Description

A method, apparatus, device and storage medium for transmitting virtual objects

Technical Field

This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for transmitting virtual objects.

Background Technology

Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) have long been popular among gamers due to their rich gameplay and captivating storylines. The server-side architecture of an MMORPG typically includes at least one set of services. Each set includes several scene service processes and one world service process. The scene processes handle the gameplay logic within the corresponding map and the data related to the virtual objects within that map. The world processes manage user login and logout, and coordinate the teleportation of virtual objects.

Currently, many gameplay elements supported by MMORPGs involve virtual object teleportation, which refers to moving a virtual object from one map in the game world to another. When the MMORPG server executes a virtual object teleportation task, the scene process of the map where the virtual object originally resides needs to send the virtual object data to the world process. The world process processes the received virtual object data and then sends it to the scene process of the map to which the virtual object is to be transported, thus realizing virtual object teleportation.

However, the virtual object data that needs to be transferred when performing virtual object transfer tasks is usually large. The world process often needs to consume a lot of processing resources to transfer and process the virtual object data. In gameplay that requires the instantaneous transfer of a large number of virtual objects, the world process often cannot support a high virtual object transfer speed (i.e., fewer virtual object transfers are processed per unit time) because it needs to transfer and process a large amount of virtual object data at the same time. The user's perceived virtual object transfer experience is often poor.

Summary of the Invention

This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for transmitting virtual objects, which can support higher virtual object transmission speeds and improve the user's perceived virtual object transmission experience.

In view of this, the first aspect of this application provides a method for transmitting virtual objects, the method being applied to a service process group on a game server, the service process group including a world service process and multiple scene service processes, the method comprising:

The original scene service process is used to split the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object to obtain the first transmission data and the second transmission data; the original scene service process is used to carry the original map where the target virtual object is located before the transmission operation is triggered for the target virtual object.

The first transmitted data is sent to the message queue through the original scene service process, and the second transmitted data is sent to the world service process.

Through the world service process, the third transmission data is determined based on the second transmission data; and a transmission notification message is generated based on the third transmission data.

The world service process sends the transmission notification message to the destination scene service process; the destination scene service process is used to carry the destination map that the target virtual object wants to go to after the transmission operation is triggered for the target virtual object;

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

This application provides a virtual object transmission method. This method utilizes a world service process and a message queue within a service process group to collaboratively complete the virtual object transmission task, thereby reducing the amount of data that the world service process needs to transmit and improving the efficiency of virtual object transmission. Specifically, during the process of the service process group transmitting a target virtual object from the original map to the destination map, the original scene service process, which carries the original map, first splits the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object to obtain first transmission data and second transmission data. The first and second transmission data are then sent to the message queue and the world service process, respectively. Next, the world service process determines third transmission data based on the received second transmission data and generates a transmission notification message based on the third transmission data. This transmission notification message is then sent to the destination scene service process, which carries the destination map. Finally, the destination scene service process retrieves the first transmission data from the message queue based on the transmission notification message and determines the destination virtual object data used by the target virtual object in the destination map based on the first transmission data and the third transmission data in the transmission notification message. The above method innovatively splits the original virtual object data into two parts: one part is data that does not require processing by the world service process (i.e., the first transmission data), and the other part is data that does require processing by the world service process (i.e., the second transmission data). The first transmission data is relayed using a message queue, and the second transmission data is relayed and processed by the world service process. This significantly reduces the processing resources required by the world service process and improves the transmission speed and efficiency of virtual objects. In gameplay that requires instantaneous large-scale transmission of virtual objects, the above method can transmit more virtual objects in the same amount of time, resulting in a better perceived virtual object transmission experience for users.

Detailed Implementation

To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

In related technologies, virtual object transfer tasks are usually completed independently by the world service process. Due to the large amount of data that needs to be transferred in virtual object transfer tasks and the limited processing resources of the world service process, it is often difficult to support high virtual object transfer efficiency. This defect is more obvious in gameplay that requires instantaneous large-scale transfer of virtual objects, and the user's perceived virtual object transfer experience is worse.

To address the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, this application provides a virtual object transmission method, which can effectively improve the transmission efficiency of virtual objects and thus enhance the user's perceived virtual object transmission experience.

