Abstract

An interactive application processing method is described. A selection of an online interactive activity by a user is received in an interactive application. The online interactive activity is associated with an offline interactive activity. According to a past performance result, a determination is made, by circuitry of an interactive application apparatus, as to whether the user qualifies to participate in the offline interactive activity. When the user is determined to qualify to participate in the offline interactive activity, identity information of the user is acquired. A certificate is generated based on the identity information for allowing the user to participate in the offline interactive activity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An interactive application processing method, comprising:
receiving a selection of an online interactive activity by a user in an interactive application, the online interactive activity being associated with an offline interactive activity that is performed without the interactive application;
determining, by circuitry of an interactive application apparatus, according to a performance result in the online interactive activity, whether the user qualifies to participate in the offline interactive activity;
acquiring, when the user is determined to qualify to participate in the offline interactive activity, identity information of the user;
generating an electronic certificate based on the identity information for allowing the user to participate in the offline interactive activity; and
applying virtual resources obtained by participation in the offline interactive activity with the electronic certificate to virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving the virtual resources obtained by the user participating in the offline interactive activity from a server; and
displaying, in the interactive application, the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application, and the user using the virtual resources obtained in the offline interactive activity to participate in the online interactive activity.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises:
determining a skill level of the user according to historical data of the user in the interactive application;
presenting an activity list to the user according to the skill level, the activity list including a plurality of online interactive activities that match the skill level of the user, and the plurality of online interactive activities including the online interactive activity; and
receiving a selection instruction from the user, the selection instruction indicating the selection of the online interactive activity from the activity list.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises:
deducting a preset number of the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application from an account of the interactive application associated with the user, the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application including the virtual resources obtained by the user participating in the offline interactive activity; and
determining that the user qualifies to participate in the online interactive activity after completing the deduction of the preset number of the virtual resources.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying a reminder within a predetermined time period before the online interactive activity begins, the reminder indicating a starting time of the online interactive activity.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a unique identity according to the identity information, the unique identity including a two-dimensional barcode; and
determining whether the user is allowed to connect to the offline interactive activity based on the two-dimensional barcode.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an activity viewing instruction from the user; and
displaying a plurality of online interactive activities and a starting time of each of the plurality of online interactive activities in the interactive application according to the activity viewing instruction, the plurality of online interactive activities including the online interactive activity.

8. An interactive application processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive a selection of an online interactive activity by a user in an interactive application, the online interactive activity being associated with an offline interactive activity that is performed without the interactive application;
determine according to a performance result in the online interactive activity, whether the user qualifies to participate in the offline interactive activity;
acquire, when the user is determined to qualify to participate in the offline interactive activity, identity information of the user;
generate an electronic certificate based on the identity information for allowing the user to participate in the offline interactive activity; and
apply virtual resources obtained by participation in the offline interactive activity with the electronic certificate to virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
receive the virtual resources obtained by the user participating in the offline interactive activity from a server; and
display, in the interactive application, the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application, and the user using the virtual resources obtained in the offline interactive activity to participate in the online interactive activity.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
determine a skill level of the user according to historical data of the user in the interactive application;
present an activity list to the user according to the skill level, the activity list including a plurality of online interactive activities that match the skill level of the user, and the plurality of online interactive activities including the online interactive activity; and
receive a selection instruction from the user, the selection instruction indicating the selection of the online interactive activity from the activity list.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to deduct a preset number of the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application from an account of the interactive application associated with the user, the virtual resources available to the user in the interactive application including the virtual resources obtained by the user participating in the offline interactive activity; and
determine that the user qualifies to participate in the online interactive activity after completing the deduction of the preset number of the virtual resources.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to display a reminder within a predetermined time period before the online interactive activity begins, the reminder indicating a starting time of the online interactive activity.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
generate a unique identity according to the identity information, the unique identity including a two-dimensional barcode; and
determine whether the user is allowed to connect to the offline interactive activity based on the two-dimensional barcode.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
receive an activity viewing instruction from the user; and
display a plurality of online interactive activities and a starting time of each of the plurality of online interactive activities in the interactive application according to the activity viewing instruction, the plurality of online interactive activities including the online interactive activity.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executable by a processor to perform:
receiving a selection of an online interactive activity by a user in an interactive application, the online interactive activity
