[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410519536.8, filed on April 26, 2024, entitled "Jump Control Method, Device and Electronic Equipment in Games", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of graphical user interface technology, and more specifically, to a jump control method, apparatus, and electronic device in a game. Background Technology

[0004] In games, jumping is a commonly used skill for characters. Jumping typically involves multiple parameters, including jump height, trajectory, and landing point, resulting in a wide variety of jumping effects in games. One approach involves pre-setting these parameters, allowing the player to control the virtual character to jump according to these preset parameters after triggering the character's jump skill. However, this method produces relatively simple jumping effects and makes it difficult to control the virtual character to achieve desired game actions through jumping. Another approach is to determine one or more of these jump parameters based on the player's input, allowing the virtual character to perform various game actions through jumping. However, this method requires more precise player control, leading to a higher learning curve and impacting the player's overall gaming experience. Summary of the Invention

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0029] In games, there are several ways to handle virtual character jumps. For example, a charged-up forward lunge can be implemented, where players can adjust the lunge distance by charging, but this is usually handled rather simply and lacks precision. Another option is to trigger a parabolic jump when the player clicks the jump button, but this makes it difficult for players to predict the trajectory and landing point, resulting in a higher learning curve and difficulty of operation.

[0030] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a jump control method, device, and electronic device in a game, which can be applied to game scenarios including virtual characters with jumping skills.

[0031] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the jump control method in a game can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the jump control method in a game runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0032] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program's execution and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of jump control methods in the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses game screen data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0033] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1, a jump control method in a game provided by this disclosure will be introduced first. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided through a terminal device; the GUI displays the game scene where the controlled virtual character is located. The controlled virtual character typically possesses jumping skills and is configured with multiple jumping methods. In specific implementations, each jumping method corresponds to a different jump height or a different jump distance, or different jumping methods may correspond to different jump heights and jump distances; this is not limited here. The method includes the following steps:

[0035] In step S102, in response to the jump operation, a jump indicator is displayed on the graphical user interface. The jump indicator includes multiple indicator progresses, and each indicator progress is used to prompt the triggering of the corresponding jump method.

[0036] The aforementioned jump operation can be a control operation performed by the user through a human-computer interaction device connected to the terminal device. This human-computer interaction device can be a mouse, keyboard, game controller, or touchscreen, etc. For example, when a user controls a virtual character to jump using a keyboard, a specific key on the keyboard can be set to control jumping; in this case, the jump operation can be a click, long press, or other operation on that key. When a user controls a virtual character to jump using a touchscreen, it is usually necessary to pre-set controls or touchable areas for controlling jumping in the graphical user interface; in this case, the jump operation can be a touch operation on these controls or touchable areas. Specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0037] Players can typically control the controlled virtual character to jump in different ways by changing the operation parameters of the jump action. For example, the jump action can be a double-tap, specifically a double-tap in touch operation or a double-tap on a button on a human-computer interaction device. Players can control the time interval between the two taps, thus changing the controlled virtual character's jump method. The jump action can also be a long-press action, where players can control the duration of the long press, thereby changing the controlled virtual character's jump method. The specific settings can be customized according to needs and are not limited here.

[0038] The aforementioned progress indicators can typically be modified using operational parameters. For example, when the jump operation is a double-click, the progress indicator can increase as the time interval between the two clicks increases; when the jump operation is a long press, the progress indicator can increase as the duration of the long press increases. Multiple progress indicator ranges can be preset, each with a corresponding jump method. For example, if the total range of progress indicators is 1-100, three progress indicator ranges can be set: [0,30], [30,60], and [60,100].

[0039] Step S104: Update the progress of the jump indicator based on the operation parameters of the jump operation, so that the progress of the jump indicator corresponds to the operation parameters of the jump operation.

