SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VOLUNTARILY PROVIDING BIOMETRIC DATA FOR ANONYMOUS PLAYER TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029508 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VOLUNTARILY PROVIDING BIOMETRIC DATA FOR ANONYMOUS PLAYER TRACKING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods for operating a casino gaming system that allows an anonymous player to establish a play session by providing biometric information. The player can voluntarily provide this information to link themselves to a player tracking record in the system's database.

• The player can grant permission for a camera integrated into an electronic gaming machine to capture their facial image, which can be used to locate their record or create a new record associated with their biometric signature.
• Alternatively, the player can use a camera integrated into their personal electronic device, such as a smartphone, to capture their facial image.
• Once the player's record has been identified, it is linked to the electronic gaming machine to create a play session. Player tracking data is collected during the session and integrated into the database record associated with the anonymous player.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Enhancing player tracking and identification in casino gaming systems.
• Improving security and preventing fraud by linking biometric information to player records.
• Streamlining the process of establishing play sessions for anonymous players.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Difficulty in identifying and tracking anonymous players in casino gaming systems.
• Potential for fraud or unauthorized access to player accounts.
• Inefficiency in the process of establishing play sessions for anonymous players.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved player tracking and identification, leading to better customer service and personalized experiences.
• Enhanced security and fraud prevention measures.
• Streamlined and efficient process for anonymous players to establish play sessions.

Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed are methods of operating a casino gaming system to establish a play session for an anonymous player in which the player voluntarily provides biometric information to link the player to a player tracking record in a database of the system. in some embodiments, the player grants permission for a camera integrated into an electronic gaming machine to capture a facial image to assist in the location of the record or creation of a new record associated with the player's biometric signature. in other embodiments, the player voluntarily uses a camera integrated into a personal electronic device, such as the player's smartphone, to capture the facial image. once the player record to be used has been identified, the record is linked to the electronic gaming machine to create a play session from which player tracking data is collected and integrated into the database record associated with the anonymous player.
