Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this specification relate to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to object synchronization methods, computing devices, storage media, and computer program products. Background Art

[0002] In a virtual scene, when a large number of virtual characters are within the field of vision of a target virtual character, the client of the target virtual character can load and render these characters to ensure the authenticity of the user's virtual reality experience. However, this will cause the client's performance to degrade. Synchronizing the status information of a large number of characters to the client will increase network traffic, which may cause network congestion or delay, thereby affecting the virtual reality experience. The client also needs to parse and manage a large amount of received character data, which increases the burden on the client's CPU and memory, resulting in unstable operation of the virtual scene. Therefore, an effective technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] Many specific details are described in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of this specification. However, this specification can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of this specification, so this specification is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed below.

These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of one or more embodiments of this specification, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0017] In addition, it should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions, and provide corresponding operation entrances for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0018] First, the terms involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are explained.

[0019] CPU: Central Processing Unit, is one of the main hardware of the computer, responsible for executing instructions and processing data in the computer.

[0020] NPC: Non-Player Character, a character controlled by the game, not directly controlled by the player. They are usually part of the game, providing tasks, dialogue or other interactive elements.

[0021] GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, a processor specifically used to accelerate image rendering and graphics-related calculations.

[0022] AOI: Area of ​​Interest, usually refers to the attention and management of a specific area in a specific field. In games, AOI management may refer to the optimization of game objects within the player's activity range. For example, in massively multiplayer online games (MMORPGs), only objects within the player's visible range (i.e., AOI) will be fully loaded and rendered, which can reduce unnecessary computing load and improve game performance.

[0023] MMORPG: Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, a type of game that allows thousands of players to play simultaneously on the same server. Such games usually have a continuously evolving virtual world where players can explore, fight, complete quests, etc.

[0024] In practical applications, virtual scenes can be multiplayer online games, for example. In multiplayer MMORPGs, synchronization of game players has always been a big problem. Usually, all players within the field of view can be synchronized to the client, and the client adopts different resource loading strategies to reduce the problem of excessive resource loading on the client, which causes lag. However, if there are many game players, the game will still be stuck, because synchronizing too many characters will also put pressure on network transmission, and the client has a large overhead for character data analysis and management, which will cause a burden on the client's CPU and memory. Therefore, an effective technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0025] In this specification, an object synchronization method is provided. This specification also relates to an object synchronization device, a game object synchronization method, a game object synchronization device, a computing device, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of an object synchronization method provided according to an embodiment of the present specification is shown, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0027] Step 102: Determine multiple associated objects of the target object.

[0028] Specifically, the object synchronization method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be applied to the field of virtual scenes, such as games, virtual animations, virtual reality, etc. In the field of games, the object synchronization method can be used to synchronize the display interface of the player's client with the status of other players or NPC characters within the player's field of view. Then, in the field of virtual reality, the user can enter the virtual scene by wearing a virtual reality device, then the object synchronization method can be used to synchronize the status of other virtual reality users within the user's field of view in the virtual scene entered by the user.

[0029] For ease of understanding, the embodiments of this specification are described using the object synchronization method applied to a game scenario as an example, which does not affect the application of the object synchronization method provided in the embodiments of this specification to other scenarios.

[0030] Among them, the target object can be understood as the virtual character of the target game user in the game scene, and the multiple associated objects of the target object can be understood as other game characters within the field of view of the target object. The associated objects can include the virtual characters of other game users in the game scene, and can also include game NPC characters in the target game.

[0031] In a specific implementation, objects within a preset distance range corresponding to the target object can be determined as multiple associated objects of the target object according to the preset distance range. The preset distance range can be set according to the target game.

[0032] In practical applications, all objects within the field of view of the target object can be determined as multiple associated objects of the target object. An object synchronization list can be established in AOI management, and the associated objects can be added to the object synchronization list. Furthermore, the object synchronization list can include a player synchronization list and an NPC synchronization list. Then, the virtual characters of other game users in the game scene included in the associated objects can be added to the player synchronization list, and the game NPC characters in the target game included in the associated objects can be added to the NPC synchronization list.

[0033] Step 104: Determine an association weight of each associated object in the multiple associated objects relative to the target object according to the association relationship between the target object and the multiple associated objects.

