[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0022] In today's rapidly evolving gaming market, players have increasingly higher expectations for game content. Face-snap events, as a crucial element of game-player interaction, not only enhance player immersion and engagement but also effectively drive in-game events and promotions, thereby enriching the game's content. However, traditional update methods often have limitations, such as requiring frequent client restarts, downloading large patch files, and experiencing content delays. This not only impacts the player experience but may also lead to player churn.

[0023] The current process for updating in-game face-snap images involves several steps. First, product developers need to configure the face-snap image data to be displayed and the relevant data for the linked event. Second, the configured event data needs to be updated to the game server. Third, the updated content is officially released as a game patch and made available to players. Then, when players open the game, the client's update logic is triggered, requiring a device restart. Finally, when players log back into the game, they will see the latest face-snap images and corresponding event data. However, this method requires players to restart the game client to load new content, preventing them from continuing the game during the update process and impacting user experience. Games typically require patches to update event content, which not only consumes player storage space but also increases download time, resulting in a poor experience. In the traditional model, any update requires programmer intervention, increasing the update cycle and manpower costs. Due to limited update frequency, players may experience delays in event recommendations, failing to obtain the latest event information and resources in a timely manner. In summary, traditional face-capture update schemes suffer from low efficiency, poor flexibility, and unsatisfactory user experience. Therefore, this disclosure provides a game update display method, apparatus, and electronic device, which can be applied to devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and servers.

[0024] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game update display method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game update display method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0025] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of game updates and display methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0026] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0027] In one possible implementation, this invention provides a method for updating and displaying a game. This method is applied to a game client, which runs on a terminal device. The terminal device provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays the game screen. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device within the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S102: In response to the game screen displayed on the graphical user interface switching to the specified game screen, pop-up data is obtained from the game server; wherein, the pop-up data is obtained through the game server, in response to the configuration operation of the configuration page about pop-up data provided by the game server, the configuration parameters of the pop-up data are determined, in response to the confirmation operation of the configuration page, and updated based on the configuration parameters.

[0029] The aforementioned designated game screens can be pre-set according to game needs, such as the main game interface, the game store interface, and designated game task interfaces. Different designated game screens correspond to different pop-up window data. This pop-up window data is typically a screenshot of the game screen, used to display updated game content to players, such as updated event content and updated gameplay.

[0030] The game server's online data management platform provides a configuration page for pop-up data. This page allows developers to configure pop-up data parameters, and clicking the confirmation button generates the pop-up data. Developers can configure and manage various pop-up data within the game through a user-friendly interface. They can add, edit, and delete any pop-up data as needed and view the currently configured pop-up data in real time.

[0031] The configuration parameters typically include the pop-up name, pop-up configuration type, recommended pop-up location, user-related restrictions, pop-up opening time, pop-up display method information, pop-up type, and jump information. The configuration type includes first-party and third-party configurations. The recommended location corresponds to the specified game screen, meaning the pop-up data is displayed in the recommended position. User-related restrictions mean that only games for users who meet these restrictions will display the pop-up data. The opening time indicates that the pop-up data will only be displayed during the specified opening hours. Display method information is usually for image display, including the specific image and its size; it can also be for text display, including the specific text content, font size, font color, and whether it's static or dynamic; or it can be for video display, including the specific content, video resolution, and video size. The pop-up type usually indicates the pop-up size. The challenge information typically includes jump type and jump parameters. Different jump types have multiple different jump parameters, which indicate the specific jump content, i.e., the updated game content.

[0032] Step S104: Determine the target pop-up data that meets the specified conditions from the pop-up data, and display the target pop-up data on the specified game screen.

[0033] The aforementioned target pop-up data can be one or more, and the pop-up data must include at least one of the following: pop-up opening time, pop-up configuration type, user-related restrictions, and pop-up frequency; when the pop-up data includes user-related restrictions, the user-related restrictions must include at least one of the following: the last digit range of the user's unique identifier, the user's online time, the user's level range, and the user's registration time.

[0034] The specified conditions mentioned above must include at least one of the following: the current time is within the pop-up's open time; the game configuration type corresponding to the specified game screen is consistent with the pop-up's configuration type; the game user's information corresponding to the game client meets the user's relevant restrictions; and the historical pop-up frequency of the pop-up data has not reached the required pop-up frequency. The pop-up frequency can be once a day, once a week, or once per login, etc.

[0035] Optionally, for each pop-up data, if the current time is within the pop-up's open time in the pop-up data, the game configuration type corresponding to the specified game screen is consistent with the pop-up's configuration type in the pop-up data, the game user's relevant information corresponding to the game client meets the relevant restrictions in the pop-up data, and the historical pop-up frequency of the pop-up data does not reach the pop-up frequency, then the pop-up data is determined as the target pop-up data and displayed on the specified game screen.

