Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device for minimizing and/or reducing a delay occurring in transmitting a game command input to a game server by separating a process dedicated to inputting a game command, in a cloud game environment.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a communication unit comprising communication circuitry configured to transmit/receive data to/from a game server or an input device comprising input circuitry through a network;
- a display unit comprising a display;
- an audio output unit comprising audio output circuitry;
- memory storing at least one program;
- and
- at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, electrically connected to the display unit, the audio output unit, the memory, and/or the communication unit and individually and/or collectively configured to execute at least one instruction of the program stored in the memory,
- wherein at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to, based on obtaining an event for selecting a game application, execute a game driving module and transfer, by the game driving module, game authentication information requesting a credential to the game server through the communication unit, and
- wherein the game driving module is configured to, based on recognizing that a game corresponding to the event starts, generate an input offloading module to transfer an input from the input device to the game server through the communication unit and provide delegation information necessary for transferring the input to the game server, to the input offloading module.

A method for providing a game function in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- based on obtaining an event for selecting a game application, executing a game driving module;
- transferring game authentication information requesting a credential to a game server, by the game driving module;
- based on recognizing that a game corresponding to the event starts, generating an input offloading module, by the game driving module;
- providing delegation information to the input offloading module, by the game driving module;
- and
- transferring an input to the game server using the delegation information, by the input offloading module.
3 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a communication unit comprising communication circuitry configured to transmit/receive data to/from a server or an input device comprising input circuitry;
- memory storing at least one program;
- and
- at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operatively connected with the memory, and/or the communication unit and individually and/or collectively configured to execute at least one instruction of the program stored in the memory,
- wherein at least one processor includes a driving process configured to execute an application and an input offloading process configured to process input from the input device in response to execution of the application,
- wherein at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to:
- obtain, by the driving processor, connection information with the input device and authentication information with the server;
- transmit, by the driving processor, the connection information and the authentication information to the input offloading process;
- receive, by the input offloading process, input data from the input device based on the connection information;
- and
- transmit, by the input offloading process, the input data to the server based on the authentication information.
