Thereafter, the gaming terminal 101 advances the local game progress based on the second data from the gaming terminal 102.

The above functions of the game terminal 101 and the game terminal 102 can be implemented in a game program, or can be realized by a software development kit (hereinafter referred to as SDK). The advantage of using the SDK is that any game can call the SDK to achieve the above functions. The SDK provides a set of game programs for the game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102 in the form of a local library (such as a Java jar, a C/C++ static library or a dynamic library, etc.) for providing a game program and remotely connecting with other devices. Interactive interface. The game program also sets a set of interfaces for the SDK to call according to the convention. The SDK of the gaming terminal 101 and the SDK of the gaming terminal 102 communicate via a remote communication interface.

The system architecture shown in FIG. 1 may further include a server 103 for managing the interaction between the game terminal 101 and the game terminal 102. The server 103 is connected to the game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102 via another network such as the Internet (Internet) or a wireless network. The server can perform access management, account management, and session management for the game terminal 101 and the game terminal 102.

The access management includes establishing a connection between the server 103 and the game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102, and performing message interaction with the game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102 through the connection. The account management includes registering the game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102, and creating an account for the registered game terminal 101 or the game terminal 102, which can uniquely identify a game terminal in the server 103. Session management includes creating and managing a session between gaming terminal 101 and gaming terminal 102.

The process in which the gaming terminal 101 or the gaming terminal 102 establishes a connection with the server 103 can employ the flow shown in FIG. 2. 2 is a flow chart of establishing a connection between a game terminal and a server. As shown in FIG. 2, the process includes:

S201. The game terminal starts the game.

The game terminal can receive an instruction input by the player to start the game, and start the game according to the instruction.

S202. The game terminal sends a request for establishing a connection to the server according to the startup of the game.

The gaming terminal can establish a connection with the server when the game is started. The address of the game terminal may be carried in the request for establishing a connection sent by the game terminal to the server. The address of the game terminal may be an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The IP address can be an internal network IP address and an external network IP address.

In an embodiment, the request for establishing a connection may further carry the identifier of the game terminal, and the identifier of the game terminal may be an international identity code of the mobile device (International Mobile Equipment) Identity, hereinafter referred to as IMEI or Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network card of the game terminal, can uniquely identify the logo of the game terminal. The server can directly identify the gaming terminal by using the identity of the gaming terminal.

In another embodiment, the server may also employ a registration mechanism to assign an account to the registered gaming terminal that uniquely identifies the gaming terminal in the server. In this case, if the gaming terminal has already registered with the server, the identification of the gaming terminal carried by the gaming terminal to the server to establish the connection request may also be replaced by the account.

S203. The server establishes a connection with the game terminal according to the request for establishing a connection sent by the game terminal, and returns a response for establishing a successful connection.

After receiving the request to establish a connection, the server establishes a connection with the game terminal according to the address of the game terminal carried in the request to establish the connection.

If the server adopts a registration mechanism, after receiving the request to establish a connection, the server may further determine whether the game terminal has been registered. If it is already registered, it directly returns the response to establish a connection. If not registered, the server allocates an account for the game terminal, records the correspondence between the account and the address of the game device and the established connection, and returns the account to the game terminal in response to the successful connection establishment, so as to play the game. The terminal subsequently uses the account to interact with the server.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the process of successfully establishing a connection is described. For the case where the connection is not successfully established, the server returns a response to the establishment of the connection failure to the game terminal, and terminates the process.

S204. The game terminal maintains a connection with the server.

After receiving the response to establish a successful connection, the game can maintain the connection with the server by sending a heartbeat message periodically (eg, periodically). Of course, other means can be used to maintain the connection with the server. Since the connection with the server can be implemented by using the prior art, it will not be described here. The gaming terminal can disconnect from the server when exiting the game.

After establishing a connection with the server 103, the gaming terminal 101 can initiate a request for assistance to the server 103 via the connection when the assistance is required (e.g., receiving a help instruction input by the player).

