Gacha Probability Transparency via Blockchain User Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in acquiring reliable probability information for gacha systems in online games, leading to decreased user interest due to low confidence in the provided probability information by game service providers.
Innovation Solution
A method is implemented to share gacha system probability information between user terminals using a blockchain network, where user terminals acquire and share gacha event information to calculate and display reliable probability information, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the game service provider provides probability information through centralized control, then the system operation is simple, but the reliability and user trust in the probability information is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain network as an intermediary between the game service provider and users. The blockchain distributes and stores probability information across multiple nodes, acting as a neutral mediator that prevents single-point control while ensuring data integrity. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining system reliability through decentralized verification without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the centralized probability information system into multiple distributed nodes on the blockchain network. Each node stores and verifies probability information independently, breaking the monolithic centralized structure into smaller, verifiable units. This segmentation enables users to trust the distributed system while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized protocols.
2Reliability
If the game service provider provides probability information through centralized control, then the system operation is simple, but the user confidence in the probability information is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where users can verify probability information through blockchain transactions and smart contracts. The system provides transparent feedback loops that allow users to independently confirm the authenticity and accuracy of probability data, thereby building user confidence without requiring complex manual verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The blockchain network serves as a trusted intermediary that enhances user confidence by providing immutable, verifiable records of probability information. Users can trust the system because the blockchain mediator ensures that the probability data has not been tampered with, resolving the confidence issue without proportionally increasing system complexity.
3Productivity
If users cannot acquire reliable probability information, then the system operation is simple, but the user interest and engagement decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to independently verify probability information through blockchain transactions and smart contracts without requiring complex manual verification processes. Users can self-service by querying the blockchain for probability data and confirming its authenticity, which enhances user engagement while keeping the verification mechanism relatively simple and automated.

AI summary
A method of acquiring probability information of a gacha system includes: acquiring, by a first user terminal, second gacha event information that is information about a gacha event occurring in a second user terminal; acquiring, by the first user terminal, third gacha event information that is information about a gacha event occurring in a third user terminal; acquiring probability information of the gacha system based on the acquired second gacha event information and third gacha event information; and displaying the acquired probability information of the gacha system.
