For example, some operations / steps can be broken down further, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so that the actual execution order can be changed according to actual conditions.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is an optional structural diagram of a blockchain network 100 provided by embodiments of the present application, which includes a distributed system formed by a plurality of nodes 110 connected through network communication, wherein the nodes 110 can be any form of computing device (such as a server, a user terminal, etc.) in an access network.

[0038] The blockchain network 100 accesses several game applications, specifically, the nodes in the blockchain network can communicate with the servers corresponding to the game applications.

[0039] The node 110 at least includes a terminal of a game player, so that the game player as a user communicates with other nodes 110 in the blockchain network through a client in the terminal of the game player itself, and then logs in to the game application in the blockchain network through the blockchain network 100.

[0040] In an embodiment, the node 110 can also include an operator node, that is, a computer device of an operator, and the operator publishes the game application in the blockchain network based on a client in the computer device, so as to realize the publishing of the game application in the blockchain network, that is, to realize the access of the game application to the blockchain network, so that the user as a game player can log in to the accessed game application after logging in to the blockchain network.

[0041] In an embodiment, the node 110 can also be a server of the game application, that is, the server of the game application controls the login of the user to the game application as a node in the blockchain network, and also provides services for the client after the user logs in to the game application.

[0042] The nodes 110 form a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and the P2P protocol is an application layer protocol running on a transmission control protocol (TCP) protocol. In the system, any machine such as a server or a terminal can join to become a node, and the node includes a hardware layer, an intermediate layer, an operating system layer, and an application layer.

[0043] Referring to the functions of the nodes in the blockchain network 100 shown in the figure, the functions involved include: Figure 1

[0044] 1) Routing, a basic function of the node, used to support communication between nodes.

[0045] In addition to the routing function, the node can also have the following functions:

[0046] 2) Application, used to be deployed in the blockchain, to realize specific services according to actual business needs, record data related to the realization of the function to form record data, carry a digital signature in the record data to represent the source of the task data, and send the record data to other nodes in the blockchain system. The record data, for example, user registration information, user game records, etc., is added to the block by other nodes when the verification of the source and integrity of the record data is successful.

[0047] The business implemented by the application can include:

[0048] ​2.1) wallet, for providing the function of conducting the transaction of electronic money, including initiating the transaction (i.e. sending the transaction record of the current transaction to other nodes in the blockchain network, after the other nodes are verified successfully, as a response to acknowledging the validity of the transaction, the record data of the transaction is stored in the temporary block of the blockchain; of course, the wallet also supports querying the remaining electronic money in the electronic money address;

[0049] 2.2) smart contract, a computerized protocol that can execute the terms of a certain contract, implemented by code deployed on a shared ledger for execution when certain conditions are met, according to the actual business requirements, the code is used to complete the automated transaction, for example, after receiving the login request of the client, the smart contract rejects the login request or allows the client to log in to the blockchain network; of course, the smart contract can also be a contract that executes the processing of the received information, which is not limited here.

[0050] 3) blockchain, including a series of blocks connected to each other in chronological order, once a new block is added to the blockchain, it will not be removed, and the block records the record data submitted by the nodes in the blockchain system. The record data can be the registration information of the registered user in the blockchain network, and the game record of the user in the game application connected to the blockchain network.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is an optional schematic diagram of the blockchain provided by the embodiment of the application, each block includes the hash value of the transaction record stored in the block (the hash value of the block) and the hash value of the previous block, and the blocks are connected by the hash values to form the blockchain. In addition, the block can also include the timestamp when the block is generated and other information. Blockchain, in essence, is a decentralized database, which is a series of data blocks associated using cryptography, each data block contains relevant information for verifying the validity of the information (anti-fake) and generating the next block.

[0052] The implementation details of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application are described in detail as follows:

[0053] Figure 3 A flowchart of a login control method of a game application according to an embodiment of the application is shown, and the login control method of the game application is applied to a node in a blockchain network. Referring to Figure 3 , the login control method of the game application at least includes steps 310 to 370, which are described in detail as follows:

[0054] Step 310, receiving a login request sent by a client, the login request including a user identifier.

[0055] At step 330, the corresponding registration information is obtained from the blockchain according to the user identifier, and the current game limit duration corresponding to the user identifier is determined by the current system time and the age information included in the registration information.

