[0037] Figure 1 A flowchart of a game display method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to the case of game display, and is particularly applicable to the case of displaying only a preview picture of one game on a display screen, and then switching and displaying a preview picture of another game in response to a game switching operation. The method can be performed by a game display device, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. Optionally, the method can be implemented by a terminal, which can be a mobile terminal or a personal computer (PC) terminal, and can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 the method is applied to a client, and the method comprises:

[0039] S110, in a game preview mode, displaying a preview picture of a game before switching on a display screen.

[0040] The game preview mode can be understood as a mode in which game content of a game can be previewed. Specifically, the game preview mode can be understood as a mode in which game content of a game is allowed to be previewed before the game is run or after the game is run. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the game content can be presented through a preview picture of the game. The display screen can be a screen on a terminal that can be used to display the preview picture, for example, a screen of a mobile phone or a screen of a tablet computer, etc. The preview picture of the pre-switch game can be a picture used to present game content of the pre-switch game. The pre-switch game can be a game browsed by a user (or a player) before a game switching operation is triggered. In the game preview mode, the preview picture of the pre-switch game is displayed on the display screen. In this way, the user can fully experience the game content of the pre-switch game through the display content (i.e., the preview picture of the pre-switch game) on the display screen, and thus determine whether the user is interested in the pre-switch game and whether the user wants to play the pre-switch game.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, optionally, the preview picture of the pre-switch game can be represented through a game picture or a game video of the pre-switch game. The game video can be a video recorded by the pre-switch game or a game replay of the pre-switch game played by another player, etc. In addition, specifically, the preview picture of the pre-switch game can be a running picture presented frame by frame following a running process of the pre-switch game. It should be emphasized that, although the preview picture of the pre-switch game presents an effect similar to playing a game video, the preview picture of the pre-switch game is not directly played by a game video prepared in advance. Instead, the preview picture of the pre-switch game displays a picture or a game scene composed of various game materials of the pre-switch game that have been loaded (i.e., can be directly run), and / or a game live of another player. Such a preview picture of the pre-switch game represents that the pre-switch game can be directly run, thereby allowing the user to play the pre-switch game immediately after the pre-switch game is started, without waiting for a game loading process, thereby improving the user's playing experience.

[0042] S120, in response to the game switching operation, switching, on the display screen, the display content from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to a preview picture of a post-switch game.

[0043] The game switching operation can be an operation input by a user (i.e., a player) for switching the currently displayed pre-switch game (or a preview picture of the pre-switch game). In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the game switching operation can be input in various manners, for example, by touching the display screen, by pressing a physical button on a terminal integrated with the display screen, or by performing pre-set voice information or gesture information. It can be understood that the input manner of the game switching operation can be set according to application scenarios, which is not limited herein. In this case, the game switching operation input by touching the display screen can include a sliding operation, a clicking operation, or a pressing operation on the display screen, which is not limited herein. Further, the sliding operation can be a sliding operation in a preset direction, which can be understood as a pre-set sliding direction, for example, a direction parallel to (i.e., up and down sliding) or perpendicular to (i.e., left and right sliding) the screen direction of the terminal.

[0044] In response to the game switching operation, a post-switch game to be switched is determined, and the display content of the display screen is switched from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to a preview picture of the post-switch game. The post-switch game can be a game browsed by the user after inputting the game switching operation, and the preview picture of the post-switch game can be understood as a picture for presenting the game content of the post-switch game. It should be noted that first, the pre-switch game and the post-switch game are different games, in other words, the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the preview picture of the post-switch game are preview pictures of different games, rather than different preview pictures of the same game. Second, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a preview picture of a game can be displayed on the display screen, that is, a game can be displayed on the display screen before or after the game switching, for example, full-screen display. Third, the presentation form of the preview picture of the post-switch game can be the same as or different from the presentation form of the preview picture of the pre-switch game, which is not limited herein. By displaying the preview picture of the post-switch game on the display screen, the user can fully experience the game content of the post-switch game through the display content (i.e., the preview picture of the post-switch game) on the display screen, thereby determining whether the user is interested in the post-switch game and whether the user wants to play the post-switch game.

