Patent number: 11956554Abstract: A remote detection method, node, and system is described. The detector includes a wireless communications module that wirelessly transmits the detection message to a remote sensing device. The remote sensing device includes a camera having a field of view and wirelessly communicates with the detector. The remote illumination and detection method performs preliminary filtering of captured image data to determine images/frames of interest with a computer vision module on board a processor in the node. The images of interest are then transmitted to a cloud computing component via a wireless or cellular network for detailed analysis to determine the presence or absence of motion or an object in each image of interest. The cloud computing component may employ machine learning computations that time and energy intensive, such as convolutional neural networks.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: SENSERA SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: David Curtis Gaw, John Daley

Patent number: 11935360Abstract: A gaming device may perform various electronic games, such as a keno game, and may include a game controller configured to control operations of the performed electronic games. During the course of a game performed on the gaming device, the game controller may control various winning scenarios, including alternate winning scenarios. At certain stages in a keno game, a number of markers may be selected. Before, after, or while these markers are selected, the game controller may determine how many bonus markers will be selected. Based on the number of selected bonus markers, the game controller may initiate a bonus draw phase where an additional number of markers may be selected. After all markers have been selected, any selected bonus markers may be added together and the calculated sum may be added to a credit balance associated with a player of the gaming device.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Daley, Allon Englman, Daniel Mirjavadi, Christopher Brune

Publication number: 20230306822Abstract: A bonus round of a video keno game may consist of a series of bonus game instances. During a bonus game instance, a game controller may identify a set of bonus game pieces and select a set of bonus outcome identifiers from a bonus outcome pool. A win amount may be determined based on the number of matches between the set of bonus outcome identifiers and the set of bonus game pieces. The bonus outcome identifiers may include persistent identifiers and non-persistent identifiers. Persistent identifiers may be removed from the bonus outcome pool for subsequent bonus game instances in the series. Additionally or alternatively, the bonus game pieces corresponding to the persistent identifiers may continue to be matches for the subsequent bonus game instances in the series.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Daniel Mirjavadi, John Daley, Christopher Brune, David Kaminkow

Publication number: 20230130615Abstract: A computer-based video keno game displays a keno game including a set of game pieces of a game board of the keno game, each respective game piece of the game board corresponding to a respective number. A user interface may receive a player input for the keno game, where the player input specifies a set of selected game pieces including a set of special game pieces. A game controller may select a set of numbers from a pool of numbers and determine an amount of matches between the set of selected numbers and the set of selected game pieces. If the last selected number matches a special game piece, a number of free games may be multiplied by a multiplier.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: John Daley, Christopher Brune, David Kaminkow, Daniel Mirjavadi
