[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to assist in understanding, and should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Also, in order to be clear and concise, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate understanding of the cloud game control method of the present disclosure, the architecture of the cloud phone system in the present disclosure is first briefly described. The cloud phone system at least includes a client, a control service and a cloud phone. The client refers to an application program app used by a user, and the user can operate his / her cloud phone on the app. The control service is deployed on a server and is a bridge connecting the client and the cloud phone, responsible for data authentication and forwarding, and the video data of the cloud phone will be pushed to the client and must be processed by the control service. The cloud phone is a device deployed in a computer room.

[0026] When the user tries the cloud game through the cloud phone, the cloud phone generally judges whether the user ends the trial by detecting whether the network connection between the client of the user and the server is disconnected. For example, the server will actively end the trial only when the user actively closes the client. However, sometimes the user will leave for a short or long time during the trial of the cloud game, but the server still considers that the user is trying the cloud game, and the server will continue to push the data of the cloud phone to the client, causing a large waste of traffic data. Based on this, a cloud game control method that does not rely on the user level to judge whether the current is in the trial state is proposed. For details, see the following embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 For a flowchart of a cloud game control method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present embodiment can be applied to detecting whether the user is idle by the control service of the server, and controlling the cloud game according to the detection result. The method can be executed by a cloud game control device, which is realized in the form of software and / or hardware and integrated on an electronic device.

[0028] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the cloud game control method is as follows:

[0029] S101, in the running process of the cloud game, it is determined whether there is a touch operation of the user on the cloud game within a detection time length of the cloud game.

[0030] S102, if not, it is determined that the user is in an idle state, and the cloud game is ended.

[0031] S103, if yes, it is determined that the user is in a trial state, and the cloud game is continued to run.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the detection duration of the cloud game is optionally the longest time that the user is allowed to continuously control the cloud game. In an optional implementation, the process of determining the detection duration of the cloud game is as follows: in response to a user request for a trial of the cloud game, the detection duration of the cloud game is extracted from the configuration file of the cloud phone control service, wherein the configuration file of the cloud phone is exemplary for reporting user information. It should be noted that, compared to configuring the detection duration on the client side, setting the detection duration in the configuration file of the control service, the staff (for example, the operator of the cloud phone) only needs to modify the configuration file of the control service to achieve the purpose of dynamically modifying the detection duration of the cloud game, without the need to operate the client of the user, simplifying the setting work of the detection duration.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the idle state of the user is a state of user behavior, and the situation is complex, and the use of the cloud phone by the user needs to be analyzed and collected to determine the idle state of the user. In the embodiments, the idle state is optionally a state in which the user stops playing the cloud game, and the trial state is optionally a state in which the user normally plays the cloud game. When determining the idle state of the user, the detection duration of the cloud game is obtained, so that it is only necessary to determine whether the user has a touch operation within the detection duration, so as to determine whether the user is in an idle state, for example, if no touch operation of the user on the cloud game is detected for more than a preset duration, it is considered that the user is in an idle state. At this time, in order to avoid the server continuing to push the data of the cloud phone to the client, causing a large amount of waste of traffic data, the control service can directly disconnect the cloud game. If it is determined that the user is in a trial state, the cloud game continues to run to ensure the trial experience of the user.

[0034] It should be noted that the idle state of the user can also be determined by using the idle screen locking mechanism of the client phone, that is, during the running of the cloud game, if the client detects that the client phone is locked, the locking information is returned to the control service, and the control service determines that the user is in an idle state according to the locking information, at this time, the trial of the cloud game can be ended to avoid waste of traffic.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control service of the server is used to detect whether the user has an operation on the cloud game, so as to not rely on the user level to determine whether the cloud game is currently played, so that after detecting that the user has no touch operation, the trial of the cloud game is accurately and effectively ended, and unnecessary data traffic is reduced.

