[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0039] The present invention provides a method for displaying information on a virtual chessboard, which can be applied, but is not limited to, in the application environment shown in FIG1 . As shown in FIG1 , the application environment can include, but is not limited to, a terminal 100 and a server 200 . The terminal 100 can include, but is not limited to, a display 100 - 1 , a processor 100 - 2 , and a memory 100 - 3 . The server 200 can include a database 200 - 1 and a processing engine 200 - 2 . Furthermore, the database 200 - 1 can exist independently of the server 200 .

[0040] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying information of a virtual chessboard, comprising the following steps.

[0041] Step S102: The terminal 100 displays the second virtual object located in the object exchange area via the display 100-1, and obtains an exchange instruction for selecting to exchange the second virtual object.

[0042] Step S104, sending the exchange instruction to the server 200 via the network 300;

[0043] In step S106, the server 200 responds to the exchange instruction through the processing engine 200-2, first determining whether the second virtual object is a virtual object already located in the chessboard game area (referred to as the first virtual object). If so, the server 200 obtains and updates the count information of the virtual object (referred to as the second virtual object) in the chessboard game area to obtain the first count information.

[0044] In steps S108 and S110, the server 200 sends the first counting information to the terminal 100 via the network 300. The terminal 100 displays the first counting information on the display 100-1 via the processor 100-2. Specifically, the first counting information is displayed in the chessboard game area via the display 100-1, and the first counting information is stored in the memory 100-3.

[0045] In addition to the example shown in FIG1 , the above steps can be completed independently by the terminal or the server, or by the terminal and the server working together, such as by the terminal 100 performing the above steps S106 and so on, thereby reducing the processing pressure of the server 200. The terminal 100 includes but is not limited to handheld devices (such as mobile phones), laptops, tablet computers, desktop computers, vehicle-mounted devices, and smart TVs, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific implementation of the terminal 100. The server 200 can be a single server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud server, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2, the information display method of the virtual chessboard provided in an embodiment of the present application can be executed by an electronic device, which can be, for example, at least one of the terminal and the server shown in Figure 1. The information display method of the virtual chessboard includes steps S202 to S206, and each step is described below.

[0047] S202: Display a first virtual object within the chess game area.

[0048] The first virtual object is used to perform a virtual game during a game phase of the virtual board game.

[0049] S204: Display the second virtual object in the object exchange area.

[0050] The second virtual object performs a virtual game in the game phase through resource exchange; and the second virtual object located in the object exchange area is set to be exchanged in the exchange-allowed phase of the virtual board game, and the second virtual object exchanged in the exchange-allowed phase is allowed to perform a virtual game in the game phase.

[0051] S206: When the second virtual object is selected to be exchanged and the first virtual object and the second virtual object are the same, first counting information of the first virtual object is displayed in the chessboard game area.

[0052] Among them, the first counting information is used to represent the cumulative number of the first virtual object in the chessboard game area, the cumulative number is positively correlated with the game level of the first virtual object, and the game level is positively correlated with the game strength of the game virtual object in the game stage.

[0053] The virtual chessboard information display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to, but is not limited to, scenarios in the Auto Chess game (referred to as a virtual chessboard game). The Auto Chess game is an emerging chess game. After the two players place their existing chess pieces (referred to as virtual objects) on the chessboard, the Auto Chess game application automatically controls the virtual objects to play the game and outputs the game results. During the game phase, the Auto Chess game automatically controls the virtual objects to move on the game area (referred to as the chessboard game area) based on the virtual objects' attributes, skills, and positions on the game area, and attacks the enemy virtual objects, thereby simulating the game effect. During the settlement phase, the Auto Chess game calculates the game result based on the remaining virtual objects of each player on the game area. By combining the attributes, skills, and layout of the virtual objects, victory in the game can be achieved.

[0054] Typically, the virtual chessboard in an auto chess game is divided into two parts: a game area (referred to as the chessboard game area) and a preparation area. The game area can be used, but is not limited to, to display virtual objects (first virtual objects) used for virtual games during the game phase, while the preparation area can be used, but is not limited to, to display virtual objects that are held but not temporarily used for virtual games. For example, virtual objects in the preparation area can be used as data for upgrading virtual objects in the game area. However, the setting of the preparation area will have a certain impact on the game experience. For example, the preparation area occupies limited game scenes and screen space, affecting the overall layout of the game. In addition, the presence of the preparation area increases the control operations required to display virtual objects in the game area, reducing the efficiency of the operation. When the exchanged virtual objects (referred to as the second virtual objects) are placed in the preparation area, since the exchanged virtual objects are usually resources used as alternative upgrades, the exchange of virtual objects cannot be reflected before the virtual objects are successfully upgraded, affecting the exchange effect of the virtual objects and the timeliness of the exchange feedback.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, by placing the additional virtual objects (second virtual objects) required for the virtual object to be upgraded (first virtual object) into the game area for counting, the preparation area for displaying the additional virtual objects can be canceled. In this way, the preparation area can be deleted, and the impact of the preparation area on the game experience can be reduced, thereby improving the control efficiency of virtual objects, the exchange effect of virtual objects, and the timeliness of exchange feedback.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, virtual objects may be understood as, but are not limited to, virtual chess pieces, virtual characters, virtual props, etc. on a virtual board game, and the positions of virtual objects on the virtual board game may be changed, but are not limited to, and the display form of virtual objects on the virtual board game may be, but are not limited to, displayed using two-dimensional images or three-dimensional models.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, a first virtual object located in the chessboard game area is used to conduct a virtual game during the game phase of a virtual chessboard game; for example, when virtual object A of virtual camp A and virtual object B of virtual camp B are located in the chessboard game area at the same time, virtual object A and virtual object B conduct a virtual game during the game phase; wherein, the virtual game can be conducted by, but is not limited to, manually manipulating the virtual object, or automatically manipulating the virtual object, or a combination of manual and automatic manipulation of the virtual object, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the second virtual object located in the object exchange area is set to be exchanged during the exchange-permitted phase of the virtual board game, and the exchange of the second virtual object in the object exchange area can, but is not limited to, consume virtual resources. For example, if account 1 chooses to exchange the second virtual object A in the object exchange area, and the virtual resources currently held by account 1 are 20 and the virtual resources required to exchange the second virtual object A are greater than 20, the exchange fails due to insufficient virtual resources. For another example, if account 2 chooses to exchange the second virtual object B in the object exchange area, and the virtual resources currently held by account 2 are 30 and the virtual resources required to exchange the second virtual object B are less than 30, the exchange to the second virtual object B is successful because the virtual resources are sufficient.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the second virtual object exchanged in the exchange-allowed phase is used to conduct a virtual game in the game phase, as shown in (a) in FIG. 3 , and the second virtual object 304 in the exchange object exchange area 302 is selected; the second virtual object 304 is further displayed in the chessboard game area 306, and the second virtual object 304 is manipulated to conduct a virtual game in the game phase, as shown in (b) in FIG. 3 .

[0060] It should be noted that when the first virtual object is displayed in the chessboard game area, a second virtual object is displayed in the object exchange area in response to an object exchange instruction. In other words, the display of the object exchange area can be switched from the chessboard game area to display after receiving the object exchange instruction, and the object interaction instruction refers to an instruction to switch the display of the object exchange area from the chessboard game area to display the object exchange area. In addition, the chessboard game area and the object exchange area can also be displayed simultaneously, or the object exchange area can be superimposed on the chessboard game area, etc., and this embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, first counting information of a first virtual object is displayed in a chessboard game area; wherein, display can be understood as, but is not limited to, turning on the display of the first counting information when the counting information of the first virtual object is not displayed; or, when the counting information of the first virtual object is already displayed, updating the counting information and displaying the updated counting information, the updated counting information being the first counting information. As shown in (a) of FIG4 , counting information 406 of a first virtual object 404 is displayed in a chessboard game area 402 (indicating that the cumulative number of the first virtual object 404 is 1); further, a second virtual object identical to the first virtual object 404 is selected for exchange, and within the chessboard game area 402, the counting information 406 of the first virtual object 404 is updated to the first counting information 408 (indicating that the cumulative number of the first virtual object 404 is 2).

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the first counting information is used to represent the cumulative number of the first virtual object in the chessboard game area. For example, the number corresponding to the first virtual object located in the chessboard game area is 1, and the number corresponding to the first virtual object that is selected and purchased and is the same as the first virtual object is also 1, so the cumulative number of the first virtual object in the chessboard game area can be accumulated to 2. At this time, the first counting information is 2; based on this, 3 second virtual objects that are the same as the first virtual object are selected and purchased, and then the cumulative number of the first virtual object in the chessboard game area can be accumulated to 5. At this time, the first counting information is 5.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the cumulative number is positively correlated with the game level of the first virtual object, wherein the positive correlation can be understood, but is not limited to, as the greater the cumulative number, the higher the game level of the first virtual object. For example, when the cumulative number is 1, the game level of the first virtual object is 1, and when the cumulative number is increased to 2, the game level of the first virtual object is also increased to 2; or, the cumulative number corresponds to different game levels under different quantity thresholds, and the higher the quantity threshold, the higher the game level of the first virtual object. For example, when the quantity threshold is 1, the game level of the first virtual object is 1, when the quantity threshold is 3, the game level of the first virtual object is 2, and when the quantity threshold is 9, the game level of the first virtual object is 3.

[0064] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5, when the quantity threshold is 1, the game level of the first virtual object 502 is 1, when the quantity threshold is 3, the game level of the first virtual object 502 is 2, and when the quantity threshold is 9, the game level of the first virtual object 502 is 3. Correspondingly, when the first counting information 504 indicates that the cumulative number of the first virtual object 502 is 2, the quantity threshold of 1 is reached, but the quantity threshold of 3 is not reached, and the current game level of the first virtual object 502 is determined to be 1; further, when the first counting information 506 indicates that the cumulative number of the first virtual object 502 is 4, the quantity threshold of 3 is reached, but the quantity threshold of 9 is not reached, and the current game level of the first virtual object 502 is determined to be 2; further, when the first counting information 508 indicates that the cumulative number of the first virtual object 502 is 9, the quantity threshold of 9 is reached, and the current game level of the first virtual object 502 is determined to be 3.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the game level is positively correlated with the game strength of the first virtual object in the game stage. For example, the higher the game level of the first virtual object, the higher the game attributes of the first virtual object, such as attack attributes, defense attributes, displacement attributes, survival attributes, etc., when conducting a virtual game in the game stage.

[0066] It should be noted that when the second virtual object exchanged from the object exchange area is the same as the first virtual object, displaying the cumulative number of the first virtual object in the chessboard game area in the form of first counting information can improve the timeliness of the cumulative status display of the same virtual objects, thereby improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0067] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG6 , a first virtual object 604 located in a chessboard game area 602 is displayed, wherein the virtual object located in the chessboard game area 602 is set to play a virtual game in the game phase of the virtual chessboard game; a second virtual object 608 located in an object exchange area 606 is further displayed, as shown in (b) of FIG6 , wherein the virtual object located in the object exchange area 606 is set to be exchanged in the exchange-permitted phase of the virtual chessboard game, and the second virtual object exchanged in the exchange-permitted phase is used to play a virtual game in the game phase. 6(c), when the second virtual object 608 is exchanged and the first virtual object 604 and the second virtual object 608 are both first virtual objects, first counting information 610 of the first virtual object is displayed in the chessboard game area 602, wherein the first counting information 610 is used to indicate the cumulative number of the first virtual objects in the chessboard game area 602, and the cumulative number is positively correlated with the game level of the first virtual object, and the game level is positively correlated with the game strength of the first virtual object in the game stage.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present application, a first virtual object located in a chessboard game area is displayed, wherein the first virtual object located in the chessboard game area is configured to be used for a virtual game during a game phase of a virtual chessboard game; a second virtual object located in an object exchange area is displayed, wherein the second virtual object located in the object exchange area is configured to be exchanged during a permitted exchange phase of the virtual chessboard game, and the second virtual object exchanged during the permitted exchange phase is used for a virtual game during the game phase; when the second virtual object is selected for exchange and the first virtual object and the second virtual object are the same, first counting information of the game virtual object is displayed in the chessboard game area, wherein the first counting information is used to indicate the cumulative number of the game virtual objects in the chessboard game area, the cumulative number being positively correlated with the game level of the game virtual objects, and the game level being positively correlated with the game strength of the game virtual objects in the game phase. By displaying the cumulative number of the same virtual objects in the chessboard game area in the form of the first counting information for the second virtual objects exchanged from the object exchange area, the timeliness of displaying the cumulative status of the same virtual objects is improved, thereby improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, before displaying the first counting information of the virtual objects in the game, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: displaying the first number of the first virtual objects, wherein the first number is used to indicate the number of the first virtual objects in the chessboard game area before selecting to exchange the second virtual object.

[0070] As an optional solution, the counting information of the first virtual object is displayed, including: when the first quantity is equal to the initial quantity, a game level progress box is displayed, the first quantity represents the number of the first virtual object before selecting to exchange the second virtual object, and the initial quantity represents the minimum cumulative number when the first virtual object is at the first game level; the progress in the game level progress box represents the second counting information of the first virtual object after selecting to exchange the second virtual object, wherein the first counting information is used to represent the sum of the second counting information and the initial quantity.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, when the first quantity is equal to the initial quantity, it indicates that the first quantity is the quantity required for the first virtual object to be at the current game level; that is, if the first virtual object does not display the game level progress box, then it is determined that the counting information of the game virtual object indicates that the current quantity of the first virtual object is equal to the initial quantity.

[0072] It should be noted that, in order to improve the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard, when the number of first virtual objects in the chessboard game area is equal to the initial number, the game level progress box is not displayed to indirectly indicate the number of virtual objects in the chessboard game area (for example, the current game level of the first virtual object); and when the number of first virtual objects in the chessboard game area is greater than the initial number, the progress of the game level progress box is used to distinguish and indicate the number of first virtual objects in the chessboard game area, thereby improving the timeliness of knowing the cumulative status of the same virtual objects. That is, when the first number is equal to the initial number, the embodiment of the present application displays the first counting information in combination with the current game level of the first virtual object and the game level progress box.

[0073] Exemplarily, when the initial number is 1 and the number of the first virtual object 702 in the chessboard game area is 1, then as shown in (a) in Figure 7, the first virtual object 702 does not display the game level progress box; assuming that the initial number is 1, and the number of the first virtual object 702 in the chessboard game area is 2, then as shown in (b) in Figure 7, the first virtual object 702 displays the game level progress box 704, and the progress in the game level progress box 704 is 1 (see the filled part); assuming that the initial number is 1, and the number of the first virtual object 702 in the chessboard game area is 3, then as shown in (c) in Figure 7, the first virtual object 702 displays the game level progress box 706, and the progress in the game level progress box 706 is 2 (see the filled part).

[0074] The embodiment of the present application is based on the game level of the first virtual object, and combines the first counting information of the first virtual object with the game level progress box to realize the display of the cumulative number of the first virtual object, thereby improving the timeliness of the cumulative status display of the same virtual object, and thus improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the first counting information of the first virtual object is displayed, including: when the first quantity is greater than the initial quantity and the first progress in the displayed game level progress box represents the third counting information, the first progress is updated and displayed as the second progress, wherein the third counting information is used to represent the difference between the first quantity and the initial quantity, and the first counting information is used to represent the sum of the quantity corresponding to the second progress and the initial quantity.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the first counting information of the first virtual object is displayed, including: when the first number is greater than the initial number and the first progress in the displayed game level progress box represents third counting information, a progress box corresponding to the first game level is displayed, wherein the first counting information is used to represent the minimum cumulative number when the first virtual object is at the first game level, and the first game level is obtained by upgrading the second game level corresponding to the game level progress box.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the progress representations in the progress boxes corresponding to different game levels can be different but are not limited to different. It is assumed that one progress bar represents a first virtual object; and the number of progress bars in the progress box corresponding to the second game level can be the number of first virtual objects required for the first virtual object to upgrade from the second game level to the first game level, and the number of progress bars in the progress box corresponding to the first game level can be the number of first virtual objects required for the first virtual object to upgrade from the first game level to the next game level; as shown in (a) of Figure 8, the first virtual object 802 is at the second game level, and the number of progress bars in the progress box 804 corresponding to the second game level is 3, while as shown in (b) of Figure 8, the first virtual object 802 is at the first game level, and the number of progress bars in the progress box 806 corresponding to the first game level is 6.

[0078] It should be noted that in order to intuitively indicate that the virtual game objects correspond to different game levels, different progress boxes are used to indicate the corresponding counting information of the virtual game objects at different game levels, thereby improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0079] Continuing to refer to FIG8 , as shown in (a) in FIG8 , the first level progress of the progress box 804 corresponding to the first game level indicates that the first virtual object 802 is only one away from being promoted to the first game level; further exchanging two new second virtual objects 802, as shown in (b) in FIG8 , the progress box 804 corresponding to the first game level is updated to the progress box 806 corresponding to the first game level, and the number of first virtual objects 802 indicated by the progress box 806 is the number of game virtual objects 802 indicated by the progress box 804 plus 2. For example, if the progress box 804 indicates that the number of game virtual objects 802 is 2, then the number of first virtual objects 802 corresponding to the progress box 806 is 4.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the second virtual object located in the object exchange area, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: when the second virtual object is selected for exchange, and the second virtual object is different from the first virtual object, and the second virtual object selected for exchange meets the placement conditions in the chessboard game area, displaying the second virtual object selected for exchange in the chessboard game area.

[0081] It should be noted that the second virtual object selected for exchange will only be used as an upgrade resource for the first virtual object located within the chessboard game area if it is identical to the first virtual object located within the chessboard game area. If the second virtual object selected for exchange is different from the first virtual object located within the chessboard game area, the second virtual object selected for exchange can be directly placed within the chessboard game area to improve the efficiency of virtual object manipulation. To improve the rationality of virtual object manipulation, placement conditions are set. If the placement conditions are met, the second virtual object selected for exchange is placed within the chessboard game area. The placement conditions include at least one of the following: a first condition and a second condition; the first condition is determined based on the virtual resources used to exchange the second virtual object, and the second condition is determined based on the capacity of the chessboard game area.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application achieves the purpose of improving the rationality of operating the virtual object selected for exchange by displaying that the second virtual object selected for exchange is located in the chessboard game area when the second virtual object selected for exchange is selected for exchange, the second virtual object is different from the first virtual object, and the second virtual object selected for exchange meets the placement conditions within the chessboard game area; and setting the placement conditions, and placing the second virtual object selected for exchange into the chessboard game area when the placement conditions are met, thereby improving the efficiency of controlling the virtual object.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, when the placement condition includes a first condition, the method further includes: determining that the second virtual object selected for purchase satisfies the first condition within the chessboard game area when the virtual resources already held are greater than or equal to the virtual resources required for the second virtual object selected for purchase. When the placement condition includes a second condition, the virtual chessboard information display method further includes: determining that the second virtual object selected for purchase satisfies the second condition within the chessboard game area when the number of first virtual objects is less than or equal to the number of second virtual objects, wherein the first number of virtual objects is the sum of the number of virtual objects already within the chessboard game area and the number of second virtual objects selected for purchase, and the second number of virtual objects is the maximum number of virtual objects allowed to be placed within the chessboard game area.

[0084] It should be noted that in order to improve the comprehensiveness of the setting of the placement conditions, the setting of the placement conditions can be based on the virtual resources required to exchange the second virtual object, or based on the number of virtual objects in the chessboard game area, or a combination of the above, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0085] For example, if you choose to exchange 5 identical second virtual objects, and the maximum type of virtual objects allowed to be placed in the chessboard game area is 5, and the type of virtual objects currently placed in the chessboard game area is 1, the 5 identical second virtual objects selected for exchange can be placed in the chessboard game area, and it is determined that the placement conditions are met.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the second virtual object located in the object exchange area, the method further includes: when the second virtual object is selected to be exchanged, and the second virtual object is different from the first virtual object, and the second virtual object selected to be exchanged does not meet the placement conditions in the chessboard game area, displaying a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to prompt that the exchange of the second virtual object has failed.

[0087] It should be noted that in order to reduce the impact of placing the second virtual object selected for exchange in the preparation area on the control efficiency of the virtual object, when the second virtual object selected for exchange does not meet the placement conditions, the embodiment of the present application is configured to prevent the purchase of the second virtual object that does not meet the placement conditions, and thus the preparation area for displaying additional virtual objects can be canceled, thereby overcoming the impact of the setting of the preparation area on the game experience, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the first virtual object located in the chessboard game area, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: displaying the virtual props located in the chessboard preparation area in the chessboard preparation area, wherein the virtual props are set as props to be assembled by the first virtual object; based on the virtual props in the chessboard preparation area, controlling the first virtual object to perform a virtual game.

[0089] It should be noted that the difference between the chessboard preparation area in the embodiment of the present application and the original preparation area (the above-mentioned preparation area) is that the original preparation area is used to display virtual objects in the chessboard game area, while the chessboard preparation area in the embodiment of the present application is used to display virtual props of virtual objects in the chessboard game area, and prohibits the display of virtual objects in the chessboard game area; therefore, even if the preparation area for displaying additional virtual objects is not cancelled, the impact of the setting of the preparation area on the game experience is still overcome, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, virtual props are set as props to be assembled by virtual objects located in the chessboard game area. For example, virtual attack props can be configured to virtual objects in the chessboard game area to improve the attack properties of the virtual objects.

[0091] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application can view virtual props through the chessboard preparation area, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the comprehensiveness of information display on the virtual chessboard on the basis of eliminating part of the display function of the original preparation area.

[0092] The embodiment of the present application displays virtual props located in the chessboard preparation area, wherein the virtual props are set as props to be assembled by virtual objects located in the chessboard game area, thereby eliminating part of the display function of the original preparation area, but the virtual props can be viewed through the chessboard preparation area, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the comprehensiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard on the basis of eliminating part of the display function of the original preparation area.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, displaying virtual props located in the chessboard preparation area includes: when the number of virtual props in the chessboard preparation area is at least two, merging and displaying the at least two virtual props, and displaying the number of virtual props in the merged display result.

[0094] It should be noted that, since the chessboard preparation area is used to display virtual props, when the number of virtual props is large, multiple identical virtual props are combined and displayed to reduce the complexity of the information displayed in the chessboard preparation area.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application achieves the purpose of reducing the complexity of information displayed in the chessboard preparation area by merging and displaying at least two identical virtual props in the chessboard preparation area and prompting the number of virtual props in the at least two identical virtual props, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the intuitiveness of the information display of the virtual chessboard.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the virtual props located in the chessboard preparation area, the method further includes: in response to an area hiding operation performed on the chessboard preparation area, hiding the chessboard preparation area and displaying an unhide control; in response to an unhide operation performed on the unhide control, displaying the chessboard preparation area.

[0097] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application reduces the impact of the display of virtual props on the chessboard game area by hiding the display of the chessboard preparation area, improves the efficiency of controlling virtual objects, and also improves the display effect of the virtual game; in addition, because the importance of virtual props is lower than that of virtual objects, even if the virtual props are hidden, the overall impact on the virtual chessboard game is reduced, achieving a balance between the comprehensiveness of information display and the impact on the chessboard game area, thereby improving the experience of the virtual chessboard game.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the first counting information of the first virtual object, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: when the first counting information indicates that the current game level is upgraded from the second game level to the first game level, increasing the level game strength of the first virtual object based on the level strength increment, wherein the level game strength represents the strength of the game level dimension; when the first counting information indicates that the current game level is the second game level, increasing the quantity game strength of the first virtual object based on the quantity strength increment, wherein the quantity game strength represents the strength of the quantity dimension of the virtual object.

[0099] It should be noted that exchanging a second virtual object that is identical to the first virtual object increases the number of identical virtual objects. However, since the game level remains unchanged, purchasing the same virtual object usually does not increase the game strength. In other words, in the above case, there is no positive feedback generated by purchasing the same virtual object, which leads to the problem of insufficiently timely positive feedback.

[0100] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, when exchanging a second virtual object that is identical to the first virtual object, the game intensity is still improved even if the game level remains unchanged from the original game level. However, the improvement in game intensity in the above case is a game intensity improvement based on the increase in the number of virtual objects, which can be, but is not limited to, lower than the game intensity improvement when the game level is improved.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, when exchanging a second virtual object that is identical to a first virtual object, even if the game level remains unchanged, the game intensity is still increased in quantity, and the granularity of the game intensity improvement is refined, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the timeliness of positive feedback generated by the exchange of the same virtual object.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: displaying virtual object type information for the chessboard game area, wherein the virtual object type information includes at least one of the following: the type of virtual object already located in the chessboard game area, and the maximum type of virtual object to be placed in the chessboard game area.

[0103] It should be noted that, in order to improve the intuitiveness of the information displayed in the chessboard game area, the types of virtual objects that have been placed in the chessboard game area and the types of virtual objects that are placed most in the chessboard game area are displayed.

[0104] For example, as shown in Figure 9, virtual object type information 904 is displayed in the chessboard game area 902, wherein the virtual object type information 904 includes the number of virtual object types already located in the chessboard game area 902: 2, and also includes the maximum number of virtual object types placed in the chessboard game area 902: 5.

[0105] The embodiment of the present application improves the intuitiveness of information display in the chessboard game area from three dimensions: the types of virtual objects that have been placed in the chessboard game area and the types of virtual objects that are placed most frequently in the chessboard game area.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, after displaying the first counting information of the first virtual object, the information display method of the virtual chessboard also includes: obtaining the upgrade quantity difference between the first counting information and the target quantity for upgrading the second game level; when the upgrade quantity difference is less than or equal to a preset threshold, displaying upgrade prompt information, wherein the upgrade prompt information is used to prompt the second game level to be upgraded by exchanging the first virtual object of the preset threshold.

[0107] It should be noted that, in order to improve the timeliness of the prompt for the first virtual object to upgrade its game level, when the first virtual object is about to upgrade its game level, corresponding upgrade prompt information is displayed.

[0108] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the progress box 804 indicates that the first virtual object 802 is one virtual object away from upgrading, and the game level is about to be upgraded. Then, the corresponding upgrade prompt information can be displayed to prompt that the first virtual object 802 is about to upgrade the game level.

[0109] The embodiment of the present application achieves the purpose of displaying corresponding prompt information when the game level of the virtual object is about to be upgraded by displaying upgrade prompt information when the upgrade quantity difference is less than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the timeliness of the prompt for the virtual object to upgrade the game level.

[0110] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned virtual chessboard information display method is applied to the scenario of the auto chess game. Among them, the auto chess game is an eight-player round-based competitive game with collectible hero cards. There are eight accounts in the game, and each of the eight accounts occupies a virtual chessboard. Each round consists of two stages: preparation and virtual game. In the preparation stage, the accounts exchange chess pieces (called virtual heroes) in the virtual resource library and arrange virtual objects on the virtual chessboard; after entering the virtual game, the lineups of the virtual objects of both sides are locked, and the virtual objects will automatically play the virtual game until all the chess pieces of one side are knocked down. The loser will be deducted a certain amount of virtual health. The rounds are repeated to match new opponent accounts until the virtual object's health value is ≤0 and it is eliminated. The last remaining virtual object will win the game (1st place), and the other virtual objects will be ranked according to the health value when they were knocked down (2nd to 8th).

[0111] In Auto Chess, elements obtained through account exchange or other means, which serve as the main body of each round of the game, can automatically move and attack in virtual games, and automatically release virtual skills. Furthermore, if an account obtains multiple identical pieces, these pieces will be combined into a higher-level piece, and multiple higher-level pieces can be combined again.

[0112] In Auto Chess, the area where virtual heroes compete is divided into a friendly and enemy deployment area during the preparation phase. During the preparation phase, accounts can place acquired heroes in their own deployment area. During the virtual match phase, the deployment areas merge to form a complete virtual match field, where the virtual heroes of both teams automatically compete in virtual matches. The number of virtual heroes that can be placed on the virtual match field is limited; this limit is determined by factors such as account level and special items.

[0113] It's important to note that Auto Chess games include virtual hero star upgrades (called game level upgrades). This involves exchanging identical pieces from a virtual resource pool for existing pieces. For example, exchanging three identical pieces can create a piece of a higher level than the swapped piece. However, due to the limited number of virtual heroes that can participate in virtual matches on the virtual playing field, Auto Chess games often include a preparation area (preparation zone) to store pieces that are being prepared for star upgrades but do not participate in virtual matches. However, this additional preparation area introduces the following issues: it takes up screen space, reduces the space available for virtual matches and virtual layouts, reduces spectator experience and operational efficiency, increases the number of operations required to swap pieces before engaging in virtual matches, increases the probability of incorrect operations, and fails to reflect the positive feedback provided by the pieces in the preparation area before star upgrades.

[0114] Based on this, when the information display method of the virtual chessboard provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to the auto chess game, by canceling the preparation area and using the counting information of the virtual hero itself to replace the virtual hero that has been exchanged and placed in the preparation area, the screen space occupied is reduced, the space for virtual games and virtual layouts is increased, the viewing effect and operation efficiency are improved, the operations from exchanging chess pieces to conducting virtual games are reduced, the probability of misoperation is reduced, and the positive feedback brought by the chess pieces in the preparation area before upgrading can be reflected in a timely manner.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, the preparation area can be used as a virtual game area or other functions, such as the virtual resource library 10-1 shown in Figure 10, which displays virtual heroes for exchange, and exemplarily shows virtual heroes 10-11 to virtual heroes 10-13.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, when an account exchanges chess pieces in the virtual resource library, if the chess pieces are not owned, the exchanged chess pieces will appear directly on the virtual game field; if the chess pieces are already owned, the exchanged chess pieces will be accumulated to the count of the owned chess pieces.

[0117] For example, as shown in Figure 11, when a single chess piece has no extra health (e.g., chess piece 11-1 in the 1-star chess set, chess piece 11-2 in the 2-star chess set, and chess piece 11-3 in the 3-star chess set, corresponding to the existing health of 1, 3, and 9), the virtual status value bar is directly displayed. When there are extra health (virtual heroes originally stored in the preparation area), they are stored below the chess piece's virtual health bar and displayed in the form of a progress bar scale (called a game level progress box) (e.g., chess piece 11-4 in the 1-star chess set, and chess piece 11-5 in the 2-star chess set).

[0118] At the same time, the virtual hero stored below the virtual status value bar of the chess piece can improve the basic attribute values ​​of the virtual hero (including but not limited to health value, skill value, attack power, etc.). In this way, positive and negative feedback can be obtained in time during the star-raising process of the virtual hero; as shown in Figure 12, when chess piece 1-1 is 1 star + 1 piece, compared with 1 star, the basic attribute (called quantity game strength) is enhanced, and the chess piece skill (called level game strength) remains unchanged; when chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars, compared with 1 star + 1 piece, the basic attribute is enhanced, and the chess piece skill is also enhanced; when chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars + 1 piece, compared with 2 stars, the basic attribute is enhanced, and the chess piece skill remains unchanged; when chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars + 2 pieces, compared with 2 stars, the basic attribute is enhanced, and the chess piece skill remains unchanged. Compared with 2 stars + 1 pieces, the basic attributes are enhanced, and the skills of the chess piece remain unchanged; when the chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars + 3 pieces, compared with 2 stars + 2 pieces, the basic attributes are enhanced, and the skills of the chess piece remain unchanged; when the chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars + 4 pieces, compared with 2 stars + 3 pieces, the basic attributes are enhanced, and the skills of the chess piece remain unchanged; when the chess piece 1-1 is 2 stars + 5 pieces, compared with 2 stars + 4 pieces, the basic attributes are enhanced, and the skills of the chess piece remain unchanged; when the chess piece 1-1 is 3 stars, compared with 2 stars + 5 pieces, the basic attributes are enhanced, and the skills of the chess piece are also enhanced.

[0119] For example, as shown in Figure 13, an account selects a chess piece to be exchanged in the virtual resource library within the Auto Chess game (here it is assumed that the chess piece has met the exchange prerequisites (called placement conditions), such as sufficient resources for exchanging chess pieces and no purchase restrictions). After completing the chess piece exchange, the game system determines whether the chess piece is already on the field. If not, it determines whether there is a position on the virtual game field to play. If so, it is played as a new chess piece. Otherwise, it is prompted that it cannot be played. If it is already on the field, it is automatically merged with the chess piece on the field. It is determined whether it can be upgraded after merging with the existing chess piece. If so, the chess piece is upgraded, improving basic attributes and chess piece skills. If not, it is determined whether a count bar is displayed. If so, the count bar is counted and accumulated, and the basic attributes are improved. If not, the count bar is displayed, and the count on the count bar is 1, and the basic attributes are improved according to the settings.

[0120] In addition, an embodiment of the present application provides a timing diagram between an account, a game client (presentation layer) and a game client (logic layer). As shown in Figure 14, the account clicks to exchange a chess piece in the virtual resource library, and the presentation layer sends an exchange instruction to the logic layer. The logic layer determines whether the exchange conditions are met and determines the processing method after the exchange. The judgment results here are divided into multiple situations. For example, situation 1 is not exchangeable, and the presentation layer feeds back a prompt to the account that it cannot be exchanged; situation 2 is exchangeable, and the chess piece is upgraded after the exchange, and the presentation layer feeds back the performance of the corresponding chess piece upgrade to the account; situation 3 is exchangeable, and a new count accumulation starts after the exchange. The presentation layer feeds back to the account a cumulative progress bar for the number of newly added chess pieces under the blood bar, and adds +1 to the cumulative progress bar for the number of chess pieces; situation 4 is exchangeable, and the cumulative number is +1 after the exchange, and the presentation layer feeds back to the account the progress of adding the cumulative progress bar for the number of chess pieces under the blood bar.

[0121] The embodiment of the present application reduces the complexity of the elements in the game scene (reducing the accumulation of chess pieces in the preparation area) by placing the chess piece display function used for merging stars in the preparation area onto the chess pieces on the field, and removing the preparation area. It also reduces the repeated and frequent operations of placing and placing chess pieces in the preparation area, reduces the operational burden and risk of misoperation of repeatedly placing and placing chess pieces in the preparation area and the virtual game field during the game, and improves the operational accuracy and efficiency of the auto chess game.
