Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of game technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information. Background Technology

[0002] Many games include a feature for buying and selling in-game items. Currently, due to the large number of player stalls, the game screen displays a dense array of stalls, with different areas selling different types of items. Buyers and sellers need to repeatedly browse multiple stalls to find the items they want and the areas selling specific types of items. This repetitive browsing is tedious and consumes a significant amount of players' time and energy. It also makes it difficult for sellers to quickly identify stalls selling different types of items, negatively impacting players' willingness to trade and overall in-game trading experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method, device, and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information, which renders special effects corresponding to target game items in the target area where stalls of the same type are located in the scene, so that players can distinguish stall areas based on the special effects, and can also understand the main game items sold in the target area based on the special effects, without having to repeatedly check each stall, thereby saving players' time and energy, and thus improving players' trading enthusiasm and in-game trading experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for controlling the display of game information. The method includes: a game scene comprising multiple stalls; in response to a target instruction, determining target stalls of the same type from the multiple stalls based on the stall location and the game items sold at the stalls; wherein the target stalls are located consecutively, and at least some of the target stalls have the same target game item with the highest sales ratio; determining a target area where the target stall is located, and rendering special effects corresponding to the target game item on the target area; different target areas correspond to different special effects.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0027] Currently, many games include a feature for buying and selling in-game items. Due to the large number of player stalls, the game screen displays a dense array of stalls, with different stalls selling different items in different areas. Buyers and sellers need to repeatedly browse multiple stalls to find the items they want and the areas selling specific types of items. This repetitive browsing is cumbersome, consuming a significant amount of time and energy for players. It also makes it difficult for sellers to quickly identify stalls selling different types of in-game items, impacting player engagement and the overall in-game trading experience. Therefore, this disclosure provides a method, device, and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information. This technology can be applied to mobile phones, computers, laptops, computers, tablets, desktops, etc.

[0028] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game information display control method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game information display control method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0029] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of game information display control methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses game screen data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0030] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0031] In one possible implementation, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for displaying and controlling game information, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. The GUI includes at least a portion of the game scene. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S102: The game scene includes multiple stalls. In response to the target instruction, based on the stall location and the game items sold at the stall, target stalls of the same type are identified from the multiple stalls. Among them, the target stalls are located consecutively, and at least some of the target stalls have the same target game item with the highest sales ratio.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the graphical user interface displays multiple stalls (such as...). Figure 2 The stalls (such as Stall 1, Stall a, Stall b, etc.) are displayed in the game interface. The stall name is usually set by the player or automatically by the system. The stalls are displayed in a tiled format, meaning there is no obstruction between them.

[0034] The aforementioned response to a target instruction can be in response to a specified operation on a specified control, generating the target instruction. This specified operation can be a touch operation, a long press operation, a swipe operation, etc. Alternatively, it can be in response to a specified voice command, such as a player inputting a voice command to open the list display. The aforementioned target game items can be virtual weapons, virtual clothing, virtual vehicles, virtual cards, game props with different functions, etc. Target stalls of the same type typically include multiple stalls. The game item with the highest sales ratio in the stall exceeding a specified percentage is usually the target game item. This specified percentage is usually pre-set.

[0035] The consecutive positions of the target stalls can be either adjacent to each other or based on a preset interval between the target stalls that does not exceed the maximum interval for consecutive positions in the game scene.

[0036] Optionally, identify the game item with the highest sales ratio in each stall, identify the stalls with the same game item and the distance between stalls is less than a first distance threshold as target stalls, and then identify the stalls surrounded by the target stalls as target stalls as well.

[0037] Optionally, determine the game item with the highest sales ratio in each stall, determine the initial stall with the same game item with the highest sales ratio, determine the intermediate stalls that are consecutive in position and have more than a first number from the initial stalls, then determine the intermediate stall as the target stall, and use the target stall as a reference, within the range of the second distance threshold from the target stall, find the stall with the same game item with the highest sales ratio as the target stall, if it can be found, then determine the stall as the target stall, and at the same time determine the stalls surrounding the target stall as the target stalls.

[0038] The first distance threshold can be the same as or different from the second distance threshold. The first distance threshold and the second distance threshold can be the distance between two points or the display position. For example, the first distance threshold can be three display positions.

[0039] Step S104: Determine the target area where the target stall is located, render the special effects corresponding to the target game item in the target area, and display the item information and ratio of the target game item in the target area; different target areas correspond to different special effects.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, one of the identified target stalls of the same type includes 12 stalls, specifically stall 1, stall 2, stall 3, stall 4, stall 5, stall 6, stall 7, stall 8, stall 9, stall 10, stall 11, and stall 12. Optionally, the area enclosed by the locations of the target stalls can be defined as the target area. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the area enclosed by the dotted line is defined as the target area, which includes only the target stalls. Alternatively, the area where each target stall is located can be defined as the target area, meaning the target area includes multiple sub-areas, each of which is the area where the stall is located.

[0041] The above describes rendering special effects corresponding to target game items on the target area. Different game items correspond to different special effects, which are used to indicate the item information of game items sold by the target stall in the target area. Optionally, the special effects can be rendered with the color, pattern, or animation corresponding to the target game item. The display priority of the special effects can be higher or lower than that of the target stall. If the display priority of the special effects is higher than that of the target stall, the special effects usually need to have a certain degree of transparency so that players can see the stall through the special effects. If the display priority of the special effects is lower than that of the target stall, the special effects usually do not need to be transparent.

[0042] This disclosure provides a method for controlling the display of game information. The game scene includes multiple stalls. Based on the stall's location and the game items it sells, target stalls of the same type are identified from among the multiple stalls. Special effects corresponding to the target game items are rendered on the target area where the target stall is located; different target areas correspond to different special effects. In this method, rendering special effects corresponding to the target game items on the target areas of stalls of the same type in the scene allows players to distinguish stall areas based on the effects and understand the main game items sold in the target area. This eliminates the need to repeatedly check each stall, saving players time and effort, and improving their trading enthusiasm and experience.

[0043] The above method also includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Identify the designated stalls from the target stalls that sell the target game items and whose sales ratio meets the first preset condition, and calculate the ratio of the number of designated stalls to the number of target stalls.

[0045] The above-mentioned sales ratio can meet the first preset condition by either having a sales ratio greater than a preset ratio threshold (usually set in advance according to the needs of the game) or having the highest sales ratio.

[0046] Since not all stalls in the target area sell the target game item, and not all stalls have the highest sales percentage of the target game item, the stalls with the highest sales percentage of the target game item are designated as the target game item stalls. Calculating the ratio of the number of designated stalls to the number of target stalls gives the percentage of stalls selling the target game item within the target stall area. For example, if there are 100 target stalls, and 60 of them have the highest sales percentage of the target game item, then the percentage of stalls selling the target game item among the 100 stalls is 60%.

[0047] Step 2: Display the item information and ratio of the target game item in the target area.

[0048] Optionally, the item information for the target game item is usually the name of the target game item. The item information of the target game item typically has a higher display priority than stalls and special effects. The item information and ratio of the target game item are displayed in a designated location within the target area, such as the center or top left corner. The item information and ratio of the target game item may have a certain degree of transparency.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the graphical user interface includes multiple target areas (target area a, target area b, target area c, and target area d). Target area a is rendered as a light gray with some transparency, target area b as a dark gray with some transparency, target area c as a diagonal grid with some transparency, and target area d as a black dot grid with some transparency. Different target areas typically sell different game items. Target area a primarily sells game item a, with 78% of stalls selling game item a; target area b primarily sells game item b, with 85% of stalls selling game item b; target area c primarily sells game item c, with 63% of stalls selling game item c; and target area d primarily sells game item d, with 95% of stalls selling game item d.

[0050] In the above method, different special effects are rendered for the target area where stalls of the same type are located in the scene, and the item information of the main game items sold in the target area is displayed in the target area. This allows players to distinguish stall areas based on the special effects and understand the main game items sold in the target area based on the item information displayed on the target area. Players do not need to repeatedly check each stall, saving them time and effort and improving their trading enthusiasm and trading experience.

[0051] In one possible approach, if the target instruction is a first transaction instruction, optionally, a stall control is displayed in the graphical user interface, and in response to a trigger operation on the stall control, a target stall of the same type is determined from multiple stalls; a designated stall selling the target game item with the highest sales ratio is determined from the target stalls, and the ratio of the number of designated stalls to the number of target stalls is calculated; after determining the target area where the target stall is located, the above method further includes: determining the number of vacant stalls corresponding to the target area; and displaying the number of vacant stalls on the target area.

