[0059] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0060] To clearly explain the auxiliary positioning methods provided in the various embodiments of the present invention, the meanings of the terms used in the embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail below.

[0061] First Role: The virtual character corresponding to the first user of the application in that application;

[0062] Second role: The virtual character in the application corresponding to the second user who is hostile to the first user;

[0063] Third role: The virtual character in the application corresponding to any user who is hostile to the first user;

[0064] Assisted positioning: A function used to help locate virtual characters in the opposing camp, thereby improving positioning accuracy;

[0065] Applications can be application software, game software, virtual software, etc.

[0066] It should be noted that the assisted positioning method provided in this application can be executed by either the application client or the application server. The following embodiments of this application will be described using the method executed by the application client as an example.

[0067] The auxiliary positioning method, apparatus, and device proposed in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] This invention addresses the problem in the prior art where users operating shooting games on electronic devices, especially mobile phones, need to manually move the aiming star and select targets. This places high demands on user skills, particularly for novice users, as the high difficulty and low accuracy reduce their interest in the game. Therefore, this invention proposes an auxiliary positioning method.

[0069] The assisted positioning method proposed in this invention can be applied to any application with positioning requirements. In specific implementation, it first determines whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet preset assisted positioning conditions. When it is determined that a second character meets the preset assisted positioning conditions, the first character's aiming star is moved to the second character's first preset position, or the aiming star is moved to a second preset position closer to the second character. Therefore, during application use, if a second character in the current character's opposing faction meets the assisted positioning conditions, the current character is assisted in locating the second character, automatically achieving assisted aiming. This effectively reduces the difficulty of game operation, improves positioning accuracy, and enhances user interest in this type of application, especially in mobile clients, greatly increasing user stickiness.

[0070] The following section will first combine the appendix. Figure 1 The auxiliary positioning method proposed in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0071] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the auxiliary positioning method of the present invention.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, this assisted positioning method may include the following two steps:

[0073] Step 101: Determine whether the other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions. If they do, proceed to step 102; otherwise, continue with step 101.

[0074] Specifically, the auxiliary positioning method provided in this embodiment can be executed by the auxiliary positioning device provided by the present invention. The device can be configured in an electronic device to control the operation of the first role.

[0075] The electronic device can be any hardware device with a touch screen, such as a smartphone, personal digital assistant, tablet computer, etc., and any hardware device with a controller, such as a handheld game console, virtual reality device, augmented reality device, computer with mouse, etc., without specific limitations. Because the screen of a hardware device with a touch screen is relatively small, aiming and positioning by human eye and hand operation is particularly difficult. The specific implementation scheme of this patent is more effective in solving the aiming and positioning problem. Preferably, the electronic device is a hardware device with a touch screen.

[0076] It should be noted that applications with assisted positioning capabilities (i.e., clients) can be installed on different electronic devices, and each electronic device can create a corresponding role when using the aforementioned client to perform corresponding operations. In the actual use of the aforementioned client, in order to obtain information such as the status of other roles belonging to different factions (i.e., opposing factions) from the first role, it is necessary to use the server to analyze and process the role information uploaded by each client corresponding to the first role's client, and then send the analysis results synchronously to each client. This allows each client to determine whether other roles in different factions meet the preset assisted positioning conditions based on the role status information sent by the server.

[0077] In other words, before determining whether other roles currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, this embodiment needs to first obtain the status information of other roles synchronized by the server.

[0078] Before executing step 101, the auxiliary positioning device first determines whether the user has enabled the auxiliary positioning function. If the auxiliary positioning device detects that the auxiliary positioning function has been triggered, it determines that the user has enabled the auxiliary positioning function.

[0079] The user can enable the assisted positioning function at any time. For example, it can be enabled before the game starts through the settings function in the game positioning control device; or it can be enabled during the game by triggering the assisted positioning function key on the game display interface, etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0080] After receiving the user's instruction to activate the auxiliary positioning function, the auxiliary positioning device analyzes each character in the opposing camp of the first character to determine whether each character in the opposing camp currently meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions.

