Definitions

  • This invention relates to a computer-based method and apparatus for providing services, such as gambling and entertainment services, to a user and for charging the user.
  • the inventors therefore realize that it would be desirable to incorporate gambling games and other entertainment into an interactive computer-based system, while providing full security and enabling full control of any funds changing hands. More particularly, it is the applicants' suggestion that a computing device be provided, for each passenger who is to use the system, which can, in effect, be credited with whatever amount of funds the passenger wishes to use.
  • a computer-based interactive apparatus for enabling services to be provided to a user and charged to the user, the system comprising: an administration unit including an administration computer device, which includes a token coupler for connecting to a user token having data processing capability, for writing credit information to the token; and a plurality of user computer devices, each having an interface means for interfacing with a user, and a token coupler for coupling to a user token, for accepting credit information from the user token and for writing a remaining balance to the user token, wherein each user computer device can only be activated and applications stored thereon used, after insertion of a user token including a credit balance.
  • a “token” is a reference to a smart card or similar device providing the same capabilities.
  • a smart card is a card with a microprocessor embedded therein, which provides for some data processing and storage capabilities. It enables a card to store information electronically, which information can be accessed and updated, if correct security codes are used. As is known, proprietary codes or coupler keys must be used to gain access to a smart card. Additionally, in the present invention, it is preferred to use encryption technology, to encrypt data on a smart card with appropriate keys, which must be known if this data is to be decrypted. The passenger will then be free to utilize these funds in any way desired.
  • the computing device will be programmed with a number of different gambling games and /or other forms of entertainment.
  • the gambling games would, it is anticipated, run in accordance with accepted rules for each game.
  • a user could simply be charged on a time basis.
  • games such as Mario Brothers, a user, instead of just being awarded points, could be awarded cash prizes for different point levels, in effect converting it into a gambling-type of game.
  • a further facet of the system is that, unlike other forms of entertainment such as movies, the gambling or entertainment can in effect, be provided on an individual basis.
  • Each passenger will choose whether or not they are interested in receiving a computing device to enable them to play the games etc. Further, for each passenger, it is entirely up to that passenger to what extent they use the device and when they use it. For example, a passenger may use it for part of a flight, spending the rest of the time in other more usual ways, such as eating, resting or reading.

  • Each system comprises an administration unit and an appropriate number of computing devices or stations 18.
  • the system administrator's function would be to load appropriate games and applications onto each device 18, each encrypted with the system administrator key.
  • One system administrator key is used to encrypt the operating system of each device 18 (and as detailed below possibly some applications), while the other is used to encrypt applications.
  • the system administrator keys are, in the present context, keys used to encrypt all applications and programs on a given set of computer devices 18.

This will then enable various maintenance functions to be carried out, such as loading of new programs, or updating and altering existing programs or applications. Further, it could enable the system administrator to disable some applications. It could well be that, for example, in some jurisdictions, it will be permissible for passengers or users to play or use certain games or applications, but not others.

This could enable each device 18 to be partially activated by a system administrator. This could enable some "rolling loop" type of display to be run, explaining to a user what is available, without a user card 72 being present. At the same time, most of the applications, particularly those involving gambling, would be disabled.
  • each device 18 can present, for example, a rolling loop display without a user card being present, then a single system administrator key can be used.

Abstract

Appareil de gestion de jeux payants comportant une unité ''administrative'' et plusieurs ordinateurs de jeux ''clients''. L' unité ''administrative'' comporte également un ordinateur ou une station munie d'un lecteur de jeton, p. ex. du type carte à puce, doté de capacités de traitement permettant d'inscrire des données de crédit sur le jeton. Chacun des ordinateurs de jeux client est également muni d'un lecteur de jetons permettant de recevoir des données de crédit. Chacun des ordinateurs de jeux client ne peut être activé et utilisé que si un utilisateur a inséré une carte contenant une information de crédit appropriée. L'utilisateur est alors à même d'utiliser différentes applications y compris éventuellement des jeux de hasard. A la fin du jeu, tout solde créditeur peut être inscrit sur la carte puis lu par l'unité ''administrative'' afin de créditer l'utilisateur. Les avis peuvent être cryptés et les applications mémorisées dans les ordinateurs clients.
