System and method for digitally simulated ticket scratching
An electronic user device is configured to obtain from an application server image data associated with a ticket having a scratching area, display a digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket on a user interface; receive user-provided scratching input at an input module, and digitally simulate the scratching area of the ticket being scratched on the user interface in accordance with the user-provided scratching input.
1. A electronic user device, comprising:
an input module associated with a user interface of a ticket scratching application; and
one or more processors configured to:
obtain from an application server image data associated with a ticket having a scratching area;
display a digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface;
receive user-provided scratching input at the input module; and
digitally simulate the scratching area of the ticket being scratched on the user interface in accordance with the user-provided scratching input.
2. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the image data is obtained from a remote camera or scanner in proximity to the ticket.
3. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket is a user interface element resembling the scratching area of the ticket.
4. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes two-dimensional gestures over the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface that cause the digital simulation to display real-time scratching feedback.
5. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes selection of an affordance on the user interface that causes the digital simulation to display a preconfigured or random scratching pattern.
6. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the scratching area of the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
7. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the image data associated with the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
8. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the ticket associated with the image data is scratched without requiring any interaction by a user of the ticket scratching application.
9. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, prior to obtaining the image data associated with the ticket, receive a user input at the input module corresponding to selection of the ticket.
10. The electronic user device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to display a notification corresponding to a win status or a loss status of the ticket on the user interface.
11. A method, comprising:
at one or more processors of an electronic user device having an input module associated with a user interface of a ticket scratching application:
obtaining from an application server image data associated with a ticket having a scratching area;
displaying a digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface;
receiving user-provided scratching input at the input module; and
digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched on the user interface in accordance with the user-provided scratching input.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data is obtained from a remote camera or scanner in proximity to the ticket.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket is a user interface element resembling the scratching area of the ticket.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes two-dimensional gestures over the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface that cause the digital simulation to display real-time scratching feedback.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes selection of an affordance on the user interface that causes the digital simulation to display a preconfigured or random scratching pattern.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the scratching area of the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the image data associated with the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the ticket associated with the image data is scratched without requiring any interaction by a user of the ticket scratching application.
19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, prior to obtaining the image data associated with the ticket, receiving a user input at the input module corresponding to selection of the ticket.
20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising displaying a notification corresponding to a win status or a loss status of the ticket on the user interface.
21. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by one or more processors of an electronic user device having an input module associated with a user interface of a ticket scratching application, the one or more programs including instructions that cause the one or more processors to:
obtain from an application server image data associated with a ticket having a scratching area;
display a digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface;
receive user-provided scratching input at the input module; and
digitally simulate the scratching area of the ticket being scratched on the user interface in accordance with the user-provided scratching input.
22. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the image data is obtained from a remote camera or scanner in proximity to the ticket.
23. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the digital simulation of the scratching area of the ticket is a user interface element resembling the scratching area of the ticket.
24. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes two-dimensional gestures over the scratching area of the ticket on the user interface that cause the digital simulation to display real-time scratching feedback.
25. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the user-provided scratching input includes selection of an affordance on the user interface that causes the digital simulation to display a preconfigured or random scratching pattern.
26. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the scratching area of the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
27. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein digitally simulating the scratching area of the ticket being scratched includes revealing a portion of the image data associated with the ticket that was concealed prior to receiving the user-provided scratching input.
28. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the ticket associated with the image data is scratched without requiring any interaction by a user of the ticket scratching application.
29. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, prior to obtaining the image data associated with the ticket, receive a user input at the input module corresponding to selection of the ticket.
30. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to display a notification corresponding to a win status or a loss status of the ticket on the user interface.
