[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application for which protection is claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] Game interface:

[0037] Refers to the interface corresponding to the application provided or displayed through a graphical user interface, which includes a UI interface and a game screen for players to interact. In an optional embodiment, the UI interface may include game controls (such as skill controls, movement controls, function controls, etc.), indicators (such as direction indicators, character indicators, etc.), information display areas (such as the number of kills, match time, etc.), or game setting controls (such as system settings, stores, gold coins, etc.). In an optional embodiment, the game screen is a display screen corresponding to the virtual scene displayed by the terminal device, and the game screen may include virtual objects such as game characters, NPC characters, AI characters, etc. that execute game logic in the virtual scene.

[0038] Observer users:

[0039] Spectators do not participate in the game in the game room, but can instead watch any character in the current game room. The spectator's terminal device displays a spectator interface, where they can switch between characters. There are no restrictions on how spectators can access the spectator interface.

[0040] Game Characters:

[0041] A virtual object that can be controlled by the player and moves within the game environment. In some video games, this can also be called a Shikigami character or a hero character. A player character can be at least one of several different forms, including an avatar, a virtual animal, an anime character, or a virtual vehicle. A preset number of game characters can be controlled by the player in a single game room.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications, such as cloud games, can be run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operation mode, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the information processing method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The role of the client device is to receive and send data and present the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, TV, computer, PDA, etc.; but the terminal device for information processing is the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the terminal device can be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through an electronic device and running it. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in various ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the terminal display, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface including the game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the game voice data includes in-game voice data and out-of-game voice data. The in-game voice data may include at least one of game background sound data, game character sound data, and game special effect sound data. The out-of-game voice data includes the player's voice data collected by the second terminal device. Specifically, the player's voice data may be collected by the microphone of the second terminal device.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, a game system may include a first terminal device, a second terminal device, and a game server. The first terminal device and the second terminal device each communicate with the server to implement data communication. In this embodiment, the first terminal device and the second terminal device are each installed with a client that executes the game viewing method provided in this application, and the game server is the server-side that executes the game viewing method provided in this application. Through the client, the first terminal device and the second terminal device can each communicate with the game server.

[0046] First, the application scenarios to which this application is applicable are introduced. This application can be applied to the field of game viewing.

[0047] Research has found that most competitive or survival games require communication between teammates, hence the use of team and nearby channels. However, in both team and nearby channels, only other players can hear the current player's voice. This is particularly true when viewing a game from a spectator perspective, where spectators can only see the current player's game screen and cannot hear their voices. This reduces engagement and interactivity for both spectators and other viewers.

[0048] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a game viewing method, so that the first terminal device can hear the player's voice while watching the game, thereby improving the viewing participation and interactivity of the viewing users.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for watching a game provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in , the game viewing method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0050] S101: Receive a viewing request from a first terminal device, where the viewing request carries a viewing identifier, and the viewing identifier is used to indicate a target second terminal device that the first terminal device requests to view the game.

[0051] Here, the first terminal device may be a terminal device used by a spectator user, and is used to display a viewing interface, through which the game screen of any game player in the same game can be viewed. The viewing request here may be used to request the game server to view the game screen of the game player using the target second terminal device on the viewing interface of the first terminal device. The game screen here may be a game screen from a first-person perspective or a game screen from a third-person perspective, and the spectator user may switch between first-person perspective viewing and third-person perspective viewing through the viewing interface. The second terminal device here is a terminal device used by the game player. The viewing identifier may be a unique identity identifier (UID) of the second terminal device, and is used to indicate the terminal device of the game player requested to be viewed by the first terminal device.

[0052] Among them, the spectator user can also select any game player in the same game through the viewing interface and watch the game player. At this time, a viewing request is generated through the first terminal device and sent to the game server. The game server determines the target second terminal device that the first terminal device requests to watch through the viewing request.

[0053] S102: Determine the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device indicated by the spectator identifier.

[0054] In this step, the spectator voice status refers to the status of the spectator voice channel provided by the game client on the second terminal device. The game player can control the opening or closing of the spectator voice channel through the game interface. For example, in addition to the icons of the team voice channel and the nearby voice channel, the edge of the game interface corresponding to the game player also displays an icon for the spectator voice channel. The game player can turn the spectator voice status on or off by touching the icon of the spectator voice channel. If a game player turns on the spectator voice channel, the game player's second terminal device can send the game voice data collected by the microphone of the second terminal device to the first terminal device via the game server.

