On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0031] It should be understood herein that any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction rather than having any limiting meaning.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0033] The principle and spirit of the present disclosure are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] As described in the background art, electronic games usually require real-time interaction and synchronization between a server and multiple clients to ensure the smoothness and fairness of the game.

[0035] However, when a client experiences a network failure, that client will be forced to be at a disadvantage or even cause the game to fail.

[0036] In the related art, when a network failure occurs on a client, the client is usually continuously attempted to reconnect through disconnection and reconnection technology. However, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that disconnection and reconnection cannot change the situation in which the client is forced to be at a disadvantage or even cause the game to fail, and the fairness of the game cannot be guaranteed, which brings a bad experience to the users of the client.

[0037] Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, in the related art, the entire game is usually paused until the network failure of the client where the network failure occurred is resolved, and then the entire game is resumed. However, the inventor of the present disclosure found that this method brings a bad experience to all users of the entire game.

[0038] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides an asynchronous interaction solution in electronic games, which specifically includes: step S1: in response to determining that a network failure exists in a first client, controlling a second client in the same game match with the first client to pause the game, and controlling the first client to play the game locally; step S2: in response to determining that the duration of the first client playing the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, controlling the first client to pause the game, and obtaining first game data from the first client; step S3: transmitting the first game data to the second client, and controlling the second client to play the game based on the first game data.

[0039] The present disclosure avoids the situation in which a client that is experiencing a network failure is forced to be at a disadvantage or even causes the game to fail through asynchronous interaction, thereby achieving the continuity of the game in the event of a network failure, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the fairness of the game.

[0040] After introducing the basic principles of the present disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the asynchronous interaction method in an electronic game provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] This application scenario includes a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102 and a server 103. The first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102 and the server 103 can be connected via a wired or wireless communication network to achieve data interaction.

[0043] The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 may be electronic devices with data transmission and multimedia input / output functions close to the user side, including but not limited to desktop computers, mobile phones, mobile computers, tablet computers, media players, smart wearable devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or other electronic devices capable of implementing the above functions. The electronic device may include a processor and a display screen with a touch input function, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface may display an application interface, and the processor is used to process application data, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0044] Server 103 can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game may be executed on the first terminal device 101 , the second terminal device 102 , and the server 103 .

[0046] The first terminal device 101 is installed with a first client communicating with the server 103, and the second terminal device 102 is installed with a second client communicating with the server 103. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 store game programs and are used to present game screens. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 are used to interact with players through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally download and install game programs through electronic devices and run them. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0047] In response to determining that a network failure exists in the first client, the server 103 controls a second client in the same game match as the first client to pause the game, and controls the first client to play the game locally; in response to determining that a duration for which the first client plays the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, the server 103 controls the first client to pause the game, and obtains first game data from the first client; transmits the first game data to the second client, and controls the second client to play the game based on the first game data.

[0048] The asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to symmetrical competitive game scenarios, such as racing games. Racing games are a type of electronic game with the theme of speed competition. Players usually control vehicles (such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.) or other means of transportation to compete with other players on various tracks, with the goal of reaching the finish line first. It can also be applied to asymmetrical competitive game scenarios. For example, in an asymmetrical competitive game, there are a chased party and a chaser party. The goal of the chaser party is to capture the chased party, while the goal of the chased party is to decode and escape.

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1 The asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is described by using the application scenario. It should be noted that the above application scenario is only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principle of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of an asynchronous interaction method in an electronic game provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] The asynchronous interaction method in the video game comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: In response to determining that a network failure occurs on a first client, a second client in the same game match as the first client is controlled to pause the game, and the first client is controlled to play the game locally.

[0053] Below, the method for determining the first client and the second client will be first introduced. When the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game is applied to different types of electronic games, the method for determining the first client and the second client is different. Specifically:

[0054] In this exemplary embodiment, when the electronic game is a symmetrical competitive game, the method for determining the first client and the second client includes:

[0055] Symmetrical competitive games include racing games, which are a type of electronic game with the theme of speed competition. Players usually control vehicles (such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.) or other means of transportation to compete with other players on various tracks. The goal is to reach the finish line first.

[0056] When the asynchronous interaction method in an electronic game is applied to a symmetrical competitive game, any at least one client in the same game match can serve as a first client. When any at least one client serves as the first client, the other clients serve as second clients.

