[0002] With the continuous development of computer technology, cloud gaming, based on cloud computing, has become increasingly popular. In cloud gaming applications, game logic and rendering operations are performed in the cloud. The processed results are encoded into audio and video streams and transmitted to the terminal via the network. The terminal then uploads user operation information to the cloud.

[0035] The following detailed description of the technical solution of the present disclosure and how the technical solution of the present disclosure solves the above-mentioned technical problems is provided with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Cloud gaming, also known as game-on-demand, is an online gaming technology based on cloud computing. Cloud gaming technology enables user terminals with relatively limited graphics and data processing capabilities to run high-quality games. In cloud gaming scenarios, the game runs not on the user terminal itself, but on a cloud server. The cloud server renders the game scene into an audio and video stream, which is then transmitted to the user terminal via a network audio and video stream. The user terminal does not need powerful graphics and data processing capabilities; it only needs basic streaming media playback capabilities and the ability to receive user input commands and transmit them to the cloud server.

[0037] In order to better illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure, an application environment to which the cloud game operation method of the present solution can be applied is shown below.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1Schematic diagram of the cloud gaming operating system framework, which includes a user terminal 101 and a server 102, with the user terminal 101 and the server 102 establishing a communication connection via a network. The workflow of the cloud gaming operating system can be as follows: a user inputs a control operation into the user terminal 101, which generates an operation instruction based on the user input control operation and sends the operation instruction to the server 102. The server 102 parses the received operation instruction and obtains the game data corresponding to the operation instruction. Furthermore, the server 102 renders the screen based on the game data, generates corresponding video stream data, encodes the video stream data, and transmits it to the user terminal 101 via the network. The user terminal 101 decodes the received video stream data to obtain the game screen, which is displayed on the display interface of the user terminal 101.

[0039] Currently, cloud gaming mainly relies on servers to run the games. A large number of game applications are running on the servers, and the user terminals only need to obtain the game-related video stream data sent by the server and display the game screen corresponding to the received video stream.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a cloud game operating system in the related art. In the related art, the cloud game server architecture includes a host machine, a host operating system and a virtual machine. The host operating system is installed on the host machine (not shown). The host machine is located at the bottom of the cloud game server architecture and is an independent physical host. At least one virtual machine is installed on the host operating system to build multiple corresponding virtual operating systems through virtual machines, such as Figure 2 As shown, virtual machine 1 constructs virtual operating system 1, virtual machine 2 constructs virtual operating system 2, virtual machine 3 constructs virtual operating system 3, and so on, to achieve a one-to-one connection between the virtual operating system and the user terminal, so that the user terminal can call the system interface of the virtual operating system to realize the execution of related functions during the operation of the cloud game, such as: the collection, sending, processing and receiving of picture information, sound information and operation information.

[0041] In the above-mentioned related technologies, the installation and operation of each virtual machine and virtual operating system will occupy the server's memory, which limits the memory space and number of game applications running on the server, resulting in low resource utilization of the server's cloud game operation.

[0042] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cloud gaming operation solution that can reduce resource redundancy of the operating system, release more memory space, and improve resource utilization of cloud gaming operations.

[0043] The cloud game running method disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.

[0044] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a cloud game running method provided by an embodiment, and the cloud game running method can be executed by a server of a cloud game system.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cloud game running method may include the following steps:

[0046] S310: Receive a cloud game running request sent by a user terminal.

[0047] In this embodiment, each user terminal can request to run a different game and send a cloud game run request to the server. Different user terminals can request to run different game applications, such as user terminal A requesting to run game A, user terminal B requesting to run game B, etc. Different user terminals can also request to run the same game application, such as user terminal C and user terminal D both requesting to run game C.

[0048] In this embodiment, the game application requested to run by the user terminal calls the commonly used system ports required during the operation of the cloud game, such as the screen interface, sound interface, and interactive operation interface. Among them, the screen interface is the game screen display interface, which is used to call the relevant screen processing functions to realize the generation, processing and rendering of the game screen, etc.; the sound interface refers to the game sound playback interface, which is used to call the relevant sound processing functions to realize the synthesis, processing and playback of cloud game sounds, etc.; the interactive operation interface refers to the processing interface for the user's game operations, which is used to call the relevant operation processing functions to realize the reception and response of user operations of the cloud game, etc., such as interactive operations such as long pressing, clicking and sliding on the touch screen to represent forward, backward, flip and other operations in the game. Optionally, the system interface can be a GPU interface, a database interface, a network interface, etc.

[0049] The server receives cloud game execution requests from each user terminal. These requests carry information about the interface call, such as the name and address of the requested system interface, to identify the game application requested by the user terminal. The server parses the cloud game execution request and obtains the interface information, such as the name and address, of the system interface requested by the user terminal on the server operating system.

