Abstract:Patent information of global vein recognition is analyzed with Orbit database and incoPat analyzing tool, including the construction of retrieval strategy, analysis of patent application trend, distribution of application and technology origin, analysis of competition status, mining and analysis of core patents, providing references for domestic research. Analysis results show that reaches of improvements of finger vein authentication system and recognition of vein image features are focused, and Japan and South Korea have strong research capabilities in such fields, each of which has own core patent. Although China has the largest number of patent applications in this technology field, the core patent is relatively low, core creative ability should be improved.
