detailed description

The method and device for intercepting a game screen provided by the embodiments of the present invention are adapted to automatically intercept a game screen of a game running in the terminal, and accurately and conveniently intercept the game screen including the predefined key events.

The methods and apparatus of the present embodiment are applicable to terminals including, but not limited to, mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, desktop computers, handheld game consoles, and the like. The terminal can have the function of running an application (Application, APP) such as a game, and can also have functions such as accessing the network and positioning.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a component structure of a terminal to which a method and an apparatus for intercepting a game screen according to an embodiment of the present invention are applied. In FIG. 1, the terminal may include components such as a memory 101, a processor 102, a communication module 103, a display 104, an input unit 105, an audio circuit 106, a speaker 107, a microphone 108, and a communication bus 109. The memory 101, the processor 102, the communication interface 103, the display 104, the input unit 105, and the audio circuit 106 all communicate with each other through the communication bus 109. Both the speaker and the microphone are connected to the audio circuit.

Among them, the memory 101 can be used to store software programs and modules. The memory 101 can store an operating system, an application program and the like required for at least one function (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, a game, etc.); and can also store data (such as audio data, a phone book) created according to the use of the terminal, and the like. . The memory 101 may include a high speed random access memory, and may also include a nonvolatile memory such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device.

The processor 102 is a control center of the terminal, which connects various parts of the entire terminal by various interfaces and lines, and executes by executing or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 101, and calling data stored in the memory 101. The terminal's various functions and processing data, so as to monitor the terminal as a whole. In an alternative embodiment, processor 102 can include one or more processing units.

The communication module 103 can be used for transmitting and receiving information, or receiving and transmitting signals during a call; or communicating with other devices through a network. In particular, when the terminal is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, the communication module may be a radio frequency (RF) circuit. Generally, the RF circuit includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, and an LNA (Low). Noise Amplifier, low noise amplifier, etc. In addition, the RF circuit can communicate with the network and other devices through wireless communication. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution, long term) Evolution) and so on.

The display 104 can be used for a window interface and display the rendered game screen in the window interface; it can also display information input by the user, or information provided to the user, and various graphical user interfaces of the computer device, these graphical user interfaces It can be composed of any combination of graphics, text, pictures, and the like.

Audio circuitry 106, speaker 107, and microphone 108 provide an audio interface between the user and the terminal. The audio circuit 106 can transmit the converted electrical data of the received audio data to the speaker 107 for conversion to the sound signal output by the speaker 107; on the other hand, the microphone 108 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, which is received by the audio circuit 106. After conversion to audio data, the audio data is output to the communication module for transmission to, for example, another terminal, or the audio data is output to a memory for storage.

In particular, when the terminal is a mobile terminal, the terminal may further have a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module. WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. The terminal can help users to send and receive emails, browse web pages and access streaming media through the WiFi module. It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Of course, the WiFi module is taken as an example here, but it can be understood that the WiFi module can also be replaced with other short-range wireless transmission modules.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure of the handset shown in FIG. 1 does not constitute a limitation to the handset, and may include more or less components than those illustrated, or some components may be combined, or different components may be arranged.

The game application run by the terminal in the embodiment of the present invention may be a game application of a stand-alone game, or may be a game application of a network game that requires a network connection. Regardless of whether the scenario applied by the solution of the present invention is a scene of a stand-alone game or a scene of a network game, the terminal may trigger a screenshot of the game screen outputted to the game window during the running of the game.

Based on the commonality of the above embodiments, the following description will be made from the perspective of a terminal. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart diagram of an embodiment of a method for intercepting a game screen provided by the present application, and the process includes the following steps:

S201, start the game process of the game application, and run the screenshot process of the built-in screenshot plugin of the game application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the screenshot plug-in is a plug-in for implementing a game screen outputted by the game process.

While the game application starts the game process, the process of the screenshot plug-in is run, so that when the game process needs to be intercepted and outputted to the game screen in the game window, the interception of the game screen is completed by the process of the screenshot plug-in. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to distinguish the progress of the game process from the process of the screenshot plug-in, the process of the screenshot plug-in is referred to as a screenshot process.

S202. Monitor, by the game process, whether a preset key event exists in the game screen.

Among them, the key events in the game screen are actually the key events generated during the game. For example, the key event can be during the game, the terminal player realizes the clearance event of the game clearance; the number of consecutive killings of the player in the specified time exceeds the preset number of events, for example, the game commonly known as the three kills, four kills and super God and other events.

The key events can be customized as needed. For example, the developer can preset the defined key events in the game application. In an optional implementation, the game application can preset a list of key events, the list of key events. It can include one or more key events. As another example, the game player can set or select an event as a key event in the settings interface of the game application before starting the game process.

It can be understood that if a preset key event is generated in the game, the corresponding script execution is triggered, and the result is fed back to the game process, so that the game process can monitor the key event.

S203. When the game process monitors the key event, triggering the screenshot process to invoke a screenshot interface preset by the operating system to intercept the game screen currently output by the game process.

