This "composite game status update message" includes the server mobile phone 1 1 0 1. Client's mobile phone 1 2 0 '1 3 0 and 1 40 individual game status update messages; 6 Finally, according to the received "composite game status update message", the mobile phone 1 50 will update the game status (step 2 6 〇). From the above description, it is easy to see that although the server-side mobile phone i 丨 〇 is also a participant in the game, it must be more than the other mobile phone = record the entire game group information m, and forward the game status update message The load load: This will cause the server-side mobile phone 110 to consume more CPU resources and faster response time during the game, which is slower than the client-side mobile phone 1 and the mobile phone 150, forming an unfair environment for the game. Another problem is that the player's initial construction of the game's architecture and the addition of the client are quite complicated, and the 5 = server server is overloaded with resources. For the central mobile phone: and the handheld wireless game of the personal computer The negative effects caused by equipment 4, such as device b, which is far less effective, are extremely serious. The mobile phone in the example is described. [Summary of the Invention] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention lies in ^ game architecture +, the master-slave wireless of the establishment of the money end is tedious, and the joining process of Japan is too. The gaming device must be narrow-based & Μ + theft efficiency and communication bandwidth 'have destroyed the fairness of the game; The transmission is to provide & mainly includes the following steps
