The present invention relates to a scalable technology / path search service system and a method for searching for an expandable path.

In general, companies or research institutes use research papers and patent information to find research and development technologies.

Patent information is a collection of technical collective intelligence, a valuable human asset that has the characteristics that most of the world's technical knowledge is first disclosed as a patent. By exploring this patent information effectively, we can find a pattern of research and development technology or technology convergence. Therefore, each company analyzes the intellectual property rights of competitors using patent trend analysis system, and strives to establish its own research and development strategy.

In the conventional patent trend analysis system, a patent trend analysis method that does not focus on technology classification by a user is used. That is, a method of performing patent trend analysis by automatically classifying a technology by IPC classification or the like without using a technical classification of patent data by a user is used. When a user's selection is involved in the technology classification, several main words are selected in advance. Use

The technology classification method of the conventional patent trend analysis system has a problem in the relevance to the patent search and the accuracy of the technology classification itself, and in particular, there is a disadvantage that cannot accommodate the diversity of the technology classification according to the analysis purpose.

The patent trend analysis system that supports some automatic technology classification simply extracts keywords from the entire patent document by text mining technique and uses technology classification according to the frequency of the keywords. There is a problem falling.

On the other hand, attempts to map conventional technology, science or knowledge have focused on the role of ex post analysis of the results of technological innovation activities. In other words, much research has been conducted to examine the changes in the composition and properties of the map itself as a product of technological innovation, but few studies use the map literally as the basis of 'navigation'.
