Remote Dart Game Cheating Detection via Camera Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for monitoring cheating in online dart games are limited by spatial constraints and lack effective mechanisms for determining legitimacy of play, hindering the participation of players without physical presence at a designated location.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the collection and processing of game data and multimedia information using a server and client device system, where feedback on play legitimacy is received and processed to determine cheating, allowing for remote monitoring and penalty imposition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a referee directly monitors cheating at the dart board location, then cheating detection capability is improved, but spatial constraint and operational inconvenience are caused
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera as an intermediary device to capture player actions and transmits this visual information to a remote referee through a communication network. This mediator enables the referee to monitor cheating behavior without being physically present at the dart board, eliminating spatial constraints while maintaining reliable cheating detection capability.
2Reliability
If online dart game contests are held at a designated place with referee monitoring, then cheating prevention is improved, but player accessibility and convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical referee presence and on-site monitoring with an electronic information transmission system. Cameras capture visual data, networks transmit this data, and remote referees analyze it digitally. This substitution allows players to participate from any location with internet access while maintaining effective cheating prevention through remote surveillance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If remote monitoring system with camera and network is implemented, then player accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a camera system that serves multiple functions: it captures player positioning, monitors throwing technique, records game progression, and detects potential cheating behaviors. This multi-functional device consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, reducing overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive remote monitoring and broad player accessibility.
