Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of game promotion technology, and in particular to a method, device and medium for distributing mini-games on mobile applications. Background Technology

[0002] Current mini-game distribution solutions are based on promotional videos. This involves manually creating game promotional videos in advance and then distributing them to users. Users need to watch the video first, and if interested, click to enter the game. During this process, users also need to wait for the game to load. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a distribution scheme based on promotional videos.

[0003] As mentioned above, the existing distribution scheme has the following problems: (1) High labor costs: Promotional videos need to be produced manually, so there are problems of high cost and low efficiency; (2) High video bandwidth costs: Transmitting data from the server to the user side will incur costs. Since the data volume of promotional videos is often large, the existing distribution scheme will inevitably generate high bandwidth costs; (3) Long distribution process: In the current distribution scheme, users always see the promotional video first and then decide whether to enter the game. Therefore, the process always has three stages: video recording (real-time or non-real-time), user watching the video, and user clicking the video to enter the game. The overall distribution process is long and easy to cause user churn.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mini-game distribution method that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method, device, and medium for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, which can reduce game distribution costs and allow users to quickly enter the game without waiting for it to load. The specific solution is as follows:

[0006] Firstly, this application discloses a method for distributing mini-games on a mobile application, applicable to mobile devices, including:

[0007] Using pre-acquired recommendation page information, estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game on the interactive interface of the local target mobile application;

[0008] If the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game is started through the target mobile application, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data of the target mini-game from the mini-game server after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode;

[0009] When it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, a screen rendering command is sent to the target mini-game through the target mobile application to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data.

[0010] Optionally, the mini-game server includes a mini-game static resource server and a mini-game backend server;

[0011] Accordingly, the step of initiating a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game through the target mobile application, so that the target mini-game loads its target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode, includes:

[0012] The target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode, the target mini-game sends a first loading command to the mini-game static resource server to download the static resource server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game static resource server, and sends a second loading command to the mini-game backend server to obtain the backend server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game backend server.

[0013] Optionally, the mini-game server includes a mini-game static resource server and a mini-game backend server;

[0014] Accordingly, the step of initiating a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game through the target mobile application, so that the target mini-game loads its target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode, includes:

[0015] The target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode, the target mini-game sends a first loading command to the mini-game static resource server to download the static resource server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game static resource server;

[0016] Accordingly, when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, a screen rendering command is sent from the target mobile application to the target mini-game to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data, including:

[0017] When it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, a second loading command is sent to the mini-game backend server through the target mini-game to obtain the backend server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game backend server.

[0018] Once it is detected that the background server data has been acquired, a screen rendering command is sent to the target mini-game through the target mobile application to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded static resource server data and the background server data.

[0019] Optionally, the static resource server data includes image files and / or audio files required by the target mini-game.

[0020] Optionally, before the target mini-game loads its target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode, the method further includes:

[0021] The energy consumption of each stage of the game screen rendering process of the target mini-game is analyzed to obtain the first analysis result;

[0022] The stress status of the mini-game server was analyzed to obtain a second analysis result;

[0023] Based on the first analysis result and the second analysis result, the target resource data that needs to be preloaded is determined.

[0024] Optionally, the distribution of mini-games on the mobile application also includes:

[0025] The target mobile application creates a preloaded function settings interface on the interactive interface;

[0026] Monitor the preload function selection command input by the user through the preload function setting interface;

[0027] Choose to enable or disable the preloading function of the target mini-game according to the preloading function selection instruction.

[0028] Optionally, the step of selecting to enable or disable the preloading function of the target mini-game according to the preloading function selection instruction includes:

[0029] If it is detected that the user inputs the preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface as an instruction to disable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is prohibited from starting the pre-execution mode, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data only after the distribution request is triggered;

[0030] If it is detected that the user inputs a preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface to select to enable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is allowed to start the pre-execution mode.

[0031] Secondly, this application discloses a method for distributing mini-games on a mobile application, applied to the server side, including:

[0032] Recommendation page information is sent to the mobile device so that the mobile device can estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game on the interactive interface of the local target mobile application based on the recommendation page information. After the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game is launched through the target mobile application.

