Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional games of chance with complex rules are used, then expert players can enjoy the game, but non-expert players find it daunting and participation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy player as an intermediary between the non-expert bettor and the actual game. The proxy player handles the complex game operations while the bettor simply places bets, eliminating the need for non-experts to understand complex rules. This mediator approach allows anyone to participate in games of chance without needing to learn complicated game mechanics.
2Productivity
If proxy betting system is implemented, then broader audience participation increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy player serves multiple functions: they play the actual game, represent multiple bettors simultaneously, and handle all game-specific decisions. This multi-functionality allows the system to support many participants without proportionally increasing complexity, as one proxy can manage numerous bettors across different games.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual representation of the game outcome that can be bet on without requiring physical presence or direct game participation. Bettors place bets on copied game outcomes through the proxy, allowing remote and indirect participation that simplifies the user interface while maintaining game integrity.
3Reliability
If expert players are required for game participation, then game quality is maintained, but accessibility to casual players is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the gaming function into two distinct roles: expert proxy players who maintain game quality through their skills, and casual bettors who provide diversity in the player base. This segmentation allows each group to contribute their strengths without requiring them to possess both expertise and casual accessibility simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy player acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between expert game knowledge and casual participation. They translate complex game strategies into actionable bets for non-experts, maintaining game quality while enabling diverse participation from players of all skill levels.
