[0021] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present disclosure, but only represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work on the basis of the embodiments in the present disclosure are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] The method for information prompting in a game in one of the embodiments of the present disclosure can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for information prompting in a game runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, for example, cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of cloud games, the running subject of the game program and the presentation subject of the game picture are separated, and the storage and running of the information prompt method in the game are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture. For example, the client device can be a display device close to the user side with a data transmission function, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer, etc. However, the cloud game server in the cloud end performs information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game picture and other data, returns the data to the client device through the network, and finally decodes and outputs the game picture through the client device.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, taking games as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used for presenting a game picture. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, a conventional game program is downloaded and installed through an electronic device and is run. The way in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player can include various ways, for example, the graphical user interface can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or the graphical user interface is provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used for presenting a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game picture, and the processor is used for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0026] In a possible embodiment, the present disclosure provides a game information prompt method, as shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following specific steps:

[0027] Step S102, a graphical user interface is displayed through a terminal device, the terminal device is in communication connection with a gamepad, the graphical user interface includes a game scene, and the game scene includes a target virtual character controlled through the gamepad.

[0028] In a specific implementation, the terminal device can be the local terminal device mentioned above, or a client device in the cloud interaction system mentioned above. For example, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, or the like. The gamepad is usually a component of a common electronic game machine, and controls a virtual character in a game by manipulating the keys and the like. For example, the gamepad can include a cross key, ABXY keys, and physical keys such as a select key and a pause key. The gamepad can be connected to the terminal device through a cable or wireless signals. The terminal device displays a graphical user interface corresponding to a target game by running a game program corresponding to the target game. The target game can be any game. The graphical user interface displays a scene picture corresponding to at least part of a game scene, and the game scene includes a target virtual character that can be controlled by both the gamepad and the terminal device.

[0029] In step S104, in response to the target virtual character entering a target skill casting state in the game scene, the target key position in the gamepad is configured to trigger a skill effect corresponding to the target skill, where the target key position is at least one physical key position in the gamepad, and different physical key positions correspond to triggering different skill effects.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the player can control the target virtual character to enter the target skill casting state in the game scene by triggering a specified key on the terminal device or the gamepad. Alternatively, the player can control the target virtual character to enter the target skill casting state in the game scene when the target virtual character is at a specified position in the game scene or when a game state of the target virtual character in the game scene meets a preset condition. Alternatively, the player can control the target virtual character to enter the target skill casting state in the game scene in other ways, which can be determined according to game rules.

[0031] In actual application, the target skill corresponding to the target virtual character can be determined according to game rules, and the skills corresponding to different virtual characters are usually different. Specifically, the target skill can include at least one of the following: a game skill for controlling the target virtual character to perform an attack behavior, and a game skill for controlling the target virtual character to change a position or a posture. Specifically, the game skill for controlling the target virtual character to perform an attack behavior can be determined according to game rules. Changing the position of the virtual character can be instantaneously changing the position of the virtual character in the game scene, or changing the position of the virtual character in the game scene by a virtual prop. Changing the posture of the virtual character can include, but is not limited to, changing the size of the virtual character, changing the posture, shape, or action of the virtual character, and the like.

[0032] When the target virtual character enters the target skill casting state in the game scene, the target key position in the gamepad is configured to trigger the skill effect corresponding to the target skill. The target key position can be one or more physical key positions in the gamepad. The number of physical key positions included in the target key position can be determined according to the type of skill effect corresponding to the target skill. Generally, the more the types of skill effects, the more the number of physical key positions included in the target key position, and different physical key positions correspond to triggering different skill effects. For example, the target skill is a hook skill, and the skill effect corresponding to the hook skill is to hook the virtual character by the hook. Therefore, the target key position can be one physical key position in the gamepad, and the specific physical key position can be determined according to the preconfigured operation. The target skill is a teleport skill, and the skill effect corresponding to the teleport skill includes teleporting a virtual object to a specified position and canceling teleportation. Therefore, the target key position can be two physical key positions in the gamepad, one physical key position for controlling the teleportation of a virtual object to a specified position, and the other physical key position for canceling teleportation.

