[0036] The principle and spirit of the present disclosure are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the control method of a virtual weapon provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] In this application scenario, a graphical user interface 100 is provided by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 includes at least a part of a game scene.

[0039] The graphical user interface is obtained by executing a software application on a processor of a mobile terminal or other terminal and rendering it on a display, and can be a display screen interface of a terminal device. The graphical user interface can present the entire game scene, or only a part of the game scene. When the game scene is relatively large, only a part of the game scene is displayed on the graphical user interface of the terminal device during the game.

[0040] The terminal device mainly refers to a terminal used to provide a graphical user interface and capable of controlling the controlled virtual object. Among them, the terminal device can be the local terminal device mentioned below, or a client device in a cloud interaction system. The terminal device may include but is not limited to any of the following devices: a smart phone, a tablet computer, a PDA, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. An application that supports games is installed and running in the terminal device, such as an application that supports three-dimensional games or two-dimensional games. In the embodiment of the present application, the application is introduced as a game application. Optionally, the application can be a stand-alone application, such as a stand-alone 3D game program, or a network-connected application.

[0041] The graphical user interface includes a user interface (UI) and a game screen, wherein the UI interface is a medium for human-computer interaction and information exchange between the system and the user. The UI interface can present system information in a form acceptable to humans, so that users can conveniently and efficiently operate the computer to achieve two-way human-computer interaction. The user interface can be composed of visual elements such as controls, text, graphics, images, icons, input boxes, etc. In an optional embodiment, the user interface may include acquisition controls, research controls, expedition controls, etc. In an optional embodiment, the game screen is a display screen corresponding to the virtual scene displayed by the terminal device, and the game screen may include controlled virtual objects that execute game logic in the virtual scene, etc.

[0042] The game scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when the application is running on a terminal or server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulation environment of the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fictitious virtual environment, or a purely fictitious virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene and a three-dimensional virtual scene. The virtual environment can be the sky, land, ocean, etc., wherein the land includes environmental elements such as deserts and cities. Among them, the virtual scene is a scene of complete game logic of virtual objects such as user control. For example, for sandbox 3D shooting games, the virtual scene is a 3D game world for players to control virtual objects to fight. Instances of virtual scenes may include: mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, skies, plants, buildings, and vehicles. At least one element; for example, for 2D or 3D multiplayer online tactical competitive games, the virtual scene is a 2D or 3D terrain scene for virtual objects to fight. Instances of virtual scenes may include: canyon-style mountains, lines, rivers, classrooms, tables and chairs, podiums and other elements.

[0043] In this exemplary embodiment, the virtual scene includes a virtual weapon 101 controlled by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a virtual crosshair 102 of the virtual weapon 101 and an attack control 103 for controlling the virtual weapon 101 to attack.

[0044] When the user clicks the attack control 103 , the virtual weapon 101 is controlled to attack the aiming position of the virtual crosshair 102 .

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 further includes a virtual weapon list 104, which includes a first virtual weapon identifier 105 and a second virtual weapon identifier 106. It is assumed that the virtual weapon currently used by the user is the virtual weapon corresponding to the first virtual weapon identifier 105. If the ammunition of the currently used virtual weapon is lower than a preset ammunition threshold (its ammunition is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click on the second virtual weapon identifier 106 in the virtual weapon list 104 to switch the currently used virtual weapon to the virtual weapon corresponding to the second virtual weapon identifier 106 with sufficient ammunition (its ammunition is, for example, 10 / 10).

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a backpack control 107. If the ammunition level of the virtual weapon currently in use is lower than a preset ammunition level threshold (its ammunition level is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click on the backpack control 107 to open the backpack and select a virtual weapon with sufficient ammunition (its ammunition level is, for example, 10 / 10) in the backpack to equip.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a reload control 108. If the ammunition amount of the virtual weapon currently in use is lower than a preset ammunition amount threshold (its ammunition amount is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click the reload control 108 to reload virtual ammunition for the virtual weapon currently in use.

[0048] However, the inventors of the present disclosure discovered that, although the above scheme provides for switching weapons and replenishing sub-weapons for weapons, they are independent of each other and are related to the status of the weapons. The game pace of attack games is usually fast, and players usually cannot discover the status of virtual weapons in time, for example, a sub-weapon is close to zero, which leads to game failure.

