Description

Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application with application number 202210862678.5, titled "Method, Apparatus, and Electronic Device for Displaying Location Information", filed on July 20, 2022, and all contents of the Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of game technologies, and in particular, to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying location information.

Background Art

[0003] In a shooting game, when a player's virtual character is hit, usually, within the player's field of view, a hit mark is displayed to present the position of the source of the attack, that is, the enemy's virtual character that hit the player's virtual character. For example, by displaying an arrow or an arc-shaped mark, the position of the enemy's virtual character is presented. The hit mark helps the player to pre-judge the position of the enemy. However, the above-mentioned hit mark only shows the general direction of the enemy and cannot accurately provide the specific position of the enemy, which is disadvantageous for the player to make game decisions and affects the player's game experience.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0032] To more clearly clarify the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, those skilled in the art should also belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure for all other embodiments obtained without creative labor.

[0033] A method for displaying location information in one embodiment of this disclosure can be performed on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for displaying location information is performed on a server, the method for displaying location information may be implemented and performed based on a cloud interactive system, where the cloud interactive system includes a server and client devices.

[0034] In selectable embodiments, the cloud interactive system can run various cloud applications, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, a cloud game refers to a game format based on cloud computing. In the execution mode of a cloud game, the entity executing the game program and the entity presenting the game screen are separated. The storage and execution of the method for displaying location information are completed on the cloud game server, and the role of the client device is to receive and transmit data and present the game screen. For example, the client device may be a display device with data transmission capabilities close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or personal digital assistant (PDA), but the information processing may be performed by a cloud game server in the cloud. When playing a game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud game server. The cloud game server executes the game based on the operation commands, encodes and compresses data such as the game screen, and sends it back to the client device via the network. Finally, the client device decodes the data and outputs the game screen.

[0035] In a selective embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device is configured to store a game program and present a game screen. The local terminal device is configured to interact with the player via a graphical user interface, i.e., to download, install, and run the game program using a normal electronic device. The methods by which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include multiple types, for example, rendering and displaying it on the terminal's display, or providing it to the player by hologram projection. For example, the local terminal device includes a display and a processor, the display being configured to show a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface including a game screen, and the processor being configured to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display.

[0036] Currently, conventional shooting mobile games all display a two-dimensional damage prompt surrounding the reticle, and the main design representation is an arrow indicating the source of the hit. In the design proposal shown in Figure 1, when an enemy target hits the player's virtual object within a certain range nearby, an arc-shaped red arrow prompt (a hit prompt as shown in Figure 1) is displayed around the reticle. The method of indicating the arrow marks the direction in which the target is currently located, helping the player roughly predict the enemy's position and resolve the next tactical action.

[0037] However, because there is only one such presentation mode, it is not possible to more accurately reveal the specific distance of the enemy, nor can it reveal the specific spatial position of the enemy. This is disadvantageous to the player's game decisions and affects the player's game experience. Based on this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying location information applicable to devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and laptop computers.

[0038] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the method for displaying location information disclosed in this embodiment will first be described in detail. A graphical user interface is displayed by a terminal device, and the graphical user interface includes a scene screen of a game scene and a first virtual object located in the game scene, the first virtual object being a virtual object controlled by the terminal device. The terminal device may be a local terminal device as described above, or a client device in a cloud interactive system as described above. Furthermore, if the first virtual object is holding a virtual shooting tool, the graphical user interface will usually further include the virtual shooting tool located in the game scene, in which case the scene screen will further display a crosshair and an area monitoring mark corresponding to the virtual shooting tool, the crosshair and area monitoring mark each having a specified display position relationship with the virtual shooting tool. The crosshair in this case represents the position from which the virtual shooting tool fired or aimed.

[0039] Furthermore, if the first virtual object is not holding any tool, the graphical user interface may typically include only all or part of the first virtual object. In this case, the scene screen may display only an area monitoring mark (the area monitoring mark and the first virtual object having a specified display position relationship), or it may display a reticle and an area monitoring mark (the area monitoring mark and the reticle corresponding to the first virtual object having a specified display position relationship), in which case the reticle is the position aimed by the first virtual object. Of course, the graphical user interface does not necessarily have to display a reticle corresponding to the first virtual object. The terminal device may be a touch-enabled device such as a mobile phone or tablet computer, or a non-touch-enabled device such as a computer or laptop computer. The game scene typically refers to a shooting game scene. The virtual shooting tool may be a virtual firearm, a virtual bow and arrow, etc.

