특허정보를 활용한 ICT 기술융합 분석과 발전방향에 관한 연구: 경북지역을 중심으로

The objective of this study is to investigate patent trend of ICT in Kyungbuk area and develop new technology or industry because of the convergence of ICT patent technology as well as other technologies. Then, the strategies for future industry are provided by patent network analysis on technology and industry convergence. Patent information in Kyungbuk area is used for research analysis. Generally, patent data can be classified into several technology codes, IPC Co-occurrence. If there are several IPC codes in single technology, we consider it convergence technology. Pathfinder network analysis is used for grouping IPC codes. Mobile technology is classified into seven groups and display technology is classified into eight groups. ICT industry including mobile and display is evolving rapidly by integrating with other industries. The analysis results shows that PC and telephone will be integrated with other devices. Then, next generation smart devices can be developed by coevolution. Also, ICT industry shall be integrated with traditional manufacturing industry by upgrading ICT infrastructure and networking. The research findings can be applied to forecast the future perspectives of ICT convergence industry. This study addresses on the convergence technology by using objective patent information in Kyungbuk area with proposed network analysis methodology and develops the future road map of ICT industry in Kyungbuk area.
