Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the following embodiments, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The control method of the cloud game in one embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed in a terminal device or a server (may also be referred to as a cloud server). The terminal device may be a local terminal device. When the control method of the cloud game is operated on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system comprises the server and a client device (also referred to as a terminal or a terminal device).

In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications may be run under the cloud interaction system, for example: and (5) cloud games. Taking a cloud game as an example, a cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of the cloud game, the running main body of the game program and the game picture presenting main body are separated, the storage and the running of the control method of the cloud game are finished on a cloud game server, and the client equipment is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the client equipment can be display equipment with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; however, the terminal device performing the information processing is a cloud game server in the cloud. When a game is played, a player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, data such as game pictures and the like are encoded and compressed, the data are returned to the client device through a network, and finally the data are decoded through the client device and the game pictures are output.

In an alternative embodiment, the terminal device may be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used for presenting a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, namely, a game program is downloaded and installed and operated through an electronic device conventionally. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including a game screen and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

In a possible implementation manner, referring to the cloud game principle diagram shown in fig. 1, the cloud server is in communication connection with the terminals through a network, and each terminal can acquire playing information of live or recorded game of other terminals from the cloud server. The cloud game is a remote technology application based on cloud computing, the storage, the computing and the rendering of contents are transferred to a cloud end (namely a cloud server), real-time game pictures are streamed to a terminal to be displayed, and finally the game pictures are displayed to the eyes of a user. It can be simply understood that the real-time data of all players are calculated at the cloud end and then returned to the respective terminals for display. Therefore, the current data of all the players can be synchronized in real time during cloud processing. For the player, the state of other players can be displayed on the terminal device of the player in real time, and even the operation process of the other players on the game can be acquired in real time.

However, when a user plays a cloud game, the user usually watches the playing process of the anchor by live broadcasting, and still plays the game alone when playing the game, especially when playing a stand-alone cloud game, the user is easy to have a sense of loneliness, and the distance between the content of the game picture of the anchor and the game picture of the player is too long for the player to conveniently and quickly refer to the playing method of the anchor. Based on this, the embodiment of the invention provides a control method and device for a stand-alone cloud game and an electronic device, which can add a virtual character of another player on the basis of an original game picture through superposition processing of video streams, thereby increasing the accompanying feeling of the game and the effectiveness of skill reference learning, and improving the learning efficiency of game skills.

The embodiment of the invention provides a cloud game control method, which is applied to a cloud server, wherein the cloud server is used for running a cloud game for a first terminal and a second terminal respectively, and game picture video streams of the cloud game are sent to the first terminal and the second terminal respectively, wherein the game picture video streams corresponding to the first terminal and the second terminal respectively comprise a first virtual role and a second virtual role, and the first virtual role and the second virtual role respectively execute cloud game logic according to control instructions sent by the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal can be a game master or a game recording and playing terminal, the second terminal can be a game player terminal, the cloud server can be communicated with the first terminal and the second terminal through a game client, for example, a webpage in a PC, and then a cloud game is run for the first terminal and the second terminal through the game client. Referring to fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

step S202: receiving a game accompany request initiated by a second terminal, and determining a game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal according to the game accompany request;

in this embodiment, the game accompany request initiated by the second terminal may have the following two cases:

in the first case: and the user of the second terminal initiates a game accompany request when watching the live or recorded game video picture corresponding to the first terminal. In this case, an accompanying control may be provided on the graphical user interface for playing the live or recorded game video, and the user of the second terminal may initiate a game accompanying request to the cloud server by clicking the accompanying control.

In the second case: a companion link is provided at a game interface where a user plays a game for initiating a game companion request. In this case, in the process of playing a game by a user, an accompanying link display area is provided in a graphical user interface presenting a game picture video stream, the display area includes a broadcast link for accompanying anchor and/or recorded broadcast, and when the link is clicked, a game accompanying request is initiated to the cloud server, where the request may carry link address information, so that the cloud server may automatically determine the game picture video stream corresponding to the anchor or recorded broadcast first terminal.

In both cases, a game accompanying request may be initiated, where the game accompanying request may carry accompanying object information for reference by the cloud server, where the accompanying object information may be identification information (e.g., a user name corresponding to the game, a role name in the game, and the like) of live game or recorded game corresponding to the first terminal in the first case, or may be a link address of live game or recorded game corresponding to the first terminal in the second case.

Step S204: overlapping the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal with the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal;

the game screen video stream corresponding to the first terminal in this embodiment may be a video stream corresponding to a game screen corresponding to the first terminal when the cloud game is operated by the first terminal.

