Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a game loading method in one embodiment of the present invention, where this embodiment is applicable to a case of loading a game, and the method may be executed by a game loading apparatus, where the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in various devices providing a game loading service, for example, a client. With reference to fig. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:

and step 110, responding to the login operation of the user on the target game, and sending a game loading request carrying the game version number to the server.

In this embodiment, when a user performs a login operation on a login interface of a target game, for example, a login account and a password of the target game are input, or the user logs in through an application account associated with the target game, a client sends a game loading request to a server, where the game loading request includes a game version number of the target game that the user logs in, so as to obtain an instruction of the server for this loading of the version of the target game.

In this embodiment, for the game loading requests carrying different game version numbers, the game loading requests carrying different game version numbers are respectively sent to the servers corresponding to the game version numbers, for example, the game loading request carrying the game version number of 3.5 is sent to the server with the game version number of 3.5, and the game loading request carrying the game version number of 4.1 is sent to the server with the game version number of 4.1. Before the client sends the game loading request to the server, a communication link needs to be established with the server, and the game loading request is sent to the server through the established communication link.

And step 120, receiving a loading list matched with the game version number returned by the server.

In this embodiment, the loading list is used to indicate which active modules need to be loaded and which active modules do not need to be loaded in the current loading of the target game by the client. The target game of each version corresponds to a plurality of different activity modules, each activity module is time-efficient, and for the target game of the same version, the activity module A, B needs to be loaded during the last week of login, and the activity module B, C needs to be loaded during the week of login, so that the currently logged-in target game needs to be loaded with the activity module, which may include a history activity module, and may also include a new activity module.

Optionally, the method may further include: and if the activity module corresponding to the game version number returned by the server is received, replacing the locally stored activity module with the received activity module.

In this embodiment, if the loading list returned by the server is received and at the same time, an activity module corresponding to the game version number returned by the server is also received, it is indicated that there is a newly added activity module in the target game of the version or there is an activity module modified on the original basis, and at this time, the client needs to replace the locally stored activity module with the received activity module, so as to facilitate the use during the present login and the subsequent login to the game.

In the prior art, since the activity modules can be recycled, all the activity modules and activity data are stored in the target game, and in order to avoid that all the activity modules are initially loaded when the target game runs, and occupy excessive memory and increase resource consumption, in this embodiment, before loading the target game, a loading list corresponding to the logged-in game version number is obtained from the server, so that only the activity modules needing to be loaded are loaded according to the loading list.

And step 130, selectively loading the activity module of the target game according to the loading list.

Optionally, the loading list includes the activity state of each activity module in the login; the active state comprises an operating state and a non-operating state; selectively loading the activity module of the target game according to the loading list may include: and loading the active module in the working state according to the loading list.

In this embodiment, after the loading list is obtained, the active module in the working state may be selected from all the active modules to be loaded, and the active module in the non-working state does not need to be loaded, so that resource waste is reduced, and the game loading speed is increased.

Optionally, when the active module is loaded, the client further needs to send a data request corresponding to the loaded active module to the server, and complete loading of the data module to be loaded according to the active data returned by the server.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a game loading method in the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment may be applied to a case of loading a game, where the method may be executed by a game loading apparatus, and the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in various devices providing a game loading service, for example, a server. With reference to fig. 2, the method specifically includes the following steps:

step 210, receiving a game loading request carrying a game version number of a target game sent by a client.

In this embodiment, the server receives a communication link establishment request sent by the client, and after establishing a communication link with the client, receives a game loading request which is sent by the client through the communication link and carries a game version number of the target game.

Step 220, the legitimacy of the game version number is checked.

In this embodiment, in order to prevent a target game of an incorrect version from being provided to a user or prevent some malicious users from revealing which active modules of the target game of the version, after receiving a game loading request, a server first checks a game version number carried in the game loading request, that is, verifies whether the game version number is consistent with a game version number of the server, if not, it is determined that a connection between the client and the server is incorrect, and error information needs to be returned to the client, and if so, it is determined that a connection between the client and the server is correct, and the game loading request can be processed.

And step 230, if the verification is passed, returning the loading list corresponding to the game version number to the client.

Optionally, if the verification passes, returning the loading list corresponding to the game version number to the client, which may include: judging whether a newly added active module and/or an updated active module exist or not according to the loading list; and if so, returning all the activity modules and the loading list corresponding to the game version number to the client.

In this embodiment, to avoid that the client lacks some activity modules of the version of the target game, before returning the load list to the client, the server first determines whether there is a new activity module and/or an activity module updated on the original basis in the version of the target game, if there is an activity module and an activity list corresponding to the version number of the game, all the activity modules and the load list need to be returned to the client, so that the client updates the activity modules of the target game, and if not, only the load list needs to be returned to the client.

Optionally, the method further includes: detecting the activity states of all activity modules corresponding to the game version number each time a target game is logged in; and if the target activity module with the activity state changed exists, updating the loading list corresponding to the game version number according to the state change of the target activity module.

In this embodiment, each time the server logs in the game, the server detects the activity states of all the activity modules corresponding to the game version number, and if a target activity module that changes from the operating state to the non-operating state or a target activity module that changes from the non-operating state to the operating state is found, the loading list needs to be updated correspondingly according to the state change of the target activity module.

In this embodiment, when the server receives a data request corresponding to an active module to be loaded, which is sent by the client, the server also returns corresponding active data to the client, so that the client can load the active module according to the data.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, a server receives a game loading request which is sent by a client and carries a game version number of a target game; carrying out validity check on the game version number; if the verification is passed, the loading list corresponding to the game version number is returned to the client, so that the problems of excessive loading resources and overlong loading time in the prior art when the game is loaded are solved, only the required game activity module is loaded when the game is loaded, the resource waste is reduced, and the game loading speed is increased.
