Abstract
An embedded additional user interfaceincludes a web page display screenand an embedded processor, and is incorporated into a gaming machinethat in turn includes a gaming screenand a gaming processor. The embedded processoremploys an internal operating system and communicates with the gaming processor. The embedded processor reads incoming data, translates the data into a web authoring language, and maps the data to the web page display screen. The display screenpresents web page information to a user via the display screen, thereby increasing user excitement by providing a richer gaming experience. This provides a dramatic improvement over traditional system components(input/output peripherals) that have been used in the past to access service and system information, such as a 2-line, 20-character VF display and a 12-digit keypad.
