[0011] The technical solution disclosed herein has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] On the one hand, this solution generates game replay videos with marked points. Compared to existing methods that directly use unprocessed game videos for replay, this method reminds users which moments were marked during the replay, reducing the time cost for users to find video clips and effectively improving the efficiency of the replay. On the other hand, the first video clip is updated based on the editing information of the virtual objects to be edited in the extracted first video clip to obtain the edited second video clip. This provides data support for the game replay process, allowing users to compare the first and second video clips and analyze the game process, thus obtaining the replay results in a more intuitive way.

[0024] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0025] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0026] In related technologies, game replays are typically reviewed using game videos. However, this method is clearly time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, the resulting replays lack data support, easily leading to disputes among users and negatively impacting the user experience.

[0027] In view of one or more of the above-mentioned problems, this disclosure first provides a game replay method through exemplary embodiments. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 The system architecture of the operating environment for this exemplary embodiment will be described.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture 100 may include a client 110 and a server 120. The client 110 may be an electronic device such as a laptop, desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet. The server 120 generally refers to the backend system that provides interactive services related to live streaming in this exemplary embodiment, such as a server implementing a game replay method. The server 120 may be a single server or a cluster of multiple servers; this disclosure does not limit this. The client 110 and the server 120 can be connected via wired or wireless communication links for data interaction.

[0029] In one implementation, the game replay method of this exemplary embodiment can be executed by the client 110. For example, in a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) scenario, the client 110 can be a terminal device used by the player that has loaded the MOBA game, the target game match can be a game match that the player has participated in that has ended, and the virtual object to be edited can be a MOBA game character in the first video clip. After the target game match ends, the client 110 can display a game replay video with marked points to the player in response to the replay instruction of the target game match. The player can extract segments from the game replay video while watching it. The client 110 can obtain a first video segment based on the player's segment extraction operation of the game replay video, and update the first video segment based on the player's editing information of the game character in the first video segment to obtain and display a second video segment. The player can review the process of the target game match by comparing the first video segment and the second video segment.

[0030] In one implementation, after the client 110 receives the player's segment extraction operation of the game replay video to obtain the first video segment, it can also send the player's editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment to the server 120, so that the server 120 updates the first video segment according to the editing information to obtain the second video segment, and sends the second video segment to the client 110 for display, so that the player can review the process of the target game through the first video segment and the second video segment displayed on the client 110, thereby obtaining the replay result.

[0031] The game replay method in this exemplary embodiment will be described below from the perspectives of the client 110 and the server 120.

[0032] Figure 2 An exemplary flow for a game replay method applied to client 110 is shown, including the following steps S210 to S230:

[0033] Step S210: In response to the replay command for the target game, display the game replay video of the target game with markers, the markers being time-based locations generated based on the marking operations performed by the player during the target game.

[0034] Step S220: Based on the received segment extraction operation of the game replay video, extract the first video segment from the game replay video;

[0035] Step S230: The editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment is sent to the server, so that the server updates the first video segment according to the editing information to obtain the second video segment and displays the second video segment sent by the server; or, the first video segment is updated according to the editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment to obtain the second video segment and displays the second video segment; the first video segment and the second video segment are used for players to make comparative analysis.

[0036] Based on the above method, on the one hand, a game replay video with marked points is generated. Compared with the existing method of directly using unprocessed game video for replay, the game replay video with marked points in this solution can remind users which moments were marked when they are reviewing the game, reducing the time cost for users to find video segments in the game replay video and effectively improving the user's replay efficiency. On the other hand, the first video segment is updated according to the editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the extracted first video segment to obtain the edited second video segment, which provides data support for the game replay process. It enables users to compare the first video segment and the second video segment and analyze the game process, thereby obtaining the replay results in a more intuitive way.

[0037] The following is about Figure 2 Each step in the process will be explained in detail.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 In step S210, in response to a replay command for the target game, a replay video of the target game with markers is displayed. The markers are time-based locations generated based on the marking operations performed by the player during the target game.

