Currently, cloud games have realized a network fight function of a stand-alone game. In the related art, by starting a cloud game instance in the cloud and connecting terminals of a plurality of users to the cloud game instance, online fight of the plurality of users can be achieved.

However, in the manner of online fight of multiple people provided in the related art, because the cloud game instance generally allocates an instance closer to the party initiating the game, if the distance between two users is longer, the delay of the other party or parties participating in the game is larger, so that the game experience of some users is worse, and the online fight of multiple people cannot be guaranteed to be performed fairly.

Based on this, the embodiment of the disclosure provides a cloud game multi-instance combat method, as shown in fig. 1, firstly, user matching is completed at a user matching server, game instances nearby to two combat parties are respectively pulled up after the matching is completed, a user client and the game instances establish point-to-point audio and video stream connection, video stream quality and time delay are guaranteed, meanwhile, two cloud instances need to be subjected to progress calibration, when the progress of the two calibrated cloud instances is consistent, an instruction transfer server starts to receive a client instruction, and the received instruction is simultaneously forwarded to the two instances, so that the two instances are guaranteed to receive the same instruction at the same game progress, game performance consistency in the two user instances is guaranteed, and the aim of networked combat of users in different places is achieved.

The method provided by the present disclosure is described in detail in the following steps:

step 1, user matching.

The user selects an online fight game mode at a cloud game client to start the cloud game, the client establishes long connection with a matching server, the incoming user and game information start user matching, and after the matching user succeeds, the client of the two successful sides of the matching is notified to start the cloud game. Meanwhile, the cloud game instance is started, so that the cloud game progress of both parties can be kept consistent as much as possible.

And 2, starting an example.

The two online users are respectively scheduled to respective optimal cloud game instances according to own scheduling strategies, and start according to a cloud game normal mode. In the process of scheduling the cloud game instance, the distance between the cloud server and the client is nearest, and the performance of the cloud game instance is optimal.

And step 3, performing progress calibration.

Because of the influence of various factors, different cloud game instance starting time periods may have differences, in order to ensure that the picture progress of two cloud game instance and the game performance of both parties are consistent after an operation instruction of any party is received, before the user operation is allowed, synchronous calibration of the progress of the cloud game instance needs to be performed once after the game is started.

Step 3.1: the waiting picture with the identification of each game is pre-stored to the intermediate server as a progress calibration page.

After the FTG (fighting) game is started successfully, a page waits for a user operation (the game progress is irrelevant to the user operation before the picture appears, the picture is a waiting picture, after the operation is received, the game progress is relevant to the user operation), and the page can be stored as a waiting picture with identification.

In one possible implementation, when the game reference frame is identified, the image comparison scheme can be modified to intelligent identification of characters on the pattern, for example, the identification picture has fields such as "continue to press any key" and "continuous".

Step 3.2: when the cloud game is started, the picture is requested to the intermediate server and is compared with the game picture acquired by the picture acquisition service on the cloud game instance, and the intermediate server does not receive the operation request of the client before the comparison is successful.

Step 3.3: and when the picture comparison similarity is higher than a preset threshold (such as 98%), the cloud server sends a calibration success message notification to the intermediate service.

And 3.4, after receiving the notification of the successful calibration message sent by the cloud servers of the two parties, the intermediate server sends a synchronous notification to the cloud servers of the two parties and the client.

And 4, performing clock calibration.

Step 4.1: as shown in fig. 2, the client sends a request packet to the server, which contains the timestamp T1 of the packet leaving the client.

Step 4.2: when the server receives the packet, the time stamp T2 of arrival of the packet, the time stamp T3 of departure of the packet are sequentially filled, and then the packet is immediately returned to the client.

Step 4.3: when the client receives the response packet, the timestamp T4 returned by the packet is recorded.

Step 4.4: the client calculates the client and server clock bias t.

Assuming equal request and reply packet transfer delays (error in the order of milliseconds is negligible), i.e. d ₁ ＝d ₂ Then can be solved to

Step 4.5: the client adjusts the local clock with clock bias t so that its time coincides with the server time.

And 5, performing image encoding and decoding.

After the cloud image acquisition service acquires images, the time stamp of the calibrated reference clock in the step 4 is encoded together with the image information to identify the acquisition time of each frame of images, and the time stamp is decoded when the client decodes and then is used for identifying the acquisition time of the images;

and 6, carrying out instruction forwarding and synchronization.

Step 6.1, after clock synchronization is completed, taking the progress calibration message received by the client in step 3 as a starting time point, sending a message in a command frame mode through a long connection between the client and the transit server, and sending a command frame message to the intermediate server at a rate of 30 frames per second or 60 frames per second, wherein the message is exemplified as follows:

{clientTimestamp:1668767756029,

imagTimestamp:1668767756000,

ctrl action [ instruction A1] }

clientTimestamp after calibration

imagTimestamp-client decodes the timestamp information carried in the rendered last frame of image

ctrl action-all the manipulation instruction information of the user before the current frame and the previous frame.