[0081] Specifically, based on the status information of other characters belonging to different factions from the first character, it can be determined whether the other characters currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions.

[0082] In this embodiment, the status information of other characters may include at least one of the following: position, angle, movement speed, and / or movement method. The movement methods of other characters may include running, walking, jumping, crouching, etc., and are not specifically limited here.

[0083] It should be noted that, based on the position information of each character and the position information of the first character, we can obtain: the distance between the first character and the other characters, the relative angle between the first character and the other characters, and / or the positional relationship between the other characters and the obstruction, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0084] In practice, the position information of the first character can refer to the position of the first character relative to a reference point, or it can refer to the coordinates of the first character in the application page coordinate system. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0085] Specifically, if the position information of the first character and the position information of all other characters refer to the coordinates of the character in the page coordinate system, then the auxiliary positioning device can determine the distance and relative angle between the first character and the other characters based on the coordinates of the first character and the coordinates of the other characters.

[0086] For example, if the current coordinates of character A are (1, 1), and the coordinates of character B (2, 2) and character C (1, 3) belong to different factions, the positioning device can determine the distance between A and B based on the formula for calculating the distance between two points. The distance between A and C If character A is facing the positive Y-axis of the page coordinate system, then calculations show that character B is in front of character A, at a counterclockwise angle of 45°, and character C is directly in front of character A.

[0087] Furthermore, the auxiliary positioning device can also determine the coordinates of each occluder on the current page by parsing the application page data, and thus determine the positional relationship between each character and the occluder.

[0088] The following is combined with Figure 2 In this embodiment, the process of determining whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions will be explained in detail.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, the process of determining whether any character belonging to a different faction than the first character currently meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions may include:

[0090] Step 201: Determine whether the distance between the first character and the third character in the opposing faction is within the first preset range. If yes, proceed to step 202; otherwise, proceed to step 205.

[0091] The third character is any character from the opposing faction of the first character.

[0092] Step 202: Determine whether the relative angle between the third character and the first character is within the second preset range. If it is, proceed to step 203; otherwise, proceed to step 205.

[0093] Step 203: Determine whether the positional relationship between the third character and the obstruction meets the preset conditions. If it does, proceed to step 204; otherwise, proceed to step 205.

[0094] Step 204: Determine if the third role meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions.

[0095] Step 205: Determine that the third role does not meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions.

[0096] The first preset range, the second preset range, and the preset conditions can be adapted to the actual application situation, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0097] For example, if the preset auxiliary positioning conditions include a to b for distance (first preset range), x1 to x2 for relative angle (second preset range), and y1 to y2 for positional relationship (preset conditions), then the auxiliary positioning device can determine the positions of each character B in the opposing camp of the first character A based on the above conditions. If the distance between any character B1 in the opposing camp and the first character A is within the range of a to b, the relative angle is within the range of x1 to x2, and the positional relationship also satisfies the y1 to y2 condition, then it can be determined that the character B1 satisfies the preset auxiliary positioning conditions.

[0098] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, determining whether each character meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions can be based on the distance and relative angle between each character in the opposing camp and the first character; or, based on the distance between each character in the opposing camp and the first character, and the positional relationship between each character and the obstruction; or, based on the relative angle between each character in the opposing camp and the first character, and the positional relationship between each character and the obstruction; or, based on the distance between each character in the opposing camp and the first character, the relative angle, and the positional relationship between each character and the obstruction, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0099] Furthermore, to reduce the processing burden on applications, the above judgment criteria can be executed sequentially in a certain order, for example, by using the above... Figure 2 The sequential execution shown reduces the computational burden on the application and saves resource overhead for the auxiliary positioning method by only determining the relative angle for third roles whose relative distance meets the first preset range.

[0100] Step 102: If it is determined that the second character meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, then the aiming star of the first character is moved to the first preset position of the second character, or the aiming star is moved to the second preset position close to the second character.

