Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cloud computing technology, and in particular to a cloud gaming control method, apparatus, electronic device, medium, and product. Background Technology

[0002] Cloud gaming is a game scenario that runs on cloud containers, renders locally on the local client by streaming audio and video, and exchanges data between the client and the cloud via signaling channels. In cloud gaming scenarios, many complex game scenes rely on gamepad controls, requiring cloud gaming service providers to support physical gamepad control capabilities.

[0003] However, in a game scenario where a client interacts with a cloud gaming client, only single-player controller capability can be provided, which cannot meet the game control requirements of complex game scenarios, such as multi-player battles and multi-player cooperative game scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a cloud gaming control method, device, electronic device, medium, and product that can support a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple gamepad devices simultaneously, allowing users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thereby expanding the cloud gaming scenario.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a cloud gaming control method, the method comprising:

[0006] When a controller connection event is received, the preset device information of the corresponding controller device is obtained;

[0007] The game controller is registered by interacting with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information, and a device management number is assigned to the successfully registered game controller.

[0008] The controller operation event is acquired, and the controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the controller operation event, so as to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a cloud gaming control device, the device comprising:

[0010] The controller connection detection module is used to obtain the preset device information of the corresponding controller device each time a controller connection event is detected.

[0011] The controller registration module is used to interact with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information to register the controller device, and to determine a device management number for the successfully registered controller device.

[0012] The game control command acquisition module is used to acquire gamepad operation events and forward the gamepad operation events to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the gamepad operation events, so as to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

[0014] One or more processors;

[0015] Storage device for storing one or more programs.

[0016] When the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the cloud gaming control method as described in any of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a storage medium containing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, are used to perform the cloud gaming control method as described in any of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0018] Fifthly, this disclosure also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the cloud gaming control method as described in any of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] In this embodiment, each time a gamepad connection event is received, preset device information for the corresponding gamepad device is obtained. Based on this preset device information, the gamepad device is registered with the target cloud gaming server, and a device management number is assigned to each successfully registered gamepad device to distinguish different gamepads. Gamepad operation events are obtained, and based on the device management number associated with each operation event, the gamepad operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server. This ensures that the operation control commands of each gamepad can be accurately identified to achieve the corresponding cloud gaming operation control. The technical solution of this embodiment solves the problem of limited gamepad connectivity, which restricts gaming scenarios. It supports a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple gamepad devices simultaneously, allowing users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thus expanding the cloud gaming scenario.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a cloud gaming control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is applicable to cloud gaming scenarios, particularly when multiple people collaborate to play a game through the same game client. The method can be executed by a cloud gaming control device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. Optionally, the cloud gaming control device can be configured on the cloud gaming client and implemented through an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, a PC, or a server.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the cloud gaming control method includes:

[0040] S110. When a controller connection event is obtained, the preset device information of the corresponding controller device is obtained.

[0041] In cloud gaming scenarios, users can control the cloud game through the operation controls on the cloud gaming client, essentially treating the client's controls as a virtual game controller. Alternatively, they can connect an external device, such as a game controller, to the terminal running the cloud gaming client to control the game. Typically, each client only supports one controller device (physical or virtual) for controlling the cloud game. In multi-player game scenarios, multiple clients connect to a single controller device to interact with the cloud gaming server, enabling control of multiple characters. This requires the cloud gaming server to connect to multiple clients simultaneously, repeatedly sending and rendering the same game audio and video data for the same scene.

[0042] In this embodiment, a cloud gaming client can support the simultaneous connection of multiple game controller devices. These multiple game controller devices can be physical game controllers, virtual game controllers, or a combination of both. Therefore, whenever a game controller connection event is received, the corresponding preset device information of the game controller device is obtained to distinguish between multiple game controller devices during subsequent game controller operation event recognition and forwarding.

[0043] In one feasible implementation, a pre-defined controller connection event detection interface can be used to acquire controller connection events. This interface detects a controller connection event upon receiving a device connection signal from a pre-defined physical interface or a virtual controller creation command. For example, when a physical controller connects to a terminal device running a cloud gaming client via USB or Bluetooth, the controller connection event detection interface function is called, causing the cloud gaming client to acquire a controller connection event.

[0044] Upon receiving a controller connection event, the default device information for the corresponding controller device can be obtained by calling a parameter reading function or through other means. This default device information may include one or more of the following combinations: device index number, device type (physical or virtual), device name, device manufacturer identifier, device product number, and device connection status (device inserted or removed). When the device is a virtual controller, the corresponding device manufacturer identifier and product number may be omitted or represented by an executable symbol.

[0045] S120. Based on the preset device information, interact with the target cloud gaming server to register the gamepad device, and assign a device management number to the successfully registered gamepad device.

