Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computers, and in particular to a method for displaying a game screen, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Game clients often provide users with a viewing service, and the viewing service can be understood as real-time recording of the game screen produced by the participating players throughout the game, and then directly forwarding it within the game client to the player client with viewing needs, and displaying the game screen in the player client.

[0003] However, since the coupling between the game client's spectator service and the game's internal logic service is generally high, the messages generated throughout the game must be forwarded through each logic service layer, which leads to the problem of unstable load of the spectator service. To address this problem, related technologies often reserve an upper limit on the number of service objects of the spectator service in advance, and when the load of the spectator service is too large, manual intervention is required to expand the capacity, which leads to the problem of low display efficiency of the game screen. Therefore, there is a problem of low adaptability of the display of the game screen.

[0054] Request: A network transmission protocol.

[0055] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a method for displaying a game screen is provided. Optionally, as an optional implementation, the method for displaying a game screen can be applied to, but is not limited to, Figure 1In the environment shown, it may include but is not limited to a user device 102, a network 110 and a server 112, wherein the user device 102 may include but is not limited to a display 108, a processor 106 and a memory 104.

[0056] The specific process can be as follows:

[0057] Step S102, the user device 102 obtains a target viewing request triggered on the first game client 1022, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that a game screen of a virtual game game in which the second game client (the client where the player C is located) participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client 1022;

[0058] Steps S104-S106, the user device 102 sends the target viewing request to the server 112 via the network 110;

[0059] Step S108, the server 112 searches the database 114 for the communication connection relationship corresponding to the target spectator request and the target spectator load associated with the virtual game match, and adjusts the number of target processes included in the target virtual server according to the target spectator load through the processing engine 116, and obtains the target live broadcast data of the virtual game match using the adjusted target virtual server, thereby generating the target live broadcast data;

[0060] Steps S110-S112, the server 112 sends the target live broadcast data to the user device 102 through the network 110, the processor 106 in the user device 102 displays the live game screen 1024 corresponding to the target live broadcast data on the display 108, and stores the target live broadcast data in the memory 104.

[0061] remove Figure 1 In addition to the examples shown, the above steps can be completed independently by the user device 102, that is, the user device 102 performs steps such as generating target live data, thereby reducing the processing pressure of the server. The user device 102 includes but is not limited to a handheld device (such as a mobile phone), a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a vehicle-mounted device, etc., and the present application does not limit the specific implementation of the user device 102.

[0062] Optionally, as an optional implementation, as Figure 2 As shown, the method for displaying the game screen includes:

[0063] S202, in response to a target spectator request triggered on the first game client, obtaining a communication connection relationship between the first game client and a target virtual server, wherein the target spectator request is used to request that a game screen of a virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client, and the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud;

[0064] S204, when a target spectator load associated with the virtual game match is obtained, adjusting the number of target processes included in the target virtual server according to the target spectator load, wherein the target spectator load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being spectated;

[0065] S206, when the target live broadcast data of the virtual game game is obtained by using the adjusted target virtual server, the target live broadcast data is sent to the first game client through the communication connection relationship to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game game in the first game client, wherein the target live broadcast data is data of the game screen of the virtual game game to be synchronously displayed in the first game client.

[0066] Optionally, the above-mentioned method for displaying the game screen can be applied, but not limited to, in the scene of watching the competitive events of the virtual game. Given that the number of users who watch a game online at the same time in the virtual game may reach tens of thousands or even millions, and the amount of messages generated by recording a game is also huge, it is necessary to consider what kind of message forwarding mechanism to adopt to meet the business needs of high throughput. In this embodiment, when watching the game in the game client, the client first connects to the target virtual server, establishes a communication connection relationship between the two, and then uses the target virtual server to pull messages (such as target live broadcast data) from the message queue to provide corresponding viewing services for the game client watching the game; wherein, since the target virtual server is a service process deployed in the cloud, it can achieve the effect of completely decoupling from the logical business process of the current game client, and can realize automatic scaling dynamic adjustment according to the target viewing load of the current viewing service, so that the target virtual server is dynamically adjusted to a load-balanced state, thereby improving the efficiency of the game screen corresponding to the viewing service, and thereby ensuring the user experience of providing the corresponding viewing service for the viewing game client.

