Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and more specifically, to a screen switching method, apparatus, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] In online games, such as Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) or Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, multiple users connect to the server through their respective clients to achieve simultaneous online gameplay. Figure 1 As shown, during the game, in order to understand relevant game information, each player's client will have a target window 101 on its display interface to display game-related information, such as the minimap and the position coordinates of game units.

[0003] Existing technology introduces a game mechanism that increases the amount of information displayed in the target window 101. For example, by triggering a first action, players in the first camp can see the coordinates of their opponents (players in the second camp) on the minimap in the target window 101, thus gaining a game advantage. Correspondingly, to ensure the fairness of the game mechanism, players in the second camp must have a second action that can counteract the first action, reducing the amount of information displayed in the target window 101 of the first camp players, thereby recovering from their game disadvantage. However, there is no corresponding technical solution in the existing technology to achieve the aforementioned second action. Summary of the Invention

[0083] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0084] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0085] In online games, such as Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) or Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, multiple users connect to the server through their respective clients to achieve simultaneous online gameplay. Figure 1 As shown, during the game, in order to understand relevant game information, each player's client will have a target window 101 on its display interface to display game-related information, such as the minimap and the position coordinates of game units.

[0086] The current game introduces a game mechanic that increases the amount of information displayed in the target window 101. For example, by triggering a first action, players in the first faction can see the coordinates of their opponents (players in the second faction) on the minimap in the target window 101, thus gaining a game advantage. Correspondingly, to ensure the fairness of the game mechanic, players in the second faction must have a second action that can counteract this first action, reducing the amount of information displayed in the target window 101 of the first faction players, thereby recovering from their game disadvantage. However, there is currently no corresponding technical solution to achieve the aforementioned second action.

[0087] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a screen switching method that can change the display screen of a target window in a first client by generating a switching command from a second client. This enables remote switching control of the display screen of a target window in another client by one client, allowing players in the second faction to change the display content of the target window 101 in the terminal of players in the first faction, thus achieving the aforementioned second operation.

[0088] For ease of understanding, the screen switching method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0089] Please see Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment of the screen switching method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0090] 201. The second client responds to the trigger operation of the target control.

[0091] In this embodiment, the target control is a control displayed on the screen of the second client. This target control has two states: a triggered state and a non-triggered state. For example, in a smart terminal operated via a touchscreen, such as a mobile phone or tablet, the target control can be a button triggered by the user's touch operation. Alternatively, on a PC, the target control can be a control button triggered by mouse clicks or keyboard input. In this solution, the target control controls the operation of switching the display screen of the target window in the first client. When the user operating the second client needs to switch the display state of the target window in the first client, the target control is triggered through a trigger operation.

[0092] 202. The second client obtains the switching instruction based on the triggered operation.

[0093] In this embodiment, after the target control in the second client is triggered, the second client obtains the switching instruction corresponding to the triggering operation according to the triggering operation. The correspondence between the switching instruction and the triggering operation is pre-stored in the second client. When the second client receives the triggering operation, it can obtain the switching instruction according to the triggering operation. The switching instruction is used to instruct the second screen displayed on the target window in the first client to be switched to the first screen.

[0094] 203. The second client sends a switching command to the server.

[0095] In this embodiment, taking an online game scenario as an example, since the first client and the second client are connected to the server to play the same game, when the second client needs to intervene in the content displayed by the first client, it needs to send a request to the server, which will then perform the scheduling.

[0096] 204. The server obtains at least one first client according to the switching instruction.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the server receives a switching instruction sent by the second client, it needs to determine the first server to execute the switching instruction. The determination rule can be determined according to a certain preset rule. For example, if the game character controlled by the second client is a player of the first faction, then the game character controlled by the first client is a player of the second faction. The first faction and the second faction are opposing factions. In this case, the specific implementation method of the server obtaining at least one first client according to the switching instruction is as follows.

[0098] The server determines the first faction to which the second client that sent the switching command belongs;

[0099] The server identifies the second faction that is opposing the first faction;

[0100] The server determines that at least one client corresponding to a game character from the second faction is the first client based on the second faction.

[0101] Thus, through the above steps, the server obtains at least one first client according to the switching instruction.

[0102] 205. The server sends a switching instruction to at least one first client.