Specifically, the virtual object teleportation method provided in this application is applied to a service process group on a game server, which includes a world service process and multiple scene service processes. In this virtual object teleportation method, the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object is first split by the original scene service process to obtain first teleportation data and second teleportation data. The original scene service process carries the original map where the target virtual object was located before the teleportation operation was triggered. Then, the original scene service process sends the first teleportation data and the second teleportation data to the message queue and the world service process, respectively. Next, the world service process determines third teleportation data based on the second teleportation data and generates a teleportation notification message based on the third teleportation data. The world service process sends this teleportation notification message to the destination scene service process, which carries the destination map to which the target virtual object will go after the teleportation operation is triggered. Furthermore, the destination scene service process retrieves the first teleportation data from the message queue based on the teleportation notification message and determines the destination virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object based on the first teleportation data and the third teleportation data.

The virtual object transmission method provided in this application utilizes the world service process and message queue in a service process group to collaboratively complete the virtual object transmission task. Specifically, the method splits the original virtual object data into two parts: one part is data that does not require processing by the world service process (i.e., the first transmission data), and the other part is data that requires processing by the world service process (i.e., the second transmission data). The message queue is used to relay the first transmission data, and the world service process is used to relay and process the second transmission data. Compared with the scheme where the world service process independently relays and processes the original virtual object data, the method provided in this application can significantly reduce the processing resources required by the world service process during virtual object transmission, and improve the transmission speed and efficiency of virtual objects. In gameplay that requires instantaneous large-scale transmission of virtual objects, this method can transmit more virtual objects in the same amount of time, and the time taken to transmit a single virtual object is also greatly shortened, resulting in a better virtual object transmission experience for users. Furthermore, this method can also provide greater flexibility in planning and designing gameplay that involves large-scale transmission of virtual objects.

It should be noted that the virtual object transmission method provided in this application can be applied to the backend server of a game that supports the transmission of virtual objects. This server can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services. The server and the terminal running the game can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, and this application does not impose any limitations on this. The terminal running the game can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smart speaker, smartwatch, in-vehicle terminal, smart TV, etc., but is not limited to these.

In this embodiment of the application, the service process group can be composed of several software service processes deployed on the aforementioned server. Typically, the game server can include multiple service process groups, with different service process groups corresponding to different game modes. For example, assuming that a certain MMORPG game supports game mode A, game mode B, and game mode C, the game server of the MMORPG game can include three service process groups, which correspond to game mode A, game mode B, and game mode C, respectively.

A service process group typically includes one world service process and multiple scene service processes. The world service process manages user login and logout within the corresponding game mode and performs virtual object teleportation tasks for user-controlled virtual objects within that game mode—transferring the virtual object from one map to another within that game mode. The multiple scene service processes within the service process group correspond to various maps within that game mode. Scene service processes carry their respective maps, the gameplay logic within those maps, and the virtual object data for each virtual object within those maps. These are the primary service processes involved in the user's game experience after logging in.

To facilitate understanding of the virtual object transmission method provided in the embodiments of this application, the application scenarios of the virtual object transmission method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described exemplarily below.

Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario for the virtual object transmission method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, this application scenario includes a terminal device 110 and a server 120, and the terminal device 110 and the server 120 can communicate via a network. The terminal device 110 runs a target game application, which supports gameplay based on the transmission of virtual objects. Server 120 is the backend server of the target game application, which is used to execute the virtual object transmission method provided in the embodiments of this application. Server 120 is deployed with service process groups corresponding to various game modes supported by the target game application. Each service process group includes a world service process and several scene service processes. Figure 1 shows an example in which server 120 is deployed with three service process groups and each service process group includes n (n is an integer greater than 1) scene service processes. It should be understood that in actual applications, server 120 may be deployed with more or fewer service process groups. The number of scene service processes included in each service process group may be the same or different. This application does not limit the number of service process groups included in the game server or the number of scene service processes included in the service process groups.

In practical applications, before a user starts playing a game through the target game application running on terminal device 110, they can select the desired game mode through the target game application. Correspondingly, the service process group in server 120 corresponding to that game mode will provide the user with subsequent game services. When a user plays a game in a certain game mode of the target game application through terminal device 110, they can trigger a teleportation operation for the target virtual object they control, that is, control the target virtual object to jump from one map to another in that game mode. For example, assuming the target virtual object currently located on map 1, and the user wants to control the target virtual object to participate in a game activity set on map 2 in that game mode, the user can trigger a teleportation operation for the target virtual object by triggering the operation of registering the target virtual object to participate in the game activity, thereby controlling the target virtual object to jump from map 1 to map 2.

