It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0031] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the control method of the virtual object in the embodiment of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, the control method of the virtual object described above is realized. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely arranged relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories may be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and a combination thereof.

For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the control of the virtual object is performed by the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing the game, the user operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

The game scene may include virtual objects such as virtual characters, virtual props, virtual vehicles, ground, mountains, rocks, flowers, grass, trees, and buildings.

[0040] Optionally, the content presented by the graphical user interface may include all or part of the virtual character. For example, in a third-person perspective game, the content presented by the graphical user interface may include all of the virtual character, and in another example, in a first-person perspective game, the content presented by the graphical user interface may include part / part of the virtual character.

[0041] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0042] Step S202 , in response to a first touch operation on the first touch area, controlling the virtual object to flip.

[0051] Optionally, when you want to enlarge the virtual game object, you can move upward on the third touch area to enlarge the virtual game object; when you want to shrink the virtual game object, you can move downward on the third touch area to shrink the virtual game object.

In this way, the perspective conversion and zooming of the virtual object can be directly performed by pressing and holding with one hand, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling the virtual object and solving the technical problem of low efficiency of controlling the virtual object.

[0079] In this embodiment, sliding is performed on the touch area other than the third touch area in the first touch area to control the virtual object to flip in the sliding direction. For example, sliding to the right on the area other than the hot zone (the third touch area) can achieve the purpose of controlling the virtual object to flip to the right.

[0080] In this embodiment, in response to the first touch operation on the first touch area, the virtual object is controlled to flip; in response to the second touch operation on the second touch area, a third touch area is generated in the first touch area; in response to the third touch operation on the third touch area, the virtual object is controlled to zoom. That is to say, the present invention generates a third touch area (hot zone) on the first touch area (front screen) by performing a second touch operation on the second touch area (edge ​​screen), and performs a third touch operation in the third touch area (hot zone) to control the zooming of the virtual object. In this way, the perspective conversion and zooming of the virtual object can be directly performed by pressing and holding with one hand, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling the virtual object and solving the technical problem of low efficiency of controlling the virtual object.

[0081] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is further introduced below with examples in combination with preferred implementation modes.

[0082] At present, as virtual objects in various games and applications become more and more sophisticated, more and more games and applications provide the function of carefully observing virtual objects. Users can freely move the perspective and zoom in and out to carefully observe the virtual objects.

[0083] In the related art, the viewing angle is generally changed by sliding the screen, and then there is a zooming progress bar next to it. The virtual object is zoomed in and out by pulling the progress bar. That is, the two operations of changing the viewing angle and zooming in and out need to be completed separately, which leads to the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling the virtual object.

[0084] Therefore, the present invention proposes a one-handed optional zoom model based on an edge curved screen, achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling virtual objects.

[0085] The above method of this embodiment is further introduced below.

[0086] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a control interface of a virtual object according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, a finger is pressed on the edge of the curved screen of the mobile phone, and the first contact point is used as the contact point of the edge screen. A hot zone is formed vertically downward from the contact point on the front screen. The user can move the contact point of the edge screen at will to change the position of the hot zone on the front screen. If the finger is released and there is no contact point, the hot zone disappears; in a normal state, the flip angle of the model is controlled by sliding the thumb up, down, left, and right; when the model is to be zoomed in or out, the index finger is pressed on the edge screen to move the hot zone to the place where the thumb is pressed. At this time, the thumb moves up and down on the hot zone to control the zooming in and out of the model, that is, the viewing angle is changed by sliding outside the hot zone, and zooming in and out is achieved by sliding up and down in the hot zone, thereby achieving the operation of model selection and zooming in and out while always pressing the screen with one hand.

[0087] For non-curved screen mobile phones, ordinary mobile phone screens can consider setting a special contact area at the top of the mobile phone screen to simulate the effect; some folding screens, because the part where the two screens are connected is also a touchable part similar to the edge of the screen, it is a special contact area, which can also achieve this interactive effect.

[0088] In this embodiment, the contact point at the edge of the curved screen of the mobile phone is pressed, and a hot zone is formed vertically downward on the front screen by the contact point. The position of the hot zone on the screen can be changed by controlling the movement of the contact point of the edge screen. The flipping angle of the model can be controlled by sliding the thumb up, down, left, and right. The zooming of the model can be controlled by moving the thumb up and down in the hot zone. This allows the model to be directly converted and zoomed in and out while holding down with one hand, in one step, thereby achieving the technical effect of converting the perspective and zooming in and out with one hand, solving the technical problem that one hand cannot simultaneously convert the perspective and zoom in and out.

[0089] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.