[0046] After obtaining the device information of the connected gamepad, the cloud gaming client will send a registration request for the gamepad to the cloud gaming server so that the operation commands of the gamepad can be recognized and distinguished during subsequent cloud gaming operations.

[0047] When the cloud gaming server receives a gamepad registration request, it verifies the gamepad's device information as trustworthy and saves a copy of the device information in the cloud. Then, it sends a successful registration message to the cloud gaming client.

[0048] Upon receiving feedback that the gamepad device has successfully registered, the cloud gaming client can list the gamepad device as a target managed device and determine its device management number. This device management number can be a trusted number generated based on preset numbering rules, or it can be the gamepad's corresponding device index number. Based on this device management number, the cloud gaming client can distinguish between different gamepad devices and intercept and identify the gamepad's operation control commands.

[0049] S130. Obtain the controller operation event and forward the controller operation event to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the controller operation event, so as to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0050] Gamepad operation events can be triggered by actions such as button presses, joystick activation, or changes in gamepad positioning information. The triggering of a gamepad operation event is associated with its corresponding gamepad device; therefore, the device management number of the corresponding gamepad device can be obtained from the acquired gamepad operation event.

[0051] Furthermore, the cloud gaming client can encapsulate the event information of the acquired controller operation events based on a pre-defined communication management protocol for multiple controller devices and the corresponding device association number, and forward it to the target cloud gaming server. This enables the target cloud gaming server to parse the controller operation events according to preset protocol rules (rules corresponding to the aforementioned multi-controller device management communication protocol), and add the corresponding control commands to the corresponding cloud gaming process, i.e., inject them into the operating system running the target cloud game, thus realizing the cloud gaming operation control process. After parsing the controller operation events, the cloud gaming server can determine which successfully registered controller issued the operation command, thereby enabling the corresponding operation.

[0052] In one feasible embodiment, the interaction between the cloud gaming client and the cloud gaming server can refer to... Figure 2 The interactive framework shown. Figure 2In this cloud gaming client, a single client can simultaneously connect to N gamepad devices, providing pre-defined gamepad services such as monitoring and handling the connection status of physical / virtual gamepads, gamepad registration / unregistration, gamepad information management, device index information allocation, and interception of physical gamepad operation events. The cloud gaming client can also forward gamepad operation events packaged using a pre-defined gamepad protocol and handle message events such as device registration status changes returned by the cloud gaming server. The gamepad protocol refers to the protocol module used for gamepad communication between the cloud gaming client SDK and the core services of the cloud gaming server. For example, it is responsible for packaging and parsing event protocols related to physical or virtual gamepad registration / unregistration, gamepad button activity, and gamepad joystick activity. The cloud gaming server can parse gamepad operation times based on the gamepad protocol to implement game operations. In this embodiment, cloud gaming primarily involves third-party PC games that support multiple players and multiple roles.

[0053] The technical solution of this disclosure involves acquiring preset device information for each gamepad connection event, interacting with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information to register the gamepad device, and assigning a device management number to each successfully registered gamepad to distinguish different gamepads. Gamepad operation events are acquired and forwarded to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with each operation event, ensuring that the operation control commands of each gamepad can be accurately identified to achieve the corresponding cloud gaming operation control. This technical solution solves the problem of limited gamepad connectivity and restricted gaming scenarios, allowing a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple gamepad devices simultaneously. This enables users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thus expanding the scope of cloud gaming scenarios.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating yet another cloud gaming control method provided in this disclosure. Based on the above embodiments, it further explains the forwarding process of operation events for each game controller. This method can be executed by a cloud gaming control device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware, optionally through an electronic device such as a mobile terminal, PC, or server.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the cloud gaming control method includes:

[0056] S210. When a controller connection event is obtained, the preset device information of the corresponding controller device is obtained.

[0057] S220. Based on the preset device information, interact with the target cloud gaming server to register the gamepad device, and assign a device management number to the successfully registered gamepad device.

[0058] S230. Establish a signaling channel between the successfully registered gamepad device and the target cloud gaming server, and save the mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered gamepad device and the signaling channel.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, to enable the interaction of game control commands between the cloud gaming client and the cloud gaming server, a signaling channel can be established between each gamepad device and the cloud gaming server. For example, when five gamepad devices simultaneously connect to the cloud gaming client and successfully register on the cloud gaming server, the cloud gaming client will establish five signaling channels with the cloud gaming server. Each signaling channel can use the device management number of the corresponding gamepad device as the distinguishing information, or it can be marked separately for each signaling channel, thereby establishing a mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered gamepad device and the signaling channel.

