20090298575 | Monitoring Networked Entertainment Devices - Pay to play entertainment machines or devices for gaming, gambling and other entertainment functions used in public spaces such as bars, clubs etc are networked and centrally controlled. A set of schedules is established, each schedule defining a set of attributes for operation of an entertainment device and stored in a database. Each entertainment device in the network is associated with one or more groups of devices, each group having a specified one of said schedules. For each entertainment device in the network, all the schedules that apply to that device are used to determine a subset of attributes that shall prevail in that device and the device is then automatically configured to have that subset of attributes. Event messages generated in each entertainment device are transmitted to a central messaging server on a real-time or batch process basis according to a priority level. A priority is set to the different event messages maintained in the queue. | 12-03-2009 |
20100017326 | Credit Handler For Entertainment Device - Pay to play entertainment machines or devices for gaming, gambling and other entertainment functions used in public spaces such as bars, clubs etc are networked and centrally controlled. Each entertainment device has at least one payment mechanism such as a coin acceptor or a card reader. Content executables (e.g. games) are configured to use a set of generic payment instruction messages to communicate with the payment mechanisms. A credit handler module translates generic payment instruction messages to and from specific payment functionality messages as used by the different payment mechanisms and also applies any transaction processing logic that is required consequent on the particular domain of operation of the entertainment device, e.g. legal requirements. Thus, locally applicable requirements relating to credit handling operations in the real and virtual environment of the entertainment device can be implemented without modifying content executables. | 01-21-2010 |

20130268812 | Networked, Channelized Power Distribution, Monitor and Control for Security and Life Safety Applications - An apparatus includes a plurality of power distribution control output channels operatively coupled to at least one power source, and comprising an access control input from an access control device, and a control output for a controlled device. A controller receives an access control input signal for each power distribution control output channel and provides a control signal to each power distribution control output channel such that each power distribution control output channel provides a control output signal according to requirements of a corresponding controlled device. The controller can individually isolate one or more power distribution control output channels from the at least one power source such that the control output signal is removed from the corresponding controlled device, while any other power distribution control output channels coupled to the same power source continues to operate without interruption. | 10-10-2013 |
20130275783 | Apparatus and Method for a Networked Power Management System with One-Click Remote Battery Discharge Testing - A method of operation includes receiving, by a power supply with battery backup, a battery test command from a user interface on a remote device, switching the power supply to the battery backup in response to the battery test command, monitoring voltage and discharge current of the battery, determining that the battery has reached a threshold capacity due the battery discharge, terminating the battery discharge test and switching the power supply off of the battery backup. The battery backup test command received may be a one-click selection input at a user interface on the remote device where the battery test command is sent to the power supply in response to the one-click selection input. An apparatus that performs the method of operation is also disclosed. | 10-17-2013 |