[0034] Specifically, after determining the multiple associated objects of the target object, the association weight of each associated object relative to the target object may be determined according to the association relationship between the target object and each of the multiple associated objects.

[0035] In actual applications, in each game frame of the target game, the player synchronization list and the NPC synchronization list will be refreshed and detected, and the player synchronization list and the NPC synchronization list will be traversed. According to the traversal results, multiple associated objects of the target object that need to be synchronized are obtained, and the association weights of the associated objects and the target objects in the player synchronization list and the NPC synchronization list are calculated.

[0036] In a specific implementation, determining the association weight of each associated object relative to the target object in the multiple associated objects according to the association relationship between the target object and the multiple associated objects includes: Determine whether the association relationship between the target object and the multiple associated objects and between the associated objects satisfies a preset association rule, and obtain a determination result; According to the judgment result, an association weight of each of the multiple associated objects relative to the target object is determined.

[0037] Among them, the preset association rule can be understood as whether there is a preset association relationship between the target object and the associated object. The preset association relationship can include a combat relationship, a teammate relationship, an attack relationship, etc.

[0038] Specifically, for each associated object, it can be determined whether the associated object has a preset association relationship with the target object, and a determination result can be obtained. If the determination result is yes, the association weight of the associated object relative to the target object is increased. For example, if it is determined that the associated object has a teammate relationship with the target object, the association weight of the associated object relative to the target object is increased by 2.

[0039] In practical applications, an association weight can be given according to the distance between the target object and the associated object. For example, the closer the distance between the target object and the associated object, the higher the association weight given, and the farther the distance, the lower the association weight given. An association weight of 1 to 2 can be given according to the distance. When the associated player has multiplayer interactive actions or has special functions (such as the associated object transforming into an escort NPC), the association weight of the associated object can be increased by 10. When it is determined that there is a mandatory combat relationship between the target object and the associated object, the association weight can be increased by 10. When it is determined that there is a teammate relationship between the target object and the associated object, The associated object is given an association weight of 7. If it is determined that there is a community relationship between the target object and the associated object, the associated object can be given an association weight of 2. If it is determined that there is an attacked relationship or an attack relationship between the target object and the associated object, the associated object can be given an association weight of 1 to 2. On this basis, if it is determined according to the synchronization mark of the associated object that the associated object has been synchronized before and marked as an attack relationship, then the associated object can be given an association weight of 4 to 6. For the associated objects that have been synchronized (that is, already in the object synchronization queue), the association weight will also be increased by 1 to 2. For inactive associated objects, the association weight can be reduced by 1 to 5. Among them, inactive associated objects can be understood as other game players who have not performed any operations within the preset time period. It can be judged that the associated object is in an idle state or an abnormal connection state. Then, according to the above calculation rules, the maximum weight is 10.

[0040] For example, for the target object, the associated objects include: game player A, with an associated weight of 10, game player B, with an associated weight of 9, game player C, with an associated weight of 4, game NPC character D, with an associated weight of 7, and game NPC character E, with an associated weight of 5.

[0041] In summary, by calculating the association weight, it is convenient to synchronize the associated objects according to the association weight, so that other virtual characters closely related to the target object can be displayed on the client display interface of the target object.

[0042] Step 106: Sort the multiple associated objects according to the association weight of each associated object relative to the target object to obtain an object sorting queue.

[0043] The object sorting queue may be understood as a queue for sorting all associated objects of a target object.

[0044] Using the above example, multiple associated objects can be sorted according to the associated weight of each associated object, and the obtained object sorting queue includes: game player A, game player B, game NPC character D, game NPC character E, game player C.

[0045] Furthermore, after determining the association weight of each of the multiple associated objects relative to the target object, the method further includes: According to a preset adjustment rule, adjusting the association weight of each associated object among the multiple associated objects relative to the target object to obtain an adjusted association weight; The step of sorting the plurality of associated objects according to the association weight of each associated object relative to the target object to obtain an object sorting queue includes: The plurality of associated objects are sorted according to the adjusted associated weights to obtain an object sorting queue.

[0046] The preset adjustment rule may be understood as a rule for making adjustments based on the association relationship between the associated object and the target object.

[0047] Specifically, according to preset adjustment rules, N associated objects that are teammates with the target object and are closest to the target object can be determined from multiple associated objects, the association weights of the N associated objects can be adjusted to obtain adjusted association weights, and the multiple associated objects can be reordered according to the adjusted association weights to obtain an object sorting queue.

