Wagering Game Data Import Export Controller Architecture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The integration of online social communities with wagering game establishments is hindered by security concerns, limiting access and utility, and existing solutions are inflexible and expose sensitive resources.
Innovation Solution
A secure architecture employing an import/export controller and a data liaison facilitates secure data transmission between wagering game establishments and online social communities, applying rules to regulate data imports and exports, ensuring secure access while maintaining obscurity and protecting sensitive resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If direct access to online social communities is provided from wagering game establishments, then player experience and participation are enhanced, but security risks and exposure of sensitive resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an import/export controller as an intermediary component that mediates all data transmissions between the wagering game establishment and online social communities. This controller enforces security rules, filters data packets, and prevents direct access to sensitive resources while still enabling controlled communication and data exchange between the two systems.
2Reliability
If security rules are strictly enforced to protect sensitive resources, then security is improved, but flexibility and utility of data access are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The import/export controller implements dynamic rule enforcement where security policies can be adjusted and configured based on different scenarios, data types, and communication needs. The system adapts its security measures rather than applying rigid restrictions, allowing flexible data access within secure boundaries by dynamically evaluating and enforcing appropriate security rules for each data transmission.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing integration solutions are implemented, then connectivity between wagering games and social communities is achieved, but sensitive resources are exposed and security concerns remain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the security control functionality into a separate, dedicated import/export controller component that is distinct from the core wagering game systems and social community interfaces. This extracted security layer handles all data transmissions independently, preventing direct exposure of sensitive resources while maintaining integration capabilities through controlled data exchange.
Data Source
AI summary
A secure architecture can provide a wagering game establishment access to the utility and entertainment value of online social communities. An architecture that employs an internal entity that controls import and export of data (“import/export controller”) and an external entity that operates as a liaison (“data liaison”) between the import/export controller and one or more online social communities allows this access in a secure manner. The import/export controller and the data liaison handle data transmissions (e.g., data streams, data updates, etc.) between the secure entity and the one or more online social communities. The import/export controller applies rules that regulate import and export of data, and the data liaison allows the import/export controller to operate in obscurity. Funneling data transmissions through the import/export controller and the data liaison allows players to securely access an online social community from a wagering game machine while in a wagering game establishment.
