[0033] In the present application, a method, apparatus and system, computing device and computer-readable storage medium for supporting massively multiplayer online games are provided, which will be described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 The structure block diagram of a computing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The components of the computing device 100 include but are not limited to a memory 110 and a processor 120. The processor 120 is connected to the memory 110 via a bus 130, and the database 150 is used to store data.

[0035] The computing device 100 also includes an access device 140 that enables the computing device 100 to communicate via one or more networks 160. Examples of these networks include a public switched telephone network (PSTN), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a personal area network (PAN), or a combination of communication networks such as the Internet. The access device 140 may include one or more of any type of network interface (e.g., a network interface card (NIC)) whether wired or wireless, such as an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) wireless interface, a World Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wi-MAX) interface, an Ethernet interface, a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a cellular network interface, a Bluetooth interface, a near field communication (NFC) interface, and the like.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present application, the above components of the computing device 100 and Figure 1 Other components not shown in the figure may also be connected to each other, for example, via a bus. It should be understood that Figure 1 The computing device structure block diagram shown is only for the purpose of illustration, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art may add or replace other components as needed.

[0037] The computing device 100 may be any type of stationary or mobile computing device, including a mobile computer or mobile computing device (e.g., a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook, etc.), a mobile phone (e.g., a smart phone), a wearable computing device (e.g., a smart watch, smart glasses, etc.), or other types of mobile devices, or a stationary computing device such as a desktop computer or PC. The computing device 100 may also be a mobile or stationary server.

[0038] In the prior art, when content creators (such as live broadcasters) broadcast game content live on online platforms, viewers can usually only passively watch the game operations performed by the creators on their personal terminal devices. The interaction between creators and viewers is limited to the limited functions provided by the live broadcast platform, such as text chat or virtual item gifts. This technical solution has the following technical problems: it is impossible to achieve deep integration of creators, viewers and game content; the interaction mode is single and lacks diversity; it is difficult to effectively convert viewers into direct participants of the game. These technical problems lead to consequences such as limited user experience and low conversion rate of potential game users. Therefore, an improved technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0039] The present application provides a flowchart of a method for matching a specific game object, such as Figure 2 As shown, steps 202 to 206 are included.

[0040] Step 202: guiding the user to enter a target game scene, where the target game scene includes at least one specific game object.

[0041] In this step, the user enters the target game scene of the live broadcast game according to the live broadcast content of the anchor, such as entering the target game scene by clicking the game APP icon. The target game scene can be a designated game task scene, such as a game room, which is not particularly limited here. The target game scene includes at least one specific game object, wherein the specific game object is one or more anchor's game accounts.

[0042] Preferably, after the live broadcast host broadcasts the game live through the live broadcast platform, a link is dynamically generated on the live broadcast platform interface, and the link is associated with the game that the host is currently broadcasting live. The link can be in the form of a text hyperlink, a graphic button, or a QR code. Through the link, the user can directly enter the target game scene.

[0043] Step 204: Add the user to the first priority queue, match the user node and the specific game object node in the first priority queue according to the user's description information, and the successfully matched user and specific game object enter the same game round.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, after the user enters the target game scene, he starts waiting for the matching result with the specific game object, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0045] In response to the user entering the target game scene, the server creates an instance of the first priority queue, and adds the user description information of each user who continues to enter the queue state as a node to the first priority queue in sequence. Specifically, when adding the node to the first priority queue, it can be added to the tail of the queue in accordance with the first-in-first-out (FIFO) principle.

[0046] Among them, the user description information includes the user identification and matching feature information; the matching feature information includes the number of times the user has participated in matching anchor activities but failed to match successfully, the user's waiting time, the total number of times the user has participated in matching activities, etc. The above matching feature information can be obtained by the server based on the user's user identification.

[0047] Furthermore, the order of users in the first priority queue is adjusted according to the matching feature information of all user nodes in the first priority queue.

[0048] In a feasible implementation, the server reorders the first priority queue according to the matching feature information of the user node under specific conditions, wherein the specific conditions include but are not limited to a preset time interval or a change length of the queue.

[0049] Optionally, every n minutes, or every time the length of the team increases by m people, the user nodes that have not been successfully matched for multiple times are placed at the top of the first priority queue according to the number of times they have participated in the matching anchor activity but failed to match successfully or according to the number of times they have participated in the matching activity.

[0050] In another feasible implementation, when the server reorders the first priority queue according to the matching feature information of the user node under certain conditions, the server calculates the queue priority score according to the matching feature information and puts the user with a high queue priority at the top of the first priority queue. Specifically, the priority score of each user is calculated according to a preset algorithm. Considering multiple factors, the priority calculation method can be schematically represented as follows:

[0051] Priority score = W1*waiting time+W2*number of matches participated+W3*number of failed matches+...

[0052] Among them, W1, W2, and W3 are the weights of each factor, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0053] Furthermore, when the matching time expires, a preset number of users are taken from the head of the first priority queue to be matched with a specific game object and enter the same game round in the target game scene. Preferably, the users in the first priority queue are associated with the description information of the specific game object, so as to display the game flow and status switching screen after the successful matching to the successfully matched users.

[0054] Step 206: The unmatched users in the first priority queue are sent to the second queue, and the users in the second queue start playing the game after being matched with each other.

[0055] In this step, when some users in the first priority queue are successfully matched with a specific game object, the remaining user nodes in the first priority queue are sent to the common second queue; and then the user nodes in the second queue are matched with each other and start the game in different game rounds in the target game scene. Furthermore, the first priority queue is cleared and the matching feature information of all users is updated.

[0056] Optionally, the second queue is deployed in a process different from the first priority queue on the server; the first priority queue sends user nodes that have not been successfully matched to a specific game object to the second queue through an RPC remote call.

[0057] Preferably, after the matching activity is started, in order to alleviate the problem of excessive server pressure caused by a large number of users entering the first priority queue at the same time in a short period of time, in an embodiment of the present application, the server reorders the first priority queue under specific conditions and sends the user nodes with lower rankings in the first priority queue to the second queue.

[0058] Optionally, every n minutes, or every time the length of the queue increases by m people, the users are sorted according to the number of times they have participated in the matching anchor activity but failed to match successfully or according to the number of times they have participated in the matching activity. After the users who have failed to match successfully for many times are placed at the top of the first priority queue, the users who are ranked lower in the first priority queue at this time, such as the last half of the user nodes, are sent to the second queue via RPC.

[0059] Therefore, when the matching time expires, the user nodes in the second queue are randomly matched and enter multiple game sessions in the target game scene to play the game.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for integrating anchors, users, and games being broadcast is provided, which increases the fun of the live broadcast and achieves a high conversion rate. In this method, in order to solve the various server pressures caused by the sudden influx of a large number of users and the poor matching experience of users, a dedicated priority queue is separately deployed and operated on the server side for matching anchors. When the user chooses to enter the matching state, the user is added to the priority queue, and the priority queue is sorted according to the user's matching feature information under specific conditions. Users who meet the matching conditions are moved to the top of the priority queue, and users who do not meet the matching conditions are sent to another ordinary queue in a timely manner. This not only effectively alleviates the server pressure and realizes the reasonable allocation and optimization of resources, but also greatly improves user satisfaction and matching experience.