[0048] In actual applications, in order to avoid the situation where all other players displayed in the target object's client display interface are enemies, with too many enemies and no teammates or family members displayed, the weights of nearby teammates and family members will be increased to the maximum value of 11 to avoid blank friendly lists.

[0049] Step 108: Determine an object synchronization queue according to the object sorting queue, and send the object synchronization queue to the client of the target object, so that the client synchronizes the multiple associated objects according to the object synchronization queue.

[0050] Among them, the object synchronization queue may include associated objects that need to be synchronized after being screened according to the associated weight. In actual applications, similar to the object synchronization list, the object synchronization queue may also include a player synchronization queue and an NPC synchronization queue. Then, the virtual characters of other game users in the game scene that have been screened can be added to the player synchronization queue, and the game NPC characters in the target game that have been screened can be added to the NPC synchronization queue. The client synchronizes multiple associated objects according to the object synchronization queue, which can be understood as the client rendering and displaying multiple associated objects in the object synchronization queue on the client's display interface.

[0051] Optionally, the player synchronization queue and the NPC synchronization queue can be sent to the client based on a preset ratio between the number of additional other characters and the number of enemies, so that the client takes the preset ratio between the number of additional other characters and the number of enemies into consideration when rendering and displaying, thereby avoiding too many enemies and too few teammates on the display interface of the target object.

[0052] In a specific implementation, determining the object synchronization queue according to the object sorting queue includes: Determine the object sorting queue as the object synchronization queue; or According to the arrangement order of the multiple associated objects in the object sorting queue, the multiple associated objects in the object sorting queue are screened to obtain a screening result; An object synchronization queue is determined according to the screening result, wherein the number of the associated objects included in the object synchronization queue is less than the number of the associated objects included in the object sorting queue.

[0053] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present specification, the object sorting queue can be directly determined as the object synchronization queue. For example, when the number of associated objects included in the object sorting queue is less than a preset number threshold, the object sorting queue can be directly determined as the object synchronization queue. The preset number threshold can be determined based on the device performance information of the client of the target object. For example, the preset number threshold is 10, that is, the device performance of the client of the target object can support the simultaneous rendering and display of 10 associated objects on the display interface without freezing.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present specification, multiple associated objects in the object sorting queue may be screened according to the arrangement order of the multiple associated objects in the object sorting queue to obtain a screening result, and an object synchronization queue may be determined based on the screening result, so that the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue is less than a preset number threshold. For example, if the object sorting queue contains 50 associated objects, the first 10 associated objects in the object sorting queue may be added to the object synchronization queue according to the arrangement order of the 50 associated objects.

[0055] In summary, by screening according to the association weights, associated objects that are closely related to the target object are obtained for synchronization, the number of associated objects that need to be synchronized is reduced, and the CPU and memory burden of the client is further reduced.

[0056] In practical applications, the multiple associated objects of the target object are determined, including: Determining a plurality of associated objects of the target object according to a first time interval; The step of determining the object synchronization queue according to the object sorting queue includes: An object synchronization queue corresponding to a current time interval is determined according to the object sorting queue.

[0057] The first time interval may be determined according to the synchronization requirements of the target game, for example, 1 second, 5 seconds, etc.

[0058] Specifically, according to the first time interval, multiple associated objects of the target object in the current time interval may be determined (ie, an object synchronization list may be constructed), and according to the object sorting queue, an object synchronization queue corresponding to the current time interval may be determined.

[0059] For example, the first time interval can be 5 seconds. For example, every 5 seconds, 100 associated objects of the target object in the current time interval can be determined, and the association weight of each associated object can be calculated to obtain the object sorting queue, and based on the object sorting queue, the object synchronization queue within the current 5 seconds can be determined.

[0060] Further, the determining, according to the association relationship between the target object and the multiple associated objects, an association weight of each associated object in the multiple associated objects relative to the target object includes: dividing the first time interval into a plurality of second time intervals; At each second time interval, according to the association relationship between the target object and the plurality of associated objects, an association weight of each associated object relative to the target object is determined.

[0061] The first time interval is, for example, 5 seconds, and the second time interval may be 1 second, that is, the first time interval is divided into 5 second time intervals.