[0036] Specifically, the relevant information of the game user corresponding to the game client must meet the user-related restrictions in the pop-up data, including at least the following: the user's unique identifier is within the last digit range of the user's unique identifier in the pop-up data; the online time of the game user corresponding to the game client meets the user's online time in the pop-up data; the level range of the game user corresponding to the game client meets the user's level range in the pop-up data; and the registration time of the game user corresponding to the game client meets the user's registration time in the pop-up data. For example, the online time of the game user corresponding to the game client is greater than the user's online time in the pop-up data; the level range of the game user corresponding to the game client is within the user's level range in the pop-up data; and the registration time of the game user corresponding to the game client is before the user's registration time in the pop-up data.

[0037] The historical pop-up frequency of the aforementioned pop-up data has not reached the required pop-up frequency. The historical pop-up frequency refers to the historical pop-up frequency of in-game pop-up data provided by the game client. If the pop-up frequency is once a day, and the pop-up data has already been displayed once in the game screen of the corresponding user, then the historical pop-up frequency of the pop-up data is considered to have reached the required pop-up frequency. If the pop-up frequency is once a week, and the pop-up data has already been displayed once in the game screen of the corresponding user, then the historical pop-up frequency of the pop-up data is considered to have reached the required pop-up frequency. If the pop-up frequency is once per login, and the pop-up data has already been displayed once in the game screen of the currently logged-in user, then the historical pop-up frequency of the pop-up data is considered to have reached the required pop-up frequency.

[0038] In response to the game screen switching to a specified game screen displayed on the graphical user interface, pop-up data is retrieved from the game server. This pop-up data is obtained by responding to configuration operations on the configuration page provided by the game server regarding pop-up data, determining the configuration parameters of the pop-up data, responding to confirmation operations on the configuration page, and updating based on the configuration parameters. Target pop-up data that meets specified conditions is identified from the pop-up data and displayed on the specified game screen. In this method, updated game content is pre-configured online on the game server via a configuration page. The latest game updates can be retrieved and displayed promptly during game runtime, without requiring a client restart for loading and displaying, and without needing to download patches in advance, thus avoiding the occupation of player storage space and improving game efficiency and user experience.

[0039] The aforementioned pop-up data also includes pop-up images; one possible implementation of the step of displaying the target pop-up data on a specified game screen is to display the pop-up image corresponding to the target pop-up data on the specified game screen.

[0040] Pop-up data typically includes the image address of the pop-up image. The pop-up image is obtained based on the image address, and the pop-up image corresponding to the target pop-up data is displayed on the specified game screen.

[0041] The pop-up data also includes pop-up type, which indicates the size of the pop-up image.

[0042] For example, if the pop-up type is A, a full-screen pop-up will be displayed; if the pop-up type is B, a pop-up covering 75% of the screen area will be displayed; and if the pop-up type is C, a pop-up covering 50% of the screen area will be displayed, and so on.

[0043] The pop-up data also includes redirection information; the method also includes: responding to a trigger operation on the target pop-up data, determining the activity-related data corresponding to the target pop-up data based on the redirection information; and switching the displayed target pop-up data to the activity-related data corresponding to the target pop-up data.

[0044] In other words, when a player clicks on the target pop-up data, the displayed target pop-up data will be switched to the activity-related data corresponding to the target pop-up data. The activity-related data is updated game content, such as new game events, new game tasks, new game maps, etc.

[0045] The aforementioned target pop-up data includes multiple types; the aforementioned method further includes: in response to the cancellation of the display of the first pop-up data in the target pop-up data, displaying the second pop-up data in the target pop-up data.

[0046] Typically, a cancel control is displayed within the target pop-up data. After the player clicks the cancel control on the first displayed target pop-up data (i.e., the first pop-up data mentioned above), the second target pop-up data (i.e., the second pop-up data mentioned above) will then be displayed. This continues until all target pop-up data has been displayed.

[0047] In the above method, the configuration page provided by the game server allows game developers to configure and manage various face-tapping data in the game through a user-friendly interface. Developers can add, edit, and delete any face-tapping data as needed, and view the currently configured face-tapping data in real time. The pop-up data can be updated in real time, improving development efficiency and player gaming experience.

[0048] This disclosure provides another method for updating and displaying a game, which is applied to a game server, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] Step S202: Respond to the configuration command for the configuration page and determine the configuration parameters of the pop-up data; wherein, the configuration page is provided through the terminal device corresponding to the game server;

[0050] Optionally, a configuration page can be provided through an online H5 tool, allowing developers to perform configuration operations, such as updating, adding, or deleting pop-up data. The aforementioned configuration commands can be used to update or add pop-up data.

