[0018] First, the related terms involved in the present application are introduced: Virtual scene: a virtual environment displayed (or provided) by an application when the application runs on a terminal. The virtual scene is implemented based on a virtual environment, and can also be referred to as a virtual world. In some embodiments, the virtual scene is displayed entirely on the terminal; in other embodiments, the virtual scene is displayed partially on the terminal, and the display content on the terminal switches following the player's point of view. The virtual scene can be a simulated world of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictional three-dimensional world, or a purely fictional three-dimensional world. The virtual environment can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment, which is not limited in the present application. The following embodiments are exemplified based on the virtual environment being a three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0019] For example, the virtual environment includes a sky, a land, a sea, and the like, the land includes environmental elements such as plants, houses, and the like, and the user can control the virtual character to move in the virtual environment. Of course, the virtual environment also includes virtual objects, which can be interactive, such as virtual beds, virtual chairs, virtual lamps, virtual bathtubs, and the like, and the user can control the virtual character to lie on the virtual bed or sit on the virtual chair; the virtual objects can also be non-interactive, such as virtual trees, virtual stones, virtual house structures (which can include roofs, floors, columns, doors and windows, etc.), and the like.

The active object can be at least one of a virtual person, a virtual animal, and a virtual cartoon character. Alternatively, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the virtual character can be a three-dimensional virtual model, each virtual character 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. Alternatively, the virtual character is a three-dimensional object constructed based on three-dimensional human skeleton technology, and the virtual character realizes different external appearances by wearing different skins. In some implementations, the virtual character can also be implemented in a 2.5-dimensional or 2-dimensional model, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The master virtual character belongs to the virtual character, and can be considered as a virtual character controlled by the player, for example, the player enters the virtual scene on the first client and selects a virtual character to move in the virtual scene, and the selected virtual character is the master virtual character controlled by the player on the first client. It should be noted that in some virtual games, virtual characters corresponding to different camps are also set. For example, there are at least two camps in a virtual game, and a first camp and a second camp form an antagonistic relationship, and a virtual tower corresponding to the first camp and the second camp is set respectively, the virtual tower can attack the virtual character of the opposite camp, and also be attacked by the virtual character of the opposite camp.

Optionally, there is also one or more terminals 140 that are developer corresponding terminals, and a development and editing platform of a client supporting a virtual environment is installed on the terminals 140, and a developer can edit and update the client on the terminals 140, and an installation package in the updated client is transmitted to the server 120 through a wired or wireless network, and the first terminal device 110 can download the client installation package from the server 120 to implement updating of the client.

[0028] The server 120 includes at least one of a server, a plurality of servers, a cloud computing platform, and a virtualization center. The server 120 is configured to provide background services for the client 111. Optionally, the server 120 undertakes primary computing work, and the first terminal device 110 undertakes secondary computing work; or the server 120 undertakes secondary computing work, and the first terminal device 110 undertakes primary computing work; or the server 120 and the first terminal device 110 adopt a distributed computing architecture for collaborative computing.

The server 120 receives the operation data, processes the operation data to obtain a processing result, and sends the processing result to the first terminal device 110 and the second terminal device 130, respectively.

[0032] In some embodiments, players control virtual characters to explore, fight, or engage in other activities within a virtual environment, such as controlling the virtual character to unleash specific skills. Each skill of a virtual character uniquely corresponds to a specific attribute. Figure 2 The illustration shows a scenario diagram of a data processing method based on virtual characters provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0033] For example, client 210 is associated with a virtual character, and players can log in to the virtual character on client 210 and perform corresponding controls. The virtual character possesses one or more skills, each corresponding to associated attribute information. Server 220 needs to synchronize this attribute information with client 210; simultaneously, this attribute information is stored in database 230, and server 220 and database 230 perform data loading and / or storage of this attribute information. In some embodiments, the storage between server 220 and database 230 may optionally be implemented as persistent storage.

[0034] It should be noted that, Figure 2 Customer 210 in the middle can be realized as Figure 1 One of the first terminal device 110, the second terminal device 130, and other terminals 140. Figure 2 Server 220 in the middle can be implemented as Figure 1 The description of server 120 is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0035] Based on the above, player control over virtual characters will cause changes to the attribute information associated with those characters, including but not limited to the addition, storage, and synchronization of attribute information. The server needs to consider the related processing flow of attribute information, such as data synchronization with the client logging into the virtual character, and the storage and loading of attribute information with the database. These data processing flows are quite complex; simplifying these processes is the problem this application aims to solve.

[0036] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a data processing method based on virtual characters according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The method is described by... Figure 1 The server shown is 120 or Figure 2 Taking server 220 as an example, the method includes: Step 320: Obtain the memory data corresponding to the virtual character.

[0037] The memory data includes at least one enumeration value, which is used to mark existing attribute information associated with the virtual character, or at least one enumeration value is used to add at least one attribute field to the memory data, which is used to mark newly added attribute information associated with the virtual character.

