Abstract

Background: “Smart Building” constructed using “Smart Materials” for “Smart People” and to create or build “Smart Societies or Cities” is the new trend all over the world.

Introduction: To implement smartness holistically, it is essential to surf through databases where innovations from all over the world are visible or can be retrieved. A "One stop solution" to locate innovations from specific domains is patent databases and hence this paper showcases the current scenario of civil constructions using AI-ML or alike technologies.

Method: Relecura database is primarily used for performing analysis of all the patents related to these two collaborative domains. A special focus is given to the analysis of data from 2015-2021, to know the latest trends in technology used for constructing smart buildings.

Result: Smart home, sensors, and machine learning are highly found keywords. China is the leading country for patents in the smart building domain. The use of computational models and pictorial communication can be explored to increase the patentability of the innovation.

Conclusion: This patent analysis will be useful to the end readers, researchers, and students to understand the innovative concepts implemented so far and in turn understand the possible research gaps in these collaborative domains.
