[0021] The technical solution of this application will be introduced below in conjunction with the drawings in this application.

[0022] It should be noted that the information, data (including, but not limited to: data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc., such as virtual props to be thrown, small maps, operation method prompts, virtual scenes, etc.) and signals involved in this application are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions. For example, the virtual props and small maps to be thrown and the operations or instructions for the virtual props and small maps to be thrown (including, but not limited to: trigger operations, throwing operations, etc.) involved in this application are all obtained with full authorization.

[0023] In one embodiment, the solution provided by this application can be executed by any terminal device and / or server with data processing capabilities. For example, the server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services; the terminal device can be a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a desktop computer. The terminal device and the server can communicate via any wired or wireless method.

[0024] Furthermore, in the implementation of the technical solutions of this application, a database may be involved. The database may be a cloud database, a local database of a terminal device, a database coupled to a server, or an external database of a terminal device or server, but is not limited thereto. The database may store data involved in the technical solutions of this application, such as game-related data such as virtual scenes, human-computer interaction data, etc.

[0025] For example, the terminal device can interact with the player through a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface can be rendered and displayed on the terminal device's display screen, or can be presented in the form of a holographic projection. The graphical user interface can provide an interactive interface for human-computer interaction, such as the game's virtual scene and operating controls. The virtual scene can include virtual objects, including game characters controlled by the player based on the terminal device, virtual buildings, virtual items, virtual animals and plants in the game, etc. The operating controls can be buttons, input boxes, etc.

[0026] The terminal device can install and run the game client, which can be in the form of a web page, an application or a small program, or a cloud client, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the game client can display the virtual scene of the game through a graphical user interface (for example, the virtual scene can be stored locally or obtained from a server), and determine the content that needs to be displayed in the graphical user interface (for example, props to be thrown, a small map, the latest virtual scene, etc.) based on the game mechanism (for example, the virtual prop control method provided in this application can be stored locally or obtained from a server) and the received information (for example, the user's operation, the data sent by the server, the data stored locally, etc.). Of course, the content that needs to be displayed in the graphical user interface here can also be determined by the server and sent to the client. Finally, the game client can display the content that needs to be displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0027] It should be noted that the operations in the technical solution of this application, for example, the obtained user operations, can be operations performed by the player through fingers or other body parts, voice, or media such as mouse, keyboard and stylus, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0028] The trigger operations and other operations in this application can be specifically single-click, double-click, press, slide, voice, gesture, operation shortcut keys, drag to a specified area or floating touch gesture, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0029] The following is an introduction to various embodiments of the technical solution of this application:

[0030] It should be noted that all technical solutions in this application can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of this application, which will not be described one by one here.

[0031] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for throwing a virtual prop provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110: Displaying the virtual props to be thrown on the graphical user interface;

[0033] S120: In response to a triggering operation on a target virtual prop among the virtual props to be thrown, determining a target throwing point in a small map in a graphical user interface;

[0034] S130: Perform a throwing operation on the target virtual prop according to the target throwing point.

[0035] Regarding S110, in one embodiment, the virtual props to be thrown can be attribute adjustment props (which can change the appearance, character type and other attributes of the virtual character) or functional props (for example, providing the virtual character's attack power, defense power, vitality and other attributes with increased or decreased efficiency, triggering specific display effects such as fireworks, providing game services such as quick arrival at a designated location). This application does not impose any restrictions on the type, function, etc. of the virtual props to be thrown.

[0036] For example, the graphical user interface may display Figure 2A The virtual scene shown may include a virtual character corresponding to the player, for example, a virtual character controlled by the player based on the terminal device. The terminal device may display the virtual props to be thrown in response to a display operation for the virtual props to be thrown. The display operation may be a trigger operation of the player on a button in the virtual scene for controlling the display / hiding of the virtual props to be thrown; or the terminal device may automatically display the virtual props to be thrown. Figure 2A As shown by the black circle in .

[0037] For example, the terminal device can display the virtual props to be thrown based on the in-game QuickFlash Prompt in the graphical user interface. The in-game QuickFlash Prompt is a dynamic prompt mechanism that can convey information to the player through visual effects such as short highlights and animations, thereby quickly providing the player with the virtual props to be thrown without disrupting the player's game immersion.

[0038] For example, in combination with the above content, the terminal device can respond to the display operation of the virtual prop to be thrown, respond to the display of the virtual scene, or respond to the triggering of a task set in the game, and animate or highlight the virtual prop to be thrown with a duration equal to the display duration of the virtual prop.

