Definitions

  • the embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for allowing a player to make wagers over remote devices and computers, and more particularly, to systems and methods for confirming the location of the player using location based services and authenticating and verifying that location through (mobile) Carrier network generated and/or network centric data that validates the location of the player.

  • Wireless gaming is on the horizon. There are generally two types of wireless gaming. First, a particular jurisdiction, for example a state in the U.S., may allow certain types of wagers to be made over a wireless device as long as the player is within the borders of the state. The player may make a wager over a telephone through an interactive voice recognition (IVR) system.
  • IVR interactive voice recognition
  • wireless based gaming may be provided within a particular casino. Since
  • the state of Nevada has allowed wireless gaming (e.g., the placing of wagers using wireless devices within a casino.) Other states may soon follow suit.
  • the jurisdiction may allow casino patrons to use remote, wireless devices to place wagers within the sports book or other designated areas within the casino such as restaurants and pool areas while prohibiting the placement of wireless wagers within other areas such as hotel rooms.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • GPS providers and location based applications allow users to determine and self-report their GPS-based location to provide maps and/or directions and to share their location with other users.
  • the application allows the user to set the location (e.g., by address, city, or state) that other users observe, which allows by-passing of the GPS determined location.
  • FIG. 1 One known method 10 for attempting to verify the location and identity of a caller attempting to make a wager is shown in Figure 1.
  • This method requires the use of a telephone which establishes the location of the telephone using a beeper.
  • the caller uses the telephone to call into an IVR and enters an account number.
  • the IVR system sends an account access request (based on the entered account number) to the wagering system (step 14).
  • the wagering system verifies that the account is valid, active and is authorized to use beepers, and generates a PIN (step 16).
  • step 18 the wagering system sends the PIN to a beeper system which sends the PIN to the caller's beeper.
  • the wagering system sends the PIN and other account information to the IVR system in step 20.
  • the IVR system asks the caller to enter the PIN (step 22) which is then entered by the caller (step 24).
  • step 26 the IVR system verifies that the entered PIN matches the information received from the wagering system and then allows the caller to place wagers.

  • the grid 300 includes a plurality of individual cells 305 each including a cell tower 310 and base station housing electronics (e.g., receivers and transmitters) which facilitate the functionality of the cell network.
  • the cell towers constantly track cell phone signals and the strength of those signals. This allows the towers to compute roughly the caller's general location in the cell phone grid 300. Since the cell towers 310 only have a certain radius within which they can pick up and send calls, the cell towers 310 need to pass off the signal reception to another nearby cell tower 310 if the caller moves too far out of range. This constant exchange of information allows an exact cell phone location to be determined.
  • Figure 9 shows a diagram 350 visually indicating how the location of a cell phone is determined using signal strength data of three cell towers 310-1 through 310-3.
  • the methodology involves determining the cell tower 310-1 with the strongest signal and plot the radius of signal detection associated with the cell tower 310-1. Since the signal as detected by cell tower 310-1 is the strongest, the cell phone must be within the radius of signal detection of cell tower 310-1. Next plot the radius of the cell tower 310-2 with the second strongest reception. Lastly, plot the radius of the cell tower 310-3 with the third strongest reception.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé pour permettre de placer un ou plusieurs paris sur un réseau sans fil en utilisant un dispositif distant grâce à l'authentification d'un compte utilisateur établi et en validant la position du joueur en utilisant les données centrées sur le réseau. Le joueur utilise le dispositif distant, qui peut être un téléphone cellulaire ou un dispositif informatique distant, relié de manière sécurisée à un système de pari sur un réseau sans fil (par exemple, un réseau 3G). Selon le type de jeu, la position du joueur est déterminée en utilisant un GPS et/ou une technologie de plan de commande utilisant des informations de réseau porteur. Des paris peuvent être placés en utilisant des instructions verbales ou des entrées par clavier permettant de communiquer avec un système de reconnaissance vocale interactif, une application logicielle dédiée, une application fonctionnant grâce à un opérateur en direct et/ou un navigateur Web. Indépendamment de la méthodologie de placement du pari, le dispositif distant est relié à un serveur de pari et une vérification de position est spécifique au dispositif distant sujet relié à celui-ci. D'autres procédés de vérification de la position sont utilisés comme protection contre les impostures.
