Patent CA-2172800-C (CA)
Inventor: SNOWDEN GUY B
IPC: G06Q50/34
Filed: 1994-09-26
Granted: 2007-05-08
Abstract: Système de jeux de hasard, tel qu'une loterie équipée d'un ordinateur central en liaison avec des terminaux d'agents où sont délivrés des billets, par exemple dans des épiceries de dépannage et similaires. Ce système est pourvu d'un système de vérification des gains manipulé par le joueur, couplé au réseau de communications, de préférence comme périphérique du terminal de l'agent mais éventuellement, comme terminal de réseau séparé. Les choix du joueur et les identifications de jeux sont traduits en code barre sur les billets. Le joueur analyse automatiquement le ticket pour initialiser la comparaison entre ses données sous forme de code barre et les données d'entrée gagnantes conservées dans la mémoire des anciens jeux, de telle sorte qu'il n'est pas besoin de recourir au stockage des données sur les transactions individuelles de paris pour procéder à la vérification des gains. Ceci permet de réduire la charge de travail de l'agent et du réseau, puisque la plupart des billets émis ne nécessite plus la présence de l'agent pour en vérifier la validité en vue de leur paiement. Un nombre limité de jeux anciens est stocké, par exemple, les plus récents trente cycles du jeu de Keno joués à cinq minutes d'intervalle. Un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants peuvent accueillir la mémoire des anciens jeux: le système de vérification des gains, le terminal de l'agent, ou le calculateur central. Les données de choix gagnants sont fournies après chaque jeu, ou bien les choix des joueurs analysés sont chargés, pour effectuer la comparaison. Si le billet est trop ancien pour que les données de jeu correspondantes soient gardées dans la mémoire des anciens jeux, le joueur est dirigé vers l'agent, qui peut alors utiliser son terminal pour tenter de valider gagnant l'ancien billet.

Title: System and method for controlling play of multiple audio tracks of a software carrier
Inventor: COOKSON CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: H04H60/04
Filed: 1994-10-13
Granted: 1997-11-18
Abstract: A system for selectively combining numerous audio tracks recorded on an optical disk (23), including subtracting, by phase inversion, particular tracks from a full mix. Each track might contain a recording of an individual instrument, or a group of instruments. When the disk (23) is played, the player provides the user with menu choices (79) -- which tracks should be played and mixed together. In this way, the user can create his/her own orchestral mix, perhaps omitting an instrument in a "play along" application, or playing one instrument alone to be mimicked for practice purposes. The disk (23) further includes track definitions in multiple languages (79) so that the same disk (23) can be distributed throughout the world, with menu choices (79) being given in a language selected by the user.
