOIS, COMPENDEX, SAE Paper.

Further details of data conversion will not be described herein again in order to avoid redundant explanations, but all technical matters disclosed in the above-mentioned Korean Patent Application No. 99-6685 are intended to be included as part of the disclosure of this application.

Figure 3 shows the configuration of the main menu of the computer program that can implement the patent / technology analysis data processing and patent map automatic generation method according to the present invention. The main menu consists of the 'File, Tools, Output, Window, and Help' menus. File menu 410 is provided with a drop-down menu such as 'topic management, subject recovery, data processing, multiple data processing, code processing, page setup, print, exit' and the like. The tool menu 420 is provided with a menu of 'data conversion, data search, representative name of the applicant, processing claims for predicting claims, and key patent derivation'. The output menu 430 is provided with a menu of 'basic analysis map, trend map and technology / claim map'.

The theme management menu of the file menu 410 provides a function of creating, deleting, and performing other management of a master table for each technical subject in the form of a database for patent analysis and various output data. In order to automatically convert the technology-specific text file 310 obtained from the retrieval system 300 into the master table 320, a master table 320 having an empty shell must be generated in advance. To this end, in the subject management window of FIG. 4, after inputting a technical subject name and the like, and clicking the create subject button, the auxiliary storage means 160 of the computer system 200 generates a master table 320 having a predefined structure. In other words, when an instruction for generating a subject by a user is issued through the input means 150, the controller 132 of the computer system 200 reads the technical subject from the monitor 140 designated by the user and names the technical subject. A master table 320 having a database format is created in the auxiliary storage means 160. The structure of the master table 320 can be the structure illustrated in "Table 1".

The data structure in "Table 1" is written comprehensively for the management, processing and analysis of more useful patent information, and this data structure may be changed as necessary.

After generating the empty master table 320 as described above, the data of the text file 310 of the external search system 300 obtained through the search is automatically converted into the data of the master table having a data structure. This is a function that can automatically build a patent database without performing a separate data entry. To this end, the user first selects a master table that is a target of data conversion, and then executes the data conversion menu of the tool menu 420 to give a data conversion instruction. Then, the CPU 132 automatically recognizes the data format of the text file 310 stored in the auxiliary storage means 160 in response to this instruction, and automatically converts the data format into the data of the target master table. Such automatic conversion is in accordance with the method disclosed in the aforementioned Korean Patent Application No. 99-6685.

The converted master table now contains data about patent / technical information obtained from the retrieval system. The modification, addition, or deletion of data contained in the master table 320 may be performed on a case-by-case basis through the screen illustrated in FIG. 5A or on a plurality of cases at once through the screen illustrated in FIG. 5B.

In addition to creating a new master table for the first time, data may be added to an existing master table. FIG. 7 is a screen for this purpose. In FIG. 7, in order to check the overlap between the existing data already stored in the master table 320 and the data to be newly input and to integrate the duplicate data, the 'merge' button is checked and the existing data is replaced with the new data. To replace, check the 'replace' button. Details of data processing according to the selection of integration or replacement functions are disclosed in detail in Korean Patent Application No. 99-6685.

On the other hand, coding is performed on data that needs to be coded for convenience and smoothness of data management. 6 shows a screen for code processing of data that needs to be coded. Examples of data requiring encoding include country, technical classification, applicant, technical component, and the like. For example, the country codes the country code representing English name and Korean name, and the technology classification classifies the technology into large / medium / small and integrates the codes assigned to each of the large / small / small classification. Shall be.

Next, in order to perform a patent map, various statistical graphs, or other additional functions, the master table corresponding to the technical subject desired by the user should be selected and activated in advance.

Various functions can be performed with a specific master table activated.

As the first, the data recorded in the master table 320 can be retrieved. A screen configuration for data search is shown in FIG. 8A. The user selects a field to search in a search item window of this screen, selects an operator in a comparison operator window, and then specifies a data value to search. Multiple conditional search is possible by specifying logical operator. If the search condition is specified in this manner and then the 'view search result' button is pressed, the CPU 132 searches for data satisfying the search condition among the data of the master table 320 and displays a list of the searched data at the bottom of the screen. The search results are automatically stored in a table, and can be output as a graph or map by executing a 'trend map' button or a 'techno / claim map' button. In addition, to view the summary of the searched data, select the desired data from the searched data list, and then execute the 'view summary list' button on the screen of FIG. 8A. Then, the CPU 132 finds the selected data in the master table 320 and displays certain items that make up the gist of the data on the screen as illustrated in FIG. 8.

Another function is the representative name of the applicant's name. Applicant has one entity, but the name is often various. In this case, integrating the applicants represented by various names into one representative name has various advantages in terms of data management. In the tool menu 420 of FIG. 3, when the 'representative name of applicant' menu is executed, as shown in FIG. 9, 'unrepresented applicant name list', 'representative name of applicant' list, 'list of applicant names' and 'applicant' The window for 'representative name' appears. If you select the name of the applicant who has not yet been represented by the representative name, enter the representative name in the window of 'representative name of the applicant', and execute the 'representative name' button, the representative name can be renamed with the designated representative name. As a result of the representative naming, a database relating to the representative name is separately generated and stored in the auxiliary storage means 160.