And 6.2, when the intermediate server receives command frames of the two parties of the fight, carrying out frame synchronization according to the client time stamps of the two parties, if the client time stamps of the received frames of the two parties differ by less than 1000/frame number (ms), copying the commands of the two operation frames and then forwarding the copied commands to the cloud servers of the two parties, otherwise, indicating that one party of the frame information has delay, and waiting for the arrival of the command frame at one end of the slower network. And as shown in the middle part of fig. 3, the instruction frames of the two parties are aligned and combined, and then the instruction is copied and forwarded to the cloud game instance of the two parties. Meanwhile, the transfer server end is required to store all instruction frame information in a lasting manner in order to realize functions such as cloud instance crash restarting or game picture replay and the like.

And 7, synchronizing the client side pictures.

When the two game frames are not synchronized, as in step 6, the command frame message will carry the timestamp of the current image frame of the client, if the interval between the image timestamps carried in the command frames after the two game frames are synchronized exceeds the preset threshold (for example, 125 ms), it is indicated that the image delay of the client at one end is larger, the control command received at the time point when the frames are not synchronized is discarded, the transmission is not performed, the command transmission is performed after the frames are synchronized, and the fairness of the game is ensured. If the long-time picture is asynchronous, if the asynchronous time length exceeds 1S, the user can be prompted to wait for network abnormality of the opposite side.

And 8, synchronizing the cloud game.

Due to the performance difference of the cloud server, the possibility of blocking in the game running process and the like, the problem that cloud game pictures are asynchronous can also occur. And synchronizing the game picture frames acquired by the cloud to an intermediate server, comparing front and rear pictures one by one after synchronizing the intermediate server according to the image time stamps, and if the comparison similarity of N pictures is smaller than a preset threshold (such as 98%), considering that the cloud game is not synchronized, suspending command forwarding at the moment, and continuously receiving command input after synchronizing the cloud pictures.

And 9, reconnecting the dropped client.

If the intermediate server continuously does not receive 30 frames (1 s) of instruction frame information, the client is prompted, the other party is disconnected, waiting is performed, and meanwhile instruction receiving operation is forbidden.

And 10, restarting the cloud game crash.

In step 6, all instruction frame information is stored to an intermediate server in a lasting mode, if a cloud instance is restarted after running, after the restarting instance finishes the progress calibration of step 3, the maintained instruction is played back quickly according to 10 times of the original frame interval time, so that the game picture of the restarting instance is synchronous with the game of the opponent, and after the instruction playback is finished, the two-party instruction is started and accepted.

Based on the above embodiments, the present disclosure further provides a method for online fight of a cloud game, as shown in fig. 4, including the following steps:

in step S100, position information corresponding to each user terminal of each party in online fight is acquired.

Wherein, each party of online fight comprises at least two parties. And obtaining the geographic position information of the user terminal under the condition that the user knows and agrees. Alternatively, the location information of the user terminal may be obtained through a beidou satellite system, a global positioning system, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In step S200, cloud game instances of the target game are respectively allocated to the user terminals of the participants based on the location information.

The target game is a game started by the user terminals of all the participants. The cloud game instance is an instance of a cloud operation target game.

In step S300, the instruction frame message is acquired through the intermediate server.

The instruction frame message comprises instruction frame messages sent by user terminals of all the participants. The intermediate server determines based on the location information respectively corresponding to the user terminals of the participants

In one possible implementation, the instruction frame message includes all of the manipulation instruction information of the user before the current frame and the previous frame by the user terminal.

In step S400, game synchronization control is performed on the cloud game instance of the target game based on the instruction frame message.

In one possible implementation manner, the intermediate server synchronously transmits the instruction frame message transmitted by the user terminal of each participant to the cloud game instance of each participant, so as to realize synchronous control of the cloud game instance of the target game.

According to the method, cloud game instances can be respectively distributed to all the participants, the game video streams of all the participants are output by the distributed cloud game instances, the problem of video stream delay is solved, meanwhile, the instruction frame message of all the participants is received through the intermediate server, and the cloud game instances of the target game are synchronously controlled based on the instruction frame message, so that the cloud game instances of all the participants can be synchronous, and the fairness of the fight game is improved.

In order to more clearly describe the present disclosure, based on the above embodiment, in step S200, further includes:

in step S210, game instances are respectively allocated to the respective participants respectively corresponding to the user terminals.

In one possible implementation, cloud game instances are allocated to user terminals of each participant nearby, for example, a first cloud game instance closest to the first user terminal is allocated to the first user terminal, and a second cloud game instance closest to the second user terminal is allocated to the second user terminal.

