Subsystem of Patent Information Analysis at the Stage of Conceptual Design of Management Systems Elements

The purpose of the research is the improvement of patent analysis efficiency for analogue and prototype search at the stage of conceptual design of management systems elements. The article describes the proposed method of search of the most relevant patents to received technical solution based on the use of ontology and patent passports. The article gives appropriate algorithms and mathematical formulas. This method is implemented in “Patent Search” subsystem of “Intellect” software system; the article gives a brief description of their purpose and possibilities. The article describes the integration process of “Patent Search” with “Intellect” system. Trial exploitation results led to the conclusion about the efficiency of selected algorithmic and software decisions.