[0039] For example, the terminal device can display the virtual props to be thrown based on the head-up display (HUD) in the graphical user interface. Head-up display is a display technology that projects information directly in front of the user's field of view and can continuously display information.

[0040] For example, in combination with the above content, the terminal device can continuously display the virtual props to be thrown on the graphical user interface in response to the display operation for the virtual props to be thrown, in response to the display of the virtual scene, or in response to the triggering of a task set in the game.

[0041] Exemplarily, the terminal device may display a prop adjustment mark at the first prop position of the virtual prop to be thrown; and according to the triggering operation on the prop adjustment mark, correspondingly display any at least part of the virtual prop to be thrown.

[0042] For example, the prop adjustment flag can be as follows Figure 2A As shown in the “<” and ">” in the figure, the terminal device can display the part of the virtual props to be thrown that is located in front of the currently displayed virtual props in response to the player's trigger operation on “<”; and can display the part of the virtual props to be thrown that is located behind the currently displayed virtual props in response to the player's trigger operation on ">”.

[0043] Among them, the first prop position can be a position adjacent to the right or left of the position where the virtual prop to be thrown is displayed. This application does not limit the first prop position, the shape of the prop adjustment mark, etc.

[0044] For example, the terminal device may display a prompt for determining a target throwing point at the second item position of the virtual item to be thrown, the prompt for triggering the target virtual item and determining the target throwing point. Specifically, the terminal device may display the prompt when the user first uses the virtual item to be thrown, but is not limited thereto.

[0045] For example, the operation method prompt information can be as follows Figure 2B The text above the item to be thrown says "Can be dragged to a selected point on the map".

[0046] Among them, the second prop position can be a position above or below the displayed position of the virtual prop to be thrown. This application does not limit the specific content of the second prop position, operation method prompt information, etc.

[0047] During the above process, the virtual props to be thrown can be displayed through a quick flash image within the game, thereby quickly providing the player with the virtual props to be thrown while ensuring the player's game immersion. In addition, the virtual props to be thrown can also be displayed through a heads-up display, making it easy for users to obtain the virtual props to be thrown at any time, improving user convenience.

[0048] Furthermore, by displaying a prop adjustment mark and responding to an operation on the prop adjustment mark, any at least part of the virtual props to be thrown can be adjusted in real time, thereby providing the user with more game options and improving the user experience.

[0049] Furthermore, the user can be prompted with operation instructions by displaying operation method prompts, which makes it easier for the user to operate and improves the success rate of human-computer interaction.

[0050] Here is an introduction to the mini-map:

[0051] In one embodiment, the display of the mini-map may include any of the following situations, but is not limited to:

[0052] In scenario 1, the terminal device may simultaneously display the mini-map and the virtual props to be thrown, that is, before obtaining and responding to a trigger operation for a target virtual prop among the virtual props to be thrown, the terminal device may display the mini-map and the virtual props to be thrown.

[0053] In scenario two, the terminal device may display a minimap and then the virtual item to be thrown. For example, the terminal device may display the minimap after obtaining the target virtual item selected by the user. Specifically, the terminal device may display the minimap on the graphical user interface in response to a triggering operation for the target virtual item among the virtual items to be thrown.

[0054] For example, the terminal device can display a small map based on a quick flash map or a head-up display. The display method of the small map on the terminal device can refer to the display method of throwing virtual props, and this application will not go into details here.

[0055] For example, Figure 2A As shown, the terminal device can display a small map in the upper right corner of the graphical user interface.

[0056] For example, the mini-map can be Figure 2C As shown on the left, a direction indicator may be included to identify the direction in the small map. The small map may be a virtual map corresponding to the virtual scene.

[0057] In addition, the mini-map can also include Figure 2C The throwing point list shown on the right. The throwing point list may include at least one throwing point to be selected. For example, the throwing point list includes three throwing points to be selected: throwing point 1, throwing point 2, and throwing point 3.

[0058] The throwing point in the small map (i.e., the throwing point to be selected, for example, the target throwing point in the subsequent embodiments) can be any point in the small map, corresponding to a certain position in the virtual scene.

[0059] Assuming that the small map contains a throwing point list, the throwing point in the small map can be any candidate throwing point in the throwing point list.