[0103] In this embodiment, after the server determines at least one first client that needs to receive the switching instruction, it sends the switching instruction to at least one respective first client to perform subsequent screen switching operations on these first clients.

[0104] 206. The first client obtains the first screen according to the switching command.

[0105] In this embodiment, when the first client receives the switching command, it knows that it needs to switch the second screen currently displayed on the target window to the first screen according to the switching command. Therefore, at this time, it needs to obtain the first screen according to the switching command. The first screen is a preset screen stored in the first client. The first client can obtain the first screen through the switching command according to the preset relationship between the preset switching command and the first screen.

[0106] 207. The first client switches the second screen displayed on the target window to the first screen.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first client has already obtained the first screen pre-stored locally according to the switching instruction. At this time, the first screen is used to replace the second screen displayed on the target window. The first screen and the second screen are different screens, thereby realizing the screen switching.

[0108] The screen switching method provided in this application includes: a first client obtaining a switching instruction sent by a server; the first client obtaining a first screen according to the switching instruction, the first screen being a preset screen; the first client switching a second screen displayed on a target window to the first screen, wherein the target window is a display window in the display interface of the first client, and the first screen and the second screen are different screens. By obtaining a user-triggered switching instruction through a second client and sending the switching instruction to the first client through a server, the first client can switch the display screen in the target window according to the switching instruction, thus realizing the switching control of the display screen in the target window on another client by one client.

[0109] It should be noted that the screen switching method provided in this application is not only applicable to game scenarios, but also to other scenarios with screen switching requirements. For example, in online video live streaming, two live streamers simultaneously conduct live video broadcasts through their respective terminals. Either live streamer can use the method provided in this application to switch the target window display in the other live streamer's screen. Or, in social software, one user can switch the screen of a specific social homepage displayed on another user's second client through a first client.

[0110] For ease of understanding, this application mainly uses a game scene as an example to illustrate the screen switching method provided in this application, but it does not constitute a limitation on the application scenarios of the screen switching method provided in this application.

[0111] Furthermore, in the gaming field, the method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to various different fields, such as multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), real-time strategy game (RTS), or first-person shooting game (FPS) in the gaming field, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0112] The following description, in conjunction with a game scenario, further illustrates the screen switching method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0113] During gameplay, the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment allows the player on the second client to change the information displayed in the target window of the first client by triggering the target control. For example, the information displayed in the target window is game map information and game unit coordinates, which makes it easier for the player on the first client to grasp the game situation. The screen switching operation can hide this information in the target window, thereby reducing the player on the first client's grasp of the game situation and giving the player on the second client a certain advantage in the game.

[0114] Therefore, for the sake of game mechanism balance, it is not allowed for players on the second client to frequently trigger the target control. To solve this problem, the method disclosed in the embodiments of this application provides the following solution, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings for ease of understanding.

[0115] Please see Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the screen switching method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0116] 301. The second client obtains the target operation.

[0117] In this embodiment, the target operation is the operation input by the user to the second client. For example, the target operation can be the number of target units killed by the player. The target unit can be an opponent or a non-player character (NPC) in the game. Optionally, the target operation can also be game time. This embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0118] 302. When the target operation meets the preset conditions, the second client switches the target control from an untriggerable state to a triggerable state.

[0119] In this embodiment, the target control will only switch from an untriggerable state to a triggerable state when the target operation meets the preset conditions. Before the target operation meets the preset conditions, the target control is in an untriggerable state, thereby limiting the conditions for triggering the target control in the second client. At the same time, it can encourage users of the second client to more actively promote the target operation to meet the preset conditions, increasing the fun of the game and making the game mechanism more balanced.

[0120] For example, if the target action is to kill an opponent, and the preset condition is the number of opponents killed (e.g., 5 opponents killed), then in the second client, the target control cannot be triggered when the user kills fewer than 5 opponents. When the user kills 5 or more opponents, the target control becomes triggerable. When the user triggers the target control to perform a screen switching operation after killing 5 opponents, the target control becomes untriggerable again until the user kills another 5 opponents, at which point the target control becomes triggerable again. This cycle repeats until the game ends.