[0033] Obtain the loading command sent by the target mini-game after the target mobile application launches the pre-execution mode;

[0034] The target resource data of the target mini-game to be loaded is determined according to the loading command, and the target resource data is sent to the target mini-game on the target mobile application so that the target mini-game can complete the loading of the target resource data before the target mobile application triggers a distribution request for the target mini-game. After detecting that the distribution request has been triggered, the target resource data is used to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface.

[0035] Thirdly, this application discloses a mini-game distribution device for mobile applications, applied to mobile devices, comprising:

[0036] The distribution time determination module is used to estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game to the interactive interface of the local target mobile application using the pre-acquired recommendation page information;

[0037] The pre-execution module is used to start a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game through the target mobile application if the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data of the target mini-game from the mini-game server after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode;

[0038] The game screen rendering module is used to send a screen rendering command to the target mini-game through the target mobile application when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, so as to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data.

[0039] Fourthly, this application discloses a mini-game distribution device for mobile applications, applied on the server side, comprising:

[0040] The recommendation page information sending module is used to send recommendation page information to the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game on the interactive interface of the local target mobile application based on the recommendation page information. After the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game is started through the target mobile application.

[0041] The loading command acquisition module is used to acquire the loading command sent by the target mini-game after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode;

[0042] The target resource data delivery module is used to determine the target resource data of the target mini-game to be loaded according to the loading command, and to deliver the target resource data to the target mini-game on the target mobile application, so that the target mini-game can complete the loading of the target resource data before the target mobile application triggers a distribution request for the target mini-game, and after detecting that the distribution request has been triggered, to use the target resource data to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface.

[0043] Fifthly, this application discloses an electronic device, comprising:

[0044] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0045] A processor is configured to execute the computer program to implement the aforementioned method for distributing mini-games on a mobile application.

[0046] Sixthly, this application discloses a computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program; wherein, when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the aforementioned method for distributing mini-games on a mobile application.

[0047] As can be seen, this application proposes a method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, applied to mobile devices, comprising: estimating the distribution time of a target mini-game on the interactive interface of a local target mobile application using pre-acquired recommendation page information; if the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that the target mini-game loads target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode; when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, then the target mobile application sends a screen rendering command to the target mini-game to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data. In summary, to avoid long user wait times due to direct game loading, this application preloads the target resource data of the target mini-game when the user is about to be assigned to it. This allows the application to directly render the game screen on the interactive interface based on the preloaded target resource data when the user is assigned to the target mini-game. In other words, the target mini-game is immediately playable upon assignment, eliminating the need for user waiting time. This improves the user experience, prevents user churn, and further reduces game distribution costs because it eliminates the need for pre-produced promotional videos. Attached Figure Description

[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The existing distribution scheme has the following problems: (1) high labor costs; (2) high video bandwidth costs; (3) long distribution process, which can easily lead to user churn.

[0064] Therefore, this application proposes a mini-game distribution scheme for mobile applications, which can reduce game distribution costs and allow users to quickly enter the game without waiting for it to load.

[0065] The system framework used in the mobile application mini-game distribution scheme of this application can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, it may specifically include a mini-game library 01 and a mini-game distribution platform on mobile applications 02, and may also include a new media platform 03.

[0066] Specifically, the mini-game library 01 is used to store mini-games and send them to the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application as target mini-games. After receiving the target mini-games sent by the mini-game library 01, the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application can distribute the target mini-games according to the specific mini-game distribution method provided in this application. In addition, it can also upload the target mini-games to the new media platform 03 when triggered by the user or automatically. After receiving the target mini-games sent by the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application, the new media platform 03 can display them on the platform, and after receiving a mini-game distribution request initiated by the user, it can play the corresponding target mini-games through a video player.

[0067] There can be many specific instances regarding the positional relationship between the mini-game library 01, the mini-game distribution platform on mobile applications 02, and the new media platform 03.

[0068] In one specific example, both the mini-game library 01 and the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application reside on the user's handheld terminal. While the user is playing a target mini-game on their handheld terminal, the terminal can record the corresponding target mini-game and save it locally to the mini-game library 01. Upon user triggering, the handheld terminal can input the target mini-game from the mini-game library 01 to the local mini-game distribution platform 02. When the user wishes to share a target mini-game, they can remotely send it to the new media platform 03 via their handheld terminal, allowing users on the new media platform 03 to view the shared target mini-game.

