Solution Overview

Problem

Current online gaming systems lack the immersive experience of being physically present in a casino, particularly in table games like poker, due to the absence of realistic interaction with dealers and other players, and do not provide a true simulation of the tactile experience.

Innovation Solution

An augmented reality gaming system that allows remote players to join table games at casinos using a software application and augmented reality devices equipped with cameras and card scanners, enabling real-time video and audio interaction with dealers and other players, along with the use of poker chips and secure fund management through safe deposits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If online gaming systems use software simulations to play games, then financial risk is reduced and accessibility is improved, but the tactile experience and interaction with dealers and players are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAccessibility of online gamingVSAvoidTactile experience and social interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses augmented reality to create a virtual copy of the casino environment, dealing tables, and social interactions. The system captures real-time video feeds from physical casinos and overlays them with augmented reality elements, allowing remote players to visually and interactively participate in the gaming experience without being physically present, thus preserving the tactile and social aspects while maintaining online accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If remote players want to participate in table games at a casino, then gaming accessibility is improved, but the ability to physically interact with the game environment is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRemote player participationVSAvoidPhysical interaction with game environment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an augmented reality device as an intermediary between the remote player and the physical casino environment. This device includes camera systems, display screens, and communication interfaces that mediate the interaction, allowing players to view game tables, receive cards, and communicate with dealers and other players in real-time, effectively bridging the physical distance without requiring the player to be physically present at the casino.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If the system provides real-time video and audio interaction, then player immersion is improved, but system complexity and infrastructure requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePlayer immersion and interaction qualityVSAvoidSystem infrastructure requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs multi-functional augmented reality devices that combine camera systems, video displays, audio communication capabilities, and card scanning functions into a single integrated system. These devices serve multiple purposes: capturing the casino environment, transmitting video feeds to remote players, receiving and scanning playing cards, and facilitating audio communication, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized equipment and simplifying the overall system infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An augmented reality game system that facilitates the participation of remote players in casino table games. The game system and method of the present invention utilizes a plurality of augmented reality devices that are placed in table positions at casinos. A remote player will communicably couple to the augmented reality device and utilize the elements thereof to engage in the table game such as but not limited to poker. The augmented reality game system incorporates a method wherein an operator will provide a website and a software application that facilitates registration and participation of casinos and remote players. Subsequent operable coupling with an augmented reality device, a remote player will receive liver video feed, audio data and scanned poker card data images from the augmented reality device. The remote player has operational control of the augmented reality device and utilizes to communicate with a dealer at the table game.