[0121] Alternatively, the target operation can be time, and the preset condition can be a time period, such as 120 seconds. In this case, when the game starts, the user in the second client cannot trigger the target control within 120 seconds. When the game time reaches 120 seconds, the target control changes from an untriggerable state to a triggerable state. After the user triggers the target control to perform a screen switching operation at the first moment, the target control becomes untriggerable again within 120 seconds from the first moment until the end of the 120 seconds. This cycle repeats until the game ends.

[0122] Subsequent steps 303 to 309 can be found in steps 201 to 207 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0123] In this embodiment, by setting preset conditions for the target operation, the triggerable state of the target control is restricted, so that the target control can only be triggered when the target operation meets the preset conditions. This restricts the conditions for using the screen switching method in the game and balances the game mechanism.

[0124] Furthermore, the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment can be offered as an optional skill for the user to choose during gameplay. That is, at the start of the game, the game provides a skill library for the user to select skills that can be carried in each game. The user selects a subset of skills from the skill library as their skills for that game. For example, if the game skill library provides 30 skills, each providing a specific game operation effect, and each game only allows players to carry 3 skills, then at the start of each game, the player needs to select 3 skills from these 30 skills to begin the game. The screen switching method provided in this application embodiment is one of these 30 skills and requires user selection before it can appear on the game interface as a skill carried by the player.

[0125] To facilitate understanding, the following detailed explanation of this situation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0126] Please see Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, Embodiment 3 of the screen switching method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0127] 401. The second client obtains the first request.

[0128] In this embodiment, the first request is used to request the display of the target control on the second client, and may specifically include the following steps.

[0129] 1. The second client displays a list of controls, which includes multiple controls, and the target control is among these multiple controls.

[0130] 2. The second client responds to the user's selection operation, which is used to select the control to be displayed in the game interface from the control list, and is initiated by the user.

[0131] 3. The second client generates a first request based on the selection operation. In this embodiment, for example, if the user selects a target control through the selection operation, the first request is used to request the target control during the game.

[0132] 402. The second client sends the first request to the server.

[0133] In this embodiment, since the game is an online game and the game logic runs on the server, the first request needs to be sent to the server to obtain the server's confirmation.

[0134] 403. The server assigns the first permission to the second client based on the first request.

[0135] In this embodiment, the first permission is used to enable the second client to display the target control in the display interface.

[0136] 404. The second client displays the target control in the display screen according to the first permission.

[0137] In this embodiment, the second client displays the target control on the display screen according to the first permission, so that after entering the game, the user's skill bar has the target control, and the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment can be executed.

[0138] Subsequent steps 405 to 413 can be found in steps 301 to 309 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0139] In this embodiment, through the interaction between the second client and the server, the screen switching method provided in this application becomes an optional skill in the game process, enriching the gameplay. Optionally, in the above steps, the second client can also directly generate the first permission based on the first request locally, then add the target control to the display interface, and finally report the result of the operation to the server, thereby omitting the intermediate permission allocation interaction steps. This embodiment does not limit which of these two solutions is chosen for implementation.

[0140] It should be noted that, as described above, the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment, when applied to a game, can give one party the advantage of blocking the other party from obtaining game information. In order to ensure game balance, this advantage cannot exist indefinitely, otherwise it will affect the fairness of the other party's game. Therefore, the display time of the first screen needs to have a certain duration. In this regard, this application embodiment provides the following technical solution.

[0141] To facilitate understanding, the following detailed explanation of this situation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0142] Please see Figure 5 ,like Figure 5 As shown, Embodiment 4 of the screen switching method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0143] Steps 501 to 508 can be referred to steps 401 to 408 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0144] 509. The second client displays the first information on the display interface.

[0145] In this embodiment, after step 509 is completed, the second client sends a switching command to the server. At this time, the second client will know that the target window in the first client will immediately display the first screen. At this time, the first information needs to be displayed on the display interface. The first information is a prompt message so that the user knows that the screen displayed on the target window of the first client has been switched to the first screen.

[0146] Steps 510 to 512 can be found in 409 to 411 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0147] 513. The first client switches the second screen displayed on the target window to the first screen within a preset time period.

[0148] In this embodiment, the preset time period is a time period of preset duration, which is preset by the game developer in the first client during the game development process. When the first client obtains the first screen according to the switching instruction, it can display the first screen on the target window according to the preset time period.

