In recent years, unmanned driving has become more than a hot spot in the automotive industry, but has gradually become a hot topic in the whole society. Besides its huge economic potential, its social benefits are also huge, so from the various multinational auto companies to various The state has begun to pay attention to the development of unmanned driving, and one of the most important points is the application for patents for driverless related technologies. Let's take a look at the related content with the car electronics editor.

The patent reflects the trend of global technological innovation and can provide effective information support for industrial development decision-making. Enterprises can not only convert patents into commercial value, but also use it as an international market to suppress competitor weapons. Recently, Tsinghua University Global Industry 4.5 Research Institute released a report on “Intelligent Networked Automotive Technology Global Patent Watch” (hereinafter referred to as the report), which reports on the number, main body and characteristics of patent applications for smart connected cars. The analysis provides reference and reference for China's future automotive interconnection patent applications.

In the global smart connected car field, whether it is a traditional car company, a cross-border car manufacturer or a technology-driven start-up company, they are competing to accelerate the research and development of related technologies to capture this emerging market. Among them, patent is one of the most easily quantifiable indicators to measure the innovation ability of enterprises. Through the collection and analysis of the technology patent big data related to the global intelligent connected automobile field, it is possible to understand the hot research direction of the global intelligent connected automobile field, countries and major enterprises. In terms of technical strength and layout focus in this field, it is also possible to predict the technological development trend of the future intelligent networked automobile field through patent data, and possible technical blanks. This has great reference value for China's related enterprises to establish research and development direction, seek technical cooperation, and carry out patent layout.

â– The patent is generally in a high mode

Intelligent networked cars are called "artificial intelligence on wheels". Intelligent and networked are the two main lines of intelligent networked vehicles. Intelligentization mainly refers to automatic driving based on vehicle sensors, including driverless and auxiliary. Driving, networking refers to communication interconnection, including car networking and in-vehicle communication systems. According to the report, in recent years, the number of patent applications for intelligent networked automotive technology has shown a rapid upward trend. From the perspective of technology distribution, driver early warning systems, active traffic collision avoidance, optical observation devices, unclassified collision avoidance systems, Fields such as driving assistance collision avoidance, navigation systems, line keeping control, and remote communication have become hot spots for research and development. At present, there are more than 45,000 patent applications for global intelligent network vehicles, including 32,000 patent applications in the past ten years, accounting for more than 70%. After 2009, the number of patent applications has skyrocketed, with an annual growth rate of nearly 20%. The report shows that the number of patent applications for the driver warning system and the active traffic collision avoidance category has been the highest in the past 10 years.

â–  Nearly 95% of patents are concentrated in five countries

Looking at the world, China has become the country with the largest number of patents in this field, accounting for 37% of the world's 32,000 patents, followed by Japan, the United States, Germany and South Korea, accounting for 20%, 16%, 12% and 7% respectively. The five countries together account for nearly 95% of the world's patents. Benefiting from the government's policy support for patent applications, the number of patent applications filed by Chinese enterprises in the field of intelligent networked cars has surpassed that of Europe and the United States. However, in the hotspot technology direction, the gap between China and developed countries is still inferior, and China is “going out”. "There are very few patents. In the collection of TI core board patents (that is, only European and American patents and Japanese and Korean patents are included), Oude Japan has a proportion of 80%, and China only accounts for 1.57%. China is currently the world's largest auto market, and multinational auto companies attach great importance to patent applications in China. The report points out that in the field of intelligent networked vehicles, the Chinese Patent Office received the largest number of applications, up to 12,106, followed by 5,253 in the US. 5,124 pieces from Japan and 4017 pieces from Germany.

â– Intelligent networked car technology still dominates traditional car companies

The report pointed out that in the field of smart car interconnection, Toyota, Bosch, Denso, General Motors, Daimler and mainland China and other multinational car companies still maintain the advantage of the number of patent applications, in the layout of patent applications, the major cars The company has a focus, and the research and development focus has also changed with the year. Overall, Toyota has the largest number of applications, reaching 1,355, followed by Bosch, Denso, Mitsubishi, General Motors, Daimler, Continental, Hyundai, Aisin, and Nissan. It can be seen that the top 10 companies are OEMs (complete vehicle manufacturers) or Tier1 (first-tier component suppliers). Among the top 50 companies with patent applications, traditional car companies account for 70%, which is enough. It proves that the traditional car enterprises are leading the development of intelligent networked car technology. The technology accumulation of the traditional automobile manufacturing industry has great advantages when it enters the intelligent networked automobile field. It is worth noting that among the top 50 institutions in the world, there are four institutions in China, namely Geely Automobile, Chery Automobile, Changan University and Jilin University.

Among the four sub-sectors, Google is the undisputed champion in the unmanned field, with the number of patents ranking first, far higher than other institutions. Two institutions in China have entered the top 20, namely Geely and Jilin University; in the field of assisted driving Traditional car companies have an absolute advantage. Toyota ranks first in terms of more than 1,000 pieces, followed by companies such as Bosch and Denso. In the field of car networking, Toyota and Japan’s Denso are ranked 126 and 115 respectively. In the second place, China’s LeTV ranked 7th with 40 patents; in the field of automotive communication, GM ranked first with more than 300 patents.

â– Enlightenment to relevant enterprises in China

At the end of the report, several countermeasures and suggestions were put forward: first, pay attention to the technical blanks in the segmentation field, strengthen the layout of the patented technology of intelligent networked vehicles; second, based on independent research and development, improve the quality of patents for intelligent networked automotive technology; Promote the globalization strategy, attach importance to transnational patent transactions and foreign patent litigation; Fourth, accelerate the industrialization of intelligent networked automobile patent technology.

The above is about the automotive electronics - China Intelligent Networking Automotive patents accounted for up to 37% of the world's largest number of relevant introductions, if you want to know more information, please pay more attention, electronic engineering will provide you with more complete, more detailed, updated Information.