[0101] The aiming star can be circular, triangular, square, star-shaped, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0102] In this embodiment, the first preset position and the second preset position can be adaptively set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on them.

[0103] Specifically, when the second character in the opposing faction meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, the auxiliary positioning device can move the aiming star of the first character to the first preset position of the second character, or move the aiming star to a second preset position close to the second character. This makes it easier for the user to control the first character to locate the second character and perform shooting operations, reducing the difficulty of the game and improving the user experience.

[0104] In practice, when it is determined that the second character meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, it can first be determined whether the second character is obscured by an occlusion, and then the corresponding positioning operation can be performed according to the judgment result.

[0105] If the second character is not obstructed, the auxiliary positioning device will gradually move the aiming star from far to near to the specific position of the second character; or, it will move the aiming star on the second character along a preset path.

[0106] The aforementioned specific location can refer to the position of a particular bone within the skeleton of each character. For example, when the first character's aiming point moves from a distance to near the second character, and the second character is currently crouching, the auxiliary positioning device can control the first character's aiming point to move from bottom to top to locate a specific bone in the second character's waist. As another example, if the first character's aiming point moves along a preset path over the second character, and the second character is currently jumping, the auxiliary positioning device can control the first character's aiming point to move from top to bottom to locate a specific bone in the second character's chest, and so on.

[0107] It should be noted that since characters in games are typically composed of skeletons and decorations, controlling each character is mostly achieved by adjusting the position and / or angle of different bones. Therefore, this embodiment can achieve character positioning by controlling the relationship between the aiming reticle and one or more bones of the second character.

[0108] It should be noted that the preset path can start from the end bone of the second character's head, move downwards in a straight line along the second character's skeletal framework until it reaches the end bone of the feet; or it can start from the end bone of the second character's feet, move upwards in a straight line along the second character's skeletal framework until it reaches the end bone of the head; or it can start from the end bone of the second character's head, move from left to right, from top to bottom along the second character's skeletal framework, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0109] If the second character is obstructed by an object, the auxiliary positioning device can move the aiming star to the edge of the object corresponding to the second character to avoid overly precise positioning, which would reduce the fun of the game.

[0110] Specifically, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the point on the obstruction closest to the aiming star based on the current coordinates of the aiming star, the coordinates of the obstruction, and the shape of the obstruction, and then move the aiming star along a straight line to that point on the obstruction; alternatively, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the point on the obstruction closest to the second character based on the coordinates of the second character, the coordinates of the obstruction, and the shape of the obstruction, and then move the aiming star to that point; alternatively, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the intersection point of the line connecting the aiming star and the second character with the obstruction based on the coordinates of the second character, the coordinates of the obstruction, the shape of the obstruction, and the coordinates of the aiming star, and then move the aiming star to that intersection point, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0111] In practice, multiple (e.g., N, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2) roles are often identified as meeting the auxiliary positioning conditions. To select the optimal positioning target from these roles, this embodiment selects the role with the highest matching degree to the preset auxiliary positioning conditions as the second role.

[0112] Specifically, the matching degree between each role and the auxiliary positioning conditions can be determined in a variety of ways.

[0113] Method 1

[0114] If the auxiliary positioning condition is a numerical range, then the matching degree between each character and the auxiliary positioning condition can be determined based on the positional relationship between each character and the first character, and the position falling within that numerical range.

[0115] For example, if the auxiliary positioning conditions are that the distance between each character and the first character is 1 to 4 meters (m) and the relative angle is 30° to 60°, and there are two characters that meet the auxiliary positioning conditions, namely character X and character Y, and the distances between these two characters and the first character are 1.2m and 3m respectively, and the relative angles between them are 33° and 45° respectively, then it can be determined that although character X meets the auxiliary positioning conditions, its distance of 1.2m is very close to the edge of the auxiliary positioning condition (1m). Meanwhile, the distance and relative angle between character Y and the first character both fall within the middle area of ​​the auxiliary positioning conditions. Therefore, it can be determined that character Y has the highest matching degree with the auxiliary positioning conditions, and thus character Y can be selected as the second character.

