Remote management of a gaming machine through retrieval of an inventory of assets
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request, from a game server, for discovery for an inventory of assets in a gaming machine having a host platform, the host platform having a host processor;
retrieving a list of the inventory of assets from a data store in a subsystem that is independent of a power state or an operating system state of the host platform, the subsystem having a subsystem processor that operates independent of the host processor; and
transmitting the list of the inventory of assets back to the game server.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for remote management of a gaming machine are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a host platform having a host processor controlled by a host operating system. The host platform has a host storage and a host power state, wherein the host processor is to execute instructions that includes a wagering game. The apparatus also includes a subsystem that is operable independent of the host operating system and the host power state. The subsystem includes a processor that is separate from the host processor. The subsystem also includes a nonvolatile data store that is separate from the storage of the host platform.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
a host platform having a host processor controlled by a host operating system, the host platform having a host storage and a host power state, wherein the host processor is configured to execute instructions that include a wagering game; and a subsystem having a processor that is separate from the host processor and executes independently of the host operating system and the host power state, the subsystem further having a nonvolatile data store that is separate from the storage of the host platform, the subsystem operable to; receive a request from a requestor for discovery of an inventory of assets in the host platform, retrieve a list of the inventory of assets from the nonvolatile data store, and transmit the list of the inventory of assets to the requestor. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