[0033] In a specific implementation, the target skill is a skill completed in multiple stages. For example, the first stage triggers a skill prompt for the next operation, that is, triggers the target skill to be in a casting state. The second stage determines the skill effect by operation selection. For example, the target skill is a hook skill, and after the first stage is triggered, the hook is cast to a remote place, so that the hook skill is in a casting state. The second stage is to trigger the hook to shrink, and move the virtual character to the position where the hook is fixed. The target skill is a teleport skill, and after the first stage is triggered, a teleport door is displayed at a preset position, so that the teleport skill is in a casting state. The second stage is to teleport the virtual character, so as to move the virtual character to the position where the teleport door is located, and then teleport the virtual character to a specified position.

[0034] In step S106, the physical layout mode of the at least one physical key position in the gamepad is determined, and the key position identifier corresponding to each physical key position is displayed at a specified position in the graphical user interface based on the physical layout mode, so that the display layout mode of the key position identifier in the graphical user interface is consistent with the physical layout mode of the at least one physical key position in the gamepad.

[0035] Since the key mapping of the existing game is designed according to the physical layout of the keys on the PC keyboard, when the key prompts in the game are displayed on the graphical user interface, the key prompts are always arranged left and right, for example, when the W key and the S key of the keyboard are used for key prompts in the game, the key prompts corresponding to the W key and the S key are displayed left and right, but these keys are all on the right side of the keyboard, and the W key is above the S key. This key prompt method is applied to the key prompts of the gamepad, and the player is difficult to determine the position of the prompted key on the gamepad, which violates the intuitive operation habit of the player. Therefore, the present disclosure is to prompt the keys according to the physical layout of the physical keys in the gamepad, so that the player can accurately locate the position of the key on the gamepad according to the key prompt information.

[0036] Specifically, the physical layout of the physical keys in the gamepad is determined according to the positions of the physical keys in the gamepad and the relative positional relationship between each physical key in the gamepad. In specific implementation, when the target virtual character enters the target skill casting state in the game scene, not only the target key in the gamepad is configured to trigger the skill effect corresponding to the target skill, but also the key identifier corresponding to the target key is displayed at a specified position in the graphical user interface. The display layout of the key identifiers corresponding to each physical key included in the target key in the graphical user interface is consistent with the physical layout of the physical keys included in the target key in the gamepad.

[0037] For example, the target key includes physical key 1 and physical key 2, the physical key 1 is located on the right side of the gamepad, and the physical key 2 is located on the left side of the gamepad. When the key identifier corresponding to the target key is displayed at a specified position in the graphical user interface, the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 1 is displayed on the right side of the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 2, and the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 2 is displayed on the left side of the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 1. The target key includes physical key 3 and physical key 4, the physical key 3 is located above the gamepad, and the physical key 4 is located below the physical key 3. When the key identifier corresponding to the target key is displayed at a specified position in the graphical user interface, the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 3 is displayed above the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 4, and the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 4 is displayed below the key identifier corresponding to the physical key 3. It should be noted that the above-mentioned above can be directly above, or can be diagonally above, and the below can be directly below, or can be diagonally below.

[0038] In actual application, the key position identifier corresponding to each physical key position in the gamepad is set in advance, and is consistent with the logic of the gamepad and the habit of the player. For example, the key position identifier corresponding to the A key in the gamepad can be A, the key position identifier corresponding to the B key can be B, the key position identifier corresponding to the X key can be X, the key position identifier corresponding to the cross key can be +, the key position identifier corresponding to the right trigger can be RT, the key position identifier corresponding to the left trigger can be LT, the key position identifier corresponding to the left front button can be LB, and the key position identifier corresponding to the right front button can be RB.

