Definitions

  • Recepteur de messages pourvu de multiples orqanes de signalisation
  • Le domaine de I'invention esthold des radiocommunications et plus precisement justify des recepteurs de messages radio emis par des telephones portables.
  • the present invention relates to an arrangement of a self-service wagering terminal system including a computer module and a feeding module, the latter including an overload protection block interconnected with a power supply and a backup power supply, and also a data transmission block interconnected through a communication network with head office of a betting company.
  • the wageror usually puts down his/her draft tips there on a piece of paper available for this purpose in the betting shop, then he/she hands it to the operator at the counter who - according to the wageror's writing and verbal instructions - prepares the relevant ticket in a database available at his/her computer site, prints it and hands it over to the wageror who pays for it either in cash or through a cashless payment performed with his/her electronic purse or credit card.
  • This way of placing bets requires sufficient space - the wageror should have reasonably comfortable access to tables with offers; in addition, separated detached space (a counter) with the operator working site shall be available.
  • the disadvantage consists in the fact that the operator shall, in turn, according to the wagerors ' interest, attend not only the bet placing but also ensure other activities as e.g. supplementing new betting opportunities, up-to-dating current changes in ratings, times, dates of the sport events, printing necessary reports, etc. To cope with all the activities mentioned as above is almost impossible for one operator, especially when the wagerors ' interest to place bets is higher. In addition, the operator shall provide a wide range of other activities so his/her working load during the working hours is enormous. To operate such betting shop demands considerably high financial costs - both the overhead and wage ones.
  • the second way during which the wageror is physically present represents the use of terminals being usually located in various facilities in which their personnel provide necessary service in addition to his/her main job contents.
  • High costs for operator's wages in such betting places are partially reduced because his/her main job includes other activities; on the other hand, the fact mentioned above represents the main disadvantage of such facilities because the wageror must wait in queue in order to place a bet, e.g. in a tobacconist's shop or a news-stand, because other clients than wagerors are attended first in such facilities. This can sometimes even put off potential wagerors when queuing-up seems to be too long to them.
  • Another disadvantage of the system as mentioned above is the fact that the special preprinted forms shall be in advance filled in the proper way so that the terminal can distinguish the data and print out the demanded ticket.
  • necessary special forms need to be printed centrally and distributed to the individual betting shops; this fact also increases the overhead costs connected with betting.
  • the terminal serves in the case mentioned as a simple technical means for the operator employed in the betting shop, not directly for the wageror and so its usage and possibilities are therefore considerably limited.
  • Another way how to place bets is betting through wagering systems making full use of data networks, particularly the cellular and satellite networks, for transmission of data packets on bets.
  • the wagering system featuring with the improved communication between a master computer and a remote terminal is described in the Patent Application No. WO 99/30787.
  • the wagering system with a "rapid access" and a computer selection uses a key in the form of random numbers that serves as the seeds in an algorithm generating pseudo-random numbers.
  • the algorithm and the seed is used for creation of combinations of random numbers for each play in a bet in an agent's terminal when the combination of numbers is sequentially assigned and printed together with the sequential serial number to the ticket. Due to the fact that both the algorithm and the seed are stored both in the master computer and the agent's remote terminal, the remote terminal can transmit all relevant information using only the single transmission of the actual number of plays sold; this reduces the amount of exchanged data by several orders.
  • the reduced data exchange represents the innovation in the data transmission method as e.g. the satellite transmission of packets and cellular sen/ices.
  • the method intended for transmission of data on games into a global computer network is described in the European Patent Application EP 1 199 690 A2.
  • the method of the remote play includes a player's access through the remote terminal and a gaming place in a global computer network connected to the remote terminal.
  • the player can send his/her personal identification data into the gaming place through the remote terminal and select a game of chance located in a gaming machine intended for the remote game through the remote terminal.
  • the remote terminal is located outside the gaming machine.
  • the player places the bet for the selected game through the remote terminal and receives the randomly generated text or the graphical resulting data on the remote terminal for the game selected.
  • the resulting data are generated either through the game server or the gaming machine in the gaming device and are then transmitted to the gaming place.
  • the multimedia wagering system comprising a plurality of wagering devices and the wagering system for providing it that is interconnected with the wagering devices, and the large quantity of multimedia wagering terminals, and also the communication network for easy communication between the wagering system, and the multimedia wagering terminals is described in PCT application WO 00/67215.