[0039] The target game match mentioned above can include completed game matches that the player has participated in. For example, the target game match can be a historical game match that the player has participated in. The replay command can be a command used to initiate a replay. This disclosure does not specifically limit the triggering conditions of the replay command. For example, after the target game match ends, a replay mode entry button can be added to the match results display interface. The replay command is triggered in response to the player clicking the replay mode entry button. Alternatively, the replay command can be triggered when the end of a game match is detected. The game replay video can be a game match video displaying marked points, allowing users to review the game process based on the replay video. A marked point is a time location displayed in the game replay video. This disclosure does not specifically limit the specific form of the marked point. For example, a marked point can display the player's user information at a certain moment in the game replay video, or display the player's user information and textual notes made by the player during the game regarding the marked segment. Marked points can be used to mark segments that the player is interested in during the game, such as marking controversial moments in the game.

[0040] In one implementation, the above-mentioned display of a game replay video of a target game match with marked points may include the following steps:

[0041] When the game replay video reaches a marker point, perform at least one of the following: display the game video screen containing the marker object corresponding to the marker point, highlight the marker object corresponding to the marker point in the game video screen, and display the information of the player who performed the marking operation at the marker point.

[0042] The aforementioned marked objects include game events, virtual objects, or local game scenes. For example, marked objects may include local scenes of team battles between two sides, game characters participating in team battles, game events such as game characters stealing towers, etc. Highlighting includes adding display effects to the marked objects to help users distinguish them from other objects in the game replay video. This disclosure does not specifically limit the method of highlighting; for example, the marked objects may be outlined.

[0043] By highlighting the marked objects corresponding to the marked points and displaying information about the players who performed the marking operations, players participating in the replay can intuitively understand which player marked which object. This allows players to directly play the marked points of interest during the replay and conduct the game review, effectively improving the efficiency of game review.

[0044] In one implementation, before displaying a game replay video of the target game match with marked points, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the above method may further include steps S310 to S320:

[0045] Step S310: In response to a marking operation during a target game match, determine the marking time of the marking operation, and also obtain information about the player who performed the marking operation and / or information about the marking object corresponding to the marking operation;

[0046] Step S320: Send the marked time to the server, and also send the player's information and / or the information of the marked object to the server, so that the server marks the time point corresponding to the marked time in the game replay video to generate a marker point, and adds the player's information and / or the information of the marked object to the marker point.

[0047] The marking operation can include actions performed by players during a game to generate marker points. This disclosure does not specifically limit the method of marking operations. For example, a marking operation can include double-clicking anywhere in the game scene to add a marker point. The graphical interface can then display a marker symbol for a preset duration, and the player can click the marker symbol before it disappears to edit the marker object's information. The marking time can be the point in time when a player performs the marking operation during a game. This disclosure does not specifically limit the method for obtaining the marking time. For example, the timestamp of the start time of the player's marking operation can be used as the marking time. The information of the player performing the marking operation can be used to represent the player's identity information. For example, the player's information can include the player's identity identifier, username, etc. The information of the marked object can include information related to the marked object noted by the player during the game. For example, the information of the marked object can include the reason noted by the player during the game for marking the object. The time point corresponding to the aforementioned marked moment can be the time location of the marked moment in the game replay video. For example, based on the timestamp of the start of the target game and the timestamp of the marked moment, the time period between the marked moment and the start of the target game can be calculated, and the marked moment can be located in the game replay video based on this time period.

[0048] For example, during a game, a replay marker button can be displayed in the graphical interface. Responding to a player's click on this button, the game is marked. For instance, if a game character needs to be marked, a marker symbol can be displayed in the graphical interface for a preset duration in response to a player clicking on the character's portrait or any point on the character, prompting the user to mark that segment of the game. Before the marker symbol disappears, the player can add a reason for marking, i.e., information about the marked object, by clicking on the marker symbol. After determining the marking time, the information of the player performing the marking operation, and the information of the marked object, the marking time, the player's identification information, and the marking reason can be sent to the server. After the game ends, the server can determine the time point corresponding to the marking time based on the game's start time and the marking time in the complete game replay video. It can then obtain the game character's behavior before and after the marking time within a preset duration before and after that time point to outline and mark the game character. Based on the player's identification information, the server can obtain the player's portrait and display the player's portrait and the marking reason at the marked point.

[0049] By generating markers in game replay videos through server-side and client-side interaction, the efficiency of client-side operations can be effectively reduced. The markers display player information and information about the marked objects, allowing players to understand the marked content in the game replay videos more clearly and intuitively.

