Description

使用玩家激活电子验证机的预印彩票
相关申请
本申请要求于2005年4月27日申请的、名称为“PreprintedLottery Tickets using a Player Activated ElectronicValidation Machine(使用玩家激活电子验证机的预印彩票)”的美国临时申请No.60/675,186的权益,上述申请的说明书在此全文引入以作参考。
发明背景
1.技术领域
本发明通常涉及抽奖游戏设备,并且更特别地,本发明涉及与彩票交互作用的电子游戏设备。
2.背景技术
几十年来,刮开或即赢彩票是彩票行业的主要形式。这些彩票多年来为全世界的数十亿玩家所喜爱。即赢彩票游戏设计的创新支撑了产品并且允许成长。然而,最近即赢彩票市场销量增长变得相对缓和。对抗该不理想趋势的一种方法是生产支付较高的即赢彩票。多数抽奖权限通过特许调节支付百分比,因此不能利用支付较高的彩票作为增加销量的手段。
另一种方法是将彩票的销售扩张到象超市付款通道这样的新场所。然而,与在超市付款通道中放置即开彩票相关联的后勤保障问题迄今为止使该扩张销售不能实行。
第三种方法是扩大彩票以扩张有限大小的游戏(又称刮开)区域,从而产生延长的游戏体验。这些更大的彩票允许更大的或多个游戏区域(例如宾果游戏)。但是,彩票的物理尺寸仅仅可能增加有限的大小。典型地,最大彩票尺寸为4×10英寸,并且在该尺寸下是麻烦的。玩家常常感觉游戏时间并不反映较大彩票的较高成本。
因此,希望开发一种销售即赢彩票的新方法,其中玩家感觉到与支付百分比的增加无关的增值价值。这是本发明主要涉及的方法。
发明内容
本发明涉及一种用于使用玩家激活的电子游戏装置来通过娱乐数字游戏的使用而确定预印彩票的奖金价值的方法。因而,游戏装置增强了玩家的体验,并且赋予了彩票可感觉的额外价值。
在一个实施例中,公开了一种用于与电子游戏装置对接的抽奖游戏彩票,所述电子游戏装置允许其用户选择性地玩具有结局的游戏。所述抽奖游戏彩票包括底层(substrate)、嵌入所述底层上的机器可读编码游戏信息和嵌入所述底层上的机器可读编码奖金信息。所述编码游戏信息和编码奖金信息可由所述电子游戏装置读取,以致所述编码游戏信息确定所述电子游戏装置的游戏。
在另一实施例中,公开了一种用于使得用户能玩抽奖游戏的抽奖游戏设备。所述抽奖游戏设备能够从抽奖游戏彩票提取游戏数据并且包括用于从所述抽奖游戏彩票接收游戏信息和奖金信息的游戏彩票接口单元、用于存储多个抽奖游戏的存储单元、用于根据从所述游戏彩票接口单元中的抽奖游戏彩票接收到的游戏信息而从所述存储单元选择游戏的控制单元和用于将所述游戏显示给用户并从用户接收输入的用户接口单元。
在又一实施例中,公开了一种使用抽奖游戏彩票和抽奖游戏设备玩抽奖游戏的方法。所述方法包括以下步骤:在所述抽奖游戏设备处对接所述抽奖游戏彩票,从在所述抽奖游戏设备处的所述抽奖游戏彩票接收游戏信息,在所述抽奖游戏设备处基于所述游戏信息选择游戏,将所述游戏显示给所述抽奖游戏设备的用户,在所述抽奖游戏设备处从用户接收指令,在所述抽奖游戏设备处确定用户是否是赢家,以及如果用户是赢家则奖赏用户奖金。
在查看附图说明、具体实施方式和权利要求之后,本发明的其他目标、特征和优点将变得显而易见。
附图说明
图1是根据本发明的示例性实施例的游戏机和彩票。
图2示出了游戏机的一个实施例。
图3示出了游戏机的框图。
图4示出了抽奖游戏彩票的一个实施例。
图5是游戏机方法的流程图。
具体实施方式
图1示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的手持式游戏机102(游戏装置)和抽奖游戏彩票104。游戏装置102接受传统外观的彩票104并且通过动态地增强玩家的体验来提供更高的可感觉价值。该游戏装置可以由玩家通过如100中所示的插入彩票来激活。利用该玩家激活游戏装置,玩家可以购买彩票,将彩票插入到游戏装置中,并且玩计算机类型的游戏,在该游戏中,结局(即,奖金价值)和游戏类型由彩票确定。