[0149] 514. After the preset time period ends, the first client restores the display of the second screen on the target window.

[0150] In this embodiment, after the preset time period ends, the first client resumes displaying the second screen on the target window. The second screen displays the first client's operational information, while the first screen masks this information (e.g., the second screen displays the game's map information, while the first screen displays a blank, snowy screen). During the preset time period, this snowy screen prevents the first client user from accessing game information, creating a disadvantage in the game. After the preset time period ends, this disadvantage ceases, thus controlling the playback duration of the first screen and achieving game fairness.

[0151] 515. The first client sends a termination command to the server.

[0152] In this embodiment, the first client notifies the server that the display of the first screen has ended by ending the command, that is, the screen displayed in the target window of the first client has been switched back to the second screen.

[0153] 516. The server sends a termination command to the second client.

[0154] In this embodiment, when the server receives the termination command, it forwards the termination command to the second client so that the first client is aware of the current playback status of the screen in the target window of the first client.

[0155] 517. The second client displays the second information on the display interface according to the termination command.

[0156] In this embodiment, the second information is used to indicate that the screen displayed on the target window of the first client is the second screen. That is, the second information is used to notify the user that the content displayed on the target window of the first client has been switched back from the first screen to the second screen.

[0157] In this embodiment, through the above-described embodiments, the second client learns the display status of the target window screen in the first client by sending and receiving instructions, and then displays the display information of the target window screen in the first client on the display screen through notification messages, so that the user can know the current screen switching status.

[0158] As described above, the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment can be used in game scenarios. The following uses a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) shooting game as an example to describe in detail the implementation of the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment in a specific usage environment.

[0159] To facilitate understanding, the following detailed explanation of this situation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0160] Please see Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 As shown, Embodiment 5 of the screen switching method provided in this application includes the following steps.

[0161] 601. The second client displays the equipment selection interface through a display window.

[0162] In this embodiment, the equipment selection interface is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The equipment selection interface is used before entering the game. Users select the equipment they want to bring into the game through this interface. 701 is the selectable equipment bar in the equipment selection interface. Among them, 7011 "counter-reconnaissance aircraft" is the target control provided in the embodiment of this application. By triggering the target control, the small map displayed on the opponent's target window is switched to a snow screen, thereby blocking the opponent from obtaining game map information and playing the role of "counter-reconnaissance".

[0163] 602. The second client responds to the user's selection and displays the target control in the game interface.

[0164] In this embodiment, the user selects "counter-reconnaissance aircraft" as the equipment to carry in this game by making a selection operation. Figure 7 In equipment slot 702, you can see the equipment already selected for this round. At this point, after entering the game interface, the "Counter-Reconnaissance Aircraft" equipment will be displayed as the aforementioned target control in the user's interface. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 ,like Figure 8 As shown, in the game interface, the skill operation bar displays target control 801, which is the control corresponding to the "anti-reconnaissance aircraft" equipment. Triggering the target control can execute the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment.

[0165] For details on the implementation of steps 601 to 602 above, please refer to steps 401 to 404 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0166] 603. The second client determines whether the preset conditions for activating the target control have been met based on the target operation.

[0167] In this embodiment, the target control is activated, that is, the target control is switched from a non-triggerable state to a triggerable state, such as... Figure 8 As shown, at the beginning of the game, the target control 801 is displayed in gray to inform the user that the target control is currently unclickable, that is, the function corresponding to the "anti-reconnaissance aircraft" equipment cannot be called. When the user's target operation reaches the preset conditions, such as the number of opponents killed reaching the preset value, the preset conditions are judged to have been met.

[0168] 604. When the target operation meets the preset conditions, the second client switches the target control from an untriggerable state to a triggerable state.

[0169] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, when the target operation meets the preset conditions, the display color of the target control 801 changes from gray to yellow and is highlighted to prompt the user that the current target control can be triggered.

[0170] The specific implementation methods of steps 603 to 604 above can be found in steps 301 to 302 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0171] 605. The second client responds to the trigger operation of the target control.

[0172] In this embodiment, when the user triggers the target control during the game, the second client responds to the triggering operation.

[0173] 606. The second client plays the preset animation.