[0052] The aforementioned first transaction instruction can be a stall instruction, a first transaction instruction, or an instruction for a transaction location, transaction space, or interactive location. Specifically, it can be an instruction to add a transaction location (stall).

[0053] If there are empty spaces between stalls, new stalls can be displayed. In other words, if there are blank areas between stalls, new stalls can be created. Usually, the number of these stalls is determined and displayed on the corresponding target area so that players can see which target area still has empty spaces to set up a stall.

[0054] Optionally, in a specified order, for each target area, a first blank area without displayed stalls can be determined from the target area, and a first number of stalls can be displayed in the first blank area. Then, a second blank area without displayed stalls can be determined from the adjacent areas of the target area, and a second number of stalls can be displayed in the second blank area. The sum of the first number and the second number is determined as the above-mentioned number of vacant stalls.

[0055] Optionally, the second blank area can be set to be occupied so that when determining the number of vacant stalls for the next target area, vacant stalls that have already been counted in the previous target area will not be counted again in the current target area.

[0056] The specified order can be random, or in order of increasing number of stalls in the target area, or in order of the earliest creation time of the stalls in the target area.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the number of vacant stalls is displayed in each target area.

[0058] One possible implementation of the steps described above for determining the number of vacant stalls corresponding to the target area is as follows:

[0059] (1) Determine the vacant areas corresponding to the target area; the vacant areas are located in or adjacent to the target area;

[0060] The aforementioned vacant areas include a first blank area located within the target area and a second blank area adjacent to the target area. One possible implementation: If the game scene includes a first target area and a second target area; the first target area is determined by the area where a target stall belonging to a first type is located, and the second target area is determined by the area where a target stall belonging to a second type is located; a first vacant area corresponding to the first target area and a second vacant area corresponding to the second target area are determined; the first and second vacant areas are used to display newly created stalls; if the first and second vacant areas overlap, it is determined whether the stall priority in the first target area is higher than the stall priority in the second target area; based on the determination result, a vacant area corresponding to either the first or second target area is determined.

[0061] The above-mentioned step of determining the vacant area corresponding to the first target area or the second target area based on the judgment result can be implemented as follows: If the stall priority of the stall in the first target area is higher than the stall priority of the stall in the second target area, the first vacant area, as well as the first vacant area and the second vacant area, are determined as the vacant area corresponding to the first target area; if the stall priority of the stall in the first target area is lower than the stall priority of the stall in the second target area, the second vacant area, as well as the first vacant area and the second vacant area, are determined as the vacant area corresponding to the second target area.

[0062] The stall priority (also known as area priority) is related to the stall's creation time (area creation time). Generally, the area with the earliest creation time has a higher stall priority. Stalls can continue to be displayed in the first and second vacant areas, and these stalls will not be obscured by other stalls.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the graphical user interface includes a first target area (such as...). Figure 6 Target region a) and second target region (e.g.) Figure 6 The target region c) is the first empty region corresponding to the first target region. Figure 6 The black area in the middle, the second empty area corresponding to the second target area is also the second empty area. Figure 6 In the black area, the first vacant area overlaps with the second vacant area. If the stall priority of the stall in the first target area is higher than the stall priority of the stall in the second target area, the black area is determined as the vacant area corresponding to the first target area; if the stall priority of the stall in the first target area is lower than the stall priority of the stall in the second target area, the black area is determined as the vacant area corresponding to the second target area.

[0064] (2) Determine the number of vacant stalls in the target area based on the size of the vacant area and the size of the area where the stall is located.

[0065] If the size of the vacant area is 2*2 and the size of the stall is 1*1, then the number of vacant stalls in the target area is determined to be 4. If the size of the vacant area is 3*3 and the size of the area where the stall is located is 2*2, then the number of vacant stalls in the target area is determined to be 1.