图2示出了该游戏装置的一个实施例200。该玩家激活游戏装置是相对小的、便宜的电子装置,该电子装置与(特别)印刷的彩票结合被用来产生游戏装置。该游戏装置包括扬声器202、显示器204、多个控制按钮206、用于插入抽奖游戏彩票的插槽208、和可选的用于与游戏服务器对接的接口端口210。图3示出了游戏装置的框图300。该游戏装置包括彩票接口单元302、服务器接口单元304、用户接口单元306、显示单元308、存储单元310和控制器312。该游戏装置与特定抽奖游戏彩票一起使用。该游戏装置可以由玩家购买或者可替换地由抽奖游戏管理机构免费赠送。该游戏装置在其存储单元310中存储不同的游戏,并且将根据插入到插槽208中的抽奖游戏彩票来选择游戏玩。游戏信息从彩票中被检索并且通过彩票接口单元302被递送到控制器312。游戏信息被用于从存储单元310选择游戏。所选择的游戏然后通过显示单元308被显示在显示器204上。玩家可以通过按钮206控制游戏,并且指令从用户接口单元306被接收。指令可以影响正在玩的游戏。除了视觉显示之外,游戏也可以具有在扬声器202上播放的音频输出,因而给予玩家更好的游戏体验。
在游戏结束之后,该游戏装置将确定玩家是否是赢家。如果玩家是赢家,则该游戏装置将奖赏玩家奖金。奖金由嵌入抽奖游戏彩票中的奖金信息预先确定。所奖赏的奖金被记录和被存储在该游戏装置中并且玩家可以将该游戏装置带到彩票代理商处,或者游戏服务器所位于的地方,并且获得支付。彩票代理商将通过接口端口210将该游戏装置连接到游戏服务器,并且奖赏信息通过服务器接口单元304从存储单元310被传到游戏服务器。在将奖赏信息传到游戏服务器之后,该游戏装置将从其存储器(存储单元)清除奖赏信息。可替换地,玩家可以将奖赏的兑换延迟到稍后的时间。玩家可以选择购买另一抽奖游戏彩票和玩另一游戏。如果玩家再次获胜,则新奖赏将被增加到存储在存储单元310中的奖赏,并且玩家可以同时兑换所有奖赏。
游戏装置被用来玩在特定彩票上所编码的游戏。不使用该游戏装置就不能玩这些彩票。该组合有点像其他已知产品(诸如吉列牌剃须刀)的销售。该游戏装置几乎可以被赠送。正是刀片(即,特定彩票)花费金钱并制造了抽奖的利润。图4示出了与该游戏装置一起使用的特定彩票400。彩票400由底层制成并且可被嵌有多个导电油墨跳线(ink jumper)402、带有某些隐藏信息的刮开区域404、条形码406、多个按钮408和特别伪造的图案410。根据本发明的一个实施例,奖金信息可以使用二进制数学被编码在特定彩票的导电油墨跳线402中。因而,两个跳线402将允许编码四个奖金等级;四个跳线将允许编码16个奖金等级,等等。该游戏装置读取油墨图案数据,然后获悉奖金价值是多少和要玩的游戏的类型。验证条形码406可以是带有相关联的验证数字的传统彩票交叉二五码(I2 of 5)数字。条形码406可以与特定油墨图案一致,因此这两者在奖金数额上达成一致。通过例如增加控制游戏装置的动作的彩票上的按钮408或控制游戏装置的游戏动作或游戏结局的电路,特定彩票400将增加游戏装置的游戏价值。
可替换地,游戏信息可被表示为加密条形码(例如128代码)。该游戏信息可以包括这样的内容,如包括要玩的游戏、彩票的奖金等级、3个方块数位(Box Digit)的值(又称为验证数字)等等。该条形码将在玩被编码在彩票中的游戏之前由该游戏装置读取。
彩票也可以利用由被嵌入到彩票中的电路(未示出)保护的刮开区域404。当彩票被插入到游戏装置中时,该装置将读取跳线,以确定游戏类型和奖金价值,然后提示玩家刮开由所述电路保护的特定区域,以揭示验证数字。当玩家已刮开乳胶(由所述电路来感测)时,游戏将进行。所述电路感测到,刮开涂层开始是完整的,然后被破坏。该感测过程既为彩票作了记号(即,保证它不能被再次使用),又防止无良零售商为了高等级赢家预先筛选彩票。
