Gaming Event Focus Mode for Single-Screen Wagering Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing event platforms present interactive elements in a complex and cluttered manner, making it difficult for users to navigate and identify desired elements, especially on mobile and wearable devices.
Innovation Solution
A focus mode user interface that organizes event information and interactive elements using gesture inputs, allowing users to easily navigate through event categories and wagering options on a single screen, including swipe and tap gestures to select and confirm selections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple events and interactive elements are presented on the same screen, then information completeness is improved, but interface complexity and difficulty of navigation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into distinct functional zones: event information section, interactive elements section, and navigation controls. Each zone serves a specific purpose and can be independently adjusted or collapsed, allowing comprehensive information display while maintaining interface organization and reducing perceived complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes spatial arrangement and layering to organize multiple events and interactive elements. Interactive elements are positioned in relation to their corresponding events, and additional information can be accessed through collapsible sections or overlay panels, effectively using two-dimensional screen space to manage three-dimensional information hierarchy.
2Ease of operation
If multiple interactive elements are displayed across multiple pages, then interface simplicity is improved, but navigation time and user frustration increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple interactive elements that would traditionally require navigation across multiple pages are merged and displayed together on a single screen. The interface consolidates event details, interactive options, and control elements into one unified view, eliminating the need for page transitions and reducing navigation time while maintaining operational simplicity through organized layout.
3Reliability
If comprehensive event information is provided, then decision quality is improved, but information overload and user confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
Different sections of the interface provide different levels of information density and detail. Critical decision-making information is prominently displayed with high visibility, while supplementary information is organized in collapsible sections or adjacent panels. This allows users to access comprehensive information when needed while maintaining a clean, non-overwhelming primary view that prevents confusion.

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a focus mode which allows a user to navigate events on an application and engage with interactive elements associated with the event. The focus mode condenses the event offerings presented in an application to one or more event categories with a single event displayed at a time for the selected category. The user may then navigate through event cards within the event category and wagering options associated with the event by providing various gesture inputs. Ultimately, the focus mode provides a simplified interface that allow users to explore wagering options and submit a wager for an event from an event category on the same focus mode user interface.