Since the gaming terminal 101 is in an online state after establishing a connection with the server 103, the gaming terminal 101 can initiate a help request in real time, thereby obtaining help in real time, and improving the efficiency of obtaining help.

The help process of the game terminal will be described in detail below with a specific embodiment. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in some embodiments. In all of the embodiments described below, the game terminal to be assisted is referred to as a first game terminal, and The game terminal for help is referred to as a second game terminal.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a method for implementing game help according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment describes the interaction between the first game terminal and the second game terminal. The following interaction process may be performed directly between the first game terminal and the second game terminal, or may be forwarded between the first game terminal and the second game terminal by other devices (such as the server shown in FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 3, the method of this embodiment is as follows:

S301: The first game terminal initiates a help request and suspends the current game progress.

When the player using the first game terminal encounters a problem that is difficult to solve during the game, the help function can be triggered in the game interface provided by the first game terminal. After the player triggers the help function, the first game terminal pauses the current game progress and initiates a help request to the second game terminal. The help request may carry a help description (for example, a game name for help, a help level or a question type of help, etc.) and an identification or account number of the first game terminal. The identification or account number of the first gaming terminal enables the server to know the source of the request for help. The request for help can be sent to the second game terminal via the server.

S302: After receiving the help request of the first game terminal, the second game terminal returns a help response to the first game terminal, where the help response indicates that the help request has been accepted by the second game terminal.

After receiving the help request, the second game terminal displays a help request to the player of the second game terminal through the user interface, and after the player selects to accept the help request, the second game terminal returns a help response to the first game terminal, the help The response indicates that the help request has been accepted by the second gaming terminal.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the entire help-seeking process is described by taking the second game terminal accepting the help-seeking request as an example. In the case that the second game terminal rejects the help request, the second game terminal returns a response indicating rejection of the help, and terminates the current help flow.

S303: After receiving the help response, the first game terminal provides the first data for describing the current game progress to the second game terminal, and switches the source of the second data for promoting the progress of the game from the local to the first Two game terminals.

The first game terminal encapsulates the first data for describing the current game progress in a format defined by the game program and sends the data to the second game terminal. The first data may include various types of status data related to the players of the first game terminal, depending on the design of each game (for example, may include character attributes in the game, task completion status, and non-player control roles ( Non Player Character, NPC) status, preset time trigger status, position of the character in the map, status of each item in the map, script position to which the game progresses, or game clock, etc.).

The first game terminal can further save the first data to a local file. It should be noted that When the current game progress is paused, the first data is stored in memory. Here, the first data is saved to a local file, and the first data is saved to a non-volatile storage medium (for example, a hard disk).

The second data that advances the progress of the game may include game operation data. The game operation data refers to data generated based on an input event of a peripheral of the game terminal. The input event may include a mouse movement event, a mouse click event, a touch screen click event, or a keyboard input event. The local data interface described above includes an input interface locally for inputting game operation data.

Depending on the specific design of the different games, the second data may further include random values generated in the game clock and/or the game in addition to the game operation data. Specifically, advancement of certain components in some game programs (eg, NPCs in a game or game scripts) is triggered by an internal clock, in which case the second data may include a game clock. In some games, there are random values that affect the progress of the game (for example, the NPC's motion trajectory may be random in the game, and the event triggered by the character's behavior may be randomly selected). In this case, the second data may include Random values generated in the game. The random value needs to carry a valid identification parameter for identifying the object to which the random value acts. The above game operation data, game clock, and random values are well-known techniques in the game, and will not be described again here.

The first game terminal switches the source of the second data for advancing the progress of the game from the local to the second game terminal. Specifically, the first game terminal invokes the second game terminal remote data interface instead of the local data interface. The local data interface refers to an interface that the first game terminal locally generates data for advancing the progress of the game (for example, an input interface for generating game operation data in the first game terminal, and a clock for generating a game clock in the first game terminal) A generator, or a random value generator for generating a random value in the first game terminal). The remote data interface refers to an interface for acquiring data of the advancement game progress generated by the second game terminal based on the first data.