[0116] Method 2

[0117] If the auxiliary positioning conditions include multiple dimensions, the matching degree between each character and the auxiliary positioning conditions can be determined based on the positional relationship between each character and the first character and the number of matches in each dimension.

[0118] For example, if the preset auxiliary positioning condition requires that at least one of the two dimensions, distance and angle, be satisfied, in practice, if there are two characters X and Y, both satisfying the preset auxiliary positioning condition, where character X satisfies both the angle and distance conditions, while character Y only satisfies the distance condition, meaning the number of matches between character X and each dimension is greater than the number of matches between character Y and each dimension, then character X has the highest match degree with the auxiliary positioning condition, and can be selected as the second character.

[0119] Furthermore, when a second character is identified from the opposing faction, in this embodiment, the first character's aiming star can continuously move along the second character's body along a preset path. When the first character moves the aiming star to the second character's fatal position (such as between the eyebrows or on the head), a stop command can be issued. If the auxiliary positioning device determines that it has received the stop command issued by the first character's controller, it can control the aiming star to stop moving, so as to ensure that the aiming star is aimed at the second character's fatal position, allowing the first character to trigger a shooting operation and kill the second character, thereby improving the user experience.

[0120] In practice, when the player controlling the first character triggers a firing command, the auxiliary positioning device receives the command and adjusts the accuracy and / or sensitivity of the aiming reticle. This allows the user to feel the weapon's recoil during firing, and also causes the aiming reticle to jiggle naturally after firing, further enhancing the game's realism.

[0121] For example, when a firing command is received, adjusting the accuracy and / or sensitivity of the aiming star control by the auxiliary positioning function can mean reducing the traction force of the auxiliary positioning function on the aiming star so that the aiming star can move freely after firing.

[0122] Specifically, during firing operations, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the type of weapon that can be used based on the current role information of the first character, such as a pistol, submachine gun, machine gun, etc. Different types of weapons have different power levels and environmental conditions (e.g., firing scenarios). Therefore, in order to accurately determine the trajectory of the aiming star based on the current role information and / or environmental information of the first character, this embodiment can, after receiving the firing command from the controller of the first character, first determine the current role information of the first character to determine the type of weapon to be used, or determine the current environmental information of the first character. Then, based on the weapon type and / or environmental information, adjust the positioning accuracy and sensitivity level of the aiming star, and determine the trajectory, positioning accuracy, first preset position, second preset position, and other information of the aiming star.

[0123] When determining the first or second preset position of the aiming star based on the weapon type, it can be determined based on the current posture of the second character and the positional relationship between the second character and the obstruction. No specific limitations are imposed here.

[0124] Specifically, the current posture of the second character can be determined based on the current position and / or angle of each bone in the second character's skeletal frame. Correspondingly, the positional relationship between the second character and the occlusion can be determined based on the current position and / or angle of each bone in the second character's skeletal frame, and the coordinates of the occlusion.

[0125] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when determining the movement trajectory, positioning accuracy, and first and second preset positions of the sensitivity level set of the aiming star, it can be determined based on the role information currently corresponding to the first role, or it can be determined based on the environmental information currently in which the first role is located, or it can be determined based on both the role information currently corresponding to the first role and the environmental information in which it is located. This embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0126] Furthermore, to achieve a better experience, the auxiliary positioning device in this embodiment can also adopt different shooting methods based on the current environmental information, such as: sweeping fire, single shot, lob shot, chaotic fire, jump shot, etc., and each of these shooting methods can provide the first character with a different operating experience. For example, when using the sweeping fire method, a wide range of shots can be achieved by moving the weapon.

[0127] Therefore, in order to ensure that users can have a good experience for different shooting methods, this embodiment can determine the shooting method when the auxiliary positioning device receives the shooting command sent by the first character, and then adjust the positioning accuracy level and sensitivity level of the auxiliary positioning according to the shooting method.