[0040] The scene screen described above typically includes a first virtual object controlled by the player and a virtual shooting tool controlled by the player. The scene screen may also include only the virtual shooting tool controlled by the player, or of course, only the first virtual object controlled by the player. The aiming mark may be a single point, or it may be a mark of other shapes, such as the aiming marks shown in Figures 1 and 2. Furthermore, as illustrated in Figure 2, the aiming mark and the area monitoring mark each have a specified display position relationship with the virtual shooting tool, and the aiming mark moves in accordance with the movement of the virtual shooting tool. Alternatively, if the first virtual object does not have any tools, the aiming mark is a mark corresponding to the first virtual object, and in this case, the aiming mark moves in accordance with the movement of the first virtual object. The area monitoring mark is usually displayed below the aiming mark and similarly moves in accordance with the movement of the first virtual object. Alternatively, the targeting marker does not need to be displayed on the scene screen; in this case, the area monitoring marker also moves in accordance with the movement of the first virtual object.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps.

[0042] In step S302, a region monitoring mark is displayed in the graphical user interface. The monitoring region corresponding to the region monitoring mark is a game scene space region determined based on the current position and monitoring range parameters of the first virtual object. The region monitoring mark includes multiple region marks, and each region mark corresponds to a scene region of the target monitoring direction range and target monitoring distance range in the game scene.

[0043] The center position of the above-mentioned region monitoring mark corresponds to the first virtual character, the above-mentioned monitoring range parameter may be a parameter such as radius or modulation, and the above-mentioned game scene space region may be a circular region, a rectangular region, an elliptical region, etc. For example, the monitoring region corresponding to the above-mentioned region monitoring mark may be a game scene space region with the current position of the first virtual object as its center and a specified distance as its radius, and this game scene space region corresponds to the region monitoring mark.

[0044] The above-mentioned area monitoring marks may be circular, square, or other shapes, and the above-mentioned area marks may be circular, square, fan-shaped, line marks, etc. Unlike the scene areas of the target monitoring direction range and target monitoring distance range in a game scene corresponding to different area marks, for example, the target monitoring distance range corresponding to an area mark located in the central area of ​​the area monitoring mark is a scene area within a radius of 10 meters from the first virtual object, and for example, the target monitoring direction range corresponding to an area mark located in another designated area of ​​the area monitoring mark is a scene area determined to be located northeast of the first virtual object with respect to the first virtual object, and within a range of 10-20 meters of the target monitoring distance range, and for example, the target monitoring direction range corresponding to an area mark located in the edge area of ​​the area monitoring mark is a scene area determined to be located southeast of the first virtual object with respect to the first virtual object, and within a range of 20-30 meters of the target monitoring distance range.

[0045] In actual implementation, a first virtual object corresponding to the virtual shooting tool is controlled to change the scene screen in response to movement in the game scene. After the scene screen changes, the aiming mark and area monitoring mark are displaced relative to the scene screen. The first virtual object is a virtual object controlled by the player, meaning the virtual shooting tool is also a tool controlled by the player. The scene screen displays the game scene captured by a virtual camera corresponding to the first virtual object, and the virtual shooting tool is always displayed on the scene screen. The area monitoring mark usually has a specified shape, such as a circle or an ellipse, and is usually displayed in a semi-transparent state to avoid interference with target acquisition by quasi-stars, so as not to affect the player's view of the scene screen.

[0046] Specifically, the player controls the movement controls displayed on the graphical user interface. stomach The movement of the first virtual object in the game scene may be controlled, or an external input device (e.g., a mouse, keyboard, etc.) may be controlled, thereby changing the scene screen displayed in the graphical user interface according to the movement of the first virtual object, that is, controlling the movement of the virtual camera corresponding to the first virtual object, and further changing the captured scene screen. At the same time, the virtual shooting tool displayed on the scene screen displaces in accordance with the first virtual object, and similarly, the aiming mark and area monitoring mark also displace relative to the virtual shooting tool on the scene screen.

[0047] In step S304, the target virtual object is determined, and the target position information of the target virtual object in the game scene is obtained. Here, the target virtual object is a virtual object other than the first virtual object in the game scene.

[0048] In a game scene, all virtual objects other than the first virtual object may be monitored, specifically monitoring the positional information of all virtual objects other than the first virtual object. If a virtual object is located in a monitoring area corresponding to a monitoring area mark (i.e., the game scene spatial area), that virtual object may be determined to be the target virtual object. Of course, virtual objects other than the first virtual object that have a specified state may also be specifically monitored, and if a virtual object having a specified state is located in a monitoring area corresponding to a monitoring area mark (i.e., the game scene spatial area), that virtual object may be determined to be the target virtual object. The specified state may be a state in which shooting or skill activation is taking place.

