[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Current game screens usually include multiple display levels, and different display levels are used to display different information. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the game screen includes an interface layer and a scene layer, wherein the scene layer is used to display the game scene screen, and the interface layer is used to display various control information in the game. This may cause information at different display layers to overlap and block each other, making it impossible for players to quickly obtain the blocked information, resulting in reduced players' ability to recognize and perceive information. In addition, if important information is blocked, it may also cause the game to fail, resulting in a poor gaming experience for players.

[0024] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the enemy avatar's health bar is displayed at the scene level, while a float is displayed at the interface level. The float is used to indicate in-game information, such as game status and progress. In the game screen, the float obscures the enemy avatar's health bar, and the two controls overlap, making it difficult for the player to quickly identify the enemy avatar's health bar when controlling the controlled avatar in battle. However, the float's prompt information is also important to the player in the game, and it is not possible to delete the float or health bar after occlusion. From a development perspective, the float is typically attached to the HUD (head-up display) level at the interface level, while the health bar is typically attached to the model within the three-dimensional scene (i.e., the controlled avatar) at the scene level. Therefore, it is impossible to compare the health bar with the float and update its display independently. Especially in scenes with a large amount of HUD information, overlapping controls at different levels often occur.

[0025] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method, device, and electronic device for displaying information in a game. This technology can be applied to terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, and can especially be applied to devices for games with overlapping controls at different display levels.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for displaying information in a game can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for displaying information in a game is run 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.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the information display method in the game are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is to receive and send data and present the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, TV, computer, PDA, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud is responsible for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instructions, 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.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through an electronic device and running it. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the terminal's display screen, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes the game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0029] In one possible implementation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for displaying information in a game, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) via a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. The GUI includes a first display layer and a second display layer, wherein the display priority of the second display layer is greater than the display priority of the first display layer. The first display layer is used to display a game scene of a target game, which includes at least a first virtual character and first control information associated with the first virtual character. The second display layer is used to display second control information of the target game.

[0030] The first display layer typically refers to the scene layer within the game screen. The second display layer typically refers to the interface layer within the game screen, including the HUD layer. The first virtual character typically refers to a character model within the game scene, such as a 3D model. The first virtual character can be controlled via a terminal device or other terminal devices.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] Step S202: creating a dynamic mask for the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character, so that the display priority of the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character is consistent with the display priority of the second display layer;

[0033] The above-mentioned first control information can be information that is always associated with the first virtual character, such as the attribute information of the first virtual character (blood information, combat information, etc.); it can also be information that is temporarily associated with the first virtual character and displayed, such as danger prompt information, gain prompt information, etc.

[0034] In actual implementation, a "mask splitting" method is used to treat the first virtual character and the first control information as a whole, creating a dynamic mask. The first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character displayed on the first display layer are placed in the same display hierarchy as the second control information in the second display layer. That is, the display priority of the first virtual character and the first control information in the dynamic mask is consistent with the display priority of the second control information. By creating a dynamic mask, the second control information in the second display layer can be processed on the same layer as the first control information.

[0035] For example, Figure 3 As shown, in the graphical user interface, the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character are taken as a whole to create a dynamic mask. The dynamic mask, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The area indicated by arrow 1 in the figure. The black area is the second display layer. The second control information (such as Figure 3 By creating a dynamic mask, the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character displayed on the first display layer and the second control information in the second display layer are set to one display level.

[0036] Step S204, in response to the designated event being triggered, controlling the second control information to move on the second display layer;

[0037] The aforementioned designated event includes the player controlling the controlled virtual character to move within the game scene. Alternatively, it may be the triggering of a designated game event, such as the player-controlled virtual character defeating a target object, or the current game entering a specific game time. The aforementioned second control information may be used to indicate the current game state or the virtual character's character state.

