Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional casino games are used, then expert players can participate and enjoy the games, but non-expert players cannot engage meaningfully, limiting the audience and revenue potential
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy player as an intermediary who bridges the gap between non-expert bettors and expert game players. The proxy player acts on behalf of non-experts, placing bets and playing games they would otherwise be unable to participate in, while non-experts retain control and financial stake. This mediator enables audience expansion without requiring non-experts to learn complex game rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the gaming experience into distinct roles: non-expert bettors who provide capital and betting instructions, proxy players who execute gameplay actions, and expert players who provide skill-based performance. This segmentation allows each participant to engage at their appropriate skill level while contributing to the overall gaming ecosystem.
2Productivity
If games require expert skills and complex analysis, then game quality and expertise are maintained, but participation is limited to a small group of experts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copying mechanism where non-expert bettors can replicate the gaming experience of experts through proxy players. The proxy player copies the expert's playing style, strategy, and decision-making patterns, allowing non-experts to participate in expert-level games without needing to develop expert skills themselves. This expands the player base while maintaining game quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy player system creates a universal platform that serves multiple functions: it enables non-experts to play expert games, allows experts to be followed and replicated, provides betting opportunities for diverse audiences, and maintains game integrity. This multi-functionality transforms a specialized expert activity into a universally accessible entertainment product.
3Productivity
If non-experts want to participate in expert games, then audience and revenue increase, but non-experts lack the skills and time to learn and play effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-selecting and vetting expert players and proxy players before non-experts need to engage. Experts and proxies are already established, trained, and ready to perform, eliminating the need for non-experts to invest time in learning game skills. Non-experts can immediately participate by selecting from available experts and proxies.
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy player system enables self-service for non-experts by automating the skill-matching and execution process. Non-experts input their betting preferences and parameters, and the system automatically matches them with appropriate experts and proxy players who can execute the gameplay. This eliminates the need for non-experts to personally learn or practice game skills.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a proxy system is implemented to allow non-expert participation, then audience and revenue increase, but the system complexity and infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into the proxy player role: account management, game execution, skill performance, and communication between non-experts and experts. This consolidation reduces system complexity by creating a single versatile intermediary rather than requiring separate systems for each function. The proxy player becomes a multi-functional node that simplifies the overall architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy player serves as a communication intermediary that simplifies interactions between non-experts and experts. Rather than requiring direct communication or complex coordination protocols, the proxy player receives instructions from non-experts and executes them through experts, providing a simple, standardized interface that reduces system complexity while enabling diverse participation.
