從專利分析探討物聯網發展趨勢－以無線感測器網路為例

Abstract

物聯網於近幾年成為全球的熱門話題，特別是中國大陸更為熱衷，國務院總理溫家寶多次公開說明其重要性，而IBM、中國移動等國際大廠也大量投入資源研究，無線感測網路便是相關技術中關鍵的一環。本研究擬以專利分析研究無線感測技術，藉由閱讀整理相關專利說明書，了解該技術在專利上的發展現況與未來發展，進一步解析其技術及專利權人的專利佈局方式，透過專利分析所得資訊提供台灣相關技術廠商投資及研發的方向。本研究針對美國專利劑商標局資料庫透過文獻回顧、專利檢索、專利分析，得出經營管理之專利地圖，發現中國大陸的物聯網議題雖然炒得火熱，但並沒有相對應之專利實力來獨力發展物聯網產業，仍須借重具有技術能力且佈局完整的國際大廠來建立物聯網園區及制定相關技術標準，而台灣廠商目前也沒有專利實力，擁有的仍是代工製造能力，建議在近年兩岸關係良好時，早期進駐中國大陸相關科技園區及成為政府合作對象，成為中國大陸的合作夥伴而非僅是採購對象。

Things of internet has become a hot topic around the world in recent years, especially in mainland China. Then, wireless sensor networks are the key in its related technologies. Therefore, this study intends to study wireless sensor networks by patent analysis, to understand wireless sensor networks on the technology development status and future development of patent, further, to analyze its technology and patentee's patent layout. To provide information for investment and R & D direction of Taiwan-related technology firms by patent analysis. This study use literature review, patent search, and patent analysis of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database agent to obtain the management of the patent map. Though things of internet in China is so hot, China doesn’t have the corresponding patent power to develop industries of IOT alone. China still has to draw on the international companies which have technical competence and integrity patent layout to build park of IOT and develop relevant technical standards. However, Taiwan’s firms only have OEM manufacturing capacity without patent competence. We recommended that Taiwan’s firms become China’s partners rather than sellers by stationed in China-related science parks and government partner when relations across the Taiwan Straits is good.