[0038] In this embodiment, the manner in which the second control information moves on the second display layer is not limited. The second control information may be generated upon a specified event being triggered, and controlled to move along a predetermined trajectory from the starting point to the end point of the trajectory, for example, from the leftmost side of the graphical user interface to the rightmost side of the graphical user interface. Alternatively, the second control information may be controlled to move along a fixed trajectory based on the perspective of the controlled virtual character as the controlled virtual character moves within the game scene. Specifically, the second control information may be controlled to move along a fixed trajectory based on the shooting angle of the virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character.

[0039] Step S206 , in response to the distance between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character being less than a preset threshold, updating the display state of the second control information so that the updated first control information and the second control information do not block each other.

[0040] The preset threshold typically refers to the distance between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character at which occlusion begins between the second control information and the first control information. The display state of the second control information includes at least the movement speed, movement trajectory, transparency, and control size of the second control information. The display state of the second control information can be updated based on the actual game state or pre-configured update information.

[0041] In one possible way, since a dynamic mask is created, when the second control information moves on the second display layer, if the second control information touches the dynamic mask (for example, the second control information collides with the dynamic mask), the second control information will stop moving. In other words, the dynamic mask blocks the second control information, so that there will be no overlap between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character.

[0042] Additionally, the distance between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character can be monitored. When the distance is less than a preset threshold, the display state of the second control information is updated. For example, in some scenarios, the distance between the first control information and the second control information is relatively large, which facilitates subsequent updates to the second control information. Therefore, the display state of the second control information is updated before the second control information collides with the dynamic mask.

[0043] Among them, the updating method of the second control information can be to control the second control information to stop moving so that the second control information and the first control information do not block each other. In order to further improve the information display effect, on this basis, the second control information can also be controlled to be enlarged, reduced, hidden, simplified, etc. according to the current game state (for example, the second control information includes patterns and text in the initial display state, and only patterns or text are displayed after simplification). In addition, the second control information can also be directly controlled to be displayed transparently. Of course, the second control information can also be controlled to be displayed in thumbnail form, for example, the second control information can be abbreviated to an arrow icon and displayed near the first control information. When the player controls the mouse to move to the arrow icon and clicks it, or touches the arrow icon with a finger, the complete second control information is displayed.

[0044] The information display method in the above-mentioned game creates a dynamic mask of the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character, so that the display priority of the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character is consistent with the display priority of the second display layer; in response to a specified event being triggered, the second control information is controlled to move on the second display layer; in response to the distance between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character being less than a preset threshold, the display state of the second control information is updated so that the updated first control information and the second control information do not obstruct each other. In this method, by creating a dynamic mask, the display priority of the first virtual character and the first control information is consistent with the display priority of the second display layer, and then the distance between the second control information and the first control information can be detected, and the display state of the second control information is adjusted according to the distance, avoiding the problem of information obstruction, improving the player's ability to recognize and perceive information, and thus improving the game winning rate and the player's gaming experience.

[0045] Furthermore, the dynamic mask moves in the first display layer following the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character are taken as a whole to create a dynamic mask, and the dynamic mask follows the first virtual character and the first control information associated with the first virtual character and moves in real time on the first display layer.

[0047] In this manner, the dynamic mask is controlled to move along with the first virtual character and the first control information, thereby ensuring that the second control information and the first control information do not block each other.

[0048] According to the above step S206, a possible implementation method of the step of updating the display status of the second control information is as follows:

[0049] Step 1: Control the second control information to pause moving so that the first control information and the second control information do not block each other;

[0050] Step 2: Update the display status of the second control information or the first control information to highlight the first control information or the second control information.

[0051] In actual implementation, when the distance between the second control information and the first control information associated with the first virtual character is less than a preset threshold, the second control information is controlled to pause moving so that the first control information and the second control information in the dynamic mask do not block each other.

[0052] Then, update the display status of the second control information, or the display status of the first control information, to highlight the first control information, or the second control information. For example, if you need to highlight the first control information, you can control the second control information to be reduced, hidden, simplified, etc., or control the first control information to be enlarged. Among them, when controlling the first control information to be enlarged, it is necessary to ensure that the enlarged first control information and the second control information do not obstruct each other. For another example, if you need to highlight the second control information, you can control the first control information to be reduced, hidden, simplified, etc., or control the second control information to be enlarged.