[0060] Exemplarily, the mini-map includes at least one of the following: weather information of each to-be-selected throwing point, geographic location data of each to-be-selected throwing point, and location information of each virtual object.

[0061] The weather information may include at least one of the following, but is not limited to: temperature and humidity, wind direction and speed, light (sunrise time, sunset time, day length), air pressure, visibility, and rain and snow conditions.

[0062] The geographic location data of the throwing point to be selected may include at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto: the coordinates of the throwing point to be selected (the coordinates in the mini-map, the coordinates in the virtual scene), and the relative position (the position relative to a certain virtual object).

[0063] The location information of the virtual object may include at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto: the coordinates of the virtual object (the coordinates in the mini-map, the coordinates in the virtual scene), and the relative position (the position relative to a certain virtual object).

[0064] For example, the terminal device may display the geographic location data of the to-be-selected throwing point and the location information of the virtual object in the form of an identifier on the mini-map. Assuming that the mini-map is a small map, the terminal device may display the identifier of the to-be-selected throwing point or the virtual object at the corresponding position of the to-be-selected throwing point or the virtual object in the mini-map. The identifier may be a name or an icon, but is not limited thereto.

[0065] For example, the terminal device can directly display the geographic location data of the to-be-selected throwing point, the location information of the virtual object, or the weather information in any area of ​​the mini-map.

[0066] In addition, the terminal device can display the weather information of each of the above-mentioned throwing points to be selected, the geographic location data of each of the throwing points to be selected, and the location information of each virtual object under specific circumstances. For example, in response to the target virtual prop being stopped at the second position in the minimap for a period longer than the second preset time, the terminal device can highlight the weather information and geographic location data of the throwing points involved in the second preset range at the second position, as well as the location information of the virtual objects involved (for example, by highlighting, thickening lines, etc.). Among them, this application will introduce the display of the target virtual prop in the minimap in subsequent embodiments.

[0067] That is to say, the terminal device can display the above data in response to detecting that the target virtual prop is hovering on the mini-map, so that the user can view the corresponding information at any time, further improving the user experience and operational convenience.

[0068] For example, the terminal device can display the identifier, name and weather conditions of each virtual object at the current time in the small map. Figure 2EAs shown, the upper right portion of the minimap can display that the current weather is sunny and that sunset will occur after 7:30 AM; the "1," "2," and "3" on the left side of the minimap can identify virtual objects, such as, but not limited to, evacuation points, escape points, exits, safe areas, and virtual characters in a virtual scene; the rectangular block in the upper center portion of the minimap can identify virtual objects, such as, but not limited to, treasure chests in a game. In addition, the terminal device can use the word "road" to describe the road represented by the straight line in the minimap, and use the word "place name 1" to describe the location of the building represented by the house-shaped graphic in the minimap.

[0069] Exemplarily, the terminal device may display a screen adjustment mark at a preset screen position of the mini-map; and adjust the current screen content of the mini-map in response to a triggering operation on the screen adjustment mark.

[0070] Among them, adjusting the current screen content of the minimap includes any of the following, but is not limited to: enlarging the current screen content of the minimap; reducing the current screen content of the minimap; updating the current screen content of the minimap.

[0071] For example, the terminal device may respond to a triggering operation on the screen adjustment identifier and display at least a portion of the entire screen content of the mini-map according to the triggering operation on the screen adjustment identifier.

[0072] For example, the picture adjustment mark is as follows Figure 2A As shown by the pentagon and line in the figure, the pentagon corresponds to the slider and the line corresponds to the slide bar. In response to a leftward movement of the slider in the image adjustment indicator, the terminal device can display the portion of the mini-map's entire image content to the left of the current image content; and in response to a rightward movement of the slider in the image adjustment indicator, the terminal device can display the portion of the mini-map's entire image content to the right of the current image content.

[0073] In the above embodiment, a mini-map can be displayed so that the target throwing point can be selected in the mini-map, thereby avoiding relying on the three-dimensional user interface guide line to throw virtual props, which leads to low throwing accuracy and high throwing difficulty. The operation steps can be simplified, the operation difficulty can be reduced and the interaction efficiency can be improved.

[0074] Furthermore, the display content and display status of the mini-map can be adjusted in real time by operating the screen adjustment mark, so that the displayed content meets the player's needs and improves the player experience.

[0075] Furthermore, the geographic location data and weather information of the throwing point to be selected and the location information of the virtual object can be displayed on a small map, so that users can view the corresponding information at any time, further improving the experience and convenience of operation.