[0069] In another specific example, the mini-game library 01 and the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application are both located on the same server. This server receives and saves target mini-games uploaded by various users, distributes the target mini-games through the local mobile application mini-game distribution platform 02, and then displays the target mini-games through the new media platform 03 to share with users of the new media platform 03.

[0070] In another specific example, the mini-game library 01 is located on the user's handheld terminal or a server, while the mini-game distribution platform 02 and the new media platform 03 on the mobile application are located on another server. In this way, after the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application distributes the target mini-game, it can be directly displayed through the local new media platform 03 without the need for remote data transmission. In this way, it is equivalent to integrating the game distribution function into the new media platform 03.

[0071] Of course, the mini-game library 01, the mini-game distribution platform 02 on the mobile application, and the new media platform 13 can also be located on different servers, maintained and managed by different companies, and ultimately the target mini-games can be displayed through a video client connected to the new media platform 03.

[0072] This application discloses a method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, applicable to mobile devices. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0073] Step S11: Use the pre-obtained recommendation page information to estimate the distribution time when the target mini-game is distributed to the interactive interface of the local target mobile application.

[0074] Understandably, the recommendation page is used to match content that users might like from a massive amount of content. For example, when a user opens WeSing, they will see their friends' karaoke information, the overall karaoke ranking information, and the national popularity karaoke ranking information. This information is the recommendation page information. Interspersed within the recommendation page information are some mini-games. These mini-games refer to games that are small in size and simple to play, such as match-3, Gomoku, and Jump Jump in Douyin and WeSing. Furthermore, when a user sees a mini-game through the interactive interface, it can also be understood that the user is assigned to that mini-game. The interactive interface includes, but is not limited to, mobile phone and tablet interfaces.

[0075] In this embodiment, the distribution time of the target mini-game on the interactive interface of the local target mobile application is estimated by using the pre-obtained recommendation page information, that is, the time when the user may come across the target mini-game.

[0076] Step S12: If the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured condition indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game is started through the target mobile application, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data of the target mini-game from the mini-game server after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode.

[0077] In one specific implementation, the condition for the mini-game to be distributed is pre-configured as follows: the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time is less than 1 minute. When the difference is less than 1 minute, the target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game. This allows the target mini-game to load its target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode. It is understood that the aforementioned 1 minute is only one specific implementation method; in different scenarios, the corresponding duration can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0078] The mini-game server includes a static resource server and a backend server. Further, the target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game. This allows the target mini-game to load its target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode. This includes: the target mobile application initiating the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that the target mini-game sends a first loading command to the static resource server to download its static resource server data, and sends a second loading command to the backend server to retrieve its backend server data. The static resource server data includes image files and / or audio files required by the target mini-game, and the backend server data includes, for example, the number of levels a player has completed in a particular mini-game. The mini-game can monitor whether the target mobile application has initiated the pre-execution mode through a pre-configured first listening interface.

[0079] Step S13: When it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, a screen rendering command is sent to the target mini-game through the target mobile application to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data.

[0080] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, it indicates that the target mini-game has been distributed to the interactive interface of the target mobile application, and also indicates that the user has seen the target mini-game. At the same time, the target mobile application sends a screen rendering command to the target mini-game to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using pre-loaded static resource server data and backend server data.

[0081] In this embodiment, a pre-configured second listening interface can be used to monitor whether the target mobile application sends a screen rendering command. It should be noted that the first listening interface can be the same listening interface or different listening interfaces.

[0082] In summary, after starting the pre-execution mode, this application only loads the target resource data and waits for the screen rendering instruction. At this time, the screen rendering logic is blocked. After receiving the screen rendering instruction, the screen rendering is performed based on the pre-loaded target resource data. In this way, the game can run in the background in advance without affecting the performance of the user viewing the current content, thus avoiding any negative impact on the user's performance.

