[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This solution integrates the Web Server in the client, so that the terminal where the client is located can be regarded as a local micro server. By sending a Web game download request to the server, it receives the Web game package issued by the server (the Web game package is developed based on the Cocos engine and exported to the Web format); then the downloaded Web game package is verified and decompressed, and then the Web game is loaded and displayed through the Web Server driver. By using the Cocos engine to develop games and exporting them to the Web format, they can be run on various Android devices, including older versions of devices. The client downloads, verifies and decompresses the Web game from the server to ensure that the new game content can be loaded and run smoothly on all Web-enabled devices. This method greatly improves the compatibility of the game and is not limited by Android version differences. In addition, by developing the game in the Web format and loading it through the Web Server driver, it allows for immediate adjustments and repairs when problems occur in the game content.

This method makes game updates and maintenance more flexible, reduces dependence on new version releases, reduces maintenance costs, and can quickly respond to user feedback and optimize.

[0018] 2. The Web Server integrated in the client includes the configured listening port and root directory. The Web game is deployed in the root directory of the Web Server. The Web Server listens to the HTTP request from the WebView in the client through the listening port. The Web Server parses the received HTTP request and searches for the corresponding Web game resources in the root directory to generate an HTTP response and return it to the WebView. The WebView receives the HTTP response returned by the Web Server, parses the Web game resources in the HTTP response, and then updates the interface and status of the Web game according to the Web game resources. In this way, the client can collect the user's operation information, and continuously send HTTP requests through WebView to continuously update the status and interface of the Web game, and realize the operation of the Web game in the chat room. The interaction between the Web Server and the client is realized through the interactive transmission of data between JavascriptInterface and HTML: by defining a class of JavascriptInterface interface and annotating it to be callable by JavaScript; binding the defined JavascriptInterface object to the WebView instance; calling the native method of Android by specifying the name (the name specified in the addJavascriptInterface method) in HTML / JavaScript, calling the JavaScript function through the evaluateJavascript method of WebView, and realizing the two-way communication between JavascriptInterface and HTML. In this way, the interaction between the Web Server and the local can be realized reliably, ensuring the smooth operation of the Web game.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0025] In order to avoid the drawbacks of using native Android technology to develop interactive mini-games, this embodiment adopts the development form of Web games to develop games in chat rooms (chat rooms in social software). By integrating the Web Server in the client (parameters such as the listening port and root directory need to be configured, the listening port is used to listen to HTTP requests from the client, and the root directory is used to store game resources of the Web game), the terminal where the client is located can be regarded as a local micro server, and the Cocos engine is used to develop room interactive mini-games, and the games are exported to Web game packages in Web format (such as HTML5) and stored in the server (as the functions of the mini-games are enriched, more and more mini-games will be developed, and the server can form a game list based on the deployed Web game packages) for the client to download.

[0026] In this embodiment, for integrating the Web Server in the client, it is necessary not only to configure the parameters such as the listening port and the root directory, but also to configure the data interaction between the Web Server and the client to ensure that the operation of the Web game is driven by the Web Server. In this embodiment, the interaction between the Web Server and the client is realized by exchanging data through the JavascriptInterface and HTML.

[0027] Specifically, you can define a class of JavascriptInterface interface and annotate it to be callable by JavaScript (@JavascriptInterface annotation, declares that this method can be called by JavaScript). Then, bind the defined JavascriptInterface object to the WebView instance, call Android's native method by specifying the name in HTML / JavaScript, and call the JavaScript function through WebView's evaluateJavascript method to achieve two-way communication between JavascriptInterface and HTML. Here, the specified name is the name specified in the addJavascriptInterface method (addJavascriptInterface is a method of the WebView class, used to bind Java objects to the JavaScript environment of WebView).

[0028] After completing the development of the Web game and the deployment of the Web Server on the client, the following will take the client as the execution body to introduce in detail the method of loading games in the chat room based on Android.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for loading a game in a chat room based on Android provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the method for loading a game in a chat room based on Android may include steps S10, S20, S30, and S40.

[0030] First, after the user enters the chat room, the chat room has a mini-game function, and the user can play such mini-games through the client. Accordingly, the client can execute step S10.

[0031] Step S10: Send a Web game download request to the server.

[0032] In this embodiment, the client can generate a Web game download request based on the user's operation and send it to the server.

[0033] Specifically, the client can generate a Web game list display request based on a user operation (such as clicking on a mini-game function) and send it to the server. After receiving the Web game list display request, the server can send Web game list data and display the Web game list through the client. The user can select the Web game he wants to play, and the client can generate a Web game download request based on the user's selection and send it to the server.

[0034] After receiving the Web game download request, the server can send the corresponding Web game package. At this time, the client can execute step S20.

[0035] Step S20: receiving a Web game package sent by the server, wherein the Web game package is developed based on the Cocos engine and exported to a Web format.