After server 120 detects that a user has triggered a teleportation operation on a target virtual object, it will determine the original scene service process and the destination scene service process in the service process group corresponding to the game mode in which the target virtual object is located. The original scene service process is the scene service process that carries the map where the target virtual object was located before the teleportation operation was triggered, and the destination scene service process is the scene service process that carries the map that the target virtual object will go to after the teleportation operation is triggered. For example, assuming that the teleportation operation triggered on the target virtual object is used to jump the target virtual object from map 1 to map 2, then the scene service process that carries map 1 is the original scene service process, and the scene service process that carries map 2 is the destination scene service process. Then, by using the original scene service process, the world service process, and the destination scene service process in this service process group, the teleportation operation on the target virtual object is completed in a coordinated manner.

Specifically, server 120 can first split the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object through the original scene service process to obtain first transmission data and second transmission data. The original virtual object data refers to the game data used by the target virtual object in the original map carried by the original scene service process, such as virtual asset data, attribute data, virtual equipment data, and game quest data. The first transmission data may include data that does not require any processing by the world service process, and the second transmission data may include data that requires relevant processing by the world service process. Then, through the original scene service process, the first and second transmission data are sent to the message queue and the world service process respectively. The message queue can be set up separately for this service process group, or it can be shared by multiple services on the game server side.

After receiving the second transmission data through the world service process in the service process group, server 120 can determine the third transmission data based on the second transmission data. For example, the world service process can update the data of that type in the second transmission data based on a certain type of standard data it manages, thereby obtaining the third transmission data. Then, the world service process generates a transmission notification message based on the third transmission data, carries the third transmission data in the transmission notification message, and sends the transmission notification message to the destination scenario service process in the service process group.

After receiving the transmission notification message through the destination scene service process in the service process group, server 120 can retrieve the first transmission data previously uploaded by the original scene service process from the message queue according to the transmission notification message. Then, through the destination scene service process, based on the retrieved first transmission data and the third transmission data carried in the transmission notification message, it determines the destination virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object. This destination virtual object data is the game data used by the target virtual object in the destination map carried by the destination scene service process; thus, the transmission operation for the target virtual object is completed, and the target virtual object is transmitted from the original map to the destination map.

It should be understood that the application scenario shown in Figure 1 is merely an example. In practical applications, the virtual object transmission method provided in this application embodiment can also be applied to other scenarios. No limitations are made here regarding the applicable application scenarios of the virtual object transmission method provided in this application embodiment. Furthermore, the virtual object data involved in the virtual object transmission method provided in this application embodiment can be stored on a blockchain.

The virtual object transfer method provided in this application will be described in detail below through method embodiments.

Referring to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating the virtual object transfer method provided in this embodiment, this virtual object transfer method can be applied to any service process group on the game server. The service process group includes one world service process and multiple scene service processes. The original scene service process, world service process, and destination scene service process mentioned below all belong to the same service process group. As shown in Figure 2, the virtual object transfer method includes the following steps:

Step 201: Through the original scene service process, split the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object to obtain the first transmission data and the second transmission data.

When a user plays a game in a certain game mode through a target game application running on a terminal device, they can trigger a teleportation operation on the target virtual object they control, so that the target virtual object jumps from the current map to another map in the same game mode. After the background server of the target game application detects that the user has triggered a teleportation operation on the target virtual object, it correspondingly splits the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object through the original scene service process that carries the map where the target virtual object is currently located, to obtain the first teleportation data and the second teleportation data.

In one possible implementation, a user can trigger a teleportation operation on a target virtual object by triggering an action to participate in a game activity set in another map. For example, suppose the target virtual object controlled by the user is currently in map 1 under game mode A. The target game application pushes a list of game activities to the user, which includes game activities set in map 2 under game mode A. The user can trigger an action to register for the game activity on the target virtual object, and then trigger a teleportation operation on the target virtual object to make the target virtual object jump from map 1 to map 2.

In another possible implementation, the user can directly trigger a teleportation operation for the target virtual object. For example, assuming the target virtual object controlled by the user is currently in map 1 under game mode A, if the user wants to control the target virtual object to jump to other maps under game mode A, they can touch the map jump control on the game interface. In response to the user's touch operation on the map jump control, various maps under game mode A can be displayed accordingly. Then, the user can select the map that the target virtual object wants to go to, such as selecting map 2, thus triggering a teleportation operation for the target virtual object, causing the target virtual object to jump from map 1 to map 2.

It should be understood that the above implementation of triggering a transmission operation for a target virtual object is only an example. In practical applications, other methods can also be used to trigger a transmission operation for a target virtual object. This application does not limit the specific method of triggering a transmission operation for a target virtual object.

