Gaming Stream Capture and Mix Control for Live Casino Play
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gaming machines lack the capability to facilitate live streaming of gaming sessions, limiting user engagement and interaction, and do not provide mechanisms for users to monetize their gaming experiences through live streaming platforms.
Innovation Solution
The system integrates a streaming electronic gaming machine with components such as a video camera, microphone, display device, and sound producing device to capture and stream gaming sessions, allowing users to broadcast their gameplay and interact with viewers, while enabling features like supplemental content overlays and viewer interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If gaming machines are enhanced with live streaming components (video camera, microphone, display device), then user engagement and interaction are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming machine is designed to perform multiple functions: traditional gaming operations and live streaming broadcasting. The system integrates video capture, audio capture, content generation, and streaming transmission capabilities within a single device, allowing it to serve both as a gaming terminal and a live streaming station, thereby improving user engagement without requiring separate dedicated devices
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines previously separate components (gaming machine, video camera, microphone, display device) into an integrated system. The gaming machine's processor generates streaming content from game data, while the video and audio components capture player reactions and commentary, merging these functions into a unified live streaming capability that enhances user engagement
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple components (video camera, microphone, display device, sound producing device) are integrated into the gaming machine, then live streaming capability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming machine is designed to perform multiple functions: traditional gaming operations and live streaming broadcasting. The system integrates video capture, audio capture, content generation, and streaming transmission capabilities within a single device, allowing it to serve both as a gaming terminal and a live streaming station, thereby improving user engagement without requiring separate dedicated devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: a video capture component (video camera), an audio capture component (microphone), a content generation component (processor that generates streaming content from game data), and a transmission component. This modular segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and tested independently, then assembled into the complete live streaming system, reducing overall manufacturing complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If the gaming machine captures and streams video and audio of the player, then viewer interaction is enhanced, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming machine's processor proactively generates streaming content from game data in advance of transmission. By pre-processing game data into structured streaming content formats and preparing video/audio feeds before broadcasting, the system reduces the computational burden during live transmission, enabling enhanced viewer interaction without overwhelming data processing requirements