[0045] In order to more intuitively understand the above technical solutions, the following will be exemplarily described in combination with specific examples. Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the game switching operation can be input by touching the display screen, and the game switching operation input by touching the display screen can include a sliding operation, a clicking operation, or a pressing operation on the display screen, which is not limited herein. Further, the sliding operation can be a sliding operation in a preset direction, which can be understood as a pre-set sliding direction, for example, a direction parallel to (i.e., up and down sliding) or perpendicular to (i.e., left and right sliding) the screen direction of the terminal. Figure 2aThe display screen displays a preview picture of the pre-switch game. If the user determines that the pre-switch game represented by the preview picture is not interesting by browsing the preview picture, the user inputs a game switch operation by sliding on the display screen. The terminal integrated with the display screen determines a post-switch game to be switched by responding to the game switch operation, and then switches the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to a preview picture of the post-switch game (as shown in Figure 2b Further, the user can determine whether the post-switch game represented by the preview picture displayed on the display screen is interesting by browsing the preview picture, and inputs a game switch operation by sliding on the display screen again if the post-switch game is not interesting. At this time, the terminal can regard the preview picture of the post-switch game as a preview picture of a pre-switch game, and complete the game switch process by executing the above steps again.

[0046] As can be seen from the above, on the one hand, the user makes the terminal switch the preview picture displayed on the display screen by sliding on the display screen, and the preview picture is switched and displayed repeatedly, which is like a waterfall effect, thereby allowing the user to fully experience the game content in the waterfall. On the other hand, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure displays only a preview picture of one game on the display screen each time, and then switches and displays a preview picture of another game by responding to a game switch operation triggered by the user, so that the user determines whether the currently displayed game is the game of interest, and finds the game of interest. In this way, compared with the implementation solution in which a plurality of preview pictures of games are displayed on the display screen at the same time, so that the user selects the game of interest from the plurality of simultaneously displayed games, the above technical solution does not require the user to face the complex game selection, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a client. The client displays a preview picture of a pre-switch game on a display screen in a game preview mode. In the case that a game switch operation is received, it indicates that a user is not interested in the pre-switch game represented by the displayed preview picture of the pre-switch game. Then, the client switches the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to a preview picture of a post-switch game in response to the game switch operation, so as to enable the user to determine whether the post-switch game represented by the displayed preview picture of the post-switch game is interesting, so that the user can find a game of interest. The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present disclosure effectively solves the problem that the user needs to face a large number of game selections due to the display of multiple preview pictures of games on the display screen, thereby improving the user's game experience.

[0048] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0049] starting the client in response to a client starting instruction, wherein the client is integrated with at least the pre-switch game and the post-switch game;

[0050] the displaying of the preview picture of the pre-switch game on the display screen comprises:

[0051] displaying a client homepage of the started client on the display screen, and displaying the preview picture of the pre-switch game on the client homepage.

[0052] The client starting instruction can be understood as an instruction for starting the client. The client starting instruction can be generated in various ways, for example, the client starting instruction can be generated when a trigger operation acting on a pre-set starting icon that can be used to initiate the client starting instruction is received, the starting icon can be a client icon of the client; or the client starting instruction can be generated when a pre-set trigger event for triggering the starting of the client is detected; or the client starting instruction can be generated when pre-set sound information or gesture information is detected. It can be understood that the generation manner of the client starting instruction can be set according to application scenarios, which is not specifically limited herein. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the client is integrated with at least two games, and the at least two games include the pre-switch game and the post-switch game. Another name of the client can be an application program (app) for implementing game display. The client is started in response to the client starting instruction.

[0053] In the case that the client is started, a client home page of the started client is displayed on a display screen, and a preview picture of a pre-switch game is displayed on the client home page. In this way, after the client is started (or said to be opened), the user can directly browse the preview picture of the pre-switch game on the client home page, which means that the user can directly play the game after opening the client, thereby further improving the user's playing experience.

[0054] Figure 3 is another game display method flowchart provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3 the method is applied to a client, and the method comprises:

[0056] S210, in a game preview mode, a preview picture of a current game is displayed on a display screen.

[0057] The current game can be the pre-switch game or the post-switch game in the above, and of course, it can also be a game other than the pre-switch game and the post-switch game, which is related to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0058] S220, in response to a trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game, a game running mode is entered, and a running picture of the current game running is displayed on the display screen.

[0059] The trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game can be understood as an operation for entering a game running mode, so as to run the current game. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the input mode of the trigger operation can be various, for example, the trigger operation can be input by directly touching the preview picture of the current game, or by clicking some area in the picture, clicking a control or button on the interface, clicking a menu option, or by pressing a physical button corresponding to the preview picture of the current game on a terminal integrated with the display screen, or by executing pre-set voice information or gesture information corresponding to the preview picture of the current game, and the like. It can be understood that the input mode of the trigger operation can be set according to the application scenario, which is not limited here. The game running mode can be understood as a mode in which the game can be run, so as to allow the user to play the game in the running state. The running picture can be understood as a picture presented by the current game in the running state to the outside, which can change with the user's playing of the current game. The game running mode is entered by receiving and responding to the trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game, so as to run the current game, so that the user can play the current game in the running state; and the running picture of the current game running is displayed on the display screen, so that the user can control the current game based on the displayed running picture.

[0060] The above technical solution displays the preview picture of the current game on the display screen in the game preview mode, and then responds to the trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game when the trigger operation is received, so as to enter the game running mode, run the current game, and display the running picture of the current game running on the display screen, thereby realizing the effect of playing immediately after clicking, that is, allowing the user to play the current game immediately after inputting the trigger operation, so as to ensure the user's game experience. Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0061] Displaying a game playing control corresponding to the preview picture of the current game on the display screen;

[0062] The response to the trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game switches the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the game before switching to the preview picture of the game after switching, which comprises:

[0063] The response to the trigger operation input for the game playing control switches the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the game before switching to the preview picture of the game after switching.

[0064] The game playing control corresponding to the preview picture of the current game is displayed on the display screen, so that the user plays the current game represented by the preview picture currently displayed on the display screen by triggering the game playing control. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the current game can be the game before switching or the game after switching, which is related to the actual situation and is not limited herein. In actual application, the game playing control can be represented in various ways, for example, it can be a button control, an option control or a sliding control (for example, a sliding control divided into two positions of playing and non-playing). Figure 2a and Figure 2b The game playing control represented by the triangular button control is displayed in the above two examples.

[0065] The triggering operation input for the game playing control is received, and the running picture of the current game is displayed on the display screen in response to the triggering operation input for the game playing control, so that the game running mode is entered. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the input mode of the triggering operation can be various, for example, it can be input by directly touching the game playing control, or it can be input by pressing the physical key corresponding to the game playing control on the terminal integrated with the display screen, or it can be input by performing the pre-set voice information or gesture information corresponding to the game playing control, and the like. It can be understood that the input mode of the triggering operation can be set according to the application scenario and is not limited herein. For example, the response to the triggering operation input for the game playing control can include: receiving a click operation acting on the game playing control, and taking the click operation as the triggering operation input for the game playing control; and responding to the triggering operation input for the game playing control, that is, responding to the click operation. In other words, the user can input the triggering operation by clicking the game playing control.

[0066] It should be noted that the reason for entering the current game by triggering the game playing control instead of directly entering the current game when the preview picture of the current game is displayed is that some control operations in the current game can conflict with the game switching operation, so that in order to ensure the accurate response of various operations, the game running mode is entered by triggering the game playing control, and the game switching operation is not triggered at this time.

[0067] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the following will be exemplarily described in combination with specific examples. For example, Figure 2aAs shown, here taking the preview picture of the game before switching as the preview picture of the current game as an example, when the user determines that he is interested in the current game represented by the currently displayed preview picture of the current game after browsing the preview picture of the current game displayed on the display screen, the user clicks the game playing control displayed in the middle part of the display screen. When the terminal receives the click operation on the game playing control, the terminal enters the game running mode in response to the click operation and runs the current game, and displays the running picture of the current game in the running state on the display screen, as shown in Figure 2c . .

[0068] . Figure 4 is another game display method flowchart provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, and the embodiment is an addition to the game display method in any of the above embodiments.

[0069] As shown in Figure 4 , the method is applied to a client, and the method comprises the following steps.

[0070] S310, in the game preview mode, display the preview picture of the game before switching on the display screen.

[0071] S320, in response to a game switching operation, switch the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the game before switching to the preview picture of the game after switching.

[0072] S330, in response to a trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game, enter the game running mode and display the running picture of the current game running on the display screen, wherein the current game comprises the game before switching or the game after switching.

[0073] The above technical solution effectively solves the problem that the user needs to face the problem of complex game selection because of displaying the preview pictures of multiple games on the display screen at the same time by switching the preview picture displayed on the display screen. On this basis, by responding to the trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game to enter the game running mode, running the current game, and displaying the running picture of the current game running on the display screen, the user can play immediately after clicking. The two cooperate with each other to greatly improve the user's playing experience.

[0074] Figure 5 is another game display method flowchart provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, and the embodiment is an addition to the game display method in any of the above embodiments.

[0075] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the method is applied to a client, and the method comprises:

[0076] S410, in the game preview mode, a preview picture of a pre-switch game is displayed on a display screen.

[0077] S420, in response to a game switch operation, a post-switch game to be switched is determined, and a universal game material that has been loaded is obtained, wherein the universal game material exists in both the preview picture of the pre-switch game and a preview picture to be generated of the post-switch game.

[0078] The universal game material can be understood as a game material that exists in both the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the preview picture of the post-switch game, that is, a game material that is needed when the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the preview picture of the post-switch game are generated, and that is a game material that is involved in both the pre-switch game and the post-switch game. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the game material can be a game scene material and / or a character role material, the game scene material can be used to represent an environment, a building, a machine, a prop, a weapon, etc. in a game, and the character role material can be used to represent a character, etc. in a game.

[0079] It should be noted that, since the preview picture of the pre-switch game has been displayed on the display screen, it indicates that the preview picture of the pre-switch game has been generated, and therefore all game materials used to generate the preview picture of the pre-switch game have been loaded, that is, the universal game material in the all game materials has been loaded, and therefore the universal game material that has been loaded can be directly obtained. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the universal game material can be loaded when the preview picture of the pre-switch game needs to be displayed, or can be loaded when the client is started, etc.

[0080] S430, loading a target game material, wherein the target game material is a game material that is not currently loaded in the preview picture to be generated of the post-switch game.

[0081] The target game material can be understood as a game material that is not currently loaded in the preview picture to be generated of the post-switch game, that is, a game material that is involved in the preview picture of the post-switch game and is not involved in the preview picture of the pre-switch game, and can be considered as a personalized game material in the preview picture of the post-switch game. The target game material is loaded, so as to generate the preview picture of the post-switch game based on a loading result.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, optionally, the target game material can be loaded by developing a game engine of the post-switch game. On this basis, optionally, the pre-switch game and the post-switch game can be developed based on the same game engine, which means that the game material in the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the game material in the preview picture of the post-switch game can be loaded based on the same game engine. The application of the same game engine ensures the loading speed of these game materials, and further ensures the free switching of each game / preview picture of each game in the waterfall flow.

[0083] S440, performing picture rendering based on the general game material and the loaded target game material to generate a preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0084] Since the general game material and the target game material in the preview picture of the post-switch game to be generated have been loaded, picture rendering can be performed based on these loaded general game material and target game material, so as to generate the preview picture of the post-switch game, so as to display the preview picture of the post-switch game on the display screen.

[0085] S450, switching the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to the preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0086] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the generated preview picture of the pre-switch game and the to-be-generated preview picture of the post-switch game contain the same game material (i.e. general game material), when generating the preview picture of the post-switch game, the loaded general game material can be directly obtained, and the target game material that has not been loaded is loaded, that is, all game materials involved in the preview picture of the post-switch game do not need to be loaded, thereby ensuring the generation speed of the preview picture of the post-switch game, so that the user can browse the preview picture of the post-switch game more quickly.

[0087] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0088] in response to a client start instruction, starting the client;

[0089] loading the general game material during the starting process of the client or after starting the client.

[0090] The specific meaning and generation method of the client starting instruction have been introduced above, and will not be described here again. The general game material can be loaded during the starting process of the client or after the client is started. In other words, the general game material can be loaded following the starting process of the client or immediately after the client is started. In this way, in the case where the preview picture of the pre-switch game needs to be generated, only the game materials other than the general game material in the preview picture of the pre-switch game need to be loaded, thereby ensuring the generation speed of the preview picture of the pre-switch game.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, optionally, for at least two games integrated in the client, the game materials involved in the preview pictures of most of the at least two games are loaded during the starting process of the client or after the client is started, thereby ensuring the fast generation of the preview pictures of most of the games. The generation speed of the preview picture directly affects the display speed of the preview picture, and further affects the user's game experience.

[0092] Optionally, the preview picture of the post-switch game is generated by performing picture rendering based on the general game material and the target game material that has been loaded.

[0093] The preview picture of the post-switch game is generated by performing picture rendering based on the general game material and the target game material that has been loaded through the game engine.

[0094] The pre-switch game and the post-switch game are both developed based on the game engine.

[0095] The generation process of the preview picture of the post-switch game can be realized through the game engine, specifically, the generation process of the preview picture of the post-switch game can be realized through the game engine that has been loaded on the client. On this basis, in the case where the pre-switch game and the post-switch game are both developed based on the same game engine, it means that the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the preview picture of the post-switch game can be generated based on the same game engine. In other words, after the preview picture of the pre-switch game is generated based on the game engine that has been loaded, when responding to the game switching operation, another game engine does not need to be switched (i.e. loaded), and the preview picture of the post-switch game can continue to be generated based on the previously loaded game engine, thereby further ensuring the generation speed of the preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0096] Figure 6Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another game display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment is an addition to the game display method of any of the above embodiments.

[0097] As shown in Figure 6 the method is applied to a client, and the method comprises:

[0098] S510, in a game preview mode, displaying a preview picture of a pre-switch game on a display screen.

[0099] S520, in response to a game switch operation, determining a post-switch game to be switched, and acquiring a general game material that has been loaded, wherein the general game material exists in both the preview picture of the pre-switch game and a preview picture of the post-switch game to be generated.

[0100] S530, loading a target game material, wherein the target game material is a game material that is not currently loaded in the preview picture of the post-switch game to be generated.

[0101] S540, performing picture rendering based on the general game material and the target game material that has been loaded, to generate the preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0102] S550, switching the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to the preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0103] S560, in response to a trigger operation input for a preview picture of a current game, entering a game running mode, and displaying a running picture of the current game on the display screen, wherein the current game comprises the pre-switch game or the post-switch game.

[0104] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure can quickly generate the preview picture of the pre-switch game and the preview picture of the post-switch game, i.e., can quickly generate the preview picture of the current game, so that the terminal can quickly respond to the trigger operation input by the user for the preview picture of the current game, thereby entering the game running mode, and achieving the effect of playing immediately after clicking.

[0105] Optionally, the displaying the running picture of the current game on the display screen comprises:

[0106] acquiring a current game material of the current game that has been loaded;

[0107] running the current game through the current game material, and displaying the running picture of the current game in a running state on the display screen.

[0108] It should be noted that, since the preview picture of the current game has been displayed on the display screen, and the preview picture of the current game is rendered based on the current game material in the preview picture of the current game, it indicates that the current game material has been loaded completely when the terminal responds to the trigger operation input for the preview picture of the current game, and thus the current game material loaded completely can be directly obtained, and the current game is directly run by using the current game material, and at this time, any game material does not need to be loaded. In this way, when the user needs to play the current game, the current game can be immediately run, without waiting for the loading process of the current game, and the effect of playing immediately after clicking is achieved. In the embodiment of the disclosure, optionally, in the case that the current game is the post-switch game, the current game material can be understood as the universal game material and the target game material; in the case that the current game is the pre-switch game, the current game material can be understood as the universal game material and the game material involved in the pre-switch game except the universal game material.

[0109] On this basis, optionally, in the case that the current game is the pre-switch game, before responding to the game switching operation, the method further includes:

[0110] displaying a game exit control on the display screen;

[0111] stopping running the pre-switch game in a running state in response to a trigger operation input for the game exit control, and displaying a preview picture of the pre-switch game on the display screen.

[0112] As described above, the game playing control is set to avoid the conflict between the control operation in the current game and the game switching operation, and for the same reason, when the user wants to switch to the remaining games, the current game currently played can also be exited. Specifically, a game exit control is displayed on the display screen, so that the user exits the current game by triggering the game exit control. Similar to the game playing control, the game exit control can also be represented in various ways, which will not be described herein. Here, taking the case that the current game includes the pre-switch game as an example, in response to a trigger operation input for the game exit control, the pre-switch game in a running state is stopped, and a preview picture of the pre-switch game is displayed on the display screen, and at this time, the user can trigger the game switching operation, so as to switch the game, thereby ensuring the accurate triggering of the game switching function. For example, taking the game running example shown in Figure 2c After the terminal stops running the pre-switch game in the running state, the terminal can display the preview picture of the pre-switch game on the display screen again. Figure 2aThe preview picture of the pre-switch game is shown.

[0113] Figure 7 Another game display method flow diagram is provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments are additional to the game display method in any of the above embodiments.

[0114] As Figure 7 The method is applied to a client, and the method includes:

[0115] S610, in the game preview mode, a preview picture of a pre-switch game is displayed on a display screen.

[0116] S620, in response to a game switch operation, a game pool is obtained, wherein the game pool contains at least two candidate games, the at least two candidate games include the pre-switch game and a post-switch game corresponding to the game switch operation.

[0117] The game pool can be understood as a set containing at least two candidate games, and the at least two candidate games include the pre-switch game and the post-switch game. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the current game represented by the preview picture displayed on the display screen is from the game pool.

[0118] S630, the post-switch game to be switched is determined from the at least two candidate games.

[0119] When the terminal needs to switch the display content of the display screen, the post-switch game to be switched can be determined from the at least two candidate games, so as to display the preview picture of the determined post-switch game on the display screen.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the post-switch game can be determined from the at least two candidate games based on various manners. For example, the game preference information of the trigger object of the game switch operation is determined, and / or the trigger time of the game switch operation is determined, and then the post-switch game is determined from the at least two candidate games based on the game preference information and / or the trigger time. The trigger object can be understood as an object triggering the game switch operation, i.e., the user or the player in the above. For the scheme of determining the post-switch game based on the game preference information, the candidate game matching the game preference information from the at least two candidate games can be determined as the post-switch game, so as to recommend the game that the trigger object can be interested in, thereby improving the distribution efficiency of the game. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the game preference information can be determined according to the game frequently played by the trigger object in the past, or determined according to the game preference filled by the trigger object, and the like, which is not limited herein. The trigger time can be understood as the time triggering the game switch operation. For the scheme of determining the post-switch game based on the trigger time, the candidate game matching the trigger time from the at least two candidate games can be determined as the post-switch game, so as to recommend the game that can meet the game playing experience and will not affect the normal work and rest of the trigger object, for example, recommending a relatively mild game in a pre-set rest time period, so as to not let the trigger object have difficulty in falling asleep because of the game being too intense.

[0121] For another example, the recommendation icon and the attention icon are displayed on the display screen, so that the recommendation information is obtained when the recommendation icon is selected, and the post-switch game to be switched is determined from the at least two candidate games based on the recommendation information, wherein the recommendation information represents the information of the game recommended by the client integrated with the game pool.

[0122] Or,

[0123] For another example, the recommendation icon and the attention icon are displayed on the display screen, so that the recommendation information is obtained when the recommendation icon is selected, and the post-switch game to be switched is determined from the at least two candidate games based on the recommendation information, wherein the recommendation information represents the information of the game recommended by the client integrated with the game pool.

[0124] For another example, the recommendation icon and the attention icon are displayed on the display screen, so that the recommendation information is obtained when the recommendation icon is selected, and the post-switch game to be switched is determined from the at least two candidate games based on the recommendation information, wherein the recommendation information represents the information of the game recommended by the client integrated with the game pool. Figure 2aIn the case that the recommended icon is selected, it indicates that the trigger object hopes that the client recommends a game made by the object of attention, and therefore, attention information indicating a game made by the object of attention can be acquired, so as to determine the post-switch game from the at least two candidate games based on the relationship information. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the recommended icon or the attention icon that is selected can be selected by the client by default or selected by the trigger object actively, which is not limited herein. The above technical solution can recommend the post-switch game meeting the demand of the trigger object according to the selection of the icon.

[0125] S640, switching the display content on the display screen from the preview picture of the pre-switch game to the preview picture of the post-switch game.

[0126] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure acquires a game pool containing at least two candidate games, so that the post-switch game can be directly determined from the game pool in response to the game switching operation, thereby ensuring the determination speed of the post-switch game.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, optionally, the method further comprises:
