Solution Overview

Problem

Current live streaming platforms for gaming machines lack the ability to dynamically adjust features and user interactions based on user status, limiting personalized experiences and revenue generation opportunities.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates a live streaming platform server with a processor and memory, enabling the activation of restricted features on client devices based on user status, allowing for personalized content and feature access, and allowing users to wager on and interact with gaming sessions in real-time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a live streaming platform provides uniform features to all users, then system simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and revenue generation are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized feature accessVSAvoidfeature management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by providing different feature sets to different user groups based on their status. High-value users receive restricted features such as enhanced wagering options, personalized game selections, and exclusive bonuses, while standard users access basic streaming functionality. This differentiation is achieved through status-based access control mechanisms that automatically assign appropriate feature sets without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs dynamics by making feature availability dynamic rather than static. Users can transition between different feature access levels as their status changes, allowing the system to adapt to evolving user value and engagement levels. The feature set assigned to each user is not fixed but can be adjusted in real-time based on current status indicators, enabling flexible response to changing user behaviors and preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If restricted features are activated based on user status, then user engagement and revenue are enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue generationVSAvoidstatus-based feature activation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple user status levels and their associated feature sets before users interact with the platform. Each status level (e.g., beginner, intermediate, expert, high-value) has predetermined feature permissions, wagering limits, and access rights configured in advance. When a user achieves a certain status threshold, the system automatically activates the corresponding pre-configured feature set without requiring real-time complex decision-making or manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor user behavior, engagement metrics, and transaction history to dynamically adjust user status and corresponding feature access. The system provides feedback loops where user actions influence status changes, which in turn modify available features and wagering opportunities. This creates a self-regulating system that automatically optimizes revenue generation while adapting to individual user patterns through continuous data collection and analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
