According to the scheme, a first instance of a cloud game is created based on a first request of a first user of a live room. Then, a game service resource corresponding to the live room is created in the cloud game based on identification information of the live room, so that the first instance is associated to the game service resource. A second instance of the cloud game is created based on a second request of a second user of the live room. Then, the second instance is associated to the game service resource created in the cloud game based on the identification information of the live room.

[0033] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the interaction process of multiple participants in a live game and improve the interactivity of interactive game participation.

[0034] Various example implementations of the scheme are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example Environment

[0036] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, the example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110.

[0037] In this example environment 100, the terminal devices 110-1 and 110-2 can communicate with a management device 120. In the following, the terminal devices 110 can be collectively referred to as terminal devices 110.

[0038] The management device 120 can host a first application platform 122 and manage services provided by the first application platform 122. A second application platform 130 can host a target application 132. The second application platform 130 can be deployed with a container for running the target application 132.

[0039] The terminal devices 110 can run an application 124 provided by the first application platform 122 that supports interface interaction. The application 124 can be any appropriate type of application for interface interaction, examples of which can include but are not limited to a video application, a social application, or other appropriate application. A user 102 can interact with the application via the terminal device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0040] The first application platform 122 can provide an entry for receiving an opening client of the target application 132 through the application 124. For example, the user 102 can request the application 124 to provide a service about the target application 132 through the interactive interface of the application 124 presented by the terminal device 110-1 and / or the user 104 can request the application 124 to provide a service about the target application 132 through the interactive interface of the application 124 presented by the terminal device 110-2.

[0041] After receiving the user request, the first application platform 122 (i.e., the management device 120) can request the second application platform 130 to run the target application 132 and receive running data associated with the target application 132 from the second application platform 130.

[0042] The first application platform 122 can further provide the running data associated with the target application 132 received from the second application platform 130 to the terminal device 110.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device 120 and the terminal device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection therebetween.

[0047] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, without implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0048] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example system

[0050] FIG. 2 illustrates an example system 200 for cloud gaming processing according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The system 200 is described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 2, the host client 210 and the guest client 220 can be installed on the terminal device 110-1 and the terminal device 110-2 of the user 102 (e.g., which can be regarded as a live streaming host in the present application) and the user 104 (e.g., which can be regarded as a live streaming guest in the present application), respectively. More specifically, an application 124 (e.g., a live streaming application) provided by the first application platform 122 to support interface interaction can be running on the terminal device 110-1 and the terminal device 110-2, respectively, and the host client 210 and the guest client 220 can be provided by the application 124, so that the host (e.g., the user 102) and the guest (e.g., the user 104) can access the second application platform 130 (e.g., a cloud gaming platform) through the application 124 to obtain services (e.g., cloud gaming services) of the target application 132.

[0052] The cloud gaming service provided for the host client 210 can be carried by a cloud gaming container 211. If the host client 210 receives (201) a request (also referred to as a first request in the present application) from the user 102 for starting a cloud game, the cloud gaming container 211 can instruct (202) the game client 231 to start the cloud game to create a first instance 230 of the cloud game. The cloud gaming container 211 can communicate with the game client 231 associated with the first instance 230 to send (204) game instructions of the user 102 to the first instance 230 to control the first instance 230 to execute first instructions corresponding to first operation information. The cloud gaming container 211 can obtain (206) cloud game audio and video data from the first instance 230 with the first instance 230.

[0053] The game client 231 associated with the first instance 230 can also connect with the live open platform server 270 via the HTTP proxy 260 to obtain (208) live room information. Next, the game client 231 may, for example, in response to receiving the request of the user 102, create (212) a game service resource corresponding to the host live room in the cloud game based on the identification of the host live room and via the game room server 250, for example, create a game room associated with the host live room, so that the created first instance 230 and the game service resource are associated with each other. In the present application, the game service resource can also refer to a game team and / or a game map, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments, after the game service resource is created, the live content associated with the first instance 230, for example, the audio and video data of the cloud game can be pushed to multiple live viewers (for example, multiple users 104). In some embodiments, the user 102 can invite the live viewers (for example, at least part of the multiple users 104) to be guests to jointly participate in the use of the game service resource. In some other embodiments, at least part of the multiple users 104 can also apply to the user to join the game.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the game client 231 associated with the first instance 230 can send (209) a request for inviting the guests to join the game room to the live open platform server 270 via the HTTP proxy 260. The live open platform server 270 in turn sends (212) the invitation to the client (for example, the guest client 220) associated with the user 104.

[0056] The cloud game container 221 for hosting the cloud game service provided for the guest client 220, after receiving the invitation to join the game room, if the host client 210 receives (203) a request (also referred to as a second request in the present application) from the user 104 about starting the cloud game, the cloud game container 221 can instruct (214) the game client 241 to start the cloud game to create a second instance 240 of the cloud game.

[0057] The cloud game container 221 can communicate with the game client 241 associated with the second instance 240 to send (214) the game instructions of the user 104 to the first instance 240 to control the second instance 240 to execute the second instructions corresponding to the second operation information. The cloud game container 211 can utilize the second instance 240 to obtain (216) the cloud game audio and video data from the second instance 240.