[0038] Memory Data is information used to store specified data in the server, and is implemented in the present application as attribute information of one or more functions of a virtual character. After a player logs in a virtual character through a client and controls the virtual character, the server performs relevant data processing of attribute information with the client based on Memory Data.

[0039] Due to the control of the virtual character by the player at different times, the virtual character has two different attribute information. In some embodiments, the virtual character acquires one or more functions at a historical time, such as the player controlling the virtual character at the last login time to acquire a low-level shooting skill, and the attribute information corresponding to the function can be understood as existing attribute information associated with the virtual character; in other embodiments, the player logs in and controls the virtual character on the client, at which time the virtual character already has some functions, and the player controls the virtual character to acquire a new function at the current time, such as the virtual character unlocking a high-level shooting skill after reaching a certain level, and the attribute information corresponding to the function can be understood as new attribute information associated with the virtual character.

[0040] It can also be understood that the existing attribute information associated with the virtual character is used to indicate one or more historical functions acquired by the virtual character at a historical time, and the new attribute information associated with the virtual character is used to indicate one or more new functions acquired by the virtual character at the current time. The historical functions and new functions both belong to the skills that can be used by the virtual character, including but not limited to at least one of moving, jumping, teleporting, releasing a skill, using a prop, adjusting a body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, flying, jumping, driving, picking up, shooting, damaging, and throwing. The present application does not limit the historical functions and new functions possessed by the virtual character, and other activities implemented by the virtual character can be considered as a function, which will not be described in detail.

[0041] On this basis, at least one enumeration value included in the Memory Data has two functions according to different times and different states of the virtual character: The at least one enumeration value is used to mark the existing attribute information associated with the virtual character. Under this function, the at least one enumeration value should be a historical enumeration value that has been used in the Memory Data. The historical enumeration value can optionally correspond to a historical data value, and the historical data value is used to indicate the value that should be displayed by the historical function of the virtual character, such as the shooting damage value of 100 units corresponding to the display of the low-level shooting skill.

[0042] The at least one enumeration value is used to add at least one attribute field to the Memory Data, and the at least one attribute field is used to mark the new attribute information associated with the virtual character.

[0043] In this function, at least one enumeration value should be a new enumeration value not used in the memory data. That is, the enumeration value in this case is a blank value, which is used when the virtual character obtains one or more new functions. For example, the new function is a high-level shooting skill. The server can add an attribute field to the memory data through a new enumeration value, which is used to mark the new attribute information corresponding to the high-level shooting skill, i.e., the virtual character has a high-level shooting skill, and the shooting damage value is 500 units. Alternatively, the new function is a teleport skill, and the server adds an attribute field to the memory data, which is used to mark the new attribute information corresponding to the teleport skill, such as the virtual character has a teleport skill, and the teleport distance is 500 units.

[0044] According to step 320, after obtaining the memory data corresponding to the virtual character, the server should be able to obtain the attribute information associated with the virtual character, including the existing attribute information and / or the new attribute information. Among them, at the first moment when the server obtains the memory data, the new attribute information is the attribute information corresponding to one or more unknown functions of the virtual character, and its data record, storage and synchronization, etc. need to be processed according to the specific function obtained by the virtual character.

[0045] Step 340: According to the memory data, at least one of the existing attribute information and the new attribute information is processed.

[0046] The description of the existing attribute information and the new attribute information can be referred to the foregoing content, which will not be repeated.

[0047] In some embodiments, the attribute information of the virtual character is stored in the memory data in the form of a key-value pair array (enumeration value, data value), and the related data processing is realized through the key-value pair array. Among them, the key-value pair is a data unit composed of a unique identifier (Key) and associated data (Value), which can also be understood as a data unit composed of an enumeration value and a data value; array is a basic and core data structure in computer science, which is used to store a collection of elements of the same data type, and is accessed efficiently through indexing. The array can be understood as a finite sequence composed of n (n≥1) data elements of the same type; based on this, at least one key-value pair array included in the memory data can be understood as a finite element collection of the same data type in which the key is indexed and the corresponding data in the array is used as the value.

[0048] Referring to the foregoing content, in some embodiments, after obtaining the memory data, the server can obtain at least one key-value pair array, so as to obtain one or more data values corresponding to the enumeration value, and one data value is used to uniquely indicate one attribute information of the virtual character; then, the server can process the attribute information of the virtual character based on the memory data.

[0049] According to step 340, the data processing can include various data processing modes, as follows: • automatically adding an attribute field; In this case, at least one enumeration value is used to add at least one attribute field to the memory data. In the case where the virtual character acquires one or more new functions, the server automatically adds one or more attribute fields in the memory data. In some embodiments, the new attribute field can be implemented as an array of key-value pairs, thereby uniquely marking the attribute information of the new function for the virtual character.