S304: After receiving the first data from the first game terminal, the second game terminal generates second data that advances the progress of the game based on the first data.

The second game terminal generates the second data for advancing the progress of the game based on the first data, specifically: the second game terminal loads the first data, starts the game based on the loaded first data, and generates a second advancement progress of the game during the game. data.

For example, in the process of generating game operation data, the second game terminal may acquire an input event of a peripheral device of the second game terminal during the game after loading the first data (eg, a mouse movement event, a mouse click event, a touch screen click event). Or a keyboard input event, etc., based on the input event to generate game operation data. Since the second game terminal generates game operation data, a game clock, a random value, and the like to advance the progress of the game during the game, the data is prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

S305: The second game terminal provides the second game data based on the first data to advance the progress of the game to the first game terminal.

The second game terminal provides the generated second data to the first game terminal in real time.

Specifically, if the game clock needs to be used to advance the game progress, the second game terminal starts the game clock after the game is started, and the cycle occurs. At the beginning of each clock cycle, the second game terminal transmits the game clock to the first game terminal in real time.

When the second game terminal receives the operation control of the peripheral device of the second game terminal by the player of the second game terminal (ie, when the input event of the peripheral device of the second game terminal is monitored), the game operation data is generated, and these are generated. The game operation data is sent to the first game terminal in real time.

If there is a random value affecting the progress of the game program during the progress of the game program, the second game terminal transmits the random value to the first game terminal in real time when generating the random value.

S306: The first game terminal advances the local game progress based on the second data from the second game terminal.

The first game terminal takes the second data from the second game terminal as an input of the local game, and executes the game, and the game process is presented in the game interface.

Since the first game terminal advances the local game progress based on the second data from the second game terminal, causing the game on the first game terminal to maintain the same input as the game on the second game terminal, reaching the reproduction of the second game terminal The effect of the game interface. Thereby the player of the first game terminal is helped.

In the above embodiment, the second game terminal performs the game based on the real-time game progress of the first game terminal, and therefore, the help provided by the second game terminal has the effect of being tailored for the first game terminal, so that the provided help is more targeted. Sexual, more effective. Moreover, since the data returned by the second game terminal is the game progress of initiating the help request directly for the first game terminal, there is no need to locate the data required to solve the problem in a large amount of help data as in the prior art, and therefore, compared with the current Technology and efficiency.

An embodiment in which the interaction between the first game terminal and the second game terminal is managed by the server will be described below. FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for implementing game help according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method in this embodiment is as follows:

S401: The first game terminal initiates a help request and suspends the current game progress.

Before the first game terminal initiates the help request, the connection may be established with the server. The process of establishing a connection between the first game terminal and the server may be referred to the part of FIG. 2, and details are not described herein again.

After the connection is successfully established, when the player using the first game terminal encounters a problem that is difficult to solve during the game, the request for assistance can be initiated to the server through the connection with the server.

For specific implementation of this step, reference may be made to step S301 in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

S402: After receiving the help request, the server determines a second game terminal that provides assistance for the first game terminal, and creates a help session.

In one example, the first gaming terminal may specify a second gaming terminal that provides assistance in the request for help. Specifically, the identifier of the designated second game terminal may be carried in the help request. The server may determine a second gaming terminal that provides assistance to the first gaming terminal based on the identification of the second gaming terminal specified in the request for assistance.

In another example, the server may determine a second gaming terminal that provides assistance to the first gaming terminal by analyzing the help descriptions carried in the help request. Specifically, the server may select the second game terminal having the capability to solve the help for the first game terminal based on the analysis of the help description. For example, the game terminal in the game in which the game in the help description is played may be selected, or the game terminal of the customer service responsible for processing the corresponding type of question in the help description may be selected (this method is applicable to the case of a customer service with special help). It can classify the customer service personnel and possible problems in the game process, and different customer service personnel are responsible for handling different types of problems).

