[0033] The principle and spirit of the present disclosure are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] As described in the background art, in electronic games, especially strategy games (Simulation Game, SLG), players control virtual characters to play games in game scenes, such as collecting resources, attacking enemies or strongholds, etc., and these behaviors need to be achieved through movement.

[0035] However, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that, especially when the virtual character moves a long distance in the game scene, the player needs to frequently switch lenses to observe the situation on the moving path during the movement of the virtual character, which results in high operation and time costs.

[0036] In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a path processing solution, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the content displayed by the graphical user interface includes at least part of a game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character controlled by the terminal device, specifically including:

[0037] In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from a first position to a second position, the movement operation of the virtual character from the first position to the second position is controlled, and a movement path is determined based on the first position and the second position; it is determined whether the movement path passes through a risk area, and in response to determining that the movement path passes through the risk area, a risk indicator is provided on the graphical user interface based on the risk area.

[0038] The present invention determines the risk area passed by the moving path and displays it visually, thereby reducing the user's operation cost and time cost.

[0039] After introducing the basic principles of the present disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the path processing method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] This application scenario includes a terminal device 101, a server 102, and a data storage system 103. The terminal device 101, the server 102, and the data storage system 103 may be connected via a wired or wireless communication network to achieve data interaction.

[0042] The terminal device 101 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.

[0043] Server 102 and data storage system 103 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.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the path processing method may be executed on the terminal device 101 .

[0045] When the path processing method is run on the terminal device 101, the terminal device 101 stores the game program and is used to present the game screen. The terminal device 101 is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed by the conventional electronic device and run. The terminal device 101 can provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal device 101, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the terminal device 101 may include a display screen and a processor, 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, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, and the graphical user interface may include: a game scene with a virtual character. 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 the local content of the game scene is displayed on the graphical user interface of the terminal device during the game.

[0046] 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, and 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 with 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. Example virtual scenes may include: at least one element of mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, skies, plants, buildings, and vehicles; for example, for 2D card games, the virtual scene is a scene for displaying released cards or displaying virtual objects corresponding to cards. Example virtual scenes may include: an arena, a decisive battlefield, or other "field" elements or other elements that can display the status of card battles; for 2D or 3D multiplayer online tactical competitive games, the virtual scene is a 2D or 3D terrain scene for virtual objects to fight. Example virtual scenes may include: canyon-style mountains, lines, rivers, classrooms, tables and chairs, podiums and other elements.

[0047] The game scene contains virtual characters, which can be player characters controlled by players or NPCs (nonplayer characters). Virtual characters are controlled virtual objects, which refer to dynamic objects that can be controlled in virtual scenes. Optionally, the dynamic objects can be virtual characters, virtual objects, etc. The controlled virtual objects are objects controlled by users through input devices, or artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment through training. In one possible implementation, the user can control the controlled virtual objects to move in the virtual scene, for example, control the controlled virtual objects to navigate or collect virtual resources, etc., and can also control the controlled virtual objects to upgrade and develop on the building objects created by themselves, and can also control the controlled virtual objects to fight with virtual objects of other camps. Optionally, the controlled virtual objects can have multiple functions, such as not only the function of collecting virtual resources, but also the function of fighting. Optionally, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the controlled virtual objects can be three-dimensional virtual models, each of which has its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment and occupies a part of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the 3D virtual object is a 3D character built based on 3D skeleton technology, and the controlled virtual object realizes different external images through wearable technology. In some implementations, the controlled virtual object can also be realized by using a 2.5D or 2D model, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0048] Resource points are map points used to provide virtual resources. For example, resource points can be map points such as virtual metal mines, virtual crystal mines, virtual heavy hydrogen mines, virtual special mines, etc. Optionally, several resource points are distributed in the virtual scene, and correspondingly, several identifiers corresponding to the several resource points distributed in the virtual scene are also provided in the virtual map (since the identifiers in the virtual map are reduced versions of the resource points, the whole text is uniformly described as resource points in the virtual map), so that users can collect virtual resources at the resource points to upgrade and develop the building objects they created. The resource points in the virtual scene can be refreshed, usually by refreshing each resource point in the virtual scene at predetermined time intervals, so that users can collect virtual resources at the resource points at regular intervals by dispatching controlled virtual objects on the building objects. Optionally, the building object is a map point used to manufacture, station and / or train controlled virtual objects, for example, the building object is a "base".