[0083] Compared to existing distribution methods, this application removes the steps of creating, recording, and distributing videos, replacing them with a "pre-executed game," allowing users to see live gameplay footage upon entering the game. This application offers greater engagement than existing distribution methods, reducing the need for recording game videos and guiding players to open the game, thereby saving labor and bandwidth costs. It also shortens the distribution process, ensuring users can quickly enter the game, thus saving costs while prioritizing user experience.

[0084] As can be seen, this application proposes a method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, applied to mobile devices, comprising: estimating the distribution time of a target mini-game on the interactive interface of a local target mobile application using pre-acquired recommendation page information; if the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that the target mini-game loads target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode; when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, then the target mobile application sends a screen rendering command to the target mini-game to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data. In summary, to avoid long user wait times due to direct game loading, this application preloads the target resource data of the target mini-game when the user is about to be assigned to it. This allows the application to directly render the game screen on the interactive interface based on the preloaded target resource data when the user is assigned to the target mini-game. In other words, the target mini-game is immediately playable upon assignment, eliminating the need for user waiting time. This improves the user experience, prevents user churn, and further reduces game distribution costs because it eliminates the need for pre-produced promotional videos.

[0085] It should be noted that if the energy consumption of each stage of the game screen rendering process of the target mini-game causes a large pressure on the mini-game server, this application can preload a portion of the target resource data during the pre-execution mode, and then load another portion of the target resource data when the user is assigned to the target mini-game, so as to reduce the user's waiting time and reduce the pressure on the mini-game server.

[0086] Based on this, this application discloses a specific method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0087] Step S21: Use the pre-obtained recommendation page information to estimate the distribution time when the target mini-game is distributed to the interactive interface of the local target mobile application.

[0088] Step S22: If the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode, the target mini-game sends a first loading command to the mini-game static resource server to download the static resource server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game static resource server.

[0089] Specifically, firstly, the energy consumption of each stage of the game screen rendering process of the target mini-game is analyzed to obtain a first analysis result. Then, the pressure status of the mini-game server is analyzed to obtain a second analysis result. Further, based on the first analysis result and the second analysis result, the target resource data that needs to be preloaded is determined. In this embodiment, it is determined that the mini-game server is under great pressure. Therefore, only a portion of the target resource data is preloaded, that is, the static resource server data is preloaded.

[0090] Step S23: When it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, a second loading command is sent from the target mini-game to the mini-game backend server to obtain the backend server data of the target mini-game from the mini-game backend server.

[0091] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, it indicates that the target mini-game has been distributed to the interactive interface of the target mobile application. Then, the target mini-game sends a second loading command to the mini-game's backend server to obtain the target mini-game's backend server data. In other words, in this embodiment, the remaining target resource data is only obtained when the target mini-game has been distributed to the interactive interface of the target mobile application.

[0092] Step S24: When it is detected that the background server data has been acquired, a screen rendering command is sent to the target mini-game through the target mobile application to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded static resource server data and the background server data.

[0093] In summary, this embodiment can reduce the pressure on the mini-game server while reducing user waiting time by controlling the size of the pre-loaded target resource data.

[0094] This application discloses a specific method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications. Compared to the previous embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution. See also... Figure 6 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0095] Step S31: Create a preloaded function settings interface on the interactive interface through the target mobile application.

[0096] In this embodiment, a preloading function setting interface is created on the interactive interface through the target mobile application, allowing users to choose to enable or disable the preloading function.

[0097] Step S32: Monitor the preload function selection command input by the user through the preload function setting interface.

[0098] It is understandable that after the preloading function setting interface is created, the preloading function selection command input by the user through the preloading function setting interface is monitored. The preloading function selection command includes the command to turn off the preloading function of the target mini-game and the command to turn on the preloading function of the target mini-game.

[0099] Step S33: Select to enable or disable the preloading function of the target mini-game according to the preloading function selection instruction.

[0100] In one specific implementation, if it is detected that the user inputs a preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface to select to disable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is prohibited from starting the pre-execution mode, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data only after the distribution request is triggered.

[0101] In another specific implementation, if it is detected that the user inputs a preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface as an instruction to select to enable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is allowed to start the pre-execution mode.