  • the communication network is advantageously established as the closed one, but it can be also open, as e.g. Internet, if such open network is capable to provide sufficient bandwidths for communication with the multimedia wagering terminals.
  • Each wagering device has assigned one or more race tracks and is interconnected with the wagering system that ensures information on odds.
  • the multimedia wagering terminals are also interconnected with the wagering system that ensured information on odds of each of race candidates.
  • the wagering system includes a user interface, wagering devices containing a transmitter/receiver for communication with the devices mentioned, multimedia wagering terminals containing the transmitter/receiver for communication with the terminals mentioned. It also includes a microprocessor interconnected with the user interface and with the transmitter/receiver of wagering terminals and with the transmitter/receiver of the wagering devices. It also includes a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory, e.g. RAM, that are connected with the microprocessor.
  • the user interface includes a data display intended for displaying odds information. A video display terminal can be advantageously used for displaying of information supplied from the wagering devices.
  • the user interface also includes a data input device, e.g.
  • the non-volatile memory includes the database containing multimedia records from previous races (odds). Each multimedia record includes the race video-record, the audio-record connected with the video-record, the record containing the name and place of the race track, the record containing the name of a racer, the record of the odds - probability to win for each racer, etc.
  • the multimedia records are advantageously stored as the structured data on a high-speed CD-ROM for the purpose of the rapid access through the microprocessor.
  • the non-volatile memory includes also instructions for the microprocessor.
  • the instructions mentioned are stored in the volatile memory that is scoped by a selector connected with the database and the microprocessor.
  • the volatile memory includes also a local database connected with the microprocessor.
  • the local database contains records on odds identifiable in addresses of the network of the betting terminal.
  • Each multimedia wagering terminal includes the multimedia display for displaying of races selected by the wagering system, the user interface intended for selecting races, the currency receiver, the currency dispensing device, electronic card read/write device, and a housing for locating the multimedia display.
  • This invention relates to the arrangement of the self-service wagering terminal ensuring its simple operation.
  • the wageror alone creates, pays, prints and takes his/her demanded ticket or performs other demanded operations based on the offer in the terminal menu.
  • the self-service wagering terminal system comprising a microprocessor and a feeding module, the latter including an overload protection block interconnected with a power supply and a backup power supply, and also a data transmission block interconnected through a communication network with a head office of a wagering company wherein least one user interface containing a data display and a data input device is further interconnected with the microprocessor of the wagering terminal while the user interface forms the separate part of the wagering terminal which ensures its accessibility for a customer.
  • the self-service wagering terminal system according to the technical solution mentioned above represents the significant step toward the customer because the technical device mentioned, metaphorically speaking, "jumps over an operator counter" and is fully available to the wageror.
  • the system according to this invention arranged as mentioned above can provide the customer services or offers from more than one wagering shops. Such large offers cannot be up-dated in real time when presented on the offer tables only.
  • the customer can advantageously compare individual offers made by the competing betting shops and select from them in one betting shop.
  • the system arranged as above guarantees almost full discretion - even "an authorized person" does not know how the ticket or the wager looks like, how high is the sum being stacked or the winnings withdrawn.
  • the wagering company can guaranty identification of the particular wageror if he uses his/her personal wagering card only for placing wagers.
  • the system also ensures that all data, i.e. date, time, names of competitors, order (home team - foreign team) and current rating given in the presented offer comply always with those ones given in the particular ticket.
  • the system also ensures almost instant responses of a bookmaker (and/or the evaluating software) in the head office who/which can be "on line” informed on the wagering trends in the whole company. Such full information could apparently result in better flexibility and higher incomes of the wagering company.
  • the user interface should advantageously include also the electronic card read/write device, the currency receiver and/or dispensing device, and also the voucher issuing device that would be connected to the microprocessor of the wagering terminal. It is essential that, in addition, an optional peripheral device module and an operator module including the electronic card read/write device, the operator data display and the operator control device, the data printout device and the voucher issuing device should be advantageously connected to the microprocessor.

  • the advantage of this self-service wagering terminal system consists also in the fact that it can be supplemented with various peripheral devices, e.g. camera, microphone, jackpot, large-scale projector, etc., which could enhance its customers' comfort and thus its use value.
  • Another advantage of the system proposed consists in its minimum demands to its operation by manpower, minimum demand to space and minimum wage costs (e.g. an operator need not be an employee of a wagering company if he/she provides supervision as an "authorized supervisory person" in addition to his/her main job, e.g. in a restaurant).
