Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become the central issue and research focus of the global academic community and industry, in order to more clearly understand the research status and future development direction of the IoT. This paper uses the Dewent-Innovation-Index patent database as a data source, using the relevant theories and methods of bibliometrics and content analysis, and using the data visualization tool CiteSpace to conduct 25,775 related patents in the global IoT field between 2006 and 2018. Classification statistics, content analysis and knowledge map mapping, focusing on the analysis and comparison of the IoT technology patent annual analysis, ownership analysis, research fields, research hotspots, and evolution trends, provide reference for China’s IoT development model and technological innovation.
