Gaming Device Web Page Interaction for Real-Time Content Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gaming devices face regulatory delays and inflexibility in updating software, limiting the ability to offer new games or real-time gaming experiences due to lengthy review processes in many jurisdictions.
Innovation Solution
A method enabling interaction with Web pages on gaming devices by providing a Web page from a Web server to a gaming device, receiving interaction information, and sending requests to a gaming property server to update content dynamically, allowing for real-time changes and enhanced player experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If software updates are made to gaming devices to provide new games and enhanced choices, then gaming flexibility and player experience are improved, but regulatory review delays increase the time required for implementation
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments gaming content into two parts: regulated core gaming software stored on the gaming device, and dynamic web-based content stored remotely on web server devices. This allows the regulated portion to remain stable while the web content can be updated independently without triggering regulatory review processes.
Solution Approach 2:
A web server device acts as an intermediary between the gaming device and the content update system. The web server stores and serves dynamic web pages that enhance gaming flexibility without requiring direct modification of the regulated gaming device software, thus bypassing regulatory review delays.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple games are offered on a single gaming device to provide greater choices, then gaming flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming device is equipped with a web browser capability that enables it to display various web-based games and content from different web server devices. This universal web access functionality allows a single device to offer diverse gaming choices without requiring multiple specialized games to be installed locally, thereby reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The web server device serves as an intermediary that hosts multiple different games and content types. Instead of loading all games onto the gaming device, the web server delivers game content on-demand, allowing the gaming device to offer diverse choices without storing multiple game installations, thus reducing device complexity.

AI summary
A Web page is received at a gaming device from a Web server device and then displayed. Information indicative of a player's interaction with the Web page is received at the Web server device. The Web server device sends a request to a gaming property server device based at least in part on the interaction, and the gaming property server device sends a reply to the Web server device. The Web server device then provides Web content to the gaming device based at least in part on the reply. A display of the gaming device is changed based at least in part on the Web content.
