Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a game interaction method, a game interaction device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In some games, information exchange is necessary for better teamwork. In related technologies, players typically communicate via voice or text. However, since accurate location information within the game environment is difficult to convey through voice or text alone, this method cannot fully meet players' needs for location communication. To address this, some technologies use marking on the game map to transmit location information. However, because the game map is separate from the actual game environment, this method is not accurate or intuitive for teammates.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a game interaction method, a game interaction device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device, thereby overcoming, to at least a certain extent, the problems of poor interaction accuracy and intuitiveness in related technologies.

[0005] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part from practice of this disclosure.

[0006] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a game interaction method is provided, wherein a graphical user interface is provided through a first terminal device, the graphical user interface displaying a game screen obtained by observing a game scene from a first game perspective corresponding to a first virtual character, the game scene including the first virtual character and a second virtual character, the first virtual character being controlled by the first terminal device, the method comprising: providing a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character in the graphical user interface; and, in response to a first operation on the character identification control of the second virtual character, controlling the display of the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the first game perspective in the graphical user interface to display a game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective; wherein the second game perspective is the game perspective corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0007] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a game interaction device is provided, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) via a first terminal device. The GUI displays a game scene viewed from a first game perspective corresponding to a first virtual character. The game scene includes the first virtual character and a second virtual character. The first virtual character is controlled by the first terminal device. The device includes: an identification control providing module, configured to provide a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character in the GUI; and a game scene switching module, configured to, in response to a first operation on the character identification control of the second virtual character, control the switching of the game scene displayed in the GUI from the first game perspective to the second game perspective; wherein the second game perspective is the game perspective corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0008] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described game interaction method and its possible implementations.

[0009] According to a fourth aspect of this disclosure, an electronic device is provided, comprising: one or more processors; and a storage device for storing one or more programs, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement the above-described game interaction method and its possible implementations.

[0010] The technical solution disclosed herein has the following beneficial effects: During the aforementioned game interaction, a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character is provided in the graphical user interface. In response to a first operation on the character identification control for the second virtual character, the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface, viewed from the first game perspective, is switched to a game screen viewed from the second game perspective. The second game perspective is the game viewpoint corresponding to the second virtual character. By switching the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the first game perspective to the second game perspective, the game screen viewed from the perspective of other virtual characters is realized. This not only enriches the interactive experience for game players but also facilitates more precise location communication between players.

[0011] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0015] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0016] In this article, "first," "second," etc., are labels for specific objects, rather than limiting the number or order of objects.

[0017] In related technologies, voice or text-based interaction methods cannot meet the communication needs of players for location information; and the interaction method of marking on the game map is not accurate or intuitive for teammates because the game map is separate from the game scene.

[0018] In view of one or more of the above-mentioned problems, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide a game interaction method, a game interaction device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device.

[0019] Optionally, this game interaction method can be applied to team-based combat games from a first-person perspective.

[0020] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game interaction method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game interaction method runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0021] In one alternative 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 and the game screen presentation are separate. The storage and execution of the game interaction method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. 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 game interaction 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.

[0022] In one alternative 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 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.

[0023] This disclosure provides a game interaction method, which provides a graphical user interface through a first terminal device. The graphical user interface displays a game screen obtained by observing the game scene from a first game perspective corresponding to a first virtual character. The game scene includes a first virtual character and a second virtual character.

[0024] The first and second virtual characters can be any form of game object, such as virtual characters, virtual animals, or anime characters, located in the game scene, and can be in the same game faction. The first virtual character can be controlled through a first terminal device, and the second virtual character can be controlled through a second terminal device.

[0025] The game scene can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictional 3D scene, or a purely fictional 3D scene. This disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on it.

[0026] The first terminal device can provide a graphical user interface (GUI), which, in its initial or default state, displays the game scene as observed from a first game perspective. Specifically, it displays the game scene as observed by a camera model corresponding to the first virtual character. The first game perspective is the game viewpoint corresponding to the first virtual character.

