In August, Sony announced that it was working with IBM to create a set of educational services that would partially use the technology to secure student records and create part of a system for sharing that data between agreed-upon parties.

The application from Sony, published last week by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), points out how that could work in practice.

For example, "nodes" on the educational network could be managed by teachers, students, or other parties who may need access to those records. It refers to how the "educational experience" would be fixed in the chain after being signed by the relevant users.

The patent application, entitled "Electronic Apparatus, Method for Electronic Apparatus and Information Processing System," indicates other possible uses for the technology, including for connecting vehicles over a common network.

According to the authors of the application, the "Internet of Vehicle" network is supposed to allow cars to report road conditions to each other.