[0056] The user in the blockchain network interacts with other nodes in the blockchain network through a client.

[0057] The user identifier is used to identify the user requesting to log in in the blockchain network. In order to implement the method in the present disclosure, the user needs to register in the blockchain network now, and the node generates a user identifier for uniquely identifying the user in the blockchain network on the one hand; on the other hand, receives the registration information of the user, writes the registration information into the blockchain, and then synchronizes the blockchain to other nodes in the blockchain network. Thus, it is convenient for the blockchain network to manage and control the login of the user.

[0058] The blockchain network accesses a plurality of game applications, and a game player needs to log in to the blockchain network first if he / she wants to play in the game applications accessed by the blockchain network. Therefore, the login request in step 310 is initiated for logging in to the blockchain network.

[0059] In an embodiment, the user can select the game application he / she wants to enter (for the sake of distinction, the game application selected by the user is referred to as the target game application) before initiating the login request, so that the login request indicates the target game application.

[0060] In another embodiment, the user can not select the game application before initiating the login request, and selects the game application he / she wants to enter after successfully logging in to the blockchain network, so that the login request can not indicate the target game application.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the registration information of the user at least includes the age information of the user, which can be information indicating the birth date of the user, or can be registration age indicating the registration age of the user when registering in the blockchain network, which is not limited here.

[0062] The game limit duration is used to limit the total maximum game duration of the user in all game applications accessed by the user in the blockchain network.

[0063] The current game limit duration refers to the game limit duration corresponding to the current system time indicated by the user identifier, in other words, for the user, the current game limit duration is related to the age information of the user indicated by the user identifier and the current system time. The current system time indicates the current date and time, and can also be accurate to the minute.

[0064] In an embodiment, the game limited time length corresponds to a set period, for example, a set daily game limited time length, a set every-three-day game limited time length, a set weekly game limited time length, a set every-month game limited time length, etc., which can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited herein. In the scheme of the present disclosure, the game limited time length is related to age, in other words, if the ages of users are different, the game limited time lengths of the users are different, and therefore, the current game limited time length corresponding to the current system time calculated for a user is different for different years.

[0065] For a user, the age of the user changes over time, and therefore, the current age of the user needs to be calculated based on the current system time corresponding to the login request and the age information of the user, and then the current game limited time length corresponding to the current age of the user is determined according to the corresponding relationship between age and game limited time length.

[0066] and step 350, the corresponding game record of the user identifier is obtained from the blockchain according to the user identifier, and the cumulative game time length of the user identifier within a set period is calculated through the game record, wherein the cumulative game time length includes the game time length of the user indicated by the user identifier on at least one game application accessed by the user in the blockchain network.

[0067] In the scheme of the present disclosure, the client generates a game record for the user after the user exits any game application accessed by the user in the blockchain network each time. Each game record includes at least the game start time when the user starts the game and the exit time when the user exits the game.

[0068] Then, the game record is written into the blockchain and synchronized to other nodes in the blockchain network, so that any node can obtain the blockchain in which the game record of the user is written, thereby facilitating the nodes to control the game login of the user.

[0069] The cumulative game time length is obtained by time accumulation according to the game records of the user indicated by the user identifier in the game applications accessed by the user in the blockchain network.

[0070] The cumulative game time length is obtained by counting the game records within a set period. Of course, the set period is the same as the set period of the current game limited time length. For example, if the game limited time length is to limit the longest game time of the user within one day, the corresponding cumulative game time length is to count the game records within one day.

[0071] The game record of the user obtained is the entire game record of the user indicated by the user identifier after the user registers in the blockchain network. Therefore, the game record corresponding to the set period is filtered from the game record obtained in step 410. Then, the game duration is accumulated according to the game start time and the exit time in the game record in the set period, and the accumulated game duration of the user corresponding to the set period is obtained.

[0072] In specific embodiments, whether a game record is within the set period can be determined according to the game start time, the game exit time, etc. in the game record, which is not limited here.

[0073] For example, assuming that the game start time in the game record A is 2019-12-15-22:30, the game exit time is 2019-12-16-00:45, and the set period is in units of days, for example, from 00:00-24:00. If the game start time is used to determine whether the game record is within the set game period, the game record A is within the game period defined on December 15, 2019. If the game exit time is used to determine whether the game record is within the set game period, the game record A is within the game period defined on December 16, 2019.

