Live Streaming Platform Wagering Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current live streaming platforms for gaming machines lack the ability to effectively account for and track wagering activities on streamed games, especially when these activities occur outside the native metering systems of electronic gaming machines, leading to inconsistencies in revenue reporting and user benefits.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a live streaming platform to account for wagering activities by virtually installing gaming software on client devices, allowing for separate metering and accounting of streamed game wagers, and transfers winnings back to the gaming establishment's accounting system, ensuring accurate revenue reporting and user rewards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a live streaming platform is implemented for gaming machines, then user engagement and accessibility are improved, but accurate tracking and accounting of wagering activities becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary accounting system that acts as a mediator between the streaming platform and the gaming establishment's native metering system. This intermediary system receives wagering activity data from the streaming platform, validates it, and reconciles it with the establishment's accounting records, ensuring accurate tracking without compromising user engagement on the streaming platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where wagering activity data is continuously monitored, validated, and reconciled between the streaming platform and the gaming establishment's accounting system. This feedback loop ensures that any discrepancies are identified and corrected, maintaining measurement precision while allowing the streaming platform to operate independently and engage users effectively.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wagering activities are tracked separately from the native metering system, then streaming platform independence is improved, but revenue reporting consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the separately tracked wagering activity data from the streaming platform with the native metering system data through a reconciliation process. The system combines these data streams, validates their consistency, and produces a unified revenue report that maintains both platform independence and reporting consistency by cross-referencing and reconciling the two separate tracking systems.
3Ease of operation
If user benefits are provided based on client device attributes, then user rewards are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing different benefits and rewards based on specific attributes of the client device and user context. Rather than a uniform reward system, the platform tailors rewards to local conditions such as device type, location, and user history, making the system appear complex but actually simplifying user understanding by providing relevant, personalized benefits.
