CA 2375701

A method and device implementing a downloadable operatively connected to a plurality of gaming machines either by a direct communications link or through the use of one or more site controllers or PCs. Each gaming machine and site controller or PC contains two executable spaces, one of which typically contains the software image currently being implemented by the device. The other executable space is designated to receive from the central system a new software image that will be utilized by the device. The central system transfers a new image to be executed, via packet encrypted communications, to a networked device which stores the image in an executable space, while continuing to run the currently designated image. Upon instruction from the central system, the device switches over to the new image, allowing one or more machines to implement a software upgrade on a continuous basis.

L'invention concerne un procédé et dispositif de mise en oeuvre d'un système de livraison de logiciel téléchargeable connecté à une pluralité de machines de jeu par liaison directe ou par le biais d'un ou plusieurs contrôleurs de site ou PC. Chaque machine de jeu et chaque contrôleur de site ou PC comprend deux espaces exécutables, dont un contient normalement l'image logicielle réalisée couramment par le dispositif et dont l'autre est destiné à recevoir en provenance du système central une nouvelle image logicielle qui sera utilisée par le dispositif. Le système central transfère une nouvelle image à exécuter, via une communication cryptée par paquet, vers un dispositif mis en réseau stockant l'image dans un espace exécutable tout en continuant à faire tourner l'image courante. Après instruction du système central, le dispositif passe à la nouvelle image permettant ainsi à une ou plusieurs machines de réaliser une mise à niveau en continu d'un logiciel.
