Abstract

Claims (43)

1. A method for tracking data in a gaming environment using a beacon, comprising:

identifying an occurrence of a triggering event in a gaming environment;

receiving event data in response to the triggering event in the gaming environment, wherein the event data includes a first key-value pair and a second key-value pair;

generating beacon data responsive to the event data, wherein generating includes identifying and combining the first key-value pair and the second key-value pair;

processing the beacon data to generate a key-value table data; and

at least one of,

storing the key-value table data in a storage device, and

displaying the key-value table data via a display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first key-value pair and second key-value pair includes a related key and value, and wherein generating beacon data further includes identifying the related key and value for each of the first and second key-value pairs identified.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating beacon data further includes generating a data string which includes the related key and value being separated from each other by a first character and the first and second key-value pairs being separated from each other by a second character.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said generating beacon data further includes receiving impression data and concatenating the impression data with the at least one key-value pair data.

5. A system for implementing a method for tracking data in a gaming environment using a beacon, comprising:

a network having a database; and

a gaming device connected to the network and configured to operate in a gaming environment, wherein at least one of the gaming device and the network includes a means for,

identifying an occurrence of a triggering event in a gaming environment;

receiving event data in response to the triggering event in the gaming environment, wherein the event data includes a first key-value pair and a second key-value pair;

generating beacon data responsive to the event data, wherein generating includes identifying and combining the first key-value pair and the second key-value pair;

processing the beacon data to generate a key-value table data; and

at least one of,

storing the key-value table data in a storage device, and

displaying the key-value table data via a display device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein each of the first key-value pair and second key-value pair includes a related key and value, and wherein generating beacon data further includes identifying the related key and value for each of the first and second key-value pairs identified.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein generating beacon data further includes generating a data string which includes the related key and value being separated from each other by a first character and the first and second key-value pairs being separated from each other by a second character.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein said generating beacon data further includes receiving impression data and concatenating the impression data with the at least one key-value pair data.

9. A computer readable storage medium having computer executable instructions for implementing a method for tracking data in a gaming environment using a beacon, comprising:

identifying an occurrence of a triggering event in a gaming environment;

receiving event data in response to the triggering event in the gaming environment, wherein the event data includes a first key-value pair and a second key-value pair;

generating beacon data responsive to the event data, wherein generating includes identifying and combining the first key-value pair and the second key-value pair;

processing the beacon data to generate a key-value table data; and

at least one of,

storing the key-value table data in a storage device, and

displaying the key-value table data via a display device.

10. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein wherein each of the first key-value pair and second key-value pair includes a related key and value, and wherein generating beacon data further includes identifying the related key and value for each of the first and second key-value pairs identified.

11. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein generating beacon data further includes generating a data string which includes the related key and value being separated from each other by a first character and the first and second key-value pairs being separated from each other by a second character.

12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein said generating beacon data further includes receiving impression data and concatenating the impression data with the at least one key-value pair data.

13. A method for tracking data in a gaming environment using a beacon, comprising:

identifying an occurrence of a triggering event in a gaming environment;

receiving data in response to the triggering event in the gaming environment, wherein the data includes a first key-value pair and a second key-value pair, each of the first key-value pair and second key-value pair having a key with an associated value;

generating beacon data responsive to the first and second key-value pairs, wherein the beacon data is generated by concatenating each of the keys with the associated values using a first character and concatenating the first key-value pair with the second key-value pair using a second character;

processing the beacon data to generate a key-value table data; and

at least one of,

storing the key-value table data in a storage device, and

displaying the key-value table data via a display device.
