Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to a method and device for processing position data in a virtual space. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of virtual games, the spatial scenes in the virtual world are constantly changing with the game plot, and the demand for position processing of spatial scenes is also constantly increasing. In particular, for spatial scenes observed from a single viewpoint, such as observing various targets in the starry sky at night, it is necessary to fix the observation point and adjust the position of the observed target based on operations to meet the position processing requirements.

[0003] Currently, existing spatial scenes based on single-viewpoint observation typically construct the spatial position of the observed target using Cartesian coordinates. For example, the spatial position of the observed target is represented by (x, y, z) coordinate values, and the spatial position of the observed target is changed by changing the values in (x, y, z). However, because the observation point is fixed, changing the spatial position of the observed target by changing the values in (x, y, z) makes the spatial position change less intuitive and complex, reducing the accuracy of the position processing of the spatial scene in the virtual world, thereby affecting the observation effect between the observed target and the observer.

[0070] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0071] In a spatial scene based on single-viewpoint observation, the spatial position of the observed target is usually constructed in Cartesian coordinates, such as by using (x, y, z) coordinate values to represent the spatial position of the observed target, and changing the values of each item in (x, y, z) to change the spatial position of the observed target. However, since the observation point is fixed, changing the spatial position of the observed target based on changing the values of each item in (x, y, z) will result in the spatial position change being less intuitive and complicated to operate, which reduces the accuracy of position processing of the spatial scene in the virtual world, thereby affecting the observation effect between the observed target and the observer. An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing position data in a virtual space, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0072] 101. Display a virtual spherical space with a target object.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, the current execution entity can be any game engine, which constructs virtual world scenes suitable for different types of games, such as puzzle games and role-playing games, through the current game engine. This allows game content such as player characters, non-player characters, and scene objects to exist in the virtual world scenes, constructing different types of game stories. The virtual spherical space is created based on a spatial spherical coordinate system. The virtual spherical space and the virtual world space are jointly configured in the virtual world scene. The virtual world space is the virtual space of the entire world constructed in the game engine based on the Cartesian coordinate system. The virtual spherical space is created at the desired location in the virtual world space based on the spatial spherical coordinate system. In addition, the spatial spherical coordinate system is based on a preset coordinate origin as the sphere center and a virtual sphere with a spherical radius as the radius. The surface of the virtual sphere is configured with the target object expected to be observed by the observer. By calculating the azimuth and pitch angles at the coordinate origin, the position of the target object on the surface of the virtual sphere is determined, thereby achieving the creation of a virtual spherical space and displaying the virtual spherical space with each target object in the game interface.

[0074] It should be noted that the target object in the embodiment of the present invention is the object that the observer intends to observe, and may include but is not limited to virtual objects located in the sky of the virtual world, such as stars at night, and background virtual objects located in the virtual subspace of the virtual world, such as objects hidden in caves, etc., so that the observer located at a fixed coordinate origin can observe various virtual objects on the spherical surface more realistically.

[0075] 102. Acquire first position data of a position operation performed on the target object in the virtual world space, and determine third position data of the first position data in the virtual spherical space based on second position data of a visual center point in the virtual spherical space.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to make the observer be located at a fixed observation point in the virtual spherical space, such as when observing the target object on the spherical surface from the coordinate origin, the position of the target object can be always kept corresponding to the observer by operating the target object, and the first position data of the position operation performed by the observer on the target object in the virtual world space can be obtained, so as to determine the third position data of the first position data in the virtual spherical space by determining the second position data relative to the visual center point of the virtual spherical space. Among them, the first position data is the position content of the observer's trigger movement or expected position transformation operation on the target object, the second position data is the position content of the visual center relative to the virtual spherical space, preferably relative to the fixed coordinate origin of the virtual spherical space, and the third position data is the position content of the first position data mapped to the virtual spherical space based on the second position data, such as Figure 2 As shown, point O is the coordinate origin, point P is the operation point in the virtual world space, which is the first position data, and point Q is the mapping point (i.e., the intersection of the ray and the virtual spherical space) emitted from point O to point P to the virtual spherical space. Since the observer operates the screen (or the display interface on the screen) using a mouse or touch, the screen space position corresponding to the operation is converted into the virtual world space to obtain the first position data. Therefore, the first position data is Cartesian coordinate data in the virtual world space. Therefore, the first position data can be mapped and converted to position data in the virtual spherical space by using the coordinate origin as the corresponding second position data, so as to determine the expected position of the target object in the virtual spherical space in combination with a fixed spherical radius. Furthermore, in order to obtain a more accurate position of the target object in the virtual spherical space, the azimuth and pitch angles of the target object in the virtual spherical space can be determined based on the position corresponding to the coordinate origin and the first position data. The orientation of the target object is adjusted based on these two angles so that when the target object is displayed in the virtual spherical space, it is always facing the coordinate origin of the virtual spherical space, thereby enabling the observer to observe the target object directly.