It should be noted that the original scene service process is the scene service process that carries the original map where the target virtual object was located before the teleportation operation was triggered for the target virtual object. For example, assuming that the teleportation operation triggered for the target virtual object is used to jump the target virtual object from map 1 to map 2, then the scene service process that carries map 1 is the aforementioned original scene service process. In addition to carrying the original map, the original scene service process can also carry the gameplay logic in the original map (such as the game rules of the game activities in the original map), as well as the virtual object data corresponding to each virtual object in the original scene map. The virtual object data here is the game data that the virtual object uses or relies on when playing the game in the original map, including but not limited to virtual asset data, character attribute data, character equipment data, and character gameplay data (such as quests, dungeons, fishing, guilds, etc.).

After the server detects that the user has triggered a transmission operation for the target virtual object, it will obtain the virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object through the original scene service process, and use it as the original virtual object data; then, it will split the original virtual object data to obtain the first transmission data and the second transmission data.

In one possible implementation, to minimize the amount of data transferred by the world service process during the transmission of virtual characters, the original scene service process can split the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object based on the data types managed by the world service process. That is, if the world service process manages data of the target type, the server can use the original scene service process to transmit the data of the target type from the original virtual object data as the second transmission data, and the data of the non-target type from the original virtual object data as the first transmission data.

For example, suppose the data managed by the world service process is the organizational data corresponding to the virtual object, such as the organization or gang to which the virtual object belongs, the virtual object's level in the organization or gang, and the virtual object's position in the organization or gang. Accordingly, when the original scene service process splits the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object, it can use the organizational data corresponding to the target virtual object in the original virtual object data as the second transmission data that needs to be transferred by the world service process, and use the other data in the original virtual object data other than the organizational data corresponding to the target virtual object as the first transmission data that needs to be transferred by the message queue.

Since the world service process typically manages relatively few data types, the aforementioned data splitting method separates the data belonging to the world service process from the original virtual object data and uses it as secondary transmission data that needs to be relayed by the world service process. This minimizes the amount of data that needs to be relayed by the world service process, reduces the data relay pressure on the world service process, and thus helps to improve the transmission speed of virtual objects.

It should be understood that in practical applications, considering the limited data carrying capacity of message queues, the original scene service process may also appropriately divide the data of data types that do not belong to the world service process management in the original virtual object data into the second transmission data. This application does not impose any restrictions on the way the original scene service process splits the first transmission data and the second transmission data.

Step 202: The first transmission data is sent to the message queue and the second transmission data is sent to the world service process through the original scene service process.

After the server splits the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object into first transmission data and second transmission data through the original scene service process, it can send the first transmission data to the message queue and send the second transmission data to the world service process in the service process group to which the original scene service process belongs.

It should be noted that a message queue can be understood as a database used to cache virtual object data awaiting transfer. The message sending process (i.e., the original scene service process) can send virtual object data to this message queue, and the message receiving process (i.e., the destination scene service process) can retrieve the corresponding virtual object data from this message queue. This message queue can be specifically set up for a particular service process group; that is, scene service processes within a certain service process group can send virtual object data to this message queue when transferring virtual objects, and other scene service processes within the same service process group can retrieve the corresponding virtual object data from this message queue. Alternatively, this message queue can be shared by multiple service process groups on the game server; that is, scene service processes in multiple service process groups can all send virtual object data to this message queue and retrieve the corresponding virtual object data from it. This application does not impose any limitations on the service process group corresponding to this message queue.

It should be noted that the world service process in the service process group is typically responsible for user login and logout in the game mode corresponding to that service process group. This world service process also coordinates the execution of virtual object teleportation tasks. This application does not impose any limitations on the function of the world service process.

When the server sends the first transmission data through the original scene service process, it can first serialize the first transmission data to obtain the first transmission sequence data, and then send the first transmission sequence data to the message queue. Specifically, the server can convert the split first transmission data into data conforming to a pre-set data format, i.e., the first transmission sequence data, and then send the first transmission sequence data to the message queue. In this way, it can ensure that the data sent to the message queue when transmitting virtual objects is standardized and complete, and can effectively avoid data packet loss, thereby helping to ensure the successful completion of the virtual object transmission task.

When the server sends the second transmission data through the original scene service process, it can add the second transmission data to the map leave notification message and send it to the world service process. On the one hand, the map leave notification message informs the world service process that the target virtual object has left the original map. On the other hand, the data that needs to be processed by the world service process is transmitted to the world service process.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the destination scene service process can accurately extract the first transmission data split from the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object from the message queue, when the original scene service process, the world service process, and the destination scene service process jointly execute the virtual object transmission task, the identity identifier of the target virtual object can be used as a sign indicating that there is a corresponding relationship between the transmitted data and the target virtual object. That is, the destination scene service process can accurately extract the first transmission data split from the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object from the message queue based on the identity identifier of the target virtual object.

