Therefore, the cloud game is free from the dependence of the client device on hardware, and compared with the traditional game mode, the cloud game can greatly reduce the device cost of a player for playing the game. For the server, only the performance of the server needs to be improved without developing a new host, and for the user, higher image quality can be obtained without purchasing a high-performance computer.

Before describing the related technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, in order to more clearly understand the related technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, first, related technical terms related to the embodiments of the present application are described.

Cloud computing (cloud computing) is an internet-based computing approach by which shared software and hardware resources and information can be provided to computers and other devices on demand, and the network providing the resources is referred to as the "cloud".

Cloud game: the game client runs at the cloud end and completes an interactive game mode with the user through the network instruction and the audio and video stream.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP): a multi-channel protocol for a user side computer (client or local computer) to connect remotely to a computer (server or remote computer) that provides terminal services.

The Resource Manager (Resource Manager, called Resource Manager for short) schedules the allocation service, and decides whether to allocate the game running environment according to the available resources, which can be understood as a running thread.

A system user: a user for logging in a set operating system (such as a Windows operating system) can be added to the system control panel.

The resource monitoring program (Console program) is a program or thread for detecting running resources of computers such as processes Cpu and Gpu in real time and reporting resource information to the resource manager.

Next, before describing a cloud game running method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a running environment for implementing the cloud game running method will be described. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a cloud game provided in an embodiment of the present application. The application scenario includes the cloud game server 100 and the game terminal 200. The cloud game server 100 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as a cloud service, a cloud database, cloud computing, a cloud function, cloud storage, a network service, cloud communication, a middleware service, a domain name service, a security service, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service, and a big data and artificial intelligence platform.

The game terminal 200 may access the cloud game server 100 through the network 300 to use the cloud game service provided by the cloud game server 100, for example, by remotely connecting the cloud game server 100 to start a cloud game for a corresponding user to play.

The game terminal 200 may be, but is not limited to, a notebook computer, a personal computer, a smart television, a smart phone, a tablet computer, and the like. In order to use the cloud game service provided by the cloud game server 100, the game terminal 200 may download a corresponding game client from the cloud game server 100 through the network 300, so that a game user may access the cloud game server 100 through the game client to perform a cloud game. The network 300 may be a wired network or a wireless network, and the application is not limited thereto.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a cloud game running method according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the cloud game running method may be executed and implemented by the cloud game server. It should be understood that, in the cloud game operating method provided in this embodiment, sequences of some steps included in the cloud game operating method may be interchanged according to actual needs in actual implementation, or some steps may be omitted or deleted, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

The following describes in detail, by way of example, each step of the cloud game running method according to the present embodiment with reference to fig. 2, and in detail, as shown in fig. 2, the method may include related contents described in step S100 and step S200 below.

Step S100, when a start request for a target cloud game sent by a game user is received, determining whether the cloud game server 100 has a capability of running the target cloud game.

In this embodiment, the game user may establish an RDP connection (Remote Desktop connection) with the cloud game server 100 through the game terminal 200 based on a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and after the RDP connection is established, the cloud game server 100 may provide a Remote Desktop for the game terminal 200, the Remote Desktop may present various cloud game icons that can be used, and the game user may initiate a start request for starting the cloud game through an operation of the cloud game icon by using an input and output device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a joystick. Of course, the above process is only an exemplary process for initiating a start request of a cloud game, and in other embodiments, a game user may initiate a start request of the cloud game in a different manner, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In addition, in a possible implementation of this embodiment, the current remaining operating resource amount of the operating resource of the cloud game server 100 and the operating resource amount required by the target cloud game may be obtained first, and then whether the cloud game server 100 has the capability of operating the target cloud game may be determined according to the current remaining operating resource amount of the operating resource of the cloud game server 100 and the operating resource amount required by the target cloud game. For example, the current remaining running resource amount of the running resource may be obtained by a console program as shown in fig. 5, and when the current remaining running resource amount of the cloud game server 100 is greater than the running resource amount required by the target cloud game, it is determined that the cloud game server has the capability of running the target cloud game. On the contrary, when the current remaining operating resource amount of the cloud game server 100 is not greater than the operating resource amount required by the target cloud game, it is determined that the cloud game server does not have the capability of operating the target cloud game.

