Below specify the present invention, see also shown in Fig. 1 G, this figure is a patent data mining method embodiment schematic flow sheet of the present invention.In this embodiment; This method 2 includes the following step; At first with step 20 a patent group is provided, sets up one by this patent group and quote network as proof, wherein this is quoted as proof and has a plurality of bindings in the network; Each binding is set up by wantonly two patent cases with citation relations and is formed, and selects this to quote the settlement in the network as proof again.With basis, the settlement selected as subsequent treatment.
See also shown in Figure 2ly, this figure is that the network first embodiment synoptic diagram is quoted in foundation of the present invention as proof.The mode of setting up is at first sought out a patent group with step 200 according at least one search condition in a database, it has a plurality of patent cases.In this step, this database can be the patent database that is had in each State Intellectual Property Office, for example: United States Patent (USP) database or European Union's patent database etc.; In addition, the database that this database also can be set up for business software, for example: Delphion patent database etc., but not as limit.In step 20; This search condition can include keyword (keyword), IC sign indicating number (International patent classification; IPC), application number (applicationnumber), publication number (publication number), notification number (issue number), applicant (applicant), inventor (inventor) or aforesaid combination in any etc., but not as restriction.This keyword can be a lists of keywords of storage in advance.
Result after step 20 is carried out, shown in Fig. 3 A, this figure is according to the resulting result for retrieval synoptic diagram of a keyword.The combination of a plurality of patent cases of gained is the S of this patent group after the retrieval.Though be noted that citedly among Fig. 3 A to be the United States Patent (USP) notification number, each patent case can or be got permission the bulletin case of patent for the open case of patent application case, and does not exceed with United States Patent (USP).But have only the full patent texts data in U.S.'s bulletin patent database just to have the complete data of quoting as proof in the at present free patent database, therefore, method proposed by the invention is only applicable to the United States Patent (USP) announced at present.
Return shown in Figure 2ly, after the step 200, then carry out step 201, judge whether the S of this patent group is suitable group.
Whether one of judgment mode is suitable for the patent case quantity that is contained according to the S of this patent group; If very little, then representative maybe be in step 200, and the search condition that is adopted is also inappropriate; Therefore need return step 200 defines search condition again, again retrieval again.That is, preestablish a case number of packages amount, judge whether the patent case quantity that retrieval obtains reaches this predefined caseload, if do not reach, change search condition, retrieval again if reach, is carried out subsequent step.The step of this change search condition can be included in chooses another keyword in the lists of keywords, or directly chooses keyword outer other search conditions and combination thereof.
A kind of in addition practice is to set up one " Auditing Section " (benchmark set) at first in advance; Auditing Section has comprised at least one and has known relevant target patent case P; Then when each adjustment search condition, judgement " whether result for retrieval is suitable ", check all whether the patent group that retrieves has incorrect eliminating or filter out the patent of " Auditing Section " lining.If get rid of or filter out the patent of this " Auditing Section " lining, be regarded as adjusting search condition.Target patent case P can or get permission the bulletin case of patent for the open case of patent application case.
See also Fig. 2 A and be the functional structure module map of patent data mining of the present invention system 100.
Specifically; In this embodiment; Comprise further in this patent group acquiring unit 11 that a updating block 111 is with execution in step 201; This updating block 111 is used to judge whether this patent group that retrieves comprises this target patent case (and/or judging whether this patent group that retrieves reaches predetermined caseload scope), as not, then adjusts this search condition; Again produce a patent group, comprise this target patent case (and/or reaching predetermined caseload scope) up to the patent group that is produced.
For example, represent optimal patent group with the oblique line scope A of Fig. 3 B.If use incorrect search condition, then possibly obtain patent group, just so can omit some patents like the scope representative of C or D.If search condition is suitable, then can obtain the patent group that scope contained, in then can scope A being included in like area B or E.
