Abstract
An augmented reality (AR) viewing device includes a processor circuit and a memory including computer readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to generate an image of the EGM, obtain, based on the image of the EGM, a network address associated with the EGM, transmit a registration message to the network address associated with the EGM, and receive a registration response from the EGM in response to the registration message.
Claims21
An augmented reality (AR) device, comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- a memory coupled to the processor circuit;
- a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor circuit;
- and
- a camera coupled to the processor circuit;
- wherein the memory comprises computer readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to:
- generate an image of a first plurality of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) using the camera;
- determine a current location of the AR device;
- access an EGM database comprising EGM data for a second plurality of EGMs;
- based on the current location of the AR device, select a plurality of candidate EGMs from the second plurality of EGMs, wherein each candidate EGM of the of the plurality of candidate EGMs comprises a known location corresponding to the current location of the AR device;
- based on the image of the first plurality of EGMs, generate a correlation between the plurality of EGMs with a corresponding subset of the plurality of candidate EGMs;
- obtain, based on the correlation, a network address associated with a first EGM of the plurality of EGMs;
- transmit a registration message using the wireless transceiver to the network address associated with the first EGM;
- and
- receive a registration response using the wireless transceiver from the EGM in response to the registration message.

A host computer system, comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- a memory coupled to the processor circuit;
- and
- a transceiver coupled to the processor circuit;
- wherein the memory comprises computer readable instructions that cause the processor circuit to:
- receive, via the transceiver, an image of a plurality of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) from an augmented reality (AR) device, the image comprising a first feature of a first EGM of the plurality of EGMs and a second feature of a second EGM of the plurality of EGMs;
- identify the first EGM based on the first feature and the second feature in the image;
- and
- transmit, via the transceiver, identity information regarding the first EGM to the AR device.
