Cloud Game Data Sharing via Terminal Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cloud gaming technologies face challenges in sharing data from cloud games to social applications running on players' terminals, limiting social interaction and dissemination due to restricted sharing functions on servers.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and system that enables terminals to log into cloud games, transmit operation instructions to servers, and receive sharing information from servers to share data to-be-shared with social applications locally on the terminal, determining if operation information is of a shareable type before parsing and transmitting data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If cloud games are executed on a server, then terminal devices with limited graphics processing capabilities can run high-quality games, but sharing data to social applications on terminal devices becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the server generates sharing information containing data to be shared, transmits it to the terminal device, and the terminal device's sharing component completes the actual sharing to social applications. This mediator approach allows cloud games to share data despite the game running on the server rather than the terminal.
2Device complexity
If the game runs on a server, then powerful graphics computing is not needed on terminal, but social interaction and dissemination are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sharing function into two parts: the server handles game logic and generates sharing information, while the terminal device handles the actual sharing operation to social applications. This segmentation allows the terminal to maintain simple graphics processing requirements while regaining social interaction capabilities through local sharing operations.
3Ease of operation
If sharing is performed directly from server, then cloud game data can be shared, but terminal devices cannot leverage local social application integration
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device acts as an intermediary that receives sharing information from the server and leverages its local social application integration capabilities to complete the sharing. This allows cloud games to benefit from both server-side game execution and terminal-side social application integration.

AI summary
A system/method for a cloud game can improve sharing to a social application that is locally running on a terminal. The system/method improves the scalability of cloud games, provides improved information processing, improves the sociality of cloud games, achieves a high degree of dissemination of cloud games, improves the degree of participation of players in cloud games, and improves the interaction rate of cloud games. The system/method includes logging, by a terminal, in to a cloud game installed in a server based on a trigger instruction of a cloud game login portal, transmitting an operation instruction to the server on which the cloud game is installed, and receiving sharing information including data to-be-shared transmitted by the server. The terminal can share the data to-be-shared to a target social application.
