To solve the research questions, a new approach to exploring the TOD for technological convergence is proposed by means of link prediction in patent-citation networks and TKF networks, as well as by investigation of knowledge flow properties and technological knowledge themes. Although existing studies have proposed the TOD methods for convergence based on patent citation analysis, they offered insufficient implications because they suggested patent pairs as potential technological opportunities. Link prediction is utilized to identify a potential link in a TKF network based on patent citation information because this research aims to anticipate the future converging technological opportunity. This research proposes a systematic method to investigate the current TKF between heterogeneous fields by using patent analysis and to identify technological opportunities for convergence by predicting the potential TKF.	./cache/cord-320674-skmxrkhf.txt	./txt/cord-320674-skmxrkhf.txt