[0077] It should be noted that the coordinate system of the virtual spherical space takes the center of the sphere as the origin, and the preset observation distance is used as the radius of the sphere to determine the sphere. The precise position of different target objects in the virtual spherical space is represented by angle data, so that the first position data determined by the observer in the virtual world space can be converted and mapped to the position in the virtual spherical space.

[0078] 103. Display the target object at the location point of the third location data.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to make the target object in the virtual spherical space consistent with the observer's viewing direction, thereby ensuring the observer's realistic visual experience in the game scene, the third position data is obtained by converting and mapping the first position data determined in the virtual world space, and the target object is displayed at the position point of the third position data, so that the observer can observe the target object head-on for operation processing, such as displaying the target object at the position point of the third position data in the virtual spherical space, so that the observer can drag the target object, so that the observer can ensure that the target object is always located in the virtual spherical space and in the positive direction of the observer when dragging the target object. Of course, the operation processing of the target object can also include the addition of scene special effects (such as adding twinkling special effects to stars), switching of visual scenes (such as zooming in on the visual display lens of the target object), etc., which are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] It should be noted that, in one embodiment scenario, in order to ensure that the target object can always face the observer when the position operation is performed on the target object, the position is displayed according to the third position data when the position operation is performed on the target object in the virtual world space, that is, the visual effect of rotating the original visual angle of the visual center point to the angle of the third position data can be achieved, so that the target object is displayed at the position point of the third position data in the spherical coordinate system when moving, so that the target object faces the observation point, that is, the observer's visual direction faces the target object in the virtual spherical space.

[0081] In addition, in a scenario of an embodiment of the present invention, when a player observes multiple targets on a virtual spherical space based on a visual center point, one or more targets can be selected for position operations. At this time, when position operations are performed on the selected one or more targets, such as dragging, the positions of other unselected targets on the virtual spherical space remain unchanged, that is, the position operations on one or more targets are only based on the selection of the game player, and no position operations are performed on unselected targets. In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to make the position operation of the target object appear correlated and thus achieve a visual linkage effect, the linkage relationship between multiple target objects can be established so that when one target object is dragged, the positions of other target objects with a linkage relationship will also change. For example, the Big Dipper in the virtual night sky has a linkage relationship. When Tianshu is dragged, the positions of the other six stars in the Big Dipper will also change. The embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations. Specifically, after determining the third position data of the first target object targeted by the position operation performed by the game player in the virtual spherical space according to the method in the above embodiment, the updated position of the at least one second target object after the position operation is obtained based on the relative position relationship between the first target object and at least one second target object that is associated with the first target object before the position operation, and adjusting the orientation of each second target object to face the coordinate origin of the virtual sphere, and displaying the corresponding second target object at each updated position according to their respective orientations.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to further define and illustrate, Figure 3 As shown, before step 101, displaying the virtual spherical space with the target object, the method further includes: 201, obtaining a spherical radius matching the visual center point and the target object; 202, establishing a spatial spherical coordinate system in the virtual world space, and determining the virtual spherical space in the spatial spherical coordinate system based on the spherical radius, and configuring the target object in the virtual spherical space.