[0050] The new attribute field includes a new enumeration value and a new data value, and is stored in the memory data in the form of an array of key-value pairs (new enumeration value, new data value). The new enumeration value is an enumeration value that has not been used in the memory data, and is used to mark the function number of the new function of the specified virtual character; the new data value is used to record the attribute information corresponding to the specified new function. For example, the new attribute field is (5, 200), the new enumeration value is the function number 5, and the new function of the virtual character is marked as the function with the number 5; the new data value is 200, which indicates that the attribute information corresponding to the function with the number 5 is 200. If the new function is a teleport skill, the attribute information of the teleport skill possessed by the virtual character is stored in the memory data in the form of a key-value pair array (5, 200), which can be understood as the function number of the teleport skill being 5, and the teleport distance being 200 units.

[0051] It should be noted that the new enumeration value should be different from all the enumeration values already used in the memory data, and its specific value should also be different from the values of the already used enumeration values. In some embodiments, the enumeration values in the memory data are sequentially marked with positive integers according to the acquisition order of the functions of the virtual character. For example, three enumeration values have been used in the memory data, with values of 1, 2, and 3, corresponding to the skills 1, 2, and 3 acquired by the virtual character in sequence. Subsequently, the player controls the virtual character to acquire a new skill 4, and a new enumeration value that has not been used in the memory data can be marked as 4, corresponding to the new skill 4, and the new data value corresponding to the new enumeration value is recorded as the attribute information corresponding to the new skill 4, thereby realizing the data processing mode of the new attribute field.

[0052] • data synchronization of attribute information; According to the foregoing, the attribute information includes existing attribute information and / or new attribute information, so that the data synchronization of the attribute information also has various implementation modes: In some embodiments, the data synchronization of the attribute information is implemented as instant synchronization of the incremental data that has not been synchronized at the current time; in other embodiments, the data synchronization of the attribute information is implemented as periodic synchronization of the incremental data. The server obtains at least one enumeration value after obtaining the memory data, and each enumeration value corresponds to an attribute information of the virtual role. During the time period in which the player controls the virtual role, the function possessed by the virtual role will change based on the operation of the player, such as the addition, upgrade, and downgrade of the damage skill, thereby causing the damage value corresponding to the damage skill to change.

[0053] For example, the virtual role possesses skill 1 and skill 2. At the first time, the damage value corresponding to skill 1 is 100, and the damage value corresponding to skill 2 is 200. At the second time, the damage value corresponding to skill 1 is still 100, but the player upgrades skill 2, thereby causing the damage value to increase to 500. At this time, the damage value 500 of skill 2 that has not been synchronized at the second time is the incremental data in this embodiment.

[0054] For the data synchronization of the incremental data, two modes of instant synchronization and periodic synchronization are optionally included. The time node for data synchronization is determined according to whether the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called by an external module. The external module is a server or an external device that needs to obtain attribute information outside the server. In some embodiments, the server actively calls the interface of the client that logs in the virtual role, and then determines whether the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called by an external module. In the case where the active synchronization interface is actively called by the external module, the incremental data is automatically synchronized instantaneously, that is, the incremental data is updated at the time of calling the interface. In the case where the active synchronization interface is not actively called by the external module, the incremental data is periodically synchronized, such as automatically updating the incremental data at the sending time corresponding to the next state synchronization frame. The state synchronization frame is used to indicate the attribute information update duration of the virtual role, for example, the attribute information is updated once within an interval. If the active synchronization interface is not actively called by the external module within the current interval, the incremental data is updated at the start time of the next interval.

[0055] It should be noted that the above examples are described based on the existing attribute information corresponding to the virtual role, and the data synchronization is specifically implemented as the update of the incremental data. If the newly added attribute information corresponding to the virtual role is exemplified, the data synchronization will be implemented as adding an attribute information, which will not be described herein.

[0056] The synchronization of the incremental data described above is performed during the time period in which the player controls the virtual role. The attribute information also needs to be synchronized at the login time of the virtual role, that is, the data synchronization of the attribute information can also be implemented as data synchronization at the login time of the virtual role.

[0057] In some embodiments, the memory data further comprises a synchronization index, which is used to indicate whether the client associated with the virtual role performs data synchronization of the specified attribute information. When the player logs in the virtual role on the client, the player can determine the specified enumeration value corresponding to the specified attribute information according to the synchronization index in the memory data, thereby realizing automatic data synchronization at the login time of the virtual role.

[0058] Automatic storage of attribute information.

[0059] To realize the foregoing data processing of the attribute information associated with the virtual role, the attribute information also needs to be stored, which refers to automatic persistent storage of the attribute information in the database. In one case, when the player controls the virtual role online, all attribute information is automatically updated and stored in the database at a specified time, such as after a preset time interval, or when the player autonomously selects a storage time of the attribute information. In another case, when the player ends the control of the virtual role, that is, at the offline time of the virtual role, the server automatically updates the attribute information and stores it in the database.

