IoT Smart Home Patents Data 2Q 2016

IoT Smart Home Patents Data 2Q 2016 is a custom research of TechIPm, LLC (www.techipm.com) based on the

analysis of the published patent applications and issued patents in the USPTO regarding the IoT (Internet of Things)

smart home.

Methodology

1. Search for the IoT smart home related patents.

� Search the USPTO database for the IoT smart home related published patent applications and issued patent

as of 2Q 2016

2. Review the searched patents for the key IoT smart home patents.

� Categorize the identified patents by the key smart home application systems

Energy/Utility Management System, Home Automation System, Home Security System, Lighting System,

Safety Monitoring System

� Categorize the identified patents by the key smart home technology innovation

Control Automation, Energy Management Automation, Hazard Detecting, Home Care, Intelligent Lighting,

Security Automation, Utility Management Automation

� Categorize the identified patents by the key connected health value chain player

Consumer Electronics Manufacture, ICT Solution, Automation, Internet/Computer, Telecom Operator,

Telecom OEM, Home Appliances, Media Production, Energy Management, Patent Monitization Entity,

Security System, R&D (including university, individual inventor), Healthcare Solution, Medical Device

Manufacturer, Auto Parts Manufacturer

� Categorize the identified patents by key smart home technology innovation status

Incremental innovations of the current market products/services

Innovations of the potential new market products/services:

Innovation Status

Patent information can provide insights regarding the state of the art of the IoT (Internet of Things) innovations. As

shown in the figure, the key smart home innovation players are Google (including Nest Labs), Samsung

Electronics, Ecofactor, Honeywell, Allure Energy, LG Electronics, General Electric, Echostar Technologies, Apple,

and Qualcomm.

Innovation Opportunity

Patent information can provide insights regarding the state of the art of the IoT (Internet of Things) innovations.

Thus, one can identify the potential innovation R&D areas (“white space”) that can lead to new IoT

products/services development through the patent analysis. As can be seen in the figure, the home control

automation technology is clouded by significant number of patent applications owned by many market leaders such

as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Echostar Technologies. The home energy management technology is

also clouded by a large number of patent applications owned by several key market leaders such as Google (Nest

Labs), Ecofactor, and Honeywell.

Value Chain

Patent information can provide insights regarding the state of the art of the IoT innovations of the value chain

players. Following figure shows the patent landscape of the IoT smart home value chain players. As can be seen in

the figure, the traditional value chain players – Consumer Electronics Manufacture and Home & Industrial

Automation– have the IPR governance in the IoT smart home value chain. Some of the non- traditional value chain

players such as ICT Solution Providers (e.g., Microsoft) and Telecom Operators (e.g., Verizon) also have a large

number of patents for the IoT smart home.
