Graphical Maze for Real-Time Wagering Pathways
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional wagering platforms only allow users to bet on the final outcome of an event, limiting participation and engagement during the event's progression.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method generates a graphical maze representation of potential scoring occurrences, enabling users to place wagers on specific sequences of events in real-time, with graphical pathways representing wagering selections, and updates in real-time based on the event's progression, allowing for dynamic wagering and payout calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional wagering platforms only allow bets on final outcome, then the system is simple to operate, but user engagement and participation are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wagering process into discrete time-based stages corresponding to potential scoring occurrences. Each scoring occurrence is divided into selectable graphical positions representing different outcomes. This segmentation allows users to place wagers on specific moments and outcomes throughout the event progression, transforming a single final-outcome bet into multiple staged betting opportunities without overwhelming system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to traditional wagering by introducing time-based progression through multiple scoring occurrences. The graphical user interface displays wagering options across different time stages of the event, allowing users to bet on sequences of outcomes rather than just the final result. This dimensional expansion enhances versatility while maintaining user-friendly navigation through visual pathway selection
2Adaptability or versatility
If graphical representation of all potential scoring occurrences is displayed, then user can place wagers on specific sequences, but the interface becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual wagering selections into unified graphical pathways. Instead of presenting users with separate controls for each scoring occurrence and outcome, the system combines them into continuous visual paths that represent complete sequences of outcomes. Users select entire pathways rather than individual points, simplifying the interface while maintaining the ability to wager on specific sequences of scoring occurrences
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization of all potential scoring occurrences and their outcomes into pre-structured graphical pathways before presentation to the user. The system pre-calculates and displays valid sequences of outcomes that lead to winning conditions, so users don't need to navigate complex combinations themselves. This preliminary structuring reduces interface complexity while preserving wagering granularity
3Productivity
If real-time updates are provided during event progression, then user engagement increases, but system processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the relevant subset of information needed for real-time wagering updates - specifically, the current event state and matching pathways - rather than processing and displaying all possible data combinations. The system selectively updates only those graphical pathways that remain valid based on current event progression, reducing processing requirements while maintaining high user engagement through timely, relevant feedback
Data Source
AI summary
A system, a method, and a computer program product for generating graphical representations of wagering selections. A plurality of potential scoring occurrences in an event is received. A graphical representation of each of the potential scoring occurrences on a user interface is generated based on the received first data. A plurality of graphical positions corresponding to a portion of the plurality of potential scoring occurrences is selected to generate at least one graphical pathway identifying at least one wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event. During a progression of the event, a determination is made whether at least one identified wagering selection in the plurality of wagering selections for the event did not generate a winning wager, where such selection is removed from the user interface. At the conclusion of the event, a winning amount based on the plurality of selected graphical positions is displayed.
