Solution Overview

Problem

The existing process of creating gaming establishment accounts, such as cashless wagering accounts and gaming establishment credit accounts, is time-consuming, laborious, and prone to errors due to the repetitive collection of identifying information and verification processes, which discourages users and poses safety risks for personnel.

Innovation Solution

A system that automates the creation of gaming establishment accounts by leveraging information collected during the creation of a gaming establishment credit account, eliminating the need for redundant data entry and manual verification, thereby streamlining the account creation process and reducing human interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual account creation process is used for gaming establishment accounts, then account creation can be completed with basic verification, but the process is time-consuming and laborious requiring repetitive data collection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount creation accuracyVSAvoidaccount creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing identifying information during the gaming establishment credit account creation process. This pre-collected data is then automatically retrieved and used for subsequent gaming account creation, eliminating the need for repetitive data collection and verification steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges the credit account creation process with the gaming account creation process by automatically transferring identifying information between them. This integration allows both account types to share common data elements, reducing redundant verification steps and accelerating the overall account creation timeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If repetitive data collection and manual verification processes are used, then thorough verification can be achieved, but user experience deteriorates and personnel safety risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification thoroughnessVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically retrieving and verifying identifying information from previously stored credit account data. This automation eliminates the need for users to repeatedly provide personal information and for personnel to manually verify each piece of data, thereby maintaining verification thoroughness while dramatically improving ease of operation and reducing safety risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary automated data retrieval mechanism that acts as a bridge between the credit account system and the gaming account system. This intermediary automatically fetches and validates identifying information, removing the need for direct manual interaction between users and personnel while preserving verification integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If multiple gaming establishment accounts are created using separate processes, then each account can be independently verified, but the overall process complexity and error rate increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent verificationVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies universality by creating a shared identifying information repository that serves multiple account creation processes. This single data source supports both credit account and gaming account creation, allowing independent verification of each account type while using the same verified information, thereby reducing process complexity and error rates.

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