Solution Overview

Problem

Current poker training software lacks the ability to provide dynamic analysis and real-time feedback during gameplay, relying on static rules and post-game reviews, which are inadequate for complex poker situations and do not account for the element of luck, leading to inefficient training and analysis.

Innovation Solution

A method for analyzing an individual's poker performance using a computer processor system that allows playing poker in an Internet browser, with a software engine performing dynamic analysis of strategy based on decisions made during the game, providing real-time feedback and improving future gameplay.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If static rules and post-game review methods are used, then the analysis system is simple to implement, but the analysis accuracy and adaptability to complex poker situations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic analysis by continuously monitoring player decisions during the game and adjusting recommendations in real-time based on the current game state, player history, and opponent patterns. This dynamic approach replaces static rules with adaptive algorithms that learn from each hand played, significantly improving analysis accuracy while managing system complexity through structured data collection and processing frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides real-time feedback to players during the game by analyzing their decisions moment-by-moment and offering immediate recommendations. This feedback mechanism involves continuous data collection during gameplay, processing decisions against established strategies, and presenting actionable advice without requiring post-game review, thereby enhancing analysis precision while maintaining manageable system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If real-time dynamic analysis is performed during gameplay, then the training effectiveness and feedback quality improve, but the computational resources and processing time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-calculating optimal strategies and establishing baseline performance metrics before the actual gameplay begins. This preparation allows the system to focus computational resources during real-time play on only the necessary decisions, rather than continuously analyzing all possible game states, thereby improving training efficiency while controlling computational energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial analysis by focusing computational power on specific critical decision points rather than analyzing every possible action uniformly. The system identifies key moments in the game where strategic decisions are most impactful and concentrates resources on those moments, achieving high training efficiency while minimizing overall computational energy consumption compared to exhaustive analysis approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of information

If comprehensive dynamic analysis of all game decisions is provided, then the analysis comprehensiveness and accuracy improve, but the information overload and difficulty for players to apply the advice increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidease of applying advice
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the comprehensive analysis into distinct, manageable components organized by game phase, decision type, and strategic category. Instead of presenting a monolithic analysis of all decisions, the patent breaks down the feedback into structured sections that address specific aspects of play separately, making the information more digestible and easier for players to apply while maintaining complete analytical coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring the level of detail and type of feedback to the specific context of each decision point. Rather than providing uniform comprehensive analysis everywhere, the system adjusts the granularity and focus of the advice based on the local situation - providing detailed breakdowns for critical strategic moments while offering simpler guidance for routine decisions, thereby maintaining information completeness while enhancing ease of application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A training and analysis method and system for the card game poker are disclosed. Some embodiments can be run in an Internet browser. Some embodiments introduce “dynamic analysis”, which examines the end user's long term strengths and weaknesses. In other words, the analysis is done considering all the end user's actions both individually and as a whole picture. The end user can receive a detailed analysis of past performance at any point in the poker session.
