Abstract
The disclosure relates to devices, systems, methods and computer readable media for providing network management of remote card handling, and physical manipulation. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to networked devices, systems, methods and computer program methods for remotely, physically modifying a card while leaving a physical record of the modified card for inspection and validation and delivering the manipulation results to a user, and/or other third parties, for example, scratch lottery cards and ballot cards.
Claims24
A networked device for remotely modifying physical cards, comprising:
- a. a first card holder and a second card holder, the first card holder is configured to store a plurality of unmodified cards, and the second card holder is configured to receive and store physically modified cards;
- b. a first card conveyor and a second card conveyor, configured to convey cards over a conveying platform, between said first card holder and said second card holder;
- c. a physical modification module (PMM), which is configured to displace a modifying member, for physically modifying an unmodified card conveyed therethrough over said conveying platform, by removing at least one portion of the card;
- d. an imaging module comprising one or more light modules and a camera configured to capture images of the cards conveyed on said conveying platform;
- e. a cleaning module, configured to remove physical modification residues from the cards during and following their physical modification;
- and
- f. a central processing module (CPM) configured to be in communication with one or more controllers of said first and second card holders, said first and second card conveyors, said PMM, said imaging module, said cleaning module, and with a communication network,
- wherein said CPM is configured to receive remote requests for modifying one or more selected unmodified cards, to operate said first and second card conveyors, said PMM, said imaging module, and said cleaning module, for physically modifying the one or more selected unmodified cards, and to capture one or more images of said selected unmodified cards and of modified cards.