[0060] S240. Obtain the handle operation event, and determine the target signaling channel for forwarding the handle operation event based on the device management number associated with the handle operation event and the mapping relationship.

[0061] The mapping relationship between device management number and signaling channel can be stored as a data table in the cloud gaming client. When forwarding operation events, the target signaling channel is determined by looking up the table.

[0062] For the acquired controller operation events, the operation events can be forwarded through the dedicated signaling channel of the associated controller device. This can avoid information confusion between multiple controller devices, ensure that controller operation events are responded to effectively, and manage multiple controller devices accurately and efficiently, so as to ensure the smooth operation of multi-role games.

[0063] S250. The controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server through the target signaling channel to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0064] The cloud gaming client can encapsulate the event information of the acquired gamepad operation events based on a pre-defined communication management protocol for multiple gamepad devices and the corresponding device association number. This encapsulated gamepad operation events are then forwarded to the target cloud gaming server via a target signaling channel. The target cloud gaming server then parses the gamepad operation events according to preset protocol rules (rules corresponding to the aforementioned multi-gamepad device management communication protocol) and adds the corresponding control commands to the corresponding cloud gaming process, i.e., injects them into the operating system running the target cloud game, thus realizing the cloud gaming operation control process.

[0065] The technical solution of this disclosure involves acquiring preset device information for each game controller connection event, interacting with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information to register the game controller, and assigning a device management number to each successfully registered game controller to distinguish different game controllers. A signaling channel is then established between the successfully registered game controller and the target cloud gaming server, and the mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered game controller and the signaling channel is saved. Game controller operation events are acquired, and based on the device management number associated with the game controller operation event and the mapping relationship, a target signaling channel for forwarding the game controller operation event is determined. The game controller operation event is then forwarded to the target cloud gaming server, ensuring that the operation control commands of each game controller can be accurately identified to achieve the corresponding cloud gaming operation control. This technical solution solves the problem of limited game controller access numbers restricting gaming scenarios. It supports a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple game controller devices simultaneously, allowing users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thus expanding the cloud gaming scenario.

[0066] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a cloud gaming control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Based on the above embodiment, the registration and unregistration management process of the gamepad device is further explained. This method can be executed by a cloud gaming control device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware, optionally through an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, PC, or server.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, the cloud gaming control method includes:

[0068] S310. When a controller connection event is obtained, the preset device information of the corresponding controller device is obtained.

[0069] S320. Based on the preset device information, interact with the target cloud gaming server to register the gamepad device, and assign a device management number to the successfully registered gamepad device.

[0070] S330. Establish a signaling channel between the successfully registered gamepad device and the target cloud gaming server, and save the mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered gamepad device and the signaling channel.

[0071] S340. Obtain the controller operation event and verify the registration connection status of the controller device associated with the controller operation event.

[0072] Once a gamepad operation event is received from the gamepad device, it can be intercepted using a pre-defined event interception function. The registration and connection status of the gamepad device associated with the operation event is verified to prevent the forwarding of operation events from unregistered gamepads to the cloud gaming server, which could cause abnormal operation responses.

[0073] In some scenarios, the controller device may lose connection or unregister with the cloud gaming server to exit game control. Operation events from controller devices that are not maintaining a registered connection will not be sent to the cloud gaming server.

[0074] S350. When it is determined that the controller device associated with the controller operation event is in a registered connection state, the controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the controller operation event, so as to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0075] S360. When registration cancellation information of any controller device is obtained, the controller operation event of the controller device is blocked according to the device management number associated with the registration cancellation information, and the registration information of the controller device is removed.

[0076] It is understandable that this step of S360 can occur at any time after any gamepad device has been registered, and is not limited to after a gamepad operation event is detected.

[0077] When multiple gamepad devices are connected to the cloud gaming client, if any gamepad device loses its connection to the cloud gaming client (either by physically unplugging it or by using a virtual gamepad exit command), a registration cancellation event (unregistration) will be triggered. The cloud gaming client will then receive the registration cancellation information. Based on this message, the client will stop intercepting the corresponding gamepad operation events and remove the gamepad device's registration information, reducing redundant signaling channels and information exchange between the cloud gaming client and the cloud gaming server.

