Abstract Based on the perspective of the number of patents, this paper studies the innovation ability and its relative growth rate of Henan Province from 2004 to 2016 on different spatial scales, and uses the coupling coordination model to reveal the spatial and temporal pattern evolution law of the coupling coordination status between innovation ability and economic development level, and uses the Geodetector to analyze the changing process of the influencing factor of innovation ability development in Henan province under different spatial scales. The results show that: (1) The overall innovation capability of Henan Province continued to be increased during the period of 2004-2016, but the spatial differentiation of regional innovation capacity for a long time had been obvious. (2) In the 18 cities of Henan Province, the growth rate of innovation capacity of 14 cities were not as fast as that of provincial level, and the spatial structure of the relative growth rate of innovation was the same as the spatial pattern of the creative ability, and the development of regional innovation ability in Henan Province had the “Club Convergence” effect. (3) From the perspective of coordination and coupling between innovation ability and economic development, from 2004 to 2016, 16 cities in Henan Province were in a state of moderate and low coordination and coupling, and only Zhengzhou's innovation ability and economic development ability reached a high degree of coordination and coupling. (4) On the provincial scale, the level of economic development and social literacy was the most important explanation of innovation, and the government's financial support for innovation was obvious to Henan's innovation ability; On the level city scale, talent advantage had been gradually become the first factor influencing the spatial pattern of innovation ability of Henan Province. Influence of that economic development level and the degree of innovation circulation on the innovation ability pattern in Henan Province appeared fluctuating upward trend.
