[0052] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the system architecture of an exemplary application environment of a method and apparatus for entering a game copy according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, system architecture 100 may include multiple mobile terminals 101, 102, 103, a network 104, and a server 105. Network 104 is a medium for providing communication links between mobile terminals 101, 102, 103 and server 105. Network 104 may include various connection types, such as wireless communication links.

[0054] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of mobile terminals, networks and servers in the embodiment is merely illustrative. Any number of mobile terminals, networks and servers may be provided as needed. For example, the server 105 may be a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0055] The mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 may be various electronic devices with processors, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, portable computers, and the like. The server 105 may be a server that provides various services. For example, the mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 may provide a graphical user interface, and provide a switching control between a real map interface and a virtual map interface on the graphical user interface, and then switch from the real map interface to the virtual map interface in response to a virtual map switching operation acting on the switching control. The server 105 may notify the mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 to display the corresponding game copy entrance on the virtual map interface when the preset conditions are met, and then determine a target game copy in response to a selection operation for the game copy entrance, and open the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy, thereby entering the target game copy.

[0056] This exemplary embodiment first provides a method for entering a game copy, which is applied to a terminal device, and a graphical user interface is provided on the terminal device. Figure 2 As shown, the method for entering the above-mentioned game copy may include the following steps:

[0057] Step S210: Provide a switching control between a real map interface and a virtual map interface on the graphical user interface, wherein the map data of the real map interface and the virtual map interface correspond to each other.

[0058] Step S220: In response to the virtual map switching operation on the switching control, switch from the real map interface to the virtual map interface.

[0059] Step S230. When the preset conditions are met, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface.

[0060] Step S240: In response to the selection operation on the game copy entrance, a target game copy is determined.

[0061] Step S250. Open the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy, thereby entering the target game copy.

[0062] In the method for entering a game copy in an example embodiment of the present disclosure, a switching control between a real map interface and a virtual map interface is provided on a graphical user interface, wherein the map data of the real map interface corresponds to the map data of the virtual map interface, and in response to the virtual map switching operation acting on the switching control, the real map interface is switched to the virtual map interface. When the preset conditions are met, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface, and then in response to the selection operation for the game copy entrance, a target game copy is determined, and the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy is opened, thereby allowing the player to enter the target game copy. The method for entering a game copy in an example embodiment of the present disclosure, by sharing the map data in the real map interface and the virtual map interface, can trigger the opening of the game copy based on the player's real action trajectory, breaking the traditional game mode and enhancing the player's interaction in the real world.

[0063] Next, combine Figures 3 to 6 The above steps of this exemplary embodiment are described in more detail.

[0064] In step S210, a switching control between a real map interface and a virtual map interface is provided on a graphical user interface, wherein the map data of the real map interface and the virtual map interface correspond to each other.

[0065] In this example embodiment, a real-world map interface and a virtual map interface can be provided on a terminal device's graphical user interface via map software. The real-world map interface is used to display a real-world map, while the virtual map interface is used to display a virtual map corresponding to the real-world map. The map data in the real-world map interface and the virtual map interface are interoperable. Specifically, all virtual places and locations in the virtual map correspond to places and locations in the real map. By combining real-world map data with game data, the virtual map interface can display a distribution map of active players for various popular games based on the real-world location information of the game players.

[0066] The graphical user interface is provided with a switch control between the real map interface and the virtual map interface. Through the switch control, the function of switching between the real map interface and the virtual map interface can be realized on the graphical user interface.

[0067] In step S220, in response to a virtual map switching operation on the switching control, the real map interface is switched to the virtual map interface.

[0068] In this example embodiment, players can switch virtual maps by clicking a switch control on the graphical user interface, switching from the real map interface to the virtual map interface. Players can view the distribution map of active players in various related games in the virtual map interface, thereby encouraging players to engage in social activities in the virtual space.

[0069] In step S230, when the preset conditions are met, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface.

[0070] In this example embodiment, when preset conditions are met, a corresponding game dungeon entrance can be displayed on the virtual map interface. Preset conditions can include, for example, determining whether the number of online players in a certain area has reached a certain threshold, or determining whether the current player is at a specified location. The game dungeon in this example embodiment can be understood as an Easter egg-style game dungeon, which is triggered only when the preset conditions are met.

