Abstract
A system that utilizes a service window displayed by an electronic gaming machine to indicate to a player different wireless connection statuses of a mobile device.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor after a determination, based at least in part on a usage of the processor, to allocate at least a portion of control of a display device to a hypertext markup language content server, cause the processor to:
- responsive to a determination of a first wireless connection status between the processor and a mobile device executing an application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a first wireless connection, communicate data which results in the display device displaying, in a hypertext markup language based service window controlled, independent of the processor and by the hypertext markup language content server, a first alphanumeric message associated with the first wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, the first alphanumeric message comprising any first action to be undertaken in association with the first wireless connection status, and
- responsive to a determination of a second wireless connection status between the processor and a mobile device executing an application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a second wireless connection, communicate data which results in the display device displaying, in the hypertext markup language based service window, a second, different alphanumeric message associated with the second, different wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, the second, different alphanumeric message comprising any second, different action to be undertaken in association with the second, different wireless connection status.

A player tracking unit comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor after a determination, based at least in part on a usage of the processor, to allocate at least a portion of control of a display device to a hypertext markup language content server, cause the processor to:
- responsive to a determination of a first wireless connection status between the processor and a mobile device executing an application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a first wireless connection, communicate data which results in the display device displaying, in a hypertext markup language based service window controlled, independent of the processor and by the hypertext markup language content server, a first alphanumeric message associated with a type of wireless connection between the mobile device and the processor, the first wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, and any first action to be undertaken in association with the first wireless connection status, and
- responsive to a determination of a second, different wireless connection status between the processor and the mobile device executing an application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a second, different wireless connection, communicate data which results in the display device displaying, in the hypertext markup language based service window, a second, different alphanumeric message associated with the type of wireless connection between the mobile device and the processor, the second, different wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, and any second, different action to be undertaken in association with the second, different wireless connection status.

A method of operating a system, the method comprising:
- after a determination, based at least in part on a usage of a processor of the system, to allocate at least a portion of control of a display device associated with the system to a hypertext markup language content server:
- responsive to a determination of a first wireless connection status between the processor and a mobile device executing an application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a first wireless connection, displaying, by the display device and in a hypertext markup language based service window controlled, independent of the processor and by the hypertext markup language content server, a first alphanumeric message associated with the first wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, the first alphanumeric message comprising any first action to be undertaken in association with the first wireless connection status, and
- responsive to a determination of a second, different wireless connection status between the processor and the mobile device executing the application unable to output information regarding a failure or a severance of a second, different wireless connection, displaying, by the display device and in the hypertext markup language based service window, a second, different alphanumeric message associated with the second, different wireless connection status between the mobile device and the processor, the second, different alphanumeric message comprising any second, different action to be undertaken in association with the second, different wireless connection status.
