Mobile Video Capture and AI Verification for Golf Skill Wagers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online betting systems are unable to allow users to place wagers based on their own participation in sporting events due to difficulties in verifying real-time outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A computer system with a mobile computing device and video camera that captures and analyzes video images of a user's performance in a skill-based event, such as golf, to verify successful completion and award tokens or bets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video recording and analysis is implemented to verify real-time outcomes, then users can place wagers on their own performance, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single mobile device system: video recording, AI-powered analysis, outcome verification, and wagering processing are all integrated into one device. This merging approach enables the system to handle complete verification workflows without requiring separate complex infrastructure for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the user's own mobile device to capture and verify their performance, eliminating the need for external verification infrastructure. The device itself performs recording, analysis, and verification, making the system self-sufficient and reducing overall complexity.
2Measurement precision
If AI video analysis is used to detect skill shot completion, then verification accuracy improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing the entire video sequence before analysis begins. The video is recorded in its entirety first, then the AI analysis processes the pre-captured footage. This approach allows for thorough analysis without time pressure during the actual skill shot execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated AI video analysis. Instead of human reviewers examining footage, machine learning algorithms automatically detect skill shot completion, providing both high accuracy and efficient processing without human time constraints.
