Solution Overview

Problem

Existing gaming and gambling systems fail to provide users with a consistent experience and access to their accounts and stored value across multiple jurisdictions, and lack the sophistication to subtly influence user behavior based on preset thresholds and responsive actions.

Innovation Solution

A distributed gaming system that maintains a single account and wallet across multiple jurisdictions, utilizing geolocation services to replicate functionality and detect potentially detrimental gaming activity, offering education, intervention, and prevention measures, including machine learning to assess risk levels and provide tailored responses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a distributed gaming system implements multiple separate accounts for different jurisdictions, then compliance with local regulations is improved, but user experience consistency and access to account information deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with local regulationsVSAvoiduser experience consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments account management by creating jurisdiction-specific account records that are physically separated and stored in different locations, while maintaining a unified logical view for users. Each jurisdiction has its own account instance with local compliance rules, but users access a consolidated interface that presents a single consistent account experience across all jurisdictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary account management layer that sits between the user and multiple jurisdictional accounts. This intermediary consolidates access to multiple separate accounts, translating user actions into jurisdiction-specific operations while maintaining compliance with local regulations and presenting a unified experience to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the system monitors and detects detrimental gaming activity, then player safety and responsible gaming are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining risk thresholds, detection rules, and response protocols before detrimental gaming activity occurs. Machine learning models are pre-trained with historical data to recognize patterns of problematic behavior, enabling the system to detect and respond to risks automatically without requiring complex real-time analysis of every gaming action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors gaming activity, compares it against established risk criteria, and automatically adjusts account settings or triggers interventions when thresholds are exceeded. This closed-loop feedback system enables responsible gaming monitoring through standardized, rule-based processes rather than complex custom analysis for each player.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method for detecting potentially detrimental gaming activity and initiating action to encourage responsible gameplay or to prevent further detrimental gaming activity. The system and method may provide education (via documents or other materials informing a player of potential risks and tools available to reduce such risks), intervention (prompting player interaction with the system, providing opportunities to implement optional tools to reduce risk), and prevention (automatically preventing a player from engaging in potentially detrimental activity).
