Abstract

Technology opportunity discovery (TOD) based on technological capability is a process which identifies new product and technology items that can be developed by utilizing or improving a firm's existing products or technologies. By taking into consideration the investment risk of R&D and its practicality, developing technological capability-based TOD methodology is considered to be important for both business and research. To this end, we propose a technological capability-based TOD method and its system using TOD knowledge base. The method can support four types of TOD cases, which are based on a firm's existing technologies and products, and TOD knowledge base is developed by using function information extracted from patent documents. In this paper, we introduce the overall framework of the method and provide application examples on the four TOD cases using the prototype system.