In practice, the server can send the first transmission data, including the identity identifier of the target virtual object, to the message queue through the original scene service process; that is, the identity identifier of the target virtual object is part of the first transmission data. The server can also send the second transmission data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object to the world service process simultaneously through the original scene service process. For example, the server can add both the second transmission data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object to the map departure notification message, and then send the map departure notification message to the world service process.

It should be understood that in practical applications, the server can also send the first transmitted data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object to the message queue through the original scene service process, and establish the association between the two; the server can also send the identity identifier of the target virtual object as part of the second transmitted data to the world service process. This application does not impose any restrictions on the transmission method of the identity identifier of the target virtual object.

Optionally, after the server sends the first and second transmission data to the message queue and the world service process respectively through the original scene service process, it can further perform a map leave operation on the target virtual object through the original scene service process. The map leave operation may include at least one of the following: deleting the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object, deleting the node corresponding to the target virtual object in the original social network corresponding to the original map, and deleting the association relationship between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and the node corresponding to other virtual objects in the original social network corresponding to the original map.

Specifically, after the server sends the first and second transmission data to the message queue and the world service process respectively through the original scene service process, it can be considered that the original scene service process has completed the work required in the target virtual object transmission task. Then, the server can perform a map leave operation for the target virtual object through the original scene service process to clear the information related to the target virtual object in the original map.

For example, the server can delete the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object managed by the original scene service process, thereby avoiding the management of useless data and wasting data management resources. If the original scene service process is also used to maintain the original social network corresponding to the original map, the server can also delete the node corresponding to the target virtual object in the original social network, as well as the association between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and the nodes corresponding to other virtual objects in the original social network. This clears the trace of the target virtual object in the original map and avoids problems arising from the simultaneous management of the target virtual object by both the original scene service process and the target scene service process.

It should be understood that in practical applications, the server can also perform other map departure operations through the original scene service process. This application does not specifically limit the above map departure operations.

Step 203: Through the world service process, determine the third transmission data based on the second transmission data; and generate a transmission notification message based on the third transmission data.

After receiving the second transmission data sent by the original scene service process through the world service process in the service process group, the server can determine the third transmission data based on the second transmission data, and then generate a transmission notification message to notify the destination scene service process based on the third transmission data.

It should be noted that the reason why the second transmission data needs to be processed through the world service process is that the data types managed by the world service process are usually standard data, while the data types managed by the scene service process may not be standard data. In order to ensure that the subsequent destination scene service process can process the activities of virtual objects based on completely standard virtual object data, the data in the second transmission data can be verified and standardized through the world service process first.

It should be understood that the standard data in the embodiments of this application is data that accurately corresponds to the current state of the virtual object. That is, the standard data will change in real time with the user's control operation on the virtual object, and will also change in real time with the game system's management operation on the virtual object. In contrast, the non-standard data in the embodiments of this application may not accurately correspond to the current state of the virtual object. That is, the non-standard data will not change in real time with the user's control operation on the virtual object, and/or will not change in real time with the game system's management operation on the virtual object. Under normal circumstances, the server needs to perform periodic or irregular calibration processing on the non-standard data.

In one possible implementation, the data of the first target type managed by the world service process is standard data, while the data of the same first target type managed by the scene service process is non-standard data. If the second transmitted data received by the world service process includes data of the first target type from the original virtual object data, the server can extract the data of the first target type from the second transmitted data as first data to be processed through the world service process, and obtain the data of the first target type corresponding to the target virtual object managed by the world service process as first reference standard data. Then, the world service process compares whether the first data to be processed is consistent with the first reference standard data. If they are consistent, the second transmitted data itself is determined to be the third transmitted data. If they are inconsistent, the third transmitted data is composed of the other data in the first reference standard data and the second transmitted data, excluding the first data to be processed.

For example, assuming the affiliation between virtual objects managed by the world service process and various gangs is standard data, while the affiliation between virtual objects managed by the scene service process and various gangs is non-standard data, if the second transmission data sent by the original scene service process includes the affiliation between the target virtual object and various gangs, the server can determine the third transmission data in the following way: The server can use the world service process to first extract the affiliation between the target virtual object and various gangs from the second transmission data as the first data to be processed, and obtain the affiliation between the target virtual object and various gangs managed by the world service process itself as the first reference standard data; if the first data to be processed table If the target virtual object simultaneously belongs to gangs a, b, and c, and the first reference standard data also indicates that the target virtual object simultaneously belongs to gangs a, b, and c, then there is no need to change the second transmission data, and the second transmission data can be directly used as the third transmission data. If the first data to be processed indicates that the target virtual object simultaneously belongs to gangs a, b, and c, while the first reference standard data indicates that the target virtual object belongs to gangs a and b, but not to gang c, then the first reference standard data can be used to replace the first data to be processed in the second transmission data. That is, the third transmission data is composed of the first reference standard data and the other data in the second transmission data except for the first data to be processed.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned first target type is only an example. In actual applications, the first target type can also be other types. This application does not impose any limitation on the first target type.