As another function, a claim low-predictive value processing function is provided. This function is designed to reduce the scope of data that a person needs to judge directly by estimating the extent to which a specific technology is likely to infringe on existing rights and further compressing the range of cases where infringement is expected. to be. First, in FIG. 10, when a user inputs a word of a technology component that is of interest in infringement, and then executes a 'batch processing' button, the CPU 132 receives the entered word and the claims recorded in the master table 320. Perform a comparison with the words in. As a result of the comparison, the higher the matching frequency, the higher the range of infringement predictions. This comparison shows the number of relevant data for each range of infringement estimates. If necessary, the graph can be displayed by executing the 'view graph' button.

On the other hand, in order to analyze the trend of patent / technology R & D on a specific technology topic, it is required to give conditions in various forms, extract information corresponding to the conditions, and visualize it on a graph. In order to meet this need, a 'trend map' is provided in the 'output' menu 430. In order to graph the extracted information, some of the Microsoft Excel programs that support the graphing function are used.

When the 'Excel-chart' menu of the 'trend map' is executed, the basic screen of the 'trend map' as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. In order to output the graph, you must first specify the coordinate axis of the graph. To this end, the user may designate two desired items as coordinate axes in the 'Y, Z axis selection item' of the screen of FIG. 11. The X axis is always the number of cases.

In addition to this, as well as designation of the coordinate axis by the user's selection, the program coordinates the basic coordinate axis combination which is expected to be most necessary to analyze the patent or the R & D trend. As a result, the user simply selects what he / she wants and automatically designates the axes. The basic types of 'R & D analysis basic map' basically provided include 'patent trends by technology by year', 'patent trends by IPC classification by year', 'patent trends by applicant by year', and 'patent ratio by technology' (share ), 'Patent share analysis by IPC classification', 'patent share analysis by applicant' and 'patent trends by priority country by year'. When selecting these output types, a data range to be included may be arbitrarily selected by clicking on a range specifying button relating to technical classification, importance, IPC, applicant, inventor, priority country, and the like. The output graph can be output in 2D or 3D, and the types of graphs provided are bar graph, line graph, area graph, pie graph, and mixed graph.

12A to 12G illustrate a part of the graph output according to the type selected in FIG. 11. First, FIG. 12A is a two-dimensional bar graph when the user selects the announcement year and IPC (Section) as the Y-axis and the Z-axis in the 'Y, Z-axis selection item', respectively. FIG. 12B is a three-dimensional bar graph relating to 'patent trends by technology by year', and shows the relationship of the number of cases by year according to a user-defined technology classification such as process, structure, material, and circuit. FIG. 12C is a three-dimensional bar graph when 'patent trends by year IPC classification' is selected in FIG. 11, and FIG. 12D is a three-dimensional bar graph when 'patent trends by applicants by year' is selected, and FIG. 12E is FIG. 12F is a three-dimensional pie graph when 'patent share analysis by technology' is selected, and FIG. 12F is a three-dimensional pie graph when 'patent share analysis by applicants' is selected.

In particular, the graph output as described above can be obtained not only by the function of the present program, but also by using a spreadsheet application program such as an Excel program. To this end, the program also has the function of extracting the data suitable for the selected graph form from the matrix table and generating it as a computer file for spreadsheet. 12F shows an example in which a three-dimensional pie graph is generated using an extracted spreadsheet file using an Excel program.

Next, in response to the user selecting a patent map to be created from one or more types of patent maps defined in a predetermined form, automatically generating the selected patent map using data included in the activated master table. Explain.

The types of patent maps can be classified into technical information maps used as technical information to identify trends in technology development, selection of research and development topics, discovery of blank technologies, and the spread of technology, and trends of competitors and product development. Policy information maps used as management policy information for understanding the flow of business, developing new applications, identifying market participation, identifying the technical scope, and identifying the inventors' (general talents) trends, identifying the technical scope, identifying the possibility of patent acquisition, and forming a patent network It may be divided into a right information map used as information on a right relation related to the back. Examples of the technology information map include a summary map, radar map, technology distribution map, tempest map, matrix map, road map, and technology correlation map. Examples of policy information map include patent trend map, applicant distribution map, inventor map, and patent sharing. Maps, ranking maps, new entry maps, and business correlation maps. In addition, the right information map includes a patent family map, a configuration requirement map, a claims point map, a rights relation map, and an examination relation map. Such various types of patent maps can be easily implemented as long as the source data is constructed in the form of a master table as in the present invention. Hereinafter, the automatic generation of several patent maps, which may be representative of the above patent maps, will be described.