[0067] Optionally, there is an essential difference between the game client and the live broadcast client generally used to provide only the viewing service. For example, in addition to providing the viewing service of the virtual game, the game client can also provide, but is not limited to, the internal logic service of the virtual game, which leads to the situation that the virtual game viewing service and the internal logic service of the virtual game are easily coupled during the operation of the game client. In the process of providing the viewing service for the spectators, the live broadcast data generated by the viewing service must be forwarded by each logic server layer by layer, which results in the viewing service provided by the game client facing a limited number of participants, and the viewing objects are usually limited to the objects that have been eliminated in a single game;

[0068] In this embodiment, in order to overcome the problem of serious coupling between the services in the game client, through the communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, the target viewing load is used as an adjustment basis to automatically adjust the number of processes of the target process deployed in the cloud for synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game game participated by the second game client in the first game client, thereby reducing the coupling between the services in the game client and ensuring the user experience when viewing the game.

[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, in response to a target viewing request triggered on the first game client 302, a communication connection relationship between the first game client 302 and the target virtual server 304 is obtained, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game game in which the second game client (such as the game client where player C is located) participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client 302, and the target virtual server 304 includes a group of target processes (such as target process 304-1, target process 304-2, target process 304-3, etc.), and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target virtual server can be but is not limited to a service deployed in the cloud, such as an event message consumer server (WatchPod). When a player in the game watches an event, the client first connects to a WatchPod, and then pulls the message from the cloud message queue for playback; the target virtual server can also be but is not limited to being understood as a group of processes deployed to the cloud, and the number of processes can be automatically expanded according to the current load; through the above-mentioned target virtual server, it is basically possible to achieve complete decoupling from the current business process, and it can automatically scale according to the load of the current service to dynamically reach a load balancing state to ensure the player's viewing experience.

[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment, the communication connection relationship can be, but is not limited to, an association relationship actively or passively created by the first game client or the target virtual server in response to a target viewing request triggered on the first game client. After the communication connection relationship is established, the communication connection relationship can be used to transfer data or interact information between the first game client and the target virtual server.

[0072] Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual game match participated by the second game client may be, but not limited to, a virtual game match corresponding to the internal logic service provided in the first game client, or may be, but not limited to, a virtual game match corresponding to an internal logic service not provided in the first game client, and no limitation is made here. However, it should be noted that, in the case where the virtual game match participated by the second game client is a virtual game match corresponding to the internal logic service provided in the first game client, the problem of the serious degree of coupling between the services in the game client will be more significant, and it is also more suitable for the implementation of the above-mentioned method for displaying the game screen.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being watched, wherein the number of resources can be understood as, but not limited to, the number of users watching the virtual game match or the traffic carried, etc.; furthermore, the size of the target viewing load can be, but not limited to, a positive correlation with the number of resources carried by the target process, such as the more resources carried by the target process, the larger the target viewing load, and vice versa; in addition, the number of processes of the target process can be, but not limited to, a positive correlation with the size of the target viewing load, such as the larger the target viewing load, the larger the number of processes of the target process, and vice versa.

[0074] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target live broadcast data may include, but is not limited to, game progress data of the virtual game match, and in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, the first client may, but is not limited to, flexibly adjust the display progress of the game screen of the virtual game match and the display angle of the game screen of the virtual game match, wherein the display angle may be, but is not limited to, understood as the viewing angle corresponding to each client participating in the virtual game match;

[0075] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 4 As shown, in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, in response to the play request triggered on the account identifier 404, the game screen 402 from the perspective associated with the client corresponding to the account identifier 404 is displayed.

[0076] It should be noted that, in response to a target viewing request triggered on the first game client, a communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server is obtained, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game match in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed in the first game client, and the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud; when the target viewing load associated with the virtual game match is obtained, the number of target processes included in the target virtual server is adjusted according to the target viewing load, wherein the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is watched; when the target live broadcast data of the virtual game match is obtained using the adjusted target virtual server, the target live broadcast data is sent to the first game client through the communication connection relationship, so as to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, wherein the target live broadcast data is data of the game screen of the virtual game match to be synchronously displayed in the first game client.

