The steps and methods judging device promising using a promising technology life cycle

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for determining a stage using a technology lifecycle, and the stage determination apparatus including a storage and a processor comprises: a bibliographic database for integrating heterogeneous resources; a feature set creation module for calculating feature values of predefined features by searching the bibliographic database, and creating a feature set of each technology using the calculated feature values, for technologies positioned on a technology lifecycle; an answer feature set creation module for calculating a common feature value of feature sets of technologies belonging to the same stage in the technology lifecycle and creating an answer feature set of each stage; a stage determination module for, if a specific technology is inputted, acquiring feature values and creating a feature set for predefined features by searching the bibliographic database for the specific technology, comparing a corresponding feature value contained in the feature set of the specific technology with a feature value according to a feature selection flow set in a previously constructed decision tree according to the feature selection flow set in the decision tree, and determining a stage having a feature value finally selected according to the feature selection flow of the decision tree as a stage where the specific technology belongs to in the technology lifecycle. Therefore, according to the present invention, although a specific technology does not exist in the technology lifecycle, a stage where the specific technology lifecycle belongs to in the technology lifecycle can be determined using various kinds of bibliographic databases.