Return shown in Figure 2; If the S of this patent group is suitable by judgement; Then with step 202, according to the result for retrieval of Fig. 3 A, open case or bulletin case that the content of each patent case that can in this patent group, be had is quoted; And the formed relevance of quoting as proof of related art of juror's row of carrying in checking process, set up one between two patent cases of citation relations and link and to quote network as proof having to form one.When patent A was quoted by patent B, certain information of patent A (a piece ofknowledge) was " being correlated with " as far as patent B basically, for example maybe A was the improvement of B or for identical problem, A has adopted the practice different with B.From the angle of " information flow " (information flow), can imagine that this " a piece of knowledge " is from patent A " flow direction " patent B.Therefore represent that with linking patent A and patent B are two nodes (node), and the binding of A and B is to use from A to B an arrow (arrow) to represent, has represented " a piece of knowledge " from A " flow direction " B.Note that aforesaid " citation relations " can be to adopt so-called forward direction to quote (forward citation) or back as proof to quoting (backward citation) the two one of them as proof.
Shown in Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C, this figure is for quoting network diagram as proof.According to the result for retrieval of Fig. 3 A, the network packet of quoting as proof of utilizing step 202 to obtain contains a plurality of settlements (cluster), and present embodiment is three (Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C).Wantonly two patent cases in the settlement must have direct or indirect citation relations.Return shown in Figure 2ly,, quote as proof in the settlement that network comprises, the patent case number that contains according to each settlement, or whether have and comprise target patent case P to select suitable settlement by this then with step 203.
For example; With target patent case P is US.Pat.No.4; 310,211 is example, when in these a plurality of settlements, selecting suitable settlement conduct to quote network as proof; Mainly contain several kinds of situation: first kind for target patent case P fully not in any settlement, for example in Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C, can not find target patent case P fully.
Second kind belongs to one of them settlement really for target patent case P, but the patent quantity of this settlement seldom, and for example, Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C are the little settlements of quantity.The third is the target patent case and is in the settlement of suitable size, shown in the settlement of Fig. 4 A.If belong to first kind with second kind situation, represent that then search condition is inappropriate, therefore need come back to step 20 again and retrieve.Because in the present embodiment; Target patent case P does not appear in the settlement among Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C; Therefore can reject the settlement of Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C; The settlement size at that will be estimated and target patent case P place suitably, therefore with the settlement (shown in Fig. 4 A) of containing this target patent case P as quoting network as proof.Owing among target patent case P do not appear among Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C, therefore can reject Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C, and with Fig. 4 A as the foundation of analysis next.Note that quoting network as proof can comprise one or more settlement, and also can be regarded as be a child network (sub-network) of quoting as proof in the network in the settlement.In other words, a settlement itself also is a sub-network.In this manual, " sub-network " is synonym with " settlement " two speech in fact.
Fig. 2 B is the functional structure module map of patent data mining of the present invention system 100.
In this embodiment; This citation analysis unit 12 further comprises a settlement selected cell 123, and this settlement selected cell 123 is used for according to an alternative condition, from a plurality of settlements that this patent group forms, selects one; This alternative condition comprises a patent case quantity and/or a target patent case; This settlement selected cell selector is should the settlement of patent case quantity, and/or, select to comprise the settlement of this target patent case.
Return shown in Fig. 1 G, step 20 is selected after at least one suitable settlement, and each that then gives in this settlement with step 21 links a weighted value.In step 21; The mode that gives weight has a variety of; For example, the weighted value of each binding all is 1, or links number scale (search pathlink count with search path; SPLC) or the search path node (search path node pair SPNP) calculates each and links the weight had to method.
In one embodiment; Shown in Fig. 2 B; This citation analysis unit 12 comprises that a search path binding numeration unit 121 or a search path node are to unit 122 (not shown); This search path links numeration unit 121 and is used for giving weighted value according to search path binding number scale for each binding, and this search path node is used for giving weighted value to method for each binding according to the search path node to unit 122.
See also shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B, this figure is respectively and utilizes SPLC or SPNP to link the weight synoptic diagram.The mode of SPLC at first is described, in Fig. 5 A,, two node A and B (each node is represented patent announcement case or the open case of patent) is arranged on the right side that links 90 for linking for 90; And can reach four node E, G, I and J in the left side that links 90, therefore the weight of this binding 90 is 4x2=8.In addition; Shown in Fig. 5 B, when calculating the weight of binding 91, for the node D of binding 91 with SPNP; Its right-hand member has three node A~C to pass through to link 91 and arrives at node D; And as far as node C, it can pass through and link 91 and arrive at seven node D~J, and therefore linking 91 weight is 3x7=21.The weight result that step 21 calculated is as shown in Figure 6.
Return shown in Figure 1ly, then, link the weighted value that is had according to each, calculate among the suitable settlement S ' that picks out a centrality index about each patent case had with step 22.