[0077] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 5 As shown, in response to the target viewing request 502-2 triggered on the first game client 502, the communication connection relationship between the first game client 502 and the target virtual server 504 is obtained, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), the target spectator request 502-2 is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client 502, and the target virtual server 504 includes a group of target processes (such as target process 504-1, target process 504-2, and target process 504-3), and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud;

[0078] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown in (b), when the target spectator load 506 associated with the virtual game match is obtained, the process quantity of the target process included in the target virtual server 504 is adjusted according to the target spectator load 506 to obtain the adjusted target virtual server 508 (such as the target process 504-1, the target process 504-2, the target process 504-3, and the target process 504-4), wherein the target spectator load 506 is the quantity of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being spectated;

[0079] In addition, if Figure 5As shown in (c), when the target live broadcast data 508-2 of the virtual game game is obtained by using the adjusted target virtual server 508, the target live broadcast data 508-2 is sent to the first game client 502 through the communication connection relationship to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game game in the first game client 502, wherein the target live broadcast data 508-2 is the data of the game screen of the virtual game game to be synchronously displayed in the first game client 502.

[0080] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, in response to a target viewing request triggered on a first game client, a communication connection relationship between the first game client and a target virtual server is obtained, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that a game screen of a virtual game match in which a second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client, and the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, where the target processes are processes deployed on the cloud; when a target viewing load associated with the virtual game match is obtained, the number of target processes included in the target virtual server is adjusted according to the target viewing load, wherein the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being watched; when the target live broadcast number of the virtual game match is obtained using the adjusted target virtual server In the case of a communication connection, the target live broadcast data is sent to the first game client through the communication connection relationship, so as to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, wherein the target live broadcast data is the data of the game screen of the virtual game match to be synchronously displayed in the first game client. Through the communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, the target spectator load is used as the adjustment basis to automatically adjust the number of processes of the target process deployed in the cloud for synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match participated by the second game client in the first game client, thereby achieving the purpose of timely adjusting the number of processes of the target process for synchronously displaying the game screen, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the display efficiency of the game screen.

[0081] As an optional solution, the number of target processes included in the target virtual server is adjusted according to the target spectator load, including:

[0082] S1, when the target spectator load is greater than or equal to the first load threshold, increase the number of target processes included in the target virtual server; or,

[0092] As an optional solution, before sending the target live broadcast data to the first game client through the communication connection relationship, it includes:

[0093] S1, sending a data pull request to a target message queue, wherein the target message queue is used to cache game screen data of a virtual game match, and the data pull request is used to request to pull target live broadcast data cached in the target message queue;

[0094] S2, receiving the target live broadcast data returned by the target message queue.

[0095] Optionally, the target message queue may be, but is not limited to, a cloud message queue. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cloud message queue is used as an intermediary for message delivery. In addition to the inherent functional characteristics of high throughput, the cloud message queue also has the characteristics of high reliability and high scalability.

[0096] It should be noted that a data pull request is sent to a target message queue, wherein the target message queue is used to cache game screen data of a virtual game match, and the data pull request is used to request to pull the target live broadcast data cached in the target message queue; and the target live broadcast data returned by the target message queue is received.

[0097] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 3 The scenario shown, continues with Figure 6 As shown, the target virtual server 304 sends a data pull request 602 to the target message queue 604, wherein the target message queue 604 is used to cache the game screen data of the virtual game match, and the data pull request 602 is used to request to pull the target live broadcast data 606 cached in the target message queue 604; the target virtual server 304 receives the target live broadcast data 606 returned by the target message queue 604.

[0098] As an optional solution, sending a data pull request to a target message queue includes: sending a data pull request to a target message queue, wherein the data pull request also carries a game identifier of the virtual game game and a screen timestamp of a game screen of the virtual game game;

[0099] As an optional solution, receiving the target live broadcast data returned by the target message queue includes: receiving the live broadcast data returned by the target message queue and matching the picture timestamp.

[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment, the game identifier may be, but is not limited to, a game identifier of a virtual game game in which the second game client participates and is synchronously displayed in the first game client as requested by the target viewing request; the screen timestamp may be, but is not limited to, a screen timestamp corresponding to the time information when the target viewing request is triggered, or a screen timestamp corresponding to the time information of the display progress of the virtual game game in which the second game client participates and is synchronously displayed in the first game client as requested by the target viewing request.

[0101] Through the embodiment provided by the present application, a data pull request is sent to a target message queue, wherein the data pull request also carries a game identifier of a virtual game match and a screen timestamp of a game screen of the virtual game match; and live broadcast data returned by the target message queue and matching the screen timestamp is received, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately displaying the game screen for viewing and realizing the effect of improving the display accuracy of the game screen.

