Detailed Implementation

[0014] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Most related technologies focus on predicting single matches. Specifically, the system provides a prediction interface for upcoming matches. For example, in a match between Team A and Team B, the prediction interface displays two options: 'Team A wins' and 'Team B wins.' Users can predict the outcome of the match by clicking or checking the options. For events with multiple matches, the system provides access to the prediction interface for each match in chronological order, requiring users to make selections for each match.

[0016] This method of prediction has only one dimension and is cumbersome to operate, affecting the participation rate in the competition. Based on this, the present invention provides an interactive control method, device and electronic device for games, which can be applied to various game competitions.

[0017] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game interaction control method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game interaction control method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0018] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of the game's interactive control methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0019] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0020] In one possible implementation, this invention provides an interactive control method for a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interactive system.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the interactive control method of this game includes the following steps: Step S102: Display the schedule information of the target event in the graphical user interface. The schedule information is used to display at least the multiple match games included in the target event. The match games include the first round of match games and at least one round of other match games. The first round of match games has participating teams, while the other match games do not have participating teams. The first round of matches may include one or more matches, with each first round match involving at least two participating teams. The first round matches are linked to other matchups, for example, the winning team in the first round advances to the semifinals of another matchup, and the losing team in the first round advances to the loser's bracket of another matchup.

[0022] Figure 2 This is an example of the tournament schedule. The first round of matches includes two games: one between Team A and Team B, and another between Team C and Team D. Other matches include the semifinals, the finals, and the loser's bracket.

[0023] Step S104: In response to the prediction operation for the game results of at least some of the game matches, determine the prediction sub-results corresponding to the game matches. One approach allows for the prediction of the results of all matches in a tournament, for example, predicting the results of each first-round match before predicting the results of other matches. Alternatively, it allows for the prediction of the results of only some matches in a tournament, for example, predicting the results of each first-round match before predicting only the semi-final and final matches, and not predicting the results of the loser's bracket matches.

[0024] In practice, the aforementioned prediction operation can be executed by triggering the participating teams or related controls. For example, the triggered participating team is the team predicted to win a match. The prediction sub-results corresponding to the match include both the winning and losing teams in that match.

[0025] Step S106: Based on the prediction sub-results, generate the first prediction result for the target event.

[0026] The system can generate the first prediction result of the target event based on the prediction sub-results corresponding to some of the event matches. For example, it can generate the first prediction result of the target event based on the prediction sub-results of the final matches. Alternatively, it can generate the first prediction result of the target event based on the prediction sub-results corresponding to all the event matches. For example, it can calculate the scores of the participating teams based on the prediction sub-results corresponding to the event matches according to the predicted event rules, and generate the first prediction result of the target event based on the number of scores.

[0027] The first prediction for the target event can include the rankings of all or some of the participating teams, or it can include only the first prediction for a specific position, such as the team that wins the championship, the team that wins the runner-up, etc.

[0028] The interactive control method of the above game provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device; displays the schedule information of the target event on the graphical user interface, the schedule information is used to display at least multiple matches included in the target event, the matches include the first round of matches and at least one round of other matches, the first round of matches has participating teams, and the other matches do not have participating teams; responds to the prediction operation for the match results of at least some of the matches, determines the prediction sub-results corresponding to the matches; and generates the first prediction result of the target event based on the prediction sub-results.

[0029] In this method, users can familiarize themselves with the overall event process through the schedule information, and then make predictions for each game, automatically generating prediction results for the entire event. This method enriches the prediction dimensions and simplifies the number of prediction operations, which helps to improve event participation.

[0030] In one implementation, in response to a prediction operation for the result of the first round of matches, the predicted sub-results of the first round of matches are obtained; based on the predicted sub-results of the first round of matches, the participating teams are controlled to set up other matches in the subsequent rounds of matches; in response to a prediction operation for the result of other matches, the predicted sub-results of other matches are obtained.

[0031] Once the predictions for the first round of matches are completed, the predicted sub-results for the first round of matches are obtained. The matchups for other matches are then determined based on these predicted sub-results. Therefore, the participating teams for other matches are set based on the matchups for those matches. It should be noted that other matches may include one round or multiple rounds. They are usually ordered by round, with the predicted sub-results for the earlier rounds being predicted first, which then determines the matchups for the later rounds, and finally, the predicted sub-results for the later rounds are predicted.

