Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method and device for allocating item permissions, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, today's online game industry is booming. Games are a good way to entertain yourself after work and life. The size of the game market has maintained continuous growth, and the revenue in the game market has also increased year by year. However, behind the hot development of games, the industry still has many problems, such as merchants constantly launching expensive props, which makes users unable to afford it financially, and the high payment threshold for game experience leads to user loss and insufficient user stickiness, which makes many games unable to survive in the long run.

[0003] In related technologies, in-game props can only be purchased in full or synthesized once, resulting in a low usage rate for props. Players must have sufficient purchasing power to use props, and the acquisition cycle for ordinary players is long. Only high-end players can play, which affects the circulation rate of props. On the other hand, when the system assigns permissions to virtual props, as long as the virtual character obtains the prop, it will obtain all permissions. The allocation of permissions is not detailed enough, and virtual props cannot be used efficiently in game scenarios.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been found for the above-mentioned problems existing in the related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Optionally, the input and output device 108 further includes a human-computer interaction screen for obtaining human-computer interaction instructions through a human-computer interaction interface and for presenting images in the online game scene;

[0046] In this embodiment, a method for allocating prop permissions is provided. Figure 2: is a flowchart of a method for allocating prop permissions according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S202: receiving a request from a virtual character to obtain a first virtual item in a game scene, wherein the request is used to request to use the first virtual item in stages;

[0048] Optionally, the game scene includes multiple virtual characters, which can be controlled by user operations or system AI to move in a virtual scene such as the game scene. The virtual characters can be controlled by the user, such as the PCC (Player-Controlled Character) in the virtual game scene controlled by the main control player.

[0049] Optionally, virtual props can be game elements that can be used by virtual characters in game scenes, such as weapons, armor, vehicles, decorations, etc.

[0050] Step S204, determining whether the virtual character has full control authority over the second virtual prop in the game scene, wherein the second virtual prop is a lower-level version of the first virtual prop;

[0051] In this embodiment, the game server can assign two types of permissions to virtual props, namely full control permission (unlimited use permission) and limited use permission. If the virtual character has full control permission, he can unlock all functions of the virtual props (including trading and transferring virtual props, etc.) and use them at any time.

[0052] Step S206: If the virtual character has full control authority over the second virtual item in the game scene, the first virtual item and the corresponding limited usage authority are allocated to the virtual character.

[0053] In this embodiment, the limited usage rights may include, but are not limited to: limited usage duration, some attributes of all attributes of the virtual item, and limited usage (such as number of times).

[0054] Through the above steps, a request for obtaining a first virtual item in a game scene is received from a virtual character, wherein the request for obtaining is used to request phased use of the first virtual item; it is determined whether the virtual character has full control authority over a second virtual item in the game scene, wherein the second virtual item is a low-level version of the first virtual item; if the virtual character has full control authority over the second virtual item in the game scene, the first virtual item and the corresponding limited usage authority are allocated to the virtual character; based on the virtual character's full control authority over the low-level items in the game scene, the virtual character is allocated limited usage authority over the corresponding high-level items, thereby achieving refined allocation of item permissions, improving the efficiency of allocating item usage permissions, and solving the technical problem of low efficiency in allocating item permissions in related technologies. At the same time, the difficulty and threshold of using high-level items in the game scene are reduced, thereby improving the circulation rate and usage rate of high-level items.

[0055] In this embodiment, allocating limited usage rights of a first virtual item to a virtual character includes: receiving a first virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item; and unlocking limited usage rights of the first virtual item for the virtual character in a first phase based on the acquisition request and the first virtual resource. The limited usage rights of the first virtual item in the first phase are unlocked for the virtual character when the amount of the first virtual resource is greater than or equal to a preset amount, the preset amount being less than the amount of virtual resources required to transfer to unlock full control rights over the first virtual item.

[0056] Optionally, allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual item to the virtual character includes: receiving a mortgage request for the second virtual item, switching the virtual character's full control rights over the second virtual item to mortgage rights; receiving a first virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item; and unlocking limited usage rights of the first virtual item in the first stage for the virtual character based on the mortgage rights of the second virtual item and the first virtual resource.

[0057] When the user player of the virtual character wants to obtain a high-level prop (such as the first virtual prop in this embodiment), he can use the low-level props he already holds as collateral, initiate a collateral request to the application store or trading platform in the game scene, use the second virtual prop as virtual collateral, and transfer the first virtual resource at the same time. The first virtual resource can be virtual gold coins and virtual handling fees used to pay the down payment.