[0083] In order to ensure that the observer's line of sight is facing the target object when operating the target object, thereby improving the observer's operating experience and achieving a realistic spatial effect, a virtual spherical space is constructed. The visual center point is the fixed position where the observer observes the target object. In order to construct a hemispherical space with the visual center as the sphere center, a spherical radius matching the visual center point is obtained. This can be pre-configured based on the game scene requirements. For example, for a starry sky scene or a cave scene in the game, a spherical radius matching the visual center is pre-configured so that a spatial spherical coordinate system of a virtual spherical space with the visual center point as the sphere center is constructed according to this spherical radius. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the value of the spherical radius. At the same time, a target object expected to be configured in the virtual spherical space is obtained. At this time, the target object is an operation object in the original virtual world space, for example, a constellation in the original virtual world space, so that the target object is configured in the established spatial spherical coordinate system to obtain a virtual spherical space for output. In an embodiment of the present invention, the target object is stored in the current game engine in the form of model data, so that when constructing the virtual spherical space, the model data is configured in the virtual spherical space.

[0084] It should be noted that when the spatial spherical coordinate system of the virtual spherical space is made according to the spherical radius and the visual center point as the center of the sphere, since the virtual spherical space and the virtual world space coexist, a spatial spherical coordinate system is established in the virtual world space. The virtual world space is constructed based on Cartesian coordinates. In order to perform the conversion, the visual center point of the established spatial spherical coordinate system is used as the coordinate origin. The virtual spherical space is determined in the spatial spherical coordinate system based on the spherical radius. The precise position of different targets in the virtual spherical space is represented by angle data, that is, the orientation of the target in the virtual spherical space can be adjusted according to this angle data. The angle data includes azimuth and pitch angle. Correspondingly, the virtual spherical space is a hemisphere with a fixed radius. On this hemisphere, the expression of the spatial spherical coordinate system can be the angle data of the ray corresponding to the coordinate origin o to point a on this hemisphere, such as (Yaw_oa, Pitch_oa), which is the position data of point a mapped in the virtual spherical space.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to further define and illustrate, Figure 4 As shown, the visual center point is the coordinate origin of the spatial spherical coordinate system, and step 202 determines the third position data of the first position data in the virtual spherical space based on the second position data of the visual center point of the virtual spherical space, including: 301, emitting a ray from the coordinate origin to the position point of the first position data, and determining the intersection of the ray and the virtual spherical space; 302, determining the angle data of the intersection through the coordinate origin and the ray, and determining the third position data of the target object in the virtual spherical space based on the angle data.

[0086] Because the embodiment of the present invention uses the visual center point as the coordinate origin for constructing a spatial spherical coordinate system, after obtaining the first position data for performing a position operation on the target object, it is necessary to determine the third position data of the first position data in the virtual spherical space based on the second position data, i.e., the position of the visual center point. Specifically, a ray is emitted from the coordinate origin point to the position point of the first position data, and the ray is mapped to the virtual spherical space based on the direction of the ray, thereby obtaining a mapping point in the virtual spherical space as the third position data. At this time, the spatial spherical coordinate system based on the virtual spherical space represents the third position data. For example, the position point of the coordinate origin of the visual center point of the virtual spherical space is point A, and the position point of the first position data of the target object operation in the virtual world space is point B. Then a ray is emitted from A to B, and intersects in the virtual spherical space to determine the third position data, recorded as point C. The position of C is the target position where the target object is displayed. At this time, the azimuth and pitch angles of the ray AB are represented as (Yaw_AB, Pitch_AB). The third position data of the target object in the virtual spherical space is determined based on the angle data of the ray AB. At this time, the third position data is the position of point C, and the precise position of the target object in the virtual spherical space can be represented by (-Yaw_AB, -Pitch_AB), that is, the orientation of the target object in the virtual spherical space is adjusted, so that the first position data determined by the observer in the virtual world space can be converted and mapped to the position in the virtual spherical space, and the observer can observe the target object directly.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to further define and illustrate, Figure 5 As shown, the angle data includes azimuth and pitch angles. Step 302 determines the angle data of the intersection point through the coordinate origin and the ray, and determines the third position data of the target object in the virtual spherical space based on the angle data, including: 401, determining the azimuth and pitch angles of the ray based on the coordinate origin, and determining the opposite numbers of the azimuth and pitch angles; 402, determining the opposite numbers of the azimuth and pitch angles as the azimuth and pitch angles of the target object in the virtual spherical space, respectively.