[0050] In addition, the client can execute a method to generate marker points in game replay videos. In one implementation, in response to a marking operation during a target game match, the marking time of the marking operation is determined, and information about the player who performed the marking operation and / or the marking object corresponding to the marking operation is obtained. The time point corresponding to the marking time in the game replay video is marked to generate marker points, and player information and / or marking object information are added to the marker points.

[0051] By executing a method to generate game replay videos with markers on the client side, the client's dependence on the server can be effectively reduced, further improving the portability of the game replay method.

[0052] To mitigate the problem of redundant markers in game replay videos reducing player efficiency, in one embodiment, the aforementioned display of a game replay video showing a target game match with markers may include the following steps:

[0053] The game replay video only displays markers generated by the marking operations performed by the players currently participating in the replay.

[0054] For example, after entering the replay mode, players can choose to enter a solo replay or enter a replay room already created by other players. The replay room will display the players who have entered the room. If a player chooses to enter a solo replay, the replay video will only show the player's markers. If a player chooses to enter a replay room already created by other players, the player entering the room will be identified as the target player, and the replay video will only show the target player's markers, hiding the markers made by other players.

[0055] By displaying only the markers generated by the players currently participating in the game replay in the game replay video, the redundancy of the marker display can be reduced, the completeness of the marker display can be improved, and the efficiency of players in finding markers of interest in the game replay video can be improved, thus further enhancing the efficiency of game replay.

[0056] To improve the problem of incomplete display of markers in game replay videos due to excessive markers, in one embodiment, the above-mentioned display of the target game replay video with markers may include the following steps:

[0057] If the number of markers in the game replay video within the same first time period exceeds a first threshold, then multiple local video segments corresponding to different markers within the first time period are extracted from the game replay video, and these multiple local video segments are displayed in different areas of the game replay video's display interface.

[0058] The first time period refers to a time segment in the game replay video that has a first preset duration. This disclosure does not specifically limit the exact duration of the first preset duration. The first quantity threshold can be used as a basis for determining whether to display partial video segments in different regions. This disclosure does not specifically limit the specific value of the first quantity threshold; for example, the first quantity threshold can be determined based on the total number of players participating in the current replay. Partial video segments can be used to display the specific video content marked by the marker points.

[0059] For example, the first quantity threshold can be 3. In a MOBA game, if all four players participating in the game review mark the process of "top lane" and "bottom lane" in the first time period, then the partial video segments corresponding to the mark points of these four players, including "top lane" and "bottom lane", can be extracted and displayed on the electronic screen in a split-screen format, including the partial video segments of "top lane" and the partial video segments of "bottom lane".

[0060] By dividing the local video clips corresponding to markers that exceed a first threshold within a certain time period into regions, players can simultaneously watch local video clips corresponding to multiple markers. This avoids, to some extent, the problem of players repeatedly clicking on markers to watch local video clips and failing to capture game operation details. While ensuring the efficiency of game review, it also improves the user experience.

[0061] In one implementation, before displaying the game replay video of the target game match with marked points, the above method may further include:

[0062] If the number of markers for the same object in a game replay video within the same second time period exceeds the second threshold, then the markers for the same object will be merged.

[0063] The marked objects include game events, virtual objects, or local game scenes; the second time period is a time period in the game replay video with a second preset duration, and this disclosure does not specifically limit the specific length of the second preset duration. The second quantity threshold can be used as the basis for determining whether to merge the marked points, and this disclosure does not specifically limit the specific value of the second quantity threshold. For example, the second quantity threshold can be 3.

[0064] For example, the second quantity threshold can be 3. In a game replay video, if four players mark a certain game character within the same second time period, then these four marks can be merged. There are multiple ways to merge marks. For example, one of the marks corresponding to the four marks can be randomly selected as the mark time of the merged mark. At the mark time of the merged mark, the user information of the four players can be displayed, such as the user avatars or usernames of the four players.

[0065] By merging markers for similar game scenes, events, or characters within the same time period, the markers in game replay videos are displayed more intuitively. This also avoids, to some extent, the problem of displaying too many markers in game replay videos affecting the user's viewing experience, thus improving the user experience.

[0066] To provide users with more data support during game replays, in one implementation, when displaying a game replay video of a target game match with marked points, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0067] In response to an analysis trigger command for any marker, the game data of the virtual object to be evaluated is displayed when the game replay video plays to the third time segment containing any marker.

