Introduction
Background£º

?Service industries are growing up.
?Governments of major countries have been taking measures to promote
  service engineering to support those industries.

Service industries are
?less advanced in the establishment of definitions
?classification methods in comparison to manufacturing industries.
ex) At the present day, IPC(international Patent Classification) which can
    identify service industries is not exist.


Patent analysis is often employed as a methodology of trend survey of
     technology field.
Then
It is currently hard to learn how innovations are in service technologies from
     definition and classification of patent information system.
Purpose and Focus
We assume that it is impossible that identifying
? a main technological fields by Extracting words that frequently
appear in dataset
?a recent technological trend by Extracting time-trend of these
words.
Purpose:
Try to extract
? main technological fields and
? recent technological trends
of service industry using the method of natural language processing
   analysis(TF/IDF) of patent gazette.

One of most major fields in Service industries
                ¡°Distribution Service¡±
Definition and Database
Definition:
Patents include words ¡°logistic¡±, ¡°supply chain¡± or ¡°value chain¡±
In ¡°title of the invention¡± or ¡°abstract¡±
as patent gazette related with ¡°distribution service¡± in service
industries.
Query £º

?First Technology related with RFID
was invented in 1950s.
It was for administration or
management of firming animal in

Conclusion
? confirmed the trends with applications for approval of these patents,
    identifying the corresponding categories of technology in the IPC.
? confirmed a rapid growth in RFID, which has been attracting attention
    of many recently from a timeline analysis.
then
It was usable for distribution service fields that using the method of NLP
    analysis based on patent database in order to extract main
    technological fields and recent technological trends.


? one of the reason of rapid growth in RFID is assumed founded of EPC
   global.
Then
Technological standardization in WW will be one of a key factor in also
   other field of service industries.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Policy Proposal
? the improvement of research infrastructure for
  service industries

? a system / definition which promotes service
  innovations based on international relationships

? a proper consideration of establishment and renewal
  for technological standards that promote re-
  development in service industries.

Service industries are ?less advanced in the establishment of definitions ?classification methods in comparison to manufacturing industries. ex) At the present day, IPC(international Patent Classification) which can identify service industries is not exist. Patent analysis is often employed as a methodology of trend survey of technology field. Then It is currently hard to learn how innovations are in service technologies from definition and classification of patent information system.
