Abstract:At present, most of the research on patent map is still in the application stage, the basic theory of its production is less studied. This paper summarize the current patent map categories, analyze the shortcomings of existing patent map constructing methods, improves and proposes a patent map constructing method to the point from the perspective of enhancing the credibility and value of patent map, i.e. mapping unstructured patent document information into low dimensional space by using the statistical features of TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency), clustering by using CFSFDP (clustering by fast search and find of density peaks) algorithm, and analyzes the characteristics of patent documents in the same cluster with unstructured information, obtains the development relationship between different patent documents and map it to a graph, constructs the patent map represented by directed graph. Using both structured information and unstructured information, the proposed method for constructing patent maps is improved, by which the resulting patent maps can more accurately and accurately reflect the technological development process of the target technical field.