[0049] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a control solution for virtual weapons, providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the graphical user interface displays at least a portion of a virtual scene, wherein the virtual scene includes a game account corresponding to the terminal device, the game account is equipped with multiple virtual weapons, and each virtual weapon is configured to use a corresponding sub-weapon to play a game in the game scene, and the method comprises: in response to a weapon switching instruction, controlling the switching of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account; in response to a sub-weapon replenishment instruction, controlling the sub-weapon replenishment of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account; during the process of the game account using the virtual weapon to play the game, in response to the sub-weapon corresponding to the virtual weapon currently used by the game account being lower than a preset value, controlling the display of a prompt mark in the graphical user interface, wherein the prompt mark is used to prompt the sub-weapon replenishment of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account, and / or prompting the switching of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account.

[0050] In the present disclosure, a prompt mark related to the status of a virtual weapon is provided to assist the user in playing the game.

[0051] After introducing the basic principles of the present disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of another application scenario of the virtual weapon control method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] This application scenario includes a terminal device 201, a server 202, and a data storage system 203. The terminal device 201, the server 202, and the data storage system 203 can be connected via a wired or wireless communication network to achieve data interaction.

[0054] The terminal device 201 may be an electronic device with data transmission and multimedia input / output functions close to the user side, including but not limited to a desktop computer, a mobile phone, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, a media player, a smart wearable device, a personal digital assistant (PDA) or other electronic devices capable of realizing the above functions. The electronic device may include a processor and a display screen with a touch input function, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface can display an application interface, and the processor is used to process application data, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0055] Server 202 and data storage system 203 can both be independent physical servers, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. They can also be cloud servers that provide basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, the control method of the virtual weapon may be executed on the terminal device 201 or the server 202 .

[0057] When the virtual weapon control method is run on the server 202, the server 202 is used to provide virtual weapon control services to the user of the terminal device 201. The terminal device 201 is installed with a client that communicates with the server 202, and the user can play the game through the client.

[0058] Among them, the running body of the game program and the game screen presentation body are separated, the storage and operation of the control method of the virtual weapon in the game are completed on the server 202, and the terminal device 201 is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the terminal device 201 can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the server 202 is used for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the terminal device 201 to send an operation instruction to the server 202. The server 202 runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the data such as the game screen, and returns it to the terminal device 201 through the network. Finally, the terminal device 201 decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the control method of the virtual weapon is described by taking the operation of the virtual weapon control method on the server 202 as an example, however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in some exemplary embodiments, the control method of the virtual weapon may also be operated on the terminal device 201 .

[0060] The terminal device 201 stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The terminal device 201 is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed through a conventional electronic device and run. The terminal device 201 may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal device 201, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the terminal device 201 may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0061] The data storage system 203 can be used to assist the terminal device 201 and the server 202 in storing data to reduce the storage capacity requirements of the terminal device 201 and the server 202. It is understandable that if the terminal device 201 and the server 202 themselves have strong data storage capabilities, the data storage system 203 may not be set up.

[0062] Combine the following Figure 2 The control method of a virtual weapon according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is described by using an application scenario. It should be noted that the above application scenario is only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principle of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0063] refer to Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual weapon provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] The control method of a virtual weapon provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the graphical user interface displays at least part of a virtual scene, wherein the virtual scene includes a game account corresponding to the terminal device, wherein the game account is equipped with a plurality of virtual weapons, and each virtual weapon is configured to use a corresponding sub-weapon in the game scene to play a game, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] Step S310: In response to a weapon switching instruction, control switching of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a weapon switching control, and the method further comprises:

[0067] In response to the triggering operation on the weapon switching control, a weapon switching instruction for the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is generated.

[0068] As an example, see Figure 1 , the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a virtual weapon list 104, which includes a first virtual weapon identifier 105 and a second virtual weapon identifier 106. It is assumed that the virtual weapon currently used by the user is the virtual weapon corresponding to the first virtual weapon identifier 105. If the ammunition of the currently used virtual weapon is lower than a preset ammunition threshold (its ammunition is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click the second virtual weapon identifier 106 in the virtual weapon list 104 to switch the currently used virtual weapon to the virtual weapon corresponding to the second virtual weapon identifier 106 with sufficient ammunition (its ammunition is, for example, 10 / 10).

[0069] As an example, see Figure 1 The content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a backpack control 107. If the ammunition amount of the virtual weapon currently in use is lower than a preset ammunition amount threshold (its ammunition amount is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click the backpack control 107 to open the backpack and select a virtual weapon with sufficient ammunition (its ammunition amount is, for example, 10 / 10) in the backpack to equip.

