Cryptographic Token Player Information Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wagering games in casino environments face challenges in efficiently and securely tracking player information, which is essential for operators and manufacturers to understand player behavior and performance.
Innovation Solution
A cryptographic token system is implemented, where player information is embedded in a cryptographic token, transferred to a player wallet, and subsequently provided to a player tracking server, enabling secure and efficient data collection and tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If player information is collected and transferred to manufacturers and operators, then player behavior analysis and loyalty programs are improved, but data security risks and information loss increase
Solution Approach 1:
A cryptographic token serves as an intermediary carrier between the gaming device and the player wallet. The token embeds player information in an encrypted form, allowing secure data transfer without exposing sensitive information during transmission. This intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by enabling information transfer while maintaining security through encryption layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a cryptographic copy of player information within the token structure. This copy contains encrypted player data that can be transferred and stored in the wallet without altering the original information. The copying process allows data to be replicated securely across different systems while maintaining integrity and security.
2Productivity
If player tracking and data collection systems are implemented, then player behavior analysis is improved, but system complexity and administrative burdens increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cryptographic token system enables self-service data collection where the token automatically carries and transfers player information without requiring complex centralized processing systems. The token itself embeds and transports the data, reducing the need for complex tracking infrastructure and administrative interventions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts player information from the gaming device and encapsulates it within the cryptographic token structure. This extraction separates the data collection function from the complex tracking system, allowing efficient data capture while simplifying the overall system architecture by removing unnecessary complexity.
3Loss of information
If cryptographic tokens are used to embed player information, then data security is improved, but token management and transfer processes become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cryptographic token serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a data carrier, an encryption container, and a transfer medium. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate complex processes into a single unified token operation, making token management simpler while maintaining strong security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the player information, encryption keys, and transfer instructions into a single integrated cryptographic token. This combining of multiple functions into one object simplifies the transfer process, as the token handles all necessary operations in a unified manner rather than requiring separate complex steps.
Data Source
AI summary
A processor circuit determines player information associated with a first player of a wagering game at a gaming device. The processor circuit embeds the player information in a cryptographic token. The processor circuit transfers the cryptographic token to a player wallet associated with the first player. The processor circuit, in response to the transfer, provides the embedded player information to a player tracking server.
