Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of terminals, and particularly relates to a method, device, terminal device, medium, and program product for game control. Background Art

[0002] With the development of terminal technology, more and more mobile games are supported by terminal devices, and users' requirements for the experience of mobile games are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] Generally, the field of football mobile games is too large, and the content displayed in the picture is limited. It is inconvenient for players to observe the running positions of players outside the picture, and they can only observe the overall situation through the mini-map. The mini-map includes information about 24 players and the ball. In a fast-paced game, it is too stressful to interpret the mini-map.

[0004] Currently, in football competing games, the virtual camera lens can be bound to the football, and the picture perspective can be automatically extended according to the position of the ball; in some moba mobile games, the device can extend the picture perspective by the user manually dragging the screen. However, if the dragging method is adopted in football games, it is easy to conflict with core experience operations, such as accidentally triggering operations such as passing the ball.

[0005] Therefore, the current method of extending the scene picture may lead to a poor user game experience and inflexible picture extension in football competing games. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all implementations. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0039] Next, the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0040] In the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes a scene picture of a game scene captured by a virtual camera. The game scene includes a controlled virtual character and a virtual sphere controlled by the terminal device.

[0041] Figure 1The flowchart of a method for game control provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown as Figure 1 shown, and the method includes the following S101 to S103:

[0042] S101. The terminal device associates the virtual camera with the position of the virtual sphere in the game scene, so as to control the movement of the virtual camera according to the position change of the virtual sphere.

[0043] For example, when the terminal device displays the scene picture of the game scene of a ball mobile game, it can detect whether the terminal device is deflected; for example, the terminal device can determine whether the terminal device is deflected based on the somatosensory technology; it can detect whether the terminal device is deflected according to the data of the angle change detected by the built-in gyroscope.

[0044] Exemplarily, the deflection of the terminal device indicates the dynamic deflection of the terminal device controlled when the user holds the terminal device in a stable posture. For example, when the user holds the terminal device, the screen may have a certain angle with the horizontal plane. When the user needs to extend the scene picture of the game scene, the user can control the terminal device to deflect in a deflection direction.

[0045] For example, if the picture of the entire virtual stadium is too large and cannot be completely displayed on one screen, for example, only part of the virtual stadium can be displayed, such as at least one direction in the horizontal or vertical direction cannot be completely displayed, the user can extend the scene picture by deflecting the terminal device.

[0046] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the extension of the scene picture by the terminal device can indicate the deflection of the virtual camera, the display size of the scene picture remains unchanged, and the display content in the scene picture is extended.

[0047] S102. In response to the deflection operation on the terminal device, control the virtual camera to offset, and display in the graphical user interface the scene picture of the game scene including the controlled virtual character captured after the virtual camera offsets.

[0048] It can be understood that based on the controlled virtual character for picture deflection, the terminal device can control the controlled virtual character to always be displayed in the scene picture of the game scene, which can avoid the situation that the controlled virtual character is not within the displayed scene picture after the scene picture is extended, resulting in inaccurate control.

[0049] S103. In response to the straightening operation on the terminal device, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to return to the position before the offset.

[0050] For example, the straightening operation can be in the opposite direction to the deflection operation.

[0051] It can be understood that after the scene screen of the game scene is deflected by the user, the user can observe the game information such as the movement positions of various virtual characters in the virtual stadium according to the deflected scene screen. After that, the user can perform a straightening operation on the terminal device, which can trigger the terminal device to control the virtual camera to return to the position where it was before the deflection, so that the user can perform subsequent triggering operations in a timely manner according to the observed game information.