[0102] Optionally, as an optional implementation, as Figure 7 As shown, the method for displaying the game screen includes:

[0103] S702, obtaining a target spectator request triggered on the first game client, wherein the target spectator request is used to request that a game screen of a virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client;

[0104] S704, responding to the target spectator request, establishing a communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, wherein the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, the target processes are processes deployed in the cloud, and the number of processes in the group of target processes is set to be adjusted according to the target spectator load associated with the virtual game match, the target spectator load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being spectated;

[0105] S706, receiving target live broadcast data of the virtual game game sent by the target virtual server through the communication connection relationship, wherein the target live broadcast data is data of a game screen of the virtual game game to be synchronously displayed on the first game client;

[0106] S708, synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client.

[0107] Optionally, the above-mentioned method for displaying the game screen can be applied, but not limited to, in the scene of watching the competitive events of the virtual game. Given that the number of users who watch a game online at the same time in the virtual game may reach tens of thousands or even millions, and the amount of messages generated by recording a game is also huge, it is necessary to consider what kind of message forwarding mechanism to adopt to meet the business needs of high throughput. In this embodiment, when watching the game in the game client, the client first connects to the target virtual server, establishes a communication connection relationship between the two, and then uses the target virtual server to pull messages (such as target live broadcast data) from the message queue to provide corresponding viewing services for the game client watching the game; wherein, since the target virtual server is a service process deployed in the cloud, it can achieve the effect of completely decoupling from the logical business process of the current game client, and can realize automatic scaling dynamic adjustment according to the target viewing load of the current viewing service, so that the target virtual server is dynamically adjusted to a load-balanced state, thereby improving the efficiency of the game screen corresponding to the viewing service, and thereby ensuring the user experience of providing the corresponding viewing service for the viewing game client.

[0108] Optionally, there is an essential difference between the game client and the general live broadcast client that only provides viewing services. For example, in addition to providing viewing services for virtual games, the game client can also, but is not limited to, provide internal logic services for virtual games. As a result, during the operation of the game client, there is a serious coupling between the viewing service for the virtual game and the internal logic service of the virtual game. In the process of providing viewing services to spectators, the live broadcast data generated by the viewing service must be forwarded layer by layer by various logic servers. As a result, the number of participants for the viewing service provided by the game client is limited, and usually the spectators are limited to those who have been eliminated in a single game.

[0109] In this embodiment, in order to overcome the problem of serious coupling between the services in the game client, through the communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, the target viewing load is used as an adjustment basis to automatically adjust the number of processes of the target process deployed in the cloud for synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game game participated by the second game client in the first game client, thereby reducing the coupling between the services in the game client and ensuring the user experience when viewing the game.

[0110] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, a target viewing request triggered on the first game client 302 is obtained, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game game in which the second game client (such as the game client where player C is located) participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client 302; in response to the target viewing request, a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client 302 and the target virtual server 304, wherein the target virtual server 304 includes a group of target processes (such as target process 304-1, target process 304-2, target process 304-3, etc.), and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud. The number of processes in a group of target processes is set to be adjusted according to the target viewing load associated with the virtual game game, and the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game game is being watched.

[0111] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target virtual server can be but is not limited to a service deployed in the cloud, such as an event message consumer server (WatchPod). When a player in the game watches an event, the client first connects to a WatchPod, and then pulls the message from the cloud message queue for playback; the target virtual server can also be but is not limited to being understood as a group of processes deployed to the cloud, and the number of processes can be automatically expanded according to the current load; through the above-mentioned target virtual server, it is basically possible to achieve complete decoupling from the current business process, and it can automatically scale according to the load of the current service to dynamically reach a load balancing state to ensure the player's viewing experience.

[0112] Optionally, in this embodiment, the communication connection relationship can be, but is not limited to, an association relationship actively or passively created by the first game client or the target virtual server in response to a target viewing request triggered on the first game client. After the communication connection relationship is established, the communication connection relationship can be used to transfer data or interact information between the first game client and the target virtual server.

[0113] Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual game match participated by the second game client may be, but not limited to, a virtual game match corresponding to the internal logic service provided in the first game client, or may be, but not limited to, a virtual game match corresponding to an internal logic service not provided in the first game client, and no limitation is made here. However, it should be noted that, in the case where the virtual game match participated by the second game client is a virtual game match corresponding to the internal logic service provided in the first game client, the problem of the serious degree of coupling between the services in the game client will be more significant, and it is also more suitable for the implementation of the above-mentioned method for displaying the game screen.