[0060] Optionally, if the player logs in the virtual role again, the server can load the updated memory data from the database and perform data synchronization with the client that logs in the virtual role. The data synchronization can be implemented in any of the foregoing examples, which is not limited in the present application.

[0061] In summary, the data processing method based on the virtual role provided in the embodiment can record the existing attribute information of the virtual role or record the new attribute information of the virtual role based on at least one enumeration value in the memory data, thereby realizing a plurality of processing modes of the data corresponding to the attribute information, realizing quick processing of the attribute information (existing attribute information and / or new attribute information) of the virtual role, providing convenience for storage and / or update, and reducing the complexity of the related data processing procedure. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application not only realizes automatic processing of the related data of the attribute information, but also simplifies the data processing procedure and improves the data management capability of the server for the attribute information.

[0062] According to the foregoing, the data processing of the attribute information of the virtual role includes one or more of but is not limited to automatic addition of an attribute field, automatic synchronization of data, and automatic storage of data. Among them, the automatic addition of the attribute field is implemented by adding an enumeration value in the memory data. In the case that there is an unused enumeration value in the memory data, the added function of the virtual role is recorded in the form of a key-value pair array, which simplifies the addition process of the attribute field and enables the memory data to record more attribute information. The automatic synchronization of the data of the attribute field can include multiple cases, which are respectively the instant synchronization of incremental data that has not been synchronized at the current time, the periodic synchronization of incremental data, and the data synchronization at the login time of the virtual role. The one or more data that need to be synchronized are automatically determined by the existing enumeration value in the memory data, so as to realize the update and / or addition of the attribute information of the virtual role, so that the control of the virtual role by the player is more timely, and the control of the virtual role by the player can be quickly adjusted when the attribute information changes, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction. The automatic storage of the data of the attribute field can be understood as the persistent storage of the attribute information of the virtual role in the database, and the storage is automatically performed at the offline time of the virtual role or at a specified time when the virtual role is online. Thus, the attribute information is quickly stored in the database, and data loss is avoided.

[0063] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, based on at least one enumeration value in the memory data, multiple data processing modes of the attribute information associated with the virtual role can be implemented, the related data processing process is simplified, the data management efficiency is improved to a certain extent, the attribute information of the virtual role is facilitated to be quickly updated, and the control experience of the virtual role by the player is indirectly improved.

[0064] It should be noted that the data processing modes involved in the above multiple embodiments can be implemented individually, sequentially or without implementation, or can be combined. Any combination of data processing modes is within the protection scope of the present application. The specific implementation can be determined according to the control of the virtual role, and the present application does not limit this. The multiple combined implementation modes will not be described again.

[0065] Data structure of memory data : According to the foregoing, the attribute information of the virtual role is stored in the memory data in the form of a key-value pair array (enumeration value, data value), and the related data processing is implemented by the key-value pair array. In this case, step 340 can be implemented as follows: According to at least one key-value pair array in the memory data, at least one of the existing attribute information and the added attribute information is processed. The i-th key-value pair array in the at least one key-value pair array comprises one enumeration value and one data value, the data value corresponds to the attribute information of the virtual character marked by the enumeration value, the enumeration value is different from the enumeration values in the other key-value pair arrays in the at least one key-value pair array, i is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

[0066] In some embodiments, the key-value pair is a data unit composed of an enumeration value and a data value, the key-value pair array refers to a limited element set of the same data type in the array, which is indexed by the key and composed of the corresponding data in the array, and the relevant description is referred to the foregoing.

[0067] Figure 4 And Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the data structure provided by one embodiment of the application is shown.

[0068] Referring to Figure 4 The data structure of the memory data comprises five key-value pair arrays, the key is the enumeration value involved in the application, the value is the data value involved in the application, that is, Figure 4 The memory data shown comprises five key-value pair arrays, each key-value pair array comprises one enumeration value and one data value, which are (1, value1), (2, value2), (3, value3), (4, value4) and (5, value5) respectively. According to the enumeration value and the data value in the key-value pair array, the enumeration value in the key-value pair array is unique, and the data value in the key-value pair array is unique. Figure 4 It can be obtained that the enumeration values in the five key-value pair arrays are different, that is, the enumeration values are unique in the same memory data and are used to uniquely mark the attribute information of the virtual character.

[0069] In some embodiments, the enumeration value is used to mark the function serial number of the function of the virtual character. Referring to Figure 5 The data value corresponding to the enumeration value 2 is 100. It can be understood that the function serial number of one function of the virtual character can be marked as 2, the value corresponding to the function is 100, and the function is taken as an example of the damage skill, the damage skill is marked as the skill with the serial number 2, and the damage value of the damage skill is 100 units.

[0070] Referring to Figure 4 And Figure 5 In some embodiments, the memory data comprises other information in addition to the enumeration value and the data value, such as the effective number, the notification marker array, and the unsynchronized client marker array, which are used to assist in implementing the related processing of the attribute information, which will be described in detail below, and will not be described here. In addition, different information in the memory data is stored in different positions in different cases, such as the enumeration value and the data value which are stored in the database, and the effective number which can be stored in the server.

[0071] In the case that the attribute information of the virtual role is stored in the form of a key-value pair array (enumeration value, data value) in the memory data, the related data processing is mainly implemented through the key-value pair array. According to the unique correspondence between the key-value pair array and the attribute information, the selection of the data processing mode is still based on the enumeration value, which specifically includes the following several data processing modes: Data processing mode one: automatically adding attribute field

[0072] In some embodiments, at least one enumeration value is used to add at least one attribute field to the memory data, and the data processing at least includes adding the attribute field. Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 6 A flowchart of a data processing method based on a virtual role provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, and step 340 can be implemented as step 341: Step 341: In the case that the virtual role acquires one or more new functions, one or more attribute fields are added in the memory data, and each attribute field uniquely marks the attribute information corresponding to a new function through a key-value pair array.

[0073] According to the foregoing, the new function is a new skill acquired by the virtual role at the current time, which will bring an increase in attribute information. Based on at least one enumeration value existing in the memory data, one or more attribute fields are added, and the attribute information is uniquely marked through the key-value pair data.

[0074] In some embodiments, each attribute field includes a new enumeration value and a new data value, the new enumeration value is an enumeration value not yet used in the memory data, the new enumeration value is used to mark the function serial number of the specified new function, and the new data value is used to record the attribute information corresponding to the specified new function.

[0075] Referring to Figure 7 Taking that the virtual role acquires a new damage skill as an example, the data structure of the memory data includes multiple key-value pair arrays, and records multiple attribute information of the virtual role in the form of a (key, value) array. Among them, the first four key-value pair arrays are used to mark the existing attribute information associated with the virtual role, and the new enumeration value 5 in the last key-value pair array is not used. When the virtual role acquires a new damage skill, the last key-value pair array is enabled, the function serial number of the damage skill is marked as 5, and the damage value thereof is recorded through the new data value 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, according to the first acquisition time of the function of the virtual role, the corresponding attribute information is stored in the memory data in the form of a key-value pair array one by one, and the enumeration values in the key-value pair array are sorted in the order of positive integers one by one, thereby realizing the unique marking of the function associated with the virtual role, and avoiding the occurrence of the same function corresponding to two enumeration values. Further, when the existing attribute information corresponding to the existing function of the virtual role changes, the enumeration value corresponding to the existing function can be kept unchanged (i.e., the function number is unique), and only the data value corresponding to the enumeration value is automatically changed. The updating process can be regarded as data synchronization of attribute information, which can be referred to the examples in other parts of the application, which will be omitted here.

[0077] In summary, based on the existence of the newly added enumeration value in the memory data, the attribute information of the newly added function associated with the virtual role can be quickly recorded. Referring to Figure 7 For example, assuming that the name of the newly added function (which can be understood as a data service) is business_a (business_a data object), the following {key, value} data object is used to store the business_a data object; then, the attribute information of business_a is stored and marked in the data structure of the memory data by using the newly added enumeration value. After the newly added enumeration value is used, the number of key-value pair arrays also increases by 1, thereby realizing the addition of a position for the business_a data in the memory data.

[0078] Referring to Figure 7 When the virtual role obtains a newly added function business_a, the unused enumeration value in the memory data is marked as 5, and the data value of business_a is set to 100, thereby realizing the setting and storage of the newly added function in the memory data.

[0079] Data processing mode two: data synchronization of attribute information

[0080] In some embodiments, the attribute information includes existing attribute information and / or newly added attribute information. In this data processing manner, the data synchronization of at least one of the existing attribute information and / or the newly added attribute information also includes a plurality of data synchronization implementation manners of the attribute information: First, synchronization of incremental data that has not been synchronized at the current time ; Among them, the data synchronization of the incremental data can be selected from two implementation manners. In some embodiments, the data synchronization of the attribute information is realized as the instant synchronization of the incremental data; in other embodiments, the data synchronization of the attribute information is realized as the periodic synchronization of the incremental data.

[0081] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 8A flowchart of the virtual role-based data processing method provided by one embodiment of the present application is shown. Step 340 can be implemented as step 342: Step 342: According to at least one enumeration value, the client associated with the virtual role performs data synchronization of the existing attribute information and / or the newly added attribute information. The attribute information for data synchronization is the incremental data that has not been synchronized by the client at the current time.

[0082] According to the foregoing, the server will obtain at least one enumeration value after obtaining the memory data, and each enumeration value corresponds to an attribute information of the virtual role. During the time period when the player controls the virtual role, the function possessed by the virtual role will change based on the operation of the player, such as the addition, upgrade, and downgrade of the damage skill, thereby causing the damage value corresponding to the damage skill to change. At this time, data synchronization of the attribute information is needed. Specifically, in this case, part of the attribute information of the virtual role may be changed, and these parts of the attribute information are the incremental data that needs to be synchronized.

[0083] Taking an example in which the memory data includes 5 enumeration values, during the process of the player controlling the virtual role, 3 data values corresponding to 3 functions need to be changed at the current time, and the 3 data values are the incremental data mentioned in step 342. According to step 342, the server can traverse the 5 enumeration values in the memory data, determine the 3 enumeration values that need to be synchronized, and obtain the data values corresponding to the 3 enumeration values, and synchronize them to the client where the virtual role is logged in.

[0084] In some embodiments, the memory data carries at least a first synchronization index, which is used to indicate whether to perform data synchronization of the incremental data with the client. It can be understood that the function of the first synchronization index is to determine the 3 enumeration values that need to be synchronized from the 5 enumeration values.

[0085] At this time, step 342 can be implemented as follows: in the case where the first synchronization index indicates that the data synchronization of the incremental data with the client is needed, one or more valid enumeration values corresponding to the incremental data are confirmed, and the data synchronization of the incremental data is performed according to the data values indexed by the one or more valid enumeration values.

[0086] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first synchronization index is implemented as a notification marker array ntf_value_arr in the data structure of the memory data. Specifically, if the notification marker array is yes, it means that the data synchronization of the incremental data corresponding to the array is needed; if the notification marker array is no, it means that the data synchronization is not needed. Referring to Figure 5 , based on the notification marker array corresponding to the enumeration value 2 being yes, the data synchronization of the data array (i.e., the data value value2) corresponding to the enumeration value 2 is needed.

[0087] Illustratively, the server also needs to confirm whether the enumeration value 2 is a valid enumeration value. Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the valid number can also be optionally included in the memory data, and then it is determined whether the enumeration value 2 is within the range of the valid number. If it is within the range, it is determined to be a valid enumeration value, and otherwise it is not determined to be a valid enumeration value, and at this time, data synchronization is not performed. It can also be understood that the data synchronization of the incremental data needs to meet two conditions: the enumeration value corresponding to the incremental data is a valid enumeration value, and the first synchronization index indicates that the server and the client can perform data synchronization.

[0088] Optionally, the time node of the data synchronization of the incremental data is determined according to whether the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called by an external module. The external module is the server or an external device other than the server that needs to obtain attribute information. In some embodiments, in the case where the active synchronization interface is actively called by the external module, the data synchronization of the incremental data is performed at the calling time, that is, the instant synchronization of the incremental data; in other embodiments, in the case where the active synchronization interface is not actively called by the external module, the data synchronization of the incremental data is performed at the sending time corresponding to the next state synchronization frame.

[0089] Among them, the state synchronization frame is used to indicate the attribute information update duration of the virtual role, that is, the periodic synchronization of the incremental data. In the embodiments of the application, the frame refers to a logical update time unit, which is used to ensure that all player clients perform the same game logic calculation at the same time, so as to realize the state consistency between multiple players. In some embodiments, the frame is the smallest time unit of logical update of the virtual game, which is usually divided by a fixed time length (such as 30 frames per second ≈ 33 ms / frame).

[0090] In some embodiments, the server actively calls the synchronization interface of the client logged in the virtual role, and then determines whether the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called by an external module. According to the foregoing, if the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called by the external module, for example, the virtual teammates of the virtual role are logged in on a mobile terminal (an implementation manner of the external module), at this time, the attribute information of the virtual role needs to be synchronized to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can actively call the active synchronization interface of the server. After receiving the calling information, the server can synchronize the attribute information of the virtual role to the mobile terminal. In another case, the mobile terminal does not actively call the active synchronization interface. At this time, a timer can be set to enable the server to perform data synchronization at the sending time of the next state synchronization frame.

[0091] Second, data synchronization at the login time of the virtual character

[0092] The synchronization of the aforementioned incremental data is performed in a time period in which the player controls the virtual role, and the synchronization of the attribute information is also required at the login time of the virtual role, that is, the data synchronization of the attribute information can also be implemented as data synchronization at the login time of the virtual role.

[0093] Different from the first synchronization index, in some embodiments, the memory data carries at least a second synchronization index, which is used to indicate whether the data synchronization of the specified attribute information is performed with the client associated with the virtual role. For reference Figure 3 , Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a data structure provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 10 A flowchart of a virtual role-based data processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, and step 340 can be implemented as step 343: Step 343: In the case of logging in the virtual role at the client, the specified enumeration value corresponding to the specified attribute information is determined according to the second synchronization index, and the data synchronization of the specified attribute information is performed with the client in the case that the specified enumeration value is a valid value.

[0094] For reference Figure 9 , the second synchronization index is implemented as an unsynchronized client marker array change_ntf_value_arr in the data structure of the memory data. According to Figure 9 The change of the unsynchronized client marker array before and after the construction of the synchronization content is shown, the enumeration values 1, 3, and 4 are determined as the enumeration values that need to be synchronized, and the data values corresponding to the enumeration values 1, 3, and 4 are the incremental data that need to be synchronized with the client.