[0057] In specific implementation, the network delay of all clients in the same game is monitored, for example: the network delay of all clients in the same game is continuously obtained, or the network delay of all clients in the same game is obtained at preset time intervals.

[0058] The client with the network failure is regarded as the first client, and the client without the network failure is regarded as the second client.

[0059] In this exemplary embodiment, when the electronic game is an asymmetric competitive game, the method for determining the first client and the second client includes:

[0060] For example, in an asymmetric competitive game, there are a pursued party and a pursuer. The goal of the pursuer is to capture the pursued party, while the goal of the pursued party is to decode and escape.

[0061] When the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game is applied to the asymmetric competitive game, any at least one pursued client in the same game match can be used as the first client. When any at least one pursued client is used as the first client, the pursuing client is used as the second client.

[0062] In specific implementation, the network delays of all pursued clients in the same game are monitored, for example: the network delays of all pursued clients in the same game are continuously obtained, or the network delays of all pursued clients in the same game are obtained at preset time intervals.

[0063] The pursued client in which the network failure occurs is regarded as the first client, and the pursuing client is regarded as the second client.

[0064] In the above exemplary embodiments, the determination method of the first client and the second client is introduced. When the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game is applied to different types of electronic games, the determination methods of the first client and the second client are different. The following will introduce a method for determining whether there is a network failure in the first client:

[0065] In this exemplary embodiment, the method of determining whether the first client has a network failure includes:

[0066] Determining a network delay of the first client;

[0067] Determine whether the network delay is higher than or equal to a delay threshold or whether the fluctuation of the network delay is higher than or equal to a fluctuation threshold;

[0068] In response to determining that the network delay is higher than or equal to a delay threshold or that a fluctuation of the network delay is higher than or equal to a fluctuation threshold, determining that a network failure exists in the first client;

[0069] or,

[0070] In response to determining that the network delay is lower than a delay threshold or that the fluctuation of the network delay is lower than a fluctuation threshold, it is determined that there is no network failure on the first client.

[0071] When implementing it, refer to Figure 4 , a method for determining whether a first client has a network failure includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S501: Determine the network delay of the first client.

[0073] Network delay refers to the time required for a data packet to travel from the sender to the receiver, including factors such as transmission delay, processing delay, and queue delay. When the first client is the sender, the server is the receiver; when the server is the sender, the first client is the receiver.

[0074] Step S502: Determine whether the network delay is greater than or equal to a delay threshold.

[0075] Network latency higher than the threshold means that the delay in data transmission exceeds the preset performance standard or the user's expected latency level. Real-time applications such as online games have strict requirements on network latency. If the actual network latency exceeds this threshold, it may lead to application performance degradation, such as delayed operation response, video freeze, voice delay, etc.

[0076] If the network delay is higher than or equal to the delay threshold, jump to step S504 and determine that the first client has a network failure;

[0077] If the network delay is lower than the delay threshold, the process jumps to step S505 to determine that there is no network failure on the first client.

[0078] Step S503: Determine whether the fluctuation of the network delay is higher than or equal to a fluctuation threshold.

[0079] Large fluctuations in network delay, or network jitter, refer to the instability of network delay, which describes the delay variation between data packets. In an ideal network environment, the delay between data packets should be consistent, but in an actual network, the delay of each data packet may vary due to factors such as routing changes and network congestion. Network jitter is an indicator used to describe this delay variation and is an important indicator for evaluating network stability. The smaller the jitter, the more stable the network. Network jitter has a particularly significant impact on real-time applications because it can cause inconsistencies in the arrival of data packets, affecting call clarity or video fluency.

[0080] If the fluctuation of the network delay is higher than or equal to the fluctuation threshold, jump to step S504 and determine that there is a network failure on the first client;

[0081] If the fluctuation of the network delay is lower than the fluctuation threshold, the process jumps to step S505 to determine whether there is no network failure on the first client.

[0082] Step S504: Determine that a network failure exists on the first client.

[0083] Among them, "network delay is higher than the threshold" focuses on whether the absolute value of network delay exceeds a certain standard, while "network delay fluctuation is large" focuses on the consistency and stability of network delay. Both will affect the performance of network applications, but they focus on different aspects.

[0084] Step S505: Determine that there is no network failure on the first client.

[0085] If there is no network failure in the first client, the game proceeds normally.

