[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Running a merchant is a business-type task in some online games. Players, with a certain amount of capital, engage in buying and selling goods between non-player characters (NPCs) in various locations, mimicking the real-world strategy of buying low and selling high to profit from the price difference, achieving the task objective, and then receiving rewards. The primary purpose is to gain guild contribution points to learn auxiliary skills and improve cultivation within the guild. This has also led to the emergence of professional merchants who earn merchant rewards.

[0026] Typically, in a gang-based trading activity, there are multiple merchants in a given scene, each with different prices for their goods, resulting in price differences. Players mainly record these price differences by entering each merchant's price in the chat interface or simply by temporarily memorizing the prices.

[0027] However, among the above methods, manually entering prices into the chat window is complicated and prone to errors, while temporarily memorizing prices is unreliable and few players can remember them. Players may need to interact with the same NPC multiple times to obtain the NPC's item trading information, which affects the player's gaming experience.

[0028] Based on this, the present invention provides a method, device and electronic device for displaying and controlling virtual item information, which can be applied to various virtual item trading scenarios.

[0029] The virtual item information display control method disclosed in one embodiment of this invention can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the virtual item information display control method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0030] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program's execution and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the virtual item information display control method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0031] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0032] In one possible implementation, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for displaying and controlling virtual item information, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device; the GUI displays a first game scene containing the controlled virtual object; the first game scene includes at least one interactive virtual object. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S102: In response to the viewing operation of the item trading information of the first interactive virtual object, the first virtual item trading window of the first interactive virtual object is displayed; the first virtual item trading window displays the item trading information and information recording control of the first interactive virtual object.

[0034] The aforementioned interactive virtual objects can be non-player characters or virtual objects controlled by other players. Players can control the controlled virtual objects to interact with the interactive virtual objects in the first game scene. The operation of viewing item trading information for the first interactive virtual object can be one of the interaction operations. Interactive controls or interactive icons are usually displayed around the first interactive virtual object. Players can interact by clicking the interactive controls or clicking the first interactive virtual object with the interactive icon. At this time, the graphical user interface can display multiple interaction option selection controls, or directly display the first virtual item trading window of the first interactive virtual object.

[0035] When there are multiple interaction options between the player and the first interactive virtual object, a selection control for multiple interaction options will be displayed on the graphical user interface after the player clicks on the interactive control or the first interactive virtual object. If the player selects the selection control indicating that they want to view item trading information, in response to this selection, a corresponding virtual item trading window can be displayed above the first interactive virtual object's head or at another designated location.

[0036] The aforementioned first virtual item trading window displays the item trading information for the first interactive virtual object. Typically, the item trading information differs depending on whether the first interactive virtual object is a seller or a buyer. When the first interactive virtual object is a seller, the item trading information may include the type, quantity, and trading price of the virtual items to be sold. When the first interactive virtual object is a buyer, the item trading information may include the identifier of the virtual item to be purchased, the quantity to be purchased, and the offered purchase price. When there is a time limit for purchasing virtual items, information such as the remaining purchase or transaction time may also be displayed.

[0037] The information recording control displayed in the first item trading window mentioned above can be one, such as... Figure 2 As shown. When a player selects this information recording control, it records the transaction information of all virtual items for the first interactive virtual object. When there are multiple types of virtual items that can be sold or bought in the item transaction information, an information recording control can be set for each virtual item, such as... Figure 3 As shown. When a player selects an information recording control, the transaction information of the virtual item corresponding to that information recording control is recorded.

[0038] Step S104: In response to the selection operation of the information recording control in the first virtual item trading window, the transaction information recording window is displayed; the transaction information recording window displays the item trading information of the first interactive virtual object.

[0039] The selection operation described above can typically be a click or a long press. As mentioned above, the information recording control can be set for the overall item trading information of the first interactive virtual object, or it can be set for each tradable virtual item of the first interactive virtual object separately. Therefore, after the player selects the information recording control, a trading information recording window is displayed in the graphical user interface. The item trading information displayed in this window is the item trading information corresponding to the information recording control clicked by the player, that is, the overall item trading information, or the item trading information of one or several items.

[0040] To help players remember the interactive virtual characters corresponding to item trade information, the trade information record window can also display trade information such as the name or icon of the interactive virtual object corresponding to that item trade, for example... Figure 4 As shown. This transaction information record window can be displayed at a certain location on the controlled virtual object, such as above its head, or at a fixed location in the graphical user interface, such as the upper left corner of the graphical user interface. Figure 4 As shown. Specific settings can be customized according to requirements; no restrictions are imposed here.

[0041] Step S106: In response to the movement of the controlled virtual object, control the transaction information recording window to move along with the controlled virtual object.