[0068] The third time period refers to a time segment in the game replay video that has a third preset duration. This disclosure does not specifically limit the exact duration of the third preset duration. The aforementioned game data can be used to evaluate the game behavior of the virtual object to be evaluated within the third time period. This disclosure does not specifically limit the specific content of the game data; for example, the game data may include the economic difference between the start and end times of the third time period.

[0069] For example, in response to a player's click on any marker in a game replay video, the above analysis trigger command can be triggered to obtain the game behavior data of the virtual object at that marker in the third time period before and after that marker, such as PK between the two sides, team battle between the two sides, split pushing, etc., and obtain the above game data based on the game behavior data.

[0070] By showing players the game data corresponding to the marked points, we can provide more data support for players during game replays, making the game replay results more reliable.

[0071] The game data of the virtual object to be evaluated can take many forms. In one implementation, the game data of the virtual object to be evaluated may include the difference in game resources between the start and end times of the virtual object to be evaluated in the third time period.

[0072] Among them, the game resource difference can be used to evaluate the game behavior of the virtual object to be evaluated in the third time period. For example, the game resource difference can include the economic difference between the start and end times of the third time period.

[0073] For example, in a team fight in a MOBA game, one side's support split pushes and doesn't participate in the team fight, leading to a loss. Players on that side can mark the team fight scene and the support's corresponding character. In the replay video, players can click on the marked point, triggering an analysis command based on that point. When the replay video reaches the third time segment containing the marked point, it displays the game footage of the marked team fight and the split push, along with the economic difference before and after the team fight. This economic difference is calculated based on the other side's economic gains from the lost team fight and the economic gains from the support pushing towers during the third time segment.

[0074] By showing players the difference in game resources between the start and end times of the third time period, players can more intuitively perceive the losses or gains brought about by their game actions during the third time period, which is helpful for analyzing the game replay results.

[0075] In one implementation, the game data of the virtual object to be evaluated includes: the difference in game resources between the virtual object to be evaluated and the other virtual object, and the equivalent damage data corresponding to the difference in game resources.

[0076] Among them, the equivalent damage data can be a damage video or damage description obtained by converting the game resource difference into an equivalent value. For example, in a team battle, if the economic difference (game resource difference) is 2000, the economic difference can be converted into a damage description such as "2000 economy takes 3 seconds to kill a tank", or a damage video of successfully attacking a tank in 3 seconds can be displayed to the player.

[0077] By showing players the equivalent damage data corresponding to the difference in game resources, players can clearly understand the direct consequences of their mistakes, providing a theoretical basis for game review and making the results more convincing.

[0078] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In step S220, a first video segment is extracted from the game replay video based on the received segment extraction operation of the game replay video.

[0079] The first video segment can be any segment from the game replay video. In one embodiment, the process of extracting the first video segment from the game replay video based on the received segment extraction operation may include the following steps:

[0080] Based on the received segment extraction operation that selects one or more marker points, extract the first video segment containing the selected marker points from the game replay video.

[0081] In other words, the markers serve as prompts, allowing players to determine the video segment to be captured based on player and object information within the markers. This effectively addresses the issue of players needing to continuously watch game replays to determine the first video segment, thereby improving the efficiency of capturing the first video segment.

[0082] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In step S230, the editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment is sent to the server, so that the server updates the first video segment according to the editing information to obtain the second video segment and displays the second video segment sent by the server; or, the first video segment is updated according to the editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment to obtain the second video segment and displays the second video segment; the first video segment and the second video segment are used for players to perform comparative analysis.

[0083] The virtual object to be edited can include any game character in the first video clip. The editing information can include information about the player's editing of the virtual object's game behavior in the first video clip. This disclosure does not specifically limit the content of the editing information. For example, the editing information can include information about the player's position changes when moving the virtual object to be edited, as well as information about the game behavior set for the virtual object at a certain point in time. The second video clip can be a video clip edited by the player based on the first video clip.

[0084] In one implementation, the editing information includes behavior editing information and location editing information. The editing information for the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment is sent to the server, as per [reference needed]. Figure 4 As shown, steps S410 to S430 may be included:

[0085] Step S410: Based on the settings, perform a behavior setting operation to execute a specified behavior on the virtual object to be edited at a specified time, and determine the behavior editing information;

[0086] Step S420: Based on the movement operation of the virtual object to be edited, obtain the position change of the virtual object to be edited in order to determine the position editing information;

[0087] Step S430: Send the behavior editing information and location editing information to the server.

