Patent retrieval method and system

Abstract

The invention relates to a patent search method and a patent search system. The system architecture comprises a patent search interface, at least one patent database and an agent executive program. The invention establishes in advance at least one search schedule data by means of the search method processed by the system and saves the search schedule data into the patent database. Then the invention makes use of the agent executive program to gain the search schedule data of the patent database and automatically links and logs in the patent database of different countries according to the search schedule data to process a search operation, and then gain at least one patent literature corresponding with the search schedule data, so as to effectively improve searching convenience and searching validity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a patent retrieval method and its system, in particular to using a patent retrieval interface to set at least one retrieval schedule data, and then automatically linking to patent databases in different countries by means of an agent execution program to complete the retrieval Patent retrieval method and system for operation. Background technique [0002] At present, the patent websites (patent search systems) set up by the patent agencies of various countries generally provide a patent document search webpage (patent database), and the patent document search webpage has at least one search column, which is used to provide a searcher in the search field. Enter various keywords such as patent title, application year, announcement year or applicant name in the field to obtain at least one electronic file of patent documents that meet the search criteria. The patent documents can be patent specifications, patent publicatio...

Problems solved by technology

On the whole, because the searcher cannot search the patent documents of several countries at the same time, and the searcher must manually repeat the cumbersome steps of inputting URLs, clicking several hyperlink paths, and entering search conditions.

Therefore, the retrieval process will consume a considerable amount of human resources and retrieval time, resulting in a significant reduction in retrieval efficiency

[0006] 2. Low search accuracy: patent documents in various countries are usually updated regularly, but when the searcher completes the search operation at a specific time, if the follow-up search operation is not continued in the follow-up, it is easy to cause the previously retrieved patent documents to be different from the latest ones. The number and content of patent documents do not match

If it is necessary to search for the same search conditions in the future, in addition to the inconvenience caused by having to repeat the previous search steps, some patent documents obtained by the search will still be duplicated with the patent documents obtained by the previous search, thus causing human resources. wasteful, uneconomical
