technical field

The present application relates to the field of Internet technologies, and in particular, the present application relates to a cloud game archiving method, apparatus and electronic device.

Background technique

Cloud gaming is a new way of running games based on cloud computing. In the cloud game mode, the rendering of the game screen is completed on the server side, and the rendered game screen is encoded and streamed to the game player's terminal via the network. On the client side, gamers no longer need high-end game equipment, but only need basic video decoding capabilities to play games. This allows gamers to experience large-scale games without relying on high-configured terminals.

In order to better illustrate the solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following first introduces and explains related technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure:

In this application, a cloud game instance can be understood as a game client installed in the cloud, which will generate corresponding audio and video information after it is started. Specifically, a cloud game instance can be obtained by cloudizing the corresponding local game .

Game service component (Game Service, GS) is a component used to control game instances and provide cloud game services for the client, and GS also runs on the cloud game server.

Specifically, the local game is directly installed and run on the user terminal. After the user starts the game, the user terminal can directly obtain the audio and video information generated by the running of the local game. In order for the user to obtain the audio and video information generated by running the cloud game instance through the user terminal, the GS needs to forward the audio and video information generated by the corresponding cloud game instance to the user terminal. Specifically, the GS actively captures the audio and video information generated by the corresponding cloud game instance, encodes the captured audio and video information according to the preset encoding method, and then forwards it to the user terminal. After the user terminal receives the audio and video information, it plays and receives it synchronously. to the audio and video information.

The cloud game archiving method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium provided by the present application aim to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present application provides a cloud game archiving method, which can be applied to a cloud game server. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes:

In step S101, an archive request is obtained, and a game progress identifier is generated based on the archive request.

The game progress identifier is a unique identifier correspondingly generated by the cloud game server in response to each save request.

The manner of obtaining the archive request may include any of the following:

(1) The cloud game server receives the archive request sent by the requester; wherein, the requester may include the user terminal or the cloud game terminal where the game instance is located;

(2) The cloud game server generates archive requests at preset intervals;

(3) The cloud game server detects that the current game progress of any game instance meets the preset progress, and generates an archive request; for example, when a certain progress task of the cloud game is completed, it is automatically saved when it reaches a certain game archive node;

(4) The cloud game server does not detect the interaction information of the user terminal with respect to the game instance within the preset time period, and generates an archive request; for example, the cloud game automatically hangs up the scene.

Step S102, determining a corresponding target game instance based on the save request, and sending a save instruction to the target game instance.

The target game instance refers to the current game instance determined according to the archive request in at least one existing game instance.

The archive request may carry game instance matching conditions, and the corresponding target game instance is determined according to the game instance matching conditions.

The game instance matching condition includes at least one of a user account, a game instance identifier, and a GS identifier.

Specifically, the determination of the corresponding target game instance based on the archive request in step S102 may include:

(1) Obtain the game instance matching conditions carried in the archive request;

(2) Determine the target game instance based on the game instance matching condition.

Step S103, receiving the current save information returned by the target game instance based on the save instruction.

Specifically, the target game instance generates corresponding current archive information according to the archive content, and sends the generated archive information to the cloud game server.

Among them, the archive content is the final basis for each game instance to complete the progress loading, and each game has its own way of saving the progress as the archive content, and the methods are different. After receiving the archive instruction, the target game instance will save the respective archive content (ie game progress), and generate corresponding archive information according to the archive content. The target game instance implements this process individually for each game, but the format of the save information is consistent.

Among them, the archive information is the basis for allowing the game instance to correctly retrieve and load the archive content corresponding to the archive information.

In some embodiments, the save information may include at least one of: save generation time, save creator information, current game screen snapshot, save content hash value, save type, and game save loading information.

Wherein, the archive generation moment may be the game moment corresponding to the generation of the archive; the creator information may include the creator's cloud game account ID, creator's nickname (that is, if the player connected to the target game instance is preset on the cloud game server, the corresponding user A player's nickname saved by the account), the game instance identifier used by the creator at the time of creation and the GS identifier; the game save loading information can include the interface commands for game loading and saving, save type, save path, other parameter tables, etc. .