[0058] In some cases, if the virtual character does not have corresponding low-level props, it is also possible to obtain limited use rights of high-level props after paying virtual resources with the same amount of down payment and handling fee as the low-level props.

[0059] In some examples, after unlocking the limited usage rights of the first virtual prop for the virtual character in the first stage based on the acquisition request and the first virtual resource, it also includes: receiving the second virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop, wherein the second virtual resource is a successor resource of the first virtual resource; and unlocking the limited usage rights of the first virtual prop for the virtual character in the second stage based on the second virtual resource.

[0060] In this example, the limited usage rights for a first virtual item include multiple stages, and the scope of limited usage rights for each stage can be the same or different. After receiving the first virtual resource corresponding to the first stage (optionally, a pledge request for a second virtual item is also received simultaneously), the player can transfer the virtual resource for the next stage in advance so that the first virtual item can continue to be used after the current stage is completed. Optionally, the number of stages of limited usage rights can be limited or unlimited. After transferring the virtual resource for the last stage, the virtual character can fully obtain the first virtual item, and the game server assigns it full control rights.

[0061] In some embodiments, receiving a second virtual resource transferred by a virtual character for a first virtual item includes: monitoring the transfer time of the second virtual resource in real time within the current game scene; if the transfer time is reached, popping up a prompt message within the current game scene, wherein the prompt message prompts the virtual character to transfer the second virtual resource corresponding to the first virtual item; detecting a transfer instruction in the prompt message, and receiving the second virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item based on the transfer instruction. Optionally, when the prompt message pops up, if the virtual character possesses the second virtual resource and a transfer instruction is detected in the prompt message, the second virtual resource is deducted from the virtual character's corresponding account, while the current game continues to run, without requiring an interface jump to transfer the second virtual resource, thereby avoiding suspending or ending the current game.

[0062] In the current game scene, users can automatically transfer virtual resources directly on the prompt page without interrupting their game operation. For example, if the virtual character is fighting an NPC in the current game scene and the time for transferring the second virtual resource has arrived, a prompt message for transferring the second virtual resource can be displayed in the form of a control on the terminal display interface. After the user confirms, the second virtual resource is directly deducted from the account.

[0063] In some embodiments, receiving the first virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop includes: forwarding an acquisition request to several business support servers, wherein the business support servers are used to provide support services for the first virtual prop based on the acquisition request; receiving multiple support service options respectively fed back by several business support servers and providing them to the virtual character; detecting the target confirmation option selected by the virtual character from the multiple support service options, and sending a confirmation message to the business support server corresponding to the target confirmation option; receiving the target virtual resource corresponding to the first virtual prop from the business support server corresponding to the target confirmation option, wherein the target virtual resource includes the first virtual resource.

[0064] Several business support servers are used to provide the function of pre-transferring virtual resources for the game account corresponding to the virtual character. After the user initiates a request to obtain the first virtual prop, several business support servers provide several optional support service options based on the user's acquisition request. The user can choose one to use the support service provided by the business support server, and the business support server will transfer the target virtual resources to the game server. The target virtual resources may include the first virtual resource and the virtual resources required to transfer with full control authority over the first virtual prop (it is agreed between the business support server and the game server that the business support service can transfer virtual resources of all stages to the game server at one time, or transfer virtual resources required for the next stage before the end of each stage), so that the virtual character has limited use rights to the first virtual prop in the first stage.

[0065] Optionally, after receiving the target virtual resource corresponding to the first virtual item from the business support server corresponding to the target confirmation option, the solution of this embodiment further includes: receiving a notification message forwarded by the business support server corresponding to the target confirmation option, and popping up the notification message in the current game scene, wherein the notification message is used to notify the game account to which the virtual character belongs to transfer the target virtual resource to the business support server corresponding to the target confirmation option within a preset transfer time. The game account to which the virtual character belongs needs to transfer the first virtual resource to the business support server within the preset transfer time, and can also continue to transfer the second virtual resource to the business support server before the expiration of the first phase of use to obtain limited usage rights in the second phase.

[0066] Optionally, the solution of this embodiment also includes: the game server obtains the operation behavior information of the game account corresponding to the virtual character in other virtual games, wherein the operation behavior information includes at least one of the following: the behavior of purchasing props, the behavior of using props in stages; based on the operation behavior information, the game account is pushed the acquisition method information corresponding to the first virtual prop in the current virtual game, wherein the acquisition method information includes at least one of the following: the total number of stages of the limited use stage corresponding to the first virtual prop, the virtual resources required to be transferred in each stage and the corresponding transfer time, etc.