[0032] exist Figure 3 In the example, the first round of the tournament consists of two matches: a match between team A and team B, where the predicted sub-result is a win for team A; and a match between team C and team D, where the predicted sub-result is a win for team C. The winning team is placed in the semifinals of another tournament, while the losing team is placed in the losers' bracket of another tournament.

[0033] Furthermore, there is a promotion relationship between the first round matches and other matches; this promotion relationship is used to indicate the other matches that a team that predicts a winning sub-result in the first round will participate in, and the other matches that a team that predicts a losing sub-result in the first round will participate in, or the team that predicts a losing sub-result will be eliminated.

[0034] For the first participating team that is predicted to win the first round of matches, based on the advancement relationship of the first round of matches, determine the next advancement match from other matches in the first round of matches; control the first participating team to be set in the advancement match.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 3 In the first round of the competition, the first participating teams predicted to win are Team A and Team C. The advancement relationship of the first round of the competition is that the winning participating teams enter the semi-finals, and the losing participating teams enter the loser's bracket. Therefore, Team A and Team C are set to play in the semi-finals, and Team B and Team D are set to play in the loser's bracket.

[0036] When other tournament matches also have multiple rounds, there are also advancement relationships between these multiple rounds of other tournament matches, indicating the next round of other tournament matches that the team that predicts the winning sub-result will participate in, and the next round of other tournament matches that the team that predicts the losing sub-result will participate in.

[0037] like Figure 4 In the semi-finals, the team predicted to win is Team A, and based on the advancement relationship, Team A advances to the finals. In the losers' bracket, the team predicted to win is Team B, and Team B advances to the next match in the losers' bracket.

[0038] Furthermore, for the second participating team whose predicted sub-result is a loss in the first round of matches, based on the advancement relationship of the first round of matches, determine whether there are subsequent matches targeting the second participating team in other matches; if so, control the second participating team to be set in the subsequent matches of the second participating team.

[0039] For the second participating team whose predicted outcome is unsuccessful, they may be eliminated or continue to participate in subsequent matches, depending on the tournament's progression. For example, ... Figure 4 In the semi-finals, the team predicted to lose is team C, and team C will advance to the next match in the loser's bracket; in the loser's bracket, the team predicted to lose is team D, and team D will be eliminated.

[0040] like Figure 5 In the example, in the semi-final match, the team predicted to win is team A, and in the next match of the loser's bracket, the team predicted to win is team B. Therefore, team A and team B advance to the final match.

[0041] In the above method, when predicting the sub-results of a match, the participating teams for the next match are determined based on the advancement relationship between the matches. Users can predict the sub-results of each match sequentially based on the advancement relationship until the last match. Users can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the match process during the prediction process, and predict the sub-results of the matches from the overall perspective of the match process, which enriches the prediction dimensions and simplifies the number of prediction operations, thus improving the participation rate in the match.

[0042] In actual implementation, participating teams are associated with selection controls; in response to the selection operation of the selection control, the participating team associated with the selection control corresponding to the selection operation is determined as the participating team whose predicted sub-result is the winner in the game.

[0043] Selection operations on a selection control can include clicking, double-clicking, long-pressing, etc.; for example, clicking a selection control will associate the selected control with the team whose predicted outcome in the match is the winning team. Figure 2 In example 3, clicking the selection control associated with participating team A will predict that participating team A will win the sub-result; clicking the selection control associated with participating team C will predict that participating team C will win the sub-result.

[0044] The above method, which uses a selection control to predict the outcome of a game, is convenient, quick, and improves the efficiency of the prediction operation.

[0045] In one implementation, after the prediction sub-results for each match are generated, a first prediction result for the target match, generated based on these sub-results, is displayed. This first prediction result includes the ranking of the participating teams' scores in the target match. The scores of the participating teams can be determined based on the number of matches they win, or calculated based on various parameters of each team in each match. The ranking is obtained by sorting the participating teams from highest to lowest score.

[0046] like Figure 6 In the competition, Team A won three matches and ranked first; Team B won two matches and ranked second; Team C won one match and ranked third; and Team D won none of the matches and ranked fourth.

[0047] In another approach, the first prediction result for the target match, generated based on the prediction sub-results, can be displayed during the process of generating prediction sub-results for the match games; for example, Figure 5 In the prediction, the user only predicted the sub-results of some matches. It is certain that the team D ranked fourth and the team C ranked third. Therefore, the fourth ranked team D is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the third ranked team C is displayed. The teams ranked first and second are uncertain and are therefore left blank.

