Title: Multi-touch user interface for scaling reward value with random failure threshold for gaming system
Inventor: Reuben Dupuis
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2016-03-23
Abstract: A gaming system, and method of controlling a gaming system, having a touchscreen, that simulates a game of skill by showing a graphical object and detecting a pair of spaced- apart user input touch points on the touchscreen. An increase in distance between the touch points corresponds to an increase in stress upon the object, which is animated on the touchscreen, and scaling of an associated reward. A failure threshold is selected and the increase in stress is tested against the failure threshold. The failure threshold may be at least partly randomized. If the stress exceeds the threshold, then a failure event is shown. If the touch input ceases, the user may elect to accept then current reward value or to continue. The object may be a bubble and the stress may be expansion of the bubble, leading to popping of the bubble if the expansion exceeds the failure threshold.

The first base station may transmit information (e.g. charging capabilities of the first and second clusters) to the EV. The first base station may determine that the EV is receiving, or no longer receiving, energy from the first cluster of charging pads. When it is determined that the EV is no longer receiving energy from the first cluster of charging pads, the first base station may transmit the information to the second base station before the EV arrives at the second cluster of charging pads. The first base station may receive a path of the EV and select the second base station, from a plurality of base stations, to receive the information from the EV based on the path of the EV.
