A digital fingerprinting system and method for preventing pre-release game piracy

Abstract

The invention comprises a digital fingerprint system and method for preventing piracy of a pre-release game. The system comprises a visual fingerprint module, an attached file module, a texture fingerprint module, a program fingerprint module and a combination module; the visual fingerprint module is used for adding digital fingerprints in significant pictures and / or characters of the game; the attached file module is used for adding fingerprint files for storing the digital fingerprints, wherein the fingerprint files can be set at user-defined positions; the texture fingerprint module is used for selecting at least one texture file in the game and adding the digital fingerprints in the texture files; the program fingerprint module is used for adding the digital fingerprints in at least one executable program file in the game; the combination module is used for selecting at least one of the visual fingerprint module, the attached file module, the texture fingerprint module and the program fingerprint module in a user-defined mode to add the digital fingerprints in game programs. The system and method have the advantages that a responsible person is conveniently found out after the pre-release version is leaked, therefore, all related personnel are warned to pay attention to protect the product privacy, the product security is improved, and the commercial benefits of the product are maintained; multiple security techniques are combined to be used, automated operations are achieved through tools, the operation procedures are convenient, and no influence is generated on game experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital fingerprint system and method for preventing pre-release game piracy, belonging to the field of computer game development. Background technique [0002] Generally, before the official version is released, there will be multiple pre-release versions for technical testing, player data research or product display. These pre-release versions are often leaked by insiders, either intentionally or accidentally. If it is an online game, the leak of the pre-release version will cause the program code and art resources to be cracked, and competitors will obtain important technologies and resources, and even the entire game will be plagiarized and copied. If it's a stand-alone game, leaking a pre-release version can have even more serious consequences, because it means the game has been pirated before it's even released. It is often difficult to find the party responsible for the accident after the event, and even if found, it...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If it is an online game, the leak of the pre-release version will cause the program code and art resources to be cracked, and competitors will obtain important technologies and resources, and even the entire game will be plagiarized and copied.

If it is a single player game, leaking the pre-release version will have more serious consequences, because it means that the game has been pirated before it is released

It is often difficult to find the party responsible for the accident after the event, and even if found, it is difficult to make up for the commercial loss caused
