Description

TERMINAL DE PRISE DE JEU A CAMERA NUMERIQUE DIGITAL CAMERA GAME TERMINAL
DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA
L'invention concerne un terminal de prise de jeu, du type comprenant un support destiné à recevoir un document de jeu et une caméra apte à acquérir une image du document de jeu.The invention relates to a game terminal, of the type comprising a support for receiving a game document and a camera adapted to acquire an image of the game document.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART
Les terminaux de prise de jeu ont pour fonction d'enregistrer la participation des utilisateurs aux jeux de hasard, de délivrer des reçus et d'identifier les gagnants de ces jeux. Ces terminaux sont généralement installés dans des points de vente chez des détaillants (notamment des buralistes), et sont reliés à un serveur central distant géré par un exploitant du jeu. Le serveur central permet d'enregistrer et de centraliser les paris.The purpose of gambling terminals is to record users' participation in games of chance, to issue receipts and to identify the winners of these games. These terminals are generally installed in retail outlets (including tobacconists), and are connected to a remote central server managed by a game operator. The central server is used to record and centralize bets.
Par « utilisateur », on désigne une personne qui participe au jeu en formulant un pari dans l'espoir de récolter un gain."User" means a person who participates in the game by making a bet in the hope of winning.
Par « opérateur », on désigne une personne qui enregistre des paris pour le compte d'un exploitant du jeu."Operator" means a person who records bets on behalf of a game operator.
On connait des terminaux de prise de jeu comprenant des moyens d'acquisition d'image, une unité de traitement, un écran tactile et une imprimante.Game terminals are known including image acquisition means, a processing unit, a touch screen and a printer.
Pour enregistrer un pari, un utilisateur remet un bulletin de jeu à l'opérateur. L'opérateur introduit le bulletin dans le terminal. Le terminal acquiert une image du bulletin de jeu. L'unité de traitement détecte les informations inscrites sur le bulletin de jeu et transmet ces informations au serveur central distant pour enregistrement. Le serveur central enregistre le pari et renvoie au terminal un numéro d'enregistrement. Le terminal édite un reçu de jeu qui est remis à l'utilisateur.To register a bet, a user gives a game report to the operator. The operator introduces the bulletin into the terminal. The terminal acquires an image of the game bulletin. The processing unit detects the information written on the game bulletin and transmits this information to the remote central server for registration. The central server records the bet and sends the terminal a registration number. The terminal publishes a game receipt which is delivered to the user.
Pour connaître son gain, l'utilisateur doit à nouveau remettre le reçu de jeu à un opérateur. L'opérateur introduit le reçu dans le terminal. Le terminal acquiert une image du reçu. L'unité de traitement détecte le numéro d'enregistrement inscrit sur le reçu et interroge le serveur central distant. Le serveur central renvoie au terminal le résultat des gains de l'utilisateur.To know his gain, the user must again give the game receipt to an operator. The operator enters the receipt in the terminal. The terminal acquires an image of the receipt. The processing unit detects the registration number written on the receipt and queries the remote central server. The central server returns to the terminal the result of the user's earnings.
L'écran tactile permet à l'opérateur du point de vente de sélectionner un jeu lors de l'enregistrement de la transaction, de visualiser ou de corriger les informations détectées, et de commander la transaction.The touch screen allows the point-of-sale operator to select a game when recording the transaction, view or correct the detected information, and order the transaction.
Dans certains terminaux, les moyens d'acquisition d'image sont formés d'un scanner à défilement.In some terminals, the image acquisition means are formed of a scroll scanner.
L'opérateur fait passer le bulletin de jeu ou le reçu dans le scanner du terminal. Le document défile dans le scanner et est déposé dans un réceptacle.The operator passes the game bulletin or the receipt in the scanner of the terminal. The document scrolls in the scanner and is deposited in a receptacle.
Il a également été proposé des terminaux dans lesquels les moyens d'acquisition d'image comprennent une caméra numérique.It has also been proposed terminals in which the image acquisition means comprise a digital camera.
Dans ces terminaux, le bulletin est simplement déposé par l'opérateur sur une surface d'un support et une image du bulletin est acquise par une caméra numérique. Ces terminaux permettent d'acquérir une image du bulletin de jeu de manière rapide.In these terminals, the bulletin is simply deposited by the operator on a surface of a support and an image of the bulletin is acquired by a digital camera. These terminals make it possible to acquire an image of the game bulletin quickly.
Cependant, ces derniers terminaux ne permettent pas toujours de détecter les informations figurant sur les bulletins de jeu de façon fiable. Ce problème peut découler d'un mauvais positionnement du bulletin par rapport à la caméra.However, these terminals do not always detect the information on the game newsletters reliably. This problem may arise from a bad positioning of the bulletin relative to the camera.
Le document WO 2006/099504 A2 décrit un terminal de prise de jeu comprenant une caméra et une source de lumière projetant un motif sur le bulletin de jeu. L'opérateur s'aide du motif projeté comme repère pour positionner correctement le bulletin de jeu par rapport à la caméra.WO 2006/099504 A2 discloses a game terminal comprising a camera and a light source projecting a pattern on the game bulletin. The operator uses the projected pattern as a marker to correctly position the game report by report to the camera.
Le problème de détection précité peut également être dû à des défauts de planéité du bulletin qui entraînent des distorsions dans l'image acquise.The aforementioned detection problem may also be due to flatness defects of the bulletin which cause distortions in the acquired image.
De plus, les terminaux à caméra numérique sont particulièrement sensibles à la lumière parasite provenant du milieu environnant.In addition, digital camera terminals are particularly sensitive to stray light from the surrounding environment.
Par ailleurs, quelle que soit la technique d'acquisition d'image utilisée, c'est toujours l'opérateur du point de vente qui manipule le bulletin de jeu ou le reçu et qui l'introduit dans le terminal. Il n'est donc pas toujours possible pour l'utilisateur de contrôler l'ensemble des différentes opérations effectuées par l'opérateur.Moreover, whatever the image acquisition technique used, it is always the operator of the point of sale who manipulates the game bulletin or receipt and introduces it into the terminal. It is not always possible for the user to control all the different operations performed by the operator.
Or un opérateur malveillant peut substituer au reçu remis par le joueur un autre reçu. C'est pourquoi, il existe également des terminaux vérificateurs installés dans les points de vente, qui permettent aux utilisateurs de vérifier par eux-mêmes, si leurs reçus de jeu sont gagnants. L'utilisateur place son reçu sous un lecteur de code à barres du terminal vérificateur, le terminal interroge le serveur central et un message apparaît alors sur un écran indiquant si le reçu est gagnant. Si c'est le cas, le joueur présente alors son reçu à l'opérateur pour paiement.However, a malicious operator can substitute the receipt given by the player another receipt. That's why there are also verifier terminals installed in the outlets that allow users to check for themselves whether their game receipts are winning. The user places his receipt under a barcode reader of the verifier terminal, the terminal queries the central server and a message then appears on a screen indicating whether the receipt is a winner. If this is the case, the player then presents his receipt to the operator for payment.
A l'exception des terminaux vérificateurs, limités dans leurs fonctions, les terminaux de jeu actuels sont utilisés uniquement par des opérateurs agissant pour le compte de l'exploitant du jeu. Cela entraine un manque de transparence d'une partie de la transaction vis-à-vis de l'utilisateur, notamment lors de la vérification des reçus avant paiement.With the exception of the limited checking terminals, the current gaming terminals are used only by operators acting on behalf of the game operator. This results in a lack of transparency of part of the transaction. to the user, especially when checking receipts before payment.
