Abstract:Because the relevant?features of patents, a?judging?method of high value patents based on the theories of functional analysis from TRIZ and ideal level was proposed,?which explain the?patent?value from?the?technological?point?of?view, and it can analysis advantages and disadvantages of local technology. Firstly, screen patents and clean data from the inventory?of?patents by objective quantitative index; Secondly, summarize the function of?the?system from the target area of patents, and divide?function?modules. The function component’s relevant attributes were extracted to compute evaluation value of the index about function, performance, cost and harmful function. The adjustment?factor between the index of cost and harmful function was determined with the method of maximum deviation and entropy, and then compute the evaluation value of functional modules and final evaluation value of patent by the formula of ideal level. Finally, the method was applied to evaluate pipeline robots to validate the feasibility of the method.