[0050] S320. Determine a target application interface corresponding to the cloud game running request from a pre-configured dynamic link library according to the cloud game running request.

[0051] In this embodiment, the Dynamic Link Library (DLL), or DLL file, includes various application interfaces and related functions related to cloud gaming, such as functions related to image processing, sound processing, and operation processing. Each application interface in the DLL file corresponds to a system interface on the operating system.

[0052] Optionally, the server obtains a locally uploaded dynamic link library to obtain a pre-configured dynamic link library. The dynamic link library is obtained by obtaining interface information of the system interface required to be called during the operation of the cloud game, creating an application programming interface library based on the interface information, and encoding the application programming interface library.

[0053] In the disclosed embodiment, the server's operating system is rewritten using Hook API technology. Hook API technology allows applications to intercept the actual operating system's system interface (i.e., system API) before calling it, performing some processing before calling the actual operating system's system API to complete the function. The API (Application Programming Interface) is the programming interface that the operating system provides to programmers, allowing user-level control of the operating system. In this embodiment, a game instance can call the operating system's system API to perform the corresponding target operation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the interface information of the system interfaces on the operating system that need to be called during the operation of each cloud game is obtained, such as the interface name and interface address of the system interface required to run cloud game A. The interface information of the system interfaces required to run multiple cloud games is integrated to create an application programming interface library, or API library. The API library contains various functional functions to meet different interface call requirements.

[0055] Since the API library is applicable to any game instance, this embodiment compiles the API library into a DLL file so that any game instance can load the DLL file to obtain related functional functions.

[0056] It should be noted that the DLL file is a rewrite of the system interface of the operating system. Optionally, the interface information in the DLL file covers the interface information of all system interfaces on the operating system, or it can be the interface information of a local system interface on the operating system. The local system interface refers to the system interface related to the operation of cloud games.

[0057] S330. Call the corresponding system interface on the same operating system based on the target application interface, so that the game instance corresponding to each user terminal executes the target operation corresponding to the cloud game running request through the system interface.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cloud game execution request sent by the user terminal is first processed by the DLL file before calling the target application interface of the operating system. The target application interface then calls the operating system's system interface to perform the corresponding target operation. Optionally, this system interface can be the same system interface on the same operating system, such as different game instances calling the same sound interface, or different system interfaces on the same operating system, such as the sound interface and the screen interface on the same operating system.

[0059] For example, game instance A calls the sound interface 1 on the operating system through a DLL file to obtain the sound effects when game A is running, and game instance B calls the same sound interface 1 on the operating system through a DLL file to obtain the sound effects when game B is running, and so on.

[0060] In related technologies, the same system interface of the same operating system will be called by game instances corresponding to cloud gaming applications requested to run by multiple user terminals. Once a system interface is called by a certain game instance, other game instances cannot call it. To this end, the existing technology uses virtualization technology to create multiple virtual machines on the operating system, and then installs an operating system on each virtual machine, so that multiple game instances call the interface on the operating system on the virtual machine to realize the call of the system interface. Multiple virtual machines and their operating systems cause large memory consumption. This solution uses the interface information of the system interface of the operating system to generate a DLL file, so that when multiple game instances need to call the system interface, each game instance loads the DLL file, and then calls the system interface corresponding to the operating system through the DLL, so that multiple game instances can call the system interface of the same operating system at the same time, so that the game instances corresponding to each user terminal can respectively perform corresponding target operations through the system interface.

[0061] The cloud game running method provided in this embodiment provides a pre-configured dynamic link library between the operating system and the user terminal, and calls the system interface of the operating system in the dynamic link library to enable multiple game instances to call the same system interface on the same operating system at the same time, thereby avoiding the installation and operation of multiple virtual operating systems, reducing the memory loss of multiple cloud game runtime servers, and improving memory utilization.

[0062] In order to make this technical solution clearer and easier to understand, the specific implementation process and method of this technical solution are described in detail below.

[0063] In one embodiment, determining the interface information of the system interface on the operating system according to the cloud game execution request in step S310 may include the following steps:

[0064] S3101. Determine the game instance requested to be run by the user terminal based on the cloud game running request.

[0065] In this embodiment, multiple different game applications are installed on the server. When a user initiates a cloud game execution request through a user terminal, the server parses the cloud game execution request, determines the game application requested by each user terminal based on the game identifier carried in the cloud game execution request, and then executes the relevant game application.

[0066] S3102: Obtain game configuration information corresponding to the game instance from a preset configuration information table, and determine interface information of a system interface on the operating system that the user terminal requests to call based on the game configuration information.

[0067] In this embodiment, a configuration information table is stored on the server. This table records the game configuration information corresponding to each game instance. For example, the game configuration information may include the interface names and parameters required for running the game instance. The game configuration information can be used to determine the interface information of the system interface on the operating system that the game instance needs to call during operation.

