Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems require redundant and time-consuming processes for users to provide identifying information and verification for both gaming establishment credit accounts and cashless wagering accounts, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors, which discourage users from signing up for these accounts.

Innovation Solution

A system that leverages information collected during the creation of a gaming establishment credit account to automatically create a cashless wagering account, reducing the need for duplicate data entry and manual verification, thereby streamlining the account creation process and enhancing security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users provide identifying information and verification separately for both gaming establishment credit accounts and cashless wagering accounts, then account security and regulatory compliance are ensured, but the process becomes redundant and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount security and regulatory complianceVSAvoidaccount creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by collecting and verifying identifying information during the credit account creation process, then reusing this pre-verified data for cashless wagering account creation. This eliminates the need for users to provide the same information again, reducing time loss while maintaining security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The identifying information and verification data collected for the credit account serves multiple functions: it is reused for cashless wagering account creation, eliminating redundant verification steps. This multi-functional use of data reduces account creation time while preserving security and compliance requirements.

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

2Measurement precision

If users manually provide identifying information for both account types, then data accuracy is maintained, but the process becomes complex and discourages users from signing up

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiduser signup ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically reusing and validating identifying information from the credit account creation for the cashless wagering account. Users are spared from manually re-providing information, making the signup process easier while the system maintains data accuracy through automated verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from the credit account creation process (verified identifying information) to automatically populate and validate data for the cashless wagering account. This feedback mechanism ensures data accuracy is maintained while significantly improving ease of operation by eliminating redundant user input requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If separate manual verification processes are used for both accounts, then security is maintained, but errors increase and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidaccount creation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the verification processes by using the same identifying information and verification mechanisms for both credit and cashless wagering accounts. This consolidation maintains security standards while significantly improving productivity by eliminating duplicate verification steps and reducing manual intervention requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