[0042] While the player is controlling the movement of the controlled virtual object, the transaction information record window needs to be kept constantly displayed in the graphical user interface. This specified location can be a fixed position within the graphical user interface, or it can be a position related to the controlled virtual character, such as the transaction information record window always being displayed above the controlled virtual character's head.

[0043] To allow players to easily position the transaction information record window, it is draggable. Responding to a player's dragging action, the window will appear at the end of the drag. A delete control can be placed in the upper right corner of the window; clicking this control will remove the window from the graphical user interface. Since the transaction information record window contains information about interactive virtual objects within the first game scene, the window will also disappear from the graphical user interface when the player controls the controlled virtual object to leave the first game scene.

[0044] The aforementioned method for displaying virtual item information, in response to a viewing operation of item trading information for a first interactive virtual object, displays a first virtual item trading window for the first interactive virtual object; in response to a selection operation of an information recording control within the first virtual item trading window, displays a trading information recording window; this trading information recording window displays the item trading information of the first interactive virtual object; and in response to movement of a controlled virtual object, controls the trading information recording window to move along with the controlled virtual object. In this method, the virtual item trading window of the interactive virtual object is equipped with an information recording control. When a player clicks this control, a trading information recording window appears, displaying the item trading information of the virtual object. This allows players to view the item trading information of virtual objects they have already interacted with at any time, improving the player's gaming experience.

[0045] The following embodiments provide a specific method for displaying a virtual item trading window of the first interactive virtual object in response to a viewing operation of item trading information for the first interactive virtual object.

[0046] Generally, there are various ways to interact between controlled and interactive virtual objects, such as chatting, dancing, or viewing certain information. Players can trigger interactions between controlled and interactive virtual objects through specific interactive actions. When a player interacts by clicking on an interactive virtual object or its corresponding interactive control, the system responds to the interaction with the first interactive virtual object by displaying the corresponding transaction information viewing control. Players can select this control by clicking or long-pressing, and in response to the selection of the transaction information viewing control for the first interactive virtual object, the system displays the virtual item trading window for that first interactive virtual object.

[0047] When a corresponding trade information viewing control is displayed directly around an interactive virtual object, players can directly select that control to view the item trade information of the first interactive virtual object. The specific method for triggering the display of the virtual item trade window for the first interactive virtual object can be determined according to the game system settings and is not limited here.

[0048] The following embodiment provides a specific method for displaying the transaction information record window in response to the selection operation of the information record control in the first virtual item transaction window.

[0049] When the graphical user interface displays a controlled virtual object, after the player selects the information recording control in the first virtual item trading window, the system responds to the selection operation of the information recording control in the first virtual item trading window and displays the trading information recording window at a specified location on the controlled virtual object. The specified location can be any position that will not obstruct the player's view, such as above or below the controlled virtual object; the specific location can be set according to needs and is not limited here.

[0050] In practical implementation, an anchor point corresponding to the controlled virtual object can be preset. This anchor point has preset relative position parameters with the controlled virtual object, such as the anchor point being located at a preset height above the head of the controlled virtual object. When displaying the transaction information record window, it can respond to the selection operation of the information record control in the first virtual item transaction window. Based on the position of the controlled virtual object in the first game scene and the preset relative position parameters between the anchor point and the controlled virtual object, the corresponding position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface is determined. Then, the transaction information record window is displayed at the corresponding position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface, which can also be described as "hanging" the transaction information record window on the anchor point.

[0051] In practical implementation, the graphical user interface (GUI) typically displays multiple interactive virtual objects. After the player selects the information recording control in the first virtual item trading window, the GUI already displays the trading information recording window. When the player views the item trading information of the second interactive virtual object, in response to the viewing operation for the item trading information of the second interactive virtual object, a second virtual item trading window for the second interactive virtual object is also displayed; this window also contains the information recording control. When the player selects this control, in response to the selection operation for the information recording control in the second virtual item trading window, the displayed trading information recording window needs to be updated; the updated trading information recording window displays the item trading information of both the first and second interactive virtual objects. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the transaction information record window displays the item transaction information for Object 1 and Object 2.

[0052] When the interactive virtual object is a non-player character, the system may automatically update its item trading information, such as changing the types, quantities, or prices of tradable items. When the interactive virtual object is controlled by another player, the player controlling the virtual object can modify the item trading information through editing operations. Both methods can generate update events for the interactive virtual object's item trading information. In response to the update event for the first interactive virtual object's item trading information, the transaction information record window is updated; the updated transaction information record window displays the updated item trading information for the first interactive virtual object.