[0078] In one feasible implementation, the cloud gaming control process can be referenced. Figure 5 The flowchart shown is in Figure 5The code indicates that after a multi-player game begins, the cloud gaming client loops to detect gamepad insertion and removal events until a corresponding event is detected. When a gamepad is inserted into the terminal device running the cloud gaming client, its device information is obtained. Based on this information, a registration message is sent to the cloud gaming server (cloud container). Upon detecting the registration message, the cloud gaming server registers the gamepad and returns a registration message. Successful registration is achieved by saving the registration message on both the cloud gaming server and the cloud gaming client. The cloud gaming client can then intercept gamepad operation events and verify the associated gamepad device. If the verification is successful, the gamepad operation event is forwarded to the cloud gaming server based on the gamepad protocol. The cloud gaming server then parses the gamepad operation event based on the gamepad protocol and injects the parsed result into the operating system, responding with the corresponding operation commands. When a gamepad is unplugged, a deregistration message is sent to the cloud gaming server to unbind the gamepad from the cloud gaming client, cancel the interception of corresponding gamepad operation events, and remove the registration information corresponding to that gamepad. Through this process, a single cloud gaming client can support the access of multiple gamepads, enabling multi-character game operation based on a single client.

[0079] The technical solution of this disclosure involves acquiring preset device information for each game controller connection event, interacting with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information to register the game controller, and assigning a device management number to each successfully registered game controller to distinguish different game controllers. A signaling channel is established between the successfully registered game controller and the target cloud gaming server, and the mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered game controller and the signaling channel is saved. Game controller operation events are acquired, and the registration connection status of the game controller associated with the operation event is verified. When it is determined that the game controller associated with the operation event is in a registration connection state, the game controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the operation event. This ensures that the operation control commands of each game controller can be accurately identified to achieve the corresponding cloud gaming operation control. The technical solution of this disclosure solves the problem of limited game controller access quantity, which restricts game scenarios. It supports a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple game controllers simultaneously, allowing users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thus expanding the cloud gaming scenario.

[0080] Figure 6This disclosure provides a cloud gaming control device suitable for cloud gaming scenarios, particularly where multiple users collaborate to play a game through the same game client. The cloud gaming control device can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be configured on an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, a PC, or a server.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the cloud gaming control device includes: a gamepad connection detection module 410, a gamepad registration module 420, and a game control command acquisition module 430.

[0082] The controller connection detection module 410 is used to obtain the preset device information of the corresponding controller device each time a controller connection event is obtained; the controller registration module 420 is used to interact with the target cloud gaming server to register the controller device according to the preset device information, and to determine the device management number for the successfully registered controller device; the game control command acquisition module 430 is used to acquire controller operation events, and forward the controller operation events to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with the controller operation events, so as to realize the corresponding cloud gaming operation control.

[0083] The technical solution of this disclosure involves acquiring preset device information for each gamepad connection event, interacting with the target cloud gaming server based on the preset device information to register the gamepad device, and assigning a device management number to each successfully registered gamepad to distinguish different gamepads. Gamepad operation events are acquired and forwarded to the target cloud gaming server based on the device management number associated with each operation event, ensuring that the operation control commands of each gamepad can be accurately identified to achieve the corresponding cloud gaming operation control. This technical solution solves the problem of limited gamepad connectivity and restricted gaming scenarios, allowing a single cloud gaming client to connect to and manage multiple gamepad devices simultaneously. This enables users to experience multi-party collaborative gaming based on the same cloud gaming client, thus expanding the scope of cloud gaming scenarios.

[0084] In an optional implementation, the handle registration module 420 can also be used for:

[0085] Establish a signaling channel between the successfully registered gamepad device and the target cloud gaming server, and save the mapping relationship between the device management number of the successfully registered gamepad device and the signaling channel.

[0086] In one optional implementation, the game control command acquisition module 430 is specifically used for:

[0087] Based on the device management number associated with the handle operation event and the mapping relationship, determine the target signaling channel for forwarding the handle operation event;

[0088] The controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server through the target signaling channel.

[0089] In an alternative implementation, the handle registration module 420 can also be used for:

[0090] Before forwarding the controller operation event, verify the registration connection status of the controller device associated with the controller operation event.

[0091] In one optional implementation, the handle connection detection module 410 is specifically used for:

[0092] A controller connection event is received, including:

[0093] In response to a device connection signal from a preset physical interface, a controller connection event is received; or...

[0094] In response to the virtual controller creation command, a controller connection event is received.

[0095] In an optional implementation, the handle registration module 420 is further configured to:

[0096] Obtain registration cancellation information for any of the aforementioned controller devices;

[0097] Based on the device management number associated with the registration cancellation information, the blocking of the controller operation events of the controller device is canceled, and the registration information of the controller device is removed.

[0098] In one optional implementation, the game control command acquisition module 430 is specifically used for:

[0099] Forwarding the controller operation events to the target cloud gaming server to achieve corresponding cloud gaming operation control includes:

[0100] The controller operation event is forwarded to the target cloud gaming server, so that the target cloud gaming server parses the controller operation event according to the preset protocol rules, and adds the control command corresponding to the parsing result to the corresponding cloud gaming process, thereby realizing the cloud gaming operation control process.
