Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of game technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for recommending accounts in games. Background Technology

[0002] In games, when multiple players participate in the same match, there's a possibility that one player might have a positive impression of another player's performance. Typically, players can only add that player as a friend or wait for a future random match. However, a single game performance is insufficient to determine a player's true skill level, adding them as a friend doesn't align with social habits and requires the other player's consent. Randomly matching them is a probabilistic event and may be difficult to achieve. Some games also have a "like" function, but liking a player's performance could be driven by social needs or simply by in-game observation, making it hard to distinguish. These methods fail to simultaneously satisfy players' needs for light social interaction and their desire to understand other players' performance, leading to a poor player experience and negatively impacting game retention. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, device and electronic device for recommending accounts in games, so as to promote communication and cooperation among players and improve the player experience without increasing the social burden.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for recommending accounts in a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a first terminal device, the first terminal device corresponding to a first game account; the method includes: in response to an interface display instruction, displaying a social interface corresponding to the first game account in the graphical user interface, wherein the social interface includes a first control and a second control, the first control being used to trigger the display of a second game account that satisfies a specified social relationship with the first game account, the second game account being controlled through the second terminal device; in response to a trigger operation on the second control, displaying a third game account with additional attributes in the social interface, wherein the additional attributes include: a first additional attribute added by the first game account, and / or a second additional attribute added by the second game account; the third game account does not satisfy the specified social relationship with the first game account.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an account recommendation device in a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a first terminal device, the first terminal device corresponding to a first game account; the device includes: a social interface display module, used to display a social interface corresponding to the first game account in the graphical user interface in response to an interface display instruction, wherein the social interface includes a first control and a second control, the first control being used to trigger the display of a second game account that meets a specified social relationship with the first game account, the second game account being controlled through the second terminal device; and a first account display module, used to display a third game account with additional attributes in the social interface in response to a trigger operation on the second control, wherein the additional attributes include: a first additional attribute added by the first game account, and / or a second additional attribute added by the second game account; the third game account does not meet the specified social relationship with the first game account.

[0006] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor, and the processor executes the machine-executable instructions to implement the aforementioned account recommendation method in the game.

[0007] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a machine-readable storage medium storing machine-executable instructions. When the machine-executable instructions are invoked and executed by a processor, the machine-executable instructions cause the processor to implement the aforementioned account recommendation method in the game.

[0008] The embodiments of the present invention bring the following beneficial effects: The aforementioned method, apparatus, and electronic device for recommending game accounts, in response to an interface display instruction, displays a social interface corresponding to a first game account in a graphical user interface. The social interface includes a first control and a second control. The first control triggers the display of a second game account that meets a specified social relationship with the first game account. The second game account is controlled via a second terminal device. In response to a trigger operation on the second control, a third game account with additional attributes is displayed in the social interface. These additional attributes include a first additional attribute added by the first game account and / or a second additional attribute added by the second game account. The third game account does not meet the specified social relationship with the first game account. In this method, players can mark non-friend players they admire, and the system displays other players marked by the player or their friends, facilitating further interaction between players. This promotes communication and cooperation among players without increasing social burden, thus improving the player experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] In games, there might be situations where a player acknowledges another player's performance in a match but isn't entirely sure if they're truly skilled or just lucky. In this case, the player can only choose to add that player as a friend or ignore them. This approach forces players to decide whether to engage in deeper social interaction after only one or two cooperative game sessions, which doesn't align with the common practice of gradual social development and the current trend of casual gaming without becoming friends.

[0015] Furthermore, when a player wants to add another player as a friend, the other player also needs to be willing to add them as a friend. If the other player is not willing, it will be difficult for the two to team up and play games together again. Under these circumstances, it is also difficult for players to recommend excellent players they encounter to other game friends.

[0016] In related technologies, players can express their approval of other players through the "like" function. The "like" function originated from social products, aiming to allow some players to express their appreciation for their favorite works without incurring heavy social burdens. Subsequently, as the function evolved, more push-weighting logic was incorporated into the "like" function. This not only affects the person who likes the comment but also creates greater social pressure for both parties through numerical displays and the disclosure of the commenter's information. Therefore, the common "like" function can no longer fulfill a player's simple desire to "team up with that person again next time" without becoming friends, exposing themselves, experiencing social pressure, or simply expressing their own preference without being judged by others.