The superimposition processing may be to superimpose the content related to the first virtual character in the game screen video stream corresponding to the first terminal on the game screen video stream corresponding to the second terminal. Since the game screen video streams of the first terminal and the second terminal are video streams of the same game, in order to reduce data transmission and avoid interference with the game screen video stream corresponding to the second terminal, the embodiment preferably superimposes the content related to the first virtual character, which may be the content except for the scene in the game screen video stream corresponding to the first terminal.

Step S206: displaying the game picture video stream after the superposition processing on the second terminal; and displaying the first virtual character in the game picture video stream after the superposition processing according to preset parameters.

The preset parameter can be a parameter capable of highlighting the aspect of the second virtual character, so that the first virtual character serving as an accompanying person can be displayed relatively weakly to highlight the virtual character of the player per se, and a primary and secondary display effect is achieved. The highlighting of the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal specifically means that the content of the game picture of the second terminal can be obviously distinguished in the game picture of the second terminal on which the first virtual character is superimposed, so that the game picture information of the second terminal is retained, and the first virtual character and the information related to the first virtual character are superimposed in the game picture of the second terminal in an auxiliary picture manner.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal is determined according to the game accompany request initiated by the second terminal, the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal is overlapped with the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal, and the overlapped game picture video stream is displayed on the second terminal; and displaying the first virtual character in the game picture video stream after the superposition processing according to preset parameters. Through the superposition mode, the virtual character of the first terminal of the same game can be displayed on the game picture of the second terminal, the single picture of the game picture corresponding to the second terminal originally is enriched, the loneliness of the cloud game user is relieved, meanwhile, the first virtual character of the superposed first terminal realizes the game learning process under the guidance of the other player character, and the game skill of the user is effectively improved.

In some possible embodiments, the preset parameter includes at least one of: a transparency parameter, a character distinguishing identification parameter, a character outline graphic parameter, and a penetrable attribute parameter. It is understood that the preset parameter may adopt one of the above parameters, and may also adopt any combination of the above parameters, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited by contrast.

The transparency parameter may be the transparency of the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal, or may be the transparency parameter of the first virtual character, and by setting the transparency parameter, the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal may be highlighted, and the first virtual character may be weakly highlighted. For example, assuming that the greater the transparency, the clearer the background picture can be seen through the picture itself, the transparency of the first virtual character may be set to 50%, and the game scene in the game picture of the second terminal underlying the first virtual character or the second virtual character will not be obstructed by the first virtual character.

The role differentiation identification parameter is used to identify the first virtual role and the second virtual role, and the role differentiation identification parameter may be only one, for example, the role differentiation identification parameter is added only to the first virtual role, for example: displaying an identifier such as 'chaperone' or 'auxiliary character' on the first virtual character; the character distinguishing identification parameter may be added to the second virtual character only, for example, the name of the "master character" or the second virtual character is displayed on the second virtual character. Of course, the character distinguishing identification parameter may be two, and a distinguishing identification may be added to the first virtual character, for example, a symbol "B" may be added, and another distinguishing identification may be added to the second virtual character, for example, an "a" may be added, so that the player of the second terminal may visually distinguish different objects.

The character outline graphic parameter can be an outline graphic of a character, the first virtual character can be presented in an outline graphic mode, and the outline graphic can be understood as a line drawing so as to reduce the occlusion of the first virtual character on a game picture of the second terminal.

The penetrable attribute can be set on the first virtual character, and the penetrable attribute can be understood as that all operations acting on the current picture are operations acting on the second virtual character, even if the operations act on the display area of the first virtual character and cannot be intercepted by the first virtual character, the actions of the first virtual character are only carried out based on the actions in the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal, and are not controlled by the operations of the user of the second terminal on the graphical user interface, so that the interference of the first virtual character on the second virtual character is reduced, and the operations of the user of the second terminal on the graphical user interface are effectively identified.

In some embodiments, the above parameters may be combined with each other to further distinguish the game screen video streams corresponding to the first virtual character and the second terminal, for example, the transparency of the first virtual character may be set to 60%, and at the same time, a distinguishing identifier "B" may be added to the first virtual character, so that the object is distinguished without affecting the operation of the second terminal user and viewing the screen information of the own game screen.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic view of a cloud game application scene is shown, where a user a switches from watching a live game screen video stream to a game screen, the user a logs in a cloud game live broadcast platform, selects a game of a user B to watch live broadcast, a cloud server provides the game screen video stream of the user B to the user a, and the game screen video stream of the user B is played on a graphical user interface of the user a User information of user B and live game information viewed. Therefore, the cloud server determines game picture video stream information corresponding to the user B according to the game accompany request, and switches the user A to the game interface of the game according to login information of the user A logging in the cloud game live broadcast platform, which is shown in a graphical user interface schematic diagram on the right side in fig. 3. Of course, if the user a is a live game platform logged in by the identity of the visitor, the user a may be switched to a login interface of the game, and the user a may be guided to input login information thereof, and then switched to a game screen for playing the game.

