[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510039575.2, filed on January 9, 2025, entitled “Method, Apparatus and Electronic Device for Displaying Game Information”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of game technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information. Background Technology

[0004] Game systems typically include a list of game tasks. This list, displayed on the game interface, provides details about the tasks, their execution interface, and rewards. However, this method provides limited information, leading to low completion rates and a waste of game resources. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method, apparatus and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information, so as to improve the task completion rate and make full use of game resources.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for controlling the display of game information, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The method includes: generating an information display area in the graphical user interface in response to an event triggering command; determining a game event to be displayed and a game task contained in the game event; wherein the game task is associated with at least one segment of event plot information of the game event; and displaying abbreviated event information of the game event in the information display area based on the task completion progress of the game task and the event plot information associated with the game task.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Figure 1 shows one way of displaying a task list in related technologies.

[0026] The task list includes four tasks, each with task content, task completion progress, task completion reward, and a reward claiming control. Taking the first task as an example, the task content is "Complete all 10 dungeons," the task completion progress is 7, meaning 7 dungeons have been completed, with 3 remaining; the task completion reward is 150 diamonds, and the reward claiming control displays the word "Claim."

[0027] The task information provided by the above methods is relatively limited. Based on this limited information, players may not be interested in completing the tasks, resulting in a low task completion rate and a waste of game resources. Therefore, this disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying and controlling game information, which can be applied to various types of games, such as games with set game tasks.

[0028] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game information display control method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game information display control method runs on a 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.

[0029] 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 and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of game information display control methods 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides a method for controlling the display of game information, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2, the method for controlling the display of game information includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S202: In response to the event triggering command, an information display area is generated in the graphical user interface;

[0034] The event trigger command can be generated by triggering a preset event trigger control, or by triggering a shortcut key, etc. In this embodiment, game tasks are divided into game events. The game system has one or more game events, and each game event contains one or more game tasks. The game tasks contained in different game events can be the same, different, or partially the same.

[0035] The game event can be a reconnaissance event, a war event, a suspense event, etc. It can be used to explain the background, clues, and results of the game tasks contained in the game event. When a game event includes multiple game tasks, it can be divided into multiple event plots. Different game tasks correspond to different event plots, and the event plots provide players with the background, clues, and results of the corresponding game tasks.

[0036] After the event trigger command is generated, an information display area is created in the graphical user interface. This information display area is used to display relevant information about the game event so that players can understand the game event and be guided to complete the relevant game tasks.

[0037] Step S204: Determine the game event to be displayed and the game task contained in the game event; wherein, the game task is associated with at least one piece of event plot information of the game event;

[0038] The game event is pre-set in the game system. When the game system sets multiple game events, the aforementioned game event to be displayed can be all the set game events or only some of the set game events. When only some game events are to be displayed, some game events can be selected as the game events to be displayed according to the preset order of the game events. For example, according to the unlocking order of the game events, some game events that were unlocked earlier can be selected as the game events to be displayed. Alternatively, some game events can be selected as the game events to be displayed according to the current game account's completion status of game tasks. For example, according to the completion progress of game tasks, some game events with lower completion progress can be selected as the game events to be displayed.

[0039] The game tasks included in a game event are pre-set, meaning there is a predetermined correspondence between game events and game tasks. In this case, the game tasks included in the game event are relatively certain. Alternatively, the game tasks included in a game event can be randomly determined. For example, when different game accounts access the same game event, the game tasks included in that game event may be different.

[0040] When a game event consists of only one game task, that task is associated with all the event's plot information; that is, the background, clues, and outcome of the task constitute the complete plot information of the game event. When a game event includes multiple game tasks, each task is associated with a portion of the event's plot information. If the game tasks have a sequential order, the partial plot information corresponding to the multiple tasks is arranged sequentially according to that order to form the complete plot information of the game event.

[0041] In one example, the game event includes two game tasks, Game Task A and Game Task B. The event plot information associated with Game Task A is "Surgeon Xiao Wang has gone missing. To find Xiao Wang, we need to go to the Secret Island to obtain the key." The event plot information associated with Game Task B is "After obtaining the key, we need to use it to open the castle gate and engage in a life-or-death battle with the gatekeeper monster." In this example, the event plot information associated with Game Task A provides the background, clues, and mission objective of Game Task A; the event plot information associated with Game Task B is continuous with that of Game Task A, providing clues and mission objective for Game Task B.