[0074] In step 370, if the accumulated game duration is not less than the current game limited duration, a first game control strategy is executed, and the user indicated by the user identifier is restricted from logging in to the blockchain network by executing the first game control strategy.

[0075] In an embodiment, the first game control strategy is to reject the login request, so that when the accumulated game duration corresponding to the user identifier is not less than the current game limited duration, the user cannot continue any game application accessed in the blockchain network, and the user can continue the game only in the next period of game duration accumulation period, thereby effectively avoiding the user's game time being too long.

[0076] In another embodiment, the first game control strategy is to place the login request sent by the client in a waiting area, and the node restricts the client from logging in to the blockchain network by placing the login request in the waiting area. Further, after placing the login request in the waiting area, the login request is taken out at a set time interval, so that the login request is processed.

[0077] In another embodiment, the first game control strategy can also be sending a learning task to the client, for example, a test question practice, a course explanation video, a science video. After the user at the client side completes the test question practice or the course explanation video is played, the node controls the login of the client into the blockchain network. When the cumulative game time corresponding to the user identification is not less than the current game limited time, the learning task is sent to the client, which is equivalent to delaying the login of the client into the blockchain network, so as to effectively avoid the long game time of the user.

[0078] In other embodiments, the first game control strategy can also be other strategies for avoiding the immediate login of the user into the blockchain network, which are not limited here.

[0079] In the prior art, each game application is independent of each other, and due to the non-intercommunication of information between each game platform, the user continues to play by logging into other game platforms after reaching the corresponding limited game time on one game platform. Therefore, the game control in the prior art is easily bypassed and cannot effectively limit the game time of the user.

[0080] In the scheme of the present disclosure, the game application is accessed through the blockchain network, and the user logs into the game application by logging into the blockchain network, thereby realizing the limitation of the user logging into the game application by limiting the login of the user into the blockchain network. Moreover, since the user needs to log into the game application by logging into the blockchain network, it is convenient to record the game record of the user in each game application, and further calculate the cumulative game time of the user in multiple game applications.

[0081] Further, the game record and registration information of the user are written into the blockchain, so that the nodes in the blockchain network can calculate the game limited time of the user based on the cumulative game time in multiple game applications calculated according to the game record and based on the registration information. Further, only when the cumulative game time of the user is less than the game limited time, the client is allowed to log into the blockchain network, so that the long game time of the user in each game application can be effectively avoided. Moreover, since the first game control strategy is controlled by the registration information and the game record of the user, the game login control of the user is realized.

[0082] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the method further comprises:

[0083] Step 410, if the cumulative game time is less than the current game limited time, a second game control strategy is executed, and the client is accessed into the blockchain network by executing the second game control strategy. The client logs into the game application by accessing the blockchain network.

[0084] In an embodiment, the second game control strategy can be to immediately connect the client into the blockchain network, so that the client enters a game application based on the blockchain network connected by the blockchain network.

[0085] In another embodiment, the second game control strategy can be to increase the level or score of the client in the blockchain network while logging the client into the blockchain network. The level or score can assist the user in skill upgrading, equipment exchange, skin exchange, prop exchange, etc. in the game application.

[0086] Further, the increased level (or score) can be according to the difference between the current game limited time and the accumulated game time. For example, a plurality of difference ranges are preset, each difference range corresponds to an increase value of the level, so that the increase value of the level is determined by the difference between the current game limited time and the accumulated game time corresponding to the user identifier.

[0087] In yet another embodiment, the second game control strategy can also be to push pass information to the client while logging the client into the blockchain network, so that the user in which the client is located realizes game pass through the pass information.

[0088] After the client is logged into the blockchain network, the client can be logged into a game application connected by the blockchain network.

[0089] If the login request indicates a target game application that the user wants to log in, after logging into the blockchain network, the client logs into the target game application, that is, the user can enter the game interface of the target game application based on the client.

[0090] If the login request does not indicate the target game application that the user wants to log in, after the client is logged into the blockchain network, the user can select a game in the client interface after logging into the blockchain network, and then the client enters the game interface of the target game application according to the target game application selected by the user.

[0091] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the method further comprises:

[0092] Step 510, receiving a registration request sent by a client for a to-be-registered user.

