[0027] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to a user's active request, sending a prompt message to the user can be done via a pop-up window, where the prompt message can be presented in text format. Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0028] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this application.

[0029] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the principles and spirit of this disclosure will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0031] It is important to understand in this article that any number of elements in the accompanying figures is for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, and that any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

The article "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the existence of multiple such elements.

[0033] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0034] As described in the background section, video games typically require real-time interaction and synchronization between servers and multiple clients to ensure smooth gameplay and fairness.

[0035] However, when a client experiences a network failure, that client will be at a disadvantage and may even lose the game.

[0036] In related technologies, when a client experiences a network failure, the disconnection and reconnection technology is usually used to continuously attempt to reconnect the client. However, the inventors of this disclosure have found that disconnection and reconnection cannot change the situation where the client is forced into a disadvantageous position or even loses the game, thus failing to guarantee the fairness of the game and causing a bad experience for the client's users.

[0037] Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, related technologies usually pause the entire game until the network failure of the client is resolved before resuming the game. However, the inventors of this disclosure have found that this method brings a bad experience to all users of the entire game.

[0038] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides an asynchronous interaction scheme in video games, specifically including: Step S1: In response to determining that a network failure has occurred on the first client, controlling the second client, which is in the same game match as 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] This disclosure avoids the situation where clients experiencing network failures are forced into a disadvantageous position or even lose the game by using asynchronous interaction, thus ensuring game continuity in the event of network failure, improving user experience, and guaranteeing game fairness.

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

[0041] refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of an asynchronous interaction method in a video game provided by an exemplary embodiment of this 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 all be connected via wired or wireless communication networks to achieve data interaction.

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

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

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the asynchronous interaction method in a video game can run on a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, and a server 103.

[0046] The first terminal device 101 has a first client installed that communicates with the server 103, and the second terminal device 102 has a second client installed that communicates with the server 103. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 store game programs and are used to display game visuals. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 are used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), that is, by conventionally downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on a terminal display screen or providing it to the player through holographic projection. For example, the first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game visuals, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0047] In response to determining that the first client has a network failure, server 103 controls the second client, which is in the same game as the first client, to pause the game and controls the first client to play the game locally; in response to determining that the duration of the first client playing the game locally is equal to a preset duration threshold, server 103 controls the first client to pause the game and obtains the first game data from the first client; the server 103 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 video games according to the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to symmetrical competitive game scenarios, such as racing games. Racing games are a type of video game themed around speed competition, where players typically 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 being the first to reach the finish line. It can also be applied to asymmetrical competitive game scenarios, such as in an asymmetrical competitive game where there is a pursuer and a chaser. The goal of the chaser is to capture the pursued, while the goal of the pursued is to decode and escape.

[0049] The following is combined Figure 1 The above application scenarios are used to describe asynchronous interaction methods in video games according to exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this disclosure, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in any way. Rather, the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an asynchronous interaction method in a video game provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] Asynchronous interaction methods in video games include the following steps:

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

[0053] Below, we will first introduce how the first and second clients are determined. When the asynchronous interaction method in video games is applied to different types of video games, the methods for determining the first and second clients differ. Specifically:

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

[0055] Symmetrical competitive games, such as racing games, are a type of video game themed around speed competition. Players typically 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 being the first to reach the finish line.

[0056] When asynchronous interaction methods in video games are applied to symmetrical competitive games, any at least one client in the same game can act as the first client. When any at least one client is the first client, the other clients act as the second clients.

[0057] In practice, the network latency of all clients in the same game is monitored. For example, the network latency of all clients in the same game is continuously acquired, or the network latency of all clients in the same game is acquired at preset time intervals.

[0058] Clients experiencing network problems are designated as the first client, and clients without network problems are designated as the second client.

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

[0060] For example, in an asymmetrical competitive game, there is a pursuer and a chaser. The pursuer's goal is to capture the pursued, while the pursued's goal is to decode and escape.

[0061] When the asynchronous interaction method in video games is applied to this asymmetrical competitive game, any at least one client being chased in the same game can be the first client. When any at least one client being chased is the first client, the chasing client is the second client.

[0062] In practice, the network latency of all pursued clients in the same game is monitored. For example, the network latency of all pursued clients in the same game is continuously acquired, or the network latency of all pursued clients in the same game is acquired at preset time intervals.

[0063] The client being chased that has a network failure is designated as the first client, and the client chasing it is designated as the second client.

