Dynamic Card Display Modification for Remote Gaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic table games lack the ability to dynamically modify and personalize the display of physical playing cards for remote players, limiting the interactive experience and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A system that captures images of physical playing cards dealt at a gaming table, modifies them based on designated attributes, and streams the modified data to remote gaming terminals for personalized display, including features like rank and suit changes, bonuses, and awards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If physical playing cards are used in electronic table games, then the game can be played with real cards and live dealer, but the remote players cannot see the actual cards and experience limited interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system captures images of physical playing cards and creates virtual copies of these cards to be displayed on remote gaming terminals. The image capture device takes photographs of the physical cards, and the processing system generates digital representations that can be transmitted to and displayed on remote devices, allowing players to see the actual cards without being physically present at the table
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer between the physical cards and the remote display. The processing system receives images from the capture device, modifies them according to game rules and player preferences, and then transmits the processed images to remote terminals. This intermediary layer enables information transfer and customization without direct connection between the physical cards and remote displays
2Adaptability or versatility
If the same physical cards are displayed to all remote players, then the system is simple to operate, but the gameplay experience lacks personalization and becomes static
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically modifies card images based on real-time game conditions and player preferences. The processing system can change card attributes such as rank, suit, color, or add special effects like bonuses and awards depending on the game state and player selections, transforming static card displays into dynamic, adaptive content
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different modifications to card images for different players based on their individual preferences and game conditions. Each remote player can receive customized card displays tailored to their specific game situation, while the physical cards at the table remain unchanged. This allows personalized experiences without affecting the actual game play
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple attributes are assigned to designated playing cards, then more game features and bonuses can be implemented, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the card attributes into distinct categories such as rank, suit, color, bonuses, and awards. Each attribute can be independently managed, captured, and modified. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple features by processing them as separate data elements, making the overall complex system more manageable through modular attribute handling
