Faults and Performance Issue Prediction
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating a set of fault prediction rules comprising the steps of:
- operating one or more gaming devices;
collecting event data from the one or more gaming devices or from sensors associated with the one or more gaming devices;
analyzing event data from the gaming devices with a computer processor;
generating a set of one or more fault prediction rules from the event data analysis with a computer processor based on patterns of gaming device operation and faults.

Abstract
Systems and methods for an online predictive diagnostic and prognostic maintenance system are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured for use with networked gaming machines. The systems and methods may operate in real time and may detect and analyze data representing various indicators of machine performance or a current or future decrease in machine performance. The data may represent or be used to predict machine performance and risk of failure and to identify necessary or recommended repair, maintenance or other performance issues. In another embodiment systems and methods are disclosed for automated analysis of data regarding machine operation and generation of rules related to predicting the future performance, repair and maintenance needs of machines.

15. A method of predicting a performance issue with a gaming machine, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a plurality of data elements representing operational characteristics of a gaming machine; analyzing the plurality of data elements to determine whether the plurality of data elements are indicative of a risk of a performance issue with the gaming machine based on a set of rules for determining the risk of a performance issue; responsive to a determination that one or more of the data elements are indicative of a risk of a performance issue with the gaming machine, transmitting a signal to a server indicating the risk of a performance issue. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 27, 28)

22. A system that monitors and facilitates an analysis of data collected from a gaming machine that is used to determine a level of risk of a performance issue with the machine comprising:
-
a processor configured to collect data representing operational aspects of the gaming machine and transmit the collected data; a database configured to receive and store the collected data, the database being operatively linked to the gaming machine; a server operatively linked to the database, the server being configured to process the collected data and to generate a risk factor for a performance issue with the gaming machine, the risk factor being based on a set of rules for determining the risk of a performance issue with the gaming machine. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