[0114] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being watched, wherein the number of resources can be understood as, but not limited to, the number of users watching the virtual game match or the traffic carried, etc.; furthermore, the size of the target viewing load can be, but not limited to, a positive correlation with the number of resources carried by the target process, such as the more resources carried by the target process, the larger the target viewing load, and vice versa; in addition, the number of processes of the target process can be, but not limited to, a positive correlation with the size of the target viewing load, such as the larger the target viewing load, the larger the number of processes of the target process, and vice versa.

[0115] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target live broadcast data may include, but is not limited to, game progress data of the virtual game match, and in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, the first client may, but is not limited to, flexibly adjust the display progress of the game screen of the virtual game match and the display angle of the game screen of the virtual game match, wherein the display angle may be, but is not limited to, understood as the viewing angle corresponding to each client participating in the virtual game match;

[0116] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 4 As shown, in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, in response to the play request triggered on the account identifier 404, the game screen 402 from the perspective associated with the client corresponding to the account identifier 404 is displayed.

[0117] It should be noted that a target viewing request triggered on the first game client is obtained, wherein the target viewing request is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game match in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed in the first game client; in response to the target viewing request, a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and the target virtual server, wherein the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, the target process is a process deployed in the cloud, and the number of processes in a group of target processes is set to be adjusted according to the target viewing load associated with the virtual game match, and the target viewing load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is watched; target live broadcast data of the virtual game match sent by the target virtual server is received through the communication connection relationship, wherein the target live broadcast data is data of the game screen of the virtual game match to be synchronously displayed in the first game client; and the game screen of the virtual game match is synchronously displayed in the first game client.

[0118] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 5 As shown, a target viewing request 502-2 triggered on the first game client 502 is obtained, and a communication connection relationship between the first game client 502 and the target virtual server 504 is established, such as Figure 5As shown in (a), the target spectator request 502-2 is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client 502, and the target virtual server 504 includes a group of target processes (such as target process 504-1, target process 504-2, and target process 504-3), and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud;

[0119] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown in (b), when the target virtual server 504 obtains the target spectator load 506 associated with the virtual game match, the process quantity of the target process included in the target virtual server 504 is adjusted according to the target spectator load 506 to obtain the adjusted target virtual server 508 (such as target process 504-1, target process 504-2, target process 504-3, target process 504-4), wherein the target spectator load 506 is the quantity of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being spectated;

[0120] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown in (c), when the target live broadcast data 508-2 of the virtual game game is obtained by using the adjusted target virtual server 508, the target live broadcast data 508-2 is sent to the first game client 502 through the communication connection relationship to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game game in the first game client 502, wherein the target live broadcast data 508-2 is the data of the game screen of the virtual game game to be synchronously displayed in the first game client 502.

[0121] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, a target spectator request triggered on a first game client is obtained, wherein the target spectator request is used to request that the game screen of the virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client; in response to the target spectator request, a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and a target virtual server, wherein the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, the target process is a process deployed in the cloud, and the number of processes in a group of target processes is set to be adjusted according to a target spectator load associated with the virtual game game, and the target spectator load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game game is being watched; receiving a message sent by the target virtual server through the communication connection relationship. Target live broadcast data of a virtual game match, wherein the target live broadcast data is data of a game screen of a virtual game match to be synchronously displayed in a first game client; synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, through the communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, using the target spectator load as an adjustment basis, automatically adjusting the number of processes of a target process deployed in the cloud for synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match participated by the second game client in the first game client, thereby achieving the purpose of timely adjusting the number of processes of the target process for synchronously displaying the game screen, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the display efficiency of the game screen.

[0122] As an optional solution, after obtaining the target spectator request triggered on the first game client, the following steps are included:

[0123] S1, sending a target spectator request to a spectator management process, wherein the spectator management process is used to query the game information of the virtual game;

[0124] S2. When valid game information returned by the spectator management process is obtained, the first game client is set to a spectator state, wherein the valid game information is the game information of the virtual game game queried by the spectator management process, and the first game client in the spectator state is allowed to establish a communication connection with the target virtual server.

[0125] Optionally, in this embodiment, the spectator management process may be, but is not limited to, a spectator event information management process, which is used to manage event information required to be transmitted by the spectator service.

[0126] As an optional solution, a target spectator request is sent to the spectator management process, including:

[0127] The target viewing request is sent to the non-event viewing management process, and the non-event viewing management process forwards the target viewing request to the event viewing management process.