[0052] In the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, the graphical user interface includes a scene screen of a game scene captured by a virtual camera, and the game scene includes a controlled virtual character and a virtual sphere controlled by the terminal device. The terminal device can associate the position of the virtual camera with the position of the virtual sphere in the game scene to control the movement of the virtual camera according to the position change of the virtual sphere; the terminal device can detect whether the terminal device is deflected. In the case of deflection, the terminal device can respond to the deflection operation on the terminal device, control the virtual camera to offset, and display in the graphical user interface the scene screen of the game scene including the controlled virtual character captured after the virtual camera is offset; if a straightening operation on the terminal device is detected, the terminal device can control the camera to return to the position where it was before the deflection based on this straightening operation. That is, the scene screen of the game scene can be deflected based on the dynamic deflection of the terminal device, that is, the user can dynamically deflect the terminal device according to needs to manually extend the scene screen, and the screens before and after the deflection both include the controlled virtual character, so that the extension of the scene screen of the game scene is more flexible. Without the user having to interpret the mini-map in the scene screen to observe the whole field situation, the user can timely observe the running positions of the virtual characters on the field. On the one hand, the user does not need to manually drag the screen to extend the screen, which can avoid accidentally triggering core experience commands such as passing the ball; on the other hand, compared with the method of automatically extending the scene screen based on the position of the virtual sphere, it can ensure that the controlled virtual character is always in the scene screen when the scene screen is extended, avoiding the problem that when the user observes the running positions of other controlled virtual characters in the virtual stadium by deflecting the terminal device, the current controlled virtual character cannot be found, resulting in untimely or incorrect control and delaying the opportunity in the case of a very fast game rhythm, thereby improving the game experience of ball mobile games.

[0053] Optionally, in the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, after controlling the virtual camera to offset, the following S104 may further be included:

[0054] S104: The terminal device controls the virtual camera to enter a locked state and locks the scene screen of the game scene captured after the virtual lens is offset as the scene screen of the graphical user interface.

[0055] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the locked state indicates that the scene captured by the virtual camera after offset is maintained without following the movement of the virtual sphere, that is, when the virtual sphere moves, the virtual camera no longer follows the movement.

[0056] It can be understood that when the virtual sphere moves and the virtual camera is not in the locked state, the virtual camera follows the movement of the virtual sphere, and the scene captured by the virtual camera changes as the virtual camera moves.

[0057] Based on this solution, after the terminal device controls the virtual camera to be offset in response to a deflection operation on the terminal device, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to enter the locked state, that is, when the virtual sphere in the game scene moves, the virtual camera no longer follows the movement, and the terminal device locks the game scene captured after the virtual camera is offset as the scene of the graphical user interface, so that the user can observe the movement of the virtual character that was originally not in the scene in the game scene based on the corresponding scene after the terminal device is deflected.

[0058] Optionally, in the method for game control provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, before controlling the virtual camera to be offset, the following S105 may further be included:

[0059] S105: The terminal device determines that the deflection angle of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0060] Wherein, the preset threshold is used to determine whether the user uses the deflection of the terminal device to trigger the terminal device to start controlling the virtual camera to deflect to extend the scene of the game scene.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device can determine a buffer area and a deflection area based on the deflection angle of the terminal device. The deflection angle corresponding to the buffer area can indicate a mis-trigger prevention area. If it is detected that the deflection angle is within this area, the terminal device does not control the virtual camera to be offset, that is, the scene is not extended according to the deflection angle of the terminal. The deflection angle within the deflection area can be an area for triggering the virtual camera to be offset. If it is detected that the deflection angle of the terminal device is within this area, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to be offset.

[0062] Figure 2 For a schematic diagram of a deflection angle provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, it is assumed that the stable posture of the user's handheld terminal device is that the screen is parallel to the horizontal plane. Taking the straight line L0 parallel to the plane where the screen of the terminal device is located as a reference, if the terminal device deflects clockwise or counterclockwise along L0, for example, the deflection angle is in the range of [0, α], that is, the range between L0 - L1 and the range between L0 - L2, then the terminal device determines that the deflection angle is within the buffer zone, and the terminal device does not control the virtual camera to offset; if the terminal device continues to deflect clockwise or counterclockwise along L0, for example, the deflection angle is equal to or greater than α, then the terminal device determines that the deflection angle is located in the deflection zone, and the terminal device can control the virtual camera to offset.

[0063] Optionally, the deflection zone can be a continuous range between L1 - L2, or a discontinuous range between L1 - L2. For example, within a quadrant, when the deflection zone within the quadrant + the buffer zone within the quadrant < 90°, there are two discontinuous deflection zones between L1 - L2.

