Context-Sensitive Betting Interface for Simultaneous Sporting Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sporting wagering systems are overwhelmed by multiple simultaneous events, making it difficult for bettors to navigate and choose which game to place wagers on, as existing interfaces are complex and not updated frequently, lacking context-sensitive options that cater to individual user interests.
Innovation Solution
A system that determines the user's focus on a sporting event using a combination of camera video data, audio fingerprints, and location sensors, providing context-sensitive betting options in real-time through a mobile device or augmented reality glasses, integrating with SLAM technology and audio fingerprint comparison to identify the active event being watched.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional sports book areas with multiple displays are constructed to show multiple simultaneous events, then the system can present more betting options, but the interface becomes more complex and harder for players to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the comprehensive betting interface into context-sensitive portions based on the sporting event the user is currently watching. Instead of presenting all available bets simultaneously, the interface is divided and displayed dynamically according to the active event, reducing cognitive load while maintaining access to diverse betting options.
Solution Approach 2:
The betting interface transitions from a static, comprehensive display to a dynamic, adaptive interface that automatically updates based on the user's current viewing context. The system detects which sporting event the user is watching and dynamically adjusts the displayed betting options to match, creating a responsive and intuitive user experience.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive list of posted odds is displayed to show all available betting options, then more betting opportunities are available, but the display is not updated frequently enough and becomes complicated to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects which sporting event the user is watching and self-adjusts the betting interface to display relevant options without requiring manual navigation or selection by the user. This eliminates the need for users to search through comprehensive lists, as the system proactively serves the appropriate betting context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the user's viewing context through camera and microphone inputs, providing real-time feedback to adjust the betting interface. This closed-loop approach ensures the displayed betting options always match the current sporting event, making navigation intuitive and immediate.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system uses camera and microphone inputs to determine user focus, then context-sensitive betting options can be provided, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses universal, multi-functional components (camera and microphone) that serve dual purposes: capturing environmental context for event detection and providing input for the betting interface. These standard device components are leveraged for multiple functions, reducing the need for specialized hardware while achieving context-sensitive operation.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method and system involving augmenting content. The system augments content for an active event subject to a focus of a user, in an environment including a presentation of two or more active events. The system includes: a user focus determination unit including a camera that captures video data associated with the focus of the user; a memory and a buffer that store digital fingerprints from the events; an active content determination component that compares one or more digital fingerprints from an active event with the captured video for determination of the event being focused on by the user; and a display that displays content and augments the determined active event being focused upon by the user that was identified by the active content determination component.