[0093] Step 530, randomly generating a private key for the to-be-registered user according to the registration request.

[0094] Step 550, encrypting the private key by an elliptic curve encryption algorithm to obtain a public key.

[0095] Step 570, return the generated private key and public key to the client, and the client logs into the blockchain network through the public key and the private key.

[0096] As described above, if a user wants to log into the game application based on the blockchain network, the user needs to register in the blockchain network first.

[0097] After the node generates the private key and the public key for the user, the client where the user is located logs into the blockchain network through the private key and the public key. For example, the public key is used as the user's account, and the private key is used as the password for login.

[0098] In an embodiment, the private key of the user in the blockchain network is not public and needs to be kept secret. Therefore, the public key of the user can be used as the user identifier to obtain registration information and game records from the blockchain.

[0099] The private key and the public key generated by the node for the user are corresponding. Specifically, if a private key is used to sign a certain data, only the public key can be used to decrypt the signed data U; conversely, if a user's public key is used to encrypt a certain data, only the user's private key can be used to decrypt the encrypted data.

[0100] In an embodiment, the client can also be the client where the operator node is located. Thus, the user as an operator registers through steps 510-570 as described above, and obtains the private key and the public key correspondingly.

[0101] Thus, the user as an operator can publish game applications by logging into the blockchain network through his own public key and private key.

[0102] In an embodiment, the login request indicates the private key and the public key of the login user, as shown in Figure 6 After step 310, the method further includes:

[0103] Step 610, match and verify the private key and the public key indicated in the login request.

[0104] In the blockchain network, the private key of the user is not public. Therefore, the private key indicated in the login request in the login request is that a certain data in the login request is obtained by the private key of the user. In other words, the private key of the login user indicated in the login request is not explicitly indicated.

[0105] In an embodiment, the login request includes a signature data (assumed as data B) obtained by signing an initial data (assumed as data A) with the private key of the login user and the public key of the login user. The matching and verifying process in step 610 is:

[0106] Data B in the login request is decrypted using the login user's public key to obtain data C. Data C is then compared with data A. If data A and data C match, it is determined that the private key and public key of the login user indicated in the login request match. Otherwise, if data A and data C do not match, it is determined that the private key and public key of the login user indicated in the login request do not match.

[0107] If the verification confirms that the private key indicated in the login request matches the public key, then proceed to steps 330 and 350.

[0108] If the verification determines that the private key indicated in the login request does not match the public key, then proceed to step 630: reject the login request.

[0109] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, after step 550, the method further includes:

[0110] Step 710: Hash the public key to obtain the wallet address of the user to be registered.

[0111] Step 730: The registration information of the user to be registered is associated with the wallet address and written into the blockchain, and synchronized to other nodes in the blockchain network.

[0112] The specific process of step 710 is as follows: perform SHA-256 hash calculation on the public key to obtain the first hash value; perform RIPEMD-160 calculation on the first hash value to obtain the second hash value; perform SHA-256 hash calculation on the second hash value to obtain the third hash value; perform SHA-256 hash calculation on the third hash value again to obtain the fourth hash value; add the first few bytes of the third hash value, such as four bytes, to the end of the fourth hash value to obtain the wallet address of the user to be registered.

[0113] After generating a wallet address for a user, the user's game records and registration information can be associated with the wallet address and written into the blockchain. Thus, the user's registration information and game records can be retrieved from the blockchain.

[0114] It is worth mentioning that, based on the characteristics of elliptic curve cryptography and hash algorithms, the process by which a node generates a user's private key, public key, and wallet address is irreversible. In other words, although the generation process is to randomly generate a private key, generate a public key based on the private key, and generate a wallet address based on the public key, if the user's wallet address is known, the user's public key cannot be calculated in reverse; similarly, if the user's public key is known, the user's private key cannot be calculated in reverse.

[0115] Therefore, for users in a blockchain network, the private key is not public, while the public key and wallet address can be public.

[0116] In an embodiment, the age information comprises a registered age of the user, and the registration information further comprises a registration time, as shown in Figure 8 In step 330, a current game limit duration corresponding to the user identifier is determined according to a current system time and the age information included in the registration information, comprising:

[0117] In step 810, a time difference is calculated according to the registration time and the current time.