[0064] Specifically, if the deflection angle is greater than or equal to the target angle, the terminal device displays the scene picture after offsetting the virtual camera based on the deflection angle for the scene picture. A possible example is that when the deflection angle is within a preset angle range, the deflection distance of the deflection angle is proportional to the scene picture of the game scene.

[0065] Exemplarily, the target angle can be the demarcation angle between the above buffer region and the deflection region. That is, when the deflection angle has not reached the target angle, the terminal device can not perform virtual camera offset, and when the deflection angle begins to be greater than the target angle, the terminal device determines that it can start to perform virtual camera offset.

[0066] It can be understood that the preset angle range is the effective angle range within which the terminal device can perform virtual camera offset based on the deflection angle.

[0067] Optionally, the preset angle range can be a dynamically changing range or a static range, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0068] For example, it can be determined whether the preset angle range is dynamically changing based on the display position of the controlled virtual character on the screen.

[0069] Exemplarily, when the controlled virtual character is located in the middle of the screen, the preset angle range can be a relatively large fixed range, and the terminal device can control the virtual camera to deflect left or right; when the controlled virtual character is already located at the screen boundary, the preset angle range can be a dynamically decreasing range, and the terminal device can only extend the picture in the direction away from the screen boundary; when the controlled virtual character moves from the screen boundary position towards the center of the screen, the preset angle range can be a dynamically increasing range.

[0070] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device may also trigger and enter the locked state after determining that the deflection angle is greater than or equal to the target angle. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0071] Based on this solution, the terminal device can determine whether the terminal device has a deflection. When the terminal device determines that the terminal device has a deflection, the terminal device can determine the magnitude of the deflection angle. When the deflection angle is not greater than the target angle, the terminal device can determine that the user may only be adjusting the posture or other situations that cause the device to deflect, rather than needing to extend the scene picture. Therefore, the terminal device can determine not to perform virtual camera offset operations on the scene picture, thereby avoiding the picture extension caused by accidental touch. When the deflection angle is greater than the target angle, the terminal device can determine that the user needs to extend the scene picture, and then the terminal device can deflect the virtual camera, so that the scene picture can be automatically extended accurately according to the user's needs.

[0072] Optionally, in the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the "controlling the virtual camera to perform an offset" in S102 above may be specifically executed through the following S11:

[0073] S11. The terminal device controls the virtual camera to perform an offset according to the deflection angle of the terminal device.

[0074] Among them, the maximum position of the virtual camera offset is the position corresponding to the virtual camera when the controlled virtual character reaches the boundary position of the scene picture.

[0075] Exemplarily, when the terminal device has a deflection, the terminal device may display the captured scene picture after the virtual camera is offset based on the deflection angle. Among them, the captured scene picture after the virtual camera is offset includes the controlled virtual character.

[0076] In a possible example, the greater the deflection angle of the terminal device, the more the virtual camera is offset, and the smaller the deflection angle of the terminal device, the less the virtual camera is offset.

[0077] It should be noted that if the controlled virtual character is already located at the boundary of the screen display area, the deflection of the virtual camera may not be continued to avoid the loss of the controlled virtual character. If the controlled virtual character is already located at the boundary of the screen display area and the user switches the controlled virtual character, the deflection of the virtual camera may be performed based on whether the switched controlled virtual character is at the boundary of the display area.

[0078] Exemplarily, in the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when there is a deflection, the terminal device synchronously displays the deflected scene picture based on the change of the deflection angle.

[0079] For example, as the deflection angle of the terminal device increases, the offset of the virtual camera gradually increases, and the changes in the extended image seen by the user also gradually increase.

[0080] Exemplarily, the virtual camera can move to the right, left, downward, upward, upper right, lower right, upper left, and lower left based on the deflection angle of the terminal device.

[0081] For example, assuming that the user controls the right side of the terminal device to deflect downward, the viewing angle moves to the right, and the right side of the terminal device is deflected downward by 15°, the viewing angle moves synchronously to the right, and the scene picture moves synchronously to the right by 1 / 5. The right side is deflected downward by another 15 degrees, and the viewing angle moves synchronously to the right again, and the scene picture can continue to move synchronously to the right by 1 / 5.