[0039] In step S108, the corresponding skill effect prompt information is displayed at the associated position of the key position identifier corresponding to each physical key position.

[0040] In specific implementation, the associated position of the key position identifier can be determined according to the research and development requirement, and the associated position can be below, above, left or right of the key position identifier. Since different physical key positions trigger different skill effects, in order to enable the player to understand and distinguish the skill effect corresponding to each physical key position, the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the physical key position needs to be displayed at the same time when the key position identifier corresponding to the physical key position is displayed in the graphical user interface. The skill effect prompt information is used to indicate the skill effect of the target skill corresponding to the corresponding physical key position, and the skill effect prompt information is usually in the form of text.

[0041] In step S110, in response to the trigger operation on the target physical key position in the gamepad, the target virtual character is controlled to cast the target skill in the game scene to generate the skill effect corresponding to the target physical key position in the game scene, wherein the target physical key position is any one of the at least one physical key position.

[0042] In specific implementation, the above target physical key position can be any one of the target key positions in the gamepad related to the target skill. The above trigger operation on the target physical key position can be determined according to the game rules, for example, the trigger operation can be a click operation, a long press operation or a push operation on the target physical key position. When the player triggers the target physical key position in the gamepad, the target virtual character in the game casts the target skill in the game scene, and the skill effect corresponding to the target skill is the same as the skill effect corresponding to the target physical key position.

[0043] The above information prompting method in the game displays the key position identifier corresponding to the physical key position in the gamepad in the graphical user interface according to the physical layout mode of the physical key position, so that the key position mapping is more consistent with the logic of the gamepad, and the player's intuition is avoided.

[0044] The following embodiments are used to describe the way of displaying key position prompt in the graphical user interface.

[0045] Specifically, the specific process that the above-mentioned based on the physical layout mode displays the key position identifiers corresponding to each physical key position at a specified position in the graphical user interface can include: based on the physical layout mode, displaying the key position identifiers corresponding to each physical key position in the graphical user interface with the center position in the graphical user interface as the center; wherein the left side of the center position is used to display the key position identifiers of the physical key positions located on the left side of the gamepad, and the right side of the center position is used to display the key position identifiers of the physical key positions located on the right side of the gamepad.

[0046] In a specific implementation, first, the physical layout mode of the target key position in the gamepad needs to be determined, and then the center position in the graphical user interface is assumed to be the center of the gamepad, so that the key position identifiers of each physical key position contained in the target key position are displayed in the center of the center position according to the physical layout mode, so that there can be key position identifiers displayed on the right side of the center position, there can be key position identifiers displayed on the left side of the center position, and there can be key position identifiers displayed below the center position, etc., so that the display layout mode of the key position identifiers in the graphical user interface is consistent with the physical layout mode of the corresponding physical key position in the gamepad. The center position in the graphical user interface is usually the position of the center point in the graphical user interface.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the physical key positions in the gamepad are divided into multiple categories according to key position positions and key position functions; for example, the physical key positions in the gamepad can be divided into a first category of physical key positions and a second category of physical key positions, wherein which physical key positions are contained in the first category of physical key positions and the second category of physical key positions can be determined according to key position positions and key position functions, or can be determined according to research and development needs. Based on this, the graphical user interface can be divided into multiple display regions in advance, and different display regions are used to display the key position identifiers corresponding to physical key positions of different categories or to display the key position identifiers corresponding to physical key positions of different key position positions. For example, the graphical user interface can be divided into four regions of upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right with the center position or a position below the center position by a certain distance as the center.

[0048] In a specific implementation, when the target key position is a first category of physical key positions in the gamepad, the specific process of displaying the key position identifiers corresponding to each physical key position in the graphical user interface with the center position in the graphical user interface as the center based on the physical layout mode can include: based on the physical layout mode, displaying the key position identifiers of the first category of physical key positions located on the right side of the gamepad on the right side of the center position, and displaying the key position identifiers of the first category of physical key positions located on the left side of the gamepad on the left side of the center position.

