Online contest reward system for group participation
A computer-implemented method for processing information in an online contest setting has been detailed in a filed patent (Publication Number: US20240029511A1). The method involves providing prompts for users to enter targets and values, joining groups with other users, receiving benefits based on conditions met, and comparing contest results to provide rewards in real-time. The benefits are calculated based on the user's contribution and proficiency level in the contest, with individual and group components factored in. The method also includes standardized user interfaces for group interactions and displaying contest results and benefits to users simultaneously.
Furthermore, the method extends to processing information between multiple terminals via a remote server, involving betting information, team recruitment, and confirmation processes.

The benefits are determined based on a combination of monetary and nonmonetary components of the bets, with hit or no-hit conditions affecting the benefit grade. The method also includes screens for displaying betting information, team play details, benefit assignments, and timelines, enhancing user engagement and interaction in the online contest environment.