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

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

[0066] Determine the network latency of the first client;

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

[0068] In response to determining that the network latency is higher than or equal to a latency threshold or that the fluctuation of the network latency is higher than or equal to a fluctuation threshold, it is determined that the first client has a network fault;

[0069] or,

[0070] In response to determining that the network latency is below a latency threshold or the fluctuation of the network latency is below a fluctuation threshold, it is determined that the first client does not have a network fault.

[0071] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 4 The method for determining whether the first client has a network failure includes the following steps:

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

[0073] Network latency refers to the time required for a data packet to travel from the sender to the receiver, including transmission latency, processing latency, and queue latency. 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 latency is higher than or equal to the latency threshold.

[0075] Network latency exceeding a threshold means that data transmission delays exceed preset performance standards or the user's expected latency level. Real-time applications like online games have strict requirements for network latency; if the actual network latency exceeds this threshold, it can lead to a decrease in application performance, such as delayed operation responses, video stuttering, and audio delays.

[0076] If the network latency is higher than or equal to the latency threshold, proceed to step S504 to determine that the first client has a network fault.

[0077] If the network latency is lower than the latency threshold, proceed to step S505 to determine that the first client does not have a network fault.

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

[0079] Significant fluctuations in network latency, known as network jitter, refer to the instability of network delays and describe the variation in latency between data packets. In an ideal network environment, the latency between data packets should be uniform. However, in real-world networks, factors such as routing changes and network congestion can cause variations in the latency of individual data packets. Network jitter is a metric used to describe this latency variation and is an important indicator of network stability; lower jitter indicates a more stable network. Network jitter has a particularly significant impact on real-time applications because it can lead to inconsistencies in data packet arrival, affecting call clarity or video smoothness.

[0080] If the network latency fluctuation is higher than or equal to the fluctuation threshold, proceed to step S504 to determine that the first client has a network fault.

[0081] If the fluctuation of the network latency is lower than the fluctuation threshold, proceed to step S505 to determine that the first client does not have a network fault.

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

[0083] Among them, "network latency exceeding the threshold" focuses on whether the absolute value of network latency exceeds a certain standard, while "network latency fluctuations are large" focuses on the consistency and stability of network latency. Both affect the performance of network applications, but they have different focuses.

[0084] Step S505: Determine that the first client does not have a network failure.

[0085] If the first client does not experience network problems, the game can proceed normally.

[0086] In the above exemplary embodiment, a method for determining whether the first client has a network failure is described. If the first client has a network failure, the second client, which is 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. Specifically:

[0087] In practice, once a network failure is detected on the first client, the second client should immediately pause the game and display a notification to the players on the second client, indicating that the first client has lost connection and the game will be paused.

[0088] In practice, considering the user experience after the game is paused, this disclosure will display game-related information to players on the second client when the game is paused, to help users smoothly navigate this pause period. Specifically:

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

[0090] The second client is controlled to display the public information corresponding to the game match.

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

[0092] The background information of the virtual scene in the game;

[0093] The background information, skill information, and operation technique information of the virtual characters in the game;

[0094] Historical game match information matched with the game match.

[0095] In practice, when the second client pauses the game, the first client continues the game locally. Specifically:

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

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

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

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

[0100] In practice, the first client is configured with a timer to track the duration of local gameplay.

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

[0102] In practice, once it is detected that the first client has reached the required local game time, the first client should immediately pause the game and display a notification to the player on the first client, indicating that the first client has disconnected and the game will be paused.

[0103] In practice, considering the user experience after the game is paused, this disclosure will display game-related information to players on the first client when the game is paused, to help users smoothly navigate this pause period. Specifically:

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

[0105] The first client is controlled to display public information corresponding to the game match.

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

[0107] The background information of the virtual scene in the game;

[0108] The background information, skill information, and operation technique information of the virtual characters in the game;

[0109] Historical game match information matched with the game match.

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

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

[0112] Based on the first game data, determine the starting position and movement route of the first virtual object manipulated by the first client;

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

[0114] In response to a control command for the second virtual object, control the action of the second virtual object based on the control command;

[0115] Determine the first position of the first virtual character and the second position of the second virtual character, and in response to determining that the first position and the second position meet preset conditions, obtain the game result.