In the specific implementation process, after the target game instance determines the archive information, the archive information is sent to the cloud game server through the progress saving interface (which conforms to the standard interface of the cloud game server).

Step S104: Obtain a first progress table corresponding to the target game instance, and store the archive information and the corresponding game progress identifier in the first progress table.

The first progress table is stored in the cloud, which may be in the memory of the cloud game server where the target game instance is located, or in the memory of the game account server corresponding to the target game instance.

Specifically, the acquisition of the first progress table corresponding to the target game instance in step S104 may include:

(1) Determine the game logo corresponding to the target game instance;

(2) Query the first progress table corresponding to the game logo;

(3) If the first progress table is not queried, create a first progress table corresponding to the game logo.

Specifically, a unique first progress table is set for each game identifier, that is, multiple game instances belonging to the same game (with the same game identifier) correspond to the same first progress table.

That is to say, the game identifier corresponding to the target game instance is determined first, and then the first progress table corresponding to the game identifier is determined.

It can be understood that in this embodiment, the archive information and the corresponding game progress indicator are stored in the form of a progress table. The archive information and the corresponding game progress identifier are stored in the form of a data set, which is not specifically limited here.

In the above embodiment, when the archive request is obtained, a game progress identifier is generated, and the target game instance that needs to be archived is determined, the archive information sent by the target game instance is accepted, and the archive information and the game progress identifier are stored in the first progress of the cloud. In the table, the requesting end can use the game progress in the first progress table in the cloud to read and select the corresponding game progress identifier at any time, and restart the game.

The storage form of the archive information and the game progress identifier in the first progress table will be further described below with reference to the embodiment.

A possible implementation manner is provided in the embodiment of the present application. Step S104 stores the archive information and the corresponding game progress identifier in the first progress table, which may include:

(1) Associate the archive information with the game progress identifier to generate a progress information item;

(2) Store the generated progress information item in the first progress table.

Specifically, a plurality of progress information items may be stored in the first progress table, and each progress information item includes a game progress identifier and corresponding archive information.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in an example, the first progress table may be as shown in FIG. 2 , including multiple progress information items, each progress information item may include a game progress identifier, a save generation time, save creator information, current A snapshot of the game screen (shown as a picture in the figure).

In order to better understand the cloud game archiving method of the present application, the following will be further described with reference to specific examples.

As shown in FIG. 3, in an example, the cloud game archiving method of the present application may include the following steps:

1) Information transmission between the target game instance (ie the game instance 1 shown in the figure) and the requester (ie the player 1 shown in the figure) (ie the cloud game control, picture and sound transmission shown in the figure) ;

2) Player 1 sends an archive request to the cloud game server (that is, the cloud game system shown in the figure), and the cloud game server generates a game progress ID, that is, the progress ID shown in the figure;

3) The cloud game server sends an archive command to the game instance 1 through the progress saving interface;

4) Game instance 1 generates corresponding archive information based on the archive content (ie game progress data such as levels, scenes, character states, etc.);

5) The game instance 1 returns the archive information to the cloud game system, and the cloud game system records the archive information (that is, the game progress identifier and the corresponding archive information are stored in the corresponding progress table 1), and a progress table 1 is provided with a corresponding game ID (ie game ID).

The specific process of reading files based on the above-mentioned archiving method will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

A possible implementation is provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4 , the cloud game archiving method may further include:

Step S105, obtaining the file reading request sent by the requesting end; the file reading request carries the first schedule matching condition and the archive information matching condition;

Step S106, determining the corresponding first schedule based on the first schedule matching condition;

Step S107, filtering out the target save information and the corresponding target game progress identifier from the determined first progress table based on the save information matching condition;

In step S108, the filtered target archive information and the target game progress identifier are sent to the requester.

The first schedule matching condition may include at least one of a schedule identifier, a game identifier, a schedule creation time, and the like.