In other possible embodiments, the cloud server may further present, to the player, anchor information that can be viewed, and the player may directly issue a game accompany request based on the anchor that is viewed, based on which the method further includes the following steps:

(1) providing a play selection list of the cloud game to the second terminal; wherein, the content in the playing selection list is live broadcast link information or recorded broadcast link information;

the content in the play selection list may include a link corresponding to live cloud game, and may also include a link corresponding to live cloud game and a link corresponding to recorded and played cloud game that has already been live broadcast.

(2) Receiving a play request initiated by a second terminal aiming at the play selection list, and determining the request content of the play request as the link information corresponding to the first terminal;

the user can select the link information corresponding to any terminal in the play selection list, a play request is sent, the play request can include the game identification information corresponding to the terminal, and the cloud server determines to send the game picture video stream corresponding to the terminal to the user based on the game identification information of the terminal. In this embodiment, a playback request initiated by a second terminal is taken as an example of a request triggered by the selection of link information corresponding to the first terminal.

(3) Sending the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal to the second terminal so as to play the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal on a graphical user interface of the second terminal; the game partner request is a request triggered by selecting the partner control.

The operation acting on the accompany control for selecting the game can be click operation, double click operation, sliding operation or long press operation, and the game accompany request is generated when the accompany control is operated by the user.

Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a cloud game application scene is shown, which takes an example that a user a initiates a game accompany request during playing a game as an illustration, a game picture of a current game of the user a is displayed on a graphical user interface of the user a, and an accompany link display area is displayed on the right side of the graphical user interface and is used for providing a live broadcast or recorded broadcast link address corresponding to another terminal in the display area. The display area can also be hidden by clicking the arrow icon in the figure 4 according to the needs so as to reduce the occupation of the game picture, and the user can click the arrow icon to display the game picture when needed. When the user A selects a certain link address, the terminal of the user A sends a game accompany request corresponding to the link address to the cloud server, and then the cloud server determines the terminal corresponding to the link address as the first terminal to acquire a game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal.

For the cloud game application scenario shown in fig. 4, when a player operates a game, it may need to refer to the play methods of other players to instruct him to more quickly pass a level, and based on this, in some feasible embodiments, in order to enable the player to refer to the play methods of other players at any time during the operation of the game without quitting the game and then performing accompanying selection, a game screen video stream corresponding to the second terminal in the above method is played on a graphical user interface of the second terminal, where the graphical user interface may include an accompanying link display area; the method further comprises the following steps: displaying a live broadcast or recorded broadcast playing link of the first terminal in the accompanying link display area; wherein, the game accompany request is a request triggered by selecting the playing link.

The embodiment of the invention also provides another cloud game control method, which is similar to the method in the embodiment, the method also comprises the steps of respectively running the cloud game for the first terminal and the second terminal through the cloud server, and respectively sending the game picture video stream of the cloud game to the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the game picture video streams corresponding to the first terminal and the second terminal respectively comprise a first virtual character and a second virtual character, and the first virtual character and the second virtual character respectively execute cloud game logic according to the control instructions sent by the first terminal and the second terminal. Referring to a flowchart of another cloud game control method shown in fig. 5, the method includes the steps of:

step S502: receiving a game accompanying request initiated by a second terminal, determining an accompanying object as a first virtual character according to the game accompanying request, and sending an accompanying reminding message to the second terminal;

after the player sends a game accompanying request, in order to prevent the game accompanying request sent by the misoperation of the player, after the cloud server receives the game accompanying request, the cloud server does not directly perform superposition processing of video streams, but sends an accompanying reminding message to the second terminal, wherein the accompanying reminding message may include game information corresponding to the first terminal selected by the player, and the game information may include a user name of the first terminal, a game name of the first terminal, a character name of a first virtual character corresponding to the first terminal, and the like.

Step S504: and receiving a partner confirmation message fed back by the second terminal aiming at the partner reminding message, and determining that the game partner request corresponds to the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal.

And the second terminal receives the accompany reminding message, and feeds back the accompany confirmation message after confirming the message content so as to confirm the first virtual character accompany agreeing to the first terminal. And if the second terminal receives the accompany reminding message and does not process or selects to reject the first virtual character accompany of the first terminal, the cloud server does not perform subsequent superposition processing.

Step S506: overlapping the game picture video stream corresponding to the second terminal with the game picture video stream corresponding to the first terminal;

step S508: displaying the game picture video stream after the superposition processing on the second terminal; and displaying the first virtual character in the game picture video stream after the superposition processing according to preset parameters.
