This may be accomplished, for instance by looking up the surveillance level in a table that includes surveillance level data mapped to the locations within the service area of the system 100. Alternatively or additionally, the surveillance level may be computed in real-time based on surveillance measures in place at that time. [0048] In one embodiment, the system 100 prompts the user for identity verification data, e.g. physical biometric data, based on the location and/or the surveillance level associated with the location of the device 113. In this instance, the system 100 implements a verification scheme based thereon.
  • identity verification data e.g. physical biometric data
  • the particular type and quantity of identity verification data required to access the services of the system 100 is based on the location and/or surveillance level associated with the location. For example, in a casino area the system 100 may not require any physical biometric verification for access whereas non-casino areas may require physical biometric verification with at least one item of physical biometric data. Similarly, certain common areas outside of the casino, identity verification may require further a second, redundant item of physical biometric data. In the context of the surveillance levels, areas with a type I surveillance may not require physical biometric verification whereas areas with type II surveillance may require at least one item of physical biometric data and areas with type III surveillance may further require at least one redundant item of physical biometric data. As noted above, the system 100 may implement a verification scheme to achieve a target surveillance level.
  • the system 100 may determine the surveillance level of the device location and require identity verification to the extent necessary to meet or exceed the target level. For example, at least one item of redundant verification data may be required to raise type II areas to a target type I. Similarly, at least two items of redundant verification data may be required to raise type III areas to target type I. [0049] Identity verification data may then be compared at 422 with the data stored previously, such as with the remote computer 118 and/or the authentication device 155. If identity verification fails at 424, the system 100 may prompt the user for reentry or additional data. If verification passes, the system 100 may at 426 determine if there are any location based service limits and at 428 determine any applicable user preferences related thereto.
  • the system 100 may determine which of the plurality of available services the user will be provided access to based on the location of the device and/or the surveillance level associated with the location. For example, the system 100 may provide access to all services, such as wagering, entertainment, news, messaging, telephone, IP telephony etc., in the casino, when the device 113 is located within the casino.
  • all services such as wagering, entertainment, news, messaging, telephone, IP telephony etc.
  • the system 100 blocks access to wagering services in certain areas, such as areas outside of the casino.
  • a service appropriate interface screen may be displayed for the user at the device 113. That is, the interface screen displayed for the user includes therein selectable options for accessing the enabled services. Non-enabled services will preferably be blacked out.
  • the interface screen may include menu items, icons, hyperlinks, selectable text and graphics, etc., for each of the enabled services that when selected causes a related interface screen to be displayed.
  • the system 100 may provide users with access to, e.g., video versions of table games, such as poker.
  • a related interface screen may include graphics for video poker, including playing card graphics, betting selections, etc.
  • the interface screens preferably include selectable elements for navigating through the service environment, e.g., for access to other services, and/or selectable elements for submitting gaming and wagering commands, such as hit, stay, hold, draw, bet, bet up, bet down, double down, etc.
  • the system 100 obtains data for determining whether or not there has been a user change following the prior identity verification.
  • a user change may be determined based on various types of data, such as behavioral biometric data, e.g., blood pressure, heart or pulse rate, body temperature data, speech, handwriting, keystrokes, body movements, etc., proficiency data, such as keystroke rate, menu item or icon selection rate, player pattern data, e.g., the magnitude and rate of gaming commands, wagering commands, etc.
  • behavioral biometric data e.g., blood pressure, heart or pulse rate, body temperature data, speech, handwriting, keystrokes, body movements, etc.
  • proficiency data such as keystroke rate, menu item or icon selection rate
  • player pattern data e.g., the magnitude and rate of gaming commands, wagering commands, etc.
  • the system 100 preferably determines if there is a change in the location of the device 113 at 438 and adjusts/enables the services accordingly.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes correspondants destinés à accéder à des services sur un dispositif de jeu. Dans certains modes de réalisation, lesdits procédés comprennent une ou plusieurs étapes consistant à recevoir au moins un élément de données de vérification d'identité en provenance d'un utilisateur d'un dispositif de jeu, à activer au moins un service, tel qu'un jeu de type pari, sur le dispositif de jeu sur la base d'une correspondance entre le ou les éléments de données de vérification d'identité et au moins un élément de données de vérification d'identité précédemment obtenu, à afficher un écran d'interface comprenant des objets graphiques associés au jeu de type pari et au moins un élément sélectionnable permettant à l'utilisateur de soumettre une commande de jeu et une commande de pari pendant le jeu, à obtenir au moins un élément de données de changement d'utilisateur en provenance d'un utilisateur pendant le jeu, et à inviter l'utilisateur à fournir des données de vérification d'identité lorsqu'un changement d'utilisateur est suspecté sur la base du ou des éléments de données de changement d'utilisateur.