Step S200, when it is determined that the cloud game server 100 has the capability of running the target cloud game, starting a system user account from the cloud game server 100, and running the target cloud game based on the system user account.

In one possible implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, based on step S200, the following substeps S201-S203 may be implemented.

In sub-step S201, when the cloud game server 100 has the capability of running the target cloud game, a system user account to be enabled is generated for the game user.

In the substep S202, the generated system user account is enabled and a remote desktop connection between the cloud game server 100 and the game terminal 200 of the game user is established based on the system user account.

And a substep S203, operating the target cloud game in a session environment corresponding to the remote desktop connection, and further providing a cloud game service for the game user.

Further, in another possible implementation manner of this embodiment, before the cloud game server 100 provides a game user with a cloud game service, for each cloud game that may be executed on the cloud game server 100, a plurality of system user accounts may be created in advance according to an operation resource amount of an operation resource required by each cloud game and a total operation resource amount of the cloud game server 100. Illustratively, the main running resource required for running the cloud game is a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) resource, and the GPU resource is taken as an example below. Assuming that the total amount of GPU resources of the cloud game server 100 is 100%, the cloud game server 100 may provide cloud game services of game a, game B, and game C for game users, respectively, where game a requires 40% of GPU resources, game B requires 30% of GPU resources, and game C requires 20% of GPU resources, then this embodiment may create three system user accounts, such as user account a, user account B, and user account C, on the cloud game server 100 in advance; then, each of the created system user accounts is respectively associated with one cloud game in the cloud game server 100, for example, a user account a is associated with a game a, a user account B is associated with a game B, and a user account C is associated with a game C.

On the basis of the above, as shown in fig. 4, in another possible implementation manner, the above step S200 can be implemented by the following sub-steps S211 to S213, which are exemplarily described as follows.

Step S211, when the cloud game server 100 has the capability of running the target cloud game, starting one system user account corresponding to the target cloud game from among a plurality of system user accounts created in advance according to the target cloud game.

Step S212, a remote desktop connection between the cloud game server 100 and the game terminal 200 of the game user is established based on the started system user account.

Step S213, running the target cloud game in a session environment corresponding to the remote desktop connection, so as to provide a cloud game service for the game user to run the target cloud game.

In addition, after the target cloud game is executed, authority configuration may be performed on the system user account (for example, account authority is raised to administrator authority), so that the cloud game performs collection of environment information required by the cloud game in the session environment, for example, the environment information includes multimedia information such as audio information and video information.

As an example, please refer to fig. 5, which is an exemplary schematic diagram of the cloud game server 100 running different cloud games through different system user accounts according to the embodiment of the present application.

First, during the operation of the cloud game server 100, a resource monitoring program (for example, a Console program or a thread for monitoring remaining operating resources) is used to monitor the currently available remaining operating resources of the cloud game server 100 in real time, and report the currently available remaining operating resources to a resource manager (ResourceMgr) of the cloud game server 100 in real time, where since the main resource of game operation is Gpu resource, the operating resource is also assumed to be Gpu resource, and the description is presented with Gpu resource as a representative. Of course, it should be understood that the operation resources may also include other operation resources, such as CPU resources, bandwidth resources, and the like, but the operation resources that generally affect the simultaneous operation of multiple cloud games are mainly GPU resources, so this embodiment is exemplarily described by taking GPU resources as a representative.

Then, when player a (player a) initiates a start request of Game a (Game a) to the cloud Game server 100, the environment of the system User account 1(User1) is allocated by ResourceMgr to run Game a according to the available Gpu resources of the cloud Game server 100. Here, assuming that the User1 runs Game a and consumes Gpu% of the resource, the console program reports Gpu resource usage to ResourceMgr in real time.

