Solution Overview
Problem
In Blackjack poker games, manually calculating insurance odds based on dealer and player card points is impractical and burdensome, requiring human memory and speculation about surplus cards, leading to errors and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A BlackJack poker game insurance display apparatus with a first display unit for the dealer's open card, a second for the player's total points, and a third for displaying odds, connected to an odds decision machine using algorithms or a stored table to determine insurance odds automatically, eliminating the need for human calculation and memory.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual calculation of insurance odds is used, then human memory and speculation are required, but this leads to errors, inefficiencies, and increased burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical calculation system with an automated electronic computing system. The odds decision machine automatically calculates insurance odds by processing card point information through algorithms or lookup tables, eliminating the need for human memory and manual computation, thereby achieving both high precision and operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the odds decision machine to autonomously determine insurance odds without human intervention. The machine automatically receives card point data, performs calculations using predetermined algorithms or table lookups, and outputs the odds, making the entire process self-sufficient and error-free
2Reliability
If automated odds determination is implemented, then precision and error-free results are achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the odds determination system into distinct functional modules: a first display unit for dealer card points, a second display unit for player card points, and a third display unit for insurance odds. The odds decision machine is further segmented into algorithm execution units or table lookup units. This modular segmentation achieves reliable automated determination while managing system complexity through organized functional separation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses predetermined odds tables that store pre-calculated odds values for various card point combinations. Instead of performing complex real-time calculations for every scenario, the system copies and retrieves pre-computed odds from the table based on current card points, ensuring reliability while simplifying the computational complexity of the device
3Loss of information
If manual memory of distributed cards is required, then human cognitive burden increases, but automated tracking adds system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the human cognitive system for remembering distributed cards with an electronic information storage and retrieval system. The odds decision machine automatically tracks which cards have been distributed and maintains accurate counts of remaining cards, eliminating information loss without requiring complex manual tracking mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary information storage layer between the card distribution process and the odds calculation. This intermediary automatically records distributed cards and updates the remaining card inventory, serving as a mediator that prevents information loss while keeping the overall system structure simple and manageable

AI summary
A BlackJack poker game insurance display apparatus includes a first display unit for outputting a point of an opened poker card of the dealer; a second display unit for outputting a sum of total points of the poker cards of the player; a third display unit for outputting odds based one the point of an opened poker card of the dealer and the total points of poker cards of the player; wherein when the total points the poker cards of the dealer is not Blackjack, the player can buy insurance; an odds decision machine connected to the third display unit for determining the odds in the third display unit; and wherein the odds are determined based on algorithms that can calculate in time or based on a table stored in the odds decision machine.
