Master Identifier Controller for Wagering Game Credential Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of wagering game systems often need to manage multiple access credentials for different systems, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming, as each system has its own access control logic and credentials.
Innovation Solution
A master identifier controller is introduced that can store and manage multiple access credentials for a user, allowing access to multiple wagering game systems using a single set of credentials, such as usernames, passwords, or biometric information, and facilitates data exchange and user information management across systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If each wagering game system uses its own access control logic and credentials, then system security and independence are maintained, but user convenience and operational efficiency deteriorate due to the need to manage multiple access credentials
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a master identifier controller as an intermediary component that mediates between users and multiple wagering game systems. This controller stores multiple access credentials and automatically provides the appropriate credentials when a user attempts to access different systems, eliminating the need for users to manually manage multiple credentials while maintaining system security through the intermediary's controlled access mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The master identifier controller serves multiple functions: it acts as a credential storage repository, an authentication intermediary, and a system access coordinator. By making this single component responsible for managing access across multiple wagering game systems, the patent reduces the overall complexity of credential management while maintaining the security and independence of each individual system
2Productivity
If multiple access credentials are required for different wagering game systems, then system independence and security are preserved, but time consumption and operational efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The master identifier controller performs preliminary actions by pre-storing multiple access credentials and pre-establishing authentication relationships between users and systems. When a user needs to access a wagering game system, the controller has already prepared the appropriate credentials in advance, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual credential entry and switching between different authentication systems
3Ease of operation
If separate access control logic is implemented in each wagering game system, then system autonomy and security are maintained, but user management complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The master identifier controller serves as an intermediary that simplifies user interaction with multiple systems. Users only need to interact with this single controller for credential management, while the controller handles the complexity of communicating with each individual wagering game system's access control logic, thereby maintaining system autonomy while reducing user management burden

AI summary
Techniques for processing user information in wagering game systems are described herein. In some embodiments, a system includes a first wagering game system to assign a first set of access credentials to a user, wherein the first wagering system is connected to a first set of wagering game machines. The system can also include a second wagering game system to assign a second set of access credentials to the user, wherein the second wagering system connected to a second set of wagering game machines. The systems can also include a master identifier controller to receive and store the first and second sets of access credentials, to receive requests to access the first wagering game system based on the second set of user access credentials, and to facilitate access the first wagering game system based on the second set of user access credentials.