S403: The server forwards the help request to the second game terminal.

After the server determines the second game terminal, the server determines whether the connection with the second game terminal is normal, and if the connection between the server and the second game terminal is normal, forwards the help request to the second game terminal.

When the server sends a help request to the second game terminal, the server may carry the session identifier (Identification, ID) of the help session in the help request.

S404: The server receives a help response from the second game terminal.

For the process of returning the help response of the second game terminal, refer to step S302 in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

The session response returned by the second game terminal may carry a session ID, and the server may determine, according to the session ID, a help session corresponding to the help response and a first game terminal in the help session.

S405: The server assists the first game terminal and the second game terminal to implement transmission of game data.

After receiving the help response returned by the second game terminal, the server determines whether the second game terminal accepts the help request according to the received help response. After determining that the second game terminal accepts the help request, the server assists the first game terminal and the second game terminal in realizing the transmission of the game data. The game data includes first data for describing a progress of the game when the first game terminal initiates the help request, and second data for advancing the progress of the game generated by the second game terminal based on the first data.

The help response may further include a second game terminal account number, a second game terminal description, whether a direct connection may be attempted, and/or a second game terminal internal network IP address.

The server determines whether the first game terminal two game terminals can be directly established according to whether the direct connection, the second game terminal internal network IP address, and/or the external network IP address can be attempted in the help response returned by the second game terminal. Connection for subsequent interactive messages. If the first game terminal and the second game terminal have the same external network address, or the first game terminal and the second game terminal have the same internal and external network addresses (ie, the first game terminal and the second game terminal have a public network Internet address instead of In the private network, the public network is accessed through the gateway, and it is determined that the connection between the first game terminal and the second game terminal can be directly established; otherwise, the first game terminal and the second game terminal need to forward the message through the server.

Therefore, the server assists the first game terminal and the second game terminal in realizing the transmission of the game data in the following two ways:

Method 1: Server transfer mode. In this manner, the game data transmitted between the first game terminal and the second game terminal is transferred by the server. This process can be implemented by the following steps S405a-S405e.

S405a: A help response returned by the server to the first game terminal, the help response may include a session ID, and the second game terminal does not support an indication of directly establishing a connection.

S405b: The first game terminal sends a message including the first data and the ID of the help session to the server.

After receiving the help response, the first game terminal determines, according to the response message, that the second game terminal does not support establishing a connection with the first game terminal directly. Therefore, the first game terminal transmits the first data to the server and is forwarded by the server.

S405c: The second game terminal that the server forwards the first data.

Specifically, the server finds the help session identified by the ID by using the ID carried in the message, and forwards the first data to the second game terminal in the help session.

S405d: The server acquires second data generated by the second game terminal during the game.

After receiving the first data, the second game terminal loads the first data, and starts the game based on the loaded first data, and sends the second data generated during the game to the server. The second game terminal may carry the ID of the help session in the message for transmitting the second data.

S405e: The server sends the second data from the second game terminal to the first game terminal.

The server finds a help session according to the ID of the help session carried in the message sending the second data, and sends the second data to the first game terminal in the help session.

Method 2: Direct connection. The method is that the server sends the address of the second game terminal to the first a game terminal for the first game terminal to directly establish a connection for transmitting game data with the second game terminal. The game data is transmitted through a connection established between the first game terminal and the second game terminal. This process can be implemented by the following steps S405a'-S405f'.

S405a': a help response returned by the server to the first game terminal, where the help response may include a session ID, an address of the second game terminal, and an indication that the second game terminal supports direct connection establishment.

S405b': The first game terminal initiates a request to establish a connection to the second game terminal.

After receiving the help response, the first game terminal initiates a connection establishment request to the second game terminal according to the address of the second game terminal carried in the help response, and attempts to establish a connection directly with the second game terminal.

S405c': The second game terminal establishes a connection with the first game terminal according to the request for establishing a connection sent by the first game terminal.

S405d': The first game terminal notifies the server to establish a direct connection success.

