Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In game systems where a physical lottery device is shared among multiple players, players often have to wait for others to finish their lotteries, leading to standby time, and collective execution of lotteries at set times cannot provide unique experiences for individual players.
Innovation Solution
A game apparatus that includes a moving image acquirer, display device, input receiver, attribute setter, and result generator, allowing players to interact with a virtual representation of a physical lottery, set attributes, and receive personalized game results, while utilizing a network to manage and display movement images from multiple lottery devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a physical lottery device is shared by multiple players, then device complexity is reduced, but standby time increases for players waiting for their turn
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of the physical lottery device through moving image display. Each player receives a personalized moving image showing a virtual lottery device that mirrors the physical device's appearance and operation, allowing concurrent virtual lotteries without requiring multiple physical devices
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a moving image as an intermediary between the physical lottery device and the player. The moving image acts as a virtual representation that mediates the lottery experience, allowing players to interact with their own virtual device while the physical device remains shared
2Productivity
If lotteries are executed collectively at predetermined times, then productivity increases, but individual player experience and uniqueness are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the moving image display for each individual player. Each player receives a moving image with their own unique attributes, settings, and visual characteristics, making the collective lottery execution feel personalized and unique to each player
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the lottery experience into individual player-specific virtual instances. Each player has their own virtual lottery device representation in the moving image, allowing simultaneous execution of multiple lotteries with distinct personalized experiences for each player