[0128] Optionally, in this embodiment, the game client is usually configured with a non-event viewing management process and an event viewing management process. In order to decouple the relationship between non-event services and event services, the target viewing request can be sent to the non-event viewing management process first, and then the non-event viewing management process forwards the target viewing request to the event viewing management process.

[0129] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 8 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0130] Step S802, the first game client 802 sends a target viewing request to the non-game viewing management process 804;

[0131] Step S804, the non-event viewing management process 504 forwards the target viewing request to the event viewing management process 806;

[0132] Step S806, the game viewing management process 806 returns the game valid information to the non-game viewing management process 504;

[0133] Step S808 , the non-game viewing management process 504 forwards the game validity information to the first game client 802 .

[0134] Through the embodiments provided in the present application, the target viewing request is sent to the non-event viewing management process, and the non-event viewing management process forwards the target viewing request to the event viewing management process, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the coupling between the internal logical services of the game client and realizing the effect of improving the display efficiency of the game screen.

[0135] As an optional solution, establishing a communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server includes:

[0136] A communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and the target virtual server according to the address information of the target virtual server contained in the effective game information.

[0137] It should be noted that a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and the target virtual server based on the address information of the target virtual server included in the effective game information.

[0138] Further explanation and example, optional based on Figure 8 The scenario shown, continues with Fig. 9 In step S902 shown, a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and the target virtual server according to the address information of the target virtual server contained in the effective game information.

[0139] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, a communication connection relationship is established between the first game client and the target virtual server based on the address information of the target virtual server contained in the effective information of the game, thereby achieving the purpose of establishing a communication connection relationship in a targeted manner using the address information of the target virtual server and realizing the effect of improving the authenticity of establishing the communication connection relationship.

[0140] As an optional solution, before obtaining the target spectating request triggered on the first game client, the following steps are included:

[0141] Displaying a target spectator interface of the first game client, wherein the target spectator interface displays a spectator logo corresponding to a game match in which at least one client participates, and the at least one client includes a second game client;

[0142] As an optional solution, obtaining a target viewing request triggered on a first game client includes: obtaining a target viewing request when a selection operation is triggered on obtaining a target viewing identifier, wherein the viewing identifier corresponding to a game match in which at least one client participates includes a target viewing identifier.

[0143] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target live broadcast data may include, but is not limited to, game progress data of the virtual game match, and in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, the first client may, but is not limited to, flexibly adjust the display progress of the game screen of the virtual game match and the display angle of the game screen of the virtual game match, wherein the display angle may be, but is not limited to, understood as the viewing angle corresponding to each client participating in the virtual game match;

[0144] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 4 As shown, in the process of synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game match in the first game client, in response to the play request triggered on the account identifier 404, the game screen 402 from the perspective associated with the client corresponding to the account identifier 404 is displayed.

[0145] As an optional solution, the method further includes:

[0146] S1, obtaining a target running request triggered on a first game client, wherein the target running request is used to run a target virtual game on the first game client, and the game of the target virtual game includes a virtual game game;

[0147] S2, displaying a game running screen of a target virtual game in which the first game client participates.

[0148] Optionally, there is an essential difference between the game client and the live broadcast client generally used to provide only the viewing service. For example, in addition to providing the viewing service of the virtual game, the game client can also provide, but is not limited to, the internal logic service of the virtual game, which leads to the situation that the virtual game viewing service and the internal logic service of the virtual game are easily coupled during the operation of the game client. In the process of providing the viewing service for the spectators, the live broadcast data generated by the viewing service must be forwarded by each logic server layer by layer, which results in the viewing service provided by the game client facing a limited number of participants, and the viewing objects are usually limited to the objects that have been eliminated in a single game;

[0149] In this embodiment, in order to overcome the problem of serious coupling between the services in the game client, through the communication connection relationship between the first game client and the target virtual server, the target viewing load is used as an adjustment basis to automatically adjust the number of processes of the target process deployed in the cloud for synchronously displaying the game screen of the virtual game game participated by the second game client in the first game client, thereby reducing the coupling between the services in the game client and ensuring the user experience when viewing the game.

[0150] As an optional solution, for ease of understanding, the above-mentioned game screen display method is applied to the viewing scene of PVP events in MMO games, aiming to meet the needs of a large number of MMO players to watch high-level game competitions in the first place.

[0151] Optionally, in this embodiment, considering that the number of players watching a game online at the same time in an MMO game may reach tens of thousands or even millions, and the amount of messages generated by recording a game is also huge, it is necessary to consider what kind of message forwarding mechanism to adopt to meet the high-throughput business needs.