[0051] The above configuration parameters include at least one of the following: pop-up name, pop-up configuration type, recommended pop-up location, user-related restrictions, pop-up opening time, pop-up display method information, pop-up type, and jump information. The configuration type includes first-party and third-party configurations. The recommended location corresponds to the specified game screen, meaning the pop-up data is displayed in the recommended position. User-related restrictions mean that only games for users who meet these restrictions will display the pop-up data. Opening time means that the pop-up data will only be displayed during the specified opening time. Display method information is usually an image display method, including the specific image and its size; it can also be a text display method, including the specific text content, font size, font color, and whether it's static or dynamic; or it can be a video display method, including the specific content, video resolution, and video size. The pop-up type usually indicates the pop-up size. The jump information usually includes the jump type and jump parameters. Different jump types have multiple different jump parameters, which indicate the specific jump content, i.e., the updated game content.

[0052] See Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates the configuration page. Developers can configure the pop-up name as XXX, the configuration type as first-party configuration, the recommended location as the homepage (i.e., the game's main interface), and the target audience as the last digit range of the user's unique identifier in the relevant user restrictions. The pop-up's open time includes the start and end times, the promotion format, and specific images and addresses (i.e., the information related to the pop-up's display method). The pop-up type is A, the redirect type is limited-time event, and the redirect parameters are YYY.

[0053] Step S204: Respond to the confirmation command for the configuration page and update the pop-up data based on the configuration parameters;

[0054] Clicking the confirmation control on the configuration page updates the pop-up data based on the configuration parameters. Updating the pop-up data can involve adding, deleting, or editing pop-up data. If new pop-up data is edited on the configuration page, new pop-up data is generated based on the configuration parameters; if existing pop-up data is deleted on the configuration page, the deleted pop-up data is updated accordingly; if existing pop-up data is edited on the configuration page, the updated pop-up data is updated based on the edited configuration parameters.

[0055] After configuration, simply click "Confirm Publish" on the configuration page to synchronize and update the server-side data; no client patch is required. After the server-side data update, players do not need to update their client devices. When players return to the game's main interface, they will see the configured face-slapping pop-up.

[0056] Step S206: In response to the switching command for the specified game screen from the game client, the updated pop-up data is sent to the game client so that the game client can determine the target pop-up data that meets the specified conditions from the updated pop-up data and display the target pop-up data on the specified game screen.

[0057] In this embodiment, in response to a configuration command on the configuration page, the configuration parameters of the pop-up data are determined; wherein, the configuration page is provided through the terminal device corresponding to the game server; in response to a confirmation command on the configuration page, the pop-up data is updated based on the configuration parameters; in response to a switching command from the game client for a specified game screen, the updated pop-up data is sent to the game client, so that the game client can determine the target pop-up data that meets the specified conditions from the updated pop-up data and display the target pop-up data on the specified game screen. In this method, the updated game content is pre-configured online on the game server through the configuration page, and the latest game update content can be obtained and displayed in a timely manner during game runtime, without the need to restart the client for loading and display, and without the need to download patches in advance, thus avoiding the occupation of the player's storage space, thereby improving game efficiency and game experience.

[0058] The above configuration parameters include the pop-up's open time; after responding to the confirmation operation on the configuration page and updating the pop-up data based on the configuration parameters, the above method also includes: deleting pop-up data whose current time is not within the pop-up's open time.

[0059] Optionally, the game server will pre-screen all pop-up data and delete pop-up data that is not currently in the pop-up's open time.

[0060] The above method provides a visual online configuration platform, reducing human development costs; it can load the latest game face image data without requiring players to update their client devices, increasing the exposure of game activities and thus improving the game's economic benefits.

[0061] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this disclosure provides a game update display device. This device is installed on a game client, which runs on a terminal device. The terminal device provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays game graphics, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0062] The pop-up data acquisition module 401 is used to acquire pop-up data from the game server in response to the switching of the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface to a specified game screen. Specifically, the pop-up data is obtained from the game server by responding to configuration operations on the configuration page provided by the game server regarding pop-up data, determining the configuration parameters of the pop-up data, responding to confirmation operations on the configuration page, and updating the data based on the configuration parameters.

[0063] The target pop-up data display module 402 is used to determine the target pop-up data that meets the specified conditions from the pop-up data and display the target pop-up data on the specified game screen.

[0064] In this method, game content updates are pre-configured online on the game server via a configuration page. The latest game updates can be obtained and displayed in a timely manner during game runtime without restarting the client for loading and displaying. This eliminates the need to download patches in advance, thus avoiding the occupation of players' storage space and improving game efficiency and gaming experience.

[0065] The pop-up data mentioned above shall include at least one of the following: pop-up opening time, pop-up configuration type, user-related restrictions, and pop-up frequency; when the pop-up data includes user-related restrictions, the user-related restrictions shall include at least one of the following: the last digit range of the user's unique identifier, the user's online time, and the user's level range.
