Claim architecture

What the Granted Patent Protects

The granted claims describe an end-to-end wagering pipeline together with a parallel control path determining how much data a user receives according to the economic mode in which they are wagering.

Parallel decision branch

What economic mode is the user operating in?

The mode determination governs the data-delivery behaviour of the service. This branch is the distinguishing technical structure of the granted claims.

Branch A — simulated

  1. Minimal / zero-value pseudo-currency
  2. Simulated gambling mode
  3. Reduce frequency / amount of updates
  4. Reduce network data transfer
  5. Limit results / data delivered

Branch B — non-simulated

  1. Real-world-value gambling credits
  2. Non-simulated mode
  3. Higher-frequency / real-time gambling experience

Specification support

The patent specification expressly describes reducing the frequency of real-world-event updates and other data to conserve network bandwidth, and describes reducing data transferred to simulated users relative to non-simulated users.

Control layer

Wagering threshold control

Independent of the mode branch, the granted independent claims require the gambling credits able to be wagered during a predefined period to be limited to a defined threshold.

Predefined period

A bounded time window over which wagering activity is assessed.

Defined threshold

A ceiling on the gambling credits able to be wagered within that window.

Enforcement

The service constrains wagering by reference to that threshold.
