Game Judgment System Using Image Recognition and IC Tag Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current game judgment systems cannot prevent the intentional or mistaken return of more game chips than a player is entitled to as dividends, posing a burden on game hall management.
Innovation Solution
A game judgment system comprising a reading unit for chip information, an information accumulation unit, a difference judgment unit, a game result judgment unit, and an inconsistency judgment unit to automatically verify game results and dividends, detecting inconsistencies and notifying authorities of incorrect dividend returns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual verification of game chips is performed, then accuracy in detecting fraudulent dividends is improved, but labor burden and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification of game chips with an automated optical recognition system. The system uses imaging devices to capture images of game chips on the betting board, automatically identifies chip values through image processing, and verifies dividend accuracy without human intervention. This substitution eliminates time consumption while maintaining or improving verification accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service verification by automatically comparing the sum of game chip values against the declared dividend amount. The game management device autonomously detects inconsistencies between bet amounts and payout amounts, eliminating the need for manual labor while providing continuous automated monitoring of game integrity.
2Measurement precision
If all chip information is accumulated for verification, then detection accuracy is improved, but storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the essential information needed for verification - specifically, the sum of game chip values and their correspondence to dividend amounts. Rather than storing all raw chip data, the system extracts key verification parameters (chip values, positions, and dividend correlations) for storage and comparison, reducing storage requirements while maintaining detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary calculation of the sum of game chip values as they are placed on the betting board. This pre-computed sum is stored and later compared against the declared dividend amount, eliminating the need to store and re-process individual chip data during verification. This preliminary action reduces storage burden while preserving verification capability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system reduces the load on game hall managers by automatically judging game results and dividend accuracy, preventing incorrect returns of game chips and optimizing storage capacity by discarding redundant information.
Implementation Method 1
a reading unit that regularly reads chip information which is information on game chips placed in a predetermined range on the game betting board
Data Source
AI summary
A server device uses cameras to capture the images of cards dealt to players and a dealer. The server device automatically judges the game win/lose result of the players and the dealer and the dividends of the players through image recognition based on the card images from the cameras. The server device reads information from the wireless IC tags provided on game chips to judge the dividends of the players. The server device compares between the two dividends of a player to judge whether or not the dividends are inconsistent. If the dividends are inconsistent, the server device notifies the dealer and a casino hotel manager that the dividends are inconsistent.
