Research on the development trend of global face recognition industry on the basis of patent analysis

The paper made trend analysis on global patent in the field of face recognition by taking advantage of retrieval and analysis tool of Innography, conducted specific comparison on high-intensive patents of three countries, China, America and Korea which were top three in number of global patent applications, and analyzed existent advantages and gap in patent application and layout in China. Although our country started later in the field of face recognition, it had been prosperous development trend on number of patent applications due to technology innovation and policy support. In terms of high-intensive patent, there was a certain gap with the United States. Accordingly, This paper proposed suggestions for face recognition technology in China: To improve quality of patent application; to strengthen cooperation among enterprises, universities and other scientific research institutions in order to realize a win-win situation; To fully cultivate the talents of face recognition and artificial intelligence.
