  • Patent number: 11074788
    Abstract: A method is proposed for processing a game participation request. The method comprises receiving, from a terminal, a participation request comprising a prize amount indication and based on the prize amount, determining a winning criterion for a random number to meet for the game participation request to yield a winning participation. The method further comprises receiving a random number from a number generator, determining whether the number meets the winning criterion and communicating a message that the participation is a winning participation if the random number meets the criterion. With a prize amount a priori unknown by a game server as the electronic gaming arrangement, it is advantageous to relate winning for to the specific prize amount. In order to remain profitable, it is preferred to attribute lower winning chances for higher prize amounts. This is enabled by relating the winning criterion to the prize amount communicated to the server.

  • Patent number: 11032470
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating sensors arrangement and shifting for multisensory super-resolution cameras in imaging environments, according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes arranging sensors of a camera such that pixel centers of pixels of an image are spread evenly across a pixel area having pixel planes corresponding to the sensors, where the image is captured by the camera. The method may further include re-arranging the sensors by dividing the sensors in pairs of sensors, where each pair of sensors corresponds to a pair of pixel planes, and shifting the sensors diagonally such that the corresponding pixel planes are adjusted accordingly for improving quality of the image.
