Information auto classification method and information search and analysis method
First Claim
1. A method for automatically processing patent materials, comprising the steps of:
- accessing raw patent materials from an information source;
locating and reading text in individual patents of the raw patent materials, wherein the text concerns a technical field for the invention disclosed in the individual patent;
classifying the raw patent materials based on predetermined classifying conditions including the technical field for the invention and generating a classified patent-oriented database of the classified patent materials;
searching for specific patent materials among the classified patent materials in accordance with predetermined, user selected searching conditions and storing the searched patent materials meeting the searching conditions into a specific directory in the classified patent-oriented database;
analyzing the classified patent materials and/or the searched patent materials stored in the specific directory by predetermined, user selected analyzing conditions to generate analyzed patent materials; and
displaying the analyzed patent materials in a user selected information format.

Abstract
An information classification method includes many steps. In one step a search destination for information stored in an information source is selected, and a classification field with respect to the information is set. In another step the search destination information is searched and judged whether there is a classification field in the information. Another step automatically classifies the searched information based on the classification field. Another step stores the classified information into the database of the user. The present invention thereby automatically classifies the information stored in an information source, stores the classified information into the database of a user and effectively searches and analyzes information using a database system which stores the classified information and displays and outputs the information in various forms.

5. A method for classifying patent materials comprising the steps of:
-
accessing raw patent materials from an information source;
detecting text included in individual patents of the raw patent materials, wherein the text is located relative to pre-set specific words included in individual patents of the raw patent materials; and
classifying the raw patent materials on the basis of the detected text, wherein said text includes at least one of a title, a field of the invention, a problem to be solved by the invention, and a method or a means for a solution. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

15. A method for searching patent materials, comprising the steps of:
-
accessing patent materials in a classified patent-oriented database, classified on the basis of pre-set specified words in the individual patents;
inputting user selected searching conditions, specific classification codes and/or specific key words;
searching the classified patent materials on the basis of the inputted searching conditions; and
generating a collection of the searched patent materials meeting the inputted searching conditions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A method for analyzing patent material, comprising the steps of:
-
accessing previously searched patent materials and/or classified patent materials which were previously classified by a predetermined classifying condition;
inputting an analyzing condition of specific classification codes and/or specific key words to apply to the searched patent materials or to the classified patent materials; and
analyzing the searched patent materials or the classified patent materials on the basis of the inputted specific classification codes and/or the specified key words, and generating analyzed patent materials, wherein said specific classification codes refer to user defined structure classification codes structurally classifying the searched patent materials and/or classified patent materials, and/or user defined function classification codes functionally classifying the searched patent materials and/or the classified patent materials. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)
