Custom Sign Content for Variable EGM Configurations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic sign components in casino environments lack customization capabilities to adapt to varying configurations of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and game themes, leading to ineffective and inconsistent signage.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilizes a processor to detect the configuration of sign components, receive user input for sign parameters, and generate customized content based on hardware configuration, game information, and user preferences, including dynamic adjustments based on gameplay actions and performance tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic sign components use fixed, non-customizable content, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to varying EGM configurations and game themes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple sign content templates associated with different game themes and EGM configurations. When a new configuration is detected, the system automatically selects and applies the appropriate pre-configured template, eliminating the need for manual configuration while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores multiple copies of sign content templates corresponding to different game themes and configurations. These templates are replicated and applied to different sign components based on the detected configuration, enabling consistent customization without complex real-time generation.
2Manufacturing precision
If sign content is manually configured for each EGM configuration, then manufacturing precision of sign content matching is improved, but loss of time for configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the EGM configuration parameters (such as game type, denomination, and machine arrangement) and self-configures the sign content by selecting the appropriate pre-defined templates. This eliminates manual configuration time while maintaining precise matching through automated detection and selection algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
Configuration templates are pre-prepared and stored in the system before deployment. When EGMs are installed or reconfigured, the system immediately applies the appropriate pre-configured template without requiring manual setup, thus reducing configuration time to near-zero while maintaining accuracy.
3Productivity
If sign components display static content, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity in engaging players and increasing EGM performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables sign components to dynamically change content based on detected gameplay actions, player interactions, and time-based triggers. Sign content can transition between different templates, adjust brightness and color intensity, and respond to win/loss events, thereby increasing player engagement without requiring complex manual control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where sign content automatically adjusts based on real-time detection of player behavior, win/loss events, and game state changes. This closed-loop approach allows the sign to respond intelligently to current conditions, enhancing engagement while maintaining automated operation.