[0040] As mentioned above, the specific operation parameters are related to the type of jump operation and can be of various types. When the operation parameters change, the progress indicator will change. The progress indicator also has a certain range; when the progress indicator reaches its maximum value, it will remain at that maximum value and will not change further.

[0041] When displaying jump indicator markers, a corresponding indicator area can be set for each indicator progress range. Different indicator areas can be continuous, as shown in Figure 2, or they can be spaced apart, as shown in Figure 3. Generally speaking, the indicator areas corresponding to numerically adjacent indicator progress ranges are also adjacent. In Figure 2, indicator area 1, indicator area 2, and indicator area 3 can correspond to the indicator progress ranges [0,30], [30,60], and [60,100], respectively.

[0042] In addition, Figure 2 shows a jump control, which allows players to jump when playing the game on a mobile device. The control parameter is the duration of pressing the control. Figure 3 shows the Shift key icon, indicating that players can control jump by pressing the Shift key on the keyboard. In practical applications, the Shift key can be replaced by other keys, depending on the requirements.

[0043] When the operation parameters cause the progress indicator to reach a certain range, this range can be displayed in different display formats. For example, when the operation parameters make the progress indicator 55, the indicator area corresponding to the progress range [30, 60] can be displayed in other display formats, as shown by the shaded area in Figure 2. In practice, these other display formats can be preset display colors, magnified displays, flashing displays, etc., and are not limited here.

[0044] When the progress indicator is 55, it has already covered the progress indicator range of [0,30]. Therefore, the indicator area corresponding to the progress indicator range of [0,30] can be displayed with a shadow, as shown in Figure 4. To distinguish between the indicator area already covered by the progress indicator and the indicator area currently in progress, the indicator area corresponding to the progress indicator range of [0,30] and the indicator area corresponding to the progress indicator range of [30,60] can be displayed in different formats, for example, one with a light shadow and the other with a dark shadow.

[0045] To accurately show players the current progress indicator, only the portion of the indicator area corresponding to the 30-55 range within the [30, 60] progress indicator range can be displayed in shadow. As the progress indicator changes, the shadowed area will gradually increase, allowing players to control their jump more precisely.

[0046] Step S106: In response to the end of the jump operation, determine the current indicator progress indicated by the jump indicator, and control the controlled virtual character to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current indicator progress.

[0047] The aforementioned "end of jump operation" typically refers to the player releasing the long-press button after using it to control the jump; or the game system automatically determining the jump operation has ended when the player's jump operation duration reaches a specified time. Specific settings can be configured according to needs and are not limited here.

[0048] When the jump operation ends, the jump method corresponding to the current progress indicated by the jump indicator is the jump method adopted by the controlled virtual character after this jump operation. Therefore, the controlled virtual character can be controlled to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current progress.

[0049] The aforementioned jump control method in a game displays a jump indicator on the graphical user interface in response to a jump operation. This jump indicator includes multiple progress markers, each indicating the corresponding jump method. The progress markers are updated based on the operation parameters of the jump operation, ensuring the progress corresponds to the parameters. Upon completion of the jump operation, the current progress marker indicated by the jump indicator is determined, and the controlled virtual character is controlled to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current progress marker. This method provides multiple jump methods for the controlled virtual character and indicates the jump method determined by the player's current control operation through the jump indicator, enriching the jumping options in the game, improving the player's gaming experience, and potentially increasing player retention.

[0050] The following embodiments provide a specific method for controlling the progress of updating the jump indicator flag based on the operation parameters of a jump operation.

[0051] When the jump operation described above is a long press operation on a touchscreen, or a long press operation on a button on a keyboard, mouse, or game controller, the operation parameter can be the operation duration. In this case, the progress of updating the jump indicator needs to be controlled based on the operation duration of the jump operation.

