Gaming Machine Lamp Body Gesture-Responsive LED Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gaming machines lack features that enhance player engagement and excitement, relying on passive notification systems rather than active control mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a light-emitting formed object with sensors to detect player gestures, allowing the gaming machine to dynamically change its light emission modes in response, creating an interactive experience that enhances player engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a passive notification system is used in the gaming machine, then the device complexity is reduced, but the gaming excitement and player engagement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by detecting player gestures through sensors and responding with corresponding light emission patterns from the formed object. The controller monitors player interactions and dynamically adjusts the lighting effects, creating a closed-loop system where the gaming machine actively responds to player actions, thereby enhancing engagement without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The formed object with light emitting portions serves itself by automatically changing its illumination pattern in response to detected gestures. The system uses the player's own actions as input, eliminating the need for complex external control interfaces while maintaining high adaptability and player engagement
2Adaptability or versatility
If the light emitting portion changes emission mode in sync with player gestures, then the gaming excitement is enhanced, but the use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting portions operate in periodic cycles, illuminating only during detected gesture events rather than continuously. The controller activates specific light emitting portions for specific durations based on gesture detection, creating intermittent operation patterns that reduce overall energy consumption while maintaining high player engagement during active gameplay moments
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of illuminating the entire formed object uniformly, the system selectively activates specific light emitting portions based on the detected gesture location and type. This localized illumination approach reduces energy consumption by activating only the necessary portions while maintaining high visual impact and gaming excitement at the relevant locations
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 solution significantly increases gaming excitement by transforming the gaming machine into an active control device that reacts to player interactions, providing a more immersive and engaging experience.
Implementation Method 1
a sensor that detects a player's gesture
Implementation Method 2
a formed object provided with a light emitting portion so that the lighting state of the light emitting portion is viewable from the outside
Data Source
AI summary
A gaming machine with more gaming excitement is provided. The gaming machine includes: a lamp body provided with LEDs so that the lighting state thereof is viewable from the outside; a sensor configured to detect a player's gesture with respect to the lamp body 132; and a controller used to start a game, the controller starting the detection of the player's gesture by the sensor at a timing corresponding to the state of the game, and causing the LEDs to emit light in a light emission mode in sync with the detected player's gesture while the player's gesture is being detected.