[0053] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the second control information moves near the dynamic mask, the second control information is first controlled to pause moving, and then the display status of the second control information or the first control information can be updated according to the actual game status and the preset weight. For example, if the preset weight of the second control information is greater than the preset weight of the first control information, the second control information will be highlighted; if the preset weight of the second control information is less than the preset weight of the first control information, the first control information will be highlighted.

[0054] In this manner, by controlling the second control information to pause movement, the problem of mutual obstruction between control information is avoided. At the same time, the control information is highlighted as needed, thereby improving the player's recognition of the control information.

[0055] According to step 2 above, a possible implementation method of updating the display status of the second control information or the first control information to highlight the first control information or the second control information is as follows:

[0056] If the current game state is the first game state, determine to highlight the first control information, and update the display state of the second control information or the first control information according to the preset first configuration information;

[0057] If the current game state is the second game state, determine to highlight the second control information, and update the display state of the second control information or the first control information according to the preset second configuration information.

[0058] The above-mentioned first game state at least includes that the controlled virtual character controlled by the player is fighting with the enemy virtual character. In this embodiment, the controlled virtual character controlled by the player is fighting with the first virtual character. The above-mentioned first configuration information at least includes a weight for the first control information and a weight for the second control information, wherein the weight for the first control information is less than the weight for the second control information. It also includes update information for the second control information or the first control information. For example, a variety of configuration information is configured for the first control information and the second control information in advance, and then the pre-configured first configuration information is determined according to the first game state, and the display status of the first control information and the second control information is updated according to the first configuration information. For example, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced size, hidden display, simplified display, etc., or the first control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged size.

[0059] The above-mentioned second game state at least includes that the controlled virtual character controlled by the player is not fighting with the enemy virtual character. In this embodiment, the controlled virtual character controlled by the player is not fighting with the first virtual character. The above-mentioned second configuration information at least includes a weight for the first control information and a weight for the second control information, wherein the weight for the first control information is greater than the weight for the second control information. It also includes update information for the second control information or the first control information. For example, multiple configuration information is configured for the first control information and the second control information in advance, and then the pre-configured second configuration information is determined according to the second game state, and the display status of the first control information and the second control information is updated according to the second configuration information. For example, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged manner, or the first control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced manner.

[0060] In actual implementation, if the current game state is that the player-controlled virtual character is battling the first virtual character, that is, in the first game state, the player is primarily engaged in combat, and the first control information associated with the first virtual character needs to be highlighted. If the current game state is that the player-controlled virtual character is not battling the first virtual character, that is, in the second game state, the player is primarily engaged in observing information within the game scene, and the second control information needs to be highlighted.

[0061] In the above method, by determining the player's current game status and updating the display status of the second control information or the first control information according to the preset corresponding configuration information, the player's recognition and perception of the control information, as well as the game experience, are improved.

[0062] Furthermore, according to the preset first configuration information, a step of updating the display status of the second control information or the first control information is a possible implementation method: according to the first configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced size, simplified size, or hidden size, and / or the first control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged size.

[0063] It is understood that, based on the first configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced size, simplified display, or hidden, and the first control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged size. Alternatively, based on the first configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced size, simplified display, or hidden. Alternatively, based on the first configuration information, the first control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged size.

[0064] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the second control information is buoy "A". According to the first configuration information, buoy "A" is controlled to be displayed in a reduced size. The reduction ratio of buoy "A" can also be set according to different game types. If the second control information needs to be controlled to be displayed in a simplified manner, for example, if the initial state of the second control information is a pattern and text, only the pattern or text will be displayed after the simplified display. If the second control information overlaps or interferes with the first control information, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), the minimum scale of the float "A" is reached, and the second control information cannot be further reduced. At this time, the second control information can be hidden under the dynamic mask, or the second control information can be controlled to be transparent. Figure 5 As shown in (c), the float "A" can be hidden under the dynamic mask. In addition, the first control information can be controlled to be magnified and displayed.