[0066] In one possible approach, if the target instruction is a second transaction instruction, optionally, a purchase control is displayed in the graphical user interface. Responding to a trigger operation on the purchase control, based on the stall's location and the game items sold at the stall, a target stall of the same type is determined from multiple stalls; from the target stalls, a designated stall selling the target game item with the highest sales ratio is determined, and the ratio of the number of designated stalls to the number of target stalls is calculated; after determining the target area where the target stall is located, the method further includes:

[0067] Based on the historical usage frequency of each game item for the current game account, the first game item whose historical usage frequency is greater than a preset frequency threshold is identified; in response to the current game account having fewer than a preset quantity threshold for the first game item, and the item information of the first game item being displayed in the target area, a first prompt message is displayed in the target area; the first prompt message is used to indicate that the first game item missing from the current game account can be replenished in the target stall in the target area.

[0068] The aforementioned current game account refers to the game account logged in on the terminal device, which controls the player's historical usage frequency of various game items. The aforementioned preset frequency threshold can be a pre-set value, such as 50%. The aforementioned preset quantity threshold can also be a pre-set value, such as 0 or 1. If the current game account has insufficient quantity of the first game item to achieve the specified function, and the target area primarily sells this first game item, a first prompt message will be displayed in the target area. This first prompt message can be text or graphic information, such as "Recommended." For example, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a "Recommended" message is displayed in target area c.

[0069] The above method also includes: determining a second game item whose transaction volume meets a second preset condition based on the historical transaction data of each game item; displaying a second prompt message in the target area in response to the display of item information of the second game item in the target area; the second prompt message is used to indicate that the game item sold at the target stall in the target area is a currently popular game item.

[0070] The second game item whose transaction volume meets the second preset condition can be either a game item with a transaction volume exceeding a preset threshold, or it can be the game item with the highest transaction volume. If most players in the current game are buying or selling the second game item, a second prompt message will be displayed in the target area where the second game item is primarily sold. This second prompt message can be text or graphic information, such as "Hot". For example, such as... Figure 7As shown, the "Hot" notification message is displayed on target area a and target area b.

[0071] The above method also includes: in response to an update of the target stall in the target area and the current game account having previously viewed the target stall, displaying a third prompt message on the target area; the third prompt message is used to indicate that the target stall has been updated.

[0072] If a stall in a target area is updated—for example, the stall owner adds game items they weren't selling before, or a new stall is created in the target area—and the current game account has frequently viewed target stalls in that area, a third-party notification will be displayed in the target area. This notification can be text or an image, such as "New Arrivals." For example,... Figure 7 As shown, the "New Arrivals" notification is displayed in target area d and target area b.

[0073] The target stalls mentioned above include the first group of stalls with adjacent stall locations; usually, the game interface includes multiple target stalls. For example, target stalls of the same type can be target stalls of type A game item. In this case, the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first group of stalls mentioned above is game item A.

[0074] Alternatively, the target stalls may include a first group of stalls located adjacent to each other, and a first alternative stall located at least partially within a specified range of the first group of stalls. The first group of stalls may include multiple groups, each group comprising multiple stalls. Among the first alternative stalls, there is a stall where the highest percentage of game item A is sold.

[0075] The above steps, which determine target stalls of the same type from multiple stalls based on their location and the game items they sell, can be implemented in the following way:

[0076] Based on the stall location and the game items sold at the stall, multiple first stall combinations are determined from a pool of stalls. Each first stall combination includes a first number of first stalls, and the first stalls are located consecutively. The game items with the highest sales ratio among the first stalls included in each first stall combination are the same. Different first stall combinations include different game items with the highest sales ratio among the first stalls. For each first stall combination, a first alternative stall located within a specified range of the first stall combination is determined. If the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first alternative stall located furthest from the first stall combination is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio among the first stalls included in the first stall combination, then the first stall included in the first stall combination and the first alternative stall are determined as the target stall.

[0077] The aforementioned specified range typically refers to the area containing three or two consecutive stalls adjacent to the first stall combination.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the calculation is performed with three or more consecutive stalls (where the game item with the highest sales ratio is the same) as the center. The specified range of the first stall combination is the gray area. For each first candidate stall, if the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first candidate stall is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination, the first candidate stall is determined as the target stall.