[0049] After determining the target virtual object, the target position information of the target virtual object in the game scene is obtained. This target position information is usually the position coordinates of the target virtual object in a 3D coordinate system corresponding to the game scene. Here, the origin of the 3D coordinate system corresponding to the game scene may be any position in the game scene. Of course, the target position information may also be the position coordinates of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, that is, the position coordinates in a 3D coordinate system with the position of the first virtual object as the origin. This target position information usually represents distance information, orientation information, and height information.

[0050] The target virtual object described above may be a virtual object that is in an adversarial relationship with a first virtual object, such as an enemy virtual character or a virtual carrier controlled by an enemy virtual character. The target virtual object may also be a virtual object that is not in an adversarial relationship with a first virtual object, such as a teammate virtual character or a virtual carrier controlled by a teammate virtual character.

[0051] In step S306, a target area mark is determined from multiple area marks based on the target position information. Here, the scene area of ​​the target monitoring direction range and target monitoring distance range corresponding to the target area mark is matched to the target position information.

[0052] Specifically, based on the target position information, it is necessary to determine a target region mark that matches the target position information from among multiple region marks. Based on the target position information, the distance, orientation, and height of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object can be determined, and based on the distance and orientation, a target region mark that matches the distance and orientation can be determined from among multiple region marks, and the target region mark can represent the distance and orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object. In other words, the position indicated by the target position information of the target virtual object is located in the scene area of ​​the target monitoring direction range and target monitoring distance range corresponding to the target region mark.

[0053] In step S308, the display mode of the target area mark is determined based on the height information in the target position information, and the target area mark is displayed based on that display mode.

[0054] The above display modes typically include multiple display modes, with different display modes being determined primarily based on height information. For example, if the height information is zero, the target area mark is displayed in a predetermined first display mode; if the height information is not zero, the target area mark is displayed in a predetermined second display mode; and the target area marks also have different shapes, with different display modes corresponding to different shaped area marks. Furthermore, the display modes also display different information based on the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0055] The target area mark is configured to indicate the distance and orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and the display mode of the target area mark is configured to indicate the vertical distance, i.e., the height distance, of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object.

[0056] The above method for displaying location information involves displaying a region monitoring mark on the graphical user interface, where the region monitoring mark includes multiple region marks, determining a target virtual object, obtaining target location information for the target virtual object in the game scene, determining a target region mark from the multiple region marks based on the target location information, determining the display mode of the target region mark based on the height information in the target location information, and displaying the target region mark based on the display mode. In this mode, the target region mark in the multiple region marks displays the location information of virtual objects other than the first virtual object in the game scene, accurately providing the distance, orientation, and height between the virtual object and the first virtual object, which is advantageous for the player in making game decisions based on the distance and orientation of the virtual object, and improves the player's game experience.

[0057] One possible embodiment of the step of determining the target virtual object in step S304 described above is as follows:

[0058] The system determines a candidate virtual object to perform a predetermined game action, obtains the orientation information of the candidate virtual object, and if the orientation information of the candidate virtual object is within the monitoring area, it determines the candidate virtual object as the target virtual object.

[0059] The specified game actions described above may include skill activation, shooting, and attack actions. The candidate virtual object may be a virtual object that is in an adversarial relationship with the first virtual object, or a virtual object that is in a non-adversarial relationship with the first virtual object. The orientation information may be the absolute orientation information of the candidate virtual object relative to the game scene, or the relative orientation information of the candidate virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and the orientation information is usually coordinate information. For example, if a virtual object in the game scene is performing a specified game action, the virtual object is determined to be a candidate virtual object, then the orientation information of the candidate virtual object is obtained, and based on the orientation information, it is determined whether or not the candidate virtual object is located in the monitoring area corresponding to the area monitoring mark, and if the candidate virtual object is in the game scene space area corresponding to the monitoring area, the candidate virtual object is determined to be a target virtual object. In this method, the game actions of virtual objects other than the first virtual object in the game scene are monitored, and only when a virtual object performing a specified game action is in the monitoring area is that virtual object determined to be a target virtual object, further improving the player's game experience.

[0060] Furthermore, the above target position information is the absolute position information of the target virtual object relative to the game scene, and the absolute position information includes at least one of horizontal position information and height position information, or the target position information is the relative position information of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and the relative position information includes at least one of relative distance information, relative orientation information and relative height information.

[0061] The absolute and relative position information described above are both coordinates of the target virtual object in a three-dimensional coordinate system. This three-dimensional coordinate system may be one with any position in the game scene as its origin, or it may be one with the first virtual object as its origin. Here, the target position information of the target virtual object obtained in the three-dimensional coordinate system with any position in the game scene as its origin is absolute position information, and the target position information of the target virtual object obtained in the three-dimensional coordinate system with the first virtual object as its origin is relative position information.