[0049] The virtual resources of each resource base may include, but are not limited to: metals, crystals, heavy hydrogen, special ore bodies, wood, stone, food, land, etc. For each virtual resource, it may include multiple resource levels. For example, taking metal as an example, the metal level may include: primary metal, secondary metal, and tertiary metal, among which the primary metal has the highest level and its corresponding resistance is weaker, and the tertiary metal has the highest level and its corresponding resistance is stronger. In the actual game scene, a ship built with tertiary metal will have better stability and stronger resistance than a ship built with primary metal. Optionally, the virtual resources on each resource base correspond to one or more resource levels, and the resource levels of virtual resources on different resource bases may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this. Among them, the resource parameters of the virtual resources include at least one of the following: the category of virtual resources, the number of resources, and the resource level.

[0050] In this exemplary embodiment, when the path processing method is run on the terminal device 101, a client is installed in the terminal device 101, and the user can input a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position through the client. The terminal device 101 responds to the movement instruction for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position, controls the movement operation of the virtual character from the first position to the second position, and determines the movement path based on the first position and the second position; determines whether the movement path passes through a risk area, and in response to determining that the movement path passes through the risk area, provides a risk mark on the graphical user interface based on the risk area. The client displays the movement path including the risk mark to the user to help the user understand the risk situation of the movement path.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the path processing method is described by taking the path processing method running on the terminal device 101 as an example, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some exemplary embodiments, the path processing method may also be run on the terminal device 101 and the server 102 .

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, the path processing method may be executed on the terminal device 101 and the server 102 .

[0053] In this operation mode, the running subject of the game program and the subject of the game screen presentation are separated, the storage and operation of the control method of the moving state in the game are completed on the server 102, and the terminal device 101 is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the terminal device 101 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 102 is responsible for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the terminal device 101 to send an operation instruction to the server 102. The server 102 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 101 through the network. Finally, the terminal device 101 decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0054] In this exemplary embodiment, when the path processing method is run on the terminal device 101 and the server 102, the terminal device 101 is installed with a client that communicates with the server 102, and the user can input a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position through the client. The terminal device 101 sends the movement instruction for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position to the server 102. The server 102 controls the movement operation of the virtual character from the first position to the second position in response to the movement instruction for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position, and determines the movement path based on the first position and the second position; determines whether the movement path passes through the risk area, and in response to determining that the movement path passes through the risk area, provides a risk mark on the graphical user interface based on the risk area. The server 102 sends the game screen of the movement path containing the warning section to the terminal device 101, and the client displays the movement path containing the risk mark to the user to help the user understand the risk situation of the movement path.

[0055] The data storage system 103 can be used to assist the terminal device 101 and the server 102 in storing data to reduce the storage capacity requirements of the terminal device 101 and the server 102. It is understandable that if the terminal device 101 and the server 102 themselves have strong data storage capabilities, the data storage system 103 may not be set up.

[0056] Combine the following Figure 1 The path processing method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is described by using the 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.

[0057] refer to Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of a path processing method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0058] The path processing method comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step S210: In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from a first position to a second position, controlling a movement operation of the virtual character from the first position to the second position, and determining a movement path based on the first position and the second position.

[0060] In specific implementation, the first position can be the current position of the virtual character, or the starting position specified by the player; the second position can be the location of the virtual character's game objective, such as the location of resources to be collected, the location of enemies to be attacked, or the location of strongholds to be occupied, or it can be the end position specified by the player.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, the operation of controlling the virtual character to move from a first position to a second position, and determining a movement path based on the first position and the second position, comprises:

[0062] The shortest path between the first position and the second position is determined as the moving path.

