摘要:

基于德温特专利数据库，以1998-2017年中美可穿戴设备专利信息为依据，运用社会网络分析方法，对两国可穿戴设备产业合作网络的网络结构和演化规律进行比较研究。结果表明，两国可穿戴产业合作创新网络规模不断扩大，中国专利权人间的合作程度不如美国高。中国企业控制着网络的大部分资源，而美国的个体研究者与少数大型企业共同控制着网络的资源。两国的专利技术领域不断完善，但中国缺乏前端核心专利，可穿戴技术创新的速度落后于美国。总的来说，中国的可穿戴产业发展与美国仍有一定差距，需要个体、企业和政府共同促进合作创新。

Abstract:

Based on the wearable device patent data of Derwent Innovations Index from the year of 1998-2017, using the method of Social Network Analysis, this paper studied and compared the network structure and evolution rules of the cooperative network of wearable industry in China and the United State. The results showed that the scale of wearable industry innovation network in China and the United States have been expanding constantly, but the level of cooperation among Chinese patent holders in China was not as high as that in the United States. Enterprises controlled most of the network resources in China, while individual researchers and a few large enterprises jointly controlled the network resources in the United States. The patent technology fields in both countries were constantly improving, but China lacked of front-end core technology, and the pace of wearable technology innovation lagged behind that of the United States. In general, the development of China's wearable industry still has a certain gap with the United States, requiring individuals, enterprises and the government to jointly promote cooperation and innovation.