[0082] Based on this solution, when the terminal device is deflected, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to offset based on the change in the deflection angle, and display the scene image captured by the virtual camera after the offset, so that the user can accurately control the extension of the scene image as needed.

[0083] Optionally, in the game control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned S102 may be specifically executed by the following S12:

[0084] S12: In response to the operation of deflecting the terminal device around the Y axis, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to shift along the X axis.

[0085] The X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other, and a plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis is parallel to the display screen of the terminal device.

[0086] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a coordinate system provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided, wherein the plane where the display screen of the terminal device is located is used as an example for explanation. Figure 3 As shown in , taking the horizontal screen state of the terminal as an example, a coordinate system can be established with the X axis parallel to the longer side of the screen and the Y axis parallel to the shorter side of the screen. Figure 3 If the Y-axis is deflected in the image, the virtual camera can be controlled to deflect along the X-axis.

[0087] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if an operation of the terminal device deflecting around an X-axis is detected, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to shift along the Y-axis.

[0088] Based on this solution, the terminal device can respond to the operation of deflecting the terminal device around the Y axis, and the terminal device can control the virtual camera to offset along the X axis, so as to extend the scene image according to the user's usage habits.

[0089] Optionally, in the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above S12 may be specifically executed through the following S13 and S14:

[0090] S13. In response to an operation for the terminal device to deflect clockwise around the Y axis, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to offset in the negative direction of the X axis.

[0091] S14. In response to an operation for the terminal device to deflect counterclockwise around the Y axis, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to offset in the positive direction of the X axis.

[0092] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 3 , if the user controls the terminal device to deflect to the left, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to deflect to the left, and the scene picture displayed on the screen also extends to the left; if the user controls the terminal device to deflect to the right, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to deflect to the right, and the scene picture displayed on the screen also extends to the right. If the user controls the terminal device to deflect away from himself, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to deflect upward, and the scene picture displayed on the screen also extends upward. If the user controls the terminal device to deflect towards himself, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to deflect downward, and the scene picture displayed on the screen also extends downward.

[0093] Exemplarily, taking the case where the user holds the terminal device horizontally as an example, the terminal device controls the scene picture to deflect to the left virtual camera or the right virtual camera for illustration. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a scene picture provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The user holds the terminal device horizontally. Among them, the controlled virtual character 400 is the virtual character currently controlled by the user. The terminal device can control the scene picture to deflect to the left to view the running positions of the players in the left picture. For example, the user can control the top side of the terminal device to deflect downward, or control the bottom side of the terminal device to deflect upward, or deflect both at the same time. Assuming that the relative position of the controlled virtual character 400 in the virtual stadium remains unchanged, the deflected picture can be Figure 5 shown in the picture. After deflection, the display position of the controlled virtual character 400 on the screen is compared with Figure 4 shown in the screen display position in, and it has moved a certain distance to the right. Similarly, the terminal device can control the scene picture to deflect to the right virtual camera to view the running positions of the virtual players in the left picture. For example, the user can control the top side of the terminal device to deflect upward, or control the bottom side of the terminal device to deflect downward, or deflect both at the same time. Assuming that the relative position of the controlled virtual character 400 in the virtual stadium remains unchanged, the deflected picture can be Figure 5 shown in the picture. After deflection, the display position of the controlled virtual character 400 on the screen is compared with Figure 4At the screen display position shown in the figure, it has been moved a certain distance to the left.

[0094] Based on this solution, the terminal device can determine the offset direction of the virtual camera according to the direction in which the terminal device deflects around the Y axis, so that the extension direction of the scene picture can be determined based on the offset direction of the virtual camera.

[0095] In a possible example, in the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device can also determine the offset direction of the virtual camera based on the target center line, where the target center line is a straight line perpendicular to the screen of the terminal device. If the target center line deflects towards the target side and the deflected angle is greater than the target angle, the terminal device controls the virtual camera to offset towards the target side based on the deflection angle.