[0174] In this embodiment, when the user triggers the target control, the second client plays a preset animation on the display interface. This preset animation is used to inform the user that the operation corresponding to the current target control has been triggered. The animation effect of the preset animation can be as follows: Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the equipment held by the user-controlled game character is... Figure 8 Item 802 in the middle is switched to Figure 9 The command input device 901 is shown in the video, followed by an animation of the game character inputting commands on the numeric keypad of the command input device 901 to simulate the effect of the game character calling a counter-reconnaissance aircraft through the command input device.

[0175] 607. The second client sends the switching command to the server.

[0176] In this embodiment, while the preset animation is playing or after the animation has finished playing, the second client sends a switching command to the server to trigger the screen switching method provided in this application embodiment.

[0177] 608. The second client displays the first information on the display interface.

[0178] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step 608 can be found in step 509 above, and will not be repeated here. The display method of the first information is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the first message "Counter-reconnaissance aircraft is in operation" is displayed through the information prompt bar 1001, so that the user of the second client knows that the skills provided by the "counter-reconnaissance aircraft" equipment are currently in effect, and the small map information in the opponent's target window is blocked.

[0179] 608. The server forwards the switching instruction to the first client.

[0180] In this embodiment, the operation of the server forwarding switching instruction can be referred to steps 204 to 205 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0181] 609. The first client obtains the first screen according to the switching command.

[0182] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step 609 can be found in step 206 above, and will not be repeated here. In specific operation, as follows: Figure 11 As shown, during the game development process, the game developers pre-store the "snow screen" 1101 as the first screen in the first client, and the first client can obtain the first screen through the switching command.

[0183] 610. The first client switches the second screen displayed on the target window to the first screen within a preset time period.

[0184] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step 610 can be found in step 513 above, and will not be repeated here. In actual operation, the switching of the display screen on the target window is as follows: Figures 12 to 13 As shown, Figure 12 As shown, during gameplay, a target window 1201 is displayed on the first client. This target window 1201 displays the game's map information and the coordinates of the game character, allowing the player on the first client to access game information through the minimap displayed in this target window, thus achieving the preset radar effect in the game. When the first client receives a switching command, the display in target window 1201 is switched from the second screen: "Minimap" to the first screen: "Snowflake Screen," resulting in the following... Figure 13 The game screen shown is in Figure 13 In the middle, the target window 1301 no longer displays a minimap, but instead shows a snow screen with no information, thus achieving the effect of the anti-reconnaissance aircraft interfering with the user's radar inspection in the game.

[0185] 611. After the preset time period ends, the first client restores the display of the second screen on the target window.

[0186] In this embodiment, after the preset time period ends, the display of the target window in the first client is changed by... Figure 13 Switch back to effect Figure 12 This allows the user of the first client to see the minimap again through the target window 1201 and understand the game information. The specific implementation of step 611 can be found in step 514 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0187] 612. The first client sends a termination command to the server.

[0188] 613. The server sends a termination command to the second client.

[0189] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of steps 612 to 613 can be found in steps 515 to 516 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0190] 614. The second client displays the second information on the display interface according to the termination command.

[0191] In this embodiment, as Figure 14 As shown, when the termination command is received, the second client displays the second message "The counter-reconnaissance aircraft has finished its work" in the information prompt bar 1401 on the display interface, thus informing the user of the second client that the screen switching in the first client has ended. The specific implementation of step 614 can be found in step 517 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0192] In this embodiment, through steps 601 to 614 above, the second client switches the content displayed in the target window of the first client. This allows the local player to restrict the content of the information displayed in the target window of the other player through operation. When one player can obtain more map information through inspection operation, the other player can reversely reduce the map information obtained by the other player through the method provided in this application embodiment, thereby achieving a balance of the game mechanism and allowing one client to interfere with the display effect of another client.

[0193] The screen switching method provided in this application includes: a first client obtaining a switching instruction sent by a server; the first client obtaining a first screen according to the switching instruction, the first screen being a preset screen; the first client switching a second screen displayed on a target window to the first screen, wherein the target window is a display window in the display interface of the first client, and the first screen and the second screen are different screens. By obtaining a user-triggered switching instruction through a second client and sending the switching instruction to the first client through a server, the first client can switch the display screen in the target window according to the switching instruction, thus realizing the switching control of the display screen in the target window on another client by one client.
