Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a method and device for allocating virtual resources, a storage medium, and a computer device. Background Art

[0002] In online games, setting up game activities to increase the player acquisition rate and retention rate is a common choice for game developers. For example, in a virtual resource allocation activity that "auctions" weapons and fashions in the game, the server determines the players who have successfully bid based on the real-time bidding data received during the bidding period. When there are many participating players and the bidding period is short, the server needs to receive a large amount of bidding data in a short period of time and perform calculations quickly, which places high demands on the network environment and puts a lot of computing pressure on the server. Another example is a virtual resource allocation activity that "snatches" weapons and fashions in the game. The first player who participates in the rush purchase after the rush purchase time starts will successfully purchase the virtual resources. When there are many participating players, the network environment is also required to be high, and the computing pressure on the server is high.

[0057] The drawings described herein are used to provide a further understanding of the present application and constitute a part of the present application. The illustrative embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are used to explain the present application and do not constitute an improper limitation on the present application. In the drawings:

[0061] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0062] In this embodiment, a method for allocating virtual resources is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] Step 101, receiving a first credential submission request for a first virtual resource to be allocated, and updating a target credential collection record corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated, wherein the target credential collection record includes the collected target credentials and their corresponding submission role information;

[0064] The embodiment of the present application is mainly applied to a game server. The game server can provide an allocation activity of a first virtual resource to be allocated, and publish the activity to a game client held by a player. The player can participate in the activity by submitting a virtual voucher in the game. In a specific application scenario, the allocation activity of the first virtual resource to be allocated can be a snap-up, lottery, auction, and other activities in the game. When the player participates in the activity in the game and submits a target voucher matching the activity, the game client generates a first voucher submission request corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated. After receiving the first voucher submission request, the game server updates the target voucher collection situation corresponding to the virtual resource, wherein the target voucher collection situation can be recorded in the target voucher collection record, and the record records the game character information participating in the activity. Since the player participates in the allocation activity of the first virtual resource to be allocated by submitting the target voucher in the game, the record can specifically record the collected target vouchers corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated and the submitted character information corresponding to each collected target voucher. For example, in the game, game character A participates in the allocation activity of a certain game prop by submitting a target voucher, and the target voucher collection record of the game prop allocation activity can record that game character A submitted a target voucher.

[0065] Step 102, verifying whether the collected target credentials meet a preset allocation condition corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated according to the target credential collection record;

[0066] After each update of the target voucher collection record, the target vouchers collected in the record can be verified to verify whether the currently collected target vouchers meet the preset allocation condition corresponding to the first resource to be allocated. For example, the preset allocation condition can be the number of voucher collections, that is, when the collected target vouchers reach the corresponding number of voucher collections, the allocation condition is determined to be satisfied. For another example, the preset allocation condition can also be the number of participants, that is, when the submitted roles reach the corresponding number of participants, the allocation condition is determined to be satisfied.

[0067] Step 103: If the conditions are met, a target allocation role in the submitted role is determined according to a preset resource allocation rule, and the first virtual resource to be allocated is allocated to the target allocation role.

[0068] After verifying that the collected target credentials meet the preset allocation conditions, the first resource to be allocated can be allocated. Specifically, a target allocation role can be selected from each submitted role in the record according to the preset preset resource allocation rule for allocation. Of course, if the first resource to be allocated includes multiple ones, a corresponding number of target allocation roles can also be selected for allocation. Taking the first resource to be allocated as a game prop as an example, the preset resource allocation rule can be to randomly select a submitted role as the target allocation role for game prop allocation; it can also be to randomly select a collected target credential and use the submitted role corresponding to the target credential as the target allocation role for game prop allocation (specifically, when updating the target credential collection record, each newly added target credential can be encoded, and the submitted role information corresponding to each encoded target credential can be recorded to achieve the effect of determining the target allocation role through the selected collected target credential).

[0069] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, when the game server receives the first credential submission request corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated, the target credential collection record corresponding to the resource is updated to realize the storage of the collected target credentials and submitted role information, and after the target credential collection record is updated, it is verified whether the first virtual resource to be allocated meets the corresponding preset allocation conditions according to the record, so that when the first virtual resource to be allocated meets the preset allocation conditions, according to the preset resource allocation rules, the target allocation role is selected from the submitted roles and the resource allocation is performed. Compared with the virtual resource allocation methods such as real-time bidding and lottery in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application help to reduce the performance overhead of the server, reduce the computing pressure of the server, reduce the requirements for the network environment, improve the fairness of the allocation of game virtual resources, and improve the game experience of players.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the preset allocation condition includes the number of vouchers collected corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated; "updating the target voucher collection record corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated" in step 101 may specifically include: determining the requested role information corresponding to the first voucher submission request, and querying whether the submitted role includes the requested role; if the submitted role does not include the requested role, deducting the target voucher from the game account of the requested role, and updating the target voucher collection record.