Next, when player B (player B) initiates a request for starting Game B (Game B) to the cloud Game server 100, it is assumed that Game B requires Gpu resource of 30%, since Game a still has Gpu resource of 60%, resource mcr can schedule system User account 2(User 2) corresponding to Game B to run Game B, and at this time, the cloud Game server 100 reported by the console program still has Gpu resource of 30% left in the whole system

Finally, when player C (player C) initiates a start request of Game C (Game C) to the cloud Game server 100, if Gpu resources required by the Game C to be executed are consumed by less than 30%, ResourceMgr may execute the corresponding Game C by scheduling system User account 3(User 3) corresponding to the Game C, and if Gpu resources required by the Game C to be executed are greater than 30%, the Game C needs to be scheduled to another cloud computing server for execution. Or, when the cloud game server 100 receives a game start request from another player after all of the User1, the User 2, and the User 3 are scheduled, the cloud game server needs to schedule the corresponding target cloud game service to another cloud computing server with the remaining resources to run.

Further, in another possible implementation manner of the step S100, based on the scheme that a plurality of system user accounts are created in advance, whether the cloud game server 100 has the capability of running the target cloud game may be determined by determining whether there is an un-started system user account in the cloud game server 100. For example, when there is an un-activated system user account in the cloud game server 100, it is determined that the cloud game server 100 has the capability of running the target cloud game; on the contrary, when there is no un-started system user account in the cloud game server 100, it is determined that the cloud game server 100 has no capability of running the target cloud game.

To sum up, through a cloud game server 100, the embodiment of the present application adopts different system user accounts and different game terminals to establish remote desktop connections, thereby implementing a scheme in which different cloud games run simultaneously on the cloud game server 100, implementing system-level isolation of remote desktop sessions corresponding to a plurality of different cloud games, and enabling a remote session environment (remote desktop environment) corresponding to each cloud game to have conditions such as an independent desktop, a remote audio device, an independent system object, a context environment, and the like, so that different remote desktop environments can independently acquire audio and video, and independently receive control input of a system, and the like. Therefore, the cloud games of a plurality of single instances running simultaneously can realize the distinguishing and collecting of operation and control, audio and video and the like, further realize the purpose of 'one machine with multiple opening' on the basis of a software layer, and avoid the problem of system resource waste caused by one game monopolizing the system resources of the whole target server.

In addition, the remote session multi-development scheme can flexibly allocate different combination schemes according to business requirements, so that the full utilization of server resources is realized, the resource waste is avoided, and few games (such as hero alliances) which are limited to be started in a remote desktop environment can still be allocated to a remote control session (game session) to run through a resource allocation strategy.

Further, the inventor conducts research and analysis on some possible cloud game implementation schemes, and finds that, in order to achieve the purpose of "one machine with multiple on", in one possible implementation scheme, a Virtual Machine (VM) technology may also be adopted, and a virtual graphics card segmentation technology provided by a graphics card manufacturer is used to segment various hardware resources (including GPU resources) of the cloud game server 100 into each independent virtual machine, and then different virtual machines respectively run different cloud games to achieve the purpose of "one machine with multiple on". However, based on this implementation, on one hand, the adaptation virtual graphics segmentation technique needs to use an enterprise-level graphics, which results in an increase in hardware cost, and on the other hand, when the segmentation granularity is too large (generally, 1/4 and 1/2 specifications), the hardware resources are segmented into different virtual machines, which still causes a problem of resource waste due to surplus resources.

In addition, the virtual machine technology cannot realize the running acceleration of the game by sharing resources by the cloud game. For example, when the number of cloud games running in the cloud game server 100 is small, for example, one cloud game server 100 includes three Virtual Machines (VMs), when only a part of the virtual machines (e.g., one VM) is running a cloud game (e.g., game a and game B), the running cloud game can only use the hardware resources corresponding to the virtual machine where the running cloud game is located, and cannot use the idle hardware resources of other virtual machines to achieve game acceleration. In contrast, based on the system-level isolation of different cloud games implemented by the system user account in the embodiment of the present application, when different cloud games are resource sharing implemented on the premise that the running resources of the cloud game server 100 meet the requirements, and when the number of the cloud games run by the cloud game server 100 is small, the running cloud games can fully use the idle resources of the cloud game server 100 to accelerate the game, and on the premise that "one machine is opened more", the full use of the server resources can be implemented. Therefore, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application also has obvious advantages compared with the implementation scheme of the VM.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the operating system used by the cloud game server 100 is preferably a Windows system that can support simultaneous remote access by multiple system users. Of course, in other embodiments, other operating systems that support simultaneous remote access by multiple system users may be used.

