Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are described:

team room: is a logical object for determining the team relationship of the game account numbers. Illustratively, the team room includes at least one team, and each team has a corresponding team identification.

User interface UI (user interface) controls: refers to any visual control or element that can be seen on the user interface of the application, such as a picture, an input box, a text box, a button, a label, and other controls, some of which UI controls can send game invitation information to the server in response to the user's operation, for example, the user clicks the invitation entry.

Multiplayer Online Battle sports (MOBA) game: in the virtual environment, different virtual teams belonging to at least two enemy camps respectively occupy respective map areas, and the competition is carried out by taking a certain winning condition as a target. Such winning conditions include, but are not limited to: the method comprises the following steps of occupying site points or destroying enemy battle site points, killing virtual characters of enemy battle, ensuring survival of the enemy battle in a specified scene and moment, seizing certain resources, and comparing and exceeding the other party in the specified moment. The tactical competitions can be carried out by taking a game as a unit, and the map of each tactical competition can be the same or different. Each virtual team includes one or more virtual roles, such as 1, 2, 3, or 5.

Virtual environment: is a virtual environment that is displayed (or provided) when an application is run on the terminal. The virtual environment may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional environment, or a pure fictional environment. The virtual environment may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Virtual roles: refers to at least one movable object in a virtual environment that is controlled by a user. The virtual character may be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, or the like. Optionally, the virtual character is a three-dimensional volumetric model created based on animated skeletal techniques. Each virtual character has its own shape and volume in the virtual environment, occupying a portion of the space in the virtual environment.

In a game application program, a user usually pays attention to the online state of friends in the game, so that the user can chat and interact with friends in the game, invite the game and the like. When two parties are in different applications, in the related art, game invitation is generally performed based on the following two schemes.

The first scheme is as follows: the game application program is switched to the social contact application program by the user, the user is communicated with the friends through the social contact application program, and the user logs in the game application program together to participate in the game under the condition that the user agrees with the friends.

In the first scheme, the user needs to switch the application program to invite the game, so that the steps are complicated, and the threshold for the user to invite the game is increased, which is not favorable for the user to quickly establish contact with friends, and further is not favorable for the friends to quickly enter the game based on the invitation.

Scheme II: and part of the social application program supports receiving game invitations sent by users from the game application program, and friends log in the game application program based on the game invitations in the social application program.

In the second scheme, the situation that the current online state of the friend is ambiguous or lagged exists, so that the user cannot timely receive feedback of the friend on the game invitation, and the success rate of the game invitation of the cross-application program is reduced.

From the above analysis, there is no technical solution that can well implement the function of cross-application real-time game invitation at present.

In the embodiment of the application, the online state of the user in the social application program is synchronized to the game application program in real time, the user in the game application program can send the real-time game invitation to the online friends in the social application program, and the friends who accept the invitation can forward to the game application program, so that a cross-application-program real-time game invitation mode is created, and the success rate and the convenience of game invitation are greatly improved.

The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are exemplarily described below based on the following embodiments.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a computer system provided by one embodiment of the present application. The computer system may include: a first terminal 10, a server 20 and a second terminal 30.

The user corresponding to the first terminal 10 is a first user, and the first user logs in the game application program in the first terminal 10 by using the first game account. The first user uses the first terminal 10 to control an avatar in the game application that is located in the virtual environment to perform an activity, the avatar may be referred to as a first avatar. Activities of the virtual character include, but are not limited to: adjusting at least one of body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, flying, jumping, driving, picking up, shooting, attacking, throwing.

The second terminal 30 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a game console, an e-book reader, a multimedia playing device, a wearable device, an MP3 player, an MP4 player, a laptop portable computer, and the like. The second terminal 30 may have installed therein a game application that is an application having a game invitation function and a social application that is an application having a social function. Illustratively, the game application is a game application, for example, the game application supports a virtual environment, and may specifically be any one of an FPS game, a TPS game, a military simulation program, an MOBA game, a tactical competition game, and an SLG, and the social application is a game community service application corresponding to the game application, and the game community service application supports functions of providing game information, user dynamics, live game, battle performance inquiry, community friend making, and the like to a user corresponding to the game application. Illustratively, the game application is a game-like application and the social application is an instant messaging-like application. The user corresponding to the second terminal 30 is a second user, and the second user logs in the game application program in the second terminal 30 by using the second game account. The first user uses the second terminal 30 to control the virtual character in the game application, which is located in the virtual environment, to perform an activity, and the virtual character may be referred to as a second virtual character. Activities of the virtual character include, but are not limited to: adjusting at least one of body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, flying, jumping, driving, picking up, shooting, attacking, throwing.

The server 20 is used to provide background services for applications (game applications or social applications) in the first terminal 10 or the second terminal 30. For example, the server 20 may be a backend server for the application described above. The server 20 may be a server, a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud computing service center.

The first terminal 10, the second terminal 30 and the server 20 may communicate with each other through a network. The network may be a wired network or a wireless network.