[0079] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, if the game item with the highest sales ratio in the following three locations within the first specified range (above): first alternative stall 3, the first alternative stall 6, the first alternative stall 8, the first alternative stall 8, and the first alternative stall 10, which are farthest from the first stall combination, are all the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination, then the first stall a, the second stall b, the third stall c, the first alternative stall 1, the first alternative stall 2, the first alternative stall 3, the first alternative stall 4, the first alternative stall 5, the first alternative stall 6, the first alternative stall 7, the first alternative stall 8, the first alternative stall 9, and the first alternative stall 10 included in the first stall combination are all determined as target stalls.

[0080] The game items with the highest sales ratio in the first alternative stalls 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 can be the same as or different from the game items with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, if the game item with the highest sales ratio in the following three locations within the first specified range (above): first alternative stall 2, the first alternative stall 6, the first alternative stall 8, the first alternative stall 8, and the first alternative stall 10, which are the furthest from the first stall combination within the first specified range (above), is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stall included in the first stall combination, then the first stall a, the second stall b, the third stall c, the first alternative stall 1, the first alternative stall 2, the first alternative stall 6, the first alternative stall 8, and the first alternative stall 10 included in the first stall combination will be determined as the target stall.

[0082] After the step of determining the first stall and the candidate stalls included in the first stall combination as target stalls if the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first candidate stall located furthest from the first stall combination is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination, the method further includes: determining at least one second stall combination from the first candidate stalls, wherein the second stalls included in the second stall combination are in consecutive positions, and the game item with the highest sales ratio in the second stalls is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination; and performing the step of determining second candidate stalls located within a specified range of the second stall combination for each second stall combination.

[0083] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, if first alternative stalls 10, 11, and 12 in the first alternative stalls can form a second stall combination, then first alternative stalls 10, 11, and 12 are the aforementioned second stalls. The positions of first alternative stalls 10, 11, and 12 are consecutive, and the game item with the highest sales ratio in this stall is the same as the game item with the highest sales ratio in the first stalls included in the first stall combination. Continue with the step of determining the second alternative stalls located within a specified range of the second stall combination for each second stall combination, where the specified range of the second stall combination is... Figure 10 The gray area in the text.

[0084] The aforementioned multiple first stall combinations include: a first type of stall combination and a second type of stall combination; for each first stall combination, the step of determining a first alternative stall within a specified range of the first stall combination, one possible implementation is as follows:

[0085] Determine whether a first designated range of the first type of stall combination overlaps with a second designated range of the second type of stall combination; if so, determine whether the stall priority of the stalls in the first type of stall combination is higher than that of the stalls in the second type of stall combination; wherein, the stall priority is related to the creation time of the stalls in the first type of stall combination; if the stall priority of the first type of stall combination is higher than that of the stalls in the second type of stall combination, determine the first alternative stall within the first designated range. Optionally, the stall priority is related to the combination determination time of the first stall combination.

[0086] The above method also includes: if the stall priority of the first type of stall combination is lower than the stall priority of the second type of stall; determine the overlapping area between the first specified range and the second specified range, delete the overlapping area of ​​the first specified range to obtain the third specified range; and determine the first candidate stall within the third specified range.

[0087] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, if the dark gray area represents the first designated range of the first type of stall combination, and the light gray area represents the second designated range of the second type of stall combination, then if the overlapping area of ​​the first designated range and the second designated range is... Figure 11 If the stall priority of the first type of stall combination is higher than that of the second type of stall, the first candidate stall within the first specified range of the first type of stall combination is determined; at the same time, the overlapping area of ​​the second specified range is deleted to obtain the fourth specified range, and the first candidate stall within the fourth specified range of the second type of stall combination is determined.

[0088] If the stall priority of the first type of stall combination is lower than that of the second type of stall, delete the overlapping area within the first specified range to obtain the third specified range, and determine the first candidate stall within the third specified range of the first type of stall combination. Determine the first candidate stall within the second specified range of the second type of stall combination.

[0089] In the above methods, players can more quickly identify the core product areas of each section, greatly reducing the manpower and time costs caused by blindly and repeatedly clicking through stalls, and improving information delivery. It also solves the problem that buyers and sellers in the game cannot act quickly based on the situation of each area when selling or buying items. By providing players with different channels to view areas, players can quickly and accurately locate the target area based on the corresponding data information and recommended tags provided by the area, greatly improving the efficiency of action and game experience in the process of buying and selling goods.
