ABSTRACT
Patent documents are an ample source for technical knowledge, and increased dramatically in recent years. This paper aims at identifying and analyzing converging technology based on patent analysis. The identification method of Converging technology is through cluster analysis based on USPC co-occurrence matrix calculated by the cross USPC class patents of five parties during the 2005-2015 years. Finally, 161 converging technologies are identified. Converging technology is mainly distributed in the new generation of information technology, new material industry. High end equipment manufacturing industry is the most active industry in technological convergence.

A synthetical analysis method of measuring technology convergence
Highlights- The construction of an expert decision support system by technology management.
AbstractTechnology convergence, characterized by the blurring of boundaries between technologies, is an inevitable trend in the industry development. Measuring technology convergence trends can assist experts to adjust industry structures and ...
Technology convergence: What developmental stage are we in?
Despite the enthusiasm for technology convergence seen over the last decade in society and the broad consensus on its considerable impact, there is neither any substantive evidence that technology convergence occurs overall nor any objective explanation ...
Generating patent development maps for technology monitoring using semantic patent-topic analysis
A quantified method for patent development map generation is suggested.The method identifies patents' semantic succession and technological topics.Latent Dirichlet allocation is used to identify sub-topics of a given technology.The method visualizes a ...
