[0022] To make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following specific preferred embodiments are given below and described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows. Description of the Drawings

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the description of the specific embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following drawings are some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] In the related art, various types of equipment are usually displayed in the warehouse in the form of thumbnails, and each type of equipment is placed relatively independently in the grids in the warehouse. The information displayed by the thumbnails is too little. When players select equipment, they often need to rely on experience or the detailed information of the equipment. When players have insufficient experience or do not have time to view the detailed information, for equipment that needs to be used in a set, there will be situations where not all of the equipment is selected, or the selected equipment for use in a set has a mismatched model. Taking firearms and bullets as an example, players may select a firearm but forget to select the bullets to be installed on the firearm, or select bullets with a model mismatched with that of the firearm, resulting in players entering the game session with a firearm without bullets. In the game session, players cannot use the firearm, which affects the players' game scores and game experiences.

[0035] Based on the above, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a method for controlling the display of virtual items provided by an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various games, such as shooting games, or other games that require carrying equipment to participate in game sessions.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for controlling the display of virtual items can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for controlling the display of virtual items runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, where the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, various cloud applications can run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operating mode of cloud games, the running entity of the game program and the presenting entity of the game screen are separated. The storage and running of the method for controlling the display of virtual items are completed on the cloud game server, and the role of the client device is to receive and send data and present the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function near the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a personal digital assistant, etc.; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing a game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses data such as the game screen, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally, the game program is downloaded and installed on the electronic device and run. The way the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player can include various methods. For example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, and the graphical user interface includes the game screen. The processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0039] In a possible implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling the display of virtual items. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. The terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Through the terminal device, a graphical user interface is provided, and the content of the interface can be displayed on the graphical user interface according to the type of the launched application program. For example, a game scene screen, a communication interaction window, and the like.

[0040] See Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for controlling the display of virtual items as shown. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes an item display area of a first item container and an item display area of a second item container. The first item container is used to hold the virtual items that the controlled virtual object has outside the game session. The second item container is used to hold the virtual items carried by the controlled virtual object into the game session.

[0041] Before participating in a game session, the player needs to select the virtual items to be carried into the game session. In some games, the first item container is a warehouse, and the virtual items owned by the player's game account are held in the first item container, that is, the virtual items that the controlled virtual object controlled by the player has outside the game session. The virtual items in the first item container can be virtual items purchased by the player or virtual items obtained by the controlled virtual object in participating in the game session. For example, virtual items picked up in the game scene or virtual items obtained after eliminating other virtual objects. In this embodiment, the virtual items can be various weapons of the controlled virtual object, such as firearms, bullets, grenades, etc., and can also be medicines, armors, clothing, etc.

[0042] In some games, the second item container is a backpack, a safe, or an equipment area. The virtual items in the backpack, the safe, or the equipment area can be carried by the controlled virtual object into the game session, and the controlled virtual object can use the virtual items in the backpack during the game session.

[0043] In the aforementioned graphical user interface, it includes an item display area of a first item container and an item display area of a second item container. The virtual items in the first item container are displayed in the item display area of the first item container. Usually, the area size of the item display area is limited. If there are many virtual items in the first item container, only some virtual items may be displayed in the item display area, and the player can operate the scroll bar, turn the page, etc. to make other virtual items displayed in the item display area.

[0044] If there are multiple second item containers, the item display area of the second item container can be divided into multiple sub-areas. For example, a backpack area, a safe area, an equipment bar area, etc. Each sub-area can be preset with a specified space to limit the virtual items carried by the virtual controlled object into the game session.

[0045] Due to the different functions of the two containers, the item display areas of the first item container and the second item container are separated from each other, or a certain distance can be preset so that players can clearly know the virtual items contained in each container.

[0046] The above method for controlling the display of virtual items includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S102, in response to a movement operation on the first virtual item in the first item container, control the first virtual item to move from the first item container to the second item container;

[0048] The first virtual item can be any item in the first item container. In this embodiment, the first virtual item is a virtual item that needs to be used in combination with other virtual items. For example, if the first virtual item is a firearm, the associated item of the first virtual item is the bullet used in combination with the firearm; another example is that if the first virtual item is a bow, the associated item of the first virtual item is the arrow used in combination with the bow. In the game, the association relationship between the first virtual item and the associated item of the first virtual item can be preset in advance. By searching for this association relationship, it can be obtained whether the first virtual item is configured with an associated item and the item identifier of the associated item.

[0049] In the above graphical user interface, the first virtual item is displayed in the item display area of the first item container, or, through the player's sliding operation or page-turning operation, the first virtual item is displayed in the item display area of the first item container. The movement operation on the first virtual item can specifically be a drag operation on the first virtual item, or a click operation, a double-click operation, etc. on the first virtual item. Taking the drag operation as an example, after dragging the first virtual item out of the grid of the first item container, the first virtual item moves with the touch point of the drag operation. After the first virtual item moves to the second item container, the player performs a drag release operation, and then the first virtual item is placed in the second item container.