By performing the above operations, it can be ensured that the virtual object data provided to the target scene service process is standard data. This allows the target scene service process to provide corresponding services to the target virtual object based on the standard data, ensuring that the user can obtain a better gaming experience after the virtual object is transmitted.

After the server obtains the third transmission data through the world service process, it can add the third transmission data to the transmission notification message, that is, carry the third transmission data through the transmission notification message.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, when the original scene service process, the world service process, and the destination scene service process collaborate to execute the virtual object transmission task, the identity identifier of the target virtual object can be used as a marker indicating that there is a corresponding relationship between the transmitted data and the target virtual object. Therefore, when the server generates a transmission notification message through the world service process, it can generate a transmission notification message based on the third transmission data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object received at the same time as the second transmission data, that is, add the third transmission data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object to the transmission notification message.

In some cases, the data of certain data types managed by the World Service Process is not standard data, while the data of these data types managed by the Scene Service Process is standard data. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data managed by the World Service Process, the World Service Process can also use the data of these data types in the second transmission data to verify and standardize the data of these data types managed by itself.

In one possible implementation, the data of the second target type managed by the world service process is non-standard data, while the data of the second target type managed by the scene service process is standard data. If the second transmitted data received by the world service process includes data of the second target type from the original virtual object data, the server can extract the data of the second target type from the second transmitted data through the world service process as second reference standard data, and obtain the data of the second target type corresponding to the target virtual object managed by the world service process itself as second data to be processed. Then, the world service process compares the second data to be processed with the second reference standard data. If they are inconsistent, the second reference standard data is used to replace the data of the second target type corresponding to the target virtual object managed by the world service process.

For example, assuming the virtual object managed by the world service process has a non-standard level in its respective gang, while the virtual object managed by the scene service process has a standard level in its respective gang, and the second transmission data sent by the original scene service process includes the level of the target virtual object in gang a, the server can verify and standardize the level of the target virtual object managed by the world service process in gang a in the following way: the server can extract the level of the target virtual object in gang a from the second transmission data through the world service process as the second reference standard data, and obtain the level of the target virtual object managed by the world service process itself in gang a as the second data to be processed; if the second... If the second set of data to be processed indicates that the target virtual object's level in gang A is level two, and the second reference standard data also indicates that the target virtual object's level in gang A is level two, then the level of the target virtual object currently managed by the world service process in gang A is standard and does not require updating. If the second set of data to be processed indicates that the target virtual object's level in gang A is level two, but the second reference standard data indicates that the target virtual object's level in gang A is level three, then the level of the target virtual object currently managed by the world service process in gang A is non-standard. In this case, the level of the target virtual object managed by the world service process in gang A needs to be updated to level three to achieve data standardization.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned second target type is only an example. In practical applications, the second target type can also be other types. This application does not impose any limitations on the second target type.

Through the above operations, the data of the World Service Process Management can be standardized, making the data more standardized and thus enabling the World Service Process to provide users with more accurate related services, such as providing more accurate item recommendation services.

Step 204: Send the transmission notification message to the destination scene service process through the world service process.

After the server generates a teleportation notification message through the world service process, it can send the teleportation notification message to the destination scene service process. The destination scene service process is the service process used to carry the destination map that the target virtual object will go to after a teleportation operation is triggered for the target virtual object; for example, assuming that the teleportation operation triggered for the target virtual object is used to jump the target virtual object from map 1 to map 2, then the scene service process used to carry map 2 is the aforementioned destination scene service process; the destination scene service process is similar to the original scene service process, that is, in addition to carrying the destination map, the destination scene service process can also carry the gameplay logic in the destination map (such as the game rules of the game activities in the destination map), as well as the virtual object data corresponding to each virtual object in the destination scene map.

Step 205: The first transmission data is obtained from the message queue according to the transmission notification message through the destination scenario service process.

Step 206: Through the target scene service process, determine the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object based on the first transmitted data and the third transmitted data.

