This Function Technology Matrix uses key words “Internet ” and “Communication”
to focus on the patent in every websites.
At the first stage of Function-Technology Matrix – Internet of Things, the technique is divided in Bluetooth、Zigbee、Cellular、NFC and Thread by three different function, which is smart application, remote connection, and efficiency promotion. Whichever the function is, Thread has less proportion of patent, while Bluetooth and Cellular has larger proportion.
After the second stage, the content of the first stage can be seen. Like smart application contains smart city, smart appliances, and smart medication. Remote connection has the wireless control, wireless reception, and cloud storage. The efficiency promotion includes security promotion, signal distinction, and combination of mobile device and information.We can observe that Thread has less proportion of patent, while Bluetooth and Cellular has larger proportion. This fact indicate that companies are study on Bluetooth and Cellular. Though Thread is new and owns less proportion, it is still potential and worths for development.
