The invention provides for an automated data collection having an endpoint coupled to at least one gaming machine to collect data from the at least one gaming machine, at least one concentrator in communication with the endpoint via a personal area network to obtain the data from the endpoint, and at least one remote collection server in communication with the at least one concentrator to receive the data from the at least one concentrator, wherein the data is pushed from the endpoint to the at least one remote collection server at predefined time intervals without interrupting game play on the at least one gaming machine.

System and method for secure automated data collection

A gaming machine having a non-contact user interface and methods for receiving input to the gaming machine using the non-contact user interface are described. The gaming machine described can receive player tracking information associated with a player, where the player tracking information can include personalization information associated with the player. The gaming machine can receive a signal provided by the player at a non-contact interface device. Next, the gaming machine can decode the signal.

Game machine user interface using a non-contact eye motion recognition device

The invention provides for a sideband signal for the USB that has real-time interrupt capabilities. A system and method for hardware detection of an interrupt signal provides for the ability to superimpose a high frequency interrupt signal on a USB power line for transmission to a controller. Alternatively, an overcurrent flow may be generated from a peripheral device and detected by an overflow current detector on the USB. In response, the overflow current detector may output an interrupt/overflow current detection signal to the controller.