[0071] In this embodiment, taking the preset allocation condition as the number of vouchers collected as an example, in order to improve player participation and ensure the number of participants, it can be stipulated that each game character can only submit a voucher once. Specifically, it can be limited to only one voucher submitted each time or a maximum of n vouchers can be submitted. When the first voucher submission request is received and the target voucher collection record is updated, the requesting role information corresponding to the first voucher submission request is first determined, and then it is determined whether the requesting role has submitted the voucher based on the submitted role information in the record. If the requesting role has not submitted the voucher, that is, the submitted role does not include the requesting role, the corresponding target voucher is deducted from the game account of the requesting role, for example, one target voucher is deducted, and the target voucher collection record is updated.

[0072] Further, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiment, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, another method for allocating virtual resources is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0073] Step 201: Determine a collection reminder time for the first to-be-allocated virtual resources according to the collection start time of the first to-be-allocated virtual resources.

[0074] Step 202: receiving a first credential submission request for a first virtual resource to be allocated, and updating a target credential collection record corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated.

[0075] Step 203, if the first virtual resource to be allocated has not been allocated when the collection reminder time arrives, then under the authorization of the target submission role, an inquiry message is sent to the authorization role corresponding to the target submission role to inquire whether the authorization role agrees to submit the target credential to participate in the first resource allocation activity of the first virtual resource to be allocated.

[0076] In step 201 to step 203, when the first resource allocation activity corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated starts, the collection reminder time can be determined according to the collection start time corresponding to the activity. After the activity starts, the game server can receive the first credential submission request in real time and update the target credential collection record. If the time reaches the collection reminder time, but the virtual resource does not meet the corresponding preset allocation conditions, under the authorization of the submitting character, an inquiry message can be sent to the friends of the submitting character, the same sect, family, etc. and the authorized role corresponding to the submitting character to ask whether the authorized role participates in the first resource allocation activity, so as to avoid the activity being unable to meet the allocation conditions for a long time. The authorization of the submitting character can be authorized at the same time as the first credential is submitted, for example, when submitting the request to participate in the activity, the option of allowing friends to be asked whether to participate in the activity is checked. The authorization of the submitting character can also be authorized after the collection reminder time when the server sends the authorization inquiry message to the submitting character, and the authorization is realized under the confirmation of the submitting character.

[0077] Step 204, receiving a second credential submission request from the authorization role, and updating the target credential collection record, wherein the target credential collection record also includes associated role information corresponding to the submitting role, the authorization role is an associated role of the target submitting role and / or the target submitting role is an associated role of the authorization role.

[0078] Step 205, based on the target credential collection record, verify whether the collected target credential meets the preset allocation condition corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated; if so, determine the target allocation role in the submitted role according to the preset resource allocation rule, and allocate the first virtual resource to be allocated to the target allocation role.

[0079] Step 206: If the target assigned role corresponds to an associated role, a first participation reward resource is allocated to the associated role corresponding to the target assigned role.

[0080] In step 204 to step 206, after receiving the second credential submission request of the authorized role, the target credential collection record is updated, and the associated role corresponding to the submitted role can also be recorded in the target credential record. In the actual application scenario, in order to encourage users to invite each other to participate in the activity, if the authorized role corresponding to the submitted role participates in the activity under the invitation of the submitted role, the authorized role can be recorded as the associated role of the submitted role, or the submitted role can be recorded as the associated role of the authorized role. After determining the target assigned role, if the target assigned role corresponds to an associated role, a certain reward can be issued to the associated role, that is, the first participation reward resource is allocated to the associated role. For example, game character A participates in the first resource allocation activity. When the collection start time arrives, the resource has not been allocated. With the authorization of game character A, an inquiry message is sent to its corresponding friend game character B, and game character B participates in the first resource allocation activity based on the inquiry message. If it is finally confirmed that game character A is the target allocation character, then a certain reward can also be issued to game character B to reward game character B for its contribution to the achievement of the allocation conditions. Of course, if it is finally confirmed that game character B is the target allocation character, then a certain reward can also be issued to game character A to reward game character A for its contribution to the achievement of the activity.

