Assignment template and assignment bundle in a gaming configuration and download system
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method to create and monitor the execution of a non-gaming device specific assignment template for a job to be executed at a later time by a casino device download and configuration system, the method comprising:
- generating, by a download and configuration system processor, a list of executable jobs that, when executed, modify content stored on a gamingdevice, the list of executable jobs including at least one of;
a download job to transfer content to the gaming machine and a configuration job to configure the gaming machine;
causing the display of the generated list of executable jobs at a user video display;
receiving on an input device communicably coupled to the download and configuration system processor, a user input selection of an executable job from the displayed list of executable jobs for inclusion in a non-gaming device specific assignment template;
generating at said user display a list of proposed assignment conditions associated with the selected executable job included in the assignment template;
receiving, via the input device, a user input indicative of user-selected assignment conditions associated with the selected executable job;
generating at said user display a list of proposed modifications based at least in part on the selected executable job and the selected assignment conditions associated with the selected executable job included in the assignment template; and
saving to a processor-readable, non-transitory storage medium communicably coupled to the download and configuration system processor, data representative of the non-gaming device specific assignment template for later execution by a casino download and configuration system that modifies content on a number of user-identified devices according to a schedule.

Abstract
A slot management system including a download and configuration server-based sub-system and method is disclosed for use with non-gaming devices to enable users to monitor, control, and modify game devices and other related activities. An assignment-creator/modifier is provided for creating and modifying assignment templates for assignments that include at least one job to modify a non-gaming device. A user graphical interface is provided to control and monitor execution of the download and configuration and to present a graphical image at least indicative of the temporal periods for execution of a download executable assignment.

6. A system to create and monitor a non-gaming device specific assignment template for execution by a casino download and configuration system, comprising:
-
at least one download and configuration system processor; at least one computer-readable storage medium communicably coupled to the at least one download and configuration system processor; a user video display; assignment-creator software module that is stored in the computer-readable storage medium and that is configured, when executed by the at least one download and configuration system processor, to; generate a list of executable jobs that modify content stored on a non-gaming device, the list of executable jobs including at least one of;
a download job to transfer configuration data to the device and a configuration job to configure the device according to said configuration data;control the user video display to display a graphical user interface that includes at least the generated list of executable jobs; receive at least one graphical user interface input to select at least one executable job from the displayed list of executable jobs for inclusion in a specific assignment template; generate at said graphical user interface a list of proposed assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the selected at least one executable job included in the device specific assignment template; receive at said graphical user interface input indicative of a selection of the assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the user-selected at least one executable job; generate at said graphical user interface a list of proposed modifications based at least in part on the user-selected at least one executable job and the user-selected assignment conditions associated with respective ones of the user-selected at least one executable job and included in said specific assignment template; and save said specific assignment template for later execution by a download and configuration system that modifies content on a number of user-identified devices according to a schedule. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
