Virtual gaming service, e.g. casino, operated between mobile phone and server using SMS signals, exchanges code word and key encoding game transactions

摘要

The phone is used to input a selection to the server. The phone code word is queried. The response to the server, registers the customer. The server transmits an offer of service to the phone. At the phone a game is then selected, the selection signal being returned. The server generates a unique key allocated only to the particular phone, for transmitting instruction for the selected game to the phone. The connection is broken. With an SMS signal, either an instruction is coupled with the unique key from the phone to the server, and the instruction is used to start a round of the game at the server, or else cancellation is effected. Following termination of a round, the server signals the result using SMS. At the server a newly-generated unique key is generated, transmitted and loaded into the phone for the next use; also the user account is updated. Those stages following the first SMS transmission are repeated, until a phone SMS signal terminates play.