[0062] Based on this, the association weights of the multiple associated objects associated with the target object can be calculated respectively according to each second time interval, so as to obtain an object sorting queue. Specifically, the multiple associated objects associated with the target object can be divided to obtain multiple object groups, each of which includes one or more associated objects, and the association weights of the associated objects included in each object group are calculated at each second time interval. This realizes the construction of the object sorting queue and the object synchronization queue.

[0063] Using the above example, 100 associated objects can be divided into 4 object groups, each object group includes 25 associated objects. Then, within the first time interval of 5 seconds, 100 associated objects can be obtained in the first second, and in the second second (i.e., a second time interval), the association weights of the 25 associated objects included in the first object group can be calculated. In the third second, the association weights of the 25 associated objects included in the second object group can be calculated. In the fourth second, the association weights of the 25 associated objects included in the third object group can be calculated. In the fifth second, the association weights of the 25 associated objects included in the fourth object group can be calculated.

[0064] In addition, in the case where the target object moves too fast in the target game, it can be determined whether to rebuild the object synchronization list according to the distance difference between the target object and the associated object.

[0065] In summary, by splitting the synchronization list into different frame intervals (for example, 2-8 frames) and rebuilding it, the excessive load caused by the need to synchronously calculate the list of each player in each frame can be effectively reduced.

[0066] In practical applications, after determining the object synchronization queue corresponding to the current time interval according to the object sorting queue, the method further includes: When it is determined that any one of the multiple associated objects exists in the object synchronization queue of the previous time interval according to the synchronization status of the multiple associated objects in the object sorting queue, determining the association weight of the associated object relative to the target object; When it is determined that the association weight satisfies a preset removal condition, the associated object is added to an object clipping queue.

[0067] The preset removal condition may be understood as the associated weight being less than the preset weight threshold. The previous time interval may be understood as the previous time interval of the current time interval. The synchronization status of each associated object may be marked in the object synchronization list and / or the object sorting queue.

[0068] Based on this, it is possible to determine whether any of the multiple associated objects are already in the object synchronization queue of the previous time interval based on the synchronization status of the multiple associated objects marked in the object synchronization list and / or the object sorting queue. If so, it means that the associated object has been synchronized in the previous time interval. At this time, the association weight of the associated object relative to the target object can be determined. When it is determined that the association weight is less than the preset weight threshold, it is determined that the association weight meets the preset removal condition, and the associated object is added to the object pruning queue, so that the client of the subsequent target object can remove the associated object according to the object pruning queue.

[0069] Alternatively, the object synchronization queue of the current time interval can be adjusted directly according to the associated objects contained in the object clipping queue. Specifically, the associated objects contained in the object clipping queue can be removed from the object synchronization queue of the current time interval to obtain an adjusted object synchronization queue, and the adjusted object synchronization queue can be sent to the client of the target object.

[0070] In actual applications, after calculating the association weight of the associated object, the associated object will be placed in the corresponding bucket sorting queue (i.e., object sorting queue) according to the association weight, and the synchronization status of the associated object will be marked. The synchronization status may include: whether it is in the synchronization list, whether it has been synchronized to the client (frame synchronization), whether it has been synchronized before and is within the synchronization range (it will not be cleared during reconstruction, and additional weight will be added to avoid jitter), subscription synchronization (no matter how it is sorted, it will be added to the synchronization list), attacker flag (will be cleared during reconstruction), attacked flag (will be cleared during reconstruction) / , enemy flag (when there are attacker and attacked flags during reconstruction, this flag will be set until the next reconstruction is cleared to avoid jitter). If it is already in the synchronization queue, first add the player to the clipping queue (when the clipping queue reaches the client, the player / character will be directly removed, indicating that the player has left the field of view). Select from the highest priority of the bucket sorting queue downwards. If it has been synchronized, the clipping queue will be removed. For special subscription flags (such as subscription synchronization), it will be added to the synchronization queue by default without considering the weight relationship.

[0071] In summary, by determining whether an associated object has been synchronized according to the synchronization status of the associated object, the synchronized associated object can be removed, thereby further reducing the computing resource burden of the client of the target object.

[0072] Then, after adding the associated object to the object clipping queue, the method further includes: The object clipping queue is sent to the client of the target object, so that the client removes the associated object according to the object clipping queue.