The distance between the server of each cloud game instance and the user terminal of the corresponding participant is smaller than a first preset distance.

By the method, game examples can be distributed nearby for all the participants, and game video streams of all the participants are output by the nearest cloud game examples, so that the problem of video stream delay caused by the fact that a plurality of users are connected with the same game example is solved, and the experience of the users is improved.

In order to more clearly describe the present disclosure, based on the above embodiment, in step S300, further includes:

in step S310, the intermediate server is determined based on the location information corresponding to the user terminals of the respective participants.

In one possible implementation manner, in order to ensure that instructions of two parties of the fight reach the transfer server as simultaneously as possible, the transfer server can be distributed and deployed in machine rooms in all places of the country, and after the matching of the users is completed, the instructions are dispatched to the machine room close to the middle of the geographic positions of the parties of the users. The distance between the intermediate server and the user terminals of all the participants is smaller than a second preset distance.

In step S320, the instruction frame messages respectively sent by the user terminals of the respective participants are acquired through the intermediate server.

The first instruction frame information sent by the first user terminal and the second instruction frame information sent by the second user terminal are obtained through an intermediate server.

To more clearly describe the present disclosure, the above-mentioned party includes a first user terminal and a second user terminal, and the instruction frame message carries a timestamp of a frame corresponding to an instruction of the user terminal, and in step S400, the method includes:

in step S410, a first timestamp corresponding to the first user terminal and a second timestamp corresponding to the second user terminal are obtained based on the instruction frame message, respectively.

The first timestamp comprises a timestamp of a picture frame corresponding to the first user terminal operation instruction, and the second timestamp comprises a timestamp of a picture frame corresponding to the first user terminal operation instruction.

In step S420, if the time interval between the first timestamp and the second timestamp is smaller than the preset time interval, the intermediate server sends the first instruction frame message and the second instruction frame message to the first cloud game instance corresponding to the first user terminal, and simultaneously sends the first instruction frame message and the second instruction frame message to the second cloud game instance corresponding to the second user terminal.

In one possible implementation manner, before receiving or sending the instruction frame message, the intermediate server performs picture synchronization and clock synchronization on the first cloud game instance, the second cloud game instance, the first user terminal and the second user terminal, after synchronization, the cloud server starts to encode a time stamp into a video frame according to a clock after synchronization, the transfer server starts to receive an operation instruction from the user terminal and forwards the operation instruction, and the cloud game instance receives the same operation instruction at the same time, so that the game progress of both parties is ensured to be consistent.

The following describes the manner of picture synchronization and clock synchronization.

In step S500, in the process of waiting for the game, a current first game frame of the first cloud game instance and a current second game frame of the second cloud game instance are obtained.

In step S510, in the case that the similarity between the first game frame and the second game frame and the pre-stored game waiting frame is greater than the preset threshold, notification information of game start is sent to the first user terminal, the second user terminal, the first cloud game instance and the second cloud game instance through the intermediate server.

Typically, after the FTG game is started successfully, there is a page waiting for the user to operate (the game progress is irrelevant to the user operation before the picture appears, the picture is a waiting picture, and after the operation is received, the game progress is relevant to the user operation), and in one possible implementation, the page may be stored as an identifiable waiting picture.

To more clearly describe the present disclosure, based on the above embodiment, before sending, by the intermediate server, notification information of game start to the first user terminal, the second user terminal, the first cloud game instance, and the second cloud game instance at the same time, the method further includes:

in step S600, clock information of the first user terminal, the second user terminal, the first cloud game instance, and the second cloud game instance is obtained respectively.

In one possible implementation, the clock information includes timestamp information. Illustratively, the first user terminal sends a request packet to the server of the first cloud game instance, where the request packet includes a timestamp T1 of the departure of the request packet from the first user terminal. When the server of the first cloud game instance receives the packet, sequentially filling the arrival time stamp T2 of the packet and the departure time stamp T3 of the packet, immediately returning the packet to the first user terminal, and recording the time stamp T4 of the packet return.

In step S610, clock synchronization is performed between the first user terminal, the second user terminal, the first cloud game instance, and the second cloud game instance based on the clock information.

The clock synchronization between the user terminal and the cloud game instance may refer to the related description of fig. 2 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, which is not repeated here.

In one possible implementation manner, clock synchronization may be performed on each user terminal first, and then clock synchronization between the user terminal and the cloud game instance may be implemented in the above manner. Alternatively, the clock deviation between the user terminals may be determined by simultaneously acquiring the clocks of the user terminals, and notifying the client terminal to adjust the clocks based on the clock deviation.

By the method, the clock calibration is performed before the intermediate server sends the successful calibration notice to the cloud game instance and the user terminal, so that clock synchronization of four ends is ensured, and clock basis is provided for subsequent picture and instruction synchronization.