[0063] In a specific implementation, the shortest path between the first position and the second position refers to a path that takes the least time for the virtual character to move from the first position to the second position.

[0064] In specific implementation, the shortest path between the first position and the second position is usually not a straight line segment between the first position and the second position. In the game scene, there is usually terrain information such as obstacles, terrain heights, and water bodies between the first position and the second position. Therefore, when determining the shortest path, it is necessary to consider the terrain information and perform collision detection to ensure that the shortest path is feasible.

[0065] In a specific implementation, a method of determining the shortest path between the first position and the second position includes:

[0066] Use a path finding algorithm to calculate the shortest path.

[0067] As an example, path finding algorithms include at least the following:

[0068] A(A star) algorithm: A heuristic search algorithm for finding the shortest path in a graph.

[0069] Dijkstra's algorithm: A graph search algorithm for computing single-source shortest paths.

[0070] Breadth-First Search (BFS): An algorithm for traversing or searching a graph to find the shortest path.

[0071] Greedy Best-First Search: A heuristic search algorithm that always expands the current best node.

[0072] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the path finding algorithm, and all path finding algorithms in related technologies should be included.

[0073] Step S220: determine whether the moving path passes through a risk area, and in response to determining that the moving path passes through the risk area, provide a risk indicator on the graphical user interface based on the risk area.

[0074] In specific implementation, the risk area in the game scene refers to the enemy-controlled area, specific terrain or other areas that pose a threat to the virtual character.

[0075] During specific implementation, risk areas on the moving path are monitored in real time and risks are assessed dynamically.

[0076] In some exemplary embodiments, providing a risk indicator on the graphical user interface based on the risk area includes:

[0077] Determining a warning section on the moving path based on the risk area;

[0078] A moving path identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface based on the moving path, and a warning section identifier is displayed on the moving path identifier based on the warning section.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the moving path identifier is a curve representing the moving path displayed on a graphical user interface based on the shape of the moving path, and the warning section identifier is an identifier on the moving path identifier representing the warning section on the moving path.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, determining the warning section on the moving path based on the risk area includes:

[0081] determining an intersection point between the risk area and the movement path;

[0082] The intersection is used as the two ends of the warning section.

[0083] In specific implementation, the moving path is compared with the boundary of the risk area to find the intersection point.

[0084] As an example, if the moving path is a line segment and the risk area is a polygon, it is achieved by calculating the intersection of the line segment and the polygon boundary; if the moving path is a combination of a series of line segments and the risk area is a polygon, then it is necessary to calculate the intersection of each line segment and the polygon boundary.

[0085] In some exemplary embodiments, displaying the warning road section mark on the moving path mark includes:

[0086] Use different colors, markers, or highlights to highlight warning sections so that players can clearly distinguish them.

[0087] As an example, see Figure 3 , the content displayed by the graphical user interface 300 includes at least part of the game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character 301 controlled by the terminal device;

[0088] In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character 301 to move from the first position 302 to the second position 303, determining a movement path identifier 304 based on the first position 302 and the second position 303;

[0089] Determine whether the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , and in response to determining that the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , determine a warning road section identifier 306 on the moving path identifier 304 based on the risk area 305 ;

[0090] The graphical user interface 300 is controlled to display a moving path mark 304 , and a warning road section mark 306 is displayed on the moving path mark 304 .

[0091] In a specific implementation, the first position is usually the current position of the virtual character, and the second position is the target position to which the virtual character will move. If the distance between the first position and the second position is far, when the user selects the second position in the virtual scene, the first position may exceed the current display range of the graphical user interface. In view of this situation, the present disclosure also provides the following exemplary embodiments, specifically:

[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0093] In response to determining that at least one of the virtual character, the first position, and the second position is not displayed on the current screen of the graphical user interface, displaying a movement progress indicator on the graphical user interface;

[0094] The moving progress mark includes a warning section position sub-marker and a virtual character position sub-marker.