[0081] Step 207, allocate a second participation reward resource to other roles among the submitted roles except the target assigned role, wherein the value of the second participation reward resource is less than the value of the first participation reward resource; and / or, obtain the usage income information of the first virtual resource to be allocated by the target assigned role, and allocate additional income to other roles among the submitted roles except the target assigned role based on the usage income information, wherein the additional income is less than the usage income.

[0082] In step 207, after the first virtual resource to be allocated meets the allocation conditions, while allocating the first virtual resource to be allocated to the target allocation role, a certain reward, i.e., the second participation reward resource, can also be allocated to other roles in the record except the target allocation role. In addition, after the target allocation role uses the first virtual resource to be allocated, a certain additional income can be allocated to other roles according to the income obtained by using the resource. For example, if the first virtual resource to be allocated is a "medicine bag", and the target allocation role can get 100 healing medicines by using the "medicine bag", then after the target allocation role uses the "medicine bag", the target allocation role gets 100 healing medicines, and 1 healing medicine will be allocated to each of the other roles. In this way, players in the game server are encouraged to participate in activities, server utilization is improved, and player gaming experience is enhanced.

[0083] Step 208: remove the first virtual resource to be allocated from the preset virtual resource set, obtain the second virtual resource to be allocated in the preset virtual resource set, and publish a second resource allocation activity corresponding to the second virtual resource to be allocated.

[0084] In step 208, all virtual resources planned to be allocated can be constructed as a preset virtual resource set. After the first virtual resource to be allocated is successfully allocated, the resource is removed from the set, and the next resource to be allocated, i.e., the second virtual resource to be allocated, is determined. Specifically, the allocation order of each virtual resource in the set can be limited (which can be set by the game developer or determined based on the player's historical participation in each virtual resource), or virtual resources can be randomly selected from the set for allocation. After the second virtual resource to be allocated is selected, the corresponding second resource allocation activity can be published in the game. The allocation method of the second virtual resource to be allocated in the game server can refer to the above-mentioned allocation method of the first virtual resource to be allocated.

[0085] Step 209: If all the virtual resources to be allocated are allocated within the preset resource allocation cycle, the resource allocation activity within the preset resource allocation cycle is terminated, and the preset virtual resource set is reset when the next resource allocation cycle arrives.

[0086] In step 209, the virtual resources to be allocated in each resource allocation cycle can be set. For example, one week is used as a resource allocation cycle. If all virtual resources to be allocated are allocated within one week, the resource allocation activity of this week ends, and the preset virtual resource set is reset in the next week, and the allocation activity of the virtual resources to be allocated in the preset virtual resource set is re-published. The preset virtual resource set corresponding to each preset allocation cycle can be the same, or different sets can be configured as the game is developed.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, before step 202, the following may also be included:

[0088] Step 210: Determine an end time for collecting the first virtual resources to be allocated according to the start time for collecting the first virtual resources to be allocated.

[0089] Step 211, if the first resource to be allocated is not allocated when the collection end time is reached, the first virtual resource to be allocated is removed from the preset virtual resource set, and according to the target credential collection record, the target credential is allocated to each submitting role or the target credential collection information is sent to each submitting role.

[0090] Step 212: Acquire a third virtual resource to be allocated in the preset virtual resource set, and publish a third resource allocation activity corresponding to the third virtual resource to be allocated.

[0091] In this embodiment, the collection end time of the first virtual resource to be allocated can also be determined. When the collection end time is reached, if the first virtual resource to be allocated has not been allocated, it is possible that the resource is not of interest to the player and the player is unwilling to participate in the activity. Therefore, the first resource allocation activity can be canceled, the first resource to be allocated is removed from the preset virtual resources, and the next allocated resource is selected from the set again, that is, the third virtual resource to be allocated, and the third resource allocation activity is released. In addition, when the first resource allocation activity is canceled, for the submitted character who has participated in the activity, the target voucher submitted by the submitted character can be compensated. Specifically, the target voucher can be directly allocated to the character backpack, or the target voucher collection information can be sent to the submitted character, and the submitted character can collect the target voucher according to the instructions of the target voucher collection information, such as collecting compensation at a designated NPC.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, step 210 also includes: if the first resource to be allocated is not allocated when the collection end time is reached, sending allocation failure information of the first resource to be allocated to the game client; the game client outputs secondary participation inquiry information for the first resource to be allocated, and based on the player's confirmation operation on the secondary participation inquiry information, generates secondary participation confirmation information corresponding to the first resource to be allocated; when the game client receives the resource allocation activity of the first resource to be allocated issued by the game server next time, sending a first credential submission request for the first virtual resource to be allocated to the game server.