[0055] Specifically, the game server may determine the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device in the following manner:

[0056] The game server obtains the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device based on the stored terminal voice configuration table.

[0057] The terminal voice configuration table here may include a unique identity identifier of the terminal device and a corresponding viewing voice status of the terminal device.

[0058] In this way, the game server can use a pre-configured terminal voice configuration table to find the spectator voice status of a second terminal device based on the unique identifier of the second terminal device. At the start of the game, the spectator voice status of all second terminal devices can be disabled by default. During the game, the game server can modify the spectator voice status of the corresponding second terminal device in the terminal voice configuration table based on the game player's activation or deactivation of their spectator voice channel.

[0059] S103: If the spectating voice status of the target second terminal device meets the voice spectating condition, obtain the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device.

[0060] The game screen data here is used to render the game screen on the target second terminal device, and the game voice data here includes in-game voice data and out-of-game voice data. The in-game voice data here is used to present game sound effects, and may include, for example, at least one of game background sound data, game character sound data, or game special effect sound data, and may be preset within the game server. The out-of-game voice data here is used to present the player's voice, and may include, for example, real-time player voice data or voice data collected via the microphone of the target second terminal device. It is understood that the voice data here can be used to communicate with other players. By collecting this voice data, players can also use it in in-game voice communication channels such as team channels or nearby channels to communicate in-game.

[0061] In this step, if the game server determines that the spectator voice state of the target second terminal device is on, it is determined that the voice spectator condition is met, and the game server obtains the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device.

[0062] Among them, the game screen data and game voice data of the second terminal device can be pre-stored in the game server, and the game server searches for the corresponding game screen data and game voice data in the memory; the game server can also determine that the target second terminal device meets the voice viewing conditions, and then send a data acquisition request to the target second terminal device to obtain the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device. It can be understood that the game screen data and game voice data here are synchronized.

[0063] S104. Send the acquired game screen data and game voice data to the first terminal device, so that the game screen of the second terminal device is rendered in the first terminal device according to the game screen data, and the game voice of the target second terminal device is played according to the game voice data.

[0064] Specifically, the game server sends the acquired game screen data and game voice data to the first terminal device. The first terminal device can render the game screen of the second terminal device based on the game screen data. The spectator can watch the game screen of the second terminal device through the viewing interface of the first terminal device. At the same time, the first terminal device plays the game voice of the target second terminal device based on the game voice data. In this way, when watching any game player, if the player also opens the game voice channel, the spectator can also hear the game player's voice communication, which can help the spectator understand the game player's game operation. At the same time, if the spectator opens the live broadcast, the spectator can hear the game player's voice while seeing the game player's game screen. The audience can better understand the game player's ideas and game strategies, thereby improving the spectator's participation in the game.

[0065] The game spectating method provided in an embodiment of the present application receives a spectating request from a first terminal device, determines the target second terminal device for the spectating request, and determines the spectating voice status of the target second terminal device. If the spectating voice status of the target second terminal device meets the voice spectating conditions, the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device are sent to the first terminal device, so that the first terminal device renders the game screen of the second terminal device based on the game screen data and plays the game voice of the target second terminal device based on the game voice data. Compared to the existing technology where only teammates or nearby players in the same game can hear each other's game voice, users in the spectating perspective can also hear the game voice of the current spectating player, thereby improving the spectating user's participation and interactivity in the game.

[0066] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for updating the spectator voice status provided in another embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown in , the method for updating the spectator voice status provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0067] S201: Receive spectator voice information from a target second terminal device, where the spectator voice information is generated based on a user's operation on a spectator voice control in a game interface of the target second terminal device.

[0068] During the game, a game player can proactively change the spectator voice status, for example by touching the spectator voice control on the game interface or pressing the T key on the keyboard, to change the current spectator voice status from on or off. At this point, the second terminal device generates spectator voice information and sends it to the game server. The spectator voice information indicates the spectator voice status of the second terminal device and may include a unique identifier for the second terminal device and updated spectator voice status information for the second terminal device, such as when the spectator voice status of a second terminal device is updated from on to off, or when the spectator voice status of a second terminal device is currently updated to off.

[0069] S202: Update the spectator voice status corresponding to the target second terminal device stored in the terminal voice configuration table according to the received spectator voice information.