[0062] The above horizontal position information is usually determined by a two-dimensional coordinate system, the above height position information is usually determined by a three-dimensional coordinate system, the above relative distance information is usually configured to indicate the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, the above relative orientation information is usually configured to indicate the direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and the above relative height information is usually configured to indicate the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0063] Based on absolute and relative position information, the distance, orientation, and elevation difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object can be calculated. In the game scene, the distance refers to the horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object; the orientation refers to the direction of the target virtual object relative to the direction of the first virtual object; and the elevation refers to the vertical distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0064] In step S306 described above, one possible embodiment of the step of determining a target region mark from a plurality of region marks based on the target position is as follows:

[0065] Based on the horizontal position information, relative distance information, and relative direction information in the target location information, the target area mark is determined from multiple area marks.

[0066] The different region marks described above are configured to indicate different distances and orientations between the target virtual object and the first virtual object. For example, the first candidate region mark in the region monitoring marks indicates that the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is short, while the edge region mark in the region monitoring marks indicates that the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is far. Also, for example, the right-hand region mark relative to the first virtual object in the region monitoring marks indicates that the orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is to the right.

[0067] In actual implementation, relative distance information and relative direction information can be determined based on horizontal position information. Therefore, a target area mark that matches the relative distance information and relative direction information can be determined from multiple area marks based on horizontal position information, or directly based on relative distance information and relative direction information. For example, if the target monitoring direction range corresponding to area mark (1) among multiple area marks is southeast, the corresponding target monitoring distance range is 10-20 meters, the relative distance information is 15 meters, and the relative direction information is southeast, then area mark (1) can be determined as the target area mark.

[0068] As shown in Figure 4, the above-mentioned multiple region marks include a first region mark, multiple second region marks, and multiple third region marks. Therefore, one possible embodiment of the above step of determining the target region mark from the multiple region marks based on the horizontal position information, relative distance information, and relative orientation information in the target position information is as follows.

[0069] If the horizontal position information or relative distance information indicates that the horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is less than or equal to a first predetermined distance, the first area mark is determined to be the target area mark.

[0070] In the above-mentioned multiple region marks, each region mark is configured to indicate different distances and different orientations between the target virtual object and the first virtual object. The display format of the region marks is predetermined, and the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, as well as the spatial position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, is indicated by the different display formats.

[0071] In actual implementation, the terminal device acquires target position information of virtual objects other than the first virtual object in the game scene in real time. This target position information includes horizontal position information, or relative distance information and relative orientation information. Since the relative distance information and relative orientation information can be determined based on the horizontal position information, if the relative distance information is less than or equal to a first predetermined distance, the first area mark is determined as the target area mark. The range less than the first predetermined distance can be understood as the target monitoring distance range corresponding to the first area mark.

[0072] The first predetermined distance mentioned above can be set according to the actual game scene, for example, to 5 meters. The first area mark mentioned above may be a circle as shown in Figure 4, or it may be another shape such as an ellipse, square, or polygon.

[0073] As shown in Figure 4, the above-mentioned multiple region marks may include multiple second region marks, where the relative direction between the center point of each second region mark and the center point of the first region mark is different, and other possible embodiments of the step of determining the target region mark from the multiple region marks based on the horizontal position information or relative distance information and relative orientation information in the target position information are as follows.

[0074] If the horizontal position information or relative distance information indicates that the horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is greater than a first predetermined distance and less than or equal to a second predetermined distance, the second region mark is determined as the first candidate region mark. If the horizontal position information or relative orientation information indicates that the orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is in the first direction, a target region mark matching the first direction is determined from the first candidate region marks.

[0075] The range greater than the first predetermined distance and less than or equal to the second predetermined distance can be understood as the target monitoring distance range corresponding to the second area mark, and the different directions can be understood as the target monitoring direction range corresponding to different second area marks.

[0076] The second predetermined distance can be set according to the actual game scene, for example, to 15 meters. The second region mark may be one or more. If there is one, the second region mark may be an annular region outside the first region mark shown in Figure 4. If there are multiple, the second region marks may be a sector region shown in Figure 4 (i.e., sectors 1-8, eight regions in the figure). Currently, the second region mark may also be other shapes such as a triangle or a quadrilateral. Specifically, if the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is greater than the first predetermined distance and less than or equal to the second predetermined distance, the second region mark is determined as the first candidate region mark.