FIG. 13 is a screen for outputting a patent map, which is a screen when 'techno / claim map' is selected in the output menu 430 of FIG. 3. As can be seen from the screen of FIG. 13, the types of maps that can be output include a matrix map, a road map, a summary map, and the like. Point maps' and 'patent family maps' are provided. The lower part of the screen designates the conditions of map output. The importance of technology, patent-related identification number (for example, registration number, notification number, publication number or application number, etc.), map output coordinate axis designation (combination of coordinate axes provided) IPC: Year, IPC: Applicant, Technology Classification: Year, Technology Classification: Applicant and Applicant: Year, etc., Output type of IPC classification, Patent year (year of application, year of publication, year of publication and year of registration), and scope of output By specifying the conditions of the map output in the menu or the like, a patent map can be generated for data satisfying the desired conditions.

In Figure 13, select the desired type of map, specify the conditions, and execute the 'map output' button. The report type defined in the program ('View as Report') and the output type defined in the Excel program ('View as Excel') The 'Select Form' menu will pop up.

FIG. 14A illustrates an example of outputting a matrix map in a report form by specifying 'IPC classification: year' in the map output designation of FIG. 13 and selecting the 'view as report' button. The illustrated matrix map has a format in which data consisting of a combination of country + identification number + importance is arranged in coordinates with the year and IPC classification on the X and Y axes. The same matrix map can be seen as an output form of an Excel program, which is illustrated in FIG. 14B by way of example.

FIG. 15 exemplarily illustrates a case in which a road map of an output form of an Excel program is output by specifying 'technology classification: year' in the map output designation of FIG. 13 and selecting the 'view in Excel' button. The format of the road map shown is a format in which the technical classification is the Y axis, the year is the X axis, the data consisting of the combination of country + identification number + importance, and the review opinion and other important information are outputted at the same time. Take it.

In order to automatically generate a matrix map or a road map using the data of the master table 320, various necessary tasks must be performed, and the applicant has already disclosed it in detail through Korean Patent Application No. 99-11079. . In order to avoid duplicate descriptions, a detailed description of automatic generation of a patent map will not be described again here, but all of the technical matters disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 99-11079 are included as part of the disclosure of this application. do.

Spreadsheets can also be used to generate various types of patent maps as described above. That is, it is possible to draw a spreadsheet file by extracting data corresponding to a given condition, and read it from the spreadsheet to draw a patent map of a desired form. FIG. 15 is an example of implementing such an example using an Excel program.

On the other hand, Figure 16 shows an example of the output of the 'summary map'. In FIG. 13, when the 'summary map' is selected as the type of map to be outputted and an output command is issued, data such as patent number, applicant, technology code, name of the invention and a summary of the contents are extracted from the master table, and the table as shown in FIG. Output in the form

FIG. 17 exemplarily shows an output screen when the claim point map is selected as the type of the output map in FIG. 13. The data shown in the claim point map is composed of patent number, applicant, technical code, name of invention, claims, right status and low predictive value for each case. Here, the low predicted value is data obtained by performing the claims low predicted value processing in FIG. 10.

When the 'patent family map' is selected as the type of the output map in FIG. 13, the map output as shown in FIG. 18 may be obtained. The data shown in the 'Patent Family Map' consists of patent number, applicant, technology code, name of invention, corresponding patent, designated country and review opinion.

19 exemplarily shows an execution screen of core patent application. Data relating to the core patent is obtained by executing the 'core patent introduction' menu in the tool 420 menu of FIG. Core patents are those that are highly cited by other patents or technologies and are expected to have information about important technologies. Therefore, when the user executes the 'core patent derivation' menu, the CPU 132 searches the cited patent field of the master table 320 to have the data regarding the cited patent according to the number of cited times, that is, the most cited. The results are sorted in the order shown in FIG. 19. The user can recognize a large number of citations as core patents and manage them separately.

The various patent maps having various types and forms shown by way of example above are merely exemplary. When a master table in a database format is constructed for each technical subject as described in the present invention, various modifications are possible as long as the conditions for data to be included in the patent map and the condition designation for the map form are specifically defined.

By using the method of the present invention as described above, it is very easy to build a master table for each technical subject by using the search results obtained from various types of patent / technical data retrieval systems, and a master table constructed for each technical subject. Can then be enriched by continuously updating with additional retrieved data.

In addition, since the present invention provides an output function capable of outputting various types of analysis functions and various types of patent maps or statistical analysis graphs with respect to the constructed master table, information necessary for R & D and management can be obtained quickly and accurately. To make it possible. Conventionally, such a function was not supported, and thus, the patent map had to be created manually by hand, and because much time was required, the expected effect of the patent map was not large compared to the effort. Furthermore, the efficiency of patent map creation was very low, such as having to classify and organize data separately for each type of patent map. As a result, although the attempt to create and utilize the patent map was not activated while knowing the usefulness of the patent map, the present invention can be considered to have a great expectation effect in that it can overcome most of the conventional limitations.

In summary, statistical analysis results on patent maps and various research and development trends can be used to identify trends in technology development, predict the development of core technologies and future technologies, identify blank technologies, prevent infringement of patent rights, overlap investment and overlapping development. It is useful for the prevention of the disease. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and accurately create a patent map, such a useful material, it is possible to give an advantage in the technical competition between companies, which is the ultimate effect that the present invention can bring.

Although the above has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be variously modified and changed within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims below. I can understand that you can.