[0070] Step S320: In response to the sub-weapon replenishment instruction, control the sub-weapon replenishment of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a sub-weapon supplement control, and the method further comprises:

[0072] In response to the triggering operation on the sub-weapon replenishment control, a sub-weapon replenishment instruction for the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is generated.

[0073] As an example, see Figure 1 The content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a bullet reload control 108. If the ammunition amount of the virtual weapon currently in use is lower than a preset ammunition amount threshold (the ammunition amount is, for example, 0 / 100), the user can click the bullet reload control 108 to reload virtual ammunition for the virtual weapon currently in use.

[0074] Step S330: During the process of the game account using a virtual weapon to play a game, in response to a sub-weapon corresponding to the virtual weapon currently used by the game account being lower than a preset value, control the display of a prompt mark in the graphical user interface, wherein the prompt mark is used to prompt the replenishment of the sub-weapon of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account, and / or prompt the switching of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, the prompt mark includes: a weapon switching mark, and / or a sub-weapon supplement mark.

[0076] In some exemplary embodiments, the controlling the display of a prompt mark in the graphical user interface includes:

[0077] Controlling display of the prompt mark in the virtual scene.

[0078] During specific implementation, the prompt UI is set in the game scene, so that the player can change the aiming direction of the crosshair bound to the lens by adjusting the lens, so that the crosshair can be aimed at the prompt UI in the scene.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a crosshair, and the crosshair is used to indicate the aiming direction of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account in the game scene; and the control of displaying a prompt mark in the graphical user interface includes:

[0080] Controlling display of the prompt indicator at a different user interface level from the crosshair.

[0081] In specific implementation, the prompt UI is set at a UI level different from the crosshairs and the lens. When the lens moves, the crosshairs will move, but the prompt UI will not move, so that the crosshairs can be aligned with the prompt UI in the scene.

[0082] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a crosshair, and the crosshair is used to indicate the aiming direction of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account in the game scene; the method further includes:

[0083] Control to display the prompt mark within a preset range around the aiming direction.

[0084] In the present disclosure, a prompt mark related to the status of a virtual weapon is provided to assist the user in playing the game.

[0085] Furthermore, the inventors of the present disclosure have also discovered that in the above scheme, although prompt icons related to the status of virtual weapons are provided to assist users in playing the game, since switching virtual weapons or replenishing sub-weapons for virtual weapons requires independent controls, players need to switch from triggering the operation of the attack control to triggering the operation of the control for switching virtual weapons, or switch to triggering the operation of the control for replenishing sub-weapons for virtual weapons.

[0086] Therefore, the operation of players switching virtual weapons or replenishing sub-weapons for virtual weapons is separated from the attack operation, which is inconvenient and time-consuming, and cannot meet the demand of attack games for a faster game rhythm.

[0087] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides weapon switching and sub-weapon supplementation based on the above prompt mark, specifically:

[0088] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a crosshair, and the crosshair is used to indicate the aiming direction of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account in the game scene; the method further includes:

[0089] In response to a field of view adjustment instruction, controlling to adjust the aiming direction of the crosshair in the game scene;

[0090] After displaying the prompt mark in the graphical user interface, the method further includes:

[0091] In response to the positional relationship between the aiming direction and the prompt mark satisfying a specified condition, control is performed to supplement sub-weapons of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account, and / or the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is switched.

[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays a crosshair, and the crosshair is used to indicate the aiming direction of the virtual weapon currently used by the game account in the game scene; the method further includes:

[0093] In response to a field of view adjustment instruction, controlling to adjust the aiming direction of the crosshair in the game scene;

[0094] After displaying the prompt mark in the graphical user interface, the method further includes:

[0095] When the positional relationship between the aiming direction and the prompt mark meets the specified conditions, in response to the attack instruction for the virtual weapon currently used by the game account, the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is controlled to be supplemented with sub-weapons and / or the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is switched.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the graphical user interface further displays an attack control, and the method further comprises:

[0097] In response to the triggering operation on the attack control, an attack instruction for the virtual weapon currently used by the game account is generated.

[0098] refer to Figure 4 As an example, in this application scenario, a graphical user interface 100 is provided by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 includes at least part of a game scene.

[0099] In this exemplary embodiment, the virtual scene includes a virtual weapon 101 controlled by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface 100 also includes a virtual crosshair 102 of the virtual weapon 101 and an attack control 103 for controlling the virtual weapon 101 to attack.

[0100] When the user clicks the attack control 103 , the virtual weapon 101 is controlled to attack the aiming position of the virtual crosshair 102 .
