Method of processing user gesture input in online game

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of processing a user gesture input in an online game. The method of processing the user gesture input in the online game performed through a mobile terminal on which a touch-drag input is possible according to an embodiment of the present invention may minimize the touches needed for performing efficient and fast manipulation, may enhance game controlling sensations, and may provide a pleasant view when a user plays the online game by using his/her mobile terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of handling user gesture input in an online game. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid popularization of mobile terminals, such as smartphones and tablet computers, the mobile game market has grown significantly. In the early stages, the quality of the game was poor due to limitations in terminal performance. However, although current terminals provide sufficient CPU and graphics performance, it is difficult to play online games using mobile terminals due to lack of sufficient user interfaces such as keyboards and mice. [0003] A mobile terminal employing a full touch screen has been introduced, and the mobile terminal displays a virtual keyboard screen, virtual arrow keys, and virtual operation keys on the touch screen without requiring a separate keyboard. However, such a virtual user interface occupies a plurality of parts of a display screen of a small-sized mobile terminal, ther...

Problems solved by technology

However, such a virtual user interface occupies many parts of the display screen of the small-sized mobile terminal, thereby cutting off the user's field of view and the playing screen of the online game.

[0004] At the same time, although the gesture system has been applied to various applications and functions with the popularization and development of smart phones or tablet computers, the gesture system is limitedly applied to online systems due to technical limitations.

For example, in online games including massively multiplayer online role-playing games (hereinafter referred to as "MMORPG"), it is necessary to continuously check the status of characters or monsters and detect input gestures, so it is difficult to apply the gesture system to online games

In addition, since the 3D movement of the character is embodied using the touch-drag input, it is difficult to distinguish the touch-drag input for moving the character from the touch-drag input for applying the skill of the character