[0036] In this embodiment, the client can receive the Web game package sent by the server. The Web game package is developed based on the Cocos engine and exported to a Web format (such as HTML5) and stored in the server. The server can send the corresponding Web game package to the client based on the Web game download request sent by the client. Accordingly, the client can receive the Web game package sent by the server.

[0037] After downloading the Web game package sent by the server, the client can execute step S30.

[0038] Step S30: Verify and decompress the downloaded Web game package.

[0039] In this embodiment, the client can perform integrity check on the Web game package after the Web game package is downloaded. After the Web game package passes the integrity check, the client can decompress the Web game package.

[0040] After decompressing the Web game package, the client may execute step S40.

[0041] Step S40: Load and display the Web game through the Web Server driver.

[0042] In this embodiment, the client can deploy the decompressed Web game to the root directory of the Web Server, and the Web Server can monitor HTTP requests from the WebView in the client through the monitoring port (for example, HTTP requests to load the Web game entry page, or corresponding HTTP requests generated based on the user's game operations).

[0043] The Web Server can parse the received HTTP request and search for the corresponding Web game resources from the root directory to generate an HTTP response and return it to the WebView.

[0044] After WebView receives the HTTP response returned by the Web Server, it can parse it to obtain the Web game resources in the HTTP response, and then update the interface and status of the Web game based on the Web game resources.

[0045] WebView continuously sends HTTP, and the Web Server continuously responds and returns the corresponding Web game resources, thereby continuously updating the interface and status of the Web game and realizing the operation of the Web game.

[0046] This solution integrates the Web Server in the client, so that the terminal where the client is located can be regarded as a local micro server. By sending a Web game download request to the server, it receives the Web game package sent by the server (the Web game package is developed based on the Cocos engine and exported to the Web format); then the downloaded Web game package is verified and decompressed, and then the Web game is loaded and displayed through the Web Server driver. By using the Cocos engine to develop games and exporting them to the Web format, they can be run on various Android devices, including older versions of devices. The client downloads, verifies and decompresses the Web game from the server to ensure that the new game content can be loaded and run smoothly on all Web-enabled devices. This method greatly improves the compatibility of the game and is not limited by Android version differences. In addition, by developing the game in the Web format and loading it through the Web Server driver, it allows for immediate adjustments and repairs when problems occur in the game content. The client downloads the latest Web game content without releasing a new version of the application. This method makes game updates and maintenance more flexible, reduces dependence on new version releases, reduces maintenance costs, and can quickly respond to user feedback and optimize.

[0047] The Web Server integrated in the client includes the configured listening port and root directory. The Web game is deployed in the root directory of the WebServer. The Web Server listens to the HTTP request from the WebView in the client through the listening port. The WebServer parses the received HTTP request and searches for the corresponding Web game resources in the root directory to generate an HTTP response and return it to the WebView. The WebView receives the HTTP response returned by the Web Server, parses the Web game resources in the HTTP response, and then updates the interface and status of the Web game according to the Web game resources. In this way, the client can collect the user's operation information, and continuously send HTTP requests through the WebView to continuously update the status and interface of the Web game, and realize the operation of the Web game in the chat room.

[0048] The interaction between the Web Server and the client is achieved through the interactive data transmission between JavascriptInterface and HTML: by defining a JavascriptInterface class and annotating it to be callable by JavaScript; binding the defined JavascriptInterface object to the WebView instance; calling the Android native method by specifying the name (the name specified in the addJavascriptInterface method) in HTML / JavaScript, calling the JavaScript function through the evaluateJavascript method of WebView, and realizing the two-way communication between JavascriptInterface and HTML. In this way, the interaction between the Web Server and the local can be reliably realized, ensuring the smooth operation of the Web game.

[0052] The verification and decompression unit 13 is used to verify and decompress the downloaded Web game package.

[0053] The game driving unit 14 is used to load and display the Web game through the Web Server driver.

[0054] In this embodiment, the game request unit 11 is specifically used to: generate a Web game list display request based on user operations and send it to the server; display the Web game list returned by the server; generate a Web game download request based on user selection and send it to the server.

[0055] In this embodiment, the Web Server integrated in the client includes a configured listening port and root directory, and the game driving unit 14 is specifically used to: deploy the Web game to the root directory of the Web Server; the Web Server listens to the HTTP request from the WebView in the client through the listening port; the Web Server parses the received HTTP request and searches for the corresponding Web game resources from the root directory to generate an HTTP response and return it to the WebView; the WebView receives the HTTP response returned by the WebServer, parses the Web game resources in the HTTP response, and then updates the interface and status of the Web game according to the Web game resources.

[0056] The present embodiment provides a storage medium, which is disposed in an electronic device and includes a stored program. When the program is running, the electronic device where the storage medium is located is controlled to execute the chat room game loading method based on Android of the present embodiment.

[0057] In addition, this embodiment also provides an electronic device (i.e., a terminal with a client installed, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.), including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is used to store information including program instructions, and the processor is used to control the execution of the program instructions.