Among them, the operating system of the terminal can have the underlying screenshot capability. The screenshot interface of the operating system is an interface that can be called by the operating system, and the interface is an interface defined by the operating system for implementing the screenshot function.

It can be understood that the screenshot process can capture a frame of the game screen currently output by the game process by calling the screenshot interface of the operating system, thereby acquiring the game screen containing the key event.

In an optional implementation manner, when the game process monitors a critical event, the game process may send a key event indication to the screenshot process, where the key event indication is used to indicate that a key event exists in the game screen; correspondingly, In response to the key event indication, the screenshot process triggers a screenshot interface that invokes an operating system preset to intercept a game screen currently output by the game process through the screenshot interface.

In an optional implementation manner, before the step S203, after the screenshot process is run, the screenshot permission may also be requested by the screenshot process, where the screenshot permission is the permission of the screenshot process to invoke the screenshot interface in the operating system. After the screenshot process obtains the screenshot permission of the operating system, the screenshot process can call the screenshot interface of the operating system.

It can be seen that when the game process monitors that there is a preset key event in the game screen, the screenshot process is triggered to call the screenshot interface of the operating system preset to intercept the game screen currently outputted by the game process, so that the game containing the key event can be intercepted in time. The screen avoids the problem of the user's operation delay, which makes it impossible to intercept the desired game screen in time, and improves the accuracy of the game screen capture.

S204, storing the intercepted game screen.

It can be understood that after the screenshot process acquires the game screen, the game screen is cached, and for the subsequent implementation, the captured game screen can be shared by other applications, or as a souvenir of the game player, and the intercepted game can also be played. The screen is stored. However, it can be understood that this step S204 is merely an optional step performed to facilitate subsequent processing of the game screen by the game player.

The storing the captured game screen may be that the screenshot process performs a storage operation of the game screen every time the captured game screen is acquired, but the number of key events may occur during the game, so that the game process may be intercepted. There are many times to the game screen, and if the storage is performed once every time the game screen is captured, more processing resources are consumed. In an optional implementation manner, the intercepted game screen may be stored by the screenshot process when the game termination instruction is detected, that is, when the game termination instruction is detected, the game process may be intercepted at one time. All game screens that are sent are stored.

The game screen may be stored in a pre-specified storage area in the terminal. In an optional implementation manner, in order to facilitate subsequent sharing of the intercepted game screen, the game screen may be stored in a specified server, for example, Cloud server. For example, referring to FIG. 3, a schematic structural diagram of a system for intercepting a game screen of the present invention is shown.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, the system can include a terminal 301 and a server 302, and the terminal 301 and the server 302 are connected through a network.

The terminal 301 runs a game application.

As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal 301 is configured to intercept a game screen containing the key event when a key event exists in the game application running; and transmit the intercepted game screen to the server 302 through the network;

The server 302 is configured to receive a game screen uploaded by the terminal and store the game screen.

The process of intercepting the game screen by the terminal is described in detail from the perspective of the communication interaction between the game process of the game application and the screenshot process in the following with reference to FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 4, a schematic diagram of a process interaction of a method for intercepting a game screen according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method of this embodiment may include:

S401. The terminal starts the running of the game process of the game application;

For example, if the user clicks on the icon of the game application in the terminal, the terminal runs the game process of the game application, and the game process is started.

S402, the game process initializes the screenshot plug-in to run the screenshot process corresponding to the screenshot plug-in installed in the game application;

For example, the game process can send an initialization indication to the screenshot plugin, so that the screenshot plugin is initialized, and the screenshot process corresponding to the screenshot plugin is run.

Understandably, initializing the screenshot plugin is an optional step, the purpose of which is to make the screenshot process of the screenshot plugin run better.

S403. The screenshot process requests a screenshot permission from the operating system.

The screenshot permission may be a permission to invoke a preset screenshot interface in the operating system, and the screenshot interface is an available interface that is provided by the operating system, and the screenshot service provided by the operating system is used by calling the screenshot interface.

S404, when the game process detects the game start instruction, the game process detects whether the screenshot function of the screenshot process is allowed to be started, if yes, step S405 is performed; if not, the interception of the game screen is ended;

It can be understood that, after the terminal runs the game application, if the game player of the terminal wishes to start the game, the user needs to click to select the game item to be opened, and trigger to enter the corresponding game item to trigger the terminal to send a game start instruction to the game process. .

When the game process starts, the screenshot plugin in the game application will also be run, but in the actual application, the user can set whether to execute the screenshot function of the screenshot plugin, that is, whether to enable the screenshot plugin to be enabled. Correspondingly, if the screenshot plugin is not allowed to start, then although the process of the plugin is run, the corresponding screenshot function of the screenshot plugin will not be executed.

