Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Here, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As much as possible, the same component symbols are used in the drawings and the description to indicate the same or similar parts.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the display device 100 includes a controller 110, a communication interface 120, and a display panel 130. The controller 110 is electrically connected to the communication interface 120 and the display panel 130. In this embodiment, the controller 110 may be a scaler. In this embodiment, the communication interface 120 is a hub, and the hub may include a first Universal Serial Bus 121 and a second Universal Serial Bus 122. In this embodiment, the first Universal Serial Bus 121 is used to electrically connect the input device 210, and the second Universal Serial Bus 122 is used to electrically connect the host device 220. The input device 210 may be, for example, a mouse. The host device 220 may be, for example, a computer host. It should be noted that the input device 210 is connected to the host device 220 via the display device 100. Also, the controller 110 can detect an operation command provided by the input device 210 to the host device 220. For example, the input device 210 can output mouse movement data (e.g., direction data and distance data) to the communication interface 120, and the communication interface 120 can further output the mouse movement data to the host device 220.

[0019] In this embodiment, since the host device 220 can execute a game program and provide display data of a game screen to the display device 100, the display device 100 can display a corresponding display screen via the display panel 130 based on the display data. However, the present invention is not limited to game screens. In this embodiment, the display panel 130 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, a light-emitting diode (LED) display panel, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, or a quantum dot display panel, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for displaying a dynamically adjustable ballistic trajectory according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the display device 100 can execute the following steps S210 to S240. In step S210, the controller 110 can receive display data of a display screen from the host device 220 via a communication interface. In this embodiment, the display data is display data of a shooting game screen, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In step S220, the controller 110 drives the display panel 130 to display a display screen based on the display data via the controller 110, and further, can display a ballistic trajectory image in the display screen via the display panel 130. It should be noted that the display panel 130 displays the ballistic trajectory image in the display screen via an on-screen display. That is, the controller 110 covers or overlays an image of the on-screen display on a partial area of the display screen. In step S230, the controller 110 can receive direction data and distance data from the input device 210 via a communication interface. In step S240, the controller 110 can dynamically adjust the ballistic trajectory image based on the direction data and the distance data.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 3 for a specific description, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a display screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the controller 110 can display the display screen 300 of FIG. 3 via the display panel 130. In this embodiment, the display device 100 can further include an image database, and the image database can store a plurality of built-in ballistic path images. The communication interface can further be electrically connected to another input device via another universal serial bus. When the shortcut key of the another input device is triggered, in response thereto, the controller 110 can select a specific ballistic path image 302 from the image database and display the ballistic path image 302 in the display screen 300 via the display panel 130. The above-mentioned another input device may be a keyboard. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the controller 110 can select one of the plurality of built-in ballistic path images as the ballistic path image based on the aiming command provided by the host device 220.

[0022] In another embodiment, the controller 110 automatically detects the display data or the content of the current display screen 300, and based on the target type of the shooting target 301 in the display data or the current display screen 300, can select one of the plurality of built-in ballistic path images in the image database as the ballistic path image 302. That is, the display device 100 can pre-store the image of a specific shooting target of a specific game. When the controller 110 instantly determines through image matching that the user is using a specific shooting target of a specific game, the display screen 300 can automatically display the ballistic path image 302 suitable for the shooting target 301.

[0023] Notably, the ballistic path image 302 of the present invention includes a mouse movement proposed path 303, and the mouse movement proposed path 303 refers to a path that can assist the user when an automatic shooting aiming deviation occurs during continuous shooting in a shooting game. The user is proposed to operate the mouse to control the direction of the ballistic along the mouse movement proposed path 303, so that the target can continue to be accurately shot. Further, the controller 110 can dynamically adjust the mouse movement proposed path 303 in the ballistic path image 302 based on the direction data and distance data of the input device 210. In this regard, the adjustment direction of the mouse movement proposed path 303 in the ballistic path image 302 is the opposite direction of the direction indicated by the direction data of the input device 210, and the movement distance of the mouse movement proposed path 303 in the ballistic path image 302 may be equal to the distance indicated by the distance data of the input device 210. For example, assuming that the mouse movement data output by the input device 210 moves from the origin coordinates (0, 0) to the coordinates (0, -20), it can be seen that the direction data of the input device 210 moves downward and the movement distance data is 20. Therefore, the adjustment direction of the mouse movement proposed path 303 in the ballistic path image 302 is upward movement, and the movement distance is 20. The mouse movement proposed path 303 can be predefined or fabricated in advance according to different shooting targets.

[0024] As described above, the display device and the method for displaying a dynamically adjustable ballistic path of the present invention can automatically generate an adjusted ballistic path image and display a mouse movement proposed path during the process in which the user plays a specific shooting game and uses a specific shooting target, thereby effectively assisting the user to control the shooting aiming of the shooting target.
