Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for providing wagering over computerized networks are slow, difficult to use, lack user interaction, fail to promote additional use, do not generate tax dollars, and do not provide game developers with control over wagering processes, leading to vulnerabilities and a lack of intense user and spectator experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that integrates a multi-player game with a game mechanics module and a wagering module, allowing real-time wagering options, automatic taxation, and seamless integration of wagering into the game, eliminating the need for external interfaces and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If external third-party interfaces are used for wagering, then wagering functionality is provided, but system complexity increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the wagering module directly into the game executable code, eliminating external third-party interfaces. The wagering functionality is combined with the game mechanics module to form a unified integrated system, which resolves the contradiction by providing wagering functionality while simultaneously improving system reliability through reduced interface complexity and direct control.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated wagering module serves multiple functions within the game system - it handles wagering transactions, integrates with game mechanics, and provides user interface functionality all through a single unified component. This multi-functionality approach provides the needed wagering capability while reducing system complexity compared to separate external systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If external third-party interfaces are used for wagering, then wagering functionality is provided, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wagering module is merged into the game executable code, eliminating the need for separate external third-party interfaces. This integration reduces device complexity by consolidating multiple functions into a single unified system while maintaining full wagering functionality.
3Ease of operation
If wagering is integrated into the game, then user engagement increases, but implementation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wagering module is integrated directly into the game executable code, allowing wagering options to be presented to users during gameplay without requiring separate external interfaces. This integration enhances user engagement by making wagering seamless while managing implementation complexity through unified code structure.
4Device complexity
If manual wagering processes are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated wagering module automatically processes wagering transactions within the game system without requiring manual external intervention. The system self-manages wager validation, transaction processing, and result determination, which increases productivity while maintaining relative system simplicity through automation of routine functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary validation and processing of wagering transactions before final execution. Wagers are validated against game state and rules in advance, and transactions are prepared for processing, which increases productivity by preventing errors and streamlining the wagering workflow while keeping the system structure relatively simple.