[0073] Specifically, the object clipping queue may be sent to the client of the target object, so that the client of the target object removes the associated objects contained in the object clipping queue from the client's display interface according to the object clipping queue.

[0074] In one embodiment of this specification, the data processing method further includes: Determine device performance information of the client of the target object; Determining the number of the associated objects included in the object synchronization queue according to the device performance information; or In response to an instruction to adjust the number of clients of the target object, the number of the associated objects included in the object synchronization queue is determined.

[0075] Among them, the device performance information may include but is not limited to the client's CPU performance, GPU performance, memory capacity, storage capacity, operating system version information, etc.

[0076] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present specification, the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue can be determined according to the device performance information of the target object's client. It is understandable that the better the device performance of the target object's client, the more associated objects included in the object synchronization queue.

[0077] In another embodiment of the present specification, the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue can be adjusted according to the number adjustment instruction of the game player in the game setting interface of the client, and this embodiment of the present specification does not limit this.

[0078] In actual applications, the number of synchronizations depends on the basic configuration number of the current scene and the synchronization added value given by the machine performance of the player's mobile phone (this value may be positive or negative), and the player can adjust it at will in the settings.

[0079] In summary, by determining the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue according to device performance information or quantity adjustment instructions, a better object synchronization effect can be obtained based on the client's device performance information, and it can also support game player customization to meet the personalized needs of different game players.

[0080] In addition, the data processing method also includes: Determining a target number according to the number of the associated objects included in the object synchronization queue and the number of the associated objects included in the object sorting queue; The target quantity is sent to the client of the target object, so that the client randomly scatters points on the display interface according to the target quantity.

[0081] The target number can be understood as the difference between the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue and the number of associated objects included in the object sorting queue. For example, the object sorting queue includes 100 associated objects, which means that there are 100 associated objects near the target object that need to be synchronized. The object synchronization queue includes 20 associated objects, which means that only 20 associated objects are actually synchronized on the client side of the target object, that is, 80 associated objects will not be synchronized on the client side. Then, the target number is 80.

[0082] Specifically, the difference between the number of associated objects included in the object synchronization queue and the number of associated objects included in the object sorting queue can be calculated, and the difference can be used as the target number. The target number is sent to the client of the target object, and the client of the target object can randomly scatter points on the client's display interface according to the target number. For example, 80 points can be displayed in the form of points on the client's display interface, thereby displaying 80 associated objects that have not been synchronized.

[0083] In actual applications, in some places where there are a lot of group battles, the green / red dot synchronization solution of the small map is used to supplement the multi-person sense of players who are not synchronized (the green and red dots only need quantity, and the client uses a random scattering method to reduce the synchronization information).

[0084] To summarize, the above method calculates the association weight of each associated object relative to the target object among multiple associated objects according to the association relationship between the target object and multiple associated objects, and sorts the multiple associated objects according to the association weight to obtain an object sorting queue, determines the object synchronization queue according to the object sorting queue, and sends the object synchronization queue to the client of the target object, so that the client of the target object synchronizes the multiple associated objects according to the object synchronization queue, and screens the multiple associated objects of the target object without synchronizing all the associated objects of the target object. In addition, screening according to the association weight can ensure that the association relationship between the synchronized associated objects and the target object is relatively close, while ensuring the gaming experience of the game players, it can reduce the burden on the client's CPU and memory, avoid network congestion or delay, and make the game run stably.

Figure 2 A processing flow chart of an object synchronization method provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0086] Step 202: When it is determined that other players and NPC characters have entered the field of vision of the target player, the other players are added to the player synchronization list, and the NPC characters are added to the NPC synchronization list.

[0087] Step 204: Calculate association weights for NPC characters in the NPC synchronization list and other players in the player synchronization list.

[0088] Step 206: Add other players and NPC characters to the bucket sorting queue according to the associated weights.

[0089] Step 208: Screen other players and NPC characters according to their order of arrangement in the bucket sorting queue, add other players with higher association weights to the player synchronization queue, and add NPC characters with higher association weights to the NPC synchronization queue.

[0090] Step 210: According to a preset ratio between the number of additional other characters and the number of enemies, the player synchronization queue and the NPC synchronization queue are sent to the client of the target player, so that the client of the target player is synchronized according to the player synchronization queue and the NPC synchronization queue.