[0027] The second terminal device may also provide a graphical user interface (GUI). This GUI, in its initial or default state, can display the game scene as observed from a second game perspective—that is, the game scene presented when the second virtual character is observed through a camera model corresponding to the second virtual character. The second game perspective refers to the game viewpoint corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0028] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a game interaction method, which may include the following steps S110 to S120: Step S110: Provide a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character in the graphical user interface; In step S120, in response to the first operation of the character identification control for the second virtual character, the control switches the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the first game perspective to the second game perspective.

[0029] In the aforementioned game interaction process, by switching the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the game scene viewed from the first game perspective to the game scene viewed from the second game perspective, it is possible to view the game scene from the perspective of other virtual characters. This not only enriches the interactive experience of game players, but also helps game players to conduct more accurate location communication.

[0030] The following is about Figure 1 Each step is explained in detail.

[0031] In step S110, a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character is provided in the graphical user interface.

[0032] There may be multiple second virtual characters in the game scene. In order to distinguish different virtual characters, the character identification control can display information such as the virtual character's number in the game faction and the virtual character's name.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a schematic diagram of a character identification control interface is provided. Different virtual character numbers represent different virtual characters. The graphical user interface displays character identification controls corresponding to three virtual characters: Second Virtual Character A, Second Virtual Character B, and Second Virtual Character C. In addition, the graphical user interface also displays a character identification control corresponding to the First Virtual Character; this disclosure does not specifically limit this. Furthermore, to avoid obstructing the game screen, these character identification controls can be displayed in the upper left corner of the graphical user interface.

[0034] In step S120, in response to the first operation of the character identification control for the second virtual character, the control switches the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the first game perspective to the second game perspective.

[0035] The first operation for the character identifier control of the second virtual character refers to the viewpoint switching operation for the second virtual character.

[0036] In an optional implementation, step S120 can be achieved by the following steps: in response to a touch operation on the character identifier control of the second virtual character, the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the perspective of the first game viewpoint is switched to the game screen from the perspective of the second game viewpoint; during the touch operation, the game screen from the perspective of the second game viewpoint is continuously displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0037] Graphical user interfaces typically display character icons for virtual characters. This disclosure enables game screen switching by utilizing existing character icon elements in the graphical user interface, which not only saves interface space but also provides an operational basis for further location marking operations.

[0038] Optionally, if a second virtual character is inactive, the corresponding character identifier control of the second virtual character can be grayed out to indicate to the player that the corresponding second virtual character is inactive, and touch operations on the grayed-out second virtual character identifier will not be responded to, so as to reduce meaningless response processing and reduce processing overhead.

[0039] Optionally, after displaying the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective, a perspective viewing prompt can be generated in the graphical user interface to indicate to the player whether the game screen switching was successful.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, by touching the character identifier control 201 of the second virtual character A, the game screen obtained by observing the game scene through the game perspective of the second virtual character A can be displayed in the graphical user interface, and a perspective viewing prompt message 202 stating "Currently viewing the game perspective screen of the second virtual character A" can be generated.

[0041] In one alternative implementation, when the graphical user interface displays a game scene viewed from a second game perspective, the system can switch the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface from the second game perspective to the game scene viewed from the first game perspective in response to the end of the touch operation.

[0042] By responding to the end of a touch operation, the game screen is restored to its default state so that players can continue playing the game without any additional operations. The operation is simple and easy to implement.

[0043] In one alternative implementation, when the graphical user interface displays a game scene viewed from a second game perspective, it can respond to a sliding operation from the character identifier control of a second virtual character to the character identifier control of another second virtual character, controlling the switching of the game scene viewed from the second game perspective displayed in the graphical user interface to the game scene viewed from the game perspective corresponding to another second virtual character.

[0044] By sliding between character icon controls, players can switch between game screens, allowing them to flexibly view the game screen from the perspectives of different friendly virtual characters as needed.

[0045] In one alternative implementation, prior to the first operation of the character identification control for the second virtual character, the following steps may also be performed: in response to a view adjustment operation acting on the graphical user interface, controlling the graphical user interface to switch the display of game screens obtained by observing the game scene under different first game views determined by the view adjustment operation; during the first operation, the following steps may also be performed: in response to a view adjustment operation acting on the graphical user interface, controlling the graphical user interface to switch the display of game screens obtained by observing the game scene under different second game views determined by the view adjustment operation.

