Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a method, device and terminal equipment for determining target content. Background Art

[0002] To increase user engagement in MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), game administrators often provide weekly target content. By completing these target content, users receive rewards corresponding to the target content. To avoid duplication between this week's target content and the previous week's, this target content is pre-configured and sent to the game server. The server then determines the target content at a pre-set time each week.

[0003] However, if a server experiences a downtime or communication anomaly, the server in question cannot receive the target content for the current week, resulting in the current week's target content being the same as the previous week's. Furthermore, to reduce server load, multiple servers are typically used to store data, each with independent data. A server failure can also result in the target content for the current week being different from that of non-faulty servers, causing immeasurable losses to game administrators.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for determining target content according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 1 The target content determination method is applied to a server including a first number of arrays, and the target content determination method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 101: Obtain a target content set contained in each array, wherein the target content set includes a second number of target contents and an ID corresponding to each target content;

[0045] Arrays in an application are used to store data of the same type. In this embodiment, the first number is 9, and the 9 arrays form a nine-square grid. Each array is used to store a target content set, and each target content set contains different target content, ensuring that the target content determined by the server is different in each of the 9 arrays. Furthermore, the server cannot directly distinguish target content and must store an ID (identity document) corresponding to each target content to accurately identify the target content.

[0046] It should be understood that the second quantity, ID, and target content are set based on actual needs and are not limited here. The larger the second quantity, the more target content combinations can be randomly generated. For example, the first target content is to kill ten monsters, and the ID corresponding to the first target content is set to mission1. The second target content is to craft a piece of equipment, and the ID corresponding to the second target content is set to mission2. If the ID contained in the data packets sent or received this week is mission1, it can be quickly determined that the target content for this week is to kill ten monsters.

[0047] As an example, before obtaining the target content set contained in each array, the method further includes:

[0048] Creating a first number of target content sets, and assigning each target content set to the array, wherein each target content set includes different target content;

[0049] Each target content is combined with an included ID as a keyword, and the position of each ID is used as a value to generate an index database corresponding to each array.

[0050] When the server starts, it constructs nine target content sets corresponding to the nine arrays and inserts each ID into a preset position in the array. A key-value index database is constructed, using the ID as the key and the ID position as the value. A server that constructs a key-value index database can query target content using the primary keyword, resulting in high query efficiency, large data storage capacity, and extremely high concurrent read and write performance.

[0051] Step 102, obtaining a first ID of each array corresponding to the first time according to the random number seed corresponding to the first time and the target content set of each array;

[0052] A random seed is a pseudo-random function. In this example, even if the data on each server is independent, each server will output a fixed random number because it uses the same random seed and inputs the same first time. This ensures that each server determines the same target content, avoiding losses caused by different target content determined by multiple servers.

[0053] As an example, obtaining the first ID corresponding to the first time of each array according to the random number seed corresponding to the first time and the ID of each array includes:

[0054] Obtaining a random number corresponding to the first time for each array according to a random number seed corresponding to the first time and a target content set for each array;

[0055] A first ID of the array corresponding to a first time is obtained according to an index of each ID of the target content set and an index of the random number.

[0056] Based on the target content set contained in each array, the slotsize of the array is determined. Using the random number seed corresponding to the first time, a random number is generated from 1 to slotsize. The random number is the index of a position in the array. Based on the index of each ID in the target content set and the index of the random number, the first ID of the array corresponding to the first time is obtained.

[0057] As an example, before obtaining the first ID of each array corresponding to the first time according to the random number seed corresponding to the first time and the ID of each array, the method further includes:

[0058] A random number seed corresponding to the first time is generated according to the system time and the timestamp of the first time.

[0059] Obtain the server's system time and calculate the timestamp between the system time and the first time to generate a random seed corresponding to the first time. The random seed can be called using the time function. Calling the time function at different times will generate different random seeds, allowing the server to generate different random numbers at different times, ensuring that the target content generated by the server is unpredictable.