[0050] If the second item container includes multiple grids, the second item container is placed in any grid, or in a grid near the position where the drag release operation occurs. If the second item container is divided into multiple sub-areas, according to the item type of the first virtual item, the first virtual item is placed in the grid of the corresponding sub-area.

[0051] Step S104: Determine that the associated item of the first item container is not in the second item container, and display an information prompt indicator; wherein, the associated item is: an item used in combination with the first virtual item in the game session; the information prompt indicator is used to: prompt the storage status of the associated item in the first item container.

[0052] When the first virtual item moves to the second item container, it can be understood that the controlled virtual object will subsequently carry the first virtual item into the game session. To enable the first virtual item to be used normally in the game session, when the first virtual item moves to the second item container, the game system can detect whether the first virtual item has an associated item. If it has an associated item, it can detect whether the associated item is in the second item container. Only when both the first virtual item and the associated item are in the second item container can the controlled virtual object carry both the first virtual item and the associated item into the game session, and the first virtual item can be used normally in the game session. It can be understood that the associated item is an item used in combination with the first virtual item in the game session. For example, for a firearm, the associated item is bullets; for a potion, the associated item is cotton wool, etc.

[0053] If the associated item of the first virtual item is not in the second item container, in order to prompt the player, in this embodiment, an information prompt indicator is displayed. The information prompt indicator is used to prompt the storage status of the associated item in the first item container. The storage status may include information such as whether the associated item exists in the first item container, the position of the associated item in the first item container, the quantity, etc. On the one hand, the information prompt indicator can prevent the player from forgetting to move the associated item to the second item container, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the player to quickly and accurately find the associated item from the first item container.

[0054] The above-mentioned virtual item display control method controls the movement of the first virtual item from the first item container to a second item container in response to a move operation on the first virtual item in the first item container; and displays an information prompt upon determining that an associated item of the first virtual item is not located in the second item container. The associated item is an item used in conjunction with the first virtual item in a game match; and the information prompt is used to indicate the storage status of the associated item in the first item container. In this method, the second item container holds virtual items brought to a game match. When the first virtual item is moved to the second item container, if the associated item of the first virtual item is not located in the second item container, an information prompt is displayed indicating the storage status of the associated item in the first item container. This prevents players from forgetting to move the associated item to the second item container and facilitates players to quickly and accurately find the associated item in the first item container, ensuring the normal use of the first virtual item in the game match, thereby improving the player's gaming performance and gaming experience.

[0055] The following embodiments describe specific implementations of displaying information prompt identifiers.

[0056] In one embodiment, it is determined that an associated item of a first virtual item is not located in a second item container, and in response to a first triggering operation on the first virtual item, it is determined that the associated item is located in the first item container, and a first prompt mark is displayed; wherein the first prompt mark is used to: indicate the location of the associated item in the first item container.

[0057] In this method, if the game system detects that the associated items of the first virtual item are not located in the second item container, it will not directly display the first prompt indicator. However, to remind the player that the associated items are not located in the second item container, other prompt indicators may be used. The first trigger operation may be a click operation on the first virtual item. That is, after the first virtual item is placed in the second item container, the player clicks or double-clicks the first virtual item again. At this time, the first prompt indicator is displayed. The first prompt indicator is used to indicate the location of the associated items in the first item container. The display of the first prompt indicator is premised on the presence of the associated items of the first virtual item in the first item container. If the associated items do not exist in the first item container, other prompt indicators may be used to provide a prompt.

[0058] The first prompt mark can be text, symbols, highlights or other dynamic effects, which are used to prompt the location of the associated item in the first item container, so that the player can quickly find the associated item of the first virtual item and avoid the player from finding the wrong associated item.

[0059] In actual implementation, in the item display area of the first item container, the associated item and / or the placement position of the associated item are displayed in a first display format. The first display format can be highlighted display, edge outward diffusion, flowing light effect, etc. Generally, the first display format is different from the display formats of other items or the placement positions of items in the first item container. In actual implementation, only the associated item or the placement position of the associated item can be displayed in the first display format, or both the associated item and the placement position of the associated item can be displayed in the first display format.

[0060] Figure 2 As an example, the first virtual item is a firearm, and the first virtual item is located in the equipment bar of the second item container. At this time, when the player performs a click operation on the first virtual item, the placement grid of the associated item is highlighted in the first item container. By highlighting, the player can be prompted of the position of the associated item in the first item container, facilitating the player to quickly find the correct associated item for the first virtual item.

[0061] This method can prompt the placement position of the associated item, facilitating the player to quickly find the correct associated item for the first virtual item and simplifying the operation of the player to select items.

