[0031] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the principles and spirit of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and then implement the present disclosure, rather than limiting the scope of the present disclosure in any way. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to be able to convey the scope of the present disclosure completely to those skilled in the art.

[0032] In this article, it should be understood that any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction and does not have any limiting meaning.

[0033] It should be noted that unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "including" or "comprising" mean that the elements or objects appearing before this word cover the elements or objects listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

The article "a" or "an" before an element does not exclude the existence of multiple such elements.

[0034] Next, with reference to several representative embodiments of the present disclosure, the principles and spirit of the present disclosure will be elaborated in detail.

[0035] As described in the background art, in an electronic game implemented based on computer and Internet technologies, a player can control a virtual character to throw virtual props to play the game. The virtual props include, for example, smoke bombs, flash bombs, grenades, etc.

[0036] However, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that when throwing virtual props, if a good game effect is to be achieved, it requires relatively high experience and skills of the player. Therefore, the learning cost of the player for game interaction is relatively high and the user experience is poor. Specifically:

[0037] First, in a shooting electronic game, the bullet trajectory of a virtual gun is close to a straight line. As long as the player aims at the target object with the sight, the bullet is relatively easy to hit the target object. However, different from virtual guns, the ammunition trajectories of virtual props used for throwing, such as smoke bombs, flash bombs, grenades, etc., are parabolas, which require relatively high experience and skills of the player. If the player's experience and skills are insufficient, the virtual props thrown are difficult to hit the target object.

[0038] Furthermore, the virtual props used for throwing include smoke bombs, flash bombs, grenades, etc. Grenades, etc. are used to directly cause damage; while smoke bombs, flash bombs, etc. do not directly cause damage and are used to achieve tactical functions. Among them, compared with grenades, etc., the use of smoke bombs, flash bombs, etc. requires higher experience and skills of the player. If the player's experience and skills are insufficient, the virtual props thrown are difficult to achieve tactical functions.

[0039] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a throwing assistance solution. By providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, at least part of a virtual scene is displayed on the graphical user interface. The virtual scene includes a virtual character controlled by the terminal, and the virtual character is equipped with a target virtual prop. Specifically, it includes:

[0040] Displaying at least one throwing assistance option on the graphical user interface; in response to a selection operation on a target throwing assistance option among the at least one throwing assistance option, at least one throwing aiming recommended position is obtained based on the position of the virtual character, environmental information, and a target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option; and at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position.

[0041] The present disclosure provides assistance for throwing the target virtual prop, reduces the requirements for the experience and skills of the player, reduces the learning cost of the player for game interaction, and has a good user experience.

[0042] After introducing the basic principle of the present disclosure, the various non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure will be specifically introduced below.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a throwing assistance method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] In this application scenario, a terminal device 100 and a server 200 are included. Among them, the terminal device 100 and the server 200 can be connected through a wired or wireless communication network to achieve data interaction.

[0045] The terminal device 100 may be an electronic device near the user side with data transmission, multimedia input / output functions, 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 implementing 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, and the graphical user interface may display an application interface. 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.

[0046] The server 200 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides 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), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the throwing assistance method may run on the terminal device 100 or the server 200.

[0048] In this exemplary embodiment, when the throwing assistance method runs on the terminal device 100, a client is installed in the terminal device 100, and a graphical user interface is provided through the client to interact with the player. At least a part of a virtual scene is displayed on the graphical user interface. The virtual scene includes a virtual character controlled by the terminal, and the virtual character is equipped with a target virtual prop. At least one throwing assistance option is displayed on the graphical user interface. In response to a selection operation on a target throwing assistance option among the at least one throwing assistance option, at least one throwing aiming recommended position is obtained based on the position of the virtual character, environmental information, and a target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option. At least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position.

[0049] Players can make throws based on the assistance of aiming at the recommended position identifier for throwing. For example, they can aim the virtual aiming crosshair at the recommended position identifier for throwing and then make a throw.

