The study trend and application case of research and development integrated information provision system for small and medium-sized companies

Abstract

In order to enhance the success rate of research and development, various systems, which analyze and verify the value of technologies developed by private and public companies, have been developed. Recently, the methodologies analyzing the trend of future technology are being actively studied. Especially, the studies, which explore future technology in the huge patent documents, which can be said a treasure house of technology information, are increasing. However, the existing systems for it have limitation issues in performance and accuracy. In order to complement the existing methods, this study approaches patent documents by technology-unit instead of utilizing related information by patent-unit. This study draws core keywords through data mining and suggests a method detecting user defined technology trend discovery (UDTTD). As the result, this study developed a research and development integrated information provision system for small and medium-sized companies and an actual application case of the system on a medium-sized company is presented herewith.