[0070] The game server can update the terminal voice configuration table through the spectator voice information, so that the current spectator voice status of the target second terminal device can be confirmed at any time through the terminal voice configuration table.

[0071] Furthermore, the spectator voice information may include a first voice identifier, the first voice identifier indicating that the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device is turned on, wherein the step of updating the spectator voice status corresponding to the target second terminal device stored in the terminal voice configuration table according to the received spectator voice information includes:

[0072] The spectator voice state corresponding to the target second terminal device stored in the terminal voice configuration table is updated to the on state indicated by the first voice identifier.

[0073] Alternatively, the spectator voice information includes a second voice identifier, the second voice identifier indicating that the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device is in an off state, wherein the step of updating the spectator voice status corresponding to the target second terminal device stored in the terminal voice configuration table according to the received spectator voice information includes:

[0074] The spectator voice state corresponding to the target second terminal device and stored in the terminal voice configuration table is updated to the closed state indicated by the second voice identifier.

[0075] In this way, the current spectator voice status of the target second terminal device can be quickly determined through the first voice identifier or the second voice identifier in the spectator voice information, and the spectator voice status corresponding to the target second terminal device in the terminal voice configuration table can be updated.

[0076] Furthermore, in step S103, after determining that the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device meets the voice spectator condition, the spectator voice status of the first terminal device can also be determined. If the spectator voice status of the first terminal device and the target second terminal device both meet the voice spectator condition, the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device are obtained.

[0077] It is understood that if the spectator voice status of both the first terminal device and the second terminal device is turned on, the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device are obtained and sent to the first terminal device. The first terminal device then renders the game screen of the second terminal device based on the game screen data and plays the game voice of the target second terminal device based on the game voice data.

[0078] Specifically, the spectator voice status of the first terminal device may be determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0079] The spectator voice status of the first terminal device is obtained by parsing the spectator request, which carries a spectator identifier and a voice identifier. The voice identifier is used to indicate the spectator voice status of the first terminal device. Alternatively, the spectator voice status of the first terminal device can be obtained based on a stored terminal voice configuration table.

[0080] The voice identifier here indicates the spectator voice status of the first terminal device. Specifically, the spectator voice status of the first terminal device may be enabled by default. The spectator user can change the spectator voice status of the first terminal device in the spectator interface. The terminal voice configuration table corresponding to the spectator voice status of the first terminal device can be the same table as the terminal voice configuration table corresponding to the second terminal device, or they can be two different terminal voice configuration tables.

[0081] It is understood that the spectator request sent by the first terminal device may also include the spectator voice status of the first terminal device. The game server determines the spectator voice status of the first terminal device based on the voice identifier and simultaneously determines the spectator voice status of the target second terminal device based on the spectator identifier and the terminal voice configuration table. When the spectator voice status of both the first and second terminal devices is enabled, the game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device are obtained and sent to the first terminal device. Alternatively, the game server directly determines the spectator voice status of the first terminal device based on the stored terminal voice configuration table.

[0082] Furthermore, in step S103, if it is determined that the target second terminal device's voice status does not meet the voice viewing conditions, or if it is determined that the first terminal device's voice status is off, only the game screen data of the target second terminal device is obtained and sent to the first terminal device. It is understandable that in this case, the spectating user can only view the game screen through the viewing perspective of the first terminal device.

[0083] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for switching spectator objects provided in another embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown in , the method for switching spectator objects provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0084] S301. During a process in which a first terminal device watches a target second terminal device, a switching request of the first terminal device is detected, where the switching request is used to instruct a switch from watching the target second terminal device to watching another second terminal device.

[0085] Specifically, the spectator can switch the game player he wants to watch on the viewing interface, and the first terminal device generates a switching request and sends it to the game server. The switching request here can include the unique identity of the other second terminal device corresponding to the game player he wants to watch.

[0086] S302. If a switching request of the first terminal device is detected, determine the historical viewing voice status of the first terminal device and the viewing voice status of other second terminal devices respectively, where the historical viewing voice status is the viewing voice status of the first terminal device when the first terminal device historically views other second terminal devices.

[0087] Specifically, the game server can determine the corresponding other second terminal devices based on the switching request, and determine the historical viewing voice status of the first terminal device and the viewing voice status of the other second terminal devices. The historical viewing voice status here can be the status of the game voice channel when the first terminal device was watching the previous game player.

