Single Action Betting System for Mobile Gaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile and computer-based real-money betting systems require multiple clicks or actions to select a bet amount, place a bet, and begin a game, leading to user disinterest due to complexity and difficulty in accurately interacting with the user interface, especially on mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A single action betting system and method that combines the steps of selecting a bet amount, placing a bet, and beginning a game into a single action, such as a single touch, click, or voice command, using a computing device connected to a backend system that verifies player credentials, location, and funds, allowing for quick and easy betting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple clicks are required to select bet amount, place bet, and begin game, then the system ensures proper verification and control, but user engagement and betting speed decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate actions (selecting bet amount, placing bet, and beginning game) into a single integrated action. The system presents a consolidated user interface where a single click or touch on a bet placement area simultaneously selects the bet amount, places the bet, and initiates the game, eliminating the need for multiple sequential clicks across different interface elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the bet amount and game selection before the user places their bet. The interface displays pre-selected bet amounts and game options, allowing the user to simply confirm their choice with a single action rather than manually configuring each parameter separately.
2Reliability
If multiple clicks are required to interact with the betting interface, then the system maintains control and verification, but mobile device usability and user interest deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple verification and control steps into a single integrated user action. The consolidated interface allows users to place bets with one click or touch, reducing the complexity of mobile interaction while maintaining system control through backend verification of the single action.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms by automatically verifying user credentials, checking available funds, and confirming bet placement without requiring multiple user confirmations. The single action triggers a automated verification sequence that handles authentication, balance checking, and bet confirmation in the background.