[0093] In this embodiment, for a failed resource allocation activity, the client can record the failure and pop up a message asking the player whether he wants to participate in the activity next time it is released. After the user clicks to confirm, the submitted certificate is locked. The next time the server starts the crowdfunding activity for the first virtual resource to be allocated, the client can directly and automatically submit the target certificate. In this way, the player can automatically participate in the allocation activity of the first virtual resource to be allocated again without having to re-operate.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, before step 202, the following may also be included:

[0095] S1, determining at least one voucher adjustment time of the first virtual resource to be allocated according to the collection start time of the first virtual resource to be allocated;

[0096] S2, if the first resource to be allocated is not allocated when any voucher adjustment time is reached, adjusting the voucher collection quantity corresponding to the first virtual resource to be allocated according to a preset voucher adjustment rule, and verifying whether the collected target vouchers reach the adjusted voucher collection quantity, wherein the preset voucher adjustment rule includes at least one voucher reduction scale corresponding to the voucher adjustment time;

[0097] S3, if the collected target vouchers do not reach the adjusted voucher collection quantity, then when the first to-be-allocated resource is not allocated when the next voucher adjustment time arrives, the voucher collection quantity is readjusted according to the preset voucher adjustment rule until the first to-be-allocated resource is allocated or the collection end time is reached.

[0098] In the above embodiment, in order to further improve the success rate of the activity, at least one voucher adjustment time can be determined according to the collection start time of the first virtual resource to be allocated. For example, if the collection end time is 2 pm, three voucher adjustment times can be set, namely 1:30, 1:40, and 1:50. When the first voucher adjustment time is reached, for example, 1:30, if the first resource to be allocated has not been allocated, the voucher collection quantity corresponding to the preset allocation condition can be adjusted according to the preset voucher adjustment rule, and it can be verified whether the corresponding allocation condition is met after the adjustment, for example, by reducing 1%, or reducing 2 vouchers, etc. When the second voucher adjustment time is reached, for example, 1:40, if the first resource to be allocated has not been allocated, the voucher collection quantity can be adjusted continuously, and it can be verified whether the allocation condition is met. This is until the first resource to be allocated is allocated, or the collection end time is reached, or all voucher adjustment times have been adjusted in accordance with the voucher collection quantity. This reduces the cost of achieving the activity and improves the success rate of the activity.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, it may also include: sending pre-release information of resource allocation activity to a game client, wherein the pre-release information of resource allocation activity includes a plurality of virtual resources to be allocated that are planned to be allocated within a preset resource allocation cycle and a participation voucher identifier corresponding to each virtual resource to be allocated; receiving activity reservation information fed back by the game client, wherein the activity reservation information includes a target reservation role and a reserved virtual resource; when the allocation activity corresponding to the reserved virtual resource is released, deducting the participation voucher matching the reserved virtual resource from the target reservation role account, and updating the voucher collection record corresponding to the reserved virtual resource to record that the target reservation role information has participated in the allocation activity of the reserved virtual resource.

[0100] In this embodiment, the credentials required to be submitted for participating in each allocation activity of the resources to be allocated may be different. The game server may notify the client in advance of all virtual resources to be allocated in a preset resource allocation cycle (e.g., one week). Players may make activity reservations based on their existing credentials and the credentials required for these virtual resources to be allocated. Specifically, the existing credentials may be marked as a reservation state. When the server starts the allocation activity of this week, the client automatically submits the credentials in the reservation state to the server to participate in the activity based on the activity reservation information previously set by the player. For example, the virtual resources to be allocated in this week's virtual resource activity include props a, props b, and props c. Props a, b, and c require credentials 1, 2, and 3 to participate, respectively. The player already has credentials 2 and 3. When the player sees in the client that this week's activity is an allocation activity for props a, props b, and props c, the status of credentials 2 and 3 can be set to reservation. In this way, when the server releases the allocation activity of props b and c, the client can automatically submit credentials 2 and 3 to participate in the allocation activity of props b and c.
