Conditional Wager Management for Mobile Gaming and Remote Play
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile betting solutions are limited as they are not available outside designated sports betting areas, restricting customer convenience and opportunities for sports betting.
Innovation Solution
The development of a system that allows for conditional, deferred, and proxy-assisted wagers, utilizing electronic gaming kiosks, personal mobile devices, and gaming devices to facilitate entry, receipt, and management of wagers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If mobile betting is restricted to designated sports betting areas, then regulatory compliance is maintained, but customer convenience and betting opportunities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to pre-register betting requests and conditions in advance through mobile devices. These preliminary actions are stored and automatically executed when the user enters a designated betting area, enabling convenient pre-betting while maintaining regulatory compliance through location verification.
Solution Approach 2:
A conditional wager management system acts as an intermediary between the user's mobile device and the gaming system. This mediator receives betting requests, evaluates location conditions, and executes wagers only when appropriate conditions are met, bridging the gap between mobile convenience and regulated gaming areas.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conditional wagers are implemented with multiple evaluation conditions, then betting flexibility and user control are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The conditional wager system is divided into separate functional modules: a mobile device for user input, a conditional wager management system for condition evaluation, and a gaming system for wager execution. This segmentation distributes complexity across multiple components while maintaining overall system flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically evaluates multiple conditions (location, time, user preferences) in real-time rather than using fixed rules. This dynamic approach allows flexible betting parameters while using automated algorithms to manage the complexity of condition evaluation efficiently.
3Adaptability or versatility
If proxy-assisted wagers are allowed for remote participation, then user accessibility is improved, but regulatory compliance and security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The conditional wager management system serves as a secure intermediary that verifies user identity, validates proxy relationships, and ensures regulatory compliance before executing wagers. This mediator layer enables remote participation while maintaining security and reliability through automated verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor and verify the status of proxy wagers, user locations, and compliance conditions. This feedback loop ensures security requirements are met while enabling reliable remote participation through automated validation.