在所有实施例中,玩家使用特定彩票来激活游戏装置,玩计算机风格的游戏,并(可能)赢得由彩票确定的奖金。独特的彩票被用于启动游戏装置,从而允许标准游戏装置硬件和软件制造,即,所有游戏装置是相同的,差别在于由彩票确定的游戏和玩法。游戏装置硬件和软件的这种标准化大大减小了操作种子化(seeded)(即,不同奖金结果)的电子卡的后勤复杂性,降低了游戏装置或电子卡的成本,并且改变了电子卡的销售经济(即,一个游戏装置可以玩由多个不同彩票启动的几种游戏),从而允许游戏装置按成本价销售或甚至被赠送。因而,玩家激活的游戏装置和相关联的定制彩票通过提供动态游戏动作和甚至是声音来相应地增强玩家体验和所感受的价值而建立在彩票产品上。
除了允许在否则是标准即赢彩票的彩票上编码信息的特定导电油墨跳线之外,也可以使用其他电配置,诸如使用直接电接触、射频(RF)识别和游戏装置与唯一的电子彩票(ELT)之间的电容或磁耦合。可被传输的多种类型的信息的例子包括但不限于这样的内容,如包括游戏类型标识符、奖金等级和激活代码。替换实施例包括在印刷彩票上使用各种一维(1D)和二维(2D)加密条形码,这些条形码由游戏装置读取和解密。
在所有情况下,游戏装置可以包含各种游戏类型和奖金等级,当游戏装置读取彩票数据时,这些游戏类型和奖金等级的特定类型和结果于是被激活。当彩票被插入到游戏装置中时,彩票数据从彩票被传输到游戏装置,然后游戏装置将适当的游戏提供给玩家。因为彩票的游戏被包含在为电子存储器的存储单元内,所以游戏时间和由此感受的游戏价值可以增加并且远远超过标准刮开彩票的能力。彩票大小为2×4英寸,作为例子,可以产生持续几分钟的游戏。
使用图形显示和相关联的游戏装置广播讲话(sound bites)使新彩票游戏具有多媒体体验。可以既在视觉上又在听觉上宣布游戏获胜。预期能力包括能在玩游戏期间(通过刮涂彩票上的区域)物理地修改彩票特性以将另一维加入到游戏。
使用可编程存储器或外部存储器‘pods’将允许玩家个性化他的游戏装置,使得该游戏装置例如仅仅包含优选的游戏类型或奖金等级。游戏装置的内容因而可以在销售点被修改。通过将游戏装置连接到销售点处的游戏服务器,例如,游戏装置可利用玩家最喜爱的数字或购买记录、或姓名和密码进行升级,以给玩家提供忠诚信息或基于购买记录提供赠品或优惠卷。另外,游戏装置的多媒体能力提供唯一机会来为玩家或区域特有参数显示本地广告或通告,例如,“Jim的商店在Bill’s Variety”。因而,彩票管理机构可利用游戏装置的广告销售产生额外收入。
因为游戏装置本身并不是赌博装置(彩票是赌博部件),该装置的销售可以避免与标准彩票相关联的限制。例如,仅仅包含传统技能游戏(例如俄罗斯方块)的游戏装置可以在任何地方销售,并且所有者然后可以在传统彩票商店购买彩票,从而玩赌博风格的游戏。例如,游戏装置的该特性可以允许通过互联网下载游戏。
在利用电路的实施例中,如先前所述的彩票印有各种导电电子电路。通过使用导电喷墨油墨,这些电路在每个彩票上是唯一的。然而,因为标准印刷方法(例如凹板印刷、柔性印刷(flexo)等)印刷重复序列的彩票,所以激光调整技术可被用于产生随机的独特彩票。
标准印刷方法问题的唯一解决方案如下。几个不同奖金等级被印刷在单张对称彩票上,例如,四个奖金等级被印刷在正方形的四条边上,或八个奖金等级被印刷在八边形的八条边上,或数据的多个“辐条”被印刷在圆形彩票上。彩票上的单个刮涂区域揭示喷墨成像器信息,该信息告诉玩家,彩票的哪一边(即,哪个方向)与游戏装置对接。彩票背面上的加密条形码与该喷墨图像一致。该技术排除了在每个彩票上印刷唯一导电电路的必要性。
位于彩票上的附加电路(一些是可刮涂的,而一些不是)可被用于各种功能,这些功能包括开始游戏、结束游戏、改变玩游戏的顺序、并且甚至充当按钮以提供附加的控制能力。