[0071] In this example implementation, the game copy can be triggered based on the number of online players in the area where the current player is located. Figure 3 As shown, when the preset conditions are met, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0072] Step S310: Determine the number of online players in each unit area in the virtual map interface according to the map data, and determine the player number threshold corresponding to the unit area according to the map data.

[0073] The number of online players refers to the number of online players corresponding to the associated game related to the player who controls the operation of the terminal device.

[0074] In this example implementation, each geographical area in the map may be divided into multiple unit areas in a grid format, and the number of active players of the same associated game in the same unit area may be detected to determine the copy triggering mechanism.

[0075] In this example implementation, Figure 4 As shown, determining the player number threshold corresponding to a unit area based on map data may include the following steps:

[0076] Step S410: Obtain the total number of regional players of the associated game in the real area where the unit area is located according to the map data, and obtain the area of the real area.

[0077] The player's geographic location information can be obtained through game data. Combined with real map data, the total number of regional players of related games in the real area where the unit area is located can be obtained. The area of the real area where the unit area is located can also be obtained, where the real area can be, for example, a province or a city.

[0078] Step S420: Obtain the player density coefficient in the real area where the unit area is located based on the ratio of the total number of players in the area to the area of the area.

[0079] The player density coefficient α in the real area where the current unit area is located = the total number of players in the area x / area y.

[0080] Step S430: Obtain the player number threshold corresponding to all unit areas in the real area based on the total number of players in the area and the player density coefficient.

[0081] According to the product of the total number of players in the area and the player density coefficient, the player number threshold α*x corresponding to all unit areas in the real area can be obtained.

[0082] Step S320: The unit area where the player is located is determined as the target area, and when the number of online players of the associated game in the target area is greater than or equal to the player number threshold, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface.

[0083] When the number of online players N of the associated game in the target area where the player is located is greater than α*x, the map grid corresponding to the target area can be highlighted, and then the corresponding game copy entrance can be displayed on the virtual map interface.

[0084] In this example implementation, in addition to determining whether to display the corresponding game instance entrance on the virtual map interface based on the number of online players of the associated game within the target area, determination may also be made based on the current player's location.

[0085] In this example implementation, in response to the player controlling the terminal device being at a designated location in the real map interface, a game copy entrance may be displayed at a location in the virtual map interface corresponding to the designated location.

[0086] When the player is at a specified location in the real map interface, such as entering a pre-set area, the game copy entrance can be displayed at a position corresponding to the specified location in the virtual map interface.

[0087] In this example embodiment, in response to the player controlling the terminal device operation being at a designated location in the real map interface and the length of stay in the designated location being greater than or equal to a stay time threshold, the game copy entrance can be displayed at a position corresponding to the designated location in the virtual map interface.

[0088] When the player is at a specified location in the real map interface, such as entering a pre-set area, and stays at the specified location for more than a period of time, the game copy entrance can be displayed at the position corresponding to the specified location in the virtual map interface.

[0089] In this example implementation, the corresponding game copy entrance can be displayed through the metaverse virtual space. Specifically, when the preset conditions are met, the metaverse virtual space can be connected to through the virtual map interface, and the corresponding game copy entrance can be displayed in the metaverse virtual space.

[0090] The Metaverse is a virtual world connected and created through technological means, mirroring and interacting with the real world. It is a digital living space that embodies a new social system. This is achieved through Metaverse virtual space construction technology and somatosensory device technology. Users connect to the Metaverse virtual space through somatosensory devices (including but not limited to game consoles, helmets, glasses, mobile phones, etc.). This space is a one-to-one reproduction of reality, allowing users to engage in a variety of immersive experiences such as socializing, gaming, working, and learning.

[0091] Currently, the metaverse virtual space is actively built and generated, and an entry path is provided to a small number of users for experience services. After the virtual scene of the game is built and generated, it is only provided to game players for internal experience. The entry method is single, the channel coverage is narrow, the number of people who can use it is small, and it is difficult for users to obtain information. Therefore, the degree of promotion is very low. Moreover, the virtual space is separated from the real world, and the concepts of entry and exit are obvious. It cannot achieve the smooth transition effect of virtual reality and lacks interaction with the real world.