[0049] Further, when the target key position further comprises a second type of physical key position in the gamepad, the key position identifier of the second type of physical key position in the gamepad is displayed below the left and right sides of the center position; wherein the key position identifier of the first type of physical key position is used to be displayed above the key position identifier of the second type of physical key position. Specifically, the key position identifier corresponding to the second type of physical key position can be displayed below the left or right side of the center position according to the key position location of the second type of physical key position in the gamepad. At this time, if the key position identifier of the first type of physical key position is displayed in the graphical user interface, the key position identifier of the first type of physical key position is located above the key position identifier of the second type of physical key position.

[0050] In a specific implementation, according to the physical layout mode of the physical key positions contained in the gamepad, all the physical key positions in the gamepad can be divided into two layers, the upper layer is the first type of physical key position, and the lower layer is the second type of physical key position, so that the key position identifier corresponding to the first type of physical key position is displayed above the key position identifier corresponding to the second type of physical key position, so that the key position mapping in the gamepad is more in line with the distribution logic of the key positions in the gamepad, and the player's intuition is avoided.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of displaying key position identifiers in a graphical user interface provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The handle model corresponding to the gamepad is displayed in the lower right corner of FIG. 2. The handle model is usually not displayed in the graphical user interface. Here, in order to facilitate understanding of the relationship between the physical distribution mode of the physical key positions in the gamepad and the layout mode of the key position identifiers displayed in the graphical user interface, the handle model is displayed in the graphical user interface. The two physical key positions displayed at the top of the handle model in FIG. 2 are the left trigger and the right trigger. The physical key position located above the handle model and below the left trigger is the front left button. The physical key position located above the handle model and below the right trigger is the front right button. The four physical key positions are the first type of physical key position. The key position identifiers corresponding to the first type of physical key position are respectively displayed on the left and right sides of the center position. That is, the key position identifier (LB) corresponding to the left trigger and the key position identifier (LT) corresponding to the front left button are displayed on the left side of the center position. The key position identifier (RB) corresponding to the right trigger and the key position identifier (RT) corresponding to the front right button are displayed on the right side of the center position. The second type of physical key position is the physical key position in the gamepad except the first type of physical key position. These physical key positions are all located below the first type of physical key position. The key position identifiers corresponding to the second type of physical key position are also displayed below the key position identifiers corresponding to the first type of physical key position. The second type of physical key position includes Y key, X key, A key, B key, cross key and rocker key in the gamepad. The circular dot in the middle of FIG. 2 is the center of the graphical user interface. The key position identifier in FIG. 2 is the corresponding skill effect prompt information.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, in response to the at least one physical key position including a plurality of first-type physical key positions located on the same side of the gamepad, the control displays the key position identifiers corresponding to the plurality of first-type physical key positions in an up-down arrangement in a position adjacent to the center position; wherein the positional relationship between the adjacent position and the center position matches the key position arrangement of the plurality of first-type physical key positions in the gamepad.

[0053] For example, the target key position includes two first-type physical key positions, and both of the two first-type physical key positions are located on the right side of the gamepad. According to the physical arrangement of the two first-type physical key positions in the gamepad, the key position identifiers corresponding to the two first-type physical key positions are displayed in an up-down arrangement on the right side of the center position. Similarly, if both of the two first-type physical key positions are located on the left side of the gamepad, the key position identifiers corresponding to the two first-type physical key positions are displayed in an up-down arrangement on the left side of the center position according to the physical arrangement of the two first-type physical key positions in the gamepad.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a display diagram of the same-side key position identifiers provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The key position identifiers in FIG. 3 are LB and LT, LB is the key position identifier corresponding to the left trigger in the gamepad, and LT is the key position identifier corresponding to the left front button. The left trigger and the left front button are both located on the left side of the gamepad, and the left trigger is located above the left front button. Therefore, LB and LT are both displayed on the left side of the center position, and LB is displayed above LT. This mode solves the problem of simultaneous display of the same-side key positions. For example, when the physical key positions on the left side of the gamepad are displayed simultaneously, the up-down arrangement is more intuitive for the player. If the existing left-right arrangement logic is used, the player needs to pay more attention when using these physical key positions, thereby increasing the learning cost.

