[0058] Next, as Figure 1 Taking an electronic device 1000 as an example, various embodiments of the game information processing method are explained.

[0059] <First Embodiment>

[0060] Figure 2 A game information processing method according to some embodiments is shown, which may include the following steps S210 to S230:

[0061] Step S210: Display the first stage of the virtual game in the user's game interface, showing multiple virtual characters participating in the virtual game; wherein, the first stage is used to identify the target virtual character acting in the virtual game with a set identity, and the multiple virtual characters include the user's first virtual character.

[0062] In this embodiment, a user is a player in the game who can control a first virtual character to join a virtual match. A virtual match here generally refers to multiple virtual characters operating within one or more game scenarios. These activities can include multiple virtual characters cooperating, performing tasks, or battling each other.

[0063] In this embodiment, the entry into the first stage of the virtual match is triggered when the game meets certain conditions, such as the number of virtual characters participating in the virtual match reaching a first set number, the game progressing for a set time, or the initiator of the virtual match deciding to start the virtual match.

[0064] In this embodiment, the virtual game has multiple stages. The first stage is the selection of a target virtual character from multiple virtual characters. The second stage is the joining of the attacking team to which the target virtual character belongs. The third stage is the launching of attacks by each attacking team according to their respective attack routes. The target virtual character can be designated as the manager, owner, or captain of the attacking team, meaning the target virtual character has the authority to manage the attacking team it belongs to.

[0065] Step S220: In the first stage, a first input is received from the first virtual character to select a candidate character from the candidate group, and the target virtual character determined based on the first input of multiple virtual characters selecting a candidate character from the candidate group is displayed; wherein, the candidate group consists of at least some of the multiple virtual characters.

[0066] In this embodiment, the candidate group can be determined from multiple virtual characters after they enter. The candidate group is a selection of virtual characters that meet the candidate conditions from multiple virtual characters. These candidate conditions include, for example, the virtual character's combat power reaching a set combat power value, the virtual character's number of honors reaching a second set number, and the virtual character's game time reaching a set time.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first input can be the first virtual character selecting an option corresponding to a candidate character. Selecting an option for a candidate character can be done by triggering a selection control corresponding to the candidate character, or by entering specific information corresponding to the candidate character in a set input box. The specific information may be, for example, the candidate character's name or a specific honorary title.

[0068] In this embodiment, the determined target virtual character is displayed during a specific time period in the first stage, such as within 2 minutes before the end of the first stage, within 5 minutes before the end of the first stage, or within 10 minutes before the end of the first stage.

[0069] Step S230: Display multiple virtual characters entering the second stage of the virtual game on the game interface, and match the attack route in the virtual game for the target virtual character determined in the first stage.

[0070] In this embodiment, the virtual game can pre-set attack routes, which can be multiple, and there can be multiple target virtual characters, with each target virtual character corresponding to an attack route.

[0071] The game information processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention solves the problems of low efficiency in team formation and the fact that the team's attack route is limited by the team leader's decision, which greatly increases the pre-battle preparation time. Based on this method, a target virtual character is selected from the candidate group in the first stage of the virtual game. The target virtual character is matched with an attack route in the virtual game, allowing other virtual characters to team up with the target virtual character and attack using the attack route matched to the target virtual character. This effectively improves the efficiency of team formation and shortens the pre-battle preparation time by matching attack routes to the selected target virtual character, thus enhancing the user's gaming experience.

[0072] <Second Embodiment>

[0073] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate users to quickly select candidate characters and further enhance the user's gaming experience, in the first stage, the game interface displays the selection options for each candidate character in the corresponding candidate group, so that users can select a candidate character based on the character information provided by the selection options.

[0074] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, the method further includes the following step S310 before step S220:

[0075] Step S310: In the first stage, the selection options for each candidate character in the corresponding candidate group are displayed on the game interface; wherein, the candidate group is determined based on the character attributes of multiple virtual characters, the candidate group is a subset of virtual characters among multiple virtual characters, and the selection options include the character information and selection controls of the corresponding candidate character.

[0076] In this embodiment, the virtual characters in the candidate group can be either virtual characters that reach a set attribute value in the first character attribute among multiple virtual characters, or virtual characters that rank high in the second character attribute among multiple virtual characters. The candidate group can be the top 3 virtual characters in terms of attribute value, or the top 5 virtual characters in terms of attribute value, etc. The character attributes here are generally the virtual character's combat power, health, or character level, etc.

[0077] Based on this, step S220 may include the following step S2201:

[0078] Step S2201: Receive the first input from the first virtual character to select a candidate character by triggering the selection control.

