Gaming Terminal Interface Segmentation for Wagering Expertise
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic gaming machines fail to provide a personalized and user-friendly experience for players with varying levels of sporting event wagering expertise, as they do not effectively differentiate and tailor the displayed wagering options and interfaces based on individual user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A gaming terminal system that determines a user's sporting event wagering experience level and customizes the displayed content and interface, restricting or enabling wagering options based on their expertise, using a processor and memory device to execute instructions that modify the display and availability of wagers accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the gaming terminal displays all available wagering options for different sporting events, then the system provides comprehensive wagering opportunities, but the interface becomes complex and overwhelming for novice users
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming terminal interface is segmented into different views based on user experience level. Novice users see a simplified single-event interface, while experienced users access a multi-event interface. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive wagering opportunities without overwhelming novice users with complex interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adapts its complexity based on the detected user experience level. The system transitions between a simple single-event display mode and a complex multi-event display mode, allowing the interface to be versatile for different users while maintaining simplicity for novices.
2Ease of operation
If the gaming terminal provides a simplified interface for novice users, then the ease of operation improves, but the system cannot provide access to multiple sporting events simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the user's experience level before presenting wagering options. Based on this preliminary assessment, it pre-configures the appropriate interface complexity, ensuring novice users receive a simplified easy-to-operate interface while experienced users receive comprehensive multi-event access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the interface parameter (complexity level) based on the user experience level parameter. By detecting and responding to user expertise, the system adjusts whether to display a single simplified sporting event or multiple complex events, balancing ease of operation with versatility.
3Ease of operation
If the system tracks and responds to user experience levels, then personalized user experience is achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming terminal performs self-assessment of the user's experience level through detection mechanisms, automatically determining whether to present a novice or experienced user interface without requiring manual user input. This self-service approach enables personalized experience while managing system complexity through automated detection and response.
