Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If camera-based biometric sensing and machine learning are implemented to analyze player attributes and predict actions, then player engagement and personalization are improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex analysis task into separate modules: camera capture, biometric feature extraction, player attribute determination, and action prediction. Each module processes specific data independently before integrating results, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A player database serves as an intermediary between raw camera data and personalized casino actions. The database stores historical player data and serves as a mediator for machine learning models to predict actions, simplifying the real-time processing complexity while enabling sophisticated personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If real-time analysis of player emotional and psychological states is performed, then player satisfaction and experience are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing and storing biometric data during player interactions before making predictions. Historical data is pre-processed and stored in the player database, allowing rapid retrieval and analysis during real-time decision-making without requiring complex computations at the moment of prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously refines its predictions by comparing predicted player actions with actual behavior and using this feedback to update the machine learning models. This feedback loop improves prediction accuracy over time while the model learns to make faster predictions based on accumulated knowledge from previous iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If multiple cameras and biometric sensors are deployed to capture comprehensive player data, then measurement precision of player attributes is improved, but device complexity and infrastructure requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiometric data accuracyVSAvoidinfrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera system is designed with multi-functionality, serving multiple purposes: capturing player identity, monitoring biometric attributes, tracking player movement, and analyzing emotional states. This universal approach reduces the need for separate specialized sensors for each function, thereby reducing overall infrastructure complexity while maintaining high measurement precision.

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

AI summary

A gaming system, computer-implemented method and gaming device are operable enhance player experience using image data. A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform operations. Such operations include receiving, from a camera, image data that includes visual signals corresponding to a player and determining player action components from the image data. The player action components include multiple different player attributes that correspond to an emotional state of the player. Operations further include, based on the different player attributes, determining a predicted action of the player and causing a casino related action that corresponds to the predicted action.