[0079] In this embodiment, with Figure 3 Taking the game interface shown as an example, users can view the page for selecting a target virtual character in the first stage of a virtual match. This page displays options for each candidate character in the candidate group, namely virtual character A through virtual character D. Specifically, for virtual character A, the page displays information about virtual character A with a combat power of 600 and the character name "A," along with a selection control K1 for selecting virtual character A as the target virtual character. For virtual character B, the page displays information about virtual character B with a combat power of 1000 and the character name "B," along with a selection control K2 for selecting virtual character B as the target virtual character. For virtual character C, the page displays information about virtual character C with a combat power of 800 and the character name "C," along with a selection control K3 for selecting virtual character C as the target virtual character. For virtual character D, the page displays information about virtual character D with a combat power of 500 and the character name "D," along with a selection control K4 for selecting virtual character D as the target virtual character. The game interface can also display the number of times multiple virtual characters have selected candidate characters from the candidate group, i.e., virtual character A was selected 5 times, virtual character B was selected 3 times, and virtual character C was selected 2 times.

[0080] The game information processing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention solves the problems in the prior art where it is difficult for users to obtain the role information of candidate characters in the candidate group and the selection of candidate characters is cumbersome. Based on the method of this embodiment, users can select a candidate character by viewing the selection options of each candidate character in the first stage, so that users can quickly select a candidate character and further improve the user's game experience.

[0081] <Third Embodiment>

[0082] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate users to quickly select a target virtual character to apply to join in the second stage of the virtual game, there are at least two target virtual characters. The game interface can display the candidate results of at least two target virtual characters and the corresponding attack routes of at least two target virtual characters.

[0083] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, after step S230, the method further includes the following step S410:

[0084] In step S410, in the second stage, the game interface displays the candidate results of multiple virtual characters selecting candidate characters from the candidate group, and determines the attack route of each target virtual character based on the priority of each target virtual character reflected in the candidate results; wherein, the attack routes corresponding to different target virtual characters are different at least in the set first route attribute.

[0085] In some examples, multiple attack routes are configured with a matching order. The attack route matched to each target virtual character is determined based on the priority and matching order of each target virtual character. For example, if the multiple attack routes are attack route Z1-attack route Z3, and the matching order is attack route Z1-attack route Z2-attack route Z3, the priority of each target virtual character is determined by matching attack routes in descending order of combat power. If the target virtual characters, from highest to lowest combat power, are virtual character F-virtual character H, then virtual character F will match attack route Z1, virtual character G will match attack route Z2, and virtual character H will match attack route Z3.

[0086] In this embodiment, with Figure 4 Taking the game interface shown as an example, in the second stage of the virtual match, the user views the election announcement page. This game interface displays the election announcement page, which shows the candidate results. The candidate results are virtual characters A through C as the target virtual characters. Virtual character A is matched with attack route L1, virtual character B with attack route L2, and virtual character C with attack route L3.

[0087] In some embodiments, in order to improve the rationality of the attack routes matched for each target virtual character, the first route attribute includes the number of attack strongholds indicating the attack in the attack route, the amount of resources obtained after the attack strongholds indicating the attack in the attack route are occupied, and the attribute strength set for the attack strongholds indicating the attack in the attack route.

[0088] In this embodiment, with Figure 4 Taking the game interface shown as an example, virtual character A has a higher priority than virtual character B. Virtual character A is matched with attack route L1, while virtual character B is matched with attack route L2. Attack route L1 indicates the attack points G1-G4, while attack route L2 indicates the attack points G1 and G5. For example, if virtual character A has a higher priority than virtual character B, the resources gained from capturing the first attack point G2 are greater than those gained from capturing the second attack point G5. Similarly, if virtual character A has a higher priority than virtual character B, the attribute strength set for the first attack point G2 is greater than that set for the second attack point G5. Here, attribute strength generally refers to the defense or health of the attack point, etc.

[0089] According to the third embodiment of the game information processing method of the present invention, the problem that users have difficulty obtaining candidate results and the attack route of target virtual characters in the prior art is solved. Based on the method of this embodiment, users can quickly determine the team they need to join in the second stage through the displayed election announcement page, so as to facilitate users to form a team quickly and shorten the time of pre-match preparation.

[0090] <Fourth Embodiment>

[0091] In this embodiment, in order to provide the first virtual character with the attack routes matched by each target virtual character after the target virtual character is selected, at least two target virtual characters may include a second virtual character and a third virtual character. The first virtual character can view the first attack route of the second virtual character or the second attack route of the third virtual character, so that the first virtual character can select a suitable team according to the attack routes matched by each target virtual character, thereby achieving the purpose of the first virtual character quickly forming a team.

[0092] In these embodiments, relative to the third embodiment described above, the method further includes the following steps S510 and S520:

[0093] Step S510: In the second stage, the system receives a second input from the first virtual character, which triggers the first preview control to execute a preview of a first attack route matched with the second virtual character, and displays the first route information of the first attack route based on the second input; wherein, the first route information includes the first attack point configured in the virtual game for the first attack route.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second input may be an option for the first virtual character to select a first attack route matched by the second virtual character. The option to select the first attack route matched by the second virtual character may be by triggering a first preview control corresponding to the second virtual character, or by entering specific information corresponding to the second virtual character in a set input box. The specific information may be, for example, the character name or a specific honorary title of the second virtual character.

