Acezone holds 1 granted patent in Esports.
The patent covers a gaming headset technology that combines active noise cancellation with psychoacoustic masking techniques to prevent players from hearing audience communications during competitive matches. This addresses cheating concerns at live Esports tournaments where spectators could otherwise relay strategic information to competitors.
The Esports patent tackles a specific cheating problem at live tournaments where players might hear useful information from the audience despite wearing noise-canceling headsets. Acezone's approach layers a psychoacoustic speech scrambling system on top of active noise cancellation, recognizing that traditional ANC alone leaves attenuated speech intelligible enough for players to extract strategic tips. The headset also trains on game-specific keywords to better identify and mask relevant callouts, detects acoustic leaks that might indicate tampering, and connects to the venue's PA and commentator feeds to anticipate and cancel incoming Audio before it reaches the player's ears.
