Background

With the popularization of smart phones, online games are rapidly developed, and at present, many online games can be run on the mobile phones, so that the online games are also called as hand games. Existing online games are roughly divided into: race type, shot type, policy type, and action role-playing type, etc.

Currently, a popular network game system is implemented using a server-Client (CS) architecture. Under the CS architecture, the memory capacity and CPU speed of the hardware platform on which each server operates are limited, and in order to achieve data synchronization and information sharing for bearing tens of thousands of players, the server is composed of a set of servers (zone servers). Data and shared information can be freely accessed between roles in the zone server, but information cannot be shared between roles between two zones. Therefore, the player can only carry out matching in the zone server, and can not carry out any matching of all players, so that the game experience is poor.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a game server cluster, such as that shown in FIG. 1 (only one game server, one routing server, one matching server are shown), the game server cluster 100 may include a plurality of game servers 101, a plurality of routing servers 102, and a plurality of matching servers 103, the routing servers 102 being connected to the game servers 101 and the matching servers 103, respectively;

the game server 101 is configured to receive a matching request message sent by a game terminal of a player, obtain matching information according to the matching request message, and send the matching information to the routing server 102;

the routing server 102 is configured to determine a target matching server from the multiple matching servers 103 according to the matching information, and send the matching information to the target matching server;

the target matching server is used for carrying out matching operation according to the matching information.

The game terminal can be a terminal installed with a game application program, and the type of the game terminal is not limited by the disclosure; the players mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure are all the same player.

The game terminal may send a matching request message to the game server 101 after receiving a matching operation triggered by the player, the game server 101 may obtain game data of the player according to the matching request message after receiving the matching request message sent by the game terminal, the game data may include combat data, player partner data, and the like of the player, and then may package the game data and the matching request message to obtain matching information corresponding to the player, and finally, the game server 101 may determine whether the player satisfies a matching precondition, and may send the matching information to the routing server 102 when determining that the player satisfies the matching precondition.

The routing server 102, after receiving the matching information sent by the game server 101, may determine a target matching server from the multiple matching servers 103 according to the matching information, and send the matching information to the target matching server, for example, the matching information may include the player's score, and the routing server 102 may determine the target matching server from the multiple matching servers according to the player's score.

After receiving the matching information sent by the routing server, the target matching server can complete the matching operation according to the method in the prior art.

Through the game server cluster, the routing server can select any one matching server from the plurality of matching servers to perform matching operation, so that full-service matching of players can be realized, and game experience of the players is improved.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of another game server cluster according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the game server cluster 10 further includes a battle server 104, the battle server 104 is connected to the routing server 102, the game server 101 runs on a plurality of game server processes, the routing server 102 runs on a plurality of routing server processes, the matching server 103 runs on a plurality of matching server processes, and the battle server 104 runs on a plurality of battle server processes.

The game server process is used for receiving the matching request message sent by the game terminal, acquiring the matching information according to the matching request message and sending the matching information to the routing server process;

the route server process is used for determining a target matching server process from a plurality of matching server processes according to the matching information and sending the matching information to the target matching server process;

the target matching server process is used for carrying out matching processing according to the matching information to obtain a matching result and sending the matching result to the routing server process, wherein the matching result comprises information of a matched player matched with the player;

the route server process is also used for sending the matching result to the game server process;

the game server process is further configured to send the matching result to the game terminal.

It should be noted that, the game server process in the whole game processing process is the same, that is, the game server process receiving the matching request message sent by the game terminal is the same as the game server process receiving the matching result information.

After receiving the matching operation triggered by the player through the game terminal, the game terminal can determine a game server process from a plurality of game server processes through a method in the prior art, and send a matching request message to the game server process. The game server process may obtain matching information corresponding to the player after receiving the matching request message sent by the game terminal, and then the game server process may determine whether the player satisfies a matching precondition, and may send the matching information to the routing server process under a condition that it is determined that the player satisfies the matching precondition.

In a possible implementation manner, before sending the matching information to the route server process, the game server process may determine a target route server process from the multiple route server processes through a consistent hash algorithm according to the identification information of the player in the matching request message, and send the matching information to the target route server process, so that it may be ensured that the multiple matching information in a period of time is evenly distributed to the multiple route server processes.

After receiving the matching information sent by the game server process, the route server process can acquire the current load states of the multiple matching server processes, and determine the target matching server process from the multiple matching server processes according to the matching information and the multiple current load states. Wherein the current load state comprises a burst full state, a busy state, a normal state and an idle state.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure may mark the current load status at 4 bits, for example, when the current load status includes an idle status, the 1 st bit is 1, when the current load status includes a normal status, the 2 nd bit is 1, when the current load status includes a busy status, the 3 rd bit is 1, and when the current load status includes a burst full status, the 4 th bit is 1. Thus, the current load status may include 16 possibilities for which the route server process may determine the target server process from a plurality of matching server processes via a pre-set routing scheme.

