Abstract

This application discloses a method for creating a virtual organization in a target game application performed by an electronic device. The method includes: acquiring an organization identifier of a target virtual organization to be created by a first game account; determining, in a preset virtual region set, a target virtual region matching a first IP address used by the first game account to log into the target game application, which is a virtual region to which a country or an administrative region in which the first IP address is located is mapped; creating the target virtual organization located in the target virtual region in response to a creation instruction triggered by the first game account; and displaying the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and attribute information of the target virtual region, including a language used by a game account in the virtual organization created in the target virtual region.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for creating a virtual organization in a target game application, performed by an electronic device, and the method comprising:
acquiring an instruction for creating a target virtual organization, the instruction including an organization identifier of the target virtual organization corresponding to a first game account; determining, in a preset virtual region set, a target virtual region matching a first IP address used by the first game account to log into the target game application, the target virtual region being a virtual region to which a country or an administrative region in which the first IP address is located is mapped; creating the target virtual organization located in the target virtual region; and displaying the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and attribute information of the target virtual region, the attribute information comprising a language used by a game account in the virtual organization created in the target virtual region.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring an instruction for creating a target virtual organization, the instruction including an organization identifier of the target virtual organization corresponding to a first game account comprises:
displaying a creation interface in the target game application to which the first game account has logged in, the creation interface comprising an identifier input region for inputting the organization identifier of the target virtual organization; and acquiring the input organization identifier of the target virtual organization from the identifier input region on the creation interface.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying the attribute information of the target virtual region on the creation interface.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and attribute information of the target virtual region comprises:
displaying the first game account, the organization identifier of the target virtual organization, and the attribute information of the target virtual region; marking the first game account as a creator of the target virtual organization; setting the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region being to be visible to a game account in the target virtual region or visible to game accounts in one or more virtual regions in the virtual region set.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining, in the virtual region set, a virtual region matching a second IP address used by a second game account to log into the target game application; and when the virtual region matching the second IP address is the target virtual region, displaying the identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region in the target game application to which the second game account has logged in.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining, in the virtual region set, a virtual region matching a third IP address used by a third game account to log into the target game application; and when the virtual region matching the third IP address is not the target virtual region and the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region are set to be visible to a game account in the virtual region matching the third IP address, displaying the identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region in the target game application to which the third game account has logged in.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, in a preset virtual region set, a target virtual region matching a first IP address used by the first game account to log into the target game application comprises:
determining a target login location of the first game account based on the first IP address used by the first game account to log in to the target game application; and determining, in the virtual region set, the target virtual region corresponding to the target login location based on a correspondence between each virtual region in the virtual region set and one or more login locations.

8 . An electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program that, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to perform a method for creating a virtual organization in a target game application, the method including:
acquiring an instruction for creating a target virtual organization, the instruction including an organization identifier of the target virtual organization corresponding to a first game account; determining, in a preset virtual region set, a target virtual region matching a first IP address used by the first game account to log into the target game application, the target virtual region being a virtual region to which a country or an administrative region in which the first IP address is located is mapped; creating the target virtual organization located in the target virtual region; and displaying the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and attribute information of the target virtual region, the attribute information comprising a language used by a game account in the virtual organization created in the target virtual region.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the acquiring an instruction for creating a target virtual organization, the instruction including an organization identifier of the target virtual organization corresponding to a first game account comprises:
displaying a creation interface in the target game application to which the first game account has logged in, the creation interface comprising an identifier input region for inputting the organization identifier of the target virtual organization; and acquiring the input organization identifier of the target virtual organization from the identifier input region on the creation interface.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying the attribute information of the target virtual region on the creation interface.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the displaying the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and attribute information of the target virtual region comprises:
displaying the first game account, the organization identifier of the target virtual organization, and the attribute information of the target virtual region; marking the first game account as a creator of the target virtual organization; setting the organization identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region being to be visible to a game account in the target virtual region or visible to game accounts in one or more virtual regions in the virtual region set.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining, in the virtual region set, a virtual region matching a second IP address used by a second game account to log into the target game application; and when the virtual region matching the second IP address is the target virtual region, displaying the identifier of the target virtual organization and the attribute information of the target virtual region in the target game application to which the second game account has logged i