As shown in FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of a setting interface for setting a screenshot function is shown. After the user opens the game application, a related function for opening the game application can be set, and the setting interface of FIG. 5 has an option “honor screenshot”. The option indicates whether to enable the screenshot function for the game screen containing key events. If the user chooses to enable this option, it means that the screenshot function needs to be enabled. In this case, the game process needs to monitor whether there is a key event and detects the key. In the event, the screenshot process of the screenshot plugin is triggered to intercept the game screen. Further, in the setting interface, the user can also perform other function settings. After the setting is completed, the user can close the setting interface, or click the button of “Start Game” to trigger the start of the game.

Of course, the step S404 is an optional step. In the case that the screenshot function corresponding to the screenshot plug-in is started by default, it is not necessary to perform an operation of detecting whether the screenshot process is allowed to be started.

S405, the game process notifies the screenshot process of the information about the start of the game;

S406, the screenshot process determines whether the game is started, whether to obtain the screenshot permission, and if so, wait for the key event indication of the game process; if not, proceed to step S407;

This step S406 is an optional step, the purpose of which is to reconfirm whether the screenshot process has applied for the screenshot permission, in order to prepare for the subsequent screenshot of the game screen.

S407, the screenshot process requests screenshot permission to the operating system, and returns to step S406;

After the screenshot process sends a request for the screenshot permission, it is still necessary to monitor whether the operating system agrees to the application of the screenshot process, so it is still necessary to return to step S406.

Correspondingly, if the operating system assigns screenshot rights to the screenshot process, the operating system can return a corresponding response to the screenshot process to indicate that the screenshot process has screenshot rights.

S408, the game process monitors whether a preset key event is generated in the game screen, and if so, step S409 is performed, and if not, step S408 is repeatedly executed;

It should be noted that, after the game starts, the game process notifies the progress of the game to the screenshot process, and may trigger the game process to monitor whether the key event is generated in the game. Therefore, the execution sequence of the step S405 and the step S408 is performed. Not limited to FIG. 4, in practical applications, the step S405 and the step S408 may be performed simultaneously.

S409, if the game process monitors a key event, sending a key event indication to the screenshot process;

The key event indication is used to indicate that the critical event is monitored.

S410. The screenshot process, in response to the key event indication, invokes a screenshot interface preset by the operating system to intercept a game screen currently output by the game process through the screenshot interface;

In order to facilitate the understanding of the interception of the game screen in the embodiment of the present invention, the following is an example of the occurrence of a "big kill kill" event in the game, wherein "big kill kill" refers to the game player continuously in the specified event. The number of hit game objects exceeds the set number of events. If the game process detects a "big kill kill" event during the game, the game process will instruct the screenshot process to take a screenshot. The screenshot process intercepts the game screen of the current frame data by calling the screenshot interface of the operating system, and obtains the inclusion of " The game screen of the big kill special killing event, as shown in Fig. 6, is a schematic diagram of the effect of a game screen containing the "big kill kill" event.

It can be seen from Fig. 6 that, in the event of a "big kill kill" event on the game screen, based on the communication mechanism established by the game process and the screenshot process, the screenshot process can call the bottom layer screenshot capability possessed by the terminal itself to complete the "big kill" An automatic screenshot of the kill event, resulting in a game screen presenting the event.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, after the key event indication is received by the screenshot process, the screenshot interface is invoked in real time as an example. However, it can be understood that, in the actual application, after the screenshot process runs, or after the screenshot process applies for the screenshot permission, the screenshot process can call the screenshot interface of the operating system to intercept the output of the game process through the screenshot interface. The game screen, in this case, the game screen outputted by the game process can be intercepted by calling the screenshot interface, but at this time, the screenshot process does not store the intercepted game screen. If the game process monitors a critical event, the screenshot process can cache the game screen currently captured by the screenshot interface to get a game screen presenting a key event.

S411, when the game process detects the game termination instruction, instructing the screenshot process to terminate the operation;

The game termination instruction refers to the termination instruction of the game item running by the game process, that is, the so-called closed game.

S412, the screenshot process detects whether the terminal is connected to the WiFi network, and if so, step S413 is performed; if not, step S414 is performed;

S413. The screenshot process is based on the WiFi network, and uploads all captured game screens to a designated server;

S414. Store all game screens intercepted by the screenshot process into a designated storage area of the terminal.

If the game running by the game application is terminated, the screenshot process needs to store the game screen captured during the game. In particular, if the screenshot process detects the WiFi network, all the game screens intercepted by the screenshot process can be uploaded through the WiFi network. To the server; if the WiFi network does not exist, the screenshot process can only store the intercepted game screen to a designated storage area local to the terminal.

The designated server may be a cloud server associated with the game application, so that if the subsequent user wants to share the intercepted game screen with others, the game screen stored on the cloud server may be viewed through the game application, so as to play the game. The screen is processed accordingly.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention is an example of whether the terminal is connected to the WiFi network. However, in actual applications, the screenshot process may also have a preset other wireless network. If there is a preset wireless network, It is also possible to upload the captured game screen to the designated server through the detected wireless network.

In S415, the screenshot process releases the resources occupied by the screenshot process.

After the screenshot process completes the storage of the game screen, the resources occupied by itself can be released to terminate the screenshot process.
