AT & T is looking for a blockchain patent to map the history of social media

AT & T, the American telecommunications giant, recently filed a blockchain patent to map the history of social media. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published this patent application Thursday, December 13th.

Mapping of social media activities of online users

The AT & T patent refers to a system based on blockchain that traces the chronology of social media "on behalf" of its subscribers. In addition, the system could also include a transaction history controller to store user data. As a result, these data can be useful for different purposes.

The patent also mentions several cases of use such as the creation and sharing of data and ideas through communities and virtual networks. One of the peculiar cases of use is the monitoring of "career interests". This can be particularly useful for companies to find potential candidates suitable for their fields.

The AT & T system thus shows the "ability to track micro-culture transactions (eg a particular social media account including followers) based on location, time and content can have tremendous value in the # 39; e-commerce, in marketing and targeted advertising. "

The patent document also states, "The social media history mapping platforms described here can take advantage of the immutable and permanent nature of blockchain records to store and provide access to data representing online transactions that occur across multiple social media applications."

Provide the security of content ownership

The AT & T patent ensures that content creators obtain absolute protection over their data. Therefore, its blockchain-based social media mapping service ensures that content creators can retain ownership of their data.

"Instead of passing the ownership of the blocks or data between users, an owner of a social media account maintains the main property of his online transaction data. What passes from the owner of the social media account to other users of the social media history mapping service, such as the followers of the social media account owner, is a notion of high visibility rights. "

The good thing about AT & T's blockchain system is that users do not need to create multiple social media accounts. Using a single account, users can access data on different social media sites.