[0076] Regarding S120, in one embodiment, the terminal device may, in response to a trigger operation for a target virtual operation, determine a target throwing point on the minimap based on the item type of the target virtual item. For example, item types correspond to throwing points, and a virtual item of one item type may correspond to at least one throwing point. The terminal device may determine the throwing point corresponding to the item type of the target virtual item as the target throwing point.

[0077] In another embodiment, the terminal device may determine the target throwing point in the mini-map by moving the target virtual prop on the mini-map according to a triggering operation for the target virtual operation.

[0078] Specifically, the terminal device may execute S120 in any of the following ways, but is not limited thereto:

[0079] Method 1: The terminal device can respond to a trigger operation on a target virtual prop among the virtual props to be thrown, and adjust the current position of the target virtual prop on the minimap in real time according to the trigger operation; thereafter, it can respond to an end control instruction of the trigger operation and determine the target position as the target throwing point; wherein the target position represents the position corresponding to the current position when the end control instruction of the trigger operation is obtained.

[0080] Exemplarily, the trigger operation includes any of the following: a drag and slide operation, a floating touch gesture, and a voice operation. Accordingly, the end control instruction is an instruction corresponding to the end of the trigger operation, which can be an instruction determined by the terminal device when the trigger operation ends.

[0081] The voice content corresponding to the voice operation may instruct to move the target virtual item to a certain location on the mini-map. For example, the voice content may be "Please move the target virtual item to the escape point on the mini-map."

[0082] Exemplarily, the real-time adjustment of the current position of the target virtual item on the mini-map according to the trigger operation may include: controlling the current position of the target virtual item on the mini-map to change in real time following the trigger operation.

[0083] For example, Figure 2D and 2EAs shown, a user can directly drag a target virtual prop from the displayed virtual props to be thrown onto the minimap using a terminal device. During this process, the terminal device can control the position of the target virtual prop on the minimap to change in real time following the triggering operation, that is, the target virtual prop is controlled to move in real time within the graphical user interface following the dragging operation. Afterwards, the terminal device can trigger the target virtual prop to stop moving in response to the dragging operation ending at a certain position on the minimap, and determine the position where the movement stopped as the target throwing point. In other words, the user can use the terminal device to drag the selected virtual prop to the selected throwing point on the minimap.

[0084] Method 2: The terminal device can respond to a trigger operation on a target virtual prop among the virtual props to be thrown, and control the target virtual prop to automatically slide on the minimap; then, in response to a stop sliding instruction corresponding to the target virtual prop automatically sliding on the minimap, it triggers the stop control of the target virtual prop sliding on the minimap, and determines the position where the target virtual prop stops sliding in the minimap as the target throwing point.

[0085] Among them, the stop sliding instruction can be any of the following: a click operation (for example, a single click, double click, etc. at any position in the graphical user interface, a single click, double click, etc. on the minimap or target throwing props), a floating touch gesture, and a voice operation.

[0086] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned controlling the target virtual prop to automatically slide on the mini-map includes: controlling the target virtual prop to automatically slide to a preset throwing position in the mini-map.

[0087] The preset throwing location includes any of the following: the current location of the enemy virtual character, the current location of the teammate virtual character, or an escape point or a preset location in the virtual scene, but is not limited thereto.

[0088] Specifically, the target virtual prop can be controlled to automatically slide to each position of the preset throwing position in the small map in a predetermined order. Specifically, the target virtual prop can be controlled to automatically slide to each position of the preset throwing position in the small map in a predetermined order in a circular manner.

[0089] Among them, the preset order may include at least one round of order corresponding to each position in the preset throwing position. For example, assuming that the preset throwing positions include position 1, position 2 and position 3, the corresponding sliding order of the target virtual prop is position 1, position 2, position 3; then, if the preset order can be: position 1, position 2, position 3 (including 1 round of order), the target virtual prop can be controlled to automatically slide to position 1, position 2, position 3 in the small map in turn, and stop sliding after sliding to position 3; or, if the preset order can be: position 1, position 2, position 3, position 1, position 2, position 3 (including 2 rounds of order), the target virtual prop can be controlled to automatically slide to position 1, position 2, position 3, position 1, position 2, position 3 in the small map in turn, and stop sliding after sliding to position 3 for the second time.