[0095] Optionally, according to the second synchronization index, if there is a true value in the change_ntf_value_arr, a timer is set to make the server synchronize data with the client in the next state synchronization frame, and the markers in the change_ntf_value_arr are cleared after the data synchronization is completed, so as to be used next time.

[0096] In summary, according to one or more of the limiting conditions such as the first synchronization index, the second synchronization index, and whether the active synchronization interface of the server is actively called, the data synchronization of the attribute information associated with the virtual role can be implemented, and the synchronization process can be automatically implemented between the server and the client without the need for additional processing steps.

[0097] Data processing mode three: storage of attribute information

[0098] In order to implement the aforementioned data processing of the attribute information associated with the virtual role, it also needs to be stored, which can be understood as the persistent storage of the attribute information in the database.

[0099] In some embodiments, the attribute information includes existing attribute information and / or newly added attribute information. For reference Figure 3 , Figure 11 A flowchart of a data processing method based on a virtual role according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Step 340 can be implemented as step 344. The embodiment of the present application can also optionally include step 350: Step 344: At a specified time when the virtual role is online or at a time when the virtual role is offline, update the memory data and automatically store the updated memory data in the database; When the player controls the virtual role online, all attribute information is automatically updated and stored in the database at a certain specified time, such as after a preset time interval, or the player autonomously selects the automatic storage time of the attribute information. Alternatively, after the player ends the control of the virtual role, that is, at the time when the virtual role is offline, the server automatically updates the attribute information and stores it in the database.

[0100] It can be understood that step 344 is the automatic persistent storage of the attribute information of the virtual role in the database. Through data updating at a specific time and automatic storage, the possibility of attribute information loss or update delay is reduced, the degree of automation of data processing is improved, and the data processing process is also simplified.

[0101] Step 350: In the case where the client associated with the virtual role logs in the virtual role, load the updated memory data from the database and synchronize the attribute information of the virtual role with the client.

[0102] According to the foregoing, the server persistently stores the memory data in the database at a specific time. Subsequently, if the player logs in the client associated with the virtual role again, the server can load the updated memory data from the database and synchronize it to the client, thereby realizing the rapid synchronization of the attribute information.

[0103] In some embodiments, the memory data carries at least an effective number.

[0104] For reference Figure 3 , Figure 12 A flowchart of a data processing method based on a virtual role according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Step 340 can be implemented as step 345. The embodiment of the present application can also optionally include step 360: Step 345: In the case where the numerical value of at least one enumeration value is within the range of the effective number, perform data processing on at least one of the existing attribute information and the newly added attribute information; Step 360: In the case where the numerical value of at least one enumeration value is not within the range of the effective number, print an error log.

[0105] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the memory data also carries a valid number for determining whether the value of the enumeration is valid. For example, if the valid number is 5, if the value of the enumeration is any one of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the enumeration value can be determined as a valid enumeration value; if the value of the enumeration exceeds the range of the valid number, such as the value of the enumeration is 6, the enumeration value is determined as an invalid enumeration value, and the server does not perform the data processing process and prints an error log.

[0106] In some embodiments, the data processing involved in the foregoing embodiments can only be performed when the enumeration value is a valid enumeration value (i.e., the value of the enumeration satisfies the condition that the value of the enumeration is within the range of the valid number). For example, if a new attribute field needs to be added, it is first necessary to determine whether the value of the unused enumeration is within the range of the valid number. For example, if the valid number is 5 and the value of the unused enumeration is 4, the addition of the attribute field can be performed at this time; if the value of the unused enumeration is 6, the server prints an error log and does not perform the corresponding processing process of adding the attribute field. For another example, if data synchronization of incremental data needs to be performed, it is also necessary to determine whether the value of the enumeration corresponding to the incremental data is within the range of the valid number. If it is within the range, the data synchronization is performed; if it is not within the range, an error log is printed. It should be noted that the relevant determination of the valid number in the data processing of the foregoing other embodiments is similar and will not be repeated.

[0107] In some embodiments, referring to the architecture diagram of data processing shown in Figure 2 , the server and the client and the database implement relevant data processing of attribute information of a virtual role. Still taking the {key, value} data object (such as business_a) as an example, a plurality of data processing modes can be optionally implemented as follows: 1) Add an enumeration.

[0108] An enumeration value is added to the enumeration mark of business_a for subsequent marking of business_a. After adding the enumeration, the maximum value of the mark array is also increased by 1, and a new position is added for the data of business_a in the memory / synchronization / persistent storage.

[0109] It can be understood that this part is the data processing mode of adding an attribute field as described above. The added enumeration is the enumeration value in the memory data as described above, and the enumeration value is used to add at least one attribute field to the memory data.

[0110] 2) Data structure of memory data.

