Automated Lottery Game Piece Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional lottery systems lack efficiency and transparency in distributing prizes, as they often rely on manual processes and do not provide real-time feedback to players, leading to delays and potential disputes over winning outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A computer-operated method for conducting a lottery-type game that involves generating and comparing game pieces, where a computer system provides game data and randomly generates additional data based on predetermined rules, enabling players to determine their winnings through a visual pattern or code-based system, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual processes are used for lottery prize distribution, then the system is simpler to implement, but the speed and accuracy of determining winners is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with an automated computer system that generates game pieces, determines winning outcomes, and provides real-time feedback. The computer system executes predetermined rules and randomly generates game data, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining system reliability through digital automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables players to independently verify their winning status by providing them with game pieces containing both their selected data and the randomly generated outcome data. Players can compare their own data against the generated data without requiring manual verification from lottery operators,实现 self-service prize determination.
2Reliability
If manual processes are used for lottery operations, then the system requires less technology infrastructure, but manual errors increase and transparency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to players by including their game data and the randomly generated outcome data on the same game piece. Players can immediately verify whether they have won prizes by comparing their selected data against the generated data, eliminating delays and disputes associated with manual verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The computer system generates digital copies of game data and outcome data that are provided to players on game pieces. These digital copies serve as verifiable records that players can independently check, ensuring accuracy and transparency without requiring complex physical verification infrastructure.
3Loss of information
If real-time feedback is provided to players, then player satisfaction and transparency improve, but the processing load on the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The computer system generates all necessary game data and outcome data in advance before the player even completes their selection. The game piece is prepared with both the player's selected data and the randomly generated outcome data already embedded, allowing immediate verification without requiring additional real-time processing when the player submits their entry.

AI summary
In some embodiments, the instant invention provides a computer-implemented method to conduct a drawing game that at least includes: providing a first game piece, where the first game piece has a first game data of the drawing game; receiving the first game data of the drawing game; determining a second game data of the drawing game based at least in part on: the first game data, where the second data includes the first game data, and a predetermined rule; randomly generating a third game data of the drawing game; providing a second game piece having the second game data and the third game data of the drawing game to a player, where the second game piece is capable of enabling the player to determine, by comparing the second game data and the third game data of the drawing game, whether the player wins a prize of the drawing game.