[0060] Step 103, obtaining an allocation ID for each array according to the first ID of each array and the pre-stored second ID corresponding to the second time;

[0061] In this embodiment, the first time is 5:00 AM on Monday this week, and the second time is 5:00 AM on Monday last week. It should be understood that both the first ID and the second ID are IDs corresponding to the target content. To facilitate understanding of this application, the first ID is excelID, and the second ID is oldexcelID. Based on excelID and oldexcelID, the assigned ID corresponding to 5:00 AM on Monday this week is determined for each array, so that each independent server can determine the target content for that week.

[0062] As an example, obtaining the allocation ID of each array according to the first ID of each array and the pre-stored second ID corresponding to the second time includes:

[0063] If the first ID of the array is different from the second ID, use the first ID as the allocation ID of the array;

[0064] If the first ID of the array is the same as the second ID, the allocation ID of the array is obtained according to the index of each ID and the index of the second ID.

[0065] Specifically, if excelID and oldexcelID are different, it is determined that this week's target content does not overlap with last week's target content, and the target content corresponding to excelID is used as the random result for this time. If excelID and oldexcelID are the same, it is determined that this week's target content overlaps with last week's target content. Based on the index of each ID and the index of the second ID, a new ID random range is determined, and a random allocation ID that is different from oldexcelID is obtained. Since the target content corresponding to excelID and oldexcelID is different, the target content determined by the server for two consecutive weeks is guaranteed to be different, increasing the user's game stickiness.

[0066] In an optional example, obtaining the allocated ID of the array according to the index of each ID and the index of the second ID includes:

[0067] Generate a random range of IDs corresponding to the first time according to the index of each of the IDs and the index of the second ID;

[0068] The allocated ID of the array is obtained according to the random number seed and the ID random range.

[0069] When excelID is the same as oldexcelID, a new ID random range is determined based on the index of each ID and the index of the second ID, where the ID random range includes beginIndex (start index) and endIndex (end index). If the index of oldexcelID is 1, beginIndex is set to 2 and endIndex is set to slotsize. If the index of oldexcelID is slotsize, beginIndex is set to 1 and endIndex is set to slotsize minus one. If oldexcelID is not 1 or slotsize, beginIndex can be set to the index of oldexcelID plus one and endIndex to slotsize; beginIndex can also be set to 1 and endIndex to the index of oldexcelID minus one. Generate an ID random range corresponding to the first time, remove oldexcelID to obtain the assigned ID corresponding to 5 o'clock on Monday this week, avoid the assigned ID being the same as oldexcelID, and ensure that the target content determined by the server for two consecutive weeks is different.

[0070] Step 104: Determine all target contents corresponding to the first time according to the allocation ID and the target content set.

[0071] The assigned ID is used as the random result corresponding to the first time, and the target content in the target content set is determined by the assigned ID. When the target content to be determined by multiple servers is the same, the target content can be determined directly within the server. This avoids the situation where a server failure during the transmission of data in the array causes the target content determined by the failed server to differ from that of the non-failed servers, causing immeasurable losses to the management party.

[0072] As an example, after obtaining the allocation ID of each array according to the first ID of each array and the pre-stored second ID corresponding to the second time, the method further includes:

[0073] The second ID of each of the arrays is overwritten with the allocated ID of the array.

[0074] The second ID of each array is overwritten with the assigned ID of the array, so that the target content can be determined by the second ID and the randomly obtained first ID next week, avoiding the same target content within two weeks and increasing the user's game stickiness.

[0075] The present application provides a target content determination method, which is applied to a server including a first number of arrays. The method comprises: obtaining a target content set contained in each array; obtaining a first ID for each array corresponding to the first time based on a random number seed corresponding to the first time and the target content set of each array; obtaining an allocation ID for each array based on the first ID of each array and a pre-stored second ID corresponding to the second time; and determining all target content corresponding to the first time based on the allocation ID and the target content set. The server directly determines the target content using the random number seed, ensuring that the target content determined by the server for two consecutive weeks is different, and ensuring that the target content determined by multiple servers at the same time is the same, thereby avoiding losses caused by the server incorrectly determining the target content.