[0095] In this embodiment, with Figure 4 Taking the game interface shown as an example, when the user clicks the first preview control K5 for virtual character A, virtual character A becomes the second virtual character. Subsequently, the user's game interface changes... Figure 4 The game interface is switched to Figure 5 The game interface, Figure 5 The game interface shows that the virtual character A belongs to team X, with a total combat power of 5000 and a team size limit of 10. Eight new members have joined the team. The captain of team X is virtual character A. The game interface also shows that attack route L1 is the first attack route. The first route information for the first attack route is that attack route L1 is configured with first attack strongholds G1-G4 in the virtual match. The virtual character of team X can attack first attack strongholds G1-G2-G3 in sequence, or vice versa.

[0096] Step S520: Receive a third input from the first virtual character, which triggers the second preview control to execute a preview of a second attack route matched with a third virtual character. Based on the third input, display the second route information of the second attack route. The second route information includes the second attack points configured in the virtual game for the second attack route. At least some of the attack points in the first and second attack points have different geographical locations in the virtual game.

[0097] In this embodiment, the third input can be the option for the first virtual character to select the second attack route matched by the third virtual character. The option to select the second attack route matched by the third virtual character can be by triggering the second preview control corresponding to the third virtual character, or by entering specific information corresponding to the third virtual character in the set input box. The specific information is, for example, the character name or specific honorary title of the third virtual character.

[0098] In this embodiment, with Figure 4 Taking the game interface shown as an example, when the user clicks the first preview control K5 for virtual character A, virtual character A becomes the second virtual character. Subsequently, the user's game interface changes... Figure 4 The game interface is switched to Figure 5 The game interface, Figure 5 The game interface displays that virtual character A is in team X, with a total combat power of 5000. The team's maximum number of members is 10, and 8 members have joined. Virtual character A is the captain of team X. The game interface also shows that attack route L1 is the first attack route. When the user wants to view the second attack route matched with virtual character B, the user clicks... Figure 4 The control for joining a team in the game interface is... Figure 5 The game interface is switched to Figure 4 In the game interface, users can... Figure 4 Clicking the second preview control K6 of virtual character B in the game interface means that virtual character B is the third virtual character. Subsequently, the user can view the second route information corresponding to the second attack route in the game interface.

[0099] In this embodiment, with Figure 6 Taking the game map shown as an example, the first attack route can correspond to the first attack points G1, G2, G3, and G4, while the second attack route can correspond to the first attack points G1 and G5. Furthermore, the first attack points G2, G3, G4, and G5 each correspond to different geographical locations on the game map set in the virtual match. In other words, the team of virtual character A and the team of virtual character B need to capture different attack points, which reduces the overlap in the gaming experience for each user participating in the virtual match.

[0100] In this embodiment, to further enhance the interaction between the user and the virtual game, the team containing the target virtual character also needs to capture checkpoints. The first route information also includes first checkpoints set between the first attack checkpoints, with the first checkpoints positioned between two indicated first attack checkpoints. The second route information also includes second checkpoints set between the second attack checkpoints, with the second checkpoints positioned between two indicated second attack checkpoints. Figure 6 Taking the game map shown as an example, the game map is also configured with the first level stronghold N3-N5. The first level stronghold N3 and the first level stronghold N4 are located between the first attack stronghold G1 and the first attack stronghold G2, and the first level stronghold N5 is located between the first attack stronghold G2 and the first attack stronghold G3.

[0101] <Fifth Embodiment>

[0102] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the memory consumption generated by the virtual game, the multiple virtual characters may include a fourth virtual character. The fourth virtual character and the first virtual character belong to the same faction in the virtual game, and the fourth virtual character and the first virtual character are prohibited from attacking each other in the virtual game.

[0103] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, the method may include the following step S610:

[0104] In step S610, in the second phase, in response to the attack instruction that the first virtual character launches an attack on the fourth virtual character, it is displayed that the first virtual character is prohibited from launching an attack on the fourth virtual character.

[0105] In this embodiment, during the first phase of the virtual match or before the virtual match begins, the first virtual character can attack the fourth virtual character under the user's instruction. In the second phase of the virtual match, the user instructs the first virtual character to attack the fourth virtual character, and the user's game interface can display a message indicating that the first virtual character is prohibited from attacking the fourth virtual character.

[0106] <Sixth Embodiment>

[0107] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the management of the attacking team by the user who is the team leader, the multiple virtual characters may include a fifth virtual character. The fifth virtual character and the first virtual character belong to the same faction in the virtual game. When the fifth virtual character applies to join the team of the first virtual character, the first virtual character can instruct the fifth virtual character whether to join the team.

[0108] In these embodiments, relative to the fourth embodiment described above, when the first virtual character has a set identity, the method may include the following steps S710 to S730:

[0109] Step S710: Display the first virtual character configuration attack team; wherein, the virtual characters in the attack team attack along the attack route.

[0110] In this embodiment, other virtual characters can also participate in virtual matches. These other virtual characters generally refer to virtual characters that are in opposing camps with multiple virtual characters.