The save information matching conditions may include at least one of one or a group of game progress identifiers, a save time range (ie, the corresponding start time and end time), one or a group of conditions such as creators, and other save information.

Specifically, in step S108, sending the screened target archive information and target game progress identifier to the requesting end may include:

(1) Generate a new progress information item based on the screened target archive information and target game progress identifier;

(2) determining the game logo corresponding to the first progress table;

(3) generating a second progress table based on the determined game identifier and the generated new progress information item;

(4) Send the second schedule to the requester.

In the specific implementation process, part of the progress information items can be screened out from the first progress table, and part of the archive information (that is, the target archive information) can be extracted from the respective archive information of the selected progress information items, and the corresponding game The progress identifiers (that is, the target game progress identifiers) together form a new progress information item; some progress information items may also be screened out from the first progress table, and each screened out progress information item may be used as a new progress information item.

Among them, part of the archive information includes the archive time (the game timestamp corresponding to when the archive is generated), the creator, the snapshot of the game screen, and the like.

In a specific implementation process, the requesting end may also share the second progress table with at least one other user terminal, so that the other user terminal can select any progress information item in the second progress table to load the corresponding game progress.

In order to better understand the file reading method of the cloud game archived in the present application, the following will be further described with reference to specific examples.

As shown in Figure 5, in an example, the cloud game file reading method in this application may include the following steps:

1) Obtain the first progress table (that is, the obtaining progress table shown in the figure), and the first progress table is provided with a corresponding game ID;

2) Generate a new progress information item (that is, the partial archive information and the corresponding progress ID shown in the figure) based on the screened target archive information and the target game progress identifier;

3) based on the obtained partial archive information, the corresponding progress ID and the game ID, generate a second progress table (that is, the progress table 2 shown in the figure);

4) The requester can select any progress ID from the second progress table (ie, the player n shown in the figure selects the progress IDn from the progress table 2).

The above embodiments describe the method for reading files after the cloud game is archived. The following will further describe the method for reading files and loading cloud games with reference to specific embodiments.

A possible implementation is provided in the embodiment of this application, and the cloud game archiving method may further include:

(1) Receive the target game progress ID and game ID sent by the requester;

(3) Based on the target game progress identifier, determine the target archive information corresponding to the target game progress identifier from the first progress table obtained by the query;

(4) Scheduling to obtain the target game instance;

(5) sending a loading instruction to the target game instance; the loading instruction includes target archive information, so that the target game instance loads the corresponding target archive content based on the target archive information;

(6) Return the information of the target game instance to the requesting end, where the information of the target game instance at least includes the identifier of the target game instance.

The target game progress identifier may be a game progress identifier selected by the requester from multiple game progress identifiers.

Specifically, each first progress table is set with a unique game identifier, and the corresponding first progress table can be queried according to the game identifier.

In the specific implementation process, the requesting end may select the target game progress identifier from the received second progress table, that is, select any game progress identifier in the second progress table.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned process of loading the game progress can be associated with the second progress table generated during the file reading process, but it does not necessarily depend on the above-mentioned file reading process, and the requester can also select other target game progress. The way of identification, for example, can be shared and viewed through existing methods such as manual labor, and then even the target game progress identification selected or input by the player can be received, and then the above-mentioned process of loading the game can be performed.

In order to better understand the game loading method after the cloud game is archived in the present application, the following will be further described with reference to specific examples.

As shown in Figure 6, in an example, the cloud game loading method in this application may include the following steps:

1) The requester selects the target game progress identifier in the second progress table (that is, the player n shown in the figure specifies the game loading progress, including the game ID and the progress IDn);

2) The cloud game server (that is, the cloud game system shown in the figure) queries the corresponding first progress table according to the game identifier;

3) The cloud game server schedules the target game instance (that is, the game instance n shown in the figure), and determines the target archive information corresponding to the target game progress identifier from the first progress table obtained by the query (that is, the archive shown in the figure). information n);