[0036] Further, in order to ensure the accuracy of the detection duration of the cloud game, the game scene in which the user is located needs to be considered, and the detection duration is adjusted according to the scene in which the user is located. In an optional implementation, the game scene in which the user is located is determined. For example, if it is detected that the user starts a call application and answers an incoming call, it is determined that the user is in a call scene. Since the network environment will become poor when the user enters an elevator or a closed place, if it is detected that the network environment in which the user is located is suddenly changed, it is determined that the user is in a network abnormality game scene. In the case of a preset scene, the detection duration of the cloud game is adjusted to determine whether the user is in an idle state within the adjusted detection duration. The preset scene includes a network abnormality scene and / or a call scene. For example, the preset detection duration is 30 seconds. If it is determined according to the network state that the user is in a network congestion game scene or that the user is in a call scene at the 15th second, the detection duration is extended, for example, by 5 minutes, to avoid ending the cloud game by mistake. In this way, the detection duration is adjusted according to the game scene in which the user is located, the detection duration is configured according to the actual situation, and the purpose of determining whether the user is idle in different scenes is achieved.

[0037] Figure 2 is a flowchart of another cloud game control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the process of determining whether the user has a touch operation on the cloud game within the detection duration of the cloud game is refined, as shown in Figure 2 , the cloud game control method is as follows:

[0038] S201, during the running of the cloud game, it is determined whether a click event sent by the client is received within the detection duration.

[0039] S202, if yes, it is determined that the user has a touch operation on the cloud game.

[0040] S203, if no, it is determined that the user does not have a touch operation on the cloud game, the user is in an idle state, and the cloud game is ended.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the whole process of responding to a click event from the client to the cloud phone once is first described. The control service receives the click event of the client on the cloud phone, and the content of the click event is transmitted in the form of coordinates. After the client collects the click coordinates of the user on the real machine (the user's physical device installed with the client), the coordinates are converted into the coordinates on the cloud phone. Optionally, the conversion is performed according to the relationship between the resolutions of the real machine and the cloud phone, for example, by means of equal ratio scaling. It should be noted that if the resolutions of the real machine and the cloud phone are previously set to be the same, the coordinate conversion is not required. After the coordinate conversion is completed, the coordinates are transmitted to the control service, and then the control service receives the click coordinates and transmits them to the cloud phone. After the cloud phone receives the click event, the response to this click is realized.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sending of the client click event is taken as the criterion for determining whether the user is idle, if it is determined that no click event sent by the client is received within the detection duration, it is determined that there is no touch operation of the user on the cloud game, that is, the user is in an idle state, at this time, in order to avoid wasting traffic, the cloud game can be directly ended; if it is determined that the click event sent by the client is received within the detection duration, it is determined that there is a touch operation of the user on the cloud game, the user is in a trial state, that is, the user is playing the cloud game, at this time, the cloud game needs to be run to ensure the trial experience of the user.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by judging whether the click event is received within the preset duration, it can be accurately determined whether the user performs the trial operation of the cloud game within the detection duration, that is, it can be accurately determined whether the user is in an idle state; and then after the user is in an idle state, the cloud game is directly ended, which realizes actively disconnecting the cloud game from the server level without relying on the user level to determine, thereby avoiding issuing video data when the user is in an idle state and reducing the loss of video data traffic.

[0044] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of another cloud game control method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present embodiment further refines the process of determining whether the user has a touch operation on the cloud game within the detection duration of the cloud game, referring to Figure 3 , the cloud game control method is specifically as follows:

[0045] S301, setting a timer according to the detection duration, and controlling the timer to restart counting.

[0046] S302, determining whether a click event sent by the client is received before the counting ends.

[0047] S303, if yes, it is determined that the user has a touch operation on the cloud game.

[0048] S304, if no, it is determined that the user has no touch operation on the cloud game, and it is determined that the user is in an idle state, and the cloud game is ended.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a timer can be set in the control service, which can be set when the user requests to try the cloud game, or can be set when the user starts to try the cloud game, and the specific limitation is not made herein. Then, the detection duration of the cloud game is taken as the timing time of the timer. After the user starts to try the cloud game, the timer starts timing. Before the timing ends, if the click event sent by the client is not received, it is determined that the user does not have touch operation on the cloud game, that is, the user is in an idle state, and the cloud game is ended to save traffic. Before the timing ends, if the click event sent by the client is received, it is determined that the user is trying the cloud game, and the timer is reset at this time, that is, the timer starts to re-time, and then it is judged whether the click event sent by the client is received before the timing ends. By such a cycle, the detection of the idle state of the user can be realized continuously, and the cloud game can be ended when the user is idle to avoid traffic waste.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the timer is set in the control service, and the detection duration is taken as the timing time of the timer. As long as the click event is received before the timing ends, it is determined that the user is in an idle state, and the cloud game is ended to avoid traffic waste.
