Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming systems face challenges in enabling interjurisdictional operations between remote game servers due to security concerns and regulatory differences, limiting users' access to wager on games from popular streamers in different jurisdictions and penalizing users in jurisdictions without popular streamers.

Innovation Solution

A system that coordinates operations between remote game servers in different jurisdictions, securely replicating and distributing game outcomes and wagers across multiple regulatory environments, allowing users to interact and wager across jurisdictional boundaries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If remote game servers operate independently in different jurisdictions, then regulatory compliance and security are maintained, but user access to games across jurisdictions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser access across jurisdictionsVSAvoidsystem coordination complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a benefit allocation system that acts as an intermediary between independent remote game servers in different jurisdictions. This mediator coordinates wagering data and benefit distribution across jurisdictional boundaries without requiring the game servers themselves to directly interact, thus enabling cross-jurisdictional access while maintaining operational independence and regulatory compliance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The benefit allocation system performs multiple functions: it aggregates wagering data from multiple jurisdictions, determines benefit realization events, allocates benefits across different remote game servers, and maintains security compliance. This multi-functional approach enables the system to handle cross-jurisdictional operations through a single coordinated mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If remote game servers operate independently in different jurisdictions, then security and regulatory compliance are maintained, but streaming device benefits cannot be shared across servers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebenefit sharing across serversVSAvoidsecurity and regulatory compliance

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The benefit allocation system serves as a secure intermediary that coordinates benefit distribution across independent remote game servers. It receives wagering data, determines benefit realization events, and allocates benefits while maintaining the independence and security compliance of each jurisdictional server, thus enabling benefit sharing without compromising reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates and distributes benefit allocation data copies to relevant remote game servers without requiring the servers to share their core operational systems. This allows benefit information to be replicated and acted upon across jurisdictions while each server maintains its own security and regulatory framework.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If users are restricted to their local jurisdiction's streamers, then regulatory compliance is simplified, but user options and engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveregulatory compliance simplicityVSAvoiduser options and engagement

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The benefit allocation system acts as a mediator that enables users to access and wager on games from streamers in different jurisdictions while maintaining regulatory compliance. It handles the complex coordination of cross-jurisdictional wagering data and benefit distribution, allowing users to access more options without requiring them to navigate regulatory complexities themselves.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If the system coordinates operations across multiple remote game servers, then user options and engagement improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecross-jurisdictional operationsVSAvoidcoordination system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the coordination function into a dedicated benefit allocation system that operates separately from the individual remote game servers. This segmentation allows each server to remain simple and jurisdictionally independent, while the benefit allocation system handles the complex coordination tasks of aggregating wagering data, determining benefit events, and distributing benefits across multiple servers.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A live streaming platform server that receives, from client devices associated with remote game servers, data associated with amounts of wagers placed on a play of a wagering game displayed by a streaming device associated with another remote game server. Responsive to an occurrence of a benefit realization event, the live streaming platform server determines benefits attributable to the client devices and communicates to the remote game servers data that results in the determined benefits being made available to a user of the streaming device.