[0050] In specific implementation, when the throwing assistance method runs on the terminal device 100, the terminal device 100 stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The terminal device 100 is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed on the terminal device 100 and run. The way the terminal device 100 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 device 100, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the terminal device 100 can include a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, which includes the game screen, and 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.

[0051] In the above exemplary embodiment, the throwing assistance method running on the terminal device 100 is taken as an example for illustration, that is, the game runs locally on the terminal device 100. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some exemplary embodiments, the throwing assistance method can also run on the server 200, such as for cloud gaming.

[0052] Cloud gaming refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of cloud gaming, the running entity of the game program and the presenting entity of the game scene are separated. The storage and running of the control method in the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. The role of the terminal device 100 is to receive and send data and present the game scene. For example, the terminal device 100 can be a display device with data transmission function near the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the terminal device 100 to send an operation instruction to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses data such as the game scene, and returns it to the terminal device 100 through the network. Finally, the terminal device 100 decodes and outputs the game scene.

[0053] The following combines Figure 1 the application scenarios to describe the throwing assistance method according to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown for the convenience of understanding the spirit and principle of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this regard. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0054] Refer to Figure 2 , which is another application scenario diagram of the throwing assistance method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] A throwing assistance method provides a graphical user interface 101 through a terminal device, and at least a part of a virtual scene 102 is displayed on the graphical user interface 101. The virtual scene 102 includes a virtual character 103 controlled by the terminal, and the virtual character 103 holds a target virtual prop 104.

[0056] In specific implementation, the graphical user interface 101 is obtained by executing a game program on the above terminal device 100 or a server of other devices and rendering it on the display of the terminal device 100, and it can be the display screen interface of the terminal device 100.

[0057] The virtual scene 102 is a game scene displayed (or provided) when the game program runs on the terminal device 100 or a server of other devices, that is, the scene used during the game process. Optionally, the virtual scene 102 can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene 102 can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5D virtual scene, and a three-dimensional virtual scene.

[0058] The virtual character 103 can move, fight, etc. under the control of an operation instruction issued by a user (i.e., a player) to the terminal device 100 in the virtual scene 102.

[0059] Among them, the virtual scene 102 is a virtual game space that carries the virtual character 103 during the game process. Among them, the virtual scene 102 is a scene for the user to control the virtual character 103 to execute a complete game logic. Optionally, the virtual scene 102 can also be used for virtual battles between at least two virtual characters 103. Exemplarily, the virtual scene 102 can include any one or more of the following elements: game background elements, game character elements, game prop elements, and game material elements, etc.

[0060] The target virtual prop 104 is a throwing prop in an electronic game, including but not limited to smoke bombs, flash bombs, grenades, stun bombs, incendiary bombs, sticky bombs, decoy bombs, remote control bombs, etc.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 , which is a schematic flowchart of a throwing assistance method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] The throwing assistance method includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S310: Display at least one throwing assistance option on the graphical user interface.

[0064] Next, the preparatory throwing operation for the target virtual prop will be introduced. Specifically:

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, at least one throwing assistance option is displayed on the graphical user interface, including:

[0066] In response to the operation of switching the virtual prop currently held by the virtual character to the target virtual prop, it is determined as the preparatory throwing operation for the target virtual prop;

[0067] The at least one throwing assistance option is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0068] As an example, refer to Figure 2 , where a virtual prop bar 105 is displayed on the graphical user interface 101.

[0069] The virtual prop bar 105 contains at least one virtual prop, such as a virtual rifle 1051, a virtual pistol 1052, a virtual grenade 1053, and a virtual smoke bomb 1054.

[0070] The player can select at least one virtual prop in the virtual prop bar 105 for use. When the player selects to use the target virtual prop 104, it is determined as the preparatory throwing operation for the target virtual prop 104, and the at least one throwing assistance option 106 is displayed on the graphical user interface 101.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, a throwing control is displayed on the graphical user interface, and at least one throwing assistance option is displayed on the graphical user interface, including:

[0072] In response to the triggering operation on the throwing control, it is determined as the preparatory throwing operation for the target virtual prop;

[0073] The at least one throwing assistance option is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0074] As an example, refer to Figure 2 , where a throwing control 107 is displayed on the graphical user interface 101.

