Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple distinct software modules are used to implement different games, then game functionality and versatility are improved, but system complexity and development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dedicated linked game management software module as an intermediary between the first and second distinct game software modules. This mediator handles the coordination of executing the third game module based on results from the first and second modules, managing the complexity of inter-module interactions and data flow while preserving the benefits of multiple specialized game modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The linked game management software module serves multiple functions: it coordinates execution between different game modules, manages digital data exchange, handles normalization coefficients for different jurisdictions, and controls the flow between lottery games and jackpot games. This multi-functional approach reduces overall system complexity by consolidating management responsibilities in a single versatile component.
2Adaptability or versatility
If digital linked games are implemented across multiple jurisdictions, then market reach and player base are improved, but data normalization and compliance complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies normalization coefficients as adjustable parameters to adapt game data across different jurisdictions. The system modifies digital data by applying these coefficients during execution, allowing the same game logic to function correctly across various jurisdictions with different currencies, regulations, and operational parameters without requiring separate game modules for each jurisdiction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent separates jurisdiction-specific adaptations from core game logic by implementing normalization coefficients as distinct, configurable parameters. This segmentation allows the core game modules to remain universal while jurisdiction-specific requirements are handled through separate coefficient applications, simplifying compliance and data adaptation across multiple regions.
3Productivity
If a unified system manages multiple games and jurisdictions, then operational efficiency is improved, but development and implementation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The linked game management software module is designed as a universal component that handles coordination across multiple game modules and jurisdictions through standardized interfaces and normalization mechanisms. This universal design allows the system to manage diverse games and regions efficiently while avoiding the need to develop separate management systems for each game or jurisdiction, thereby controlling development costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses configurable normalization coefficients as adjustable parameters that can be modified for different jurisdictions without changing the underlying game logic or management architecture. This parameter-based approach allows operational efficiency across multiple regions while keeping development costs lower than creating custom implementations for each jurisdiction.

AI summary
A method in a system includes games devices and a server. The first device participates in the first and third games and the second device participates in second and third games. The server includes distinct software modules to implement the first, second and third games. The server further includes a linked game management software module to execute the software module linked to the third game following execution of the software module linked to the first or second game. Digital data to execute the third game is received by the linked game management software module. The digital data is received from the software module linked to the first or second game. The software module linked to the third game is updated according to the digital data received.