[0017] This invention provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for recommending accounts in games. This technology can be applied to scenarios such as friend recommendation and team recommendation in games.

[0018] In one embodiment of this invention, the account recommendation method in a game can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the account recommendation method in a game runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, which includes a server and client devices.

[0019] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of the account recommendation method in the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0020] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the graphical user interface, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0021] See Figure 1 First, this invention introduces a method for recommending game accounts according to an embodiment of the present invention. A graphical user interface is provided through a first terminal device, which corresponds to a first game account; that is, the first game account is logged into the game program running on the first terminal device. Players can control the first game account to perform game actions by operating the first terminal device, such as establishing or dissolving friend relationships with other game accounts, and teaming up to participate in game matches.

[0022] The method includes the following steps: Step S102: In response to the interface display instruction, the social interface corresponding to the first game account is displayed in the graphical user interface. The social interface includes a first control and a second control. The first control is used to trigger the display of a second game account that meets the specified social relationship with the first game account. The second game account is controlled through a second terminal device.

[0023] The aforementioned interface display commands can be generated by the player through a human-computer interaction device connected to the first terminal device, or they can be automatically generated by the game system. For example, the player can control the first terminal device to run the game program through the human-computer interaction device, so that after the first terminal device loads game resources, it directly displays the social interface corresponding to the first game account in the graphical user interface; the player can also generate interface display commands by using the human-computer interaction device to trigger the display of the social interface in the graphical user interface; or, after a game match involving the first game account ends and the game results screen has been displayed for a specified time, the game system can automatically generate interface display commands to make the graphical user interface display the social interface. Specific settings can be configured according to needs and are not limited here.

[0024] The aforementioned designated social relationships typically refer to a relatively stable relationship between two or more game accounts pre-set in the game, which will not change when the game accounts enter different game scenarios. The establishment and dissolution of a designated social relationship usually requires initiation by at least one game account, and all game accounts involved in the designated social relationship are usually aware of its existence. Game accounts with designated social relationships can typically engage in some interactive behaviors, such as sending each other chat messages, inviting each other to team up for game matches, and requesting each other to team up for game tasks, etc., the specifics of which can be configured according to needs.

[0025] In the game, you can set only one type of designated social relationship, such as a friend relationship; or you can set multiple designated social relationships, such as friend, mentor-apprentice, close friend, or partner relationships. The conditions for achieving different social relationships and the interaction methods between the two parties after achieving the relationship may differ. For example, when two game accounts have been friends for more than 10 days and have interacted for more than 10 days, their social relationship becomes a close friend relationship; training scene controls can only be enabled for two or more game accounts with a mentor-apprentice relationship, etc. Specific settings can be configured according to needs and are not limited here.

[0026] When displaying the social interface, both the first and second controls can be deactivated. At this time, the social interface can display basic social information of the first game account, such as the first game account's social identifiers (including nickname, avatar, level, etc.), the total number of game accounts that have established a specified social relationship with the first game account, and the identifier of the game account that has maintained a specified social relationship with the first game account for the longest time. Specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 2As shown, the social interface displays the name of the first game account: Xiao A, nickname: AA, and also shows the first game account's avatar 1, with a total of 10 friends, as well as the first and second controls.

[0027] When displaying the social interface, the first control can be directly in a triggered state, and the social interface will directly display a second game account that meets the specified social relationship with the first game account. There can be one or more second game accounts. When displaying the second game account, its name, avatar, online status, and game status (whether it is currently in a game) can be displayed. In one specific embodiment, using... Figure 3 For example, the social interface displays the first control in a triggered state, along with three second game accounts, showing the names of each account (Account 1, Account 2, and Account 3) and their online status. The social interface also displays the second controls that have not yet been triggered. Players can usually interact with the first control to cancel its triggering state. In some games, the social interface can be pre-set to exclude the first control and directly display the information of the second game accounts; this is not restricted here.

[0028] Step S104: In response to the trigger operation on the second control, a third game account with additional attributes is displayed in the social interface, wherein the additional attributes include: a first additional attribute added by the first game account, and / or a second additional attribute added by the second game account; the third game account and the first game account do not satisfy the specified social relationship.

[0029] These additional attributes can be added to game accounts in various situations. Only game accounts that do not have a designated social relationship can add additional attributes to each other. When multiple game accounts participate in a game together, each game account can see the performance of other game accounts in the game and add additional attributes to other accounts that do not have a designated social relationship with them, either during or at the end of the game.