To more clearly illustrate the disclosure, based on the above embodiments, the method further includes:

in step S700, a time stamp of a current image frame of a user terminal of each participant in an online fight is acquired during the game fight.

In step S710, in case that the time stamp interval of the current image frame of the user terminal where any two participants exist is greater than the preset interval, the intermediate server stops receiving and/or transmitting the instruction frame message.

In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 5, the user a network situation is better, there is normal network delay, but the frame delay and the frame dropping situation do not occur in the picture, and the user B network has fluctuations, resulting in the frame delay and the frame dropping situation. When the user A sees the 1 st frame of picture, the B user is blocked, the 0 th frame of picture is still displayed, and at the moment, the user A performs A2 operation to be applied to the 1 st frame of picture, but at the moment, the user B does not see the 1 st frame of picture, so that the B cannot react, and the B user is unfair.

When two game pictures are not synchronized, the command frame message carries the time stamp of the current image frame of the client, if the time stamp interval of the image carried in the command frame after the synchronization of the two parties is too large, when the time interval exceeds 125ms, the large blocking occurs once, the image delay of the user side is larger at one end, as shown in fig. 5, the pictures of the two parties at the time point 2 and 3 are not synchronized until the time point 4, the picture is re-synchronized, the command A2 is applied to the 1 st frame picture at the time point 2, at this time, the control command received at the time points 2 and 3 of the picture non-synchronization can be discarded (namely, the command A2) and not forwarded, and the command is forwarded after the picture synchronization, so that the fairness of the game is ensured. If the long-time picture is asynchronous, for example, the asynchronous time length exceeds 1S, the user can be prompted to wait for network abnormality of the opposite side.

To more clearly illustrate the disclosure, based on the above embodiments, the method further includes:

in step S720, in the case where the intermediate server does not receive the instruction frame message transmitted by the user terminal of any one of the parties for a preset time, the reception and/or transmission of the instruction frame message is stopped.

For example, if the intermediate server does not receive the instruction frame message of the first user terminal for 1s (30 frames) continuously, the second user terminal is prompted to drop the line of the other party, please wait, and at the same time, the instruction accepting and/or transmitting operation is prohibited.

To more clearly illustrate the disclosure, based on the above embodiments, the method further includes:

in step S800, the acquired instruction frame message is stored to the intermediate server.

In step S810, if any one of the participants restarts the cloud game instance, the stored instruction frame message is played back at a preset speed on the restarted cloud game instance.

In one possible implementation manner, all instruction frame messages are stored in a persistence mode to an intermediate server, if a cloud instance is restarted after running, after the restart instance finishes progress calibration, the stored instructions are played back quickly according to the preset multiple speed of the original frame interval time, for example, 10 times of the speed, so that the game picture of the restart instance is synchronous with the games of other participants, and after the instruction playback is finished, the instructions of all the participants are started and accepted.

To more clearly illustrate the disclosure, based on the above embodiments, the method further includes:

in step S900, a current image of a cloud game instance corresponding to each participant is obtained.

In one possible implementation, images of the I-frame cloud game instance may be periodically transmitted to an intermediate server during the game.

In step S910, if the similarity between the images of the cloud game instances corresponding to any two participants is less than the preset threshold, the intermediate server stops receiving and/or sending the instruction frame message.

In one possible implementation manner, after the synchronization of the image time stamps, the intermediate server performs the comparison of the front and rear frames one by one, for example, performs the image comparison of the front and rear frames 5 frames, if the comparison similarity of 10 frames is smaller than 98%, the cloud game is considered to be asynchronous, the instruction forwarding can be suspended at this time, and since the cloud game behavior is only related to the operation, after stopping the control, the final game frames will be kept consistent, and after the cloud frames are synchronized, that is, the similarity of the cloud frames collected by the similar time stamps is greater than 98%, the instruction input is continuously accepted.

By the method, in the game process, when the game picture of the user terminal is not synchronous, the picture of the cloud game instance is not synchronous or the user is disconnected and restarted, the intermediate server does not receive and/or send the instruction frame message, the problem of the instruction non-synchronization among the participants is avoided, the fairness of game fight is improved, and the experience of the user is further improved.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, cloud game examples are respectively distributed to the user terminals of all the participants, picture synchronization and clock synchronization of all the participants and all the cloud game examples are carried out before the game starts, a basis is provided for subsequent instruction synchronization, in the game process, instruction frame information of all the user terminals of all the participants is received and forwarded through the intermediate server, so that the instruction frame information can reach the cloud game examples corresponding to all the user terminals at the same time, and in the case that pictures of the user terminals or the cloud game examples are not synchronous, the receiving and/or sending of the instruction frame information is stopped, the fairness of game fight is improved, and the experience of users is further improved.
