[0046] Figure 8 This is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for providing pixel art according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0047] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0048] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for providing pixel art, which can be applied to a server to provide pixel art according to client requests. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps 101 to 105:

[0049] In step 101, a request to provide pixel art is received from the client.

[0050] The client could be an app installed on the user's device. Once the user enters the app, the client sends a request to the server to provide the pixel art, thus displaying the pixel art to the user. Alternatively, the app could display thumbnails of several pixel art images; when the user selects a particular pixel art image, the client sends a request to the server to provide that image.

[0051] In step 102, basic information of the pixel painting is obtained from the first database. The basic information includes canvas width, canvas height, and color code table.

[0052] Here, canvas width and canvas height refer to the canvas width and height of the pixel art requested by the client, respectively. Pixel art is typically presented using visually visible (i.e., visible to the naked eye) pixel units. Information such as canvas width and height can be represented by the number of pixel units. The color code table is pre-set; its function is to pre-encode the pixel art according to the color code table and for the client to decode the pixel art using the color code table. The specific scheme for encoding the pixel art will be described in detail below. In one embodiment, the color code table uses preset bits to represent colors; for example, four bits can represent 16 colors. Figure 2 As shown, the binary codes corresponding to the hexadecimal codes of 16 colors are schematically illustrated. Hexadecimal codes are typically used to represent colors.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first database may include a MySQL database, which is powerful for persistently storing data to disk, but has a relatively slow read speed.

[0054] In step 103, the canvas data of the pixel painting is obtained from the second database. The canvas data includes encoded data obtained by color encoding and coordinate encoding of the pixel painting, taking the visually visible pixel units as units. The color encoding is performed according to the color code table.

[0055] The second database stores encoded pixel art data. In one embodiment, the second database can be a Redis database, which is used to store frequently accessed data in a cache for fast read speeds.

[0056] The advantage of storing the basic information of pixel art and the canvas data in two separate databases is that frequently used data is stored in the database with fast read speed, reducing the number of times the slower database is accessed, thus improving operating efficiency.

[0057] In step 104, the basic information and canvas data are sent to the client so that the client can decode the requested pixel art based on the basic information and canvas data.

[0058] Once the client receives the basic information and canvas data, it will decode the canvas data based on the canvas width, canvas height, and color code table in the basic information to obtain the original pixel art.

[0059] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the pixel painting is encoded by color encoding and coordinate encoding, taking the visually visible pixel units as the unit. The encoding and decoding method is simple and does not require complex calculations. Furthermore, the encoded data is stored in two databases respectively. The server obtains the encoded data of the pixel painting by reading these two databases, which is highly efficient.

[0060] In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of encoding the pixel art, for example, the step of encoding the pixel art may include: steps A1 to A3:

[0061] Step A1: For each visually visible pixel unit in the pixel art: obtain the color code corresponding to the color of the pixel unit according to the color code table; calculate the offset of the pixel unit's position in the encoded data according to the preset coordinate transformation formula.

[0062] Step A2: Arrange the color codes of all pixel units according to their corresponding offsets to obtain the encoded data;

[0063] like Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a pixel art encoding method. For example, encoding a 2x2 pixel image, such as for pixel unit (0,0) (where a pixel unit refers to a visible cell in the pixel art), its color is red (hexadecimal code #d71345), according to... Figure 2 The example uses a preset color code table to encode colors; the color code for the (0,0) pixel unit is 0101. The coordinates of the (0,0) pixel unit also need to be encoded. This encoding can be done using the following formula: offset = x + y * canvas width, where x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the pixel unit, respectively, and the canvas width refers to the horizontal number of pixel units drawn in the image (2 in this example). The calculated offset is the offset of the encoded data for that pixel unit from all the encoded data. For example, all encoded data can be stored in a list. Based on the above formula, the offset of the (0,0) pixel unit is calculated to be 0.

[0064] For example, for the (0,1) pixel unit, its color is yellow (hexadecimal code #ffc20e), according to... Figure 2The example uses a preset color code table to encode colors; the color code for pixel unit (0,1) is 0110. The coordinates of pixel unit (0,1) also need to be encoded. Again, according to the above formula, the calculated offset is the offset of the encoded data for that pixel unit within all encoded data. According to the above formula, the offset for pixel unit (0,0) is calculated to be 1. This process can be repeated to encode each pixel unit in the pixel art. The encoded data can be, for example, a table storing the color code of each pixel unit according to the calculated offset. Those skilled in the art should understand that pixel art encoding can be performed by any applicable terminal; this application does not limit the executing entity.

[0065] Step A3: Send the basic information of the pixel art to the first database for storage, and send the encoded data of the pixel art to the second database for storage.

[0066] The pixel art encoding scheme proposed in this embodiment consumes minimal storage; for a 10,000-grid pixel art on a 16-color canvas, the encoded data size is only approximately 4kB. In one embodiment, after encoding the pixel art, basic information such as the color code table, canvas width, and canvas height can be stored in a MySQL database. The encoded canvas data, i.e., the table storing the color code of each pixel according to its offset, can be stored in a Redis database. The data stored in the database is used to retrieve the pixel art when the client requests it.

[0067] After step 104 sends the basic information of the pixel art and the canvas data to the client, the client decodes the requested pixel art based on this information. The decoding process is the inverse operation of the encoding process. For example... Figure 4 As shown, after receiving the basic information of the pixel art and the canvas data sent by the server, the client decodes the color of each pixel unit according to the 4-bit encoding in the canvas data and the preset color code table, and obtains the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the corresponding pixel unit based on the offset of each 4-bit encoding in the table. The coordinate transformation formula is, for example:

[0068] x-axis = offset % canvas width (remainder);

[0069] The vertical axis y = offset / canvas width (round down if there is a remainder).

[0070] The implementation process will be described in detail below through examples.

[0071] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for providing pixel art according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0072] Step 501: The client APP sends a request for pixel art to the server.

[0073] Step 502: The server sends a request to the database MySQL to obtain the basic canvas information of the pixel art.

[0074] Step 503: The MySQL database returns basic canvas information to the server. This basic canvas information includes fixed information such as canvas width, canvas height, and color code table.

[0075] Step 504: The server sends a request to the Redis database to retrieve the canvas data of the pixel drawing.

[0076] Step 505: The Redis database sends canvas data to the server.

[0077] If the canvas data of the pixel art is large, for example, if the pixel art contains 10,000 squares, then a loop can be used to traverse it, obtaining a preset amount of canvas data each time, that is, repeating steps 504 and 505 until all canvas data is obtained.

[0078] Step 506: The server sends the basic canvas information and canvas data to the client APP so that the client can decode the requested pixel art based on the received basic information and canvas data.

[0079] The following are embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention, which can be used to execute embodiments of the method of the present invention.