[0046] The viewpoint adjustment operation refers to the operation of adjusting the observation angle of the corresponding game viewpoint. Optionally, the viewpoint adjustment operation can be, for example, sliding up, down, left, or right on the game screen.

[0047] It should be noted that the view adjustment operation can only control the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface of the first terminal device, and does not affect the game screen displayed in the second terminal device.

[0048] By adjusting the viewing angle, players can view the game scene from multiple perspectives, facilitating more precise location communication. Furthermore, during the initial operation, the graphical user interface displays a second game view of the scene. Adjusting the viewing angle in this second view allows players to mark locations as needed, offering high flexibility.

[0049] It should be noted that, in actual application, in order to conform to the player's operating habits, the player can use one hand to perform touch operation on the character icon control of the second virtual character, and the other hand to perform the view adjustment operation, thereby adjusting the game screen by coordinating the left and right hands.

[0050] In one alternative implementation, when the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective is displayed in the graphical user interface, a first location marker information can also be generated in response to a second operation of the character identification control for the second virtual character; the first location marker information is sent to the second terminal device that controls the second virtual character so that the second terminal device generates a first location marker based on the first location marker information.

[0051] The second operation on the character identifier control of the second virtual character refers to the position marking operation on the second virtual character. For example, the second operation could be a sliding operation from the character identifier control to the game screen. The first position marking information refers to the position marking information generated by the first terminal device, which may include, but is not limited to: the position information of the first position mark in the game scene (e.g., directional coordinates), the marking party corresponding to the first position mark (e.g., the first virtual character), and the marked party corresponding to the first position mark (e.g., the second virtual character A), etc.

[0052] After generating the first location marker information, the first terminal device can send this information to the second terminal device controlling the second virtual character. This allows the second terminal device to generate the first location marker in the game screen based on the first location marker information. By marking locations from the perspective of friendly virtual characters, teammates can clearly and accurately identify the marker points from their own viewpoint. This not only improves the accuracy and intuitiveness of marking during interaction but also allows for targeted display of location markers without interfering with information from other unrelated virtual characters.

[0053] In one alternative implementation, the generation of first position marker information in response to the second operation on the character identifier control of the second virtual character can be achieved through the following steps: in response to a sliding operation from the character identifier control of the second virtual character to the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective, the first position marker information is generated based on the end position of the sliding operation in the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a schematic diagram of position marking in a second game perspective is provided. When the game screen obtained by the game view of the second virtual character A is displayed in the graphical user interface of the first terminal device, the touch point 301 that can respond to the touch operation of the character identification control of the second virtual character A can slide to the game screen, and the first position marking information is generated according to the end position 302 of the sliding operation in the game screen.

[0055] By marking points from the perspective of a friendly virtual character, teammates can clearly and accurately identify the markers from their own viewpoint, thus enhancing the effectiveness of information transmission.

[0056] In one optional implementation, the above-mentioned generation of first position marker information based on the end position in the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective based on the sliding operation can be further implemented through the following steps: determining a first distance based on the mapping position of the end position in the game scene and the position of the first virtual character in the game scene; if the first distance is less than a first preset distance threshold, then generating first position marker information; or determining a second distance based on the mapping position of the end position in the game scene and the position of the second virtual character in the game scene; if the second distance is less than a second preset distance threshold, then generating first position marker information.

[0057] Here, the mapped position refers to the position in the game scene mapped from the end position of the swipe operation. The first distance refers to the positional distance between the mapped position and the first virtual character; the first preset distance threshold refers to the pre-defined markable range for the marking party. The second distance refers to the positional distance between the mapped position and the second virtual character; the second preset distance threshold refers to the pre-defined displayable range of the mark for the marked party.

[0058] By determining the relationship between the first distance and the first preset distance threshold, when the first distance is less than the first preset distance threshold, a first location marker can be generated; when the first distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance threshold, the current marker can be regarded as an invalid marker, and an invalid marker prompt message can be generated, so that game players can mark locations within a certain range.

