Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a hosted gaming platform is implemented to provide backend data services to multiple players and games, then flexibility and scalability are improved, but data security and integrity challenges increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoiddata security challenges
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data into different categories (player data, game data, transaction data) and applies sandboxing to isolate different gaming components. This allows the platform to serve multiple players and games with improved flexibility while maintaining data security through isolation boundaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A secure communication layer acts as an intermediary between the hosted gaming platform and client devices. This intermediary handles data transmission securely, enabling the platform to provide services to multiple players without compromising data integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If spin results are determined remotely by a hosted gaming platform, then centralized control and security are improved, but response time and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecentralized controlVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading game data, player information, and RNG seeds into client devices before actual gameplay. This allows the hosted platform to maintain centralized control while reducing real-time response time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous communication channels and pre-established data streams between the hosted platform and client devices. This ensures that spin results can be delivered promptly without interrupting the gameplay flow, balancing centralized control with fast response times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Ease of operation

If graphical stop spin indications are implemented to enhance user experience, then player engagement is improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses graphical representations and visual indicators to display spin results and stop spin indications. These graphical copies of the actual spin state provide enhanced user experience without requiring complex real-time rendering of the entire spin mechanism, thus managing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The innovations herein concern workflow improvements for a hosted gaming environment to provide improved flexibility, scalability, and data security. In particular, a hosted gaming platform may be used to provide backend data services, such as the determination of spin results for slot-based games, to a number of different players and/or game types, while maintaining a consistent and seamless user experience. According to some embodiments, a hosted gaming platform may receive a first spin request from a current round of a first gameplay session executing at a frontend gaming client and then execute the first spin request to produce one or more spin results. The hosted gaming platform may then return the one or more spin results to the frontend gaming client, wherein the one or more spin results arrive at the frontend gaming client during a first reel spin duration of the first gameplay session at the frontend gaming client.
