Updating method and system for game service installation packet

Abstract

The invention provides an updating method of a setup package of a game service. The method comprises the following steps: (A) a game terminal acquires a directory information tree with directory tree node version control information from a game server; (B) room nodes which are corresponding to the game service and are used by users are acquired; and (C) when determining that a current node exists the version information, the game terminal determines whether the version number of the setup package which is set up by the game service satisfies the requirements of the version control information, if so, the game room process is triggered and entered; or, a new setup package of the setup package which does not meet the requirement is downloaded, and after setup, the game room process is triggered and entered. The invention also provides an updating method of the setup package of the game service and a system for realizing the updating of the setup package of the game service; and the method and the system can reduce the maintenance cost of the game server to the room nodes, can avoid the repeated download of the users to the same resources, save the bandwidth and improve the service quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the updating technology of the game service installation package, in particular to a method and system for updating the game service installation package. Background technique [0002] With the development and popularization of the Internet, network communication games have gradually become one of the main applications of the Internet, and more and more Internet users have begun to use network communication games. The network communication game is a massively multiplayer online game platform based on the Internet, which can support games with Instant Messaging (IM, Instant Messaging) features, or ordinary network communication games without IM features. Existing network communication games include various mainstream board games, casual games, competitive games, and the like. [0003] When a user wants to conduct game business, he generally needs to log in to the game platform in his own game terminal after verifying th...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above execution process, the user selects a room node corresponding to a certain game service, and after triggering the process of entering the game room, the game terminal starts to exchange information with the game server, but in fact, in the process of entering the game room, it needs to Determine whether the version number of the installation package meets the requirements. When the game terminal obtains the version control information of the corresponding room node from the game server, it also obtains the user’s personal information, other user information and other data. When the game terminal installs the game service When the version number of the corresponding installation package does not meet the requirements of the version control information, the data other than the version control information obtained by the game terminal from the game server is useless for the process of entering the game room, so bandwidth resources will be wasted

[0005] In addition, when the version number of the installation package installed in the game terminal does not meet the requirements, the game terminal needs to download a new installation package from the game server, and some installation files in the new installation package are common installation files for multiple games. Or the same installation file as the original installation file, if the user needs to download all the installation files including the public installation file every time, it will lead to repeated downloads of the same installation file, which will not only cause a large download volume, but also waste bandwidth resources; And lead to heavy pressure on the game server, affecting the quality of service

Furthermore, the game server needs to configure the version control information of each room node, and the maintenance cost is high; when it is determined to upgrade the installation package of the game business, it directly configures new version control information for all corresponding room nodes, which cannot Control the number of users who download the installation package corresponding to the game service. Therefore, when more users download the installation package of the game service from the game server at the same time, and there are installation files that may have been downloaded by each user in the installation package, the Further increase the pressure on the game server, waste bandwidth resources, and affect service quality