The embodiment of the application provides a technical scheme that the online state of a user in a social application program is synchronized into a game application program, so that the user in the game application program can send a team invitation to online friends in the social application program.

Next, a game invitation method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described based on fig. 2.

Query friend status flow

In step S21, the server updates the social application online status.

In step S22, the game application requests the server to query the social application online status of the friend.

In step S23, the server returns the social application online status of the friend to the game application.

For example, for a friend who is in the online status of the social application, the server determines whether the friend is adult, and if the friend is adult, the server returns to the game application that the online status of the social application of the friend is online. Accordingly, within the game application, an online status control representing that the social application is online is displayed under the friend icon.

Team invitation flow

In step S24, the game application initiates a team invitation to the server.

In step S25, the server issues a team invitation message to the social application.

Illustratively, a user clicking on a friend's online status control within a gaming application may pop up an invitation confirmation pop-up, clicking on a send control in the invitation confirmation pop-up, and via processing by a server, may send a team invitation message from the gaming application to a social application across the applications to invite a team.

Join the game flow

In step S26, the friend clicks the team invitation message to pull up the game.

Illustratively, after the friend receives the team invitation message from the game application from the social application, the friend can pull up the game application by clicking an invitation acceptance control on the team invitation message.

For example, since the group invitation message is accompanied by key information such as the identification of the group and the identification of the inviter, the friend can join the group of the inviter after entering the game, and the cross-application group formation is completed.

In step S27, the game application synchronizes the game state to the social application.

In a specific example, the game invitation scheme corresponding to fig. 2 is exemplarily described based on fig. 3.

FIG. 3 shows a team room interface for Player 0 on a gaming application in a first terminal. The embodiment is only exemplarily described in the case that the same user uses the same account information in the game application and the social application, for example, the player 2 logs in on the game application and the social application by using the same account.

On the team room interface, a first virtual character 301 controlled by player 0 is displayed, indicating that player 0 participates in a team in the team room.

In the event that player 0 triggers display of the contact list 302 in the team room interface, the contact list 302 shows the online status of the contact account of player 0 in the social application. Illustratively, player 2 corresponds to a "social application online" control 303, which means that player 2 is not currently in the game application, but is active online within the social application, so displaying the status of player 2 within the game application is that the social application is online.

While player 2 is online in the social application, within the game application, player 0 supports sending game invitation information to player 2 in the social application. Illustratively, when the player 0 clicks the "social application online" control 303 corresponding to the player 2, an invitation confirmation popup window 304 is displayed on the team room interface, the invitation confirmation popup window 304 includes an invitation confirmation control 305, and when the player 0 clicks the invitation confirmation control 305, the game application in the first terminal sends game invitation information to the server, and the server sends the game invitation information to the social application in the second terminal corresponding to the player 2.

In the case where player 2 accepts the game invitation information sent by player 0 within the social application, a first virtual character 301 controlled by player 0 and a second virtual character 306 controlled by player 2 are displayed on the team room interface, indicating that player 0 and player 2 participate in the team room.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a game invitation method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may be used in a computer system as shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

step 402: and the server sends the second game account or the login state of the binding account of the second game account in the social application program to the game application program in the first terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, the server establishes communication connection with the first terminal and the second terminal, the first terminal runs a game application program, the game application program in the first terminal logs in a first game account, the second terminal runs a game application program and a social contact application program, and the game application program in the second terminal logs in a second game account.

In the embodiment of the present application, the game application and the social application are two different applications. The game application is an application with a game invitation function, and the social application is an application with a social function. Illustratively, the game application is a game class application supporting a virtual environment, and the social application is a game community service class application corresponding to the game application. Illustratively, the game application is a game-like application that supports a virtual environment and the social application is an instant messaging-like application.

In one possible implementation in the present application, the gaming application and the social application use the bound account information. Correspondingly, in step 402, the server sends the login status of the bound account of the second game account in the social application program to the game application program in the first terminal.

For example, the second user logs in through the game application program in the second terminal by using the second game account, and logs in through the social application program in the second terminal by using the second social account, wherein the second game account and the second social account are bound accounts.

The second game account and the second social account are binding accounts, which may mean that the second game account and the second social account have a binding relationship and correspond to the same identity authentication information. Such as: the second game account and the second social account are accounts logged in through the same mobile phone number; the second game account and the second social account are accounts logged in through the same mailbox number; the second game account and the second social account are accounts logged in through the same third-party application program account; the second game account is an account obtained in the game application program after logging in through the second social contact account; the second social account is an account obtained in the social application program after logging in through the second game account; and the second game account logs in through a mobile phone number, the second social contact account logs in through a mailbox number, the authentication mobile phone number of the mailbox number is the same as the mobile phone number used for logging in the first game account, and the like.

In another possible implementation in the present application, the gaming application and the social application use the same account information. Accordingly, in step 402, the server sends the login status of the second game account in the social application to the game application in the first terminal.

Illustratively, the second user logs in using the second game account with the game application in the second terminal, and the social application in the second terminal also logs in using the second game account. Illustratively, the game application is a game application supporting a virtual environment, the social application is a game community service application corresponding to the game application, and an account number used for login of the game community service application is a second game account number logged in by the game application.