The centrality index of present embodiment be proper vector centrality (eigenvector centrality, EC).Because patent citation is formed quotes the community network (socialnetwork) that network can be regarded as a kind of broad sense as proof, and centrality (centrality) is considerable notion in the social network analysis, is used for weighing the importance of each node in the network.And the employed proper vector centrality of present embodiment, it can be applied to directivity and have in the network of weight.And proper vector centrality has unique characteristic, that is the importance of node is directly proportional with the heavily effect property that node had of all sensings, and for example, in the patent citation network, by the patent of an important patent citation, then its importance also can significantly increase.Therefore, the patent that centrality is high is not to determine by quoting number (citation count) as proof, but is decided by the location prominence of this patent in quoting network as proof.
Next explain how centrality index acquiring unit 13 calculates the method for this centrality index.The central conceptual illustration of proper vector is following, supposes to have the network of a n node, and it has the weight matrix A that binding constitutes.Each elements A in matrix A JkRepresentation node k points to the weight of node j.In matrix, cornerwise element is all zero.Hypothesis has the vectorial I of a n element, each the element I among the wherein vectorial I again jRepresent the importance (rank score) of corresponding nodes j.Since the notion of proper vector centrality (EC) be each node importance should with form a proportionate relationship after all node importances that point to this node be multiplied by the weight of corresponding binding, shown in (1):
c · I j = Σ k A jk · I k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 1 )
Wherein, c represents a proportionality constant, and formula (1) with matrix notation, is promptly become suc as formula shown in (2):
c·I=A·I.......................................(2)
Can find out that by formula (2) c is the eigenwert (eigenvalue) of matrix A, and I is proper vector (eigenvector).Can obtain n according to formula (2) and separate, and wherein biggest characteristic value characteristic of correspondence vector I has the index meaning.According to above-mentioned explanation, be example with the settlement S ' that Fig. 6 was set up with binding weight, the proper vector I in the formula (2) is the formed vector matrix of the node of representing each to represent the patent case.And each elements A in the matrix A Ij, then in the representative graph 6, the weight that node i binding 92 of going out node j pointed is had, the cornerwise element in this matrix A, then representation node points to ownly, therefore is zero.
When wanting calculating formula (2), utilize solution by iterative method usually, that is give initial value of all elements in the proper vector I earlier.Because the element in the matrix A is known,, therefore can calculate eigenwert c as each links pairing value among Fig. 6.Adjust the value that all elements is had in the next proper vector I again, utilize iterative repetition to carry out computing, till proper vector I converges to a fixed value.Because each proper vector I that converges to fixed value can correspond to an eigenwert c; Therefore be worth the pairing value of each element (centrality index) in the pairing proper vector I by having biggest characteristic among these a plurality of eigenwert c again, as value or the importance that each node had among Fig. 6.Because the value that proper vector I had through formula (2) is found the solution out can correspond to importance or value that each node (patent) is had, can learn relative worth and importance that each node is had with respect to this settlement S ' thus.
Return shown in Fig. 1 G; After the step 22; Also comprise step 23, utilize this automatic Evaluation and recognition unit 14 to judge whether that patent case has known value (that is, whether in storer, search relevant for the patent case in the patent group associated value record); If it's not true, the relative evaluation index of centrality index in this settlement that is then had with a target patent case that is had in the step 24 calculating settlement.As shown in Figure 7, this figure is the relative worth synoptic diagram.For example: the pairing value of all elements in the proper vector I can be set up out a percentile rank (percentile rank, PR) table.Therefore this tabulation demonstrates in the settlement, and the drop point site of each patent can be learnt by this table, centrality desired value and drop point site that the target patent case is had, and then can judge this target patent case for importance that this settlement had.In other words; The distribution of the centrality desired value all centrality desired values in the settlement that had for target patent case P; For example: the proper vector centrality value of target patent case is to be positioned at precedingly 10%, and an objective appraisal can be arranged, and represents the relative importance or the value of target patent case representative in quoting network as proof; That is, assert that be positioned at preceding 10% patent case is target data.Otherwise; If in step 23; If there is patent case to have known definite value, then can step 25 utilize centrality index and this of this target patent case to have the ratio of centrality desired value between the patent case of confirming to be worth, calculate the value that this target patent case is had; That is, this has the value multiple of the patent case of confirming value to this target patent case relatively.