[0075] In response to the triggering operation on the throwing control 107, it is determined as the preparatory throwing operation for the target virtual prop 104;

[0076] The at least one throwing assistance option 106 is displayed on the graphical user interface 101.

[0077] In specific implementation, the triggering operation for the throwing control 107 can be a single click, double click, long press, or hard press, etc. For example, for a long press, the duration that the user needs to hold for forming the long press can be set accordingly according to specific implementation requirements, such as 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.; for a single click, double click, or hard press, specific parameters such as the action duration, operation interval, and pressing force can be set accordingly according to the specific hardware and software parameters of the client device to which the method of this embodiment is applied. No specific limitations are made on the above specific setting contents in this embodiment. In addition, the triggering operation can also be any feasible triggering operation that is simple and different from the triggering operations in the prior art other than those exemplified above.

[0078] Step S320, in response to the selection operation for the target throwing assistance option among the at least one throwing assistance option, based on the position of the virtual character, the environmental information, and the target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option, obtain at least one throwing aiming recommended position.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, the environmental information includes at least one of the following:

[0080] The terrain information, building information, and position information of virtual objects in a preset range around the virtual character in the virtual scene that are in a hostile relationship with the virtual character.

[0081] As an example, refer to Figure 2 , where the environmental information includes: information on the building 110 within a preset range around the virtual character 103 in the virtual scene 102.

[0082] In some exemplary embodiments, the obtaining at least one throwing aiming recommended position in response to the selection operation for the target throwing assistance option among the at least one throwing assistance option, based on the position of the virtual character, the environmental information, and the target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option, includes:

[0083] Based on the target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option, process the position of the virtual character and the environmental information to obtain at least one target hit position;

[0084] Based on the at least one target hit position, obtain the at least one throwing aiming recommended position.

[0085] Next, taking the target virtual prop as a smoke grenade as an example for illustration:

[0086] As an example, when the target virtual prop is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a one-way smoke, the target assistance strategy can be "effectively block the enemy's line of sight and effectively observe the enemy's legs";

[0087] When the target virtual prop is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a defensive smoke, the target assistance strategy can be "effectively blocking the enemy's gun line".

[0088] When the target virtual prop is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a partition smoke, the target assistance strategy can be "effectively blocking the enemy's line of sight and effectively reducing the probability of being hit".

[0089] In some exemplary embodiments, the obtaining of at least one throwing aiming recommended position in response to a selection operation for a target throwing assistance option in the at least one throwing assistance option, based on the position of the virtual character, environmental information, and the target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option, includes:

[0090] Inputting the position of the virtual character, the environmental information, and the target assistance strategy corresponding to the target throwing assistance option into a pre-trained throwing aiming position recommendation model, to obtain the at least one throwing aiming recommended position output by the throwing aiming position recommendation model.

[0091] Specifically in implementation, the sources of the training data of the throwing aiming position recommendation model include but are not limited to existing databases, data crawled from the Internet, or data uploaded when the user uses the client, i.e., historical game data.

[0092] In the above exemplary embodiments, taking the target virtual prop being a smoke grenade as an example for illustration, optionally, for different types of target virtual props, the corresponding assistance strategies may be different.

[0093] Step S330, based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position, display at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier on the graphical user interface.

[0094] In some exemplary embodiments, the displaying of at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position includes:

[0095] When at least two of the throwing aiming recommended position identifiers are displayed on the graphical user interface, display the priority information of the throwing aiming recommended position identifiers.

[0096] As an example, refer to Figure 4 , where a priority identifier 111 is displayed within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108.

[0097] Among them, the priority identifier 111 indicates that the throwing aiming recommended position corresponding to the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108 is the one with the highest priority among all the throwing aiming recommended positions.