[0042] Step S206: Based on the progress of the game task and the event plot information associated with the game task, display the event abbreviation information of the game event in the information display area.

[0043] The completion progress of a game task can specifically refer to the number of completed and incomplete game tasks within that game event, or it can indicate which game events within that event have been completed and which have not. The completion progress can also be the progress of each individual game task; for example, game task A has a completion progress of 50%, game task B has a completion progress of 40%, and so on.

[0044] In the preceding steps, an information display area has been generated in the graphical user interface. This information display area is used to display event summary information of game events. This summary information is based on the event plot information associated with the game tasks within the game event. For example, partial information is extracted from the event plot information as the event summary information, or the event plot information is briefly summarized as the event summary information.

[0045] In addition, when determining event summary information, it is also necessary to consider the completion progress of the game tasks, extract or obtain event summary information from the event plot information of completed game tasks, or extract or obtain event summary information from the event plot information of uncompleted game tasks, etc.

[0046] The aforementioned information display area can display the event thumbnail information of one game event or the event thumbnail information of multiple game events; for example, when there are multiple game events to be displayed, multiple information display areas can be generated in the graphical user interface, and each information display area displays the event thumbnail information of one game event.

[0047] The aforementioned method for controlling the display of game information provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. In response to an event trigger command, an information display area is generated in the graphical user interface. The game event to be displayed and the game task contained in the game event are determined. The game task is associated with at least one piece of event plot information of the game event. Based on the task completion progress of the game task and the event plot information associated with the game task, the event abbreviated information of the game event is displayed in the information display area.

[0048] In this method, game tasks within game events are associated with event story information. When an event trigger command is generated, event summary information is displayed based on the task completion progress and the event story information associated with the task. This allows players to intuitively understand the event situation and guides them to select events of interest and complete related tasks through event summary information, thereby improving the task completion rate and making full use of game resources.

[0049] In one implementation, based on the task completion progress of the game task, the target task to be completed is determined from the game tasks contained in the game event; based on the event plot information associated with the target task, the event abbreviated information of the game event is displayed in the information display area.

[0050] The aforementioned task completion progress indicates whether each game task in a game event has been completed. For example, game task A is completed, game task B is not completed, and game task C is not completed. The target task to be completed is usually a game task that is completely or partially incomplete. In one example, both game tasks B and C are incomplete; game task B, which is listed earlier, can be designated as the target task to be completed. Once game task B is completed, game task C becomes the target task to be completed.

[0051] If the event story information associated with the target task is limited, it can be used as a summary of the game event. If the event story information associated with the target task is extensive, some information can be extracted as a summary, such as the first two sentences of the event story information. Alternatively, the event story information associated with the target task can be summarized and generalized to obtain a summary of the event.

[0052] Furthermore, specific local information is obtained from the event plot information associated with the target task; the specified local information is identified as the event abbreviation information of the game event, and the event abbreviation information is displayed in the information display area.

[0053] The specified local information is a portion of the event plot information associated with the target task. Specifically, the specified local information is information located at a specified position in the event plot information associated with the target task, such as the first two sentences or the first 100 words.

[0054] In the above method, based on the event plot information of the target task, the event summary information of the game event is displayed in the information display area. The task information in the game event is shown to the player through the event summary information, which provides the player with more detailed and vivid task information, which can improve the task completion rate and make full use of game resources.

[0055] In actual implementation, the above information display area includes: a text information sub-area; displaying event abbreviation information of game events in the text information sub-area; wherein, the event abbreviation information is text information; and displaying a specified symbol in the empty space after displaying the event abbreviation information in the text information sub-area.

[0056] In the example of Figure 3, the graphical user interface displays two game events, each corresponding to an information display area. The aforementioned text information sub-area is located within this information display area. The text information sub-area displays a thumbnail of the game event. Since this thumbnail does not fill the entire sub-area, a period (.) is displayed at the control position following the thumbnail. This period can also be other symbols, graphics, etc. For example, the period could include text information with a blurred effect. Because of this blurred effect, the player may find it difficult to see the specific content of the text information, but they will know that there is other event information following the event thumbnail, thus guiding their interest in viewing the game event.

[0057] By displaying a specified symbol, indicating that the event summary does not show the complete information of the game event, players are guided to the event details page to view further information and complete the task. In particular, setting the specified symbol to text with a blurring effect can further stimulate players' interest in viewing player information, increasing the probability of players viewing game events and completing game tasks.

