Abstract

This study deals with the analysis of the technology association rules between CPC codes of the Internet of Things(IoT) patent, the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution ICT-based technology. The association rules between CPC codes were extracted using R, an open source for data mining. To this end, we analyzed 369 of the 605 patents related to the Internet of Things filed with the Patent Office until July 2019, with a complex CPC code, up to the subclass-level. As a result of the technology association rules, CPC codes with high support were [H04W ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](18.2%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ H04W](18.2%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](17.3%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](17.3%), [H04W ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](9.8%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ H04W](9.8%), [G06F ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](7.9%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ G06F](7.9%), [G06F ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](6.2%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ G06F](6.2%). After analyzing the technology interconnection network, the core CPC codes related to technology association rules are G06Q and H04L. The results of this study can be used to predict future patent trends.

본 연구는 4차 산업혁명 ICT 기반기술의 핵심인 사물인터넷 특허의 CPC 코드 기반 기술 연관성 규칙 분석에 관한 것이다. 데이터 마이닝을 위한 오픈 소스인 R을 이용하여 CPC 코드간 기술 연관성 규칙을 도출하였다. 이를 위해 2019년 7월까지 특허청에 출원된 사물인터넷(Internet of Things) 관련 특허 605건 중 복합 CPC 코드를 가지는 369건을 대상으로 서브클래스(Subclass) 수준까지 분석하였다. 기술 연관성 규칙 분석 결과 지지도가 높은 CPC 코드는 [H04W ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](18.2%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ H04W](18.2%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](17.3%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](17.3%), [H04W ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](9.8%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ H04W](9.8%), [G06F ${\rightarrow}$ H04L](7.9%), [H04L ${\rightarrow}$ G06F](7.9%), [G06F ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](6.2%), [G06Q ${\rightarrow}$ G06F](6.2%), [G06F ${\rightarrow}$ G06Q](6.2%) 순이고, CPC 코드간 상호 연결망을 분석한 결과 기술 연관성 관련 핵심 CPC 코드는 G06Q와 H04L이다. 본 연구 결과를 활용하면 앞으로의 특허 경향을 예상해 볼 수 있다.