[0111] In some embodiments, the attribute information of the virtual role is in the form of {key, value} in the memory data and the persistent storage. Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the data structure of the memory data includes the following: 21) The number of the existing service data, denoted as value_num (i.e. the effective number mentioned above), the value is related to the number of enumeration values, and this data exists in the memory and the persistent storage.

[0112] 22) The array-based data structure, with the key of business_a as the subscript index (i.e. the enumeration value mentioned above); and the value of business_a as the value of the corresponding index position, denoted as value_arr (i.e. the data value mentioned above). This data exists in the memory and the persistent storage.

[0113] 23) The array-based data structure, with the key of business_a as the subscript index, and whether business_a needs to be synchronized with the client as the value of the corresponding index position, denoted as ntf_value_arr (i.e. the first synchronization index mentioned above). This data exists in the memory and the persistent storage. After the player logs in, the data of the virtual role is loaded into the server memory, and the server determines which data in value_arr to synchronize to the client according to ntf_value_arr.

[0114] 24) The array-based data structure, with the key of business_a as the subscript index, and whether business_a has not been synchronized with the client as the value of the corresponding index position, denoted as change_ntf_value_arr (i.e. the second synchronization index mentioned above). This data exists in the memory but not in the persistent storage.

[0115] 3) Data settings of the memory data.

[0116] In some embodiments, the key of business_a is specified, and the value of business_a is set, i.e. the attribute information of the virtual role is recorded in the form of key-value pair array.

[0117] Illustratively, check if the key is within the size range of value_num and value_arr, if not within the size range of value_num and value_arr, print error log and return; if within the size range of value_num and value_arr, assign the value of business_a to the position indexed by the key of business_a in value_arr; at the same time, assign the "whether to notify the client" flag to the position indexed in ntf_value_arr, assign the "whether to notify the client" to the position indexed in change_ntf_value_arr; then, if there is a true value in change_ntf_value_arr, set the timer in the next state frame of the server for the position marked as true in the "to-be-notified array", synchronize the index and the corresponding value in value_arr to the client, and clear the flag in change_ntf_value_arr.

[0118] 4) Data acquisition of attribute information.

[0119] That is, specify the key of business_a, and acquire the value of business_a.

[0120] Illustratively, check if the key of business_a is within the size range of value_num and value_arr, if not within the size range of value_num and value_arr, print error log and return; if within the size range of value_num and value_arr, return the value at the position indexed by the key of business_a in value_arr.

[0121] 5) Active synchronization.

[0122] That is, it can be understood as sending the data increment (i.e., the aforementioned incremental data) that has been set but not synchronized to the client to the client.

[0123] Illustratively, traverse change_ntf_value_arr to obtain the index corresponding to the position with a true value, and notify the client of the index value and the data value in value_arr, which can also be understood as incremental synchronization.

[0124] 6) Full storage.

[0125] When the player is online or offline, persist the data in the memory to the database.

[0126] According to the value_num, value_arr, ntf_value_arr in the foregoing 2), the relevant data in the memory data is sent to the database for persistent storage.

[0127] 7) Full amount loading.

[0128] When the player logs in, the full amount of data is loaded from the persistent database into the memory.

[0129] Illustratively, when full amount loading is required, the value_num, value_arr, ntf_value_arr in the database are loaded into the memory; then the ntf_value_arr is traversed to obtain the index corresponding to the position where the value is true, and the index value and the data value in the value array are notified to the client, which can also be understood as initial value synchronization.

[0130] To sum up, the data processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively improve the data management capability for virtual roles, and can also improve the convenient development degree of other modules and improve the high degree of automation of data processing. Based on the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the data management of the virtual role is integrated with data storage / data synchronization / data persistence, and the development of other modules only needs to declare new enumerations using existing interfaces, without the need to implement the logic of data storage / data synchronization / data persistence again.

[0131] In some embodiments, the data processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application eliminates the steps of adding attribute fields / synchronizing clients / persistent landing, increases the development convenience, and improves the convenience of in-memory storage / synchronization to the client / persistent storage of built-in type data in the game development process.

[0132] Specifically, the role data of the virtual role is stored in an array of a corresponding type in the form of a key-value pair, an access portal for setting / retrieving data is provided to other modules, and a switch for a synchronization client is provided to determine whether the data is synchronized to the client. Meanwhile, the method provided by the application can also realize active synchronization of the calling interface of the client. If an external module actively calls the active synchronization interface of the server, all data that is marked as needing to be synchronized to the client and has not been synchronized is immediately sent to the client for synchronization. If the synchronization interface is not actively called, the sending operation is automatically performed in the next state synchronization frame. Compared with the two data synchronization modes, the data synchronization process of the former is faster, and the number of synchronization steps of the latter is less. Meanwhile, the synchronization of the incremental data can also reduce the amount of data transmission. In addition, the application can also realize the persistent storage of the attribute information of the virtual role.