[0092] In this example implementation, by displaying corresponding game instance entrances within the Metaverse virtual space, players can enter the virtual map interface and connect to the Metaverse virtual space by plugging in a motion-sensing device, entering Player Mode. The Metaverse virtual space can be linked to multiple games, establishing data channels for data and message exchange. When pre-set conditions are met, players can view the corresponding game instance entrances for multiple linked games within the Metaverse virtual space.

[0093] Figure 5 The diagram schematically shows a game copy entrance in the metaverse virtual space according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the frustum 501 and the frustum 502 are the game copy entrances of two related games, and the game logos 503 and 505 corresponding to the two related games can be displayed on the frustum 501 and the frustum 502 respectively, and the corresponding entrance opening time countdown can be displayed at the same time.

[0094] Continue to refer Figure 2As shown, in step S240, in response to a selection operation on a game copy entrance, a target game copy is determined.

[0095] In this example implementation, the player can select any one of multiple game copy entrances, and the system can determine a target game copy based on the player's selection operation.

[0096] In step S250, the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy is opened to enter the target game copy.

[0097] After the player selects the target game copy, the terminal device can open the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy, thereby allowing the player to enter the target game copy.

[0098] In this example implementation, when the game copy entrance corresponding to the target game copy is opened, the opening time of the game copy entrance can be displayed, for example, the opening time limit of the game copy entrance is 24 hours.

[0099] In this example embodiment, after the game instance entrance corresponding to the target game instance is opened, the opening information of the game instance entrance corresponding to the target game instance can be pushed to other terminal devices. For example, the opening information of the game instance entrance corresponding to the target game instance can be pushed to other users in the map software, or to other players in the associated game, so that other people can also receive the instance opening information and enter the target game instance together.

[0100] In this example implementation, if information is pushed through map software, the game copy scene generation range is within the highlighted grid range of the real map, the virtual scene corresponds to the real geographical location, and players in the grid who meet the triggering conditions can directly enter the game copy scene. In addition, the game copy opening information can also be pushed to other users in other unit areas adjacent to the target area through the map software, and a navigation control can be provided in the opening information prompt box displayed on the terminal devices of other users. When other users click on the navigation control, the corresponding user identification can be provided on their terminal devices, and a navigation route to the target area can be provided. When other users move to the target area, they can also enter the target game copy through the game copy entrance in the target area.

[0101] like Figure 6 As shown, by pushing the opening information 602 of the target game copy in real time on the interface 601 of the map software, an invitation is sent to the map software users in the adjacent unit area near the location of the target area, and they navigate to the target area where the copy is opened, and enter the target game copy through the game copy entrance in the target area.

[0102] In this example implementation, the game dungeon opening information can also be pushed to other players in the linked game via the game server. The game map coordinates corresponding to the internal game dungeon entrance of the linked game are displayed in the opening information prompt box displayed within the linked game, and a corresponding dungeon prompt control is provided. When another player in the linked game clicks the dungeon prompt control, the other player's corresponding virtual character in the game can be moved to the internal game dungeon entrance corresponding to the game map coordinates, allowing the other player to enter the target game dungeon through the internal game dungeon entrance.

[0103] like Figure 7 As shown, by pushing the activation information 702 of the target game copy to the entire server on the game server, it is displayed in the form of a pop-up window on the game interface 701 of all game players, so that other players can go to the internal game copy entrance in the game after seeing the information in the pop-up window, and remind players to connect the somatosensory device to enter the target game copy scene experience.

[0104] In this example implementation, after opening the corresponding game copy entrance of the associated game in the metaverse virtual space, the information dissemination channel is increased through cross-platform game push, making it easier for players to obtain relevant information and enter the game copy, while also improving the promotion of the metaverse virtual space.

[0105] It should be noted that although the steps of the method of the present disclosure are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in this specific order, or that all steps must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps.

[0114] The player number judgment unit can be used to determine the unit area where the player is located as the target area, and when the number of online players of the associated game in the target area is greater than or equal to the player number threshold, the corresponding game copy entrance is displayed on the virtual map interface.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the player number determination unit may include a player total number determination unit, a player density determination unit, and a player number threshold determination unit.
