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

1 is a block diagram of a patent information analysis system according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1, the patent information analysis system according to the present invention comprises an inventor computer (10a, 10b, ..., 10n-hereinafter, collectively referred to as 10) and a server computer 20.

The inventor computer 10 is coupled to the server computer 20 through the network 30, and then transfers the content information required for troubleshooting or invention in each invention procedure to the server computer 20, the server computer 20 ) To receive keyword information corresponding to the content information. In the present specification, the user terminal is referred to as the inventor computer 10, but any limitation is not limited to a device (for example, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile communication terminal, etc.) capable of performing the above functions in addition to the computer. Of course, the same can be applied without. In addition, the inventor's computer 10 and the server computer 20 are connected via the communication network 30. Examples of the connection method include a TCP / IP method, a PPP method, and the like.

The server computer 20 is a central terminal installed in a company that provides patent information analysis and classification service. The server computer 20 extracts a keyword from the content information received from the inventor computer 10 and transmits the keyword to the inventor computer 10. The relevant reference patent information is retrieved and provided to the inventor computer 10. It is obvious that the server computer 20 may be implemented as one server device, and may also be implemented as a system in which a plurality of devices are combined.

Knowledge-based information that can be applied to the present invention may include patent information, article information, news articles, and the like. In this specification, the knowledge-based information will be described based on the case where the information is patent information.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a functional module and a data processing procedure of the server computer 20 of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server computer 20 processes the raw data received from the inventor computer 10 (for example, patent office data, etc.) into a predetermined form by using the processing module 50, and then the patent database. Save at 60. The raw material 40 may be included in the subject file received from the inventor computer 10. When the raw material 40 is received from the inventor computer 10, the processing module 50 is a means for performing a processing procedure of the predetermined raw material 40 such as raw data analysis, collection, protocol inspection, and conversion.

The processing module 50 for processing the raw material 40 may include bibliographic matters such as the name of the invention, a patent number, and the like so that an inventor or a manager (for example, raw material processor, etc.) may facilitate a patent classification work. Generate patent information including body summary information (i.e., summarizing the "constituent" portion of the invention).

The index module 80 retrieves the patent information and accessory information collected using the stopword dictionary 70 and the term dictionary 90, a search module 100, a patent information analysis module (not shown), and an automatic classification module (not shown). And indexes according to a predetermined database table specification so as to be applied to the index word database 110. These indexing methods include the automatic indexing method and the manual indexing method. The automatic indexing method extracts keywords through pre-reference morphological analysis of the data processed by the processing module 50 using file information, and indexes the procedure of updating the indexed keywords in the index file / surgery / text file. As an approach, there is an advantage in that it can be indexed in batches without manual work of the indexer. The manual indexing method is a method in which a manager (eg, indexer, etc.) indexes processed data one record unit for each indexing procedure. The manual indexing method can be divided into a fully manual method in which the administrator extracts terms directly from the data, and a semi-automatic index method in which the administrator checks and corrects the records automatically by record unit. In the present embodiment, a description will be given focusing on the case of using the automatic indexing method.

The search module 100 is a module for searching for patent information corresponding to a search expression or a natural language query designated by a searcher (for example, an inventor or a manager). The search method is classified classification that accesses the classification group such as IPC classification and target classification according to the type and performs classification, term search using logical function of keywords, field search using index attribute by field, text by natural language query Search, citation search for specific patent data and citation search for citations. Invention files received from the inventor computer 10 (e.g., files stored in user files as data searched and / or analyzed for a specific purpose in a search and analysis system, etc.) include searched and analyzed result data lists. It is. In this embodiment, the term search method was used.

The mapping module 120 classifies the retrieved patent information into semantic clusters and outputs them in a map form. The mapping module 120 provides a method for semantic classification of existing inventions, reinforcement and completion of existing ideas as a tool for intellectualizing patent information. The function of the mapping module 120 for reinforcing and completing the inventive idea will be described in detail in the following description of each drawing.

The project management module 130 is used to integrate and manage the invention idea files organized by the plurality of inventors. The merged target file is created as the user file 140.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, the inventor computer 10 transmits the invention object file selection signal and the invention step selection signal to the server computer 20 (S300). For example, the inventor connects to the server computer 20, and selects the inventor's idea mapping menu on the initial screen of the website displayed on the inventor's computer 10 screen. Then, on the inventor's computer mapping service screen displayed on the inventor's computer 10 screen, the target file related to the subject to be invented is selected (that is, the invention target file is selected), and then the invention stage is selected (that is, the invention stage selection). (See FIG. 4). The invention step is a step-by-step representation of the process by which the inventor materializes a specific technical idea into the invention. For example, it may be possible to divide the procedure into an analysis phase, an operation phase, and a synthesis phase.

The inventor's computer 10 transmits the detailed step selection signal and the content information regarding the detailed step to the server computer 20 (S310). For example, the inventor may select an invention step using the invention idea mapping service screen displayed on the inventor computer 10 display unit, select a detailed step of the selected invention step, and fill in the contents of the detailed step. Here, the contents include the problem solving and invention derivation such as a goal, a problem definition, a problem solving condition, and the like. Here, the invention step and the detailed steps may be set in advance by an administrator (for example, an operator) of the server computer 20 or may be set by the inventor. The inventor sets the invention steps and detailed steps will be described with reference to FIG.

The server computer 20 extracts at least one index word from the content information received from the inventor computer 10 and transmits the extracted index word to the inventor computer 10 (S320 and 330). The server computer 20 may extract the index word in various ways. For example, a method of extracting only nouns or extracting only nouns repeated a predetermined number of times from nouns may be performed by morphological analysis of the contents written by the inventor. It would also be possible to use neural network techniques to learn languages for specific information, to recognize subjects and to extract index words.

The inventor computer 10 receives a search expression from the inventor and transmits it to the server computer 20 (S340 and 350). The inventor may select one or more words that are considered keywords from the search terms received from the server computer 20 or input one or more words that are considered to be suitable for the contents to create a search expression. Of course, if more than one word is selected or input, the inventor may complete the search expression through a combination of logical operators (eg, AND, OR, etc.).

The server computer 20 extracts the patent information satisfying the received search expression and transmits the patent information to the inventor's computer (S360 and 370). The inventor selects appropriate patent information from the patent information extracted by the server computer 20 and stores it as reference patent information. This is to enable the inventor to access the problem solution by referring to the patent information related to his invention.

The inventor's computer 10 transmits the route information of the reference figure or the reference document to the server computer 20 (S380). If the inventor has drawings or document information related to his or her invention and wishes to upload such information to the server computer 20, the route information where the related drawings or document information are located is transmitted to the server computer 20. The information can be uploaded to the server computer 20.

The server computer 20 stores path information of the received reference drawing or reference document in a target file in association with the above detailed steps (S390).

If the inventor computer transmits all view request signals to the server computer 20, the server computer 20 is associated with the content information of all the invention steps corresponding to the file to be invented and all the detailed steps dependent thereon and the detailed steps. The extracted reference patent, reference drawings, and reference document information are extracted and transmitted to the inventor computer (S400, 410, 420).