[0077] Since the above-mentioned second region marks include multiple marks, after determining the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, it is not possible to determine which of the multiple second region marks is the target region mark. Therefore, a first direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object can be determined, and a target region mark that matches the first direction can be determined from the multiple second region marks, where the first direction is the direction in the horizontal direction.

[0078] For example, if the first direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is such that the target virtual object is located to the right and in front of the first virtual object, then from among a plurality of second region marks, the target region mark located to the right and in front of the reference position mark (i.e., the center of the first region mark), for example, sector 1 in Figure 4, is determined as the target region mark.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the target area mark is determined by the distance and orientation between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, the distance between virtual objects is indicated by the target area mark, and the distance and orientation of the target virtual object can be accurately determined.

[0080] The above-mentioned multiple region marks include multiple third region marks, and the relative direction between the center point of each third region mark and the center point of the first region mark is different. One possible embodiment of the step of determining the target region mark from the multiple region marks based on the horizontal position information, or relative distance information and relative orientation information in the target position information is as follows.

[0081] If the horizontal position information or relative distance information indicates that the horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is greater than a second predetermined distance and less than or equal to a third predetermined distance, the third region mark is determined as the second candidate region mark. If the horizontal position information or relative orientation information indicates that the orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is in the second direction, a target region mark matching the second direction is determined from the second candidate region marks.

[0082] The third predetermined distance described above may be set according to the actual needs of the game, for example, to 25 meters. The third area mark described above may be a circular line or an arc-shaped line. If there is one third area mark, it may be a circular line, and if there are multiple third area marks, they may be arc-shaped lines. Specifically, if the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is greater than the second predetermined distance and less than or equal to the third predetermined distance, the third area mark is determined to be the second candidate area mark described above.

[0083] As shown in Figure 6, the third region markers include multiple markers, the center of each third region marker has a different relative direction from the center of the first region marker, and each third region marker corresponds to a second region marker. For example, the region monitoring marks in Figure 6 include eight third region markers, each indicating one relative direction. The third region markers may include two, three, or more, and may be specifically set according to the actual needs of the game.

[0084] Because the above-mentioned third region mark includes multiple marks, after determining the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, it is not possible to determine which of the multiple third region marks is the target region mark. Therefore, a second direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object can be determined, and a target region mark that matches the second direction can be determined from the multiple third region marks, where the second direction is the direction in the horizontal direction.

[0085] For example, if the second direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is such that the target virtual object is located to the right and in front of the first virtual object, then from among a plurality of third region marks, the third region mark located to the right and in front of the reference position mark (the center of the first region mark) is determined as the target region mark. For example, the lines corresponding to the outside of sectors 1 and 2 in Figure 6 are the target region marks.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the target area mark is determined by the distance and direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, the distance between virtual objects is indicated by the target area mark, and the distance and orientation of the target virtual object can be accurately determined.

[0087] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the above-mentioned region monitoring mark is a first circle, the first region mark among the multiple region marks is a second circle, the radius of the first circle is larger than the radius of the second circle, and the positions of the centers of the first circle and the second circle are the same, the second region mark among the multiple region marks is a sector demarcated by the ring between the first circle and the second circle, and the third region mark among the multiple region marks is the line outside the first circle.

[0088] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the above-mentioned region monitoring mark is provided with a triangular reference position mark at the center of the region monitoring mark. This reference position mark corresponds to the first virtual object; in other words, the reference position mark displayed by the region monitoring mark is the position of the first virtual object within the region monitoring mark. It should be noted that the region monitoring mark shown in Figure 4 is circular and the reference position mark is triangular, but these are merely examples, and other shapes are also acceptable.

[0089] The following is one possible embodiment of the step of determining the display mode of the target area mark based on the height information in the target position information, and displaying the target area mark based on the display mode.

[0090] The display mode of the target area mark is determined based on the height position information or relative height information in the target position information, and based on the display mode, the first position mark of the target virtual object is displayed on the target area mark, where the first position mark is configured to indicate the target position information of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and the relative position between the first position mark and the reference position mark matches the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0091] Specifically, the relative position between the first position mark and the reference position mark can indicate the relative position between virtual objects. Each position in the above-mentioned area monitoring marks corresponds to a different distance and a different orientation between the target virtual object and the first virtual object. That is, the relative position between the first position mark and the reference position mark matches the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0092] In actual implementation, the distance and orientation between the target virtual object and the first virtual object are acquired in real time. Then, based on this distance and orientation, i.e., the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, a target area mark is determined in the area monitoring mark to display the first position mark. The first position mark is then displayed in this target area mark, and in this case, the relative position between the first position mark and the reference position mark matches the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object. That is, the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is such that the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is 10 meters and the orientation is to the right. The relative position between the first position mark and the reference position mark is such that the distance between the first position mark and the reference position mark is 2 centimeters and the orientation is to the right. Here, the distance of 2 centimeters in the area monitoring mark matches 10 meters in the game scene.

[0093] Furthermore, the first position mark described above typically includes multiple display modes, and the marks with different display modes are configured to indicate the positions of different virtual objects and different controls.

[0094] In the above embodiment, a first position mark and a reference position mark are displayed on the area monitoring mark, and the relative position between the marks indicates the relative position between virtual objects, making it possible to accurately determine the position of the target virtual object.

[0095] The above-mentioned region monitoring mark includes a first region mark and a second region mark, and as shown in Figure 4, the intermediate circular region is the first region mark, the surrounding sector-shaped region is the second region mark, the reference position mark is located in the first region mark, and the target region is the first region mark. In one possible embodiment of the step of determining the display mode of the target region mark based on the height position information or relative height information in the target position information, and displaying the first position mark of the target virtual object in the target region mark based on the display mode, is as follows.

[0096] (1) If the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is zero, and the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, the target area mark is filled with a first predetermined color that is transparent inside and has its edges highlighted.

[0097] The first region mark described above may be a circle as shown in Figure 4, or it may be another shape such as an ellipse, square, or polygon. The first position mark displayed on the first region mark may be a circular pattern having a specified color, a circular line having a specified color, or a circular pattern having a specified color with a line of another color outside of it. Typically, different first position marks indicate different virtual objects.

[0098] Specifically, if the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is less than or equal to a first predetermined distance, a first position mark is displayed on the first region mark. At this time, the player may determine the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, or determine the spatial position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, based on the first position mark displayed by the first region mark.

[0099] If the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, and height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is zero, then it is determined that the spatial orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is horizontal, and the first region mark is filled with a predetermined first color that highlights the edges and gradually becomes transparent inside.

[0100] The above horizontal orientation refers to the absence of a difference in elevation between the target virtual object and the first virtual object. The first predetermined color may be yellow, red, green, etc., and can be set according to actual needs. As shown in Figure 4(a), the goal If the spatial orientation of the virtual object relative to the first virtual object is horizontal, the first region mark is filled with a predetermined first color, with its edges highlighted and gradually becoming transparent inside.

[0101] (2) If the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is not zero, and that the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, then a line having a first predetermined color is displayed on the edge of the target area mark.

[0102] If the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is not zero, and the spatial orientation of the target virtual object with respect to the first virtual object is perpendicular, and it is determined that the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, then a line with a first predetermined color is displayed on the edge of the first area mark, where the darker the first predetermined color, the closer the first virtual object is to the first virtual object within a first predetermined distance range.

[0103] The above vertical orientation means that there is a difference in height between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, and the target may be located above the first virtual object or below the first virtual object. The first predetermined color may be yellow, red, green, etc., and can be set according to the actual needs. As shown in Figure 4(b), when the spatial orientation of the target virtual object with respect to the first virtual object is vertical, the first region mark is filled with the first predetermined color, with the edges highlighted and the interior gradually becoming transparent.

[0104] Furthermore, the first position marker mentioned above will flash to clearly inform the player that a virtual enemy object is nearby.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the spatial orientation between virtual objects can be indicated by filling in the first area marker with color or displaying lines, which is advantageous for accurately determining the relative position of the first virtual object and is advantageous for the player in making game decisions.

[0106] The above target area mark is a second area mark, and one possible embodiment of the step of determining the display mode of the target area mark based on height position information or relative height information in the target position information, and displaying the first position mark of the target virtual object on the target area mark based on the display mode, is as follows.

[0107] (1) If the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is zero, and that the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, the target area mark is filled with a first predetermined color in which the outer edges are highlighted and the interior is transparent.

[0108] (2) If the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is not zero, and that the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, the target area mark is filled with a first predetermined color in which the internal edges are highlighted and the external edges are transparent.

[0109] The first position mark displayed on the second region mark may be the same pattern as the second region mark having the specified color, or it may be a circular pattern having the specified color, or it may be a circular pattern having the specified color with a line of another color outside it. Typically, different first position marks indicate different virtual objects.

[0110] Similarly, the first predetermined color can be set according to the actual requirements. As shown in Figure 5(a), if the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is zero and the spatial orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is horizontal, the target area mark (i.e., the second area mark) is filled with the first predetermined color, with its outer edges highlighted and gradually becoming transparent inward. As shown in Figure 5(b), if the height position information or relative height information indicates that the height difference between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is not zero and the spatial orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object is vertical, the target area mark is filled with the first predetermined color, with its inner edges highlighted and gradually becoming transparent inward. Here, the darker the first predetermined color, the closer the first virtual object is to the first virtual object within the range between the second predetermined distance and the first predetermined distance.

[0111] In the above embodiment, by filling the second region mark with a first predetermined color in a different gradient form, the spatial orientation between virtual objects can be indicated, which is advantageous for accurately determining the relative position of the target virtual object and is advantageous for the player in making game decisions.

[0112] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the above-mentioned region monitoring mark further includes a third region mark located outside the region monitoring mark, i.e., on the outer line of the circular region.

[0113] The above target area mark is a third area mark, and one possible embodiment of the step of determining the display mode of the target area mark based on height information in the target position information, and displaying the first position mark of the target virtual object on the target area mark based on the display mode, is to fill the target area mark with a first predetermined color when the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial.

[0114] The first position mark displayed in the third area mark above may be a line having the specified color, or another pattern having the specified color. Typically, different shapes are used. the goal This shows a different relationship between a virtual object and a first virtual object. Specifically, a first position mark is displayed on the target area mark, and the player may determine the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object based on the first position mark displayed by the third area mark, and further, may determine the spatial position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object.

[0115] As shown in Figure 6, the third region markers include multiple markers, each with a different relative direction from the reference position marker, and each third region marker corresponds to a second region marker. For example, the region monitoring markers in Figure 6 include eight third region markers, each indicating a single relative direction. The third region markers may include two, three, or more, and may be specifically configured according to the actual needs of the game.

[0116] If the above-mentioned area monitoring mark is circular, the third area mark is a circular outer line, and the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is adversarial, then an outer line with a first predetermined color is displayed on the target third area mark, where the darker the first predetermined color, the closer the first virtual object is to the first virtual object within the third predetermined distance range.

[0117] Similarly, the first predetermined color can be set according to the actual needs. As shown in Figure 6, the goal The spatial orientation of the virtual object relative to the first virtual object is horizontal, and the target third area mark displays an outer line having a first predetermined color. Here, the darker the first predetermined color, the greater the distance between the first virtual object and the second predetermined distance and the third predetermined distance. Separation and This indicates that it will be close to the first virtual object within the range of [value].

[0118] In the above method, by displaying an external line of a predetermined color on the third target area mark and indicating the direction between virtual objects, the relative positions of the target virtual objects can be accurately determined, which is advantageous for the player in making game decisions.

[0119] Furthermore, the first predetermined color includes multiple different predetermined sub-colors, each having a different color depth, and the target virtual objects corresponding to the different predetermined sub-colors are at different distances from the first virtual object within the target monitoring distance range corresponding to the target area mark. In other words, the darker the first predetermined color, the closer the target virtual object is to the first virtual object within the target monitoring distance range corresponding to the target area mark.

[0120] Furthermore, one possible embodiment of the step of displaying the first position mark of the target virtual object on the target area mark is as follows:

[0121] If the relationship between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is non-adversarial, the target position that matches the target position information is determined from the target area mark, and the first object mark of the target virtual object is displayed at the target position.

[0122] Specifically, based on the target position information, the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is determined, the target position matching that relative position is determined from the target area mark, and the first object mark of the target virtual object is displayed at the target position.

[0123] If the target area mark consists of a first and a second area mark, the first object mark of the target virtual object can be directly displayed at the target location. If the target area mark consists of a third area mark, the first object mark of the target virtual object can be directly displayed at the edge position of the third area mark, and the first object mark of the target virtual object displayed at the edge position of the third area mark is usually different from the first object mark of the target virtual object displayed at the target location.

[0124] As shown in Figure 7, if the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is less than or equal to a second predetermined distance, a target position matching that distance is determined from the target area mark based on the specific distance and orientation of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object. This target position is then matched to the relative position between the target virtual object and the first virtual object, and the first object mark of the target virtual object is displayed at the target position. The first object mark may include multiple marks. For example, if the target virtual object is a virtual character, a circular pattern filled with blue is displayed, corresponding to (1) in Figure 7 (shown as gray with blue in Figure 7). Alternatively, if the target virtual object is a virtual carrier, a circular pattern is displayed, which includes a circular pattern filled with white and a single white circular line attached to the outer edge of the circular pattern, corresponding to (2) in Figure 7 (shown as black with white in Figure 7). For example, if the target virtual object is the driving of a virtual carrier, it displays a circular pattern, which includes a blue-filled circular pattern and a white circular line around the outer edge of the circular pattern, corresponding to (3) in Figure 7.

[0125] Furthermore, if the distance between the target virtual object and the first virtual object is greater than the second predetermined distance and less than the third predetermined distance, the target edge position matching that distance is determined from the edge area of ​​the area monitoring mark based on the specific distance and direction of the target virtual object relative to the first virtual object, and then the second object mark of the target virtual object is displayed at the target edge position. If the second object mark is a pattern of a predetermined shape, for example, if the target virtual object is a virtual character, a blue-filled triangular pattern is displayed, corresponding to the gray triangle located on the outer edge in Figure 7. Also, for example, if the target virtual object is a virtual carrier, a triangular pattern is displayed, which includes a white-filled triangular pattern and a white circular line attached to the outer edge of the triangular pattern, corresponding to the black triangle located on the outer edge in Figure 7. Also, for example, if the target virtual object is a virtual object driving a virtual carrier, a triangular pattern is displayed, which includes a blue-filled triangular pattern and triangle The pattern includes a single white circular line along its outer edge, and the edge corresponding to the outer edge in Figure 7 has a gray triangle with a black line.

[0126] In the above embodiment, the target area marker displays the object marker of the teammate's virtual object, allowing for accurate determination of the enemy's virtual object's position as well as the position of teammates, further improving the player's game decision-making efficiency and enhancing the user's gaming experience.

[0127] One possible embodiment of the step of displaying a first object mark of the target virtual object at the target location is to determine that the target virtual object has been hit and killed, and then display a second object mark of the target virtual object at the target location.

[0128] If a target virtual object is hit and killed, a second object mark of the target virtual object is displayed at the target location, and this second object mark may be set according to the actual needs, for example, an "X" in Figure 7. In this embodiment, the display of the second object mark of the target virtual object at the target location indicates that the target virtual object has been hit and killed.

[0129] The above-mentioned region monitoring marks include a plurality of second region marks and a plurality of third region marks, and the above method further includes the step of increasing the number of second and third region marks in the region monitoring marks or increasing the monitoring range parameter in response to the first virtual object acquiring a specified virtual item, wherein the number of second region marks is the same as the number of third region marks.

[0130] When the first virtual object moves in the game scene, it typically acquires several game items. When a specified virtual item is acquired, the number of second and third area marks in the area monitoring marks increases according to the number indicated by the specified virtual item. As shown in Figure 8, the original eight sectors are expanded to 12 grids, thereby making the search range more accurate. At the same time, the directions indicated by the external damage marks corresponding to each third area mark also increase. It is also possible to increase the monitoring range parameter of the monitoring area. For example, initially, only the scene area with a radius of 30 meters and the first virtual object as the center is monitored. After acquiring several game items, the scene area with a radius of 50 meters and the first virtual object as the center can be monitored. In this embodiment, by setting a specified virtual item, the number of area marks and the monitoring range parameter can be increased, further improving the player's search efficiency.

[0131] In actual gameplay, as shown in Figure 2, the circular area monitoring mark is displayed below the aiming mark and requires a certain viewing angle, for example, tilted upwards by 15 degrees. This ensures that the display within each radar section is clearly recognizable.

[0132] In the manner described above, the current presentation of hit detection in mobile shooting games solves a relatively broad problem, helping players determine the specific range of enemy cover and more accurately predict the location of virtual objects in advance.

[0133] Furthermore, the method further includes the steps of: obtaining orientation and height information of a second virtual object in a game scene in response to a first virtual object being hit by a second virtual object in a game scene; and displaying a damage mark on a graphical user interface based on the orientation and height information, wherein the damage mark is configured to indicate the orientation of the second virtual object, and the second virtual object is a virtual object that is in a hostile relationship with the first virtual object.

[0134] As shown in Figure 9, damage marks are displayed in the graphical user interface, and these displayed damage marks are usually three-dimensional, such as triangular pyramids.

[0135] One possible embodiment of the step of displaying damage marks on a graphical user interface based on the orientation and height information described above is to determine the relative orientation and height information of a second virtual object with respect to a first virtual object based on the orientation and height information, to determine a designated area mark that matches the relative orientation information from among a plurality of area marks of area monitoring marks based on the relative orientation and height information, to determine the display mode of the damage marks based on the relative height information, and to display the damage marks in the external area corresponding to the designated area mark based on the display mode.

[0136] The above damage mark is a three-dimensional tapered mark, and one possible embodiment of the step of determining the display mode of the damage mark based on relative height information and displaying the damage mark in an external area corresponding to a designated area mark based on the display mode is as follows.

[0137] (1) If the relative height information is zero, it is determined that the display mode of the damage mark is the first display mode, and the damage mark is displayed in the external area corresponding to the designated area mark based on the first display mode, where the first display mode indicates that the height of the second virtual object relative to the first virtual object is zero.