[0095] In a specific implementation, the warning section position sub-identifier is used to represent the position of the warning section on the moving path, and the virtual character position sub-identifier is used to represent the moving progress of the virtual character on the moving path.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0097] Determining total length information of the moving path;

[0098] Determine the section length information of the warning section and the section position information of the warning section on the moving path, and determine the position and length of the warning section position sub-identifier on the moving progress identifier based on the total length information, the section length information and the section position information;

[0099] Determine the movement length information of the virtual character on the movement path, and determine the position of the virtual character position sub-identifier on the movement progress identifier based on the total length information and the movement length information.

[0100] As an example, see Figure 4 , the content displayed by the graphical user interface 300 includes at least part of the game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character controlled by the terminal device (not shown in the figure because it exceeds the current display range of the graphical user interface 300);

[0101] In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from a first position (not shown in the figure because it exceeds the current display range of the graphical user interface 300) to a second position 303, a movement path identifier 304 is determined based on the first position 302 and the second position 303;

[0102] Determine whether the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , and in response to determining that the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , determine a warning road section identifier 306 on the moving path identifier 304 based on the risk area 305 ;

[0103] Controlling the graphical user interface 300 to display a moving path mark 304 , and displaying a warning road section mark 306 on the moving path mark 304 ;

[0104] Since the virtual character and the first position are beyond the current display range of the graphical user interface 300, the graphical user interface 300 is controlled to display a moving progress indicator 307;

[0105] The moving progress mark 307 includes a warning section position sub-mark 3071 and a virtual character position sub-mark 3072. The warning section position sub-mark 3071 is used to represent the position of the warning section mark 306 on the moving path mark 304, and the virtual character position sub-mark 3072 is used to represent the moving progress of the virtual character on the moving path mark 304.

[0106] In specific implementation, when determining that the moving path passes through the risk area, the present disclosure also provides the following exemplary embodiments:

[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, after providing a risk indicator on the graphical user interface based on the risk area, the method further includes:

[0108] Controlling the graphical user interface to display a risk avoidance area control;

[0109] In response to a triggering operation on the risk avoidance area control, the movement path is updated until the risk identification stops being displayed.

[0110] In specific implementation, if the player chooses to avoid the warning section, the moving path will be automatically optimized to avoid the risk area, reducing the possibility of the virtual character controlled by the user facing risks during the movement and causing the game to fail.

[0111] In specific implementation, the method of updating the moving path includes:

[0112] When planning a path, risk areas are treated as obstacles to avoid paths passing through them.

[0113] In specific implementation, the method of updating the moving path also includes:

[0114] In the path planning algorithm, risk areas are cost-weighted, and paths through risk areas will have higher costs, and the algorithm will try to find paths with lower costs.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments, after controlling the graphical user interface to display a risk avoidance area control, the method further includes:

[0116] Determine the change in movement duration of the updated movement path compared to the movement path before the update after the risk area avoidance control is triggered;

[0119] Calculate the moving time of the original moving path before avoiding the warning section:

[0120] Traverse each node on the original moving path and accumulate the time cost between nodes.

[0126] In response to a trigger operation on the view warning road section control, the warning road section is controlled to be displayed in a preset area on the graphical user interface.

[0127] In specific implementation, if the player needs to quickly view the warning section, the camera is positioned at the warning section. Optionally, the camera can be positioned at the warning section and enlarged for display.

[0128] As an example, see Figure 5 , the content displayed by the graphical user interface 300 includes at least part of the game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character 301 controlled by the terminal device;

[0129] In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character 301 to move from the first position 302 to the second position 303, determining a movement path identifier 304 based on the first position 302 and the second position 303;

[0132] When it is determined that the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305, the control graphical user interface 300 displays the risk-related interactive control 308, which includes a risk warning text 3081 (as an example, such as "There is a risk area in the moving path, do you want to avoid it?"), an avoid risk area control 3082, a view warning section control 3084 and an ignore risk area control 3085.