[0096] Exemplarily, Figure 7 As a schematic diagram of a target center line provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 7 shown, the terminal device can determine whether to perform virtual camera offset based on the change in the deflection angle of the straight line L3 perpendicular to the screen plane. Taking the left side as an example, when the initial state of the terminal device is the angle indicated by L0, when the screen of the terminal device deflects beyond L1, the terminal device can start virtual camera offset.

[0100] S106: The terminal device releases the locked state of the virtual camera to restore controlling the movement of the virtual camera according to the position change of the virtual sphere.

[0101] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the user observes the deflected scene picture by deflecting the terminal device and then returns to the original position for operation, and if a return-to-normal operation triggered by the user is detected, the terminal device can control the virtual camera to return to the position before this deflection and release the locked state of the virtual camera, that is, no longer deflect the virtual camera based on the deflection of the terminal device, but continue to control the movement of the virtual camera based on the position change of the virtual sphere, and the scene picture no longer extends based on the deflection of the terminal device, so as to facilitate the user to continue operating based on the original position.

[0102] It should be noted that for the game control method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the execution subject can be a game control device, or a control module for executing the game control method in the game control device.

[0104] Optionally, the game control device further includes: a locking module; the locking module is used to control the virtual camera to enter a locked state after the control module controls the virtual camera to offset, and lock the scene picture of the game scene captured after the virtual lens offsets as the scene picture of the graphical user interface.

[0105] Optionally, the game control device further includes: a determination module; the determination module is used to, before the control module controls the virtual camera to offset: determine that the deflection angle of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0106] Optionally, the control module is specifically configured to: control the virtual camera to offset according to the deflection angle of the terminal device; wherein, the maximum position of the virtual camera offset is the position corresponding to the virtual camera when the controlled virtual character reaches the boundary position of the scene picture.

[0107] Optionally, the control module is specifically configured to: respond to an operation of deflecting the terminal device around the Y-axis, and control the virtual camera to offset along the X-axis, wherein the X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other, and the plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis is parallel to the display screen of the terminal device.

[0108] Optionally, the control module is specifically configured to: respond to an operation of deflecting the terminal device around the Y-axis in the clockwise direction, and control the virtual camera to offset in the negative direction of the X-axis; respond to an operation of deflecting the terminal device around the Y-axis in the counterclockwise direction, and control the virtual camera to offset in the positive direction of the X-axis.

[0109] Optionally, the locking module is further configured to: when the control module controls the virtual camera to return to the position before the offset, release the locked state of the virtual camera to resume controlling the movement of the virtual camera according to the position change of the virtual sphere.

[0110] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game control device. When providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, the graphical user interface includes a scene image of a game scene captured by a virtual camera. In the case where the game scene includes a controlled virtual character controlled by the terminal device and a virtual sphere, the terminal device can associate the position of the virtual camera with the position of the virtual sphere in the game scene to control the movement of the virtual camera according to the position change of the virtual sphere. The terminal device can detect whether the terminal device is deflected. In the case of deflection, the terminal device can respond to the deflection operation on the terminal device, control the virtual camera to offset, and display in the graphical user interface the scene image of the game scene including the controlled virtual character captured after the virtual camera offsets. If a rectification operation on the terminal device is detected, the terminal device can, based on this rectification operation, control the camera to return to the position where it was before deflection. That is, the scene image of the game scene can be deflected based on the dynamic deflection of the terminal device, that is, the user can dynamically deflect the terminal device according to needs to manually extend the scene image, and the images before and after deflection both include the controlled virtual character, so that the extension of the scene image of the game scene is more flexible.

On the one hand, the user does not need to manually drag the screen to extend the image, which can avoid accidentally triggering core experience commands such as passing the ball. On the other hand, compared with the method of automatically extending the scene image based on the position of the virtual sphere, it can ensure that the controlled virtual character is always in the scene image when the scene image extends, avoiding the problem that when the user observes the running positions of other controlled virtual characters in the virtual stadium by deflecting the terminal device, the current controlled virtual character cannot be found, resulting in untimely or incorrect control and delaying the fighter opportunity in the case of a very fast game rhythm.
