Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of game technology, and more particularly to a game trial method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Games possess both entertainment and commercial attributes. To enhance the player experience, most game developers currently offer game trial services. The primary method for game trials is through cloud gaming accounts. However, current trading platforms only support online trials or virtual account trials. Online trials require high internet speeds and sophisticated device specifications, while creating virtual accounts puts significant strain on servers.

[0003] Therefore, the current cost of trying out games is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a method for playing games, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device, thereby reducing the cost of playing games.

[0005] Firstly, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a game trial method, including:

[0006] In response to viewing virtual items on the trading platform, the target virtual item's gameplay video is displayed on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation.

[0007] In response to a confirmation action on a target playable video, the system retrieves the playable resource package for the target video node corresponding to the confirmation action from the cloud gaming server.

[0008] The system generates a virtual game scene corresponding to the target video node based on the trial resource package, and performs game trial data processing based on the game trial operation responded to in the virtual game scene.

[0009] Secondly, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a game trial device, including:

[0010] The first response module is used to respond to viewing operations for virtual items in the trading platform and to display the target virtual item's trial video on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation.

[0011] The second response module is used to respond to the confirmation operation for the target playable video by obtaining the playable resource package of the target video node corresponding to the confirmation operation from the cloud gaming server.

[0012] The generation module is used to generate virtual game scenes corresponding to target video nodes based on the trial resource package, and to perform game trial data processing based on the game trial operations responded to in the virtual game scene.

[0013] Thirdly, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements the method described above.

[0014] Fourthly, one embodiment of this disclosure provides an electronic device, including: a processor; and a memory for storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor is configured to perform the above-described method by executing the executable instructions.

[0015] The technical solution disclosed herein has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The aforementioned game trial method, upon responding to a viewing operation for a virtual item on the trading platform, displays a target trial video for that virtual item on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation. Upon responding to a confirmation operation for the target trial video, it retrieves a trial resource package for the target video node corresponding to the confirmed operation from the cloud gaming server. Finally, based on the trial resource package, it generates a virtual game scene corresponding to the target video node, allowing players to try out the target virtual item within the trial game scene. Simultaneously, the terminal device can perform game trial data processing based on the game trial operation responded to in the virtual game scene. This eliminates the need for online gameplay, resulting in lower requirements for network speed and terminal device configuration. Furthermore, it avoids the need to create new virtual accounts, thus minimizing pressure on the game server. This solves the current technical problem of high game trial costs, achieving the technical effect of further reducing game trial costs while ensuring player game trial efficiency and effectiveness.

[0030] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is merely an illustrative example and does not necessarily include all steps. For example, some steps may be broken down, while others may be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In related technologies, games possess both entertainment and certain commercial attributes. To enhance the player experience, most game developers currently offer game trial services. The primary method for game trials is through cloud gaming accounts. However, current trading platforms only support online trials or virtual account creation. Online trials require high network speeds and sophisticated device configurations, while virtual account creation puts significant strain on servers. Therefore, current game trial costs are relatively high.

[0032] In view of the above problems, this disclosure provides a game trial method that can greatly reduce the cost of game trial and improve the player's game trial experience. The following is a brief introduction to the application environment of the game trial method provided by this disclosure:

[0033] Please see Figure 1 The game trial method provided in this embodiment is applied to a game interaction system 10, which includes at least a cloud gaming server 101 and a terminal device 102. The terminal device 102 serves as the human-computer interaction terminal for players, responding to various interactive operations. During operation, the terminal device 102 provides a graphical user interface (GUI) displaying virtual game scenes and various virtual items within the game. These virtual items can include virtual characters, virtual skins, virtual equipment, etc. The terminal device 102 is equipped with a trading platform to provide players with services such as displaying, experiencing, and purchasing virtual items. The cloud gaming server 101 refers to a server or server cluster running cloud gaming programs.

[0034] The following example illustrates how the game trial method is applied to terminal device 102 to provide game trial services to players. Please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2The game trial method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps 201-203:

[0035] Step 201: In response to the viewing operation of virtual items in the trading platform, display the target virtual item's gameplay video on the item information interface of the target virtual item corresponding to the viewing operation.

[0036] After entering the trading platform, players select the virtual items of interest from the various virtual items displayed in the current graphical user interface and perform a viewing operation. The virtual item corresponding to this viewing operation is the target virtual item. This target virtual item can be any form of virtual item, such as a virtual account, virtual equipment, or virtual skin. The viewing operation can be a touch operation such as clicking or long-pressing, or a non-touch operation via other external devices; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. Upon receiving the viewing operation, the terminal device switches the content displayed in the current graphical user interface to the item information interface of the target virtual item. This item information interface displays the product details of the target virtual item, for example... Figure 3 The interface shown in the image needs to be explained. Figure 3 The content shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute any limitation on the content of the target virtual item or the corresponding item information interface format and content. Furthermore, if... Figure 4 As shown, a target gameplay video of the target virtual item is displayed in a pre-defined area on the item information interface. This target gameplay video can be generated in real time by the terminal device, or it can be a historical gameplay video or historical interaction video of the current account or other accounts playing the target virtual item. This disclosure does not impose any limitations, and the specific choice can be made according to the actual situation.

[0037] Step 202: In response to the confirmation operation for the target playable video, obtain the playable resource package of the target video node corresponding to the confirmation operation from the cloud gaming server.

[0038] During the playback of the target gameplay video, if a player is interested in a particular frame, they can select that frame using any confirmation action such as clicking, double-clicking, or long-pressing. The video node corresponding to that frame is the target video node. The terminal device then sends a request command for that target video node to the cloud gaming server. Upon receiving this request command, the cloud gaming server distributes the corresponding gameplay resource package—that is, the resource package for the target virtual item at a specific game node during the entire game—to the terminal device.

[0039] Step 203: Generate a virtual game scene corresponding to the target video node based on the trial resource package, and perform game trial data processing based on the game trial operation responded to in the virtual game scene.

[0040] Upon receiving the trial resource package, the terminal device generates a virtual game scene locally based on it. It should be noted that this virtual game scene is a trial version of a portion of the target virtual item's functionality, not the complete game scene or a game scene with all permissions. Players can experience some of the game functions corresponding to the aforementioned target video node within this trial game scene.

[0041] The game trial method provided in this disclosure, upon responding to a viewing operation for a virtual item on a trading platform, displays a target trial video for the target virtual item on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation. Upon responding to a confirmation operation for the target trial video, it retrieves a trial resource package for the target video node corresponding to the confirmation operation from a cloud gaming server. Finally, it generates a virtual game scene corresponding to the target video node based on the trial resource package, allowing players to try out the target virtual item within the trial game scene. Simultaneously, the terminal device can perform game trial data processing based on the game trial operation responded to in the virtual game scene, eliminating the need for online trial play. This reduces the requirements for network speed and terminal device configuration, and also eliminates the need to create new virtual accounts, thus avoiding significant pressure on the game server. This solves the current technical problem of high game trial costs, achieving the technical effect of further reducing game trial costs while ensuring player game trial efficiency and effectiveness.

[0042] Please see Figure 5 In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, before step 201 above, which displays the target virtual item's gameplay video on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation, the game trial method further includes the following steps 501-502:

[0043] Step 501: Identify the most popular virtual items in the current account's historical game trials.

[0044] The current account refers to the account currently bound to the terminal device, i.e., the account to which the current player belongs. The trending virtual item can be determined through the current account's historical game interaction data or historical trial data, identifying virtual items with high interest in that data. Alternatively, if this is the current account's first time trying the game, other players' or accounts' historical trial videos of the trending virtual item can be directly used as the current account's trending trial videos.

[0045] Step 502: Display the most popular virtual items on the trading platform's display interface.

[0046] That is, after the player corresponding to the current account enters the trading platform, the virtual items displayed on the trading platform are not all the virtual items for sale by merchants in the traditional trading platform, but mostly popular virtual items that players are interested in. Compared with the above embodiments, the virtual item data displayed on the display interface of the trading platform in this embodiment is less, and only the popular virtual items are displayed.

[0047] In this way, the simplicity and rationality of the trading platform's display interface can be ensured, while providing players with targeted virtual item displays, reducing the time spent by players in determining target virtual items, improving players' purchasing efficiency, and thus improving the interactive efficiency of the game trial method of this embodiment.

[0048] Correspondingly, step 201 above, in response to the viewing operation of virtual items on the trading platform, displays the target virtual item's gameplay video on the item information interface corresponding to the viewing operation, including the following step A:

[0049] Step A: In response to the viewing operation of various popular virtual items in the trading platform, the target virtual item's gameplay video is displayed on the item information interface of the target virtual item corresponding to the viewing operation.

[0050] Unlike the above embodiments, the virtual items displayed on the trading platform are all popular virtual goods that the current account is interested in. That is, the player corresponding to the current account can browse and purchase popular virtual items that they are interested in during their previous gameplay. This makes the selection process more efficient and can further improve the player's game trial efficiency and experience.

[0051] Please see Figure 6 In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, step 501, determining the most popular virtual items in the current account's historical game trials, includes the following steps 601-602:

[0052] Step 601: Obtain the historical trial data of the current account.

[0053] The current account refers to the account currently bound to the terminal device, i.e., the current player's account. Historical trial data refers to the trial data generated by the current account during historical trials. This trial data includes, but is not limited to, trial types, trial durations, player trial tags, trial match results, etc., which will not be listed exhaustively here.

[0054] Step 602: Identify virtual items whose popularity in historical trial data exceeds the preset popularity value as popular virtual items.

[0055] The popularity index is used to characterize the level of interest players have during gameplay. A higher popularity index value indicates a higher level of interest, and a lower value indicates a lower level of interest. This popularity index can be represented by factors such as player interaction frequency or visual dwell time, with preset popularity index values ​​corresponding to preset interaction frequency or preset visual dwell time. The corresponding trending virtual items are the most or moderately interesting virtual items. These trending virtual items can be a single item or multiple items. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on the embodiments described.

[0056] This embodiment of the disclosure identifies popular virtual items based on historical trial data of the current account, where the popularity exceeds a preset popularity value. The resulting popular virtual items are the virtual items that the current account, i.e., the virtual items that the player is most interested in, are more accurately determined. This can greatly improve the player's game trial and purchase experience.

[0057] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, step 602, determining virtual items with a popularity score greater than a preset popularity score in historical trial data as popular virtual items, can be implemented in, but is not limited to, the following two methods:

[0058] The first method,

[0059] Obtain user visual movement data from historical playthrough data;

[0060] Virtual items whose dwell time in visual path data exceeds the preset dwell time are identified as hot virtual items.

[0061] Visual movement data refers to the direction and path data formed by a player's visual movement during a game trial. This data allows us to determine the objects the player browses during the trial and the corresponding dwell time on each object. Virtual items whose dwell time exceeds a preset dwell time are identified as "hot" virtual items. This more accurate identification of hot items significantly improves the player's game trial and purchasing experience.

[0062] The second method,

[0063] Obtain user action data from historical playthrough data;

[0064] Virtual items whose manipulation frequency exceeds a preset frequency in the manipulation data are identified as hot virtual items.

[0065] The frequency of control refers to the frequency of interaction with each virtual object. The higher the frequency of control, the higher the player's interest level, and the lower the frequency of control, the lower the player's interest level. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the data with a control frequency greater than the preset frequency in the control data are identified as hot virtual items. The hot virtual items obtained are more accurate and can greatly improve the player's game trial experience and purchase experience.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, after step 602, which identifies virtual items with a popularity score greater than a preset popularity score in historical trial data as popular virtual items, the method further includes identifying popular virtual videos of the popular virtual items. The method for determining the popular virtual items includes, but is not limited to, the following two methods:

[0067] The first method involves obtaining gameplay videos of popular virtual items from cloud gaming servers.

[0068] This means that terminal devices do not need to store historical gameplay videos and data; they can directly retrieve popular gameplay videos for current accounts targeting trending virtual items from the cloud gaming server. This saves storage resources on terminal devices and can further improve the efficiency of game trials for players on terminal devices.

[0069] The second method involves generating gameplay videos for each popular virtual item based on historical gameplay data.

[0070] In other words, the terminal device only needs to store historical trial data. When needed, it can generate trial videos of popular virtual items based on the trial data of popular virtual items. There is no need to frequently interact with the cloud gaming server, which reduces the requirements for network transmission efficiency and can reduce the cost of game trials.

[0071] Please see Figure 7 In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, before step 202 above, which involves obtaining the trial resource package of the target video node corresponding to the determination operation from the cloud gaming server in response to the determination operation of the target trial video, the game trial method further includes the following steps 701-702:

[0072] Step 701: Divide each popular gameplay video into multiple video nodes according to the preset functional modules.

[0073] The preset functional modules can be arbitrarily divided according to actual needs. Each video node corresponds to a different game trial function to provide players with diverse gaming experiences. After division, each video node constitutes a game functional module. For example, for virtual skins, a functional module could showcase a complete skin effect, or a surface effect from the front or side. For virtual characters, a functional module would display the effects of a virtual character in a specific state; for virtual equipment, a functional module would display the parameters of a particular piece of equipment, such as range, rate of fire, or the ability to change different parts.

[0074] Step 702: Construct the mapping relationship between each video node and each trial resource package in the cloud gaming server.

[0075] In other words, one video node corresponds to one trial resource package. After the terminal device identifies the target video node, it only needs to retrieve the corresponding target trial resource package from the cloud gaming server. It should be explained that after the terminal device is divided into functional modules, it is also necessary to build interaction interfaces between each video node and the corresponding trial resource package between the cloud gaming server and the terminal device to support the mapping and sending / receiving functions between the two, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] This embodiment divides each popular gameplay video into multiple video nodes according to preset functional modules, and constructs a mapping relationship between each video node and each gameplay resource package in the cloud gaming server. This facilitates the subsequent gameplay process, allowing the terminal device to quickly obtain the corresponding target gameplay resource package from the cloud gaming server based on the target video node, resulting in higher efficiency and further improving the efficiency of game gameplay in this embodiment.

[0077] To implement the above-mentioned game trial method, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a game trial device 800. Figure 8 A schematic architecture diagram of the game demo unit 800 is shown, including: a first response module 810, a second response module 820, and a generation module 830, wherein:

[0078] The first response module 810 is used to respond to the viewing operation of virtual items in the trading platform and display the target virtual item's trial video on the item information interface of the target virtual item corresponding to the viewing operation.

[0079] The second response module 820 is used to respond to the determination operation of the target playable video by obtaining the playable resource package of the target video node corresponding to the determination operation from the cloud gaming server;

[0080] The generation module 830 is used to generate a virtual game scene corresponding to the target video node based on the trial resource package, and to perform game trial data processing based on the game trial operation responded to in the virtual game scene.

[0082] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, the first response module 810 is specifically used to obtain the historical trial data of the current account; and to identify virtual items in the historical trial data whose popularity is greater than a preset popularity value as hot virtual items.

[0083] In one optional embodiment of this disclosure, the first response module 810 is specifically configured to: acquire visual movement data of the user in historical trial data; identify virtual items in the visual movement data whose dwell time is greater than a preset dwell time as hot virtual items; and / or acquire user control data in historical trial data; identify virtual items in the control data whose control frequency is greater than a preset frequency as hot virtual items.

[0084] In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, the first response module 810 is further configured to obtain popular trial videos of various popular virtual items from the cloud gaming server.

[0085] In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, the first response module 810 is further configured to generate hot trial videos for each hot virtual item based on the hot trial data of hot virtual items in the historical trial data.

[0086] In an optional embodiment of this disclosure, the second response module 820 is further configured to divide each popular gameplay video into multiple video nodes according to preset functional modules; wherein, each video node corresponds to a different game gameplay function; and to construct a mapping relationship between each video node and each gameplay resource package in the cloud gaming server.