[0030] Game accounts can also upload videos of their gameplay or strategies to the game system. Alternatively, the game system can automatically record videos or data of a game account's performance in a match if the account performs well (e.g., the number of enemies killed exceeds a certain threshold, or the completion time is less than a certain threshold). Other game accounts can view the content uploaded by the game account or recorded by the game system and add additional attributes to the game account corresponding to the viewed content.

[0031] In the scenarios described above where additional attributes can be added to game accounts, a control can be set up in the graphical user interface to trigger the addition of these attributes. Players can trigger this control by operating the human-computer interaction device to add additional attributes to the corresponding game account.

[0032] In each of the above scenarios, each game account can typically only add an additional attribute to each non-friend account once. However, in different scenarios, such as different game matches, a game account can add additional attributes to the same non-friend account multiple times. For example, if game account A and game account B are participating in the same game, and the player controlling game account A thinks game account B is performing well, they can trigger the display of game account B's avatar in the graphical user interface. This will then display the control corresponding to game account B, which adds the additional attribute. The player can trigger this control to add the additional attribute to game account B. In the subsequent stages of that game match, game account A cannot add any more additional attributes to game account B. If game account A and game account B participate in other game matches, game account A can add additional attributes to game account B during those matches to express appreciation for game account B.

[0033] For a third-party game account with added attributes, the added attributes added by other game accounts are indistinguishable. The first and second added attributes mentioned above are distinguished from the first game account that needs to be displayed. The added attributes added by the first game account to the third game account are called the first added attributes, reflecting the first game account's appreciation and recognition of the third game account; the added attributes added by the second game account, which has a designated social relationship with the first game account, to the third game account are called the second added attributes, reflecting the second game account's appreciation and recognition of the third game account.

[0034] The aforementioned third game account can be one or more. A third game account may possess both the first and second additional attributes, or only one of them. Game accounts with the first additional attribute can be identified as the third game accounts to be displayed. In this case, the third game account may or may not have the second additional attribute. In specific implementations, all third game accounts with the first additional attribute can be displayed, or, according to preset conditions, a specified number of game accounts can be selected from those with the first additional attribute and displayed as third game accounts on the graphical user interface. These preset conditions may be related to the number of times the first additional attribute is added, or the number of times both the first and second additional attributes are added. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0035] Alternatively, game accounts possessing both the first and second additional attributes can be selected as the third game accounts to be displayed. Similar to the above method, all third game accounts possessing both the first and second additional attributes can be displayed, or a specified number of game accounts can be selected as the third game accounts for display.

[0036] Game accounts with at least the first or second additional attribute can also be designated as third game accounts. These third game accounts are then divided into two groups: one group consisting of accounts with the first additional attribute, and the other group consisting of accounts with only the second additional attribute. Both groups of game accounts are then displayed. The second control can also include two sub-controls, each used to trigger the display of one group of third game accounts. The specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the social interface displays a first sub-control and a second sub-control. The first sub-control is in a triggered state. The social interface also displays the third game accounts with the first additional attribute corresponding to the first sub-control: Account 4, Account 5, and Account 6. Similar to the display of the second game account, the third game account's name, avatar, level, online status, and game status can be displayed. Figure 4 In the middle, the social interface displays the name and online status of the third game account.

[0038] The aforementioned account recommendation method in a game, in response to an interface display command, displays the social interface corresponding to a first game account in a graphical user interface. The social interface includes a first control and a second control. The first control triggers the display of a second game account that meets a specified social relationship with the first game account. The second game account is controlled via a second terminal device. In response to a trigger operation on the second control, a third game account with additional attributes is displayed in the social interface. These additional attributes include a first additional attribute added by the first game account and / or a second additional attribute added by the second game account. The third game account does not meet the specified social relationship with the first game account. In this method, players can mark non-friend players they admire, and the system displays other players marked by the player or their friends, facilitating further interaction between players. This promotes communication and cooperation among players without increasing social burden, thus improving the player experience.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, players can add additional attributes to game accounts controlled by other players participating in the game in the game's settlement interface.