[0118] In step 830, a current age of the user is calculated according to the time difference and the registered age of the user.

[0119] In step 850, a game limit duration corresponding to the current age is determined according to the current age.

[0120] Up to now, the current age of the user corresponding to the current time of the login request is calculated according to the registration time in the registration information and the registered age of the user, and thus the game limit duration is determined according to the determined current age.

[0121] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 After step 410, the method further comprises:

[0122] In step 910, a game login request sent by the client is received, and the game login request indicates a target game application requested to be logged in.

[0123] In step 930, the client is controlled to log in to the target game application according to the game login request.

[0124] In this embodiment, after the client logs in to the blockchain network, the user can select a game application in a corresponding interface, and thus the node controls the client to log in to the target game application according to the target game application indicated by the game login request.

[0125] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 After step 930, the method further comprises:

[0126] In step 1010, a game start time and a game exit time of the client in the target game application are obtained according to a game exit instruction sent by the client.

[0127] After the client enters a game interface of the target game application, the client performs game monitoring correspondingly, and if the user starts the game, the game start time is recorded correspondingly; if the client exits the target game application is monitored, the exit time is recorded correspondingly.

[0128] Thus, after the client sends the game exit instruction to the node, the node can obtain the game start time and the exit time from the client correspondingly.

[0129] Step 1030, generating a game record according to the user identification, the game start time and the exit time.

[0130] Step 1050, publishing the generated game record into a record pool of the blockchain network, to wait for writing the generated game record into the blockchain.

[0131] In an embodiment, step 1050 further comprises:

[0132] hashing the game record to obtain a digest;

[0133] signing the digest by a private key of the node to obtain signature data;

[0134] generating publishing data from the game record, the signature data and a public key of the node;

[0135] temporarily storing the publishing data into the record pool of the blockchain network, to wait for writing the game record in the publishing data into the blockchain.

[0136] Through the above process, after the node obtains the publishing data in the record pool, the node can verify the game record in the publishing data based on the game record in the publishing data, the public key of the node and the signature data, to determine whether the game record in the publishing data is tampered with, if tampered with, the game record in the publishing data is not written into the blockchain, otherwise, if not tampered with, the game record in the publishing data is written into the blockchain.

[0137] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 11 the method further comprises:

[0138] Step 1110, obtaining a to-be-processed game record from a record pool of the blockchain network.

[0139] Step 1130, filtering invalid game records in the to-be-processed game record to obtain a game record to be written into the blockchain, the invalid game record being a game record with a single game duration lower than a set duration.

[0140] The set duration can be set according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited here, for example, the set duration is 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.

[0141] By filtering the invalid game record, the obtained game record to be written into the blockchain is a game record with a single game duration not lower than the set duration.

[0142] Step 1150, constructing a block according to the game record to be written into the blockchain.

[0143] Step 1170, linking the block to the blockchain and synchronizing in the blockchain network.

[0144] In an embodiment, the carrier of the game record existing in the record pool is a publishing data, the publishing data including the game record, signature data corresponding to the game record, and a public key of a data publisher corresponding to the publishing data. Before step 1150, the method further includes verifying the game record to be written into the blockchain, and the verification process is as follows:

[0145] decrypting the signature data in the publishing data through the public key of the publisher in the publishing data to obtain decrypted data; and

[0146] performing a hash operation on the game record in the publishing data to obtain first data;

[0147] comparing the first data with the decrypted data, if the first data is consistent with the decrypted data, it indicates that the game record in the publishing data has not been tampered with, and then step 1150 is performed;

[0148] otherwise, if the first data is not consistent with the decrypted data, it indicates that the game record in the publishing data has been tampered with, and then the game record is discarded.

[0149] Through the above process, it is ensured that the game records written into the blockchain are all game records that have not been tampered with.

[0150] In step 1150, the data in a block can include multiple game records, and in a specific embodiment, the game records included in each block can be determined according to the data size set for the block.

[0151] The constructed block at least includes the hash value of the previous block, and the hash value and the timestamp of the current block, so that the constructed block is linked to the blockchain according to the timestamp of the block. After the constructed block is linked to the blockchain, the blockchain is synchronized to other nodes in the blockchain network.

[0152] The process of writing the registration information of the user into the blockchain is the same as the process of writing the game record into the blockchain, which is not described here.