[0088] S303: If the historical viewing voice status of the first terminal device and the viewing voice status of other second terminal devices both meet the voice viewing condition, obtain game screen data and game voice data of other second terminal devices.

[0089] Specifically, when the game server determines that the spectator voice status of the first terminal device and the other second terminal devices are both turned on, the game screen data and game voice data of the other second terminal devices can be obtained according to the unique identity.

[0090] S304: Send the acquired game screen data and game voice data to the first terminal device.

[0091] Specifically, the game server sends the game screen data and game audio data corresponding to the other second terminal device to the first terminal device, so that the first terminal device can render the game screen of the second terminal device based on the game screen data and play the game audio of the target second terminal device based on the game audio data. This allows the first terminal device to watch other game players and hear their conversations, thus switching the viewing target.

[0092] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for obtaining game data provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method for obtaining game data provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0093] The game screen data and game voice data of the target second terminal device are obtained from the game database.

[0094] The game database stores game screen data and / or game voice data corresponding to multiple second terminal devices, and the game database is constructed in the following manner:

[0095] S401. After a plurality of second terminal devices participating in a current game enter the current game, determine the spectator voice status of each second terminal device.

[0096] Specifically, when the current game starts, the game server can send a request to all second terminal devices to determine the viewing voice status of the second terminal devices. Here, the viewing voice channel of the second terminal device at the start of the game can be closed by default.

[0097] S402: For a second terminal device whose spectator voice state is turned on, obtain game screen data and game voice data from the second terminal device and store them.

[0098] The game server sends a request to the second terminal device whose spectator voice state is turned on to obtain the game screen data and game voice data of the second terminal in real time and store them.

[0099] S403: For a second terminal device whose spectator voice status is turned off, obtain game screen data from the second terminal device and store the data.

[0100] For the second terminal device whose spectator voice status is off, the game server sends a request to obtain and store the game screen data.

[0101] Specifically, the game screen data and game voice data stored in the game library can be used to form a game screen recording video after the game is over, so that players or spectators can review the game. While watching the game screen, they can also hear the voice of the game players, which can further understand the players' operating ideas and improve the efficiency of game review.

[0102] Furthermore, each player on the second terminal device can choose to enable this feature before the game begins, determining whether to generate a screen recording of their game after the game ends. It is also possible to record the game of all players and access any player's screen recording through the spectator on the first terminal device. These screen recordings can be used for game replays or to provide footage for other game competition videos.

[0103] Furthermore, for each second terminal device, the number of times the spectator voice status of the second terminal device was turned on during the current game round is counted. After the current game round ends, the second terminal device whose activation number meets the replay condition is used as the replay terminal device, and the game screen data and / or game voice data corresponding to the replay terminal device is stored as the game replay data of the current game round.

[0104] Specifically, for each second terminal device, each time the spectator voice channel is opened, the game server increments the opening count by one. After the current game is over, the second terminal device with a greater than preset opening count is determined as a playback terminal device. The playback terminal device refers to the second terminal device that stores game screen data and / or game audio data, which is stored in the game database. After the game is over, the game screen data and / or game audio data are used to generate a corresponding game screen recording video of the second terminal device.

[0105] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a method for providing a voice prompt for watching a game in another embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method for providing a game viewing voice prompt provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0106] S501: When receiving a game watching voice message from a target second terminal device, generate identification information.

[0107] The target second terminal device here can be the second terminal device corresponding to any game player in the current game. The identification information here is used to indicate that the spectator voice channel of the target second terminal device is in an open state.

[0108] S502: Send identification information to the first terminal device, and display the identification information in the viewing interface of the first terminal device to indicate the viewing voice status of the target second terminal device.

[0109] Specifically, when the game server receives a viewing voice message from a target second terminal device, for example, if the viewing voice message contains a first voice identifier, it indicates that the viewing voice channel for the second terminal device is enabled. At this point, the game server generates identification information and sends it to the first terminal device. After the first terminal device receives the identification information, it displays corresponding prompt information on the viewing interface based on the identification information. For example, text messages such as "Player XXX has just enabled the game voice channel" can be displayed on the viewing interface. This allows spectators to be informed of which game players have enabled the game voice channel, allowing them to prioritize watching players with enabled voice channels, thereby improving their viewing experience.