After receiving the transmission notification message through the destination scene service process, the server can retrieve the corresponding first transmission data from the message queue based on the transmission notification message. Then, it merges this first transmission data with the third transmission data carried in the transmission notification message to obtain the destination virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object. This destination virtual object data is the game data that the target virtual object relies on or uses when playing the game in the destination map, including but not limited to virtual asset data, character attribute data, character equipment data, and character gameplay data (such as quests, dungeons, fishing, guilds, etc.). Afterward, the user can control the target virtual object to perform game activities in the destination map.

As mentioned above, when the original scene service process, the world service process, and the destination scene service process collaborate to execute the virtual object transmission task, the identity identifier of the target virtual object can be used as a marker indicating that there is a corresponding relationship between the transmitted data and the target virtual object. Therefore, when the transmission notification message sent through the world service process carries the identity identifier of the target virtual object, after the server receives the transmission notification message through the destination scene service process, it can retrieve the first transmission data including the identity identifier of the target virtual object from the message queue based on the identity identifier of the target virtual object carried in the transmission notification message.

That is, if the first transmission data sent by the original scene service process to the message queue includes the identity identifier of the target virtual object, and the transmission notification message sent by the world service process to the destination scene service process also includes the identity identifier of the target virtual object, the server can extract the identity identifier of the target virtual object from the transmission notification message through the destination scene service process, and then search for the first transmission data including the identity identifier of the target virtual object in the message queue and pull the first transmission data.

In this way, it can be ensured that the first transmission data pulled by the target scene service process and the third transmission data in the transmission notification message it receives are both corresponding to the target virtual object. This ensures that the final merged target virtual object data accurately corresponds to the target virtual object, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the target virtual object data. This helps the target scene service process to accurately provide game services to the target virtual object in the future.

Furthermore, if the data sent by the server to the message queue through the original scenario service process is the first transmission sequence data obtained by serializing the first transmission data, then the data pulled by the server from the message queue through the destination scenario service process is also the first transmission sequence data. In this case, the destination scenario service process also needs to perform deserialization processing on the first transmission sequence data, that is, extract data from each field of the first transmission sequence data according to the preset data format (i.e., the data format used when serializing the first transmission data), so as to restore the first transmission data.

Optionally, after the server determines the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object based on the first transmitted data and the third transmitted data through the target scene service process, it can further perform a map arrival operation on the target virtual object through the target scene service process. The map arrival operation may include at least one of the following: saving the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object, establishing a node corresponding to the target virtual object in the target social network corresponding to the destination map, and establishing an association relationship between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and the nodes corresponding to other virtual objects in the target social network corresponding to the destination map.

Specifically, after the server determines the target virtual object data used by the target virtual object in the destination map based on the first and third transmitted data through the destination scene service process, the server can further execute map operations for the target virtual object through the destination scene service process, so that the user can normally control the target virtual object to perform various game operations in the destination map.

For example, the server can store the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object through the target scene service process, thereby providing data support for the target scene service process to support users in normally manipulating the target virtual object in the destination map. If the target scene service process is also used to maintain the target social network corresponding to the destination map, the server can also establish a node corresponding to the target virtual object in the target social network corresponding to the destination map through the target scene service process. Furthermore, based on the social operations generated by the target virtual object in the destination map (such as chatting, adding friends, jointly performing game tasks, etc.), the server can establish associations between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and the nodes corresponding to other virtual objects in the target social network, thereby enabling the target scene service process to normally manage the transmitted target virtual object in the destination map.

It should be understood that in practical applications, the server can also perform other map arrival operations through the destination scenario service process. This application does not specifically limit the above map arrival operations.

Optionally, after the server determines the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object based on the first and third transmission data through the target scene service process, it can also generate a transmission completion notification message through the target scene service process and send the transmission completion notification message to the world service process; then, the server can update the map where the target virtual object is currently located through the world service process.

Specifically, after the server obtains the target virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object by integrating the first and third transmission data through the target scene service process, it can generate a transmission completion notification message carrying the identity identifier of the target virtual object and send the transmission completion notification message to the world service process. After receiving the transmission completion notification message sent by the target scene service process, the world service process can know that the transmission operation for the target virtual object has been completed, and then update the map where the target virtual object is currently located accordingly; for example, assuming that the transmission operation triggered for the target virtual object is used to jump the target virtual object from map 1 to map 2, after the world service process receives the transmission completion notification message from the scene service process that carries map 2, it can update the map where the target virtual object is currently located to map 2 accordingly.

This ensures the integrity of virtual object transmission tasks, facilitates better management and recording of the actual location of each virtual object on the map in the global service process, and is beneficial to the overall maintenance of the software system.

