[0025] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0026] In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0027] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0028] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of the game resource management method according to the embodiment of the present application; Figure 1 As shown, the game resource management method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:
[0029] S101, obtaining multiple resources to be managed.
[0030] As an embodiment, the resources to be managed may be 3D models, textures, and sound files in the game.
[0031] S102, recording the usage amount and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed among the multiple resources to be managed, so as to obtain the priority level among each resource to be managed according to the usage amount and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed.
[0032] As an embodiment, the usage and most recent usage time of each resource to be managed among multiple resources to be managed are recorded, including: during the game operation, if a resource to be managed is used, the corresponding usage is increased by 1, and the corresponding usage time is recorded; if a resource to be managed is no longer used, the corresponding usage is reduced by 1.
[0033] That is to say, if a resource to be managed is used by a client, the usage corresponding to the resource to be managed is increased by 1, and the corresponding usage time is recorded; if a resource to be managed is abandoned by a client, the corresponding usage is reduced by 1. The usage represents the usage status of the corresponding resource to be managed, that is, how many clients are currently using it.
[0034] As an embodiment, the priority level of each resource to be managed is calculated according to the following formula:
[0035]
[0036] Among them, P i Indicates the priority corresponding to the i-th resource to be managed; Q i represents the usage of the i-th resource to be managed; C t Indicates the current time; L t Indicates the last usage time of the i-th resource to be managed.
[0037] That is to say, the priority of each resource to be managed is calculated by the above formula. Whenever a resource needs to be loaded, it is sorted according to its priority, and resources with high priority are loaded first. In this way, frequently used resources and recently used resources can be loaded faster, effectively improving the game's running performance.
[0038] As an embodiment, after recording the usage and most recent usage time of each of the multiple resources to be managed, it also includes: during the game running, if the usage of a certain resource to be managed is 0, and it is judged based on the usage time that it has not been used for more than a first threshold time, then uninstalling the certain resource to be managed.
[0039] It should be noted that in many games, when resources are not used for a long time or memory space is insufficient, memory garbage collection (GC) will be triggered; GC will consume a lot of CPU resources, causing the game to freeze briefly; so if the usage of a resource to be managed is 0, it means that the resource to be managed is not currently in use, and when it has not been used for a certain period of time, the resource to be managed is uninstalled to reduce the freeze caused by memory garbage collection.
[0040] S103, when loading resources, multiple resources to be managed are loaded according to the priority level of each resource to be managed.
[0041] As an embodiment, when loading resources, multiple resources to be managed are loaded according to the priority level between each resource to be managed, including: pre-building a pre-loading model; obtaining historical player behavior data, and using the historical player behavior data to train the pre-loading model; using the trained pre-loading model to predict a resource demand at regular intervals, so as to load the corresponding resources in advance according to the priority level based on the resource demand.
[0042] In other words, based on the player's gaming behavior preferences, resources are loaded on demand in advance to improve game performance and further reduce the lag caused by memory garbage collection.
[0043] It should be noted that a prediction model is trained by collecting players' behavioral data; this model uses a prediction algorithm based on historical data, such as regression analysis or neural network; the prediction model generates a resource demand forecast at regular intervals, and then loads these resources in advance; during peak periods of resource usage, a large number of resource requests can be avoided by preloading, thereby reducing the frequency and impact of memory garbage collection.
[0044] To summarize, according to the game resource management method of the embodiment of the present application, first, multiple resources to be managed are obtained; then, the usage and the most recent usage time of each of the multiple resources to be managed are recorded, so as to obtain the priority level between each resource to be managed according to the usage and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed; finally, when loading resources, the multiple resources to be managed are loaded according to the priority level between each resource to be managed; thus, through the above-mentioned resource management and preloading, the use of memory is effectively controlled; especially during the peak period of resource demand, a large number of resource loading requests can be avoided, further reducing the impact of memory garbage collection, and effectively improving the player's gaming experience.

[0046] Among them, the acquisition module 10 acquires multiple resources to be managed; the recording module 20 records the usage and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed in the multiple resources to be managed, so as to obtain the priority level between each resource to be managed according to the usage and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed; the loading module 30 loads multiple resources to be managed according to the priority level between each resource to be managed when loading resources.
[0047] As an embodiment, the recording module 10 is also used for, during the game operation, if a certain resource to be managed is used, the corresponding usage amount is increased by 1, and the corresponding usage time is recorded; if a certain resource to be managed is no longer used, the corresponding usage amount is reduced by 1.
[0048] As an embodiment, the priority level of each resource to be managed is calculated according to the following formula:
[0049]
[0050] Among them, P i Indicates the priority corresponding to the i-th resource to be managed; Q i represents the usage of the i-th resource to be managed; C t Indicates the current time; L t Indicates the last usage time of the i-th resource to be managed.
[0051] As an embodiment, after recording the usage and most recent usage time of each of the multiple resources to be managed, it also includes: during the game running, if the usage of a certain resource to be managed is 0, and it is judged based on the usage time that it has not been used for more than a first threshold time, then uninstall the certain resource to be managed.
[0052] As an embodiment, the loading module 30 is also used to pre-build a preloading model; obtain historical player behavior data, and use the historical player behavior data to train the preloading model; use the trained preloading model to predict a resource demand at regular intervals, so as to load the corresponding resources in advance according to the priority level based on the resource demand.
[0053] It should be noted that the above explanations of the embodiment of the game resource management method are also applicable to the game resource management device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0054] In summary, according to the game resource management device of the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of resources to be managed are acquired through an acquisition module; a recording module records the usage and the most recent usage time of each of the plurality of resources to be managed, so as to obtain the priority level between each resource to be managed according to the usage and the most recent usage time of each resource to be managed; when loading resources, the loading module loads the plurality of resources to be managed according to the priority level between each resource to be managed; thus, the game memory is managed through reference counting and time priority algorithm, thereby effectively improving the running performance of the game.
