특허정보를 이용한 산업별 안전기술개발 동향 분석

Abstract

With the rapid development of industrial technology, the industrial structure has continuously changed through the period of rapid growth. Accordingly, safety technologies have been gradually expanded to apply and converge in various industrial fields, not limited to specific industrial areas. As a result, it became important to analyze and predict trends of safety technologies in order to establish strategies for developing safety technologies by industry and safety technological competitiveness. In particular, since patents are high in accessibility and practicality as a source of technical information, many studies have been carried out on technology prediction using patent information. However, since existing studies using patent analysis often analyze safety technology trends only for specific industries or focus on only one aspect of static or dynamic, comparative analysis of safety technologies developed in different industries in industrial safety field analysis has a difficult threshold. Therefore, this study presents a method of trend analysis of safety technologies by industry, taking into account both static and dynamic aspects through analysis of indicators using patent information. Specifically, patent documents containing safety-related keywords are collected from the WIPSON database to extract patent data contained in the industry under analysis. Afterwards, the development trends of safety technologies by industry are identified and analyzed through the analysis of indicators such as marketability, growth, activation, etc. suitable for industrial field. In addition, the results of various indicator analyses of safety technologies are visualized to facilitate objective comparative analysis between safety technologies to businesses and technology developers who need to understand the technology. As a result, it is expected that the safety manager will use the patent analysis of safety technologies to provide information to companies and technology developers, helping them develop safety technologies that are applicable to practice and predict future promising technologies.