[0128] For example, when the firing mode is strafing, the positioning accuracy and sensitivity of the assisted positioning are reduced. Conversely, when the firing mode is single-shot, the positioning accuracy and sensitivity of the assisted positioning are increased.

[0129] The assisted positioning method provided in this invention determines whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet preset assisted positioning conditions. If it is determined that the second character meets the preset assisted positioning conditions, the aiming star of the first character is moved to a first preset position on the body of the second character, or the aiming star is moved to a second preset position closer to the second character. Therefore, during application use, if the second character in the current character's opposing faction meets the assisted positioning conditions, the current character is assisted in locating the second character, automatically achieving assisted aiming. This effectively reduces the difficulty of game operation, improves positioning accuracy, and enhances user interest in this type of application, especially when used in mobile clients, greatly increasing user stickiness.

[0130] As the above analysis shows, when determining that a second character in the opposing camp meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, this invention improves the positioning accuracy of the first character by moving the first character's aiming star to a first preset position on the second character's body, or moving the aiming star to a second preset position close to the second character. Specifically, when the auxiliary positioning device moves the first aiming star to the preset position of the second character, the first character's line of sight may still be fixed at the position before the aiming star moved, making it impossible for the first character to accurately locate the stopping position of the aiming star in a timely manner. To address this, when the auxiliary positioning device moves the aiming star to a preset position near the second character, it can also control the target camera corresponding to the first character's viewpoint to rotate, enabling the first character to accurately locate the stopping position of the aiming star in a timely manner and perform the next positioning and firing operation based on the stopping position of the aiming star. The following is a combination of... Figure 3 The auxiliary positioning method in the above situation will be further explained.

[0131] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an auxiliary positioning method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0132] like Figure 3 As shown, the assisted positioning method may include the following steps:

[0133] Step 301: Determine whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions. If the second character meets the conditions, proceed to step 302; otherwise, continue with step 301.

[0134] Step 302: Move the aiming star of the first character to the first preset position of the second character, or move the aiming star to the second preset position close to the second character.

[0135] The specific implementation process and principle of steps 301-302 above can be found in the detailed description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0136] Step 303: Determine the camera angle of the target camera and the total rotation angle when rotating to the second character.

[0137] Step 304: Determine the rotation method of the target camera based on the total rotation angle.

[0138] Step 305: Based on the rotation method of the target camera, control the target camera to rotate sequentially to the second position.

[0139] Specifically, since the target camera corresponding to the first character's perspective has a corresponding camera angle at any position, when the first character's aiming star moves to the second character's first preset position, or moves to a second preset position close to the second character, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the total rotation angle of the target camera when it rotates to the second character based on the aiming star's moving distance or path.

[0140] Furthermore, after determining the total rotation angle of the target camera when it rotates to the second character, the rotation angle of each frame when it is displayed can be determined based on the total rotation angle. Then, based on the angle that the target camera needs to rotate when each frame is displayed, the camera angle of the target camera corresponding to the first character's viewpoint is controlled, and the camera rotates to the second character in sequence.

[0141] It should be noted that in this embodiment, controlling the movement of the aiming star of the first character can be achieved by controlling the angle of the moving camera, or the movement of the aiming star and the camera can be controlled separately, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0142] Furthermore, in order to ensure a smooth and natural transition of the game screen during the rotation of the target camera to the second character, this embodiment can also calculate the number of display frames of the corresponding game screen when the target camera performs the rotation operation, and then adjust the rotation method of the target camera according to the content displayed in each frame and the rotation angle, so that the first character will not feel that the game screen is laggy or unsmooth when operating the game.

[0143] Accordingly, step 305 in this embodiment includes:

[0144] The initial rotation angle of each frame is determined based on the total rotation angle and the preset rotation duration.

[0145] Based on the initial rotation angle of each frame, determine the scene images corresponding to each frame of the target camera during the rotation process;

[0146] Based on the scene images corresponding to each frame during the rotation process, the initial rotation angle of each frame is corrected.