[0040] In practical applications, the game accounts controlled by players can be either participants in a game or spectators. Upon the end of a game, a results screen is displayed on the graphical user interface. This results screen typically displays at least a portion of the game accounts that participated in the game. In practice, the results screen can display all game accounts that participated, only the winning accounts, or one or more accounts that performed well. The specific settings can be customized to meet specific needs. Figure 5 As shown, the game displays four game characters (Character 1, Character 2, Character 3, and Character 4) participating in the match, along with the names of the player accounts controlling each character (Account 1, Account 2, Account 3, and Account 4). To the right of Account 1, Account 2, and Account 3, controls for adding additional attributes are displayed, indicated by heart-shaped icons. Since Account 4 has already established a social relationship with Account 1, no controls for adding additional attributes are displayed for Account 4.

[0041] Players can trigger controls for adding additional attributes to each account, generating attribute addition commands. For example, if a player triggers a control for a third game account, in response to the attribute addition command, a first additional attribute is added to the third game account. The third game account is one of the game accounts displayed in the graphical user interface that does not satisfy a specified social relationship with the first game account. The added additional attribute typically does not affect the game account to which it was added; it only affects the display of the third game account in the social interface of the game account that initiated the attribute addition.

[0042] The following embodiment provides an implementation of displaying a third game account with additional attributes in a social interface in response to a trigger operation on a second control.

[0043] In practical applications, in response to a trigger operation on the second control, it is first necessary to determine the cumulative number of times the third game account with additional attributes has had those attributes added. The third game account with additional attributes can be a game account with at least the first additional attribute, a game account with at least the first additional attribute or the second additional attribute, or a game account with only the second additional attribute. The specific settings can be configured according to requirements.

[0044] When the third game account has at least one of the first additional attributes, the cumulative number of additions is usually the first cumulative number of additions corresponding to the first additional attribute, or it can be the sum of the first cumulative number of additions corresponding to the first additional attribute and the second cumulative number of additions corresponding to the second additional attribute. When the third game account only has the second additional attribute, the cumulative number of additions is usually the second cumulative number of additions corresponding to the second additional attribute. Furthermore, third game accounts with additional attributes can be arranged and displayed in the social interface according to the cumulative number of additions. Typically, third game accounts are displayed in descending order of cumulative number of additions.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the first control is a first tab, and the second control is a second tab. The first tab is used to trigger the display of the associated first page, and displays a second game account that meets a specified social relationship with the first game account. The first page corresponding to the first control and the second page corresponding to the second control typically share the same display area in the social interface. Figure 6 As shown, the first tab displays the friends list and is in a triggered state. The second tab displays the recommendations list and is not triggered. Players can trigger the second tab. In response to the trigger action on the second tab, the associated second page will be displayed in the social interface, and a third game account with additional attributes will be displayed on the second page.

[0046] The maximum number of third-party game accounts that can be displayed can be preset, for example, 50. Priority will be given to removing the accounts that have not interacted for the longest time from the display area corresponding to the second tab. Such interactions can include being randomly matched into the same game, adding additional attributes to each other, sending team invitations, etc.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the second tab, labeled with the recommended list, is in a triggered state. In practice, it can be linked to a third-party game account in the social interface to display the cumulative number of times the third-party game account has been added. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the third game accounts are displayed: Account 4, Account 5 and Account 6. The cumulative number of times each third game account has been added is also displayed on the right side, which are 10, 6 and 2 respectively. Figure 7 In the table, accounts 4, 5, and 6 are displayed in descending order of their cumulative number of additions.

[0048] Players can also typically control the generation of interaction commands for third-party game accounts via human-computer interaction devices. In response to these commands, the system controls the corresponding interactive behavior directed to the third-party game account. Interactive behaviors can include one or more of the following actions initiated against the third-party game account: establishing a specified relationship, forming a team, and sending messages. These interaction commands can be generated in various ways; for example, a control for generating interaction commands can be displayed in the social interface, linked to the third-party game account, and triggered by the player to generate the corresponding interaction command. Figure 7 As shown, to the right of accounts 4, 5, and 6, there are also add friend and team control controls for each account; the add friend control can be used to initiate the add friend behavior with the corresponding account, and the team control is used to initiate the team behavior with the corresponding account.