The virtual object transmission method provided in this application utilizes the world service process and message queue in a service process group to collaboratively complete the virtual object transmission task. Specifically, the method splits the original virtual object data into two parts: one part is data that does not require processing by the world service process (i.e., the first transmission data), and the other part is data that requires processing by the world service process (i.e., the second transmission data). The message queue is used to relay the first transmission data, and the world service process is used to relay and process the second transmission data. Compared with the scheme where the world service process independently relays and processes the original virtual object data, the method provided in this application can significantly reduce the processing resources required by the world service process during virtual object transmission, and improve the transmission speed and efficiency of virtual objects. In gameplay that requires instantaneous large-scale transmission of virtual objects, this method can transmit more virtual objects in the same amount of time, and the time taken to transmit a single virtual object is also greatly shortened, resulting in a better virtual object transmission experience for users. Furthermore, this method can also provide greater flexibility in planning and designing gameplay that involves large-scale transmission of virtual objects.

To facilitate a further understanding of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, the virtual object transmission method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in its entirety below with reference to the flowchart shown in Figure 3.

Suppose that the target virtual object controlled by the user is currently playing a game on the map hosted by the scene1 process. The target game application can push a list of game activities to the user as shown in Figure 4. The user can choose to participate in any of the game activities according to their own preferences. For example, suppose the user chooses to register for the game activity "Sky and Earth League" for the target virtual object controlled by them. This game activity is set on the map hosted by the scene2 process. At this time, a virtual object teleportation task needs to be performed for the target virtual object.

When performing a virtual object transfer task for a target virtual object, the scene1 process can split the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object it carries into first transfer data and second transfer data. For example, the scene1 process can use data of data types managed by the world process in the original virtual object data as second transfer data, such as team data, friend data, guild data, etc., and use other data of data types in the original virtual object data that do not belong to the world process as first transfer data, such as virtual asset data, character attribute data, character equipment data, and various gameplay data (such as quests, dungeons, fishing, guilds, etc.).

Furthermore, the scene1 process can serialize the first transmitted data, including the identity identifier of the target virtual object, to obtain the first transmitted sequence data, and send this first transmitted sequence data to the message queue. The scene1 process can add the second transmitted data and the identity identifier of the target virtual object to the map leave notification message, and then send the map leave notification message to the world process. Compared with the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object, the amount of the second transmitted data is very small, thus greatly reducing the data transmission overhead. At the same time, the scene1 process can also perform map leave operations for the target virtual object, such as deleting the original virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object, deleting the node corresponding to the target virtual object in the original social network corresponding to the original map, and deleting the association between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and the nodes corresponding to other virtual objects in the original social network corresponding to the original map.

After receiving the map departure notification message from the scene1 process, the world process can extract data of the first target type (i.e., data of the first target type managed by the scene1 process) from the second transmission data carried in the map departure notification message. This data includes information such as the target virtual object's affiliation with a gang. The world process then compares the extracted data of the first target type with its own managed data of the first target type, and determines the third transmission data based on the comparison result. For example, if they match, the second transmission data is directly determined as the third transmission data; if they do not match, the world process replaces the data of the first target type in the second transmission data with its own managed data of the first target type to obtain the third transmission data. Furthermore, the world process can also extract data of the second target type (i.e., data of the second target type managed by the scene1 process) from the second transmission data, such as the target virtual object's level and position in a gang. This extracted data is then compared with its own managed data of the second target type. If they do not match, the world process replaces its managed data with the extracted data of the second target type. Finally, the world process can add the aforementioned third transmission data and the target virtual object's identity identifier to the transmission notification message and send the transmission notification message to the scene2 process.

After receiving a transmission notification message from the world process, the scene2 process can extract first transmission sequence data, including the target virtual object's identity, from the message queue based on the target virtual object's identity identifier in the transmission notification message. This first transmission sequence data is then deserialized to reconstruct the first transmission data. Next, the first transmission data is fused with the third transmission data carried in the transmission notification message to obtain the destination virtual object data corresponding to the target virtual object. This destination virtual object data provides data support for the target virtual object's activities within the map hosted by the scene2 process. Furthermore, the scene2 process can perform map arrival operations for the target virtual object, such as saving the destination virtual object data, establishing a node corresponding to the target virtual object in the destination social network corresponding to the destination map, and establishing associations between the node corresponding to the target virtual object and nodes corresponding to other virtual objects in the destination social network corresponding to the destination map.

Afterward, the scene2 process can send a teleportation completion notification message to the world process. Upon receiving this notification message, the world process can update the map where the target virtual object is currently located, thus confirming the completion of the teleportation operation for the target virtual object.

In response to the virtual object transmission method described above, this application also provides a corresponding virtual object transmission device so that the above virtual object transmission method can be applied and implemented in practice.
