CHIP TRACKING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233477 titled 'CHIP TRACKING SYSTEM
The abstract of this patent application describes a gaming system that uses a chip tray positioned above a light-diffusion box to illuminate and capture images of chips in a stack for tracking and denomination purposes.
- Gaming system with chip tray above light-diffusion box
- Transparent portion on underside of chip tray
- Diffused light illuminates chips in stack through transparent portion
- Image sensor captures images of chips for tracking
- Visible indicator on chip edge associated with denomination value
- Value of chip stack computed based on denomination value and chip dimensions
Potential Applications: - Casino gaming systems - Inventory tracking systems - Security systems for tracking valuable items
Problems Solved: - Efficient tracking and denomination of chips in a stack - Enhanced security and accuracy in gaming systems
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in casino operations - Enhanced security and tracking capabilities - Accurate denomination of chip stacks
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Gaming System for Efficient Chip Tracking" This technology can be used in casinos, gaming establishments, and other industries requiring accurate tracking and denomination of items.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the transparent portion on the chip tray contribute to the tracking process?
The transparent portion allows diffused light to illuminate the chips in the stack for accurate tracking.
2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the gaming industry?
This technology can improve efficiency, security, and accuracy in gaming operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a gaming system with a chip tray positioned above a light-diffusion box. the chip tray has a transparent portion on its underside. a tracking controller illuminates the light-diffusion box with diffused light that shines through a transparent portion on an underside of the chip tray and illuminates the edge of one or more chips in a chip stack. an image sensor captures an image of the one or more chips in response to illumination of the light-diffusion box. the tracking controller analyzes a visible indicator on the edge of the one or more chips. the tracking controller associates the visible indicator with a denomination value for the chip stack. further, the tracking controller computes a value of the chip stack based on the denomination value and a dimension of at least one of the one or more chips.