[0048] In the above method, the final score ranking is displayed in real time during the prediction of the game results. Users make comprehensive decisions and predict the game results based on the schedule information and the final score ranking during the prediction process, which further enriches the prediction dimensions and makes the first prediction result more reasonable and more accurate.

[0049] In one implementation, the target event includes a first stage and a second stage; in the aforementioned embodiment, when displaying the schedule information of the target event in the graphical user interface, the schedule information of the second stage is specifically displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the participating teams set in the first round of matches are the participating teams that participated in the target event and advanced through the first stage.

[0050] For example, the first stage is the group stage, in which all participating teams participate. Each participating team participates in at least a portion of the games in the first stage. Based on the performance of the games in which the participating teams participate, such as wins, losses, or ties, the participating teams' points in the first stage are calculated, and some participating teams are selected to advance to the second stage based on these points.

[0051] Before the start of the first stage, a second prediction result for the first stage is displayed on the graphical user interface; wherein the second prediction result includes: the predicted ranking of the participating teams in the first stage; in response to the ranking adjustment operation, the predicted ranking of at least some of the participating teams in the first stage is adjusted.

[0052] like Figure 7 In the example, the team selection control allows you to set the participating teams for each sorting. Specifically, after clicking the team selection control, a list of participating teams in the first stage is displayed. You can then select a participating team from this list as the team corresponding to the current sorting.

[0053] The sorting adjustment operations described above can be applied to sorting adjustment controls or to the participating teams in the predicted sorting. Specifically, for example... Figure 8For example, when the mouse hovers over a sorting list containing participating teams, a sorting adjustment control is displayed. By triggering this sorting adjustment control, the predicted sorting of participating teams can be moved forward or backward. In addition, the predicted sorting of participating teams can also be adjusted by long-pressing and dragging the participating teams.

[0054] Furthermore, the aforementioned second prediction result is associated with an advancement indicator, which indicates that teams whose predicted ranking meets a specified ranking condition advance to the second stage. This specified ranking condition can be set according to the competition rules of the target event. For example, if the competition rules require the top four teams in the first stage to advance to the second stage, then the advancement indicator can be displayed between the fourth and fifth ranked teams in the predicted ranking, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. This advancement indicator can assist users in making decisions regarding the prediction results of the first stage, improving the accuracy and reasonableness of the prediction results.

[0055] In one implementation, in response to the start of a target event, the actual results of the participating teams are obtained; based on the actual results, the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team is associated with and displayed with first indication information; wherein, the first indication information is used to indicate the degree of matching between the first prediction result and the actual result. This degree of matching may include whether the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team is the same as the actual result, or it may include the ranking difference between the first prediction result and the actual result corresponding to the participating team.

[0056] The first indication information can be updating the display format, displaying indicator symbols, etc. Specifically, based on the actual results, the display format of the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team is controlled; wherein, the display format is used to indicate whether the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team is correct. The display format can be the font color, background color, edge highlighting, etc. of the first prediction result.

[0057] like Figure 9 In the example, if the first predictions of participating teams C and D are the same as the actual results, the background is white; if the first predictions of participating teams A and B are different from the actual results, the background is gray. Additionally, indicator symbols are displayed for each participating team to further indicate whether their first predictions were correct.

[0058] After the target event concludes, the number of teams whose first prediction was correct can be calculated. The ratio of this number to the total number of participating teams equals the prediction accuracy rate, which is then displayed. Rewards, such as items and points, can also be awarded to the corresponding game accounts based on this prediction accuracy rate.

[0059] The interactive control method for games provided in this embodiment expands the prediction object from isolated matches in related technologies to the entire process of a tournament. Users gradually construct advancement paths by predicting match results, and utilize their own understanding of the tournament rules for global strategy planning. The prediction activity is upgraded from simple result guessing in related technologies to in-depth tournament analysis, expanding the prediction dimensions, enhancing global strategy, and thus significantly increasing the depth of participation and entertainment value of the prediction activity. Furthermore, this embodiment selects the winner of each match in the tournament schedule information, simplifying the interactive operation and optimizing the user experience.