[0098] In the above exemplary embodiments, the priority information of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier is taken as an example for illustration. Optionally, in some possible implementation manners, the priority information of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier may be a priority serial number.

[0099] In some exemplary embodiments, after displaying at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position, the method further includes:

[0100] Displaying a throwing effect preview identifier of the target virtual item around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier.

[0101] As an example, referring to Figure 4 , where a throwing effect preview identifier 112 of the target virtual item is displayed around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108.

[0102] Among them, the throwing effect preview identifier 112 represents the action range of the target virtual item. For example, when the target virtual item is a smoke grenade, the throwing effect preview identifier 112 represents the smoke range after the smoke grenade takes effect.

[0103] In the above exemplary embodiments, the throwing effect preview identifier 112 is taken as a circle for illustration. Optionally, in some possible implementation manners, the throwing effect preview identifier 112 may be any shape related to the action range of the target virtual item.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, after displaying at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position, the method further includes:

[0105] Displaying recommended reason information for the throwing aiming recommended position identifier within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier.

[0106] As an example, referring to Figure 4 , where recommended reason information 113 for the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108 is displayed within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108.

[0107] Among them, as an example, when the target virtual item is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a one-way smoke, the recommended reason information 113 may be "effectively block the enemy's line of sight and effectively observe the enemy's legs";

[0108] When the target virtual item is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a defensive smoke, the recommended reason information 113 may be "effectively block the enemy's gun line". Optionally, the number of enemy gun lines that can be blocked may also be displayed;

[0109] When the target virtual item is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is to block the smoke, the recommended reason information 113 can be "effectively block the enemy's line of sight and effectively reduce the probability of being hit".

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, a virtual aiming sight is displayed on the graphical user interface;

[0111] After displaying at least one throwing aiming recommended position identifier on the graphical user interface based on the at least one throwing aiming recommended position, the method further includes:

[0112] In response to an adjustment instruction for the aiming position of the virtual aiming sight, adjusting the aiming position of the virtual aiming sight;

[0113] In response to the aiming position moving to within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier, adjusting the aiming position to the position of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier.

[0114] As an example, refer to Figure 4 , where a sight adsorption range identifier 114 is displayed within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108.

[0115] Wherein, the sight adsorption range identifier 114 is used to characterize the sight adsorption range. Optionally, the size of the sight adsorption range can be determined according to the action range of the target virtual item, such as a smoke grenade; the size of the sight adsorption range can also be fixed.

[0116] When the aiming position of the virtual aiming sight 109 moves into the sight adsorption range identifier 114, adjust the aiming position of the virtual aiming sight 109 to the position of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108.

[0117] Optionally, when the aiming position of the virtual aiming sight 109 moves into the sight adsorption range identifier 114, highlight the sight adsorption range identifier 114.

[0118] In the above exemplary embodiment, taking highlighting the sight adsorption range identifier 114 as an example for illustration, optionally, in some possible implementation manners, the sight adsorption range identifier 114 is displayed in other prominent display manners except highlighting, such as flashing display, or giving it a prominent color such as red.

[0119] As an example, refer to Figure 5 , where the target virtual item is a smoke grenade and the throwing assistance option is a defensive smoke;

[0120] After aiming at the position of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier 108, display an enemy gun line position identifier 115 within the throwing effect preview identifier 112.

[0121] Among them, the enemy gunline position identifier 115 is used to represent the enemy gunline positions effectively blocked when the target virtual item is, for example, a smoke grenade.

[0122] In some exemplary embodiments, after the method adjusts the aiming position to the position of the throwing aiming recommended position identifier in response to the aiming position moving to within a preset range around the throwing aiming recommended position identifier, the method further includes:

[0123] In response to a confirmed throwing operation for the target virtual item, use the throwing aiming recommended position as the aiming position of the virtual sight, and throw the target virtual item.

[0124] In some exemplary embodiments, a throwing control is displayed on the graphical user interface;