[0067] The above solution can be implemented through an application independent of the game application. This application can collect the user's payment behavior, installment behavior, etc. in multiple virtual games, and then determine in this game whether the game account can purchase virtual props in stages, as well as the number of stages, based on the user's historical behavior in other game applications.

[0068] Optionally, the game server is connected to a business support server, and receiving the first virtual resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop includes: receiving the target virtual resource transferred by the business support server, and the business support server pre-transferring the target virtual resources including the first virtual resource for the virtual character for the first virtual prop, wherein the business support server is connected to multiple game servers. In the application interface provided by the business support server, the user's use of virtual props in multiple games in stages and the corresponding virtual resources that need to be transferred in each stage are displayed; the user can directly transfer the virtual resources that need to be transferred corresponding to the virtual props in a certain game in the application interface, and can realize the one-time transfer of the virtual resources that need to be transferred corresponding to the virtual props in multiple games without having to enter the corresponding game software to transfer them separately.

[0069] Optionally, after allocating the first virtual item and the corresponding limited usage rights to the virtual character, the method further includes: after the virtual resources of all limited usage stages of the first virtual item have been transferred, allocating the first virtual item and the corresponding unlimited usage rights to the virtual character, receiving a transfer request from the virtual character to transfer the first virtual item in stages, and pushing the transfer request to other virtual characters. After the user has transferred all the virtual resources required for each stage of the virtual item obtained through staged use, or the user has directly purchased the virtual item in full, the user can choose to sell the virtual item to other players in stages, thereby realizing the recycling of the virtual item and improving the usage rate of the virtual item.

[0070] Optionally, during the limited usage rights phase of the first virtual item, the solution further includes: responding to a maintenance notification from the game server and performing one of the following: terminating the limited usage rights of the first virtual item and refunding the virtual resources of each stage to which the first virtual item has been transferred to the virtual character; or pushing compensation resources to the virtual character until the game server returns to normal. During the maintenance period of the game server, users cannot normally use the first virtual item that has been purchased in stages. There are two ways to handle this: refunding the virtual resources previously paid by the user and ending the limited usage rights of the virtual item; or providing the user with compensation during the maintenance period, allowing the user to continue using the virtual item and resume repayment.

[0071] Optionally, the game server can also control the limited use rights of multiple virtual characters to use the first virtual item. The solution also includes: counting the number of acquisition requests for the first virtual item; if the number of acquisition requests is greater than a preset value, reducing the number of first virtual items provided to all virtual characters and the scope of the corresponding limited use rights (the scope of the limited use rights can be the duration of the usage phase corresponding to the valid rights, the amount of use of the first virtual item during the usage phase, etc.), or increasing the amount of virtual resources required to transfer the first virtual item in each phase, advancing the transfer time of the virtual resources in each phase, etc., thereby effectively controlling the scope of use of the first virtual item by limiting the range of users who can use the first virtual item in phases.

[0072] In some examples of this embodiment, after assigning limited usage rights to the first virtual prop to the virtual character, it also includes: detecting the operation behavior triggered by the virtual character on the first virtual prop; judging whether the operation behavior is within the scope of the limited usage rights; if the operation behavior is not within the scope of the limited usage rights, rejecting the operation behavior.

[0073] The scope of optional, limited-use permissions does not include trading permissions, mortgage permissions, transfer permissions, etc.

[0074] In other examples of this embodiment, after allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character, it also includes: detecting an upgrade instruction for the first virtual prop triggered by the virtual character; determining whether the virtual character has full control rights over the first virtual prop in the game; if the virtual character has full control rights over the first virtual prop in the game, upgrading the first virtual prop to a third virtual prop, wherein the third virtual prop is a higher-level version of the first virtual prop.

[0075] In one example, if a user player's virtual character already has a second virtual item, which is a level 7 item, and wants to obtain the first virtual item, which is a high-end level 8 item, the user player uses the level 7 item as collateral and pays the virtual currency corresponding to the down payment and handling fee, as well as virtual resources such as the item materials, to obtain temporary use rights to the level 8 item. The user player can use the level 8 item on a limited basis and can further strengthen and transform the level 8 item. After the virtual character gives up midway and no longer transfers virtual resources to the next stage, the game server reclaims the level 8 item and returns the level 7 item to the virtual character, as well as virtual resources such as the item materials that have been transferred in the previous stage. The handling fee and virtual currency may not be returned. Before the level 8 item is fully obtained, the level 8 item cannot be traded or mortgaged, or other operations within full control authority.