[0058] Since the first instance 240 can be created based on the invitation to join the game room initiated by the host for live streaming, the game client 241 associated with the second instance 240 can obtain (219) the live streaming room information via the HTTP proxy 260, for example, according to the identification of the live streaming room of the host, and join the game service resource that has been created according to the live streaming room information. For example, the game client 241 sends (222) a request to join the game room to the game room server 250 based on the live streaming room information. After joining the game service resource created by the host, the second instance 240 associated with the game client 241 is associated with the game service resource.

[0059] Thus, the bidirectional communication between the game client 241 associated with the second instance 240 and the game client 231 associated with the first instance 230 is established (224). That is, the user 102 associated with the first instance 230 of the cloud game (e.g., the host of the live streaming room) and the user 104 associated with the first instance 240 of the cloud game (e.g., the guest of the live streaming room) can participate in the cloud game in the same game room, while other viewers of the live streaming room can watch the audio and video data in the cloud game process.

[0060] In some embodiments, the other viewers of the live streaming room can interact with the user 102 (e.g., the host of the live streaming room) and the user 104 (e.g., the guest of the live streaming room) participating in the cloud game in the same game room. For example, the other viewers of the live streaming room can send an interactive message to the first instance 230 and / or the second instance 240 to make the first instance 230 and / or the second instance 240 execute instructions corresponding to the interactive information. The interactive message may, for example, include a text message and / or a picture message, such as a barrage, an instant message, an emoticon, and the like.

[0061] In some embodiments, the system 200, e.g., the live open platform server 270, can determine a target instance from the first instance 230 and the second instance 240 based on the analysis of the interactive information, the target instance can include the first instance 230 and / or the second instance 240. The live open platform server 270 can send the interactive information to the determined target instance, so that the target instance specifies the instruction corresponding to the interactive information.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the live open platform server 270 can receive (228) an interactive message from the audience. The interactive message can be transmitted (229) to the first instance 230 via the live open platform server 270. The first instance 230 can execute the instruction corresponding to the interactive information. The instruction is determined based on the syntax analysis and / or semantic analysis of the interactive information.

[0063] In the foregoing, the processing method of cloud gaming has been described according to the example system 200 for cloud gaming processing shown in FIG. 2. In the following, the example process of cloud gaming interaction is described in detail in combination with FIG. 3.

[0064] Cloud gaming interaction process

[0065] FIG. 3 shows a signaling diagram of an example process of cloud gaming interaction according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For the convenience of description, the process shown in FIG. 3 will be described in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the host side interaction can be implemented through an example process 370.

[0067] In the process 370, the host client 210 receives (301) an indication to start cloud gaming. The host client 210 requests (302) a live room token from the live open platform server 270 and receives (304) the live room token from the live open platform server 270.

[0068] The host client 210 indicates (306) the cloud game container 211 to start cloud gaming using the token. The cloud game container 211 indicates (308) the game client 231 to start cloud gaming. The game client 231 requests (310) to obtain live room information from the live open platform server 270 using the live room token, and receives (312) the returned live room information from the live open platform server 270. The returned live room information contains a list of guests.

[0069] The game client 231 requests (314) to create a game room from the game room server 250 using the live room identification. The game room server 250 sends (316) an indication to join the room to the game client 231.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the interaction operation on the audience side (non-guest) can be implemented through an example process 380.

[0071] In process 380, the audience client 223 can receive (318) a request for the audience to enter the live room. The audience client 223 forwards (320) the request to the live open platform server 270. If the request is accepted, the audio and video data of the cloud game is sent (322) from the live open platform server 270 to the audience client 223.

[0072] During the audience's viewing in the live room, the audience client 223 can receive (324) an interactive message from the user, such as a barrage. The audience client 223 forwards (326) the interactive message to the live open platform server 270. The live open platform server 270 forwards (328) the interactive message to the cloud game container 211 if it is determined that the interactive message is to be sent to the host side. The cloud game container 211 in turn delivers (330) the interactive message to the game client 231.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the interaction operation on the guest side can be implemented through an example process 390.

[0074] In process 390, the guest client 220 can receive (331) a request for the guest to join the live room for a mic. The audience client 220 forwards (332) the request to the live open platform server 270. The live open platform server 270 forwards (333) the request to the cloud game container 211. The cloud game container 211 in turn delivers (334) the interactive message to the game client 231.

[0075] The game client 231 can receive (335) a request from the host side to invite the guest to start the game and send (336) the request to the live open platform server 270 along with the guest identity. The live open platform server 270 requests (337) the guest client 220 to start the cloud game. The guest client 220 requests (338) the live open platform server 270 to obtain a live room token. The live open platform server 270 in turn provides (340) the live room token to the guest client 220.

[0076] The guest client 220 uses the obtained live room token and guest identity to request (342) the cloud game container 221 to start the game. The cloud game container 221 uses the live room token to request (344) the live room information from the live open platform server 270. The live open platform server 270 returns (346) the live room information to the cloud game container 221.

[0077] The cloud game container 221 requests (350) to join the game room opened by the host using the live room information to the game room server 250. The game room server 250 can notify (352, 354) the cloud game container 221 and the cloud game container 211 that the guest has joined the game room. After the guest has joined the room, the host and the guest can have multiple data interactions through the cloud game container 221 and the cloud game container 211. These interactions can include interactions associated with the execution of the cloud game they are jointly participating in.

[0078] In the foregoing, the exemplary system 200 for cloud game processing and the exemplary interaction process of different participants in a live room in the process of cloud game opening and playing have been described in conjunction with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The example interface of cloud game interaction will be further described in the following.