When the first game terminal establishes a connection with the second game terminal, the server sends a notification to the server to notify the server to use a direct connection between the first game terminal and the second game terminal. The server may terminate the help session created in the server according to the notification, or may continue to maintain the help session until receiving the notification of the end of the help.

S405e': The first game terminal transmits the first data to the second game terminal through the connection with the second game terminal.

This step and step S405d' have no order of execution, and any step can be performed first.

S405f': After receiving the first data, the second game terminal loads the first data, and starts the game based on the loaded first data, and sends the second data generated during the game to the first game terminal.

For the specific implementation process of this step, reference may be made to step 304 and step 305 in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

S406: The first game terminal advances the local game progress based on the second data from the second game terminal.

Since the first game terminal advances the local game progress based on the second data from the second game terminal, the game program on the first game terminal is kept the same input signal as the game program on the second game terminal, and the reproduction is achieved. The effect of the user interface of the second game terminal game program. Since the second game terminal is a game based on the progress of the real game of the first game terminal, targeted help can be realized to make the help more effective.

In addition, since the first game terminal keeps connected with the server after starting the game and maintains the online state, the help request can be initiated in real time, and the help is obtained in real time, thereby improving the problem solving effect. rate.

When the help of the first game terminal has been helped, the help can be ended.

The end help may be initiated by the first game terminal or by the second game terminal, the two being only different from the originator of the initiation end message, and the main process is the same. The following describes the process of initiating the help of the first game terminal as an example.

The player of the first game terminal can trigger the end help function on the game interface. After the end help function is triggered, the first game terminal suspends the current game progress and sends an end help message to the second game terminal.

Wherein, if the game data transmitted between the first game terminal and the second game terminal is relayed via the server, the end help message sent by the first game terminal is also transferred to the second game terminal via the server. In this case, the session ID can be carried in the end help message. After receiving the end help message sent by the first game terminal, the server deletes the session corresponding to the session ID according to the session ID. If the direct connection is adopted between the first game terminal and the second game terminal, and the transmitted game data is not transferred by the server, the first game terminal ends the connection of the help message through the first game terminal and the second game terminal. Directly sent to the second game terminal without going through the server. For the case where a direct connection is adopted between the first game terminal and the second game terminal, if the server receives the notification that the first game terminal and the second game terminal successfully establish a connection, the help session of the first game terminal is not deleted, When the help is ended, the first game terminal transmits an end help message carrying the session ID to the server in addition to the end help message to the second game terminal, and the server deletes the session corresponding to the session ID.

The second game terminal stops the game after receiving the end help message.

After the help is over, the first game terminal can continue the game at the current progress, or can resume the game by returning to the progress when the help request is sent, or can end the game. The first game terminal may be designed to perform any of the above-described processes, or may be designed to support the above three processes, and then provide an option to the player through the interface, and the player selects one of them to perform.

If the game is resumed at the current progress, the first game terminal switches the source of the second data advancing the progress of the game from the second game terminal back to the local, and continues the game based on the second data from the local. Specifically, the first gaming terminal switches the input of the game operation data back to the peripheral input of the first gaming terminal. For the case where there is a game clock in the game, the first game terminal also switches the clock generator of the game back to the clock generator of the game itself, and sets the value of the clock generator of the game itself to the current game clock (ie, when the help is finished) Game clock). For the case where there is a random value in the game, the first game terminal also switches the input of the random number to the random number generator of the game itself of the first game terminal. Then continue the progress of the game.

If it is back to the progress when the request for assistance is sent back, the first game terminal loads the first data from the local and switches the source of the second data that advances the progress of the game from the second game terminal back to the local. After loading the first data, the first game terminal advances the game progress based on the second data from the local. Specifically, the first game terminal acquires the first data from the previously saved local file. Wherein, if there is a game clock in the game that affects the progress of the game, the first game terminal may reset the game clock (such as reinitializing the clock or resetting to the clock in the first data), and then notifying the player to start the game.