[0068] S3103. Determine the target application interface corresponding to the cloud game running request from the pre-configured dynamic link library based on the interface information.

[0069] The DLL library, or DLL file, includes various application interfaces and related functions related to cloud gaming, such as those related to image processing, sound processing, and user interaction processing. The system interface on the operating system corresponds to each application interface in the DLL file. The target application interface corresponding to the DLL library corresponding to the system interface on the operating system is determined based on the interface name and parameters recorded in the game configuration information, allowing the user terminal to call the system interface on the operating system through this target application interface.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, game configuration information of a game instance is pre-set; wherein the game configuration information includes interface information of a system interface that the game instance needs to call.

[0071] For example, it is pre-set that the sound interface that game instance A needs to call is system interface A on the operating system, the screen interface that needs to be called is system interface B on the operating system, and the operation interface that needs to be called is system interface C on the operating system. According to the game configuration information of the game instance, when game instance A is running, it needs to call system interface A to perform sound processing functions, system interface B to perform screen processing functions, and system interface C to perform operation processing functions, etc.

[0072] Furthermore, the game configuration information can be associated with the game instance corresponding to the game to obtain a configuration information table.

[0073] Optionally, each game instance and its corresponding game configuration information are associated to obtain a configuration information table. In the configuration information table, each game instance and its corresponding game configuration information are mapped one-to-one. Game instances and their corresponding game configuration information can be associated using a set keyword or label. When the server determines that a user terminal has requested to run the game instance, it obtains the keyword or symbol corresponding to the game instance and, through the association relationship in the configuration information table, retrieves the keyword or symbol to obtain the corresponding game configuration information.

[0074] In one embodiment, before determining the corresponding target application interface from the pre-configured dynamic link library according to the interface information in step S320, the following steps are further included:

[0075] S320a. Create a corresponding game instance according to the cloud game running request, and load the dynamic link library into the game instance.

[0076] When the server receives a cloud game running request sent by a user terminal, it starts to create a game instance and runs the corresponding game instance. In this embodiment, the server creates multiple game instances corresponding to multiple cloud game running requests. Each game instance is independent of each other and does not affect each other.

[0077] The DLL file is loaded into each game instance so that each game instance runs the same DLL file, wherein the DLL file records the functions required for the system interface call.

[0078] Furthermore, determining the corresponding target application interface from the pre-configured dynamic link library according to the interface information in step S320 may include the following steps:

[0079] S3201. Obtain an interface identifier corresponding to the system interface requested for invocation according to the interface information.

[0080] Establish the correspondence between the interface identifier, the application interface in the DLL file, and the system interface in advance, and read the target interface identifier corresponding to the system interface indicated in the cloud game running request when receiving the cloud game running request.

[0081] S3202: Query each application interface in the dynamic link library in the game instance, and determine the application interface corresponding to the interface identifier as the target application interface.

[0082] In each independent game instance, from the interface identifiers and application interfaces with corresponding relationships, each application interface in the DLL file is queried to determine the target system interface corresponding to the target interface identifier.

[0083] In one embodiment, step S330 calls a corresponding system interface on the same operating system based on the target application interface, so that the game instance corresponding to each user terminal performs the corresponding target operation through the system interface, which may include the following steps:

[0084] S3301. Load the function corresponding to the target application interface to call the system interface corresponding to the operating system through the function.

[0085] The DLL file contains a variety of function functions, which correspond to the functions implemented by different application interfaces. In this embodiment, the function function corresponding to the target application interface is loaded, and the system interface corresponding to the operating system is called through the function function.

[0086] S3302. In response to the cloud game running request, use the system interface to execute the target operations corresponding to the game instance respectively, and return the execution results of the target operations to the corresponding user terminal.

[0087] For example, the target operation of the cloud game running request of game instance A is to render a certain game screen. Then system interface B executes the target operation, and after obtaining the execution result of rendering the game screen, it encodes and packages the game screen and returns it to the corresponding user terminal to display the game screen through the display interface of the user terminal.

[0088] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cloud gaming system provided by an embodiment. Figure 4As shown, an API library is pre-configured. The API library can be a DLL file, so that the API library can be loaded into the corresponding game instance. In this embodiment, running the corresponding function of each game application creates a corresponding game instance. In the operating system, each game instance corresponds to a game process. Each game instance runs the API library in the corresponding game process to call the system interface on the operating system through the functional functions contained in the API library. For example, if the API library is loaded into game instances 1, 2, and 3 respectively, game instance 1 uses its corresponding API library to call the system interface on the operating system, game instance 2 uses its corresponding API library to call the system interface on the same operating system, and game instance 3 uses its corresponding API library to call the system interface on the same operating system. This eliminates the need to use virtualization technology to build multiple virtual operating systems to call the system interface on the same operating system, thus avoiding the occupation of memory resources by multiple virtual operating systems.