[0053] In its implementation, the aforementioned transaction information record window can also display an identifier control for the first interactive virtual object. When a player clicks this identifier control, in response to the click operation on the identifier control of the first interactive virtual object, the controlled virtual object can be moved to a relevant area of ​​the first interactive virtual object in the first game scene; wherein, the relevant area includes positions that are less than a preset distance threshold from the location of the first interactive virtual object in the first game scene. This method allows the controlled virtual character to quickly move to the vicinity of the location of the interactive virtual object to be traded, facilitating the player's trading operations.

[0054] The following embodiments provide a specific method for controlling a transaction information recording window to move in response to the movement of a controlled virtual object.

[0055] After the player selects the information recording control, the transaction information recording window is displayed on the graphical user interface. Anchor points corresponding to the controlled virtual object can be preset, causing the transaction information recording window to appear at the corresponding position of that anchor point in the graphical user interface. In specific implementation, the position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface can be determined based on the position of the controlled virtual object in the first game scene and the preset relative position parameters between the anchor point and the controlled virtual object. When the player moves the controlled virtual object, in response to the movement, the position of the controlled virtual object in the first game scene is updated; based on the updated position of the controlled virtual object in the first game scene and the preset relative position parameters between the anchor point and the controlled virtual object, the updated position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface is determined; and the transaction information recording window is displayed at the updated position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface.

[0056] When a player needs the transaction information record window to be fixed in a certain position, they can drag the window. This dragging operation can be considered a sliding operation starting from the transaction information record window. In response to this sliding operation, the mapping between the anchor point and the controlled virtual object is first released; then, the anchor point's corresponding position in the graphical user interface is updated based on the touch point position of the sliding operation, and the transaction information record window is displayed at the updated position of the anchor point in the graphical user interface. When the sliding operation ends, the movement of both the anchor point and the transaction information record window stops, leaving the transaction information record window in its current position.

[0057] To make it easier for players to close the transaction information record window, a delete control has been added to a designated location within the window, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the control is indicated by an "×". Players can select and delete the control; in response to the selection of the deleted control, the transaction information record window will be canceled.

[0058] When a player controls a controlled virtual object to leave the first game scene and enter the second game scene, the transaction information record window is canceled in response to the trigger event of the controlled virtual object entering the second game scene.

[0059] This invention also provides another method for controlling the display of virtual item information. This method... Figure 1 This method is implemented based on the method shown. In this method, the interactive virtual character is called a merchant NPC, the virtual item trading window is called a product pop-up, the information recording control is called a "Record Product Price" button, and the transaction information recording window is called a product price list floating window. The "Record Product Price" button is set in the product pop-up. This method is specifically implemented in the following way:

[0060] 1. Players who receive a trade mission can open a product pop-up window on any trader NPC. This can be done by clicking the corresponding interactive control for that NPC, or by directly clicking the NPC. The product pop-up window displays the product's identifier and price, and a "Record Product Price" button is displayed in the lower half of the window. Figure 7 As shown, clicking the button will record the product price in this pop-up window.

[0061] 2. After clicking the "Record Product Price" button, a floating window displaying the merchant's product price list will appear above the player-controlled virtual character's model in the scene. The floating window can be dragged to any position with the mouse. Product prices are updated in real time. Clicking the close button in the upper right corner will close the product price floating window.

[0062] 3. When the player-controlled virtual character arrives at another merchant NPC in the same scene and interacts with that NPC, clicking the "Record Product Price" button in the NPC's product pop-up window will record the product prices. This means the prices of all the NPCs' products that the player has interacted with will be displayed in a floating product price list window. Figure 8 As shown, the product price list pop-up window displays the merchant labels: "NPC1", "NPC2", and the product identifier and price given by each merchant.

[0063] 4. When the prices of goods from two or more merchants are recorded, a floating window above the character model's head will display a list of prices from multiple merchants. The prices can be refreshed in real time, and clicking on the merchant's label on the left side of the floating window will automatically navigate the character.

[0064] This method can only record the prices of goods in the same scene. When the player enters a new scene and repeats the price recording operation, a new floating window of the prices of goods in that scene will appear above the character's head.

[0065] The above method uses a pop-up window above the character model's head to quickly record product prices, helping players quickly preview the prices of different merchants. This reduces the number of times players have to run back and forth between several merchants in the same scene because they can't remember the prices, eliminating the headache of forgetting product prices. Furthermore, by clicking on the merchant's label in the pop-up window, automatic pathfinding is achieved, which helps players quickly find merchants in the scene, improving convenience and making the overall gameplay smoother.

[0066] For the above method embodiments, see Figure 9 The device shown is a display and control device for virtual item information, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device; the graphical user interface displays a first game scene where the controlled virtual object is located; the first game scene includes at least one interactive virtual object; the device includes:
