Patent number: 9342951Abstract: A secure architecture can provide a wagering game establishment access to the utility and entertainment value of online social communities. An architecture that employs an internal entity that controls import and export of data (“import/export controller”) and an external entity that operates as a liaison (“data liaison”) between the import/export controller and one or more online social communities allows this access in a secure manner. The import/export controller and the data liaison handle data transmissions (e.g., data streams, data updates, etc.) between the secure entity and the one or more online social communities. The import/export controller applies rules that regulate import and export of data, and the data liaison allows the import/export controller to operate in obscurity. Funneling data transmissions through the import/export controller and the data liaison allows players to securely access an online social community from a wagering game machine while in a wagering game establishment.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: BALLY GAMING, INC.Inventors: Damon E. Gura, Budyanto Himawan, Mahesh Lakshmanaperumal, Krishnakumar Meluveettil, Scott H. Schulhof

Patent number: 9311775Abstract: A secure architecture can provide a bridge between the utility and entertainment value of online properties. An architecture that employs an internal entity that controls import and export of data (“import/export controller”) and an external entity that operates as a liaison (“data liaison”) between the import/export controller and one or more other online properties allows this bridge in a secure manner. The import/export controller and the data liaison handle data transmissions (e.g., data feeds, data updates, etc.) between the online properties without exposing resources of the online properties. The import/export controller applies rules that regulate import and export of data, and the data liaison allows the import/export controller to operate in obscurity.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Bally Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Damon E. Gura, Budyanto Himawan, Mahesh Lakshmanaperumal, Krishnakumar Meluveettil, Scott H. Schulhof