The routing scheme may include:

under the condition that the plurality of current load states comprise the normal state, determining the target matching server process from the matching server processes in the normal state according to the matching information; for example, the matching server process closest to the player's score among the matching server processes in the normal state may be taken as the target matching server process;

taking the matching server process with the largest number of players in the matching server processes in the idle state as the target matching server process under the condition that the plurality of current load states comprise the idle state and do not comprise the normal state;

determining the target matching server process from the matching server processes in the busy state according to the matching information under the condition that the current load states include the busy state and do not include the normal state and the idle state; for example, the matching server process closest to the player's score among the matching server processes in the busy state may be taken as the target matching server process;

under the condition that the plurality of current load states only include the explosion state, taking the matching server process with the minimum load in the matching server processes in the explosion state as the target matching server process; for example, the matching server process with the least number of players in the matching server process in the explosion state may be used as the target matching server process.

Illustratively, when the matching information includes the points of the player, table 1 is a corresponding relationship between the current load state and the routing scheme, and the routing scheme corresponding to the current load state can be quickly obtained by looking up the table, and the players can be gathered to the greatest extent, and the loads can be relatively balanced, so as to achieve the effects of quick matching and load balancing at the same time.

And if the target matching server process is an invalid process or the matching information cannot be sent to the target matching server process, determining whether the sending times of sending the matching information is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold value. In the case that the number of times of transmission is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold, the route server process may transmit error information to the game server process, and the game server process may transmit the error information to the game terminal; in the case where the number of times of transmission is less than the preset number threshold, the route server process may re-determine the target matching server process and transmit the matching information to the new target matching server process. If the matching information is not successfully sent within the preset time period, the route server process may end the matching process.

The route server process is further configured to determine a connection matching server process connected to the route server process from the plurality of matching server processes before determining the target matching server process from the plurality of matching server processes according to the matching information and the plurality of current load states; and determining the target matching server process from the connection matching server process according to the matching information and the current load state of the connection matching server process.

the game server process, the matching server process and the battle server process are also used for periodically obtaining the routing connection information from the preset database, determining an available routing server process from a plurality of routing server processes according to the routing connection information and establishing connection with the available routing server process according to the connection information.

The preset database may be a Redis database, and for each route server process, after the route server process is started, the registration information may be written into the preset database, where the registration information may include a route server process identifier, a port, an IP, last update time, and the like, and the route server process may periodically update the update time in the preset database. After the game server process, the matching server process and the battle server process are started, a routing list can be periodically obtained from the preset database, and connection is established with the corresponding routing server process according to the routing list. The routing list may include route server processes that are capable of establishing connections.

Wherein the routing connection information may include an update time and a running state, and the game server process is further configured to:

determining the route server process as the available route server process under the condition that the time difference between the updating time of the route server process and the current time is less than or equal to a preset difference threshold value;

determining the route server process as the available route server process under the condition that the running state of the route server process is the starting state;

a target route server process is determined from the available route server processes and the match request message is sent to the target route server process.

For the newly added route server process, the route server process can also write the registration information into the preset database, so that other server processes can identify the route server process and establish connection with the route server process.

The newly added matching server process and the combat server process can be actively connected with the routing server process after being started, so that the newly added matching server process and the combat server process can be added into the game server cluster in a short time, and dynamic capacity expansion of the server process is realized.

After the route server process is closed, the registration information in the preset database can be updated, so that the route list acquired by the game server process, the matching server process and the battle server process does not contain the closed route server process.

After the matching server process and the battle server process are closed, the matching server process and the battle server process can be disconnected, so that the routing server process can not distribute loads to the closed matching server process and the closed battle server process, and dynamic capacity reduction of the server process can be realized.

It should be noted that, after the newly added route server process joins the game server cluster, it needs to establish connection with other server processes and obtain the current load states of other server processes, and after the newly added route server process obtains the current load states of most server processes (for example, 80% of server processes), it may be added into the route list, so that other server processes may establish connection with the newly added route server process through the route list.

Fig. 4 is a schematic connection setup diagram according to an exemplary embodiment, where as shown in fig. 4, the battle server process (BattleServer) and the matching server process (CrossServer) are integrated to query Redis for a newly added route server process (RouteServer) and establish a connection with the newly added route server process, and the route server process may update data to Redis at startup.

When the route server process manages the matching server process, the current load state of the matching server process needs to be acquired, and reasonable distribution is performed according to the current load state. In a possible implementation manner, the matching server process is further configured to obtain an information quantity of matching information newly added within a preset time period; sending the real-time load information of the matching server process to the routing server process under the condition that the information quantity is greater than or equal to a preset quantity threshold; the route server process is also used for determining the current load state of the matching server process according to the real-time load information.

For example, the matching server process may obtain new matching information allocated every second, store the new matching information in a circular queue, obtain a time difference between a current time and a last recording time after adding the matching information every time, accumulate the newly added matching information every second into a proper slot, and clear or overwrite out-dated data. Thus, the information quantity of the new matching information distributed at the current second and the new matching information distributed at each second in the past several seconds (smaller than the size of the queue and can be set to be 5 seconds) can be obtained through the circular queue. And if the information quantity of the new matching information distributed at the current second is greater than or equal to a preset quantity threshold value, immediately initiating load synchronization and sending the real-time load information to the route server process.