[0086] In the above exemplary embodiment, a method of determining whether a first client has a network failure is introduced. If a first client has a network failure, a second client in the same game match with the first client is controlled to suspend the game, and the first client is controlled to play the game locally. Specifically:

[0087] In specific implementation, once a network failure is detected on the first client, the second client should immediately pause the game and display a notification to the player of the second client indicating that the first client has been disconnected and the game will be paused.

[0088] In specific implementation, considering the user's gaming experience after the game is paused, the present disclosure displays game-related public information to the player of the second client when the game is paused, so as to help the user smoothly pass the period of pausing the game, specifically:

[0089] In this exemplary embodiment, after controlling the second client to stop playing the game, the method further includes:

[0090] Control the second client to display public information corresponding to the game match.

[0091] In a specific implementation, the public information corresponding to the game match includes at least one of the following:

[0092] Background information of the virtual scene in the game;

[0093] Background information, skill information, and operation technique information of the virtual character in the game;

[0094] Historical game match information that matches the game match.

[0095] In specific implementation, when the second client suspends the game, the first client plays the game locally. Specifically:

[0096] In this exemplary embodiment, controlling the first client to play a game locally includes:

[0097] Control the first client to play the game locally offline.

[0098] In a specific implementation, when the first client detects a network failure, it automatically switches to an offline mode, and the first client continues to execute the game logic locally without relying on a network connection.

[0099] In this exemplary embodiment, within a preset first time period, the user of the first client plays the game locally offline through the first client.

[0100] During specific implementation, the first client configures a timer to track the duration of playing the game locally.

[0101] Step S2: In response to determining that the duration of the first client playing the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, controlling the first client to pause the game, and obtaining first game data from the first client.

[0102] In specific implementation, once it is detected that the first client has played the game locally for a certain period of time, the first client should immediately pause the game and display a notification to the player of the first client, indicating that the first client has been disconnected and the game will be paused.

[0103] In specific implementation, considering the user's gaming experience after the game is paused, the present disclosure displays game-related public information to the player of the first client when the game is paused, so as to help the user smoothly pass the period of pausing the game, specifically:

[0104] In this exemplary embodiment, after controlling the first client to stop playing the game, the method further includes:

[0105] Control the first client to display public information corresponding to the game match.

[0106] In a specific implementation, the public information corresponding to the game match includes at least one of the following:

[0107] Background information of the virtual scene in the game;

[0108] Background information, skill information, and operation technique information of the virtual character in the game;

[0109] Historical game match information that matches the game match.

[0110] Step S3: transmitting the first game data to the second client, and controlling the second client to play the game based on the first game data.

[0111] In this exemplary embodiment, controlling the second client to play a game based on the first game data includes:

[0112] Determining a starting position and a movement route of a first virtual object manipulated by the first client based on the first game data;

[0113] In a game game involving a second virtual object controlled by the second client, controlling the first virtual object to move from the starting position along the action route;

[0114] In response to a control instruction for the second virtual object, controlling the second virtual object to act based on the control instruction;

[0115] A first position of the first virtual character and a second position of the second virtual character are determined, and in response to determining that the first position and the second position meet a preset condition, the game result is obtained.

[0116] In a specific implementation, in a game scene where a second virtual object manipulated by a second client is located, a first virtual object manipulated by a first client is constructed, and the first virtual object is controlled to reproduce in the game scene the movement trajectory and actions of the first virtual object when the first client plays the game locally.

[0117] Among them, the game scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when the application is running on a terminal or server, that is, the scene used in the normal game process. In other words, the virtual scene refers to the virtual game control that carries the virtual object during the game process. The virtual object can be controlled by the operation instructions issued by the user (i.e., the player) to the terminal device in the virtual scene to move, confront, and other actions. Optionally, the virtual scene can be a simulation environment of the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fictitious virtual environment, or a purely fictitious virtual environment. The virtual scene can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, and a three-dimensional virtual scene. Among them, the virtual scene is a scene in which the user controls the virtual object to execute the complete game logic. Optionally, the virtual scene can also be used for a virtual battle between at least two virtual objects, and there are virtual resources in the virtual scene that can be collected by multiple virtual objects. Exemplarily, the virtual scene can include any one or more of the following elements: game background elements, game character elements, game prop elements, and game material elements.

