Mobile gaming systemMobile gaming system description/claimsThe Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090258691, Mobile gaming system. Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
The current invention relates to a mobile gaming system on wireless networks and a method associated therewith. More particularly the present invention relates to lottery gaming on wireless communication devices and methods of implementing these games. There are many ways of playing lottery games. The most popular is purchasing a lottery ticket from a vendor at a local store or other establishment. The results of the lottery can be tracked by the purchaser, after the actual lottery, by watch in TV, listing to the radio or seeing the results posted at the establishments which sell the lottery tickets. This conventional method of playing lottery games is burdensome to today\'s highly mobile individual. This method requires the individual to go out of their way to find a vendor or establishment that sells lottery tickets. The purchaser must normally wait in line to make his or her purchase of one or more tickets. In addition, if an individual is resting at home or is at work and decides to play the lottery he or she must complete the task at hand and travel to a location which sells lottery tickets, stand in line and purchase the lottery tickets. The reduction in size of the personal computer has resulted in handheld Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and cellular telephone with the capability to download games and other types of software. These devices have enabled a user to download many popular games such as solitaire, poker, video slots and other lottery games. At first these games were embedded in the devices by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Later the games could be purchased as software and loaded into personal computers. From these PCs they could be downloaded through a cable connection to the PDAs. Eventually wireless communications replaced hard wire connections and the games could be wirelessly downloaded into the handheld devices and cell phones. There are currently many different handheld devices and cellular phones which employ many different platforms on which these devices operate. At this time there are no standards between the platforms and therefore the games must be specifically designed for the individual platforms. This is very costly. The different platforms may not allow a game designed for a certain platform to operate correctly on another platform. In addition, if an individual decides to utilize a different PDA or cellular phone then they must repurchase all the games they had is their previous PDA or cell phone. This becomes prohibitively expensive and may sway the individual\'s decision to purchase the game in the first place. There are also differences between some devices and the resources available for the devices such as Windows® for PCs and OSX® for Apple computers. The games must include software which is compatible with these different operating systems. These differences further add to the incompatibility between different handheld devices and games which can be downloaded onto these devices. When cellular phones are employed as a platform there are a further set of game distribution challenges. The cellular phone companies normally employ different transmission standards for their wireless networks which are only compatible with phones specifically designed to operate with these standards. Therefore, to be compatible with the different cell phones the games must be designed to operate with each of these different standards. The disclosed embodiments provide a system and method for providing lottery like games over a wireless network. The system and method permit a user of a mobile wireless device to play a lottery game electronically with the feel of a real game. Once a user is registered onto the system they can utilize an identification code to authorize the downloading of lottery games from a server to their mobile device. A financial account enables the user to electronically pay for the lottery games. Notification of the results of the lottery games can be made by e-mail, SMS or an IVR call. Accordingly, it is an objective of the instant invention to provide a system for playing lottery like games over a wireless network utilizing a mobile wireless device which the user currently owns. It is a further objective of the instant invention to provide a system for playing lottery like games over a wireless network wherein a proprietary mobile device is not required for playing mobile lottery games or different games that are available over the wireless network. It is another objective of the instant invention to allow the user the easiest mode of playing the lottery game that the user is familiar with. It is yet another objective of the instant invention to provide a system for playing lottery like games over a wireless network utilizing an application based system. It is a still further objective of the invention to provide a system for playing lottery games over a wireless network utilizing an interactive voice response system. It is still yet another objective of the instant invention to provide a system for playing lottery like games over a wireless network utilizing a WAP (Wireless Application Protocols) browser to allow a mobile phone to access the Internet.