[0076] In some examples of this embodiment, after allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character, it also includes: determining whether the virtual character meets the preset renewal conditions within the limited usage time of the first virtual prop; if the virtual character does not meet the preset renewal conditions within the limited usage time of the first virtual prop, terminating the virtual character's limited usage rights to the first virtual prop; if the virtual character meets the preset renewal conditions within the limited usage time of the first virtual prop, allocating full control rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character.

[0077] In this example, the preset renewal condition can be whether virtual resources are transferred to the game server, which is equivalent to transferring virtual resources at different stages. Players transfer the remaining virtual resources of the first virtual item in stages according to the period of staged virtual resource transfer. If all virtual resources are transferred on time, the virtual character can permanently obtain the high-level item. If the player abandons the game midway and cannot pay the virtual resources for a certain stage in time, the high-level item and the right to use it will be reclaimed, and the previously pledged low-level items and part of the virtual resources will be returned. In addition, the preset renewal condition can also include whether the virtual character's attribute information meets the preset conditions, such as the character's level, whether it has associated items that match the first virtual item, whether it has unlocked the level that matches the first virtual item, whether it has completed the preset operation using the first virtual item, etc.

[0078] In this embodiment, the limited usage period is a preset time period after the limited usage rights are first assigned to the virtual character. The preset time period may be determined by the game server based on the item type of the first virtual item and / or the amount of the first virtual resource. The server may determine whether to terminate the limited usage rights of the first virtual item to the virtual character or to pre-assign full control rights to the first virtual item based on whether various attributes such as the total amount of virtual resources transferred by the virtual character during the limited usage period, the amount and time of each transfer, and whether various attributes such as unlocked levels and completed preset operations meet preset renewal conditions.

[0079] In this embodiment, the limited usage permission of the first virtual item may be multiple types of limited usage permission, which can be adapted and applied to different virtual items in different scenarios.

[0080] In one implementation of this embodiment, allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character includes: allocating temporary usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character for a first time period; before the end of the first time period, determining whether a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop has been received; if a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop has been received, continuing to allocate temporary usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character for a second time period.

[0081] In an example, in units of days, each period is 3 days, the first period is from the 1st day to the 3rd day, and the second period is from the 4th day to the 6th day. Before the end of the 3rd day, it is determined whether the renewal resources transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop are received. The renewal resources can be set with a minimum amount, such as 100 corresponding to the temporary use rights of a unit period. If the renewal resources transferred before the end of the 3rd day are greater than or equal to 100, the temporary use rights of the first virtual prop from the 4th day to the 6th day will continue to be allocated to the virtual character.

[0082] Optionally, after allocating temporary usage rights of the first virtual item in the first time period to the virtual character, the method further includes: updating the remaining time of the first time period in real time; configuring the remaining time in the description information of the first virtual item, and displaying the remaining time in the description information display interface of the first virtual item.

[0083] Based on the above example, during the first time period, the start time of the first day (such as 00:00) is used as the first reference time, and the end time of the third day (such as 24:00) is used as the second reference time. The current system time is obtained in real time, and the difference between the second reference time and the current system time is calculated to obtain the remaining duration of the first time period. If the current system time is 12:00 on the second day, the remaining duration is 1 day and 12 hours. The remaining duration can be displayed in the descriptive information display interface such as above the head of the virtual character in the game scene or around the first virtual prop to remind the user that the usage right of the first virtual prop is about to expire. Figure 3 2 is a schematic diagram of displaying the remaining time in a game scene according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] In one implementation of this embodiment, allocating limited usage rights of a first virtual item to a virtual character includes: unlocking unlimited usage rights of a first attribute of the first virtual item for the virtual character during a first limited usage phase; before the end of the first limited usage phase, determining whether a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item has been received; if a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item has been received, continuing to unlock unlimited usage rights of a second attribute of the first virtual item for the virtual character during a second limited usage phase, and maintaining unlimited usage rights of the first attribute.

[0085] In one example, the first virtual item includes M (M is an integer greater than 1) attributes (such as attack attributes, defense attributes, increased health points, etc.), taking M=5 as an example, within the first limited use phase, the first attribute of the first virtual item is unlocked, such as the first cycle time is the cycle of the limited use phase, that is, the time of each installment or the time of each renewal phase, corresponding to the mortgage installment repayment in the related art, each cycle time is generally 1 month, and the cycle time of this embodiment can be selected from several days or several hours, etc. The cycle of the first limited use phase is 2 days. Before the end of the second day, it is determined whether the renewal resources transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual item are received. If sufficient renewal resources are received, the second attribute is unlocked. During the second limited use permission cycle, the virtual character can use the first attribute and the second attribute of the first virtual item until all attribute items of the first virtual item are unlocked.

