摘要： Techniques for providing a common input for multiple users are disclosed. Two separate input detection systems can be provided. One input detection system detects the identity of user while the other detects the location of input for processing. The information provided by the two detection systems is effectively reconciled to determine whether a particular user identified by the first system has provided input in a particular location indicated by the second system. Information can be reconciled, for example, at least partially based on the timing information provided by the two systems (e.g., whether the times indicated by the two systems are within an acceptable range). It will also be appreciated that both input system can be integrated into a single device which can be presented, for example, as multi-user touchscreen. The multi-user touch screen can provide a common input surface to serve numerous applications.

摘要： Techniques for forming and using formal partnerships are disclosed. Two or more entities (e.g., individual players, groups, organizations) can form a partnership for the purpose of participating in one or more games. In effect, a game can be played for a partnership without the active participation of all the entities (or partners) that have formed the partnership. The game can, for example, be played by one or the partners or an authorized representative of the partnership. When a game is played on behalf of a partnership, the gaming activity is effectively tracked and verification data is stored for the partnership. Verification data can be made available to allow the partners to verify the outcome of the game.

摘要： Techniques for processing input based on the execution state of computer programs are disclosed. One or more discreet locations (e.g., points, areas, regions, surfaces) of the input device can be effectively selected for an execution state of an instance of computer program code. Only the selected input locations of input devices including those capable of receiving multiple input need to be monitored for input. Input is detected and effectively filtered for visually-based input devices (e.g., touch screens). A visual image representing the input surfaces (or areas) of the input device can be captured as graphics data (e.g., graphics data captured by a camera). Moreover, the captured image can be effectively filtered by only processing the portions of the graphics data that correspond or represent the selected input locations of the input device (i.e., the selected input locations for the current state of execution). One or more Inferred (IR) sources are configured to emit controlled IR light for a multi-touch screen. The IR light can be effectively trapped within the surfaces of the touch screen, whereby the presence of an object that comes in close proximity and/or contact with the touch screen surface disturbs the controlled IR light and causes it to diverge out of the surfaces of the touch screen so that it can be captured by an IR detection mechanism (e.g., a camera). One or more portions of the graphics data captured by the IR detection mechanism are then analyzed to detect the presence of a physical object provided as input. As such, relatively more sophisticated detection mechanism can be utilized and/or system performance can be improved. Input detection mechanisms can be effectively tuned to account for various conditions including wear and tear of the input surfaces.
摘要翻译：公开了基于计算机程序的执行状态处理输入的技术。可以有效地选择输入设备的一个或多个谨慎的位置（例如，点，区域，区域，表面）以用于计算机程序代码的实例的执行状态。需要监视输入设备的选择输入位置，包括能够接收多个输入的输入设备的输入位置。对于基于视觉的输入设备（例如，触摸屏），检测并有效地过滤输入。可以将表示输入装置的输入面（或区域）的视觉图像作为图形数据（例如，由照相机拍摄的图形数据）来捕获。此外，通过仅处理对应于或表示输入设备的所选择的输入位置的图形数据的部分（即，用于当前执行状态的所选择的输入位置），可以有效地过滤捕获的图像。一个或多个推断（IR）源被配置为发射用于多点触摸屏的受控IR光。可以将IR光有效地捕获在触摸屏的表面内，由此与触摸屏表面紧密接触和/或接触的物体的存在会干扰受控的IR光，并使其发散出触摸屏，使其可以被IR检测机构（例如，照相机）捕获。然后分析由IR检测机构捕获的图形数据的一个或多个部分，以检测作为输入提供的物理对象的存在。因此，可以利用相对更复杂的检测机制和/或可以提高系统性能。可以有效地调整输入检测机构以考虑包括输入表面的磨损和撕裂的各种条件。

摘要： A modularized gaming machine operable to receive wagers on a play of a game of chance is described. The modularized gaming machine may include a base gaming module that can operate independently or can be coupled to additional gaming modules. In one embodiment, the base gaming module may include a security monitoring system operable to determine a security configuration including error conditions that depends on features of gaming modules coupled to the base gaming module. In another embodiment, the security monitoring system may be operable to monitor a fixed security configuration that is independent of the configuration of the modularized gaming machine. The fixed security configuration may anticipate input from security devices that are unconnected in a particular configuration of the modularized gaming machine. In these instances, a signal mechanism may provide information to the security monitoring system to ensure a non-error condition for unconnected security devices.

摘要： Systems and methods for conducting cashless gaming or player tracking within a gaming environment are disclosed. Players with associated player accounts are provided player tracking instruments having rewriteable displays. Also provided are gaming devices or machines having display panels adapted to display content and scan input through set display and read regions. Data on player tracking instruments is updated and displayed thereupon, and the input display panels of the gaming devices are used to read this data. These input display panels can also be used to read biometric information from players to confirm proper player account associations. The player tracking instruments may contain an RFID tag to receive communications from a transceiver associated with the gaming device or machine. A feedback loop from a master gaming controller to a transceiver to a player tracking instrument to an input display panel and back to the master gaming controller can be created.
