Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed wagering and bonus prize structures are used, then game operation is simple and reliable, but player engagement and diversity are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic bonus game plays that can be traded, saved, and transferred between players, transforming the static bonus structure into a dynamic ecosystem. Players can buy and sell bonus plays on a marketplace, creating fluidity and adaptability in the gaming system while maintaining core game functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments bonus game plays into tradable units that can be independently bought, sold, and transferred. This segmentation allows the bonus system to operate as a separate marketplace mechanism, increasing player engagement without fundamentally redesigning the entire gaming system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If celebrity branded game plays are introduced, then player engagement and loyalty increase, but device complexity and system requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses celebrity brandings as intermediaries that enhance player engagement. Celebrities or influencers provide personalized video and audio clips that are integrated into bonus game plays, creating exclusive experiences without requiring fundamental system redesign. The celebrity content acts as a layer on top of existing game infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the bonus game play system multi-functional by enabling it to serve both traditional gaming purposes and celebrity branding purposes. The same bonus play infrastructure supports both standard gameplay and celebrity-branded exclusive events, maximizing system versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Productivity
If bonus game plays can be traded and saved, then player engagement and revenue opportunities increase, but reliability and security concerns arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system tracks and verifies bonus play transactions, ensuring that traded and saved bonus plays maintain their integrity and value. The system provides feedback to players about the status of their bonus plays and validates transactions to prevent fraud, thereby maintaining reliability while enabling trading functionality.