此外,彩票可被用来提供游戏装置的激活代码。例如,彩票可以包含加密条形码。所述条形码可以在销售点被读取和解密并且被用于生成包含多位激活密钥的销售发票,所述多位激活密钥与彩票一致。随后当彩票被插入到游戏装置中时,包含在彩票上的信息作为密钥由游戏装置读取和使用,以确定通过游戏装置键区输入的激活密钥数据是否正确。因而可以阻止游戏装置的偷窃,因为被盗单元在没有销售收据的情况下将不能工作。
图5示出了游戏装置的游戏过程500的一个实施例。玩家可以在彩票销售点购买特定彩票。当购买彩票时,玩家可以选择他想要在该游戏机上玩的游戏并且他也可以为彩票设置个人识别代码(PIN)。玩家可以在相同的彩票销售点购买游戏机,或者可替换地可以作为某种推销的部分免费获得游戏机。在购买彩票之后,在步骤502,玩家将彩票插入游戏机,并且在步骤504,游戏机然后将被激活。在步骤506,游戏机将从彩票读取游戏和奖金信息,而且在步骤508,使用游戏信息选择游戏供玩家玩。游戏机中的游戏被预装载到游戏机上,并且玩家可以将游戏机连接到彩票管理机构游戏服务器,以下载新游戏。可替换地,玩家也可以将游戏机带到彩票销售点下载新游戏。
在从存储在其存储器中的多个游戏中选择一游戏之后,在步骤510,游戏机激活该游戏,并且在步骤512,接收来自玩家的指令。游戏将被显示在显示屏上并且也可以通过游戏机上的扬声器发出声音。玩家使用游戏机上的按钮玩游戏。可替换地,玩家也可以使用彩票上的按钮玩游戏,如果彩票这样配备的话。玩游戏时间也可以受到从彩票接收到的游戏信息影响。例如,如果玩家玩的是$5而不是$1,则玩家具有玩10分钟而不是3分钟的资格。
当游戏结束时,在步骤516,游戏机检查玩家是否是赢家。如果玩家不是赢家,则在步骤520,游戏机将显示静止的“游戏结束”图像或来自不同赞助商的广告。游戏机可以从游戏服务器接收广告。如果玩家是赢家,则在步骤518,游戏机将把奖金奖赏给玩家。奖金由抽奖游戏彩票预先确定。奖赏将被存储在游戏机中并且玩家可以通过将游戏机带到授权的彩票销售点兑换现金奖赏。通过将游戏机连接到抽奖游戏服务器,奖赏信息可被下载到游戏服务器并且该奖赏信息被显示给彩票管理机构。在将奖赏下载到游戏服务器之后,游戏机将清空其奖赏存储器。彩票管理机构然后可以付现款给玩家。可替换地,玩家可以通过将新彩票插入到游戏机中来选择继续玩其他抽奖游戏。来自这些附加抽奖游戏的奖赏将累积在游戏机中,并且玩家可以同时兑换所有累积奖赏。
可替换地,奖赏可以不依赖于游戏。例如,彩票可以是即赢彩票,并且通过刮开彩票的一区域,玩家可以立即知道他是否是赢家。即使玩家不是赢家,通过将彩票插入到游戏机中,玩家也有资格在游戏机上玩游戏。
在图5的上下文中,例如通过操作计算机以执行连续的机器可读指令来实现所述方法。所述指令可以驻留在各种类型的信号承载或数据存储第一、第二或第三媒体中。所述媒体例如可以包括RAM(未示出),该RAM可由无线网络的部件访问或驻留在无线网络的部件之内。无论是被包含在RAM、磁盘中,还是被包含在其他第二存储媒体中,所述指令可被存储在各种机器可读数据存储媒体上,诸如被存储在DASD存储器(例如传统的“硬盘驱动器”或RAID阵列)、磁带、电子只读存储器(例如,ROM、EPROM或EEPROM)、闪存卡、光学存储装置(例如CD-ROM、WORM、DVD、数字光带)、“打孔”纸卡或者包括数字和模拟传输媒体的其他合适的数据存储媒体上。
尽管参考其一个实施例已特别示出和描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将会理解,在不脱离如以下权利要求中所阐述的本发明的精神和范围的情况下可以进行形式和细节上的各种改变。尽管按照顺序步骤图解说明了图5中的方法,但是本领域的技术人员将会理解,不同顺序也可被用于实现本发明。此外,尽管以单数描述或在权利要求中要求保护本发明的元件,除非清楚地规定限制为单数,可以设想为复数。
