4.10 INNOVATION CONCEPT CROSS OVER – ADUNA MAPPINGThe following Aduna maps highlight the technology ‘cross over’ in terms of innovation in the dataset for both vision and hearing related technologies. These maps show the extent of innovation within the dataset when the three highlighted concepts are taken into account. This reveals visually, the amount of patented innovation which focuses just on one concept area e.g. vision enhancement (top left of Figure 43), compared to the number focused on multiple areas e.g. vision enhancement, assistance and restoration (middle point of Figure 44). The graphical representation of one dot in an Aduna map equates to an order of 100 patent families in the dataset. The actual values of patent families inside the Aduna maps have also been provided (Table 7 & 8). Table 7: Cross Technology Table for Vision Technology
Raw data for Table 7: Restoration: 9011, Assistance: 6301, Enhancement: 6101, Restoration and Assistance: 603, Restoration and Enhancement: 1264, Assistance and Enhancement: 2808. The Aduna map below visually highlights the three vision related technology concepts within the data set. It is observed that vision restoration technology (in pink) contains the highest number of patent families associated only with this concept. Patent innovation related to both vision enhancement and assistance (where the blue and green points intersect) has the highest instance of ‘cross over’ in relation to vision technology meaning that there are a large number of patents covering both concepts of this technology. Opportunities on a broad level can be identified by locating low levels of patent ‘cross over’ activity. In terms of vision technology, opportunity lies in ‘cross over’ innovation between vision assistance and restoration technology (where the green and pink points intersect) and with innovation that involves all three concepts related to vision device technology (the middle point of the map).