[0062] Further, after prompting the position of the associated item in the first item container through the aforementioned first prompt identifier, the player can perform a movement operation on the associated item. This movement operation is similar to the movement operation on the first virtual item, thereby moving the associated item to the second item container as well.

[0063] In addition, to improve the convenience of the movement operation of the associated item, in this embodiment, in response to a second trigger operation on the first virtual item, the associated item is controlled to move from the first item container to the second item container. The second trigger operation can be preset as a single click operation or a double click operation. After the first prompt identifier is displayed, when a second trigger operation is performed on the first virtual item, the associated item is moved from the first item container to the second item container. This method can improve the efficiency of moving the associated item and save the time for the player to select equipment.

[0064] Considering that the space of the second item container is limited, when the number of second item containers is large, the quantity of the associated item can be considered when moving the associated item. For example, the associated item is bullets. There may be 1000 bullets in the first item container, and the second item container cannot hold 1000 bullets. In this case, the quantity of the associated item to be moved to the second item container needs to be considered.

[0065] Specifically, in response to a first control operation for a first virtual item, control a specified unit quantity of associated items to move from a first item container to a second item container; in response to a second control operation for the first virtual item, continue to execute the step of controlling the specified unit quantity of associated items to move from the first item container to the second item container until all the associated items in the first item container are moved to the second item container.

[0066] The aforementioned specified unit quantity can be set in advance. For example, it can be 50, 100, etc. The aforementioned first control operation and second control operation can specifically be click operations such as single - click operations and double - click operations, or can also be other operation gestures. Taking the single - click operation as an example, in actual implementation, when a player performs a single - click operation on the first virtual item, the specified unit quantity of associated items moves from the first item container to the second item container. At this time, the quantity of associated items in the first item container decreases by the specified unit quantity, and the quantity of associated items in the second item container increases by the specified unit quantity; then, when the player performs a single - click operation on the second virtual item again, the specified unit quantity of associated items continues to move from the first item container to the second item container. At this time, the quantity of associated items in the first item container continues to decrease by the specified unit quantity, and the quantity of associated items in the second item container continues to increase by the specified unit quantity. In one example, the specified unit quantity is 100. Each time the player clicks on the first virtual item, 100 associated items move from the first item container to the second item container until all the associated items in the first item container are moved to the second item container.

[0067] The above - mentioned method can improve the moving efficiency of associated items while enabling the player to adjust the quantity of associated items, further improving the player's equipment selection efficiency.

[0068] In the foregoing embodiment, after the player performs a first trigger operation on the first virtual item, when there are associated items in the first item container, a first prompt identifier is displayed. However, if there are no associated items in the first item container, in response to the first trigger operation on the first virtual item, it is determined that the associated items are not in the first item container, and a second prompt identifier is displayed; wherein, this second prompt identifier is used to: prompt that there are no associated items in the first item container. The second prompt identifier can be text, a symbol, highlighting, or other special effects. After the second prompt identifier is displayed, the player can know that there are no associated items in the first item container. If the player wants to continue using the first virtual item, they need to purchase or obtain associated items through other means.

[0069] In addition, when the associated item of the first virtual item is not in the second item container, in addition to displaying the information prompt identifier indicating the storage status of the associated item in the first item container, a prompt identifier indicating the storage status of the associated item in the second item container can also be displayed. Specifically, it is determined that the associated item of the first virtual item is not in the second item container, and a third prompt identifier is displayed; wherein, the third prompt identifier is used to: prompt that there is no associated item in the second item container.

[0070] Figure 3 As an example, the first virtual item is in the equipment slot of the second item container, but there is no associated item of the first virtual item in the second item container. At this time, an "!" identifier is displayed in the upper right corner of the first virtual item, and this identifier is the third prompt identifier, indicating that there is no associated item in the second item container.

[0071] In response to a movement operation on the associated item in the first item container, control the associated item to move from the first item container to the second item container; cancel the display of the third prompt identifier. For Figure 4 example, the associated item of the first virtual item moves from the first item container to the equipment slot of the second item container. At this time, the third prompt identifier, that is, the "!" identifier, is no longer displayed.

[0072] Through the above method, players can be further reminded whether the associated item has been placed in the second item container, preventing players from forgetting to carry the associated item, ensuring that the first virtual container can be used normally with the associated item in the game session, and improving the error prevention of operations.

[0073] The foregoing embodiments describe the display methods and functions of various information prompt identifiers after the first virtual item moves from the first item container to the second item container. In the following embodiments, when the first virtual item is in the first item container, the relevant status of the associated item is prompted through a prompt identifier.

