Abstract: A method and system for daisy chaining tournament audio controllers, where the method comprises, in a headset coupled to a first audio controller, the first audio controller being in a daisy chain of audio controllers: receiving a chat signal from a second audio controller in the daisy chain of audio controllers, receiving a microphone signal from a microphone in the headset, summing the chat signal with the microphone signal, communicating the summed signal to a third audio controllers in the daisy chain, and communicating the chat signal to the headset. The microphone signal may be removed from the summed chat signal and microphone signal by adding a second microphone signal 180 degrees out of phase with the microphone signal. The chat signal may be summed with the microphone signal at an amplitude set by a user of the headset after the removal of the microphone signal.

Abstract: In the present disclosure, systems and methods are described for video gaming in a controlled environment facility. A video game server allows tenants of a controlled environment facility to play video games that are served and monitored by the video game server. In embodiments, users may initiate a game session to play games in a single player mode, competitive multiplayer or cooperative multiplayer mode depending on the game being played. The video game server maintains block lists for each user such that those users may not initiate or engage in the same game sessions with each other. In game sessions with two or more users, the video game server allows users to communicate via audio or text communications. The video game server may monitor those communications for potential security concerns. Users may also view videos of previously completed or live game sessions, subject to similar security monitoring measures.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling communication between users are described. One of the methods includes receiving, via a computer network, data regarding a plurality of real gestures made by a first user via a first user account. The data regarding the plurality of real gestures is received from a client device. The method further includes determining, from the data, whether a speed of occurrence of the plurality of real gestures is greater than a predetermined speed. After determining that the speed of occurrence of the plurality of real gestures is greater than the predetermined speed, the method includes determining one or more meanings of a combination of the plurality of real gestures. The method includes communicating the one or more meanings of the combination via a virtual avatar, controlled by the first user via the first user account, to a second user.

Abstract: A machine learning (ML) model is used to identify spam messages and spammers in computer game settings based on learned gamer behavior. Message text may also be used. An evaluator module receives the score(s) from the ML model(s) indicating whether a particular message is spam and when the score(s) satisfy a threshold, passes the message to a punishment module to determine whether the warn, suspend, or ban the sending account.