[0147] The preset duration can be determined as needed, such as 2ms, 4ms, etc.

[0148] Specifically, in this embodiment, after determining the total rotation angle of the target camera, the auxiliary positioning device can determine the initial rotation angle of each frame based on the total rotation angle and the preset rotation duration. Then, based on the current application scenario and the initial rotation angle, it can determine the scene image corresponding to each frame of the camera during the rotation process. Finally, based on the similarity between the scene images corresponding to adjacent frames, the initial rotation angle is corrected.

[0149] For example, if two adjacent frames have a similarity of more than 80% in content, the auxiliary positioning device can appropriately increase the initial rotation angle between the two frames to ensure that the user does not experience a significant visual difference while speeding up the positioning process.

[0150] Alternatively, if, among all the frames to be displayed determined by the initial rotation angle, there are two adjacent frames with a content similarity of more than 20%, and if the target camera rotates according to the initial rotation angle, the user will experience a significant visual conflict between the two frames. In this case, the auxiliary positioning device can appropriately reduce the rotation angle between the two adjacent frames to create a transition frame between them, thereby avoiding visual conflicts caused to the user due to sudden scene changes.

[0151] Understandably, in practical implementation, the auxiliary positioning device can appropriately increase the initial rotation angle between two adjacent frames with very similar content, and appropriately decrease the initial rotation angle between two adjacent frames with excessively large content jumps. In this way, without increasing the positioning time, it can ensure that the user's line of sight can smoothly transition to the second character without causing visual conflict.

[0152] For example, if the total rotation angle of the target camera when it rotates to the second character is 60°, and the auxiliary positioning device can refresh 5 frames during the target camera's rotation within the preset rotation time, then based on the total rotation angle of 60° and the 5 frames, the initial rotation angle of each frame can be calculated to be 12°. Furthermore, when controlling the target camera's rotation based on the total rotation angle and the initial rotation angle of each frame, if the content similarity of the four frames exceeds 80%, and the content similarity of the last two frames is less than 5%, then the initial rotation angle between the four frames can be increased to 14°, while the initial rotation of the last frame can be decreased to 4°. This ensures that the target camera can rotate to the second character within the preset rotation time, and that there are no significant jumps in content between the displayed frames during the rotation, thus ensuring a smooth and natural overall game screen display when the target camera rotates to the second character, reducing the visual discrepancy for the user.

[0153] The assisted positioning method provided in this embodiment of the invention determines whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet preset assisted positioning conditions. When it is determined that the second character meets the preset assisted positioning conditions, the aiming star of the first character is moved to a first preset position on the body of the second character, or the aiming star is moved to a second preset threshold close to the second character. Furthermore, the camera angle of the target camera corresponding to the first character's viewpoint is controlled and rotated to the second character, so that the user can locate the position of the aiming star in a timely manner. When rotating the target camera, the rotation method of the target camera is adjusted according to the content of the game frame screen, thereby ensuring that the transition of the game screen display content is smooth and natural, without causing visual discrepancies for the user, and further improving the user experience.

[0154] As the above analysis shows, to ensure the user's visual experience, this invention, after moving the aiming star of the first character, can also control the target camera corresponding to the first character's viewpoint to rotate to the second character's viewpoint. Specifically, after the first character's aiming star moves to the second character's viewpoint, if the controller of the first character believes that the currently positioned second character's shooting accuracy is low, they can manually operate the aiming star's movement and perform positioning and firing operations based on the aiming star's position, thereby improving the user's flexibility. The following section combines... Figure 4 The auxiliary positioning method in the above situation will be further explained.

[0155] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of an auxiliary positioning method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0156] like Figure 4 As shown, the assisted positioning method may include the following steps:

[0157] Step 401: Determine whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet the preset auxiliary positioning conditions. If the second character meets the conditions, proceed to step 402; otherwise, continue with step 401.

[0158] Step 402: Move the aiming reticle of the first character to the first preset position of the second character, or move the aiming reticle to the second preset position close to the second character.