[0065] In addition, the above controls can be displayed in a weighted manner, and the above weights are usually for the second control information, and the first control information associated with the first virtual character. Specifically, according to the different game scenes in which the player is in the game, the second control information or the first control information can be displayed with priority according to the weight. For example, the higher the priority of the second control information, the larger the control icon displayed in the graphical user interface. Moreover, the range of the weight usually has a maximum value and a minimum value to ensure the readability and recognizability of the second control information or the first control information. The above maximum and minimum values ​​can usually be used as critical points. When the second control information reaches the minimum value of the weight, in order to ensure the player's recognition of the second control information, the control can be hidden. For example, in the second display layer, the buoy has a preset track to follow and cannot deviate from the preset track. Therefore, when the buoy reaches the critical point, it can no longer be reduced. At this time, the buoy can be hidden under the dynamic mask.

[0066] For example, Figure 4As shown, players in the battle need to clearly know the health bar status of the enemy player. Therefore, according to the preset first configuration information, for example, according to the weight classification display, the weight value of the second control information is less than the weight value of the first control information. When the second control information and the first control information are mutually blocked, the float can be controlled to pause moving and the display status of the second control information or the first control information can be updated, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second control information can be updated to zoom out. Of course, the second control information can also be updated to hide or simplify the display, or the first control can be updated to zoom in.

[0067] In the above manner, the first control information is highlighted according to the preset first configuration information, thereby improving the player's recognition of the first control information in the first game state.

[0068] Furthermore, a possible implementation of the step of updating the display state of the second control information or the first control information according to the preset second configuration information is as follows:

[0069] According to the preset second configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged manner and / or the first control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced manner.

[0070] It is understood that, according to the second configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged manner, and the first control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced manner. Alternatively, according to the second configuration information, the second control information is controlled to be displayed in an enlarged manner, or according to the first configuration information, the first control information is controlled to be displayed in a reduced manner.

[0071] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the second control information is a buoy "A", and according to the second configuration information, the buoy "A" is controlled to be enlarged and displayed. In addition, the first control information can also be controlled to be reduced and displayed.

[0072] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the first control information is a health bar. Therefore, according to the preset second configuration information, the weight ratio of the float as the second control information in this game screen is greater than the health bar information. Therefore, when the second control information overlaps with the first control information, the control float stops moving, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (b), the second control information can be controlled to be enlarged or the first control information can be controlled to be reduced. In addition, the second control information can be a health bar, a buff prompt, a danger prompt, a defense value, a force value, etc.

[0073] In addition, according to different game types and their attribute information, the judgment rules such as weighted graded display or importance display can be further refined, for example, when to display according to weight level, how to update the display status of the second control information or the first control information, etc.

[0074] In the above manner, the second control information is highlighted according to the preset second configuration information, thereby improving the player's recognition of the second control information in the second game state.

[0075] According to the above step S204, in response to the designated event being triggered, the step of controlling the second control information to move on the second display layer, a possible implementation method is:

[0076] In response to the controlled virtual character moving in the game scene, the second control information is controlled to move on a preset track according to the virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character; wherein the controlled virtual character is controlled by the terminal device, and the first virtual character and the controlled virtual character belong to different game camps.

[0077] In actual implementation, when the controlled virtual character moves in the game scene, the second control information is controlled to move on a preset track according to the virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character, where the preset track can be rectangular, elliptical, etc. Some preset tracks are large, and some preset tracks are small.

[0078] For example, Figure 7 The second control information always moves along the elliptical track shown. This preset track is usually not displayed in the second display layer. In addition, the preset track shape is usually different for different game types and game scenes. For example, some games set the track shape to be rectangular to allow players to focus on the enemy and friendly states.

[0079] After updating the display mode of the second control information or the first control information according to step 2 above to highlight the first control information or the second control information, the method further includes:
