Solution Overview

Problem

Existing gaming systems fail to provide diverse outcomes and personalized interactions for different users viewing the same streamed game, leading to uniform and passive experiences across client devices.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a live streaming platform that enables different client devices to employ unique paytables and allow users to make individual inputs based on partial game data, determining customized outcomes and awards for each user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a live streaming platform streams the same game to multiple client devices, then the platform can serve multiple users simultaneously, but all users receive the same uniform outcome regardless of their individual inputs or preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser personalizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the game outcome determination process by introducing separate paytables for different client devices. Each client device has its own paytable that can be independently configured and applied, allowing different outcomes for the same game play across different devices. This segmentation enables personalization without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allowing each client device to have customized paytables specific to that device. The server transmits different paytable data to different client devices based on their individual configurations, creating locally tailored gaming experiences while maintaining a centralized streaming architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If the system processes individual inputs and determines customized outcomes for each user, then user engagement and personalization are enhanced, but the processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutcome determination speedVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring and storing multiple paytables on the server before the gaming session begins. These paytables are prepared in advance with different outcome configurations, allowing the server to quickly select and apply the appropriate paytable without performing complex calculations in real-time during game play.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes by switching between different paytables based on client device identification. Instead of calculating customized outcomes from scratch for each user, the system changes the applicable parameter set (paytable) based on pre-stored device profiles, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If different paytables are applied to different client devices, then diverse and personalized outcomes are achieved, but the system requires sophisticated data transmission and processing mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutcome variabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by creating and transmitting copies of relevant paytable data to each client device. Instead of processing every possible customization from scratch, the server transmits pre-computed paytable copies to clients, which then apply them to determine outcomes. This reduces the processing complexity at the server while maintaining outcome variability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