[0090] For example, Figure 2D As shown, the user can trigger the target virtual prop in the virtual prop to be thrown based on the terminal device, for example, a click operation; then, the terminal device can obtain and respond to the trigger operation, control the target virtual prop to automatically move to the minimap, or directly display it on the minimap; then, the terminal device can control the target virtual prop to automatically move on the minimap, specifically, it can control the target virtual prop to move at each preset throwing position in the minimap (for example, slide to each position in a preset order in a loop); then, the user can stop sliding the target virtual prop moving on the minimap based on the terminal device, for example, click on the moving target virtual prop, trigger any position in the graphical user interface, or select the target virtual prop by voice operation (the voice selection operation is used to indicate the trigger to stop controlling the target virtual prop to move on the minimap, for example, the voice content of the voice selection operation can be "stop moving" or "select this position"); then, the terminal device can obtain and respond to the stop sliding instruction, trigger the target virtual prop to stop moving on the minimap, and determine the position where the movement stops as the target throwing point. That is to say, the user only needs to perform two selection operations (the first is to select the target virtual prop, and the second is to determine the position where the target virtual prop stops moving in the small map) to select the target throwing point.

[0091] In one embodiment, the terminal device may increase the map display range of the displayed mini-map in response to the target virtual item sliding onto the mini-map. Accordingly, the terminal device may control the mini-map's map display range to return to the range before the increase in the corresponding map display range in response to determining the target throwing point or in response to the target virtual item not sliding onto the mini-map.

[0092] The map display range corresponds to the scene range of the virtual scene. A larger map display range can correspond to more scene ranges of the virtual scene, that is, contain more scene contents of the virtual scene.

[0093] For example, Figure 2D and Figure 2E As shown, when the target virtual prop has not slid onto the small map, the terminal device can collapse the small map, that is, display a small map with a smaller map display range; when the target virtual prop slides onto the small map, the terminal device can expand the small map, that is, display a small map with a larger map display range.

[0094] In addition, the terminal device can also increase the size of the displayed mini-map in response to the target virtual prop sliding to the mini-map. The screen content in the larger mini-map is clearer than the screen content in the smaller mini-map, and the size of each virtual object is larger.

[0095] In one embodiment, in response to the target virtual item staying at a first position in the mini-map for a time period longer than a first preset time period, the terminal device may zoom in and display a map image within a first preset range at the first position.

[0096] For example, assuming that the target virtual prop stays at position 1 for longer than the first preset time during its movement on the minimap, the terminal device can enlarge and display the image within 1 meter (corresponding to the distance in the virtual scene) at position 1, that is, it can partially enlarge the image near the stopping / hovering point, so that players can be more aware of the environmental conditions, improve the experience and convenience of operation.

[0097] In the above process, the user can select the target throwing point on the minimap by triggering the virtual props. For example, it can be determined according to the prop type of the virtual props or the movement of the virtual props on the minimap. Therefore, the operation is more convenient and accurate, which can reduce the difficulty of throwing and increase the fun of throwing. Moreover, since the target throwing point is determined in the minimap, there is no restriction on the throwing position and throwing direction (corresponding to the virtual scene) corresponding to the throwing point, and accurate throwing can be achieved across indoors and outdoors.

[0098] Furthermore, users can directly drag virtual props onto the mini-map or virtual props can automatically move on the mini-map, thereby enriching the human-computer interaction mode and providing more intelligent and automated interaction.

[0099] Furthermore, when the virtual props move on the minimap, the minimap is larger in size and / or has a larger display range, and the corresponding position of the virtual props can be partially enlarged and displayed according to the hovering of the virtual props on the minimap, which is convenient for users to view and select, and can further improve the user experience.

[0100] With respect to S130 , in one embodiment, the terminal device may display the target virtual prop to be thrown and / or provide feedback on the throwing effect of the target virtual prop at a position corresponding to the target throwing point in the virtual scene.

[0101] Exemplarily, after determining the target throwing point, the terminal device can determine the throwing path and the throwing effect of the target virtual prop thrown at the position corresponding to the target throwing point in the virtual scene according to the current position of the player's corresponding virtual character in the virtual scene and the position corresponding to the target throwing point in the virtual scene (the throwing effect can be determined based on the prop type and function of the target virtual prop, for example, a fireworks effect, a lethal effect); then, the terminal device can control the target virtual prop to move along the throwing path in the graphical user interface to the position corresponding to the target throwing point in the virtual scene, and display the thrown target virtual prop and / or feedback the throwing effect of the target virtual prop at this position.
