Abstract
This paper chooses the field of artificial intelligence and blockchain as the research object. Based on patent data, the amount of patent applications and the degree of technology convergence are used to judge the degree of technology convergence. Citespace is used to analyze the country where patents belong and the distribution of patentees, so as to understand the research status in the field of fusion. Based on the Derwent manual code, the co-occurrence analysis was carried out after dividing the two time stages, and the co-occurrence frequency, intermediary centrality and Burst value were used to analyze the merged technology, so as to explore the development trend and frontier direction after the technology fusion. The results show that the technology convergence between the two fields is gradually getting closer and closer. Distributed database, machine learning and other related technologies are the current hot technologies. Identification technology and distributed database are the key technologies at present. The emerging technologies are mainly classified technologies in the field of digital computers, while infrared heating in the field of aerospace science and microsystem emerging technologies widely used in many fields are expected to become the development trend of future technology convergence in the field of artificial intelligence and blockchain.