[0088] Among them, behavior editing information is used to characterize the specified behavior that the player sets for the virtual object to be edited at a specified time. For example, behavior editing information may include setting the virtual object to be edited to "protect the archer" or "attack the enemy archer" at a certain time. Position editing information may include the positional change of the virtual object to be edited relative to its original position in the first video segment when the player moves the virtual object to be edited.

[0089] It should be noted that when performing a movement operation on the virtual object to be edited, it is necessary to obtain the movement time taken for the virtual object to move from its original position to its target position based on the game behavior, and to rewind the behavior of other virtual objects in the first video segment based on this movement time. For example, if the movement time is 3 seconds, the behavior of other virtual objects in the first video segment can be fast-forwarded to 3 seconds later.

[0090] For example, a player can move the virtual object to be edited in the first video clip from the top lane to the middle lane. Based on the distance between the top and middle lanes, the player calculates that the virtual object needs 3 seconds to perform a game action (such as flying or walking) to move from the top lane to the middle lane. The player then sets the virtual object's action to "attack the enemy marksman" and fast-forwards the actions of other virtual objects in the first video clip to 3 seconds later. Next, the player determines the position editing information based on the position changes of all virtual objects in the first video clip, obtains the action editing information based on the updated actions of all virtual objects in the first video clip, and sends the action editing information and position editing information to the server. The server then predicts the virtual object's action based on the action editing information and position editing information, generates a second video clip, and sends the second video clip to the client for display so that the user can preview it.

[0091] based on Figure 4 The method sends behavior editing information and location editing information to the server, so that the server can update the first video segment according to the behavior and location changes of the virtual objects in the first video segment, which reduces the client's operating load and effectively improves the client's operating efficiency.

[0092] In one implementation, the editing information includes behavior editing information and location editing information; the second video segment is obtained by updating the first video segment based on the editing information of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment, as referenced. Figure 5 As shown, steps S510 to S520 may be included:

[0093] Step S510: Modify the position of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment according to the position editing information, and modify the behavior of the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment according to the behavior editing information;

[0094] Step S520: Based on the position and behavior of the modified virtual object to be edited, perform a game simulation to generate a second video clip.

[0095] The aforementioned game simulation can be used to predict the position and behavior of other virtual objects in the first video segment based on the position and behavior of the virtual object to be edited.

[0096] For example, the position and behavior of the modified virtual object to be edited can be input into the game's built-in virtual object behavior prediction system to simulate the game, obtain the corresponding position and behavior changes of other virtual objects, and thus generate a second video clip.

[0097] based on Figure 5The method generates a second video clip, allowing players to view the game effects produced by assigning different game behaviors to the virtual objects to be edited in the same game scene. This enables players to improve their game skills during the review process and further enhances the user experience.

[0098] In one implementation, when displaying a first video clip, first game data of the virtual object to be edited in the first video clip is displayed; when displaying a second video clip, second game data of the virtual object to be edited in the second video clip is displayed.

[0099] The first game data and the second game data mentioned above can be data used to evaluate the game behavior of the virtual object to be edited. For example, the first game data and the second game data can respectively include the economic difference between the first video clip and the second video clip.

[0100] By displaying the first and second video clips simultaneously, along with the corresponding first and second game data, the game effects of assigning different game behaviors to the virtual objects to be edited in the first and second video clips can be more intuitively demonstrated, providing data support for players to review the game.

[0101] The game replay method in this exemplary embodiment will be described below from the perspective of the server. Figure 6 An exemplary flow of a game replay method applied to the server is shown, see reference. Figure 6 As shown, the game replay method may include steps S610 to S620:

[0102] Step S610: Receive editing information from the client for the virtual object to be edited in the first video segment; wherein, the first video segment is extracted from the game replay video by the client based on the received segment extraction operation of the game replay video of the target game, and the game replay video has markers, which are time positions generated based on the marking operations of the player during the target game.

[0103] Step S620: Update the first video segment according to the editing information to obtain the second video segment, and send the second video segment to the client for display; the first video segment and the second video segment are used for players to compare and analyze.

[0104] Based on the above methods, not only is the efficiency of players' game review improved, but data support is also provided for the game review process, so that players can get the game review results more intuitively.
