Sony Leverages Blockchain In Education And The Internet Of Vehicles

Japanese tech conglomerate Sony filed a patent application describing how blockchain could be useful in education.

Sony originally announced its plans to use blockchain in this area in August. Then it became known that the company was using the IBM blockchain to create a set of educational services and a closed system for distributing data..

In a filing published by the US Patent and Trademark Office last week, Sony describes how these projects will work in practice..

For example, network nodes will belong to teachers, students and other system participants who may need the data contained in it..

“So, the blockchain, which is, in fact, a chain of trust, can be used to store information, for example, about training experience, certificates and other user data. This may include information about courses taken and certificates issued. In addition, it is possible to exchange and transfer knowledge itself on the basis of smart contracts and smart property, ”writes Sony in its application..

It also describes other blockchain applications that are not directly related to education. For example, the authors propose the concept of the "Internet of Vehicles", with the help of which cars can transmit information about road conditions to each other in real time in a decentralized network..
