Display control method and device

摘要

The current invention discloses methods and devices that provide controlled randomization of the progression of an application program on one or more terminals connected to a server. The server may feed a seed random number to the terminals and the seed random number may be used by a platform-independent random number generator to produce random numbers. The random numbers may be fed to platform-dependent random processing commands to generate display contents, which may be displayed by the terminals. With such implementations, the same program running at different times may have different processes and show different display contents. The current invention reduces predictability and improves randomness and excitability of the program.

1. A method for controlling a display on a first terminal connected to a server through a network, the method comprising:
at the first terminal having one or more processors and memory storing programs executed by the one or more processors,
receiving a seed random number from the server;initializing a platform-independent random number generator based on the seed random number;running an application program installed on the first terminal;monitoring the operation of the application program;when the application program invokes a first platform-dependent random-processing command, using the platform-independent random number generator to generate a first random number based on the seed random number;performing the first platform-dependent random-processing command using the first random number to generate display contents corresponding to the first random number;displaying the display contents;when the application program invokes a second platform-dependent random-processing command, using the platform-independent random number generator to generate a second random number based on the first random number;performing the second platform-dependent random-processing command using the second random number to generate display contents corresponding to the second random number; anddisplaying the display contents.
