Abstract

In this study, we analysed the technology convergence of Internet of Things(IoT) by International Patent Classification(IPC) code analysis. 163 patent applications in Korea are the subjects of this study. We confirmed that the most representative IPC code combinations between Main and Sub categories are G06Q 50/24-G06Q 50/22(6 cases), H04L 29/02-H04L 12/28(4 cases), G06F 15/16-G06F 3/048(3 cases), G06F 15/16-G06F 9/44(3 cases), and G06Q 50/22-G06Q 50/24(3 cases). The field of Health Care business have been prepared 9 patent applications by technology convergence between 'Health Care(G06Q 50/22)' and 'Patient Record Management(G06Q 50/24)'. Finally we also concluded that the core IPC code are G06F 15/16, G06Q 50/22, G06Q 50/24, and H04L 12/28 by the technology convergence interconnections analysis of IoT patent applications.

본 연구에서는 국제특허분류(IPC) 코드를 활용하여 사물인터넷 특허 163건의 기술 융복합을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, IPC 코드의 대표적인 주분류-부분류 조합은 G06Q 50/24-G06Q 50/22(6건), H04L 29/02-H04L 12/28(4건), G06F 15/16-G06F 3/048(3건), G06F 15/16-G06F 9/44(3건), G06Q 50/22-G06Q 50/24(3건)이다. 또한 사물인터넷 특허 중 '건강관리(G06Q 50/22)'와 '환자기록 관리(G06Q 50/24)'의 기술 융복합에 의해 '헬스 케어' 사업 분야의 특허 출원이 9건으로 가장 많았다. 사물인터넷 특허의 상호 연결망 분석에 의해 사물인터넷 특허의 핵심 IPC 코드는 G06F 15/16, G06Q 50/22, G06Q 50/24, H04L 12/28임을 확인하였다.