[0088] In order to accurately determine the angle data of the mapping point determined by the coordinate origin and the ray, and thus determine the third position data of the target object in the virtual spherical space based on the angle data, the azimuth and pitch angle of the ray are determined based on the coordinate origin, such as Figure 6As shown, since the azimuth and pitch angles of the coordinate origin are mapped to the point where the third position data is located based on the coordinate origin, accordingly, after determining the opposite numbers of the azimuth and pitch angles, the opposite numbers of the azimuth and pitch angles are respectively determined as the azimuth and pitch angles of the target object in the virtual spherical space. For example, the expressions corresponding to the azimuth and azimuth of the ray AB emitted from the position point of the coordinate origin are (Yaw_AB, Pitch_AB). At this time, the front of the target object is perpendicular to the ray AB, that is, facing the position point A of the coordinate origin where the observer is located. Correspondingly, the expressions of the azimuth and pitch angles of the target object in the virtual spherical space after determining the opposite numbers are (-Yaw_AB, -Pitch_AB). Therefore, the orientation of the target object is adjusted by the azimuth and pitch angles of the target object in the virtual spherical space, and the third position data of the target object in the virtual spherical space is determined more accurately, so that the target object is displayed at the position point, so that the observer is facing the target object, achieving the observer's observation effect and gaming experience.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to further define and illustrate, Figure 7 As shown, step 202 configures the target object in the spatial spherical coordinate system, including: 501, obtaining the spatial spherical configuration data of the target object; 502, parsing the target object attribute characteristics and target object scene characteristics in the spatial spherical configuration data, and configuring the target object in the spatial spherical coordinate system based on the target object attribute characteristics and the target object scene characteristics.

[0090] To ensure a rich configuration of objects in the virtual spherical space, thereby achieving the diversity of the virtual spherical space and facilitating the realization of multi-scene presentation, when configuring objects, spatial spherical configuration data for the objects is obtained. This data is then used to align the objects with the spatial spherical coordinate system based on the object attribute characteristics and target scene characteristics analyzed from the spatial spherical configuration data. The spatial spherical configuration data is used to represent the visual effect data expected to be displayed when the objects are applied to different game scenes. Developers can pre-generate different spatial spherical configuration data for different game scenes. In this case, the spatial spherical configuration data includes, but is not limited to, object attribute characteristics, target scene characteristics, and may also include scene sound characteristics, scene special effects characteristics, and other features to facilitate the diversified presentation of the virtual spherical space. In addition, when configuring the target object, the target object attribute characteristics and target object scene characteristics in the spatial spherical configuration data are analyzed. The target object attribute characteristics are the attribute content of the target object's own content, including but not limited to the target object's color, target object size and other characteristics, so as to be displayed in the virtual spherical space. The target object scene characteristics are the characteristics displayed by the target object for a specific scene, including but not limited to the scene special effects and other content. For example, for the starry sky scene, the target object is a star, and the target scene characteristics can be configured as the star's flashing frequency, flashing color, etc. For the cave scene, the target object is an ancient monument, and the target scene characteristics can be configured as the transparency of the ancient monument, the ancient monument's luminous characteristics, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0091] It should be noted that, since there can be multiple target objects in the embodiment of the present invention, the target objects are configured in the spatial spherical coordinate system in step 202. Specifically, all target objects to be positioned are pre-configured in a virtual spherical space for the observer to observe. When the observer needs to perform a position operation, the position of the selected target object is moved to the direction facing the observer.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further limitation and explanation, after step 101 displays a virtual spherical space with a target object, the method further includes: when a position operation on the target object is detected in the operation interface, converting the fifth position data corresponding to the position operation in the screen space into the virtual world space to obtain the first position data.

