  • Publication number: 20240046739
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for training a neural network associated with a casino table game monitoring system. Synthetic images of objects extracted from a virtual table game environment are used to train a machine learning model, which is deployed to a casino table game monitoring system to monitor one or more physical objects relative to a physical gaming table in a physical table game environment.

  • Patent number: 11854337
    Abstract: A gaming terminal includes an input device, an image sensor, and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry detects user input received at the input device and that is associated with a restricted action, receives, via the image sensor, image data that corresponds to the user input, applies at least one neural network model to the image data to classify pixels of the image data as representing human characteristics including at least one face and at least one pose model, compares, based at least partially on pixel coordinates of (i) the human characteristics within the received image data and (ii) a user input zone within the image data, each of the pose models to the user input zone and the faces, and permits, in response to one of the pose models matching (i) a face of the at least one face and (ii) the user input zone, the restricted action.

  • Patent number: 11798353
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for training a neural network associated with a casino table game monitoring system. Synthetic images of objects extracted from a virtual table game environment are used to create a ground truth set, which is then used to train and test a neural network. When the neural network's classification of the extracted images is deemed accurate enough, the neural network may then be deployed in a casino to track the use of corresponding physical objects in real casino table game play as part of the casino table game monitoring system.

  • Patent number: 11183012
    Abstract: A system including an image sensor that captures image data of a gaming table and a player area, and a tracking controller communicatively coupled to the image sensor. The tracking controller detects a player and a token set from the captured image data by applying an image neural network model to the image data to generate at least one key player data element for the player and at least one key token data element for the token set, generates a player data object representing physical characteristics of the player based on the key player data elements, links the player data object to a player identifier of the player, generates a token identifier based on the key token data elements, and links the token identifier to the player data object based on a physical relationship between the player and the token set indicated by the key data elements.

  • Patent number: 8149729
    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a process for detecting a phone includes monitoring wirelessly transmitted traffic between first and second stations. Next, the process determines whether the traffic sent in both directions between the first and second stations are close to each other in term of traffic volume. The process identifies a total frames count of a number of frames of an identical frame size transmitted, where the number of frames is greater than any number of frames of a same size. The process calculates the percentage of the count that was just collected out of the count of the total frames. The process identifies the first station as a phone if the calculated percentage is over a first threshold and the total frames count is over a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 8122243
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of methods and apparatuses to provide shielding from key cracking in wireless networks are described. In one embodiment, a first frame having a first content is identified. Determination is made whether the first frame needs to be shielded. A second frame having at least a portion of the first content is transmitted in response to determining that the first frame needs to be shielded. The first frame has data encrypted with a first encryption and the second frame has data encrypted with a second encryption.