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

[0117] In this context, a game scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) by the application while it is running on a terminal or server; that is, the scene used during normal gameplay. In other words, a virtual scene refers to virtual game controls that carry virtual objects during gameplay. These virtual objects can move, fight, and perform other actions within the virtual scene under the control of user (i.e., player) commands issued to the terminal device. Optionally, a virtual scene can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulated / semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. A virtual scene can be any of a two-dimensional, 2.5-dimensional, or three-dimensional virtual scene. The virtual scene is the scene where the user controls virtual objects to execute complete game logic. Optionally, a virtual scene can also be used for virtual battles between at least two virtual objects, and this virtual scene has virtual resources that can be collected by multiple virtual objects. For example, a virtual scene can include any one or more of the following elements: game background elements, game character elements, game item elements, and game resource elements.

[0118] A controlled virtual object refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled within a virtual scene. Optionally, this dynamic object can be a virtual character, virtual object, etc. The controlled virtual object is controlled by the user through an input device, or it can be artificial intelligence (AI) trained and set up in the virtual environment. In one possible implementation, the user can control the controlled virtual object to move within the virtual scene, for example, controlling its navigation or resource gathering, upgrading and developing its own created structures, and engaging in combat with virtual objects from other factions. Optionally, the controlled virtual object can have multiple functions, such as not only gathering virtual resources but also engaging in combat. Optionally, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional environment, the controlled virtual object can be a three-dimensional virtual model, each with its own shape and volume, occupying a portion of the space within the three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the three-dimensional virtual object is a three-dimensional character constructed based on three-dimensional skeletal technology, and the controlled virtual object achieves different appearances through wearable technology. In some implementations, the controlled virtual object can also be implemented using a 2.5-dimensional or 2-dimensional model, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0119] In practice, the second client can play the game on the server or on the second client's local machine.

[0120] Next, we will first introduce how the second client plays the game on the server. Specifically:

[0121] When a second client plays the game on the server, the main operation of the game program and the main display of the game screen are separate. The storage and execution of movement control methods in the game are completed on the server. The client device's role is to receive and send data and display 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 handled by the cloud server. During gameplay, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the server. The server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses game screen data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0122] In the above exemplary embodiments, the second client playing the game on the server was first introduced. Below, the second client playing the game locally will be described, specifically:

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

[0124] The first game data is transmitted to the second client;

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

[0126] Control the second client to play the game offline locally based on the first game data.

[0127] In the above exemplary embodiments, a loop of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure is described. In specific implementation, after completing the above loop, if the first client still experiences a network failure, the above method can be implemented again until a game result is generated or the first client no longer experiences a network failure. Specifically:

[0128] refer to Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an asynchronous interaction method in a video game provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0129] Asynchronous interaction methods in video games include the following steps:

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

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

[0132] Step S3: Transmit the first game data to the second client, and control 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 the game based on the first game data.

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

[0135] In response to determining that no game result was generated when the second client played the game based on the first game data, the process jumps to step S5: determine whether the first client has a network failure.

[0136] In response to determining that there is no network failure in the first client, proceed 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 repeatedly until a game result is generated or the first client does not have a network failure.

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

[0139] Determine whether the first client or the second client achieves the game objective when the second client plays the game based on the first game data;

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

[0141] or,

[0142] In response to the determination that neither the first client nor the second client has achieved the game objective, it is determined that no game result has been generated.

[0143] In specific implementation, when the asynchronous interaction method in electronic games of this disclosure is applied to symmetrical competitive games, such as racing games, racing games are a type of electronic game with speed competition as the theme. 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 be the first to reach the finish line.

[0144] In specific implementation, when the asynchronous interaction method in electronic games of this disclosure is applied to asymmetrical competitive games, for example, in an asymmetrical competitive game, there is a pursuer and a chaser. The chaser's game objective is to capture the pursued, while the pursued's game objective is to decode and escape.

[0145] As can be seen from the above, the asynchronous interaction method in an electronic game provided in this disclosure includes: Step S1: In response to determining that a network failure exists in the first client, controlling the second client, which is in the same game match as 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] This disclosure avoids the situation where clients experiencing network failures are forced into a disadvantageous position or even lose the game by using asynchronous interaction, thus ensuring game continuity in the event of network failure, improving user experience, and guaranteeing game fairness.

[0147] It should be noted that the method of this disclosure embodiment can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario, where multiple devices cooperate to complete the task. In such a distributed scenario, one of these devices may execute only one or more steps of the method of this disclosure embodiment, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the method described.

[0148] It should be noted that the above description describes some embodiments of this disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in a different order than that shown in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired result. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific or sequential order to achieve the desired result. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.