[0093] Since the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to game users in different scenarios, when operating a game character as an observer, the operation can be based on click touch or click mouse. Therefore, it is necessary to first detect whether the game operator on the operation interface triggers the position operation, such as Figure 8As shown, the fifth position data generated by the position operation at the spatial position of the operation interface is transferred to the virtual world space, that is, obtained as the first position data, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the position data.

[0094] Correspondingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step of displaying the target object at the position point of the third position data includes: analyzing the operation speed parameters generated by performing position operation on the target object; and displaying the target object at the position point of the third position data according to the operation speed parameters.

[0095] In a specific implementation scenario, a game player's position manipulation of a target object can be obtained through an operation interface. Specifically, when a game player selects or drags a target object in a virtual spherical space at a spatial position corresponding to the operation interface, in order to ensure that the target object is always facing the player's perspective, the operation speed parameter generated by the position manipulation can be analyzed to display the target object at a position corresponding to third position data in the virtual spherical space based on the operation speed parameter, thereby achieving the position manipulation. The operation speed parameter is used to represent the speed at which the game player triggers the position movement in the operation interface, such as the speed at which the player clicks and moves the mouse. This serves as a speed reference value for displaying the target object at the position point of the third position data in the virtual spherical space. Whether to directly move the target object to the position corresponding to the third position data according to the operation speed parameter can be determined by directly configuring the movement speed as the operation speed parameter or configuring it according to a ratio of the operation speed parameter. This embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this, thereby demonstrating different speed efficiencies for displaying the target object at the position point of the third position data.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further definition and explanation, before step 101 displays the virtual spherical space with the target object, the method further includes: configuring a virtual camera at the visual center point of the virtual spherical space to provide visual scene information of the virtual spherical space based on the virtual camera.

[0097] In order to make the observer's visual direction match the viewing angle of the game character, the virtual camera in the game engine is configured at the visual center point, so that when the game engine is making the game, it can produce the viewing angle of the game character based on the shooting angle of the virtual camera, such as Figure 6 As shown, the visualization effect of game users' operations is greatly improved.

[0098] Correspondingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step of displaying a virtual spherical space with a target object includes: obtaining visual scene information corresponding to the virtual camera; adjusting output parameters of the virtual spherical space based on the visual scene information, and outputting the virtual spherical space with the target object based on the output parameters.

[0099] In a specific implementation scenario, since the shooting angle of the virtual camera is the observation angle of the game player, after configuring the virtual camera at the visual center point, the displayed virtual spherical space can specifically obtain the visual scene information corresponding to the virtual camera, adjust the output parameters of the virtual spherical space based on the visual scene information, and display the virtual spherical space with the target object based on the output parameters. Specifically, since the virtual camera can display a game scene to the game player, the visual scene information output by the camera as the game scene is used to represent the visual content corresponding to different virtual scenes based on the visualization angle and visualization focus parameters of the virtual camera. The visualization angle is used to represent the angle at which the virtual camera displays the virtual scene, and the visualization focus parameters are used to represent the focus of the virtual camera displaying the virtual scene. Furthermore, the observable content specifically displayed to the game player through the visual scene information includes but is not limited to scene object model data, player character model data, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, since the game scene is pre-set in the game engine, visual scene information matching the game scene can be obtained. In this case, the visual scene information represents the entire scene content observable by the game player. Therefore, the output parameters of the virtual spherical space are adjusted based on the visual scene information. The output parameters include, but are not limited to, the output distance ratio, output color value, output transparency, and other content representing the output parameters of the virtual spherical space, thereby enhancing the player's visualization experience. For example, in a starry sky scene, the visual scene information represents the scene content of the entire hemisphere observable by the player. In this case, the corresponding adjusted output parameters may include an output distance ratio matching the virtual world scene, and a night sky scene with a black color value. In a cave scene, since caves are suitable for both dark and illuminated environments, the visual scene information represents the scene content of the target objects observable by the player with light. In this case, the corresponding adjusted output parameters may include a black color value for the area visible except for the torch range, or a transparent or preset focal length display of the ancient monuments, while the entire cave wall is displayed with a preset non-transparent or blurred character display effect for other ancient monuments. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