[0152] In addition, the business side has implemented a set of event message consumer services, and all messages generated in the watched games are directly pushed to the cloud message queue. When players watch the game in the game, the client first connects to a certain event message consumer service and pulls messages from the cloud message queue for playback. The event message consumer service is a service deployed in the cloud, which can basically achieve complete decoupling from the current business process, and can automatically scale according to the load of the current service, dynamically achieve a load balancing state, and ensure the player's viewing experience.

[0153] Optionally, in this embodiment, in a game competition, a large number of unqualified players can watch the same competition from a third-party perspective in different game areas. Without participating in the game process and without affecting the fairness of the game skill competition, they can closely observe and learn the game operations of other high-level players to improve their own competitive level. For example, a third-party player can select any player of interest in the current competition as an observation object, and obtain the same real game experience as himself from the perspective of the currently selected player.

[0154] It should be noted that the game business side only needs to classify various game messages, package and send them to the cloud message queue; use the go language to make the event message consumer server meet the requirements of the cloud deployment rules, and then achieve complete decoupling of the event message consumer server and the current business process; in addition, manage a large number of player client connections and cache, pull messages from the cloud storage message queue and manage caches, and these caches can be rebuilt. In addition, the direct deployment to the cloud can achieve the effect of decoupling the game business side and the spectator service side.

[0155] To further illustrate, the optional Fig.10 In the spectator service framework shown, the client 1002 uses the spectator service 1004 to obtain the game information stored in the message queue 1006, and displays the game information on the client 1002 in the form of a game screen;

[0156] For details, please refer to Fig.11 The spectator service message sequence diagram shown in the figure is as follows:

[0157] The game client 1102 sends a CS viewing request to the non-event viewing management process 1104, and the non-event viewing management process 1104 transmits the request to the event viewing management process 1106 to query the viewing information; after receiving the request, the event viewing management process 1106 queries whether there is any information about the game on the spot, and if not, notifies the event process 1108; initializes the event information and reports it, and the event viewing management process 1106 returns it to the request end after receiving the event information; if it can be found, it directly returns the event information. At the same time, the event process 1108 starts recording the current game and pushes the produced message to the message queue 1112. After the non-event viewing management process 1104 on the request end queries the event information, it sets the player to the viewing state and returns the event information to the game client 1102. The game client 1102 receives the event information returned by the non-event viewing management process 1104, takes out the address of the virtual server 1110 inside, and connects to the virtual server 1110. Virtual server 1110 is a group of processes deployed to the cloud. The number of processes can be automatically expanded according to the current load. It has two main functions: one is to consume all the event messages requested to be watched by game client 1102 from the message queue 1112, and cache the messages in order according to the events; the other is to accept the viewing request sent by the player game client 1102, and take out the protocol message of the current event watched by the player from the cache, and push it to the game client 1102 continuously.

[0158] In addition, after the game client 1102 receives the message of the game to be watched from the virtual server 1110, it replays it in the order of the message.

[0159] The embodiments provided in this application effectively solve the needs of a large number of players to watch the same high-level competitive game in different game areas, reduce the coupling between the internal logical servers of the product, and can automatically expand the capacity according to the current viewing load, ensuring that players have a smoother viewing experience.

[0163] A first acquisition unit 1202 is configured to acquire a communication connection relationship between the first game client and a target virtual server in response to a target spectator request triggered on the first game client, wherein the target spectator request is used to request that a game screen of a virtual game game in which the second game client participates be synchronously displayed on the first game client, and the target virtual server includes a group of target processes, and the target process is a process deployed in the cloud;

[0164] The adjusting unit 1204 is configured to adjust the number of target processes included in the target virtual server according to the target spectator load when the target spectator load associated with the virtual game match is obtained, wherein the target spectator load is the number of resources carried by the target process when the virtual game match is being spectated;

[0165] The first display unit 1206 is used to obtain the target live broadcast data of the virtual game game by using the adjusted target virtual server, and send the target live broadcast data to the first game client through a communication connection relationship, so as to synchronously display the game screen of the virtual game game in the first game client, wherein the target live broadcast data is the data of the game screen of the virtual game game to be synchronously displayed in the first game client.

[0166] Optionally, the above-mentioned display device of the game screen can be used, but not limited to, in the scene of watching the competitive events of the virtual game.
