Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If payout information is displayed in a predetermined currency unit (e.g., pesos), then the gaming machine can process transactions efficiently, but players accustomed to other currency units (e.g., dollars) cannot understand the displayed monetary amount
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatus serves as an intermediary between the gaming machine and the player. It receives payout information from the gaming machine in the predetermined currency unit, converts it to the player's accustomed currency unit using stored exchange rate information, and transmits the converted information to the player's information processing apparatus. This mediator resolves the contradiction by maintaining efficient processing in the original currency while providing understandable display in the player's currency.
2Device complexity
If the gaming machine uses a fixed predetermined currency unit for all transactions, then the system structure remains simple, but it cannot accommodate players from different regions with different currency preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatus introduces dynamic currency conversion capability without changing the gaming machine's fixed predetermined currency unit. The apparatus stores multiple exchange rate information and dynamically selects and applies the appropriate conversion based on the player's preferred currency unit. This allows the system to adapt to different regional currencies while maintaining the simplicity of the gaming machine's internal structure.