[0086] Optionally, after a player temporarily obtains a high-level item, the game server can unlock some of the high-level functions or high-level effects of the high-level item for the player, and as the virtual resources transferred in each stage accumulate, more high-level functions will be unlocked until all are unlocked.

[0087] In one example, the limited usage right is an unlocked attribute value, and allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character includes: determining the current limited usage stage N of the first virtual prop, and using the following formula to unlock the attribute value M corresponding to the limited usage right of the current limited usage stage: M=A+N*B, where A is the highest attribute value of the second virtual prop, and B is the unit attribute value allocated for each limited usage stage.

[0088] For example, a high-level item releases 1000 attack power in one attack (low-level items release 500). After temporarily obtaining a high-level item, 500+N*100 attack power is unlocked for it, where N is the number of stages in which virtual resources have been transferred.

[0089] In one implementation of this embodiment, allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character includes: allocating temporary usage rights of the first virtual prop for a first duration within a first preset period to the virtual character; before the end of the first preset period, determining whether a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop is received; if a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop is received, continuing to allocate temporary usage rights of the first virtual prop for a second duration within a second preset period to the virtual character, wherein the second duration is greater than or equal to the first duration, and the second duration is less than or equal to the duration of the second preset period.

[0090] In one example, the first duration and the second duration are the total cumulative usage duration within the corresponding preset period, or the total daily usage duration within the corresponding preset period. Taking the first preset period as 1 day as an example, the second preset period is 4 days, the first duration is 2 hours, and the second duration is 4 hours. The virtual character can only use the first virtual prop for 2 hours per day on the first day. Before the end of the first day, it is determined whether the renewal resources transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop are received. If sufficient renewal resources are received, a 4-hour usage right is allocated to it. The virtual character can use the first virtual prop for 4 hours per day from the 2nd to the 5th day, or can use the first virtual prop for a total of 4 hours until the first virtual prop can be used all day.

[0091] On the other hand, after a player temporarily obtains a high-level item, the game server can unlock a portion of the item's usability for them. As virtual resources are transferred at each stage, the unlocking time increases until it is fully unlocked. For example, the initial usage period may be 15 minutes, then 30 minutes, 1 hour, and finally all day.

[0092] In one implementation of this embodiment, allocating limited usage rights of the first virtual prop to the virtual character includes: allocating a limited usage of the first virtual prop to the virtual character within a third preset period; before the end of the third preset period, determining whether a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop is received; if a renewal resource transferred by the virtual character for the first virtual prop is received, continuing to allocate a limited usage of the first virtual prop to the virtual character within a fourth preset period.

[0093] In one example, taking a third preset period of 2 days as an example, the third preset period and the fourth preset period have the same duration, and taking a limited usage as the number of triggers (the limited usage can also be the number of blocks, generated virtual quantity, consumed virtual quantity, etc. of the first virtual item), and assuming the number of triggers is 100 times, the virtual character calculates the cumulative number of triggers of the first virtual item from the first to the second day. If the number of triggers reaches 100, the first virtual item is switched to a cooldown state. Before the end of the second day, it is determined whether a renewal resource transfer for the first virtual item has been received from the virtual character. If sufficient renewal resources have been received, a certain limited usage (e.g., 100 times or more) is again allocated to the virtual item. If the fourth preset period has not expired and the number of triggers in the current period has not been used up, the remaining number of triggers in the previous period and the newly allocated number of triggers in the current period can be added together. For example, if the virtual character only used the item 10 times from the first to the second day, 90+100=190 times are allocated, or the available number of triggers is updated to 100.

[0094] Optionally, continue to allocate a limited usage amount of the first virtual prop within the fourth preset period to the virtual character: calculate the remaining amount of the first virtual prop within the third preset period, calculate the actual allocation amount based on the remaining amount and the preset allocation amount of the first virtual prop within the fourth preset period, and determine the actual allocation amount as the limited usage amount of the first virtual prop within the fourth preset period.

[0095] In other implementations of this embodiment, limited usage rights can also be allocated based on game rounds, or based on the functional attributes of the props. For example, if the virtual prop is an attack prop, the number of enemy characters it can kill is limited. For example, in the first stage, it can only kill one person, and after killing one person, it cannot be used again or restored to a lower-level prop. If the prop is a defensive prop, the total amount of health it can restore or the total amount of damage it can resist is limited. If the amount of health restored or the total amount of damage resisted reaches a preset value, the high-level function of the first virtual prop cannot be used again or it will be restored to a lower-level prop until the next renewal period.

[0096] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention is essentially or the part that contributes to the prior art can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present invention.
