  • Patent number: 12243380
    Abstract: An integrated active control system includes gaming devices, a server, and a network connecting the server and gaming devices. The gaming devices include gaming terminals and gaming tables. The integrated active control system aggregates gaming transaction information from the gaming devices and determines, for example, the effectiveness of the gaming establishment's floor configuration. Based on this effectiveness determination, at least one of the gaming devices are instructed to change their configuration. Staffing information may also be considered and reconfigured. The integrated active control system further monitors and configures gaming chips. The gaming chips are programmable, and may store monetary chip value and chip identification information. The programmable gaming chips are monitored for tracking the wagers made with the chips as well as for detecting their location.

  • Patent number: 9356845
    Abstract: A system and method for audience segment profiling and targeting. The method includes providing a Web server and receiving each of the inbound request messages from one of the Web browsers in the Web server. Selected data contained in each of the inbound request messages is extracted including a UserAgent string and an IP address associated with the inbound request message. A hash ID is generated from the extracted data to uniquely identify each user associated with inbound request messages which is used to augment traditional means for identifying a user such as using a LSO or Cookie when such a LSO or Cookie are not present.
