Abstract:

Purpose The quantity of construction technology innovations in patent database grows at a high speed. More challenging technical problems require knowledge workers to make full use of the huge existing technology innovation knowledge base to propose new innovative solutions. Hence, it is critical to deliver the right knowledge to the right people at the right time. To improve innovation efficiency and effectiveness, this research explores the development of a new patent knowledge management system to satisfy the increasing demand of construction innovations. Design/methodology/approach TRIZ-based patent knowledge management system (TPKMS) development involves the integration of construction patent knowledge management, theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ) theory, database techniques and computer programing technology. The contradiction matrix in TRIZ theory serves as the patent knowledge extraction framework, while SQL Server 2000 database management system is employed to manage the extracted patent knowledge, TRIZ and user account information. Visual C++ 6.0 is adopted as the development tool. Findings The developed system to manage construction patent knowledge integrates TRIZ with the database design, enabling the system users to be more problem-focused, systematic and efficient. The system provides a heuristic environment to help improve the innovation effectiveness by motivating knowledge workers’ innovative thinking. Further development of the system is proposed in the context of the age of big data. Originality/value A new TRIZ-based patent knowledge management system for construction technology innovation was developed.

4. Conclusions

This paper describes the development of TPKMS which is a new construction patent knowledge management system with innovation orientation. TPKMS can be used by knowledge workers to identify and explore the technical problems and the possible inventive principles to solve the problems. Besides, considering the characteristics of construction industry, it is important to manage the patent knowledge effectively so as to In contrast, the TPKMS in this paper focus on technology innovation knowledge in the construction industry. All the knowledge is extracted from the public available patents based on TRIZ theory. The aim of the system is to help users to make new technology innovations instead of copying or applying the patents. Even the intellectual property holders of existing patents could utilize the system to improve their innovations. Therefore, the TPKMS is complementary to the previous systems and intellectual property is not an issue. Future research will focus on refining the existing functions and adding new functions to the system. Firstly, the volume of patent knowledge in the construction industry is increasing dramatically in the big data age. Therefore, one research goal is to find the underlying principles based on analysis of the big patent data. So, the challenge for future research is to combine data mining technology with the extracted information from patent data in the database. Secondly, in order to facilitate platform application, the functions of each module should be further improved such as visualization etc. instead of plain text. Last but not least, considering the complicated process of technology innovation, the platform could be integrated with other innovative theories or methods to develop a more efficient tool to motivate knowledge worker's innovative thinking and practice.