[0102] In other words, after the preloading function is enabled, the target resource data is preloaded according to the logic described in the above embodiment. If the preloading function is disabled, the target resource data is preloaded when the user is assigned to the target mini-game. As can be seen from the above, this embodiment can provide users with multiple target data resource loading methods so that users can choose according to their actual needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0103] This application discloses a method for distributing mini-games on a mobile application, applied to the server side. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes:

[0104] Step S41: Send recommendation page information to the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game on the interactive interface of the local target mobile application based on the recommendation page information, and after the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, start the pre-execution mode for the target mini-game through the target mobile application.

[0105] Step S42: Obtain the loading command sent by the target mini-game after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode;

[0106] Step S43: Determine the target resource data of the target mini-game to be loaded according to the loading command, and send the target resource data to the target mini-game on the target mobile application so that the target mini-game can complete the loading of the target resource data before the target mobile application triggers the distribution request for the target mini-game, and after detecting that the distribution request is triggered, use the target resource data to perform game screen rendering operation on the interactive interface.

[0107] See Figure 8As shown, on the user side, when a user enters the game distribution scenario, they are about to be assigned a mini-game. On the App (Application, target mobile application) side, when the user is about to be assigned a mini-game, a pre-execution mode is initiated. On the game side, when the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode, it loads the target game resources, specifically including static server resources such as image files and audio files, as well as backend server data, and waits for the screen rendering instruction after loading is complete. Furthermore, when the user is assigned to the mini-game, the target mobile application sends an instruction to the mini-game to render the screen. After receiving the above instruction, the mini-game renders the screen based on the pre-loaded target resource data. For the user, after being assigned to the mini-game, they can immediately enter the game and see the game screen without waiting for the game to load.

[0108] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, taking the distribution of mini-games on the WeSing mobile client as an example, after using this method on the karaoke room recommendation page, users can quickly open the game when they scroll up and down to the mini-game content without having to wait for the game to load, making it as easy as scrolling and playing.

[0109] Accordingly, this application also discloses a mini-game distribution device for mobile applications, applied to mobile devices, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 As shown, the device includes:

[0110] The distribution time determination module 11 is used to estimate the distribution time of the target mini-game to the interactive interface of the local target mobile application using the pre-acquired recommendation page information;

[0111] The pre-execution module 12 is used to start a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game through the target mobile application if the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data of the target mini-game from the mini-game server after the target mobile application starts the pre-execution mode;

[0112] The game screen rendering module 13 is used to send a screen rendering command to the target mini-game through the target mobile application when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, so as to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operation on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data.

[0113] For more detailed information on the working process of each of the above modules, please refer to the relevant content disclosed in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0114] As can be seen, this application proposes a method for distributing mini-games on mobile applications, applied to mobile devices, comprising: estimating the distribution time of a target mini-game on the interactive interface of a local target mobile application using pre-acquired recommendation page information; if the difference between the distribution time and the current actual time meets the pre-configured conditions indicating that the mini-game is about to be distributed, then the target mobile application initiates a pre-execution mode for the target mini-game, so that the target mini-game loads target resource data from the mini-game server after the target mobile application initiates the pre-execution mode; when it is detected that the target mobile application has triggered a distribution request for the target mini-game, then the target mobile application sends a screen rendering command to the target mini-game to control the target mini-game to perform game screen rendering operations on the interactive interface using the pre-loaded target resource data. In summary, to avoid long user wait times due to direct game loading, this application preloads the target resource data of the target mini-game when the user is about to be assigned to it. This allows the application to directly render the game screen on the interactive interface based on the preloaded target resource data when the user is assigned to the target mini-game. In other words, the target mini-game is immediately playable upon assignment, eliminating the need for user waiting time. This improves the user experience, prevents user churn, and further reduces game distribution costs because it eliminates the need for pre-produced promotional videos.

[0134] If it is detected that the user inputs the preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface as an instruction to disable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is prohibited from starting the pre-execution mode, so that the target mini-game loads the target resource data only after the distribution request is triggered;

[0135] If it is detected that the user inputs a preloading function selection instruction through the preloading function setting interface to select to enable the preloading function of the target mini-game, then the target mobile application is allowed to start the pre-execution mode.
