Solution Overview

Problem

Current online game systems do not facilitate social interaction among players and lack mechanisms to encourage cooperation, resulting in missed opportunities for gamers to enjoy social benefits during gameplay.

Innovation Solution

A jackpot game server system that connects multiple users to a virtual machine via a network, featuring a machine manager for real-time jackpot accumulation, a client manager for displaying game money, a dividend manager that increases dividends with more users, and a result sharer that distributes jackpots equally among users, promoting cooperation and shared game experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple users share one virtual machine to play online games, then social interaction and cooperation among players are enhanced, but the system complexity and management overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesocial interaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: a machine manager module that handles jackpot accumulation and virtual machine management, a client manager module that manages user connections and game sessions, and a result sharer module that distributes winnings. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling multi-user social interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between multiple users and the virtual machine, managing all interactions, jackpot accumulations, and result distributions. This intermediary role centralizes control logic, simplifying the coordination of multiple users sharing a single virtual machine while maintaining social interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If jackpot money is accumulated in real-time from multiple users playing together, then the total jackpot amount increases, but the difficulty of managing and distributing the winnings increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetotal jackpot moneyVSAvoidjackpot management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms where the machine manager continuously monitors and updates the jackpot amount as users play games, and the result sharer provides feedback on winnings to be distributed. This automated feedback loop simplifies the management of accumulating and distributing large jackpot amounts from multiple users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically accumulates jackpot money from game bets and automatically distributes winnings to users based on predetermined rules, eliminating the need for manual intervention in managing and distributing large jackpot amounts, thus reducing management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If the dividend of game money is increased for each user as more users share the virtual machine, then user participation and cooperation are encouraged, but the total cost to the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser participation rateVSAvoidsystem cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The dividend structure is dynamic, automatically adjusting the bonus amount based on the number of users sharing the virtual machine. As more users participate, the system dynamically increases the dividend per user, encouraging further participation while automatically managing the cost distribution through the dividend manager module.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the dividend parameter based on user count, implementing a scalable reward structure where the bonus amount per user is adjusted according to the number of participants. This parameter change approach allows the system to encourage participation while maintaining cost control through automated calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A jackpot game server that provides an online game includes: a machine manager that manages total jackpot money in each virtual machine by accumulating jackpots won by one or more users, who share each of the virtual machines; a dividend manager that, as a number of users who share one virtual machine increases, increases a dividend of game money acquirable among the total jackpot money accumulated in the one virtual machine by each of the at least one user who shares the one virtual machine; and a result sharer that distributes an online game play result, which is acquired by a certain user among the one or more users who share the one virtual machine, to other users who share the one virtual machine.
