Method, server and system for counting network on-line user number

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a server and a system for counting network on-line user number, wherein the method comprises the following steps of receiving a user regular request sent by a client; responding the regular request and updating a last active time in the server corresponding to a user; and counting a user number that the difference of the last active time and a current time is ranged in a preset time difference value and setting the user number to be a current on-line user number. According to the method, the server and the system for counting the network on-line user number, an accurate and real-time online number counting result can be obtained, and the result can be directly compared and analyzed with online user number data of a traditional network game so as to be beneficial to a game operation dealer to draw up a better operation scheme.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a method for counting the number of people online, a server and a system using the method, and in particular to a method, a server and a system for accurately and real-time counting the number of people online based on a stateless connection. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as a new form of online games, web games (Web Games) have developed rapidly. Based on the characteristics that web games do not need to be downloaded or installed, they are likely to completely replace traditional online games in the near future. [0003] For games, the number of people online is a very important indicator. In traditional online games, since the connection between the client and the game server is a stateful connection, the statistics of the number of people online are real-time statistics. The result is precise. [0004] In web games, the game server and the client communicate via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), w...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] There are obvious defects in this technical solution in the prior art, because the online number is added when the game player enters the game, but it is not subtracted in time when the game player leaves, which leads to inaccurate statistics of the online number, and the value will be higher than the actual value Inflated a lot

According to the analysis of practical results, the statistical value may be 2-4 times higher than the actual online number

[0011] In addition, since there is no standard for the specific interval time, various web games can freely set the time interval for updating the number of online users to various time intervals such as 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes, etc., resulting in different It is not possible to conduct comparative analysis between web games, and it is not possible to compare with the real-time online number of traditional online games

This will affect the data analysis of game operations, which in turn will affect the operating income of web games