[0118] A controlled virtual object refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in a virtual scene. Optionally, the dynamic object can be a virtual character, a virtual object, etc. The controlled virtual object is an object controlled by a user through an input device, or an artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment through training. In a possible implementation, the user can control the controlled virtual object to move in the virtual scene, for example, control the controlled virtual object to navigate or collect virtual resources, etc., and can also control the controlled virtual object to upgrade and develop on the building object created by itself, and can also control the controlled virtual object to fight with virtual objects of other camps. Optionally, the controlled virtual object can have multiple functions, such as not only having the function of collecting virtual resources, but also having the function of fighting. Optionally, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the controlled virtual object can be a three-dimensional virtual model, each controlled virtual object has its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment, and occupies a part of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the three-dimensional virtual object is a three-dimensional character built based on three-dimensional skeleton technology, and the controlled virtual object realizes different external images through wearable technology. In some implementations, the controlled virtual object may also be implemented using a 2.5-dimensional or 2-dimensional model, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0119] During specific implementation, the second client can play the game on the server, or can play the game locally on the second client.

[0120] Next, we will first introduce the second client playing the game on the server, specifically:

[0121] When the second client plays the game on the server, the running body of the game program and the presenting body of the game screen are separated. The storage and operation of the control method of the moving state in the game are completed on the server. The role of the client device is to receive and send data and present the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the information processing is done by the cloud server. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the server. The server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0122] In the above exemplary embodiment, it is first introduced that the second client plays a game on the server. Next, it is introduced that the second client plays a game locally. Specifically:

[0123] In this exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the first game data from the first client, the method further includes:

[0124] Transmitting the first game data to the second client;

[0125] Then, controlling the second client to play the game based on the first game data includes:

[0126] The second client is controlled to play the game locally and offline based on the first game data.

[0127] In the above exemplary embodiment, a cycle of the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is introduced. In specific implementation, after completing the above cycle, the first client still has a network failure. In this case, the above method can be implemented again until a game result is generated or the first client does not have a network failure. Specifically:

[0128] refer to Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of an asynchronous interaction method in an electronic game provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0129] The asynchronous interaction method in the video game comprises the following steps:

[0130] Step S1: In response to determining that a network failure occurs on a first client, a second client in the same game match as the first client is controlled to pause the game, and the first client is controlled to play the game locally.

[0131] Step S2: In response to determining that the duration of the first client playing the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, controlling the first client to pause the game, and obtaining first game data from the first client.

[0132] Step S3: transmitting the first game data to the second client, and controlling the second client to play the game based on the first game data.

[0133] Step S4: Determine whether a game result is generated when the second client plays a game based on the first game data.

[0134] In response to determining that a game result is generated when the second client plays a game based on the first game data, jump to step S7: end the game game.

[0135] In response to determining that the second client does not generate a game result when playing the game based on the first game data, the process jumps to step S5: determining whether there is a network failure on the first client.

[0136] In response to determining that there is no network failure in the first client, jump to step S6: control the first client and the second client to resume the game.

[0137] In response to determining that the first client has a network failure, steps S1 to S3 are executed in a loop until a game result is generated or the first client has no network failure.

[0138] In this exemplary embodiment, step S4 specifically includes:

[0139] determining whether the first client or the second client achieves a game goal when the second client plays a game based on the first game data;

[0140] In response to determining that the first client or the second client has achieved a game objective, determining that a game outcome has been generated;

[0141] or,

[0142] In response to determining that both the first client and the second client have not achieved a game objective, it is determined that no game outcome has been generated.

[0143] In specific implementation, the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to symmetrical competitive games, such as racing games. Racing games are a type of electronic game with the theme of speed competition. Players usually control vehicles (such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.) or other means of transportation to compete with other players on various tracks. The goal of the game is to reach the finish line first.

[0144] In specific implementation, the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to an asymmetric competitive game. For example, in an asymmetric competitive game, there are a chased party and a chaser. The game goal of the chaser is to capture the chased party, while the game goal of the chased party is to decode and escape.

[0145] From the above description, it can be seen that the asynchronous interaction method in the electronic game provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: step S1: in response to determining that there is a network failure in the first client, controlling the second client in the same game match with the first client to pause the game, and controlling the first client to play the game locally; step S2: in response to determining that the duration of the first client playing the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, controlling the first client to pause the game, and obtaining first game data from the first client; step S3: transmitting the first game data to the second client, and controlling the second client to play the game based on the first game data.

[0146] The present disclosure avoids the situation in which a client that is experiencing a network failure is forced to be at a disadvantage or even causes the game to fail through asynchronous interaction, thereby achieving the continuity of the game in the event of a network failure, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the fairness of the game.

[0147] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

[0148] It should be noted that the above describes some embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims.
