Samsung Electronics has received a U.S. patent for a blockchain-related device technology, according to a disclosure from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent, titled "Electronic Device for Providing Blockchain-Based Service and Operating Method Thereof," was formally granted on Oct. 20. The disclosed method allows an electronic device to detect nearby devices that support blockchain services through wireless signals and then establish a peer-to-peer connection. It also describes a synchronization process in which devices compare the latest block height stored on each device and select the one with the most up-to-date data to complete blockchain syncing. According to the disclosure, the patented approach is designed to reduce both network traffic and energy consumption during block data synchronization between devices.