[0060] Furthermore, during the competition, users can intuitively understand how the competition rules affect the final rankings by observing the dynamic comparison between predicted and actual rankings, achieving edutainment. The real-time calculation and visualization of accuracy rates establish a learning verification mechanism, strengthen instant feedback, and allow users to continuously accumulate a sense of accomplishment during the competition, effectively improving user engagement and viewing time.

[0061] Furthermore, the overall prediction data for the target event contains richer user cognitive information compared to the single-match prediction data in related technologies, such as the overall strength assessment of specific teams and the degree of understanding of the competition rules. This can provide event operators with accurate user profiles and predictive market popularity analysis, enhancing the value of the data and helping to support operational decisions and the formulation of differentiated operational strategies.

[0062] See Figure 10 The illustrated game interactive control device provides a graphical user interface via a terminal device; the device includes: The information display module 1000 is used to display the schedule information of the target event on the graphical user interface. The schedule information is used to display at least multiple matches included in the target event. The matches include the first round of matches and at least one round of other matches. The first round of matches has participating teams, while the other matches do not have participating teams. The game prediction module 1002 is used to respond to prediction operations for the game results of at least some of the game matches and to determine the prediction sub-results corresponding to the game matches. The result generation module 1004 is used to generate the first prediction result of the target event based on the prediction sub-results.

[0063] The interactive control device of the aforementioned game provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device; displays the schedule information of the target event on the graphical user interface, the schedule information being used to display at least multiple match games included in the target event, the match games including the first round of match games and at least one round of other match games, the first round of match games having participating teams, and the other match games not having participating teams; responds to prediction operations for the match results of at least some match games, determines the prediction sub-results corresponding to the match games; and generates a first prediction result for the target event based on the prediction sub-results.

[0064] In this method, users can familiarize themselves with the overall event process through the schedule information, and then make predictions for each game, automatically generating prediction results for the entire event. This method enriches the prediction dimensions and simplifies the number of prediction operations, which helps to improve event participation.

[0065] The aforementioned match prediction module is used to: respond to the result prediction operation for the first round of matches and obtain the prediction sub-results of the first round of matches; based on the prediction sub-results of the first round of matches, control the participating teams to set up other matches in the subsequent matches after the first round of matches; and respond to the result prediction operation for other matches and obtain the prediction sub-results of other matches.

[0066] The aforementioned first-round matches and other matches have a promotion relationship; the aforementioned match prediction module is used to: for the first participating team whose predicted sub-result is a victory in the first-round matches, determine the next promotion match from other matches based on the promotion relationship of the first-round matches; and control the first participating team to be set in the promotion match.

[0067] The aforementioned match prediction module is used to: for the second participating team whose predicted sub-result is failure in the first round of matches, determine whether there are subsequent matches against the second participating team in other matches based on the advancement relationship of the first round of matches; if so, control the second participating team to be set in the subsequent matches of the second participating team.

[0068] The aforementioned participating teams are associated with selection controls; the aforementioned match prediction module is used to: respond to the selection operation of the selection control, and determine the participating team associated with the selection control corresponding to the selection operation as the participating team whose predicted sub-result in the match is the winning team.

[0069] The aforementioned target tournament includes a first stage and a second stage; the aforementioned information display module is used to: display the schedule information of the second stage on the graphical user interface; wherein, the participating teams set in the first round of matches are the participating teams that participated in the target tournament and advanced through the first stage.

[0070] The aforementioned apparatus further includes a sorting adjustment module for: displaying a second prediction result for the first stage on a graphical user interface before the start of the first stage; wherein the second prediction result includes: the predicted sorting of the participating teams in the first stage; and adjusting the predicted sorting of at least some of the participating teams in the first stage in response to the sorting adjustment operation.

[0071] The above second prediction result is associated with an advancement indicator, which indicates that the participating teams whose predicted ranking meets the specified ranking conditions will advance to the second stage.

[0072] The aforementioned device further includes a result indication module, used to: in response to the start of the target event, obtain the actual results of the participating teams; based on the actual results, control the first prediction result corresponding to the participating teams to display first indication information; wherein, the first indication information is used to: indicate the degree of matching between the first prediction result and the actual result.

[0073] The aforementioned result indication module is used to: control the display format of the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team based on the actual results; wherein, the display format is used to: indicate whether the first prediction result corresponding to the participating team is correct.

[0074] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory. The memory stores computer-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor.
