Gaming machine having a curved display with a video switcher and touch router system
First Claim
1. A gaming system for presenting both game content-based video signals and secondary video signals in a single presentation, the gaming system comprising:
- a touch screen display that displays video signals;
a curved display system including a curved transparent material and a projector for projecting video images onto the curved transparent material;
a gaming controller generating a first video signal including game content to be viewed on the curved display system;
a secondary video source generating a second video signal including secondary content to be viewed on the curved display system;
a touch router device in communication with the touch screen display; and
a display manager configured to scale at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal to a reduced size and renders the first video signal from the gaming controller with the second video signal from the secondary video source;
wherein the touch screen display receives an input that corresponds to coordinates and calculates a coordinate transformation on the coordinates that correspond to a determined source to accommodate any scaling performed on at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal, resulting in transformed coordinates.

Abstract
Gaming machines projecting video images onto a curved display are disclosed herein. A display manager receives one or more video signals from a controller and one or more video signals from the system device and displays one or multiple video signals on the curved display. The display manager sends the multiple video signals to a projector which projects the multiple video signals on the curved display. The curved display may be split between multiple signals, or one or more signals may overlay one or more background signals. The overlaid signals may completely obscure the background signals, or they may provide a level of transparency by allowing the background signal to be partially or completely visible. The display manager the video signals regarding how to split, overlay, superimpose, and otherwise share the display among the video input signals.

14. A gaming system for presenting primary video signals and secondary video signals in a single presentation, the gaming system comprising:
-
a touch screen display that displays video signals; a curved display system including a curved transparent material, a projector for projecting video images onto the curved transparent material, and a lens positioned between the projector and the curved transparent material; a primary video source generating a first video signal to be viewed on the curved display system; a secondary video source generating a second video signal including secondary content to be viewed on the curved display system; a touch router device in communication with the touch screen display; and a display manager configured to scale at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal to a modified size and render the first video signal with the second video signal; wherein the touch screen display receives an input that corresponds to coordinates and calculates a coordinate transformation on the coordinates that correspond to a determined source to accommodate any scaling performed on at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal, resulting in transformed coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A gaming system for presenting both game content-based video signals and secondary video signals in a single presentation, the gaming system comprising:
-
a curved display system including a curved transparent material and a projector for projecting video images onto the curved transparent material; a touch screen system including a touch screen positioned in front of the curved transparent material; a gaming controller generating first video signal to be viewed on the curved display system; a secondary video source generating a second video signal including secondary content to be viewed on the curved display system; and a display manager configured to scale at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal to a reduced size and render the first video signal with the second video signal, wherein the display manager sends the first and second video signals to the projector for simultaneously displaying the first and second video signals on the curved transparent material, and wherein the touch screen display receives an input that corresponds to coordinates and calculates a coordinate transformation on the coordinates that correspond to a determined source to accommodate any scaling performed on at least one of the first video signal or the second video signal. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A gaming system for presenting first video signals and second video signals, comprising:
-
a video display having an associated touch screen interface configured to receive user input at touch coordinates on the touch screen interface; a gaming controller configured to generate game-content related video signals for display on the video display; a secondary video source for generating second video signals; a touch router in communication with the touch screen interface; a display manager in communication with the display, the controller and the secondary video source, the display manager configured to receive the video signals and scale at least one signal to a different size and present the first video second with the second video signal; and wherein the touch screen display receives an input that corresponds to coordinates and calculates a coordinate transformation on the coordinates that correspond to a determined source to accommodate any scaling performed on the video signals.
