Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional gaming machines are used, then the system is simple to operate, but player engagement and excitement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidplayer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows a single mobile device to function as both a camera for capturing the gaming table and a display for showing augmented reality overlays, betting interfaces, and game information. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for dedicated gaming machine hardware while providing enhanced player engagement through AR technology, electronic wallet integration, and interactive betting spot identification.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If mobile AR technology is implemented, then player engagement is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies betting spots on the gaming table through image processing of the captured video feed, eliminating the need for manual registration or complex player input. The augmented reality overlays are automatically generated and displayed based on the camera's view of the table, providing an intuitive user experience despite the underlying technological complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If electronic wallet integration is added, then transaction speed is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines the electronic wallet functionality, betting interface, and augmented reality display into a single integrated mobile application. This merging of functions allows players to access their wallet, place bets, and view game information through one unified interface, improving transaction speed while managing complexity through integration rather than separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Disclosed is a method for enabling a mobile augmented reality (AR) table betting system to facilitate game play with a table game and one or more players each using a mobile device. The method includes: enabling a player to register at an available betting spot on the table game using the player's mobile device; providing a dealer display that presents information to a dealer as game events occur on the player's associated mobile device; enabling a player to access funds from an electronic wallet associated with the player to place an initial bet at the table game; commencing game play at the table game; enabling a player to place an subsequent bet or game decision at the table game using the player's mobile device; in response to a winning table game outcome, transferring funds to the player; and in response to a losing table game outcome, transferring funds from the player.