In this embodiment, taking a Windows system as an example, in order to support simultaneous remote access of multiple users, before the target cloud game is run, the running method of the cloud game provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps of system configuration, which are exemplarily described as follows.

The operating system of the cloud game server 100 may be configured with a remote desktop environment by loading and running a preset remote desktop environment configuration file, so that the operating system may support multi-path remote desktop connection and start a remote GPU encoding function and a remote rendering function of a remote desktop environment. In a possible implementation manner, the remote desktop environment configuration file may include a plurality of configuration scripts, for example, a Python script or powershell script that includes configuration information of configuration items and corresponding configuration parameters (for example, a remote desktop connection item and connection parameters corresponding to the remote desktop connection item, a remote refresh frame rate (for example, 60FPS), and the like) for performing remote desktop environment configuration for the operating system. The purpose of running the remote desktop environment configuration file is to enable the operating system of the cloud game server 100 to allow a plurality of remote desktop connections (rdpsessuion) to run simultaneously, and to open the capability of the remote desktop environment to support remote GPU encoding and remote rendering, so that different cloud games can run in session environments corresponding to different system user accounts.

In addition, in order to enable the cloud game running in the session environment corresponding to different system user accounts through the remote desktop session to continuously keep the active state for normal running, in this embodiment, in step S200, after the target cloud game is run based on the system user account, a session service may be further enabled for the system user account, so that the remote desktop connection between the cloud game server 100 and the game terminal 200 of the game user, which is established based on the system user account, keeps the active state. The session service may be automatically closed after the game user exits the running cloud game. In this way, in a scenario where a plurality of cloud games are simultaneously run based on the cloud game server 100, one session service may be enabled on a per cloud game basis, so that a remote desktop connection corresponding to each cloud game is continuously kept in an active state, so that each cloud game can run normally based on the cloud game server.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a cloud game server 100 for implementing the cloud game running method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In detail, the cloud game server 100 may include one or more processors 110, a machine-readable storage medium 120, and a cloud game execution system 130.

In a possible implementation manner, the remote desktop environment configuration file may include a plurality of configuration scripts, for example, a Python script or powershell script that includes configuration items for performing remote desktop environment configuration for the operating system and configuration information of corresponding configuration parameters (for example, a remote desktop connection item and connection parameters corresponding to the remote desktop connection item, and the like). The purpose of running the remote desktop environment configuration file is to allow an operating system of the cloud game server 100 to allow a plurality of remote desktop connections (rdpsessuion) to run simultaneously, and start up the remote desktop environment to support the remote GPU encoding and rendering capability, so that different cloud games can run in session environments corresponding to different system user accounts.

To sum up, according to the cloud game operation method, the cloud game operation system, and the cloud game server provided in the embodiments of the present application, through one cloud game server 100, remote desktop connections are established with different game terminals by using different system user accounts, so as to implement a scheme in which different cloud games are simultaneously operated on the cloud game server 100, thereby implementing system-level isolation of remote desktop sessions corresponding to a plurality of different cloud games, and a remote session environment (remote desktop environment) corresponding to each cloud game has conditions such as an independent desktop, a remote audio device, an independent system object, a context environment, and the like, so that different remote desktop environments can independently acquire audio and video, and independently receive control input of a system, and the like. Based on the cloud game, the cloud game of a plurality of single instances running simultaneously can realize the distinguishing and collecting of operation and control, audio and video and the like, and further realize the purpose of 'one machine with multiple functions' based on a software layer. Therefore, the problem of system resource waste caused by the fact that one game monopolizes the system resources of the whole target server in the prior art can be solved.
