NetEase has 2 granted patents spanning 2 categories: Platforms (1) and UI/UX (1).
The Platforms patent covers a real-time translation system that automatically converts foreign games, particularly Unity-based titles, into Chinese by injecting translation logic into game code at runtime via simulator. On the UI/UX front, the patent addresses multiplayer gaming communication by allowing players to selectively adjust the visibility and display parameters of map markers placed by teammates, enhancing tactical coordination in team-based scenarios.
The Platforms patent tackles game localization through a runtime injection approach. Rather than translating games through traditional post-release localization or static file replacement, NetEase's system intercepts and translates UI text dynamically by modifying code execution flow within a simulator environment. This allows players to experience games in Chinese even when developers never officially supported the language.
On the UI/UX side, 1 patent refines how teammates communicate through map markers in multiplayer games. The system lets players individually adjust display parameters like size, opacity, and color for specific teammate markers rather than showing all markers uniformly. This gives players control over visual clutter while keeping important tactical information visible during team-based gameplay.
