In the past few years, the world's biggest technology companies have been joint efforts, research and technology integration block chain.
Bitcoin strong bull market in 2017 triggered a massive wave of hot pursuit, which promoted the block chain technology to some extent quickly become the latest buzzword in the scientific community. In the meantime, many startups joined the competition, entrepreneurs are hoping to profit from speculation in this area.
Those big companies do not realize the advantages of this technology are faced with the risk of lagging behind, still carefully explore their own enterprise operational mechanisms in solution. While others have begun to explore the potential benefits of block chain can bring the system to its existing.
This includes some of the giants in the field of science and technology, such as IBM, Samsung, Google, Sony and Apple.
IBM
US technology giant IBM patented a number of block chain technology, caused quite a stir in the block chain field. Since 2014, the company in terms of frequency of use chain block has been a leader in the development and use of tile-based chain solutions far ahead of other companies.
One of the first to try the IBM technology is to explore the block chain technology can provide power for things matter . Address Energy in Parallel Technologies Project (ADEPT) was born in collaboration with Samsung, the project enables home appliances to interact autonomously with its surroundings.
The project's use case is automatically orders its detergent and needs to be replaced by Samsung washing machine parts. ADEPT concept uses Telehash communicate, BitTorrent support file sharing, and using Ethernet Square block chain to support the need for further contract performance features.
The company's flagship business, was introduced in 2015. IBM Blockchain. The platform is based on the Linux Foundation (Linux Foundation) of Hyperledger Fabric on top of a collaboration between IBM and a number of companies for development.
IBM block chain for large enterprises and enterprise-class companies block chain solutions. The platform allows users to join an existing block chain, or even create a new platform for their needs. According to the IBM Web site estimated that there are over 500 valid block chain project is running on the platform. These projects cover a number of industry sectors, including trade finance, supply chain and authentication services.
Including supply chain management platform TradeLens by the shipping giant Maersk and IBM jointly developed platform is designed to track the progress of real-time data transaction network license in shipping.
IBM's Food Trust Blockchain platform is another noteworthy that, in the past two years, it attracted a lot of large enterprise groups. Nestle, Unilever, and leading US retailer Wal-Mart and other companies are using the block-based food chain tracking platform.
Microsoft
Since its inception in 1975, Microsoft has been a leader in IT and technology. Its critically acclaimed operating system, but the company is also business development, in order to provide a wider range of technology products and services. Microsoft does not ignore the block chain technology. But with IBM, it also focused on developing proprietary chain solutions, rather than open source, decentralized block chain.
Microsoft's Azure cloud computing services is the basis for Microsoft's entry into this field , it can help companies build and manage applications, thereby improving a variety of internal and external services. Azure block chain is a branch of the service platform that helps users create their own network of alliances and networks and software applications using pre-built.
Azure Blockchain Workbench can help developers to use existing infrastructure to deploy network, known as the infrastructure needed to solve can be reduced to create an internal program development time. Including automatic ledger deployment, network construction and pre-built block chain command.
US coffee company Starbucks (Starbucks) on the deployment of the Azure Blockchain platform to track its coffee beans (from the origin to the stores around the world).
Global airline GE aviation also used the Azure Blockchain services to record and track detailed information about aviation parts, in the past this process is done on paper, time-consuming and costs money. Singapore Airlines (Singapore Airlines), Nasdaq (Nasdaq), 3M and its Xbox and other companies are also a variety of products used in the Azure Blockchain platform.
Samsung
For a variety of reasons, the South Korean technology giant Samsung plays a very interesting role in the field of encryption and currency block chain.
Samsung also extends the identity of an important participant in electronics manufacturing to encrypt the monetary field. The company is one of the top smart phones and semiconductor manufacturers, and these two products is also an integral part of the standard encryption enthusiasts.
During the bull market in 2017 Bitcoin, as users flocked to buy the mining machine ASIC encryption, so Samsung's processor is highly sought after. From the beginning of 2018, the company began to design and develop for mining designed ASIC chips.
Samsung also launched in 2019 Blockchain Keystore application market, money will support encryption into their smartphone. The launch of the main applications is the password for the wallet user's private key.
This feature is available in the Samsung Galaxy S10 smart phones, currently available for Samsung S10e, S10, S10 +, S10 5G, Note10 and Note10 + this 6 models. Since then, the Blockchain Keystore there have been a large number of applications to block chain based on the number of encryption currency Galaxy S10 smart phones now also support more.
In addition, the company's IT department Samsung SDS has also joined the competition in the area of the block chain enterprises. The platform was launched in 2017, aims to be on the same stage to compete with IBM and Microsoft and other companies block chain solutions. Companies can create and manage their own payment, supply chain, smart credentials and service contracts by means of the block chain platform.
Sony
Japanese IT company Sony is known for its electronics products, but it also blocks the use of chain technology to do some interesting things. The company has taken a slightly different approach in the assessment of the technical possibilities, we chose the biggest benefit areas - education, music copyright and sampling.
2017, Sony announced that it will cooperate with Fujitsu to explore a pilot project using the Linux Foundation Hyperledger architecture, records management and educational topics, and record the results. The platform enables educational institutions to store and share personal virtual learning academic record in encrypted secure distributed block chain network.
Educational institutions or companies related to the applicant or student can access proven, educational records tamper-proof. On the other hand, students and scholars can also be real-time access to their own learning record.
Sony also found that the use of artificial intelligence and the block chain technology in the music industry. According to their description in Soundmain pages, Sony around 2013 began to get involved in the field of artificial intelligence challenging. In terms of sound and music production, to distinguish between different instruments and music sound of the machine is very difficult because this is a uniquely human ability.
However, Sony developments in artificial intelligence so that the audio separation technology has made some breakthroughs. It Soundmain platform can help users to have different sound separation from mixed to a single or two-channel audio source for a plurality of channels.
The software is designed as a tool to solve audio mixing and handling copyright issues. Artists can record a full set of live performances, and then use the software to identify the different instruments isolated to individual channels. Block chain technology appears to solve the copyright issues of different music samples, if the composer or musician sample being used by another studio, then you can be compensated.
Google and Apple sit tight
Google and Apple is no doubt the field of IT technology giant, but the two companies for many years and block chain technology and anything related to encryption have maintained a certain distance.
Because they took a hard line stance on decentralized applications in the Google Play and Apple App Store, so the two companies have been criticized encryption currency communities. In response, these companies say they do this to protect users from malicious software.
This hard-line stance has led to some major trading platforms, such as Coinbase, because the developer guide unresolved problems forced it to encrypt money purse DApp shelf from the Apple Store.
In the last month of 2020 3, Google Play applications and even the shelves of various encryption currency news platform (including Cointelegraph applications). Zeng was removed from the Google Play store before a large number of encryption monetary mining applications.
Nevertheless, Google still provides the infrastructure to help encrypt currency software company Blockchain.com. The company uses Google cloud services to handle various databases that block chain wallet and browser services. The platform amounts of data concerning the database processing, has been switched to the Google Cloud Spanner, to simplify its processes.
At the same time, Apple announced the development of CryptoKit framework in 2019, initially received a warm welcome encrypted currency communities. As Cointelegraph was reported that, once the company projects a clear explanation, then all kinds of rumors about the project to go too.
CryptoKit tool helps developers perform various cryptographic operations, including creating and managing digital signatures using public key cryptography. The software can effectively help developers improve authentication and encryption services, and to improve safety performance.