[0133] Determine the change in movement duration of the updated movement path compared to the movement path before the update after triggering the risk zone avoidance control 3082; control the graphical user interface 300 to display the change in movement duration 3083 (as an example, such as "movement + 4 minutes").

[0134] In specific implementation, in addition to the automatic optimization of the moving path to avoid the risk area in the above exemplary embodiment, the player can also avoid the risk area by fine-tuning the moving path, specifically:

[0135] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0136] In response to determining that the virtual character moves to the warning section, displaying section adjustment controls at both ends of the warning section;

[0137] In response to a trigger operation on the road segment adjustment control, updating a position of the road segment adjustment control based on the trigger operation;

[0138] The position of the control is adjusted based on the updated road segment, and the moving path is updated.

[0139] In specific implementation, when the virtual character moves to the warning section, that is, enters the risk area, section adjustment controls are displayed at both ends of the warning section, and the moving route can be manually adjusted by dragging the section adjustment controls to avoid the risk area.

[0140] When entering the danger zone segment, drag points are added to the danger zone entry point and danger zone exit point. You can drag the points to manually adjust the line, and quickly avoid the risk area without changing the destination.

[0141] As an example, see Figure 6 , the content displayed by the graphical user interface 300 includes at least part of the game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character 301 controlled by the terminal device;

[0142] In response to a movement instruction for the virtual character 301 to move from the first position 302 to the second position 303, determining a movement path identifier 304 based on the first position 302 and the second position 303;

[0143] Determine whether the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , and in response to determining that the moving path identifier 304 passes through the risk area 305 , determine a warning road section identifier 306 on the moving path identifier 304 based on the risk area 305 ;

[0144] Controlling the graphical user interface 300 to display a moving path mark 304 , and displaying a warning road section mark 306 on the moving path mark 304 ;

[0145] When the virtual character 301 moves to the warning road segment mark 306 , a first road segment adjustment control 3091 and a second road segment adjustment control 3092 are displayed at both ends of the warning road segment mark 306 ;

[0146] In response to a drag operation on at least one of the first route segment adjustment control 3091 and the second route segment adjustment control 3092 , updating positions of the first route segment adjustment control 3091 and the second route segment adjustment control 3092 based on the drag operation;

[0147] Based on the updated positions of the first section adjustment control 3091 and the second section adjustment control 3092 , the moving path is updated to obtain an updated moving path 310 .

[0148] In some exemplary embodiments, in response to determining that the moving path passes through the risk area, the method further includes:

[0149] The risk area is shared with other virtual characters.

[0150] In specific implementation, other virtual characters, including virtual characters belonging to the same camp as the current virtual character, share the determined risk areas with other virtual characters, which can avoid repeated judgment of risk areas by other virtual characters and assist players in playing the game.

[0151] From the above, it can be seen that the path processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface includes at least part of the game scene, and the game scene includes a virtual character controlled by the terminal device. The method includes: in response to a movement instruction for the virtual character to move from a first position to a second position, controlling the movement operation of the virtual character from the first position to the second position, and determining a movement path based on the first position and the second position; judging whether the movement path passes through a risk area, and in response to determining that the movement path passes through the risk area, determining a warning section on the movement path based on the risk area; controlling the graphical user interface to display the movement path, and displaying the warning section logo on the movement path logo.

[0152] The present invention determines the risk area that the moving path passes through and displays it visually, which greatly reduces the need to frequently switch lenses to observe the situation on the moving path, and reduces the user's operating cost and time cost;

[0153] Furthermore, the movement path can be automatically optimized to avoid risky areas, reducing the possibility of the user's virtual character encountering danger during movement, leading to the failure of the game;

[0154] Furthermore, players can avoid risky areas by fine-tuning their movement paths, thus quickly avoiding risky areas without changing their destinations.

The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other.