[0159] Step 403: Obtain the aiming star movement command sent by the controller of the first character. The movement command includes the movement direction and movement speed.

[0160] Step 404: Determine whether the angle between the movement direction in the movement command and the current movement direction of the aiming star is greater than the first threshold. If it is greater, proceed to step 405; otherwise, proceed to step 402.

[0161] Step 405: Determine whether the movement speed in the movement command is greater than the second threshold. If it is, proceed to step 406; otherwise, proceed to step 402.

[0162] Step 406: Control the movement of the aiming star according to the movement command.

[0163] The first threshold and the second threshold can be set adaptively according to actual application needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0164] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation process, the auxiliary positioning device can also adjust the size of the first threshold and the second threshold, or adjust the range of the above judgment conditions as needed.

[0165] For example, for touch-screen electronic devices, if the auxiliary positioning device determines that the user's touch force is relatively large during the application process, the size of the second threshold can be increased to avoid the impact of misoperation; or, if it is determined that the user's touch force is relatively small during the application process, the aiming star can be moved according to the movement command when the movement speed in the movement command is determined to be equal to the second threshold.

[0166] Correspondingly, if the operating area of ​​the electronic device is small, the first threshold can be reduced; or when the angle between the current movement direction of the aiming star in the movement direction domain of the movement command is equal to the first threshold, it is considered that this movement command was triggered by the user, etc.

[0167] Specifically, in actual operation, the way the auxiliary positioning device moves the aiming star of the first character to the second character is rather rigid and inflexible. Therefore, the first character can adjust the movement of the aiming star according to the actual progress of the game, so that the first character can have a greater sense of participation in the game operation.

[0168] In this embodiment, the movement speed can be determined based on the operation method and force applied by the first controller to the electronic device. For example, for a touch-screen electronic device, the pressure applied by the user to the touchscreen determines the movement speed; or for a joystick-operated electronic device, the movement speed can be determined based on the force applied by the user to the joystick, and so on.

[0169] In practice, the auxiliary positioning device can first obtain the aiming star movement command sent by the first character, and judge the movement direction in the movement command to determine whether the angle between the movement direction and the current movement direction of the aiming star is greater than the first threshold. If it is greater, it can further judge whether the movement speed is greater than the second threshold. If it is greater, it means that the first character controller is performing manual positioning. At this time, the control of the aiming star is handed over to the first character controller so that the first character can move the aiming star according to the actual situation.

[0170] Understandably, by judging the direction and speed of movement in the movement command, it is possible to identify situations where the first character makes a mistake or unconsciously sends a aiming star movement command due to external factors, thereby making the aiming star movement of the first character more reliable.

[0171] The assisted positioning method provided in this embodiment of the invention, after determining that the second character meets the preset assisted positioning conditions, obtains the aiming star movement command sent by the first character and determines whether the angle between the movement direction in the movement command and the current movement direction of the aiming star is greater than a first threshold. If it is greater, it further determines whether the movement intensity in the movement command is greater than a second threshold. If it is greater, it controls the aiming star to move according to the movement command. Therefore, when operating a game, users can not only rely on assisted positioning to reduce the difficulty of operation, but also manually control the game according to the actual situation, thereby increasing the fun of user operation and improving the user experience.

[0172] To achieve the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes an auxiliary positioning device.

[0218] The auxiliary positioning device provided in this invention determines whether other characters belonging to different factions from the first character currently meet preset auxiliary positioning conditions. If it is determined that the second character meets the preset auxiliary positioning conditions, the aiming star of the first character is moved to a first preset position on the body of the second character, or the aiming star is moved to a second preset position closer to the second character. Therefore, during application use, if the second character in the opposing faction of the current character meets the auxiliary positioning conditions, the device assists the current character in locating the second character, automatically achieving assisted aiming. This effectively reduces the difficulty of game operation, improves positioning accuracy, and enhances user interest in this type of application, especially when used in mobile clients, greatly increasing user stickiness.
