Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for online gaming. For example, an application-participation request is received from a user before a game is released; an application-participation process of the game is entered; an application-participation record of the user is saved; and the application-participation record is sent to the user when the game is released.

Claims

1. A data-processing method for online gaming, the method comprising:

receiving an application-participation request from a user before a game is released;

entering an application-participation process of the game;

saving an application-participation record of the user; and

sending the application-participation record to the user when the game is released.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the saving an application-participation record of the user includes:

determining whether the user obtains predetermined application-participation result data based on at least information associated with first application-participation data of the user; and

in response to the user obtaining the predetermined application-participation result data, saving the predetermined application-participation result data.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining whether an application-participation-result database includes a limited quantity of application-participation results based on at least information associated with the predetermined application-participation result data;

in response to the application-participation-result database including a limited quantity of application-participation results, confirming that one or more first application-participation results of the user correspond to the limited quantity of application-participation results; and

in response to the application-participation-result database not including a limited quantity of application-participation results, confirming that the first application-participation results of the user correspond to the predetermined application-participation result data.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the saving an application-participation record of the user includes;

saving the application-participation record of the user in a predetermined first database; and

the sending the application-participation record to the user when the game is released includes;

extracting the application-participation record of the user from the predetermined first database; and

sending the application-participation record of the user to the user.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending the application-participation record of the user to the user:

determining whether the user has the application-participation record based on login information of the user when the game is released;

in response to the user having the application-participation record, notifying the user to obtain one or more first application-participation results;

determining whether the user has created a character based on at least information associated with operating data after the user has logged in;

in response to the user having created a character, sending predetermined application-participation result data corresponding to the application-participation record; and

in response to the user having not created a character, notifying the user to create a character.

6. A data-processing device for online gaming, the device comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive an application-participation request from a user before a game is released;

an entering unit configured to enter an application-participation process of the game;

a saving unit configured to save an application-participation record of the user; and

a sending unit configured to send the application-participation record to the user when the game is released.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the saving unit includes:

a first determination module configured to determine whether the user obtains predetermined application-participation result data based on at least information associated with first application-participation data of the user; and

a saving module configured to, in response to the user obtaining the predetermined application-participation result data, save the predetermined application-participation result data.

8. The device of claim 7, further comprising:

a determination unit configured to determine whether an application-participation-result database includes a limited quantity of application-participation results based on at least information associated with the predetermined application-participation result data; and

a confirmation unit configured to;

in response to the application-participation-result database including a limited quantity of application-participation results, confirm that one or more first application-participation results of the user correspond to the limited quantity of application-participation results; and

in response to the application-participation-result database not including a limited quantity of application-participation results, confirm that the first application-participation results of the user correspond to the predetermined application-participation result data.

9. The device of claim 6, wherein:

the saving unit is further configured to save the application-participation record of the user in a predetermined first database; and

the sending unit includes;

an extraction module configured to extract the application-participation record of the user from the predetermined first database; and

a sending module configured to send the application-participation record of the user to the user.

10. The device of claim 6, wherein the sending unit includes:

a second determination module configured to determine whether the user has the application-participation record based on login information of the user when the game is released;

a first notification module configured to, in response to the user having the application-participation record, notify the user to obtain one or more first application-participation results;

a third determination module configured to determine whether the user has created a character based on operating data after the user has logged in;

a sending module configured to, in response to the user having created a character, send predetermined application-participation result data corresponding to the application-participation record; and

a second notification module configured to, in response to the user having not created a character, notify the user to create a character.

11. The device of claim 6, further comprising:

one or more data processors; and

a computer-readable storage medium;

wherein the receiving unit, the entering unit, the saving unit and the sending unit are stored in the storage medium and configured to be executed by the one or more data processors.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising programming instructions for online gaming, the programming instructions configured to cause one or more data processors to execute operations comprising:

receiving an application-participation request from a user before a game is released;

entering an application-participation process of the game;

saving an application-participation record of the user; and

sending the application-participation record to the user when the game is released.