The synchronization interval can be determined according to the number of the new matching information distributed per second on average, and the larger the number of the new matching information distributed per second on average, the smaller the time interval for reporting the real-time load information by the matching server process.

When the route server process sends the matching information to the matching server process, the situation that a plurality of route server processes send the matching information to the same matching server process may occur, so that the matching server process is full of explosions. In a possible implementation manner, the route server process is further configured to obtain pre-allocation load information, and determine the current load state according to the real-time load information and the pre-allocation load information.

The routing server process can obtain a pre-distribution field, the number of distribution sources and a preset distribution coefficient, wherein the pre-distribution field comprises matching requests which are distributed to the matching server process by the routing server process and are not processed by the matching server process, and the distribution sources comprise routing server processes connected with the matching server process; and taking the product of the pre-distribution field, the number of the distribution sources and the preset distribution coefficient as the pre-distribution load information.

After the pre-distribution load information is determined, the sum of the real-time load information and the pre-distribution load information can be used as the current load state of the matching server process, so that the routing server process can be distributed to the matching server process, and the matching request which is not processed by the matching server process is considered in the current load state of the matching server process, so that the load distribution mode of the game server cluster is safer, and the experience of a player is further improved.

It should be noted that, when the combat uniform server process reports the current load state to the route server process, the method for reporting the current load state to the route server process by referring to the matching server process may be referred to, and details are not repeated herein.

The interaction among a plurality of processes is involved in the game server cluster, the process interaction time is long, and each process is required to maintain respective state information in the game process so as to avoid influencing the battle flow. In a possible implementation manner, a first server process is used to send state information to a second server process, where the first server process is a server process that processes a game task at the current time among the game server process, the routing server process, the matching server process, and the combat server process, and the second server process includes the game server process, the routing server process, the matching server process, and a server process other than the first server process among the combat server processes; the second server process is used for updating the state according to the state information after receiving the state information sent by the first server process; or under the condition that the state information sent by the first server process is not received within the preset time length threshold value range, the game process is terminated.

For example, the present disclosure may set a sequence number, increment the sequence number by 1 each time a new match is started, and may carry the sequence number in the process of sending information by different processes. Therefore, different battle fields can be distinguished, and the confusion of the battle data of different fields is avoided.

In the game process, the first server process may be a master process for periodically sending status information to the second server process, so that the second server process can perform status update according to the status information. And if the first server process does not receive the state synchronization return information sent by the second server process within a preset time period, the state synchronization return information indicates that the states of the plurality of server processes are not synchronous, the resource recovery can be carried out, and the state of the player is set to be an idle state. If the second server process does not receive the state information sent by the first server process within the preset time period, or the state information received by the second server process for multiple times is inconsistent, the states of the multiple server processes are asynchronous, the corresponding state flow and information cleaning can be carried out, and meanwhile, the player is informed that the game process is terminated, and the game process can be restarted.

It should be noted that, in the interaction process of the multiple server processes of the present disclosure, disaster tolerance and fault tolerance processing may be performed on the transmitted information, for example, integrity and disorder of the information may be processed, for example, when it is determined that the information is lost or is out of order, the information may be retransmitted; the disaster recovery processing may also be performed when the server is down, for example, other server processes may be monitored by the route server process, and after the matching server process or the combat server process is down, error information may be sent to the game server process, and the game server process may notify the player according to the error information. Therefore, the player can be ensured to be quickly recovered from the abnormal state caused by downtime, and correct prompt information is received, so that the user experience is further improved.

S602, determining a target matching server process from a plurality of matching server processes according to the matching information through the routing server process.

In this step, before determining a target matching server process from the multiple matching server processes according to the matching information, the current load states of the multiple matching server processes may be obtained through the routing server process, and then the target matching server process may be determined from the multiple matching server processes according to the matching information and the multiple current load states.

Wherein the current load state comprises a burst full state, a busy state, a normal state and an idle state. In a possible implementation manner, in a case that the idle state is included in a plurality of current load states and the normal state is not included, the matching server process with the largest number of players in the matching server processes in the idle state is taken as the target matching server process; determining the target matching server process from the matching server processes in the busy state according to the matching information under the condition that the current load states include the busy state and do not include the normal state and the idle state; and in the case that the plurality of current load states only comprise the explosion state, taking the matching server process with the minimum load in the matching server processes of the explosion state as the target matching server process.

Before determining the target matching server process from the multiple matching server processes according to the matching information and the multiple current load states, a connection matching server process connected with the routing server process may be determined from the multiple matching server processes, and then the target matching server process may be determined from the connection matching server process according to the matching information and the current load states of the connection matching server process.

S603, the matching information is sent to the target matching server process through the routing server process, so that the target matching server process carries out matching operation according to the matching information.

By adopting the method, the route server process can be matched with the plurality of matching server processes according to the current load states of the plurality of matching server processes to obtain the target matching server process, so that full-service matching of the player can be realized, the matching accuracy is higher, and the game experience of the player is improved.