[0055] In another optional embodiment, the physical key position located on the right side of the gamepad in the at least one physical key position is a third-type physical key position, and / or the physical key position located on the right side of the gamepad is a fourth-type physical key position. Based on the physical arrangement mode, the step of displaying the key position identifiers corresponding to the physical key positions with the center position of the graphical user interface as the center in the graphical user interface includes: in response to the third-type physical key position being a plurality of third-type physical key positions, displaying the first-type key position identifiers corresponding to the third-type physical key positions respectively on the right side of the center position according to the physical arrangement mode of the third-type physical key positions on the right side of the gamepad, so that the relative positional relationship between the first-type key position identifiers is consistent with the relative positional relationship between the third-type physical key positions; and / or in response to the fourth-type physical key position being a plurality of fourth-type physical key positions, displaying the second-type key position identifiers corresponding to the fourth-type physical key positions respectively on the right side of the center position according to the physical arrangement mode of the fourth-type physical key positions on the left side of the gamepad, so that the relative positional relationship between the second-type key position identifiers is consistent with the relative positional relationship between the fourth-type physical key positions.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the physical keys in the gamepad can be divided into two categories according to the key positions, including the third category of physical keys on the right side of the gamepad and the fourth category of physical keys on the left side of the gamepad.

[0057] Further, when displaying the first category of key position identifiers corresponding to the third category of physical keys in the graphical user interface, the first category of key position identifiers corresponding to the third category of physical keys can be displayed in an up-down arrangement on the right side of the center position according to the up-down positions of the third category of physical keys in the gamepad; when displaying the first category of key position identifiers corresponding to the fourth category of physical keys in the graphical user interface, the second category of key position identifiers corresponding to the fourth category of physical keys can be displayed in an up-down arrangement on the left side of the center position.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, in response to the key position identifiers and / or skill effect prompt information displayed in the graphical user interface at least partially overlapping with the character model of the target virtual character, the display positions of the key position identifiers and / or skill effect prompt information in the graphical user interface are adjusted according to the position of the character model, so that the key position identifiers and / or skill effect prompt information do not overlap with the character model of the target virtual character. Among them, only the display positions of the overlapping key position identifiers in the graphical user interface can be adjusted, only the display positions of the overlapping skill effect prompt information in the graphical user interface can be adjusted, the display positions of the overlapping key position identifiers in the graphical user interface can be adjusted while the display positions of the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the key position identifiers are adjusted; or the display positions of the overlapping skill effect prompt information in the graphical user interface can be adjusted while the display positions of the key position identifiers corresponding to the skill effect prompt information are adjusted, so as to keep the key position identifiers and the corresponding skill effect prompt information associated with each other.

[0059] In a specific implementation, when the target virtual character enters a special state, the key position identifiers or the skill effect prompt information displayed in the graphical user interface can overlap with the target virtual character, thereby affecting the readability of the display information in the graphical user interface. Among them, the special state can be that the character model corresponding to the target virtual character becomes larger, or the character model using the skill is closer to the center position. At this time, the present disclosure can dynamically adjust the display positions of the key position identifiers and / or the skill effect prompt information according to the position of the character model, so that the player can quickly identify the key position prompt in these special states and improve the game experience.

[0060] In actual application, in order to ensure that the key position mark and the skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model of the target virtual character, the key position mark can be offset on the basis of the original physical layout mode. Specifically, in response to the fact that the first key position mark in the key position mark is at least partially overlapped with the character model of the target virtual character, the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information corresponding to the first key position mark are controlled to be offset in a direction away from the center position, so that the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model; and / or, in response to the fact that the second skill effect prompt information in the skill effect prompt information is at least partially overlapped with the character model of the target virtual character, the second key position mark corresponding to the second skill effect prompt information and the second skill effect prompt information are controlled to be offset in a direction away from the center position, so that the second key position mark and the second skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model.