[0052] In practical implementation, the real-time progress indicator can be determined based on the operation duration of the jump operation. A pre-set scaling factor can be used, with the product of the operation duration and this scaling factor serving as the real-time progress indicator value. Alternatively, a duration threshold can be set; when the operation duration exceeds this threshold, the product of the difference between the operation duration and the duration threshold and the scaling factor is used as the real-time progress indicator value. This then determines the indicator area within the jump indicator that corresponds to the real-time progress. For example, if the jump indicator is a long bar, with one end corresponding to progress 0 and the other end corresponding to progress 100 (the maximum value), then the area from the segment corresponding to progress 0 to the position corresponding to the real-time progress value can be considered the indicator area corresponding to the real-time progress. Furthermore, the display method of the updated indicator area can be controlled to visually distinguish it from other indicator areas. Specifically, different colors can be used to display this indicator area and other indicator areas.

[0053] Assume the jump indicator includes a first indicator progress and a second indicator progress. The first indicator progress is less than the second indicator progress. The first and second indicator progresses are set sequentially in ascending order on the jump indicator, as shown in Figure 5. The position flush with indicator A represents the first indicator progress, and the position flush with indicator B represents the second indicator progress. The area below the first indicator progress is the first progress range, and the area between the first and second indicator progresses is the second progress range. The first progress range corresponds to the first jump method, and the second progress range corresponds to the second jump method.

[0054] The following embodiment provides a specific method for responding to the end of a jump operation, determining the current indicator progress indicated by the jump indicator, and controlling the controlled virtual character to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current indicator progress.

[0055] When the jump indicator includes a first indicator progress and a second indicator progress, with the first indicator progress below the first indicator progress being the first progress range and the second indicator progress between the first indicator progress and the second indicator progress being the second progress range, and the first progress range corresponds to the first jump method and the second progress range corresponds to the second jump method, if the current indicator progress is within the first progress range, the controlled virtual character is controlled to jump in the game scene according to the first jump method; if the current indicator progress is within the second progress range, the controlled virtual character is controlled to jump in the game scene according to the second jump method.

[0056] The first jump method described above can be set to a stationary jump, with a preset jump height. When controlling the virtual character to jump in the game scene using the first jump method, the virtual character needs to be controlled to perform a stationary jump at the preset height. The jump height can also be set to be proportional to the operation duration. Specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0057] The second jump method described above can be set to jump forward. When the operation parameters include operation duration, the target jump parameters need to be determined based on the operation duration of the jump operation; the target jump parameters include target jump height and / or target jump distance; control the controlled virtual character to jump forward according to the target jump parameters.

[0058] The target jump parameters mentioned above can be jump height, jump distance, or both. A mathematical formula for generating the jump trajectory can be preset, with the target jump parameters serving as independent variables. Different target jump parameters will generate corresponding jump trajectories. For example, the jump trajectory can be parabolic or a fan-shaped arc, depending on the requirements. Alternatively, after determining the jump height, jump distance, and other jump parameters, a smooth curve can be fitted based on the jump parameters and the current position of the controlled virtual character, and this curve can be used as the jump trajectory.

[0059] It's worth noting that the jump trajectory determined by the target jump distance can be multi-segmented. For example, a threshold for the jump parameter can be preset. If the target jump parameter is less than or equal to the threshold, one segment of the jump trajectory can be determined based on the target jump parameter; if the target jump parameter is greater than the threshold, another segment of the jump trajectory can be determined based on the threshold. Then, the target jump parameter minus the threshold is calculated, and another segment of the jump trajectory is determined based on this result. The landing point of the second segment can be used as the starting point of the first segment. Alternatively, a maximum number of segments in the jump trajectory can be preset, and the process ends when the determined jump trajectory equals the maximum number of segments.

[0060] After the jump operation is completed, the controlled virtual character will perform a jump action according to the jump trajectory corresponding to the target jump parameters, usually landing at the jump landing point. If the controlled virtual character collides with other virtual characters during the jump, it can be set to jump along the same trajectory with the other virtual characters; alternatively, the controlled virtual character can be set to land directly after colliding with another virtual character; or, another virtual character can be used as a jump starting point, and a new jump trajectory can be determined based on this starting point and the remaining jump distance or jump height, thereby controlling the controlled virtual character to jump according to the new jump trajectory. Specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0061] The progress indicator changes with the operation duration. The second progress range typically has a corresponding starting operation duration. When the player's operation duration reaches this starting operation duration, the progress indicator enters the second progress range. When determining the target jump parameter, the difference between the jump operation duration and the starting operation duration corresponding to the second progress range can be calculated to obtain the calculation result. The product of the calculation result and a preset first proportional coefficient is determined as the target jump parameter.

[0062] To facilitate player control of jumping, jump indicators are typically used to show the jump trajectory of the controlled virtual character, or simply display the landing point, or a portion of the jump trajectory and landing point. Figure 6 shows multiple jump trajectories of the controlled virtual character using jump indicators. Figure 7 shows a portion of the jump trajectory and landing point using jump indicators. Figure 8 shows only the landing point. In different application scenarios, jump indicators may help players understand different jump information; therefore, the display format of the jump indicators can be set according to requirements, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0063] Since jump indicators can be used to indicate jump trajectories and landing points, the jump trajectory or landing point needs to be determined first. Specifically, the jump trajectory of the controlled virtual character can be determined based on the target jump parameters, the current position of the controlled virtual character, and the current line of sight; furthermore, based on the jump trajectory, jump indicators are displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0064] The current gaze direction can be determined by the orientation of the controlled virtual character and the shooting angle of the virtual camera capturing the current game scene. A third-person perspective can be set using the virtual camera, by placing the virtual camera at a specified position on the controlled virtual character, such as a position a specified distance from the back of their head. When a specified action is performed, such as controlling the controlled virtual character to turn left or right, the virtual camera will simultaneously turn in the corresponding direction, thus changing the current gaze direction. Similarly, when the controlled virtual character looks upwards, the virtual camera can also be rotated upwards, thereby changing the current gaze direction.

[0065] The current line of sight can be used as the starting jump direction, and the current position of the controlled virtual character can be used as the starting position. After determining the above two parameters and the target jump parameters, the jump trajectory can be determined based on a preset jump trajectory equation, or an arc can be fitted based on the above parameters as the jump trajectory.

[0066] Because game scenes typically include other scene objects such as walls and tables, these objects may pass through the controlled virtual character's jump trajectory, preventing the character from completing the entire jump. The jump trajectory determined using the above method is usually only the initial jump trajectory. It's necessary to determine whether the controlled virtual character's initial jump trajectory is obscured by scene objects in the game scene; if obscuration occurs, the portion of the initial jump trajectory from the jump start point to the scene object obscuring the initial jump trajectory is determined as the controlled virtual character's jump trajectory. In other words, the obscured portion of the trajectory is discarded.

[0067] Players can typically adjust the controlled virtual character's gaze direction by controlling actions such as turning around and turning their head. In response to these gaze direction adjustments, the system updates the controlled virtual character's current gaze direction. Then, based on the target jump parameters, the controlled virtual character's current position, and the updated gaze direction, it updates the controlled virtual character's jump trajectory. For example, if the controlled virtual character turns to the left, it needs to jump to the left. If the controlled virtual character looks up, it needs to jump diagonally upwards. Finally, based on the updated jump trajectory, a jump indicator is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0068] The jump trajectory described above includes the take-off position, the jump arc, and the landing point. Since the starting position is usually the current position of the controlled virtual character, it is generally unnecessary to indicate this position. To indicate the jump arc and landing point, the jump indicator typically includes an arc indicator portion and a landing point indicator portion. After the jump trajectory is determined, the arc indicator portion of the jump indicator is displayed along the jump arc, and the landing point indicator portion is displayed at the landing point. The arc indicator portion can be displayed as a line or a patch shape, and the landing point indicator portion can be displayed as an arrow or the origin. The specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0069] Other virtual characters may exist in the game scene. While controlling the controlled virtual character to execute a jump action according to the jump trajectory corresponding to the target jump parameters, in response to a collision between the controlled virtual character and the first virtual character, you can either control the controlled virtual character to continue jumping together with the first virtual character, or control the controlled virtual character and the first virtual character to land directly on the ground, etc., depending on your needs.

[0070] The controlled virtual character may jump upwards, such as from flat ground to a hillside or onto a wall. If the landing point is higher than the controlled virtual character's current position, the controlled virtual character will execute a jump action according to the jump trajectory corresponding to the target jump parameters, landing at the landing point and remaining there. Anchor points can be set at the landing point, allowing the controlled virtual character to attach to them and cling to that location.

[0071] This disclosure also provides another method for controlling jump in games. This method is implemented based on the method shown in Figure 1. This method can be applied to virtual characters with jumping skills in games, satisfying different jumping needs of players through a two-stage jumping mechanism.

[0072] When a player controls a virtual character and presses the jump button, a jump indicator appears in the graphical user interface. This indicator can be a curved charge bar, as shown in Figure 9. The bar is divided into two segments. The first segment is filled with red during charge (shown as a dark shading in Figure 9), while the second segment is filled with a different color. In the game, the jump button can be the spacebar.

[0073] First, when the player briefly presses the jump button to charge up to the first segment of the arc-shaped charge indicator bar, releasing the button triggers a virtual character's jump from the spot. The height and movement of the jump are fixed and are unrelated to the charging time within the first segment.

[0074] Secondly, by holding down the jump button until the charge is complete (within the second segment of the arc-shaped charge indicator), the player releases the button to trigger a certain virtual character's super jump skill. The skill is described as follows: Hold down the spacebar to charge and leap; if the player hits a wall during the jump, they can cling to it. If the player touches a flying hero, they will be dragged from the air to the ground. During the second segment of the charge, holding down the jump button will provide a jump indicator, showing the direction and distance of the virtual character's forward jump, as shown in Figure 10.

[0075] The longer the second charge-up time, the farther the jump indicator points. Players can adjust the direction the indicator points in the scene by moving the mouse to adjust the view, thus determining the target direction and position for the selected virtual character's jump, such as forward or upward. Figure 11 shows the jump indicator for a controlled virtual character that needs to jump diagonally upward.

[0076] Finally, after determining the target location, release the jump button to control a virtual character to leap forward towards the target location, dealing damage and inflicting corresponding skill effects on a certain range around the target location.

[0077] For the above method embodiments, referring to Figure 12, a jump control device in a game provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device; the graphical user interface displays the game scene where the controlled virtual character is located; wherein, the controlled virtual character is configured with multiple jump modes, each jump mode corresponding to a different jump height and / or jump distance; the device includes:

[0078] The jump indicator display module 1202 is configured to perform a jump operation in response to display a jump indicator on the graphical user interface. The jump indicator includes multiple indicator progresses, each of which is used to prompt the triggering of the corresponding jump method.

[0079] The progress update module 1204 is configured to update the progress of the jump indicator based on the operation parameters of the jump operation, so that the progress of the jump indicator corresponds to the operation parameters of the jump operation.

[0080] The jump control module 1206 is configured to respond to the end of the jump operation by determining the current progress indicated by the jump indicator and controlling the controlled virtual character to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current progress.

[0081] The aforementioned jump control device in a game, in response to a jump operation, displays a jump indicator on the graphical user interface. The jump indicator includes multiple progress markers, each used to prompt the triggering of a corresponding jump method. The progress markers are updated based on the operation parameters of the jump operation, ensuring the progress corresponds to the parameters. Upon completion of the jump operation, the current progress marker indicated by the jump indicator is determined, and the controlled virtual character is controlled to jump in the game scene according to the jump method corresponding to the current progress marker.