[0074] Specifically, in response to the first virtual item being displayed in the item display area of the first item container, it is determined that the associated item of the first virtual item is not in the first item container and the second item container, and a fourth prompt identifier is displayed; wherein, the fourth prompt identifier is used to: prompt that there is no associated item in both the first item container and the second item container.

[0075] In this case, the first virtual item is still in the first item container. To let the player know the status of the associated item of the first virtual item, when the first virtual item is displayed in the item display area of the first item container, the game system detects whether the associated item of the first virtual item is located in the first item container or the second item container. If the associated item is located in the first item container or the second item container, or both the first item container and the second item container contain the associated item, then it means that the player's account has the associated item of the first item container, and the first item container can be used normally. However, if neither the first item container nor the second item container contains the associated item, it means that the player's account does not have the associated item. At this time, even if the first virtual item is moved to the second item container and carried into the game session, the first virtual item cannot be used. The move operation of the first virtual item to the second item container becomes an invalid operation. To avoid this invalid operation, when the first virtual item is in the first item container, the aforementioned fourth prompt identifier is displayed to prompt that neither the first item container nor the second item container contains the associated item.

[0076] Figure 5 As an example, the first virtual item is located in the first item container. The first virtual item is a firearm, and neither the first item container nor the second item container contains bullets that match the firearm, that is, the associated item of the first virtual item. At this time, the "△" identifier, that is, the fourth prompt identifier, is displayed in the upper right corner of the first virtual item to prompt that neither the first item container nor the second item container contains the associated item.

[0077] This method prompts the non-existence of the associated item of the first virtual item, avoids the player from moving the first virtual item, and reduces invalid operations.

[0078] Furthermore, in response to the third trigger operation for the first virtual item, an operation control is displayed at a specified position of the first virtual item; wherein, the operation control is used to: provide an interface for obtaining the associated item.

[0079] The third trigger operation can be applied to the single-click operation, double-click operation, or short-distance drag operation in a specific direction of the first virtual item, etc. Since there is no associated item for the first virtual item in the player's account, through the third trigger operation, an operation control is displayed at a specified position of the first virtual item. For example, after double-clicking the first virtual item, an operation control is displayed near the first virtual item. The operation control can be a purchase control for the associated item. When the player clicks the operation control, an item purchase page for the associated item is displayed, and the associated item is obtained through purchase. In addition, the operation control can also provide other ways to obtain the associated item. For example, for item exchange, when the player clicks the operation control, the associated items provided by other players and the item exchange requirements of that player are displayed. The current player gives their other items to that player to exchange for the associated item.

[0080] Meanwhile, when the reference control is displayed, the player can also be further informed that the first virtual item has no associated item by means of prompt text. Figure 6 As an example, when the player clicks the first virtual item, the prompt text "NO Bullet" is displayed above the icon of the first virtual item, i.e., the firearm, to inform that there is no corresponding bullet for the firearm. Meanwhile, an operation control is displayed at the lower right corner of the first virtual item.

[0081] In this way, by providing the operation control, it is convenient for the player to quickly and easily obtain the associated item without having to exit the current page and enter other pages to obtain the associated item.

[0082] In addition, during the game session, the status of the associated item can also be prompted through relevant prompt information. Specifically, in response to the operation of entering the game session, a game scene picture is displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to the display operation for the second item container, the item display area of the second item container is displayed; it is determined that there is no associated item in the second item container, and a fifth prompt identifier is displayed. The fifth prompt identifier is used to: prompt that there is no associated item in the second item container.

[0083] After the player selects the equipment, the page displaying the first item container and the second item container can be closed. By clicking the relevant control, the player can participate in the game session. During the process of participating in the game session, what is displayed in the graphical user interface is the game scene picture and various operation controls. During the process of participating in the game session, some virtual items may be consumed, such as consumables like bullets and medicines.

[0084] Players participate in a game session while carrying a second item container. During the game session, players can open the second item container to view the usage status of various virtual items, pick up or replace virtual items, etc. Players can open the second item container through relevant controls on the graphical user interface. After the second item container is opened, an item display area of the second item container is shown on the graphical user interface. When there is no associated item of the first virtual item in the second item container, a fifth prompt identifier is displayed at this time, indicating that there is no associated item in the second item container, so that the player can replace the first virtual item with other virtual items. For example, for a firearm, it can be replaced with a firearm of another model.

[0085] Figure 7 As an example, during a game session, after the second item container is opened, when there is no associated item of the first virtual item in the second item container, the "△" identifier is displayed, that is, the aforementioned fifth prompt identifier, to indicate that the associated item of the first virtual item has been exhausted. When the player continues to click on the first virtual item, a text prompt is displayed, further indicating that the associated item of the first virtual item has been exhausted.

[0086] This method allows players to immediately know the status of the associated item during the game session, so as to immediately replace the virtual item in use, simplifying the operation for players to obtain item-related status information.