Optionally, the login status of a game account or a bound account of the game account in the social application includes but is not limited to: an online state and an offline state. The online state refers to a state that the server detects that the game account or the bound account of the game account is in login, and the offline state refers to a state that the server does not detect that the game account or the bound account of the game account is in login.

Optionally, when the login state of the social application program of the second game account or the binding account of the second game account is updated, the server sends the login state of the social application program of the second game account or the binding account of the second game account to the game application program in the first terminal; or the server sends the latest second game account or the login state of the binding account of the second game account in the social application program to the game application program in the first terminal at a preset interval period; or when the game application program in the first terminal makes a query request, the server sends the second game account or the login state of the binding account of the second game account in the social application program to the game application program in the first terminal.

Step 404: and the game application program in the first terminal displays the login state of the second game account or the binding account of the second game account in the social application program.

After receiving the login state of the second game account or the binding account of the second game account in the social application program, the game application program in the first terminal displays the login state of the second game account or the binding account of the second game account in the social application program. Wherein the second game account is an account registered in a game application in the second terminal.

For example, the displayed second game account or the display elements of the bound account of the second game account in the login state of the social application include, but are not limited to: the account name of the second game account, the head portrait of the second game account, the account name of the binding account of the second game account, the head portrait of the binding account of the second game account, the login state and the account relationship between the second game account and the first game account.

Step 406: in response to the login status being online, the gaming application in the first terminal provides an invitation entry for inviting the second gaming account.

And under the condition that the second game account or the binding account of the second game account is in an online state in the login state of the social application program, the game application program in the first terminal provides an invitation inlet for inviting the second game account. Correspondingly, under the condition that the second game account or the binding account of the second game account is in the non-online state in the login state of the social application program, the game application program in the first terminal does not provide an invitation inlet for inviting the second game account.

Optionally, the invitation entry may be provided at any interface in the gaming application. Optionally, the invitation entry specifies a boundary to be provided in the game application, such as: the method includes providing in at least one of a home page, a team room interface, a chat interface, and a game interface in the game application.

Step 408: in response to receiving a trigger operation to the invitation entry, the game application in the first terminal sends game invitation information to the social application in the second terminal.

The game invitation information is used for inviting the second game account to participate in the game application program.

Illustratively, the game invitation information is used to invite a second game account to log into the online game application. Illustratively, the game invitation information is used to invite the second game account to participate in the game with the first game account in the game application. Illustratively, the game invitation information is used for inviting the second game account to match up with the first game account in the game application. Illustratively, the game invitation information is used to invite a second game account into a designated room in the game application. Illustratively, the game invitation information is used to invite a second game account to a designated team in the game application.

Optionally, the game invitation information carries at least one of the following information: account information of the first game account, account information of the second game account, account information of the binding account of the second game account, room identification and team identification. The room identification is used for identifying a team room or a game room in the game application, and the team identification is used for identifying a team in the game application.

Step 410: the server receives game invitation information sent by a game application program in the first terminal.

The game invitation information is used for inviting the second game account to participate in the game application program, and the game invitation information is sent when the first game account is in the second game account or the binding account of the second game account is in the online state in the login state of the social application program.

Step 412: the server sends the game invitation information to the social application in the second terminal.

After the server receives the game invitation information sent by the game application program in the first terminal, the server correspondingly sends the game invitation information to the social contact application program in the second terminal.

Step 414: the second terminal displays a first application interface of the social application, the first application interface including game invitation information.

The game invitation information is used for indicating a first game account to invite a second game account to participate in a game application program, the game invitation information is sent when the first game account is in the second game account or a binding account of the second game account is in an online state in a login state of the social application program, and the first game account is a login account in the game application program in the first terminal.

The first application interface is an interface in a social application program, and the first application interface is any interface in the social application program, for example, the first application interface is a chat interface, for example, the first application interface is a home page of the social application program. And displaying the game invitation information in the second terminal on the first application interface of the social application program.

Step 416: in response to receiving the acceptance operation of the game invitation information, the second terminal invokes the running game application.

And in the case that the social application program in the second terminal receives the acceptance operation of the game invitation information, the second terminal calls up and runs the game application program, and the second terminal jumps from the social application program to the game application program. Correspondingly, under the condition that the social application program in the second terminal does not receive the accepting operation of the game invitation information, the second terminal still runs the social application program.

Optionally, after the second terminal receives the response operation to the game invitation information, the second terminal sends invitation feedback information for the game invitation information to the server, the server forwards the invitation feedback information to the game application program in the first terminal, and the game application program in the first terminal correspondingly displays the invitation feedback information. Illustratively, the invitation feedback information includes: the second game account accepts the invitation; or, the second gaming account does not accept the invitation.

Step 418: the second terminal displays a second application interface of the game application.

And the second terminal switches the game application program to the foreground for running and displays a second application interface of the game application program, and at the moment, the game application program in the second terminal logs in a second game account.