[0059] By determining the relationship between the second distance and the second preset distance threshold, when the second distance is less than the second preset distance threshold, the first location marker information can be generated; when the second distance is greater than or equal to the second preset distance threshold, the current marker can be regarded as an invalid marker and an invalid marker prompt message can be generated, so that the location marker can be displayed near the marked party, which can avoid the location marker being too far away from the marked party, making the location marker recognition difficult.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, a flowchart for position marking from a teammate's perspective is provided. The graphical user interface provides a character identification control for identifying the second virtual character, and by default displays a game screen viewed from the first game perspective corresponding to the first virtual character. Specifically, it may include the following steps: Step S401: In response to a touch operation on the character identifier control of the second virtual character, the game screen displayed in the graphical user interface from the perspective of the first game viewpoint is switched to the game screen displayed from the perspective of the second game viewpoint. Step S402: During the touch operation, respond to the view adjustment operation applied to the graphical user interface, and control the display of the game screen obtained by observing the game scene under different second game view determined by the view adjustment operation in the graphical user interface. Step S403: In response to the sliding operation from the character identifier control of the second virtual character to the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective, generate first position mark information according to the end position of the sliding operation in the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the second game perspective; Step S404: Send the first location marker information to the second terminal device that controls the second virtual character, so that the second terminal device generates the first location marker based on the first location marker information.

[0061] Understandably, in practical applications, the graphical user interface of the second terminal device can by default display the game scene viewed from the second game perspective corresponding to the second virtual character. The second terminal device can respond to a first operation on the character identifier control of the first virtual character, switching the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface from the second game perspective to the first game perspective. When displaying the game scene viewed from the first game perspective, the graphical user interface of the second terminal device can respond to a second operation on the character identifier control of the first virtual character, generating second location marker information and sending it to the first terminal device controlling the first virtual character.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, the first terminal device may further perform the following steps: receiving second location marker information, wherein the second location marker information is generated by the second terminal device controlling the second virtual character through a second operation in response to a character identifier control for the first virtual character; and generating a second location marker in the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the first game perspective based on the second location marker information.

[0063] The second location marker information may include, but is not limited to: the location information of the second location marker in the game scene (e.g., directional coordinates), the marker corresponding to the second location marker (e.g., the second virtual character B), the marked party of the second location marker (e.g., the first virtual character), and other information.

[0064] By synchronizing location marker information with the corresponding terminal devices, game players can accurately and promptly grasp the corresponding marked locations.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, after generating the second location marker, the first terminal device may further perform the following steps: in response to controlling the first virtual character to reach the second location marker, clearing the second location marker.

[0066] For example, when the first virtual character reaches the second location marker, the marking function of the second location marker is completed. At this time, the second location marker can be cleared to avoid interference from invalid information.

[0067] In one optional implementation, after generating the second location marker, the first terminal device may further perform the following steps: determine the role information corresponding to the second virtual character, and display the role information corresponding to the second virtual character at the second location marker.

[0068] The character information may include, but is not limited to, virtual character ID, virtual character name, and virtual character attribute color. For example, the character ID information corresponding to the second virtual character can be displayed at the second location marker so that game players can identify the marker corresponding to the location marker.

[0069] Optionally, after receiving the second location marker information, the first terminal device may also generate marker prompt information in the graphical user interface based on the second location marker information, so that the game player can clearly understand the marker of the second location marker.

[0070] Optionally, after the first terminal device generates the second location marker, it can also generate marker guidance instructions and / or location distance information in the graphical user interface of the first terminal device based on the location of the second location marker in the game scene and the location of the first virtual character in the game scene, so that the game player can quickly identify and reach the marker location.

[0071] Optionally, during the display of the second location marker, if new second location marker information is received again from the second terminal device controlling the second virtual character, the original second location marker displayed in the graphical user interface can be cleared, and a new second location marker can be generated in the game screen obtained by observing the game scene from the first game perspective based on the new second location marker information, so as to update the location marker in real time.

[0072] Figure 5 A game interaction device 500 is shown in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a first terminal device. The GUI displays a game scene viewed from a first game perspective corresponding to a first virtual character. The game scene includes a first virtual character and a second virtual character.