[0061] In specific implementation, the key position mark and the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the key position mark are offset simultaneously, that is, the positional relationship between the key position mark and the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the key position mark is kept unchanged. When the key position mark is offset, the display layout mode of the key position mark displayed in the graphical user interface is still kept consistent with the physical layout mode of the corresponding physical key position in the gamepad, so that the player does not need to spend too much effort when using the physical key position.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the specific process of the above-mentioned process of, in response to the fact that the first key position mark in the key position mark is at least partially overlapped with the character model of the target virtual character, controlling the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information corresponding to the first key position mark to be offset in a direction away from the center position, so that the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model, can include: in response to the fact that the character model of the target virtual character is located on the right side of the center position and the first key position mark is displayed on the right side of the center position, the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information corresponding to the first key position mark are offset to the right side of the center position, so that the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model; and / or, in response to the fact that the character model of the target virtual character is located on the left side of the center position and the first key position mark is displayed on the left side of the center position, the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information corresponding to the first key position mark are offset to the left side of the center position, so that the first key position mark and the first skill effect prompt information are not overlapped with the character model.

[0063] In the optional embodiment, in response to the second skill effect prompt information in the skill effect prompt information having at least partial overlap with the role model of the target virtual role, the specific process of controlling the second key position identifier corresponding to the second skill effect prompt information and the second skill effect prompt information to be offset in the direction away from the center position so as to make the second key position identifier and the second skill effect prompt information not overlap with the role model can include: in response to the role model of the target virtual role being located on the right side of the center position and the second skill effect prompt information being displayed on the right side of the center position, offsetting the second skill effect prompt information and the second key position identifier corresponding to the second skill effect prompt information to the right side of the center position so as to make the second skill effect prompt information and the second key position identifier not overlap with the role model; in response to the role model of the target virtual role being located on the left side of the center position and the second skill effect prompt information being displayed on the left side of the center position, offsetting the second skill effect prompt information and the second key position identifier corresponding to the second skill effect prompt information to the left side of the center position so as to make the second skill effect prompt information and the second key position identifier not overlap with the role model.

[0064] In the specific implementation, since there are more prompt information around the crosshair in some games, it is necessary to offset the key position identifier overlapping with the role model and the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the key position identifier in the direction away from the center position. When there are key position prompt information (here, the key position prompt information includes the key position identifier and the skill effect information corresponding to the key position identifier) on both sides of the center position, depending on which side the role model blocks, when the role model is on the left side of the center position, there is a higher probability that the left side key position prompt information is blocked, and in this case, it is only necessary to offset the left side key position prompt information. Similarly, if the role model is biased to the right side of the center position, there is a higher probability that the right side key position prompt information is blocked, and in this case, it is only necessary to offset the right side key position prompt information.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram of key position prompt information offset provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the role model in the left image in FIG. 4 overlaps with the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the two key position identifiers displayed on the left side of the center position, and in this case, it is necessary to keep the original display layout and control the two key position identifiers and the skill effect prompt information corresponding to the two key position identifiers to be offset to the left as a whole so as to make the displayed key position identifier and the skill effect prompt information not overlap with the role model, as shown in the right image in FIG. 4.

[0066] In the above manner, when the key position identifiers corresponding to the physical keys on the same side of the gamepad are displayed at the same time, the key position identifiers corresponding to the physical keys on the same side are arranged in an up-down order according to the physical layout sequence of the gamepad, thereby reducing the learning cost of the player during operation. Meanwhile, when the character model overlaps the key position prompt, the key position prompt is offset away from the direction of the center position, so as to avoid the character model, thereby enabling the player to quickly identify the key position prompt and improving the game experience of the player.