[0049] Push notifications targeting a fourth game account can also be displayed in the social interface. This fourth game account is typically a game account whose cumulative number of added attributes meets preset conditions among the third game accounts. These preset conditions can include having the highest cumulative number of additions, having a cumulative number of additions greater than or equal to a preset threshold, or having a cumulative number of additions ranking in the top 10% among all third game accounts. Similarly, the cumulative number of additions can be the first cumulative number of additions corresponding to the first added attribute, the second cumulative number of additions corresponding to the second added attribute, or the sum of the first and second cumulative number of additions. When multiple third game accounts can be identified based on the above preset conditions, any one of them can be selected as the fourth game account corresponding to the push notification. For example... Figure 8 As shown, while displaying the second game account on the social interface, a push notification message corresponding to account 4 is also displayed. This push notification message includes the following content: Account 4 has received multiple endorsements from you and your friends. Please add him as a friend! The push notification message can also display a confirmation control. If the player triggers this control, a friend request will be sent to account 4.

[0050] When a game allows players to team up for matches, the interactive controls displayed in conjunction with a third-party game account may also include a team-up control. Players can trigger this control to initiate a team-up action with the third-party game account. The aforementioned preset conditions may also include: the game account being online and inactive. Figure 9 While displaying the third game account, a push notification for account 5 is shown, which may include: a recommendation to team up with account 5, 20 additional attribute additions, and the friend add control and team up control for account 5. The push notification remains pinned to the top while switching between displaying the second and third game accounts.

[0051] In the graphical user interface, a third-party control can be associated with the push message display. For example... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the rectangular icon marked "refresh" represents the third control. In response to a trigger operation on the third control, the system controls the game account targeted by the updated push notification. First, it's necessary to determine the fifth game account from the third game account set based on the cumulative number of times each game account's corresponding additional attributes have been added. In practice, this can be done by determining game accounts that meet preset conditions based on the cumulative number of times other game accounts besides the fourth game account have been added and their online status within the third game account set. These game accounts are then designated as the fifth game account, and the system controls the switching of the fourth game account in the push notification to the fifth game account.

[0052] If players don't want to see push notifications, they can control the generation of a close command for the push notifications. Responding to the close command will cancel the display of the push notifications. This can be achieved by displaying a close control in the graphical user interface, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the rectangle marked "close" indicates the close control. Players can trigger this control to generate a close command for the push notification. When the first game account is in the game lobby or other scenarios used for team play, it's typically necessary to guide it quickly into a game. If the first game account does not enter a game within a specified time, a push notification for the fifth game account can be displayed again in the social interface; the fifth game account is the third game account that meets preset conditions. The specified time can be 3 seconds or 5 seconds, etc., and can be set according to requirements.

[0053] The fifth game account is usually different from the fourth game account. Unless only the fourth game account meets the preset conditions, or each third game account has already been pushed once and manually turned off, players who have been manually turned off will not be pushed before the start of a new game. If a new game has been played or the user has logged back in, the judgment will be refreshed and reset.

[0054] If the game account status corresponding to the push message no longer meets the preset conditions, such as already being in a game and not suitable for sending team invitations, then push messages for other game accounts that meet the preset conditions will be generated.

[0055] Players can control the establishment of specified social relationships between their first and third game accounts, such as adding each other as friends. In response to the first and third game accounts fulfilling a specified social relationship, the system removes the third game account from the second page corresponding to the second tab. For example, if a recommended account becomes a friend of the current account, it will no longer be included in the current account's recommendation relationship judgment logic. However, the number of times it has been recommended by the current account will still be recorded and used in the recommendation relationship calculation for other friends of the current account. For example, if A and C are friends, A and B are not friends, and B and C are not friends, and A recommends B N times, then A and B become friends. N will be recorded and cannot be increased further, but C and B will still not be friends. In this case, N will still be included in the calculation of C's cumulative number of friend requests.

[0056] Players can also control the cancellation of specified social relationships between their first and third game accounts; for example, they can cancel a friend relationship between the first and third game accounts. In response to the first game account canceling the specified social relationship with the third game account, the third game account needs to be re-displayed on the second page. In this case, the first and third game accounts can still add additional attributes to each other.

[0057] The above method provides a light-burden social relationship, offering players a better entry point to find better teammates. In this method, friend recommendations provide a more reliable basis for judging the abilities of some unfamiliar players, and outstanding or popular people can gain more social opportunities, forming a more virtuous social cycle and providing players with more social possibilities, thus expanding social channels.

[0058] For the above method embodiments, see Figure 10 The embodiment of the present invention shown provides an account recommendation device in a game.