[0058] In another implementation, the aforementioned information display area includes: an event-triggered sub-area; in response to an event viewing command for the event-triggered sub-area, the game tasks associated with the game event and the event plot information associated with the target task to be completed are displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0059] This event-triggered sub-region is a different sub-region from the aforementioned text display sub-region within the information display area. Of course, the event-triggered sub-region and the text display sub-region can overlap or partially overlap. This event-triggered sub-region is used to respond to event viewing commands, such as executing click, double-click, mouse click, or mouse double-click operations on the event-triggered sub-region, thereby generating the aforementioned event viewing commands.

[0060] After generating the event viewing command, the event details page of the game event can be displayed, which will show the game tasks associated with the game event, as well as the event plot information associated with the target tasks to be completed.

[0061] In the example in Figure 4, this game event is associated with two game tasks. The event details page displays the task content, task progress, task completion reward, and task execution control for each game task. Taking task 2 as an example, the task content is to defeat 50 enemies, the task progress is 9, the task completion reward is 100 gold coins, and the task execution control is a control displaying the word "Go". By triggering the task execution control, you can jump to the team page, task preparation page, or game scene where you want to execute the game task.

[0062] As shown in Figure 4, the event details page also displays event plot information related to the target task. Compared with the aforementioned event summary information, the event plot information can provide a more complete event plot as well as background, clues and other information related to the target task.

[0063] Furthermore, the aforementioned event triggering sub-region includes at least one of the following: an event image associated with the game event, the task completion progress of the game task, and an event viewing identifier; wherein, the event viewing identifier is used to indicate that an event viewing instruction is generated by performing a specified operation on the event triggering sub-region.

[0064] Referring to Figure 3, the event trigger sub-area in Figure 3 fully includes the event image, task completion progress, and event viewing indicator; the event viewing indicator is an indicator that displays the words "View Event".

[0065] It should be noted that the event viewing indicator is used to prompt players to generate event viewing commands. The command can be generated by triggering any location within the event trigger sub-area; for example, triggering the event image or the bar area containing the event viewing indicator will both generate the command. The specified operation can be a click, double-click, swipe, mouse click, mouse double-click, mouse swipe, etc.

[0066] In one implementation, a first special effect is displayed at the location of the event viewing indicator. This first effect indicates that an event viewing command is generated by performing a specified operation applied to the event trigger sub-area. The first effect can be a glowing effect, a flashing effect, a light wave movement effect, etc. In Figure 3, the event viewing indicator is displayed in a bar-shaped area. A light wave effect moving from left to right can be displayed at this location to indicate to the player that the event trigger sub-area can be triggered. By attracting the player's attention with the first effect, the player is guided to perform the operation and generate the aforementioned event viewing command, thereby increasing the completion rate of the game task within the event.

[0067] Additionally, in response to a trigger command applied to the event image, a first animation related to the event image is played at the image's display location. This first animation can be a Spine animation or an animation of other formats. It enhances visual effects, provides players with animation information related to the event, and further enriches the event information.

[0068] For example, click operations and mouse hover operations can be performed on the event image to generate trigger commands for that event image. Referring to Figure 3, when the mouse hovers over the event image on the right, an animation of a person skateboarding in the event image can be played.

[0069] In one implementation, in response to having viewing permissions for a game event but not yet generating an event viewing instruction corresponding to the game event, a first prompt identifier is displayed in the event trigger sub-area; wherein, the first prompt identifier is used to indicate: having viewing permissions for the game event but not yet generating an event viewing instruction corresponding to the game event.

[0070] This can be understood as follows: when a game event has viewing permissions, but the current game account has not viewed the event details page, this first prompt icon is displayed. When there are multiple game events in the game system, and the unlocking times of the game events are not uniform, when a game event unlocks viewing permissions, but the current game account has not performed any action to generate the aforementioned event viewing command, the first prompt icon can be displayed to indicate that completing the game event is a newly unlocked game event, and the game event has not yet been viewed.

[0071] As shown in Figure 3, in the game event information display area on the right, the event trigger sub-area displays a first prompt icon with the word "New". This method notifies players of newly unlocked game events, guiding them to view these events as soon as possible and increasing the completion rate of game tasks within those events.

[0072] Furthermore, the aforementioned game task includes multiple sub-tasks and task relationships between the multiple sub-tasks; in response to at least one sub-task in the game task being completed and the task relationship being an OR relationship, it is determined that the game task has been completed.

[0073] A game mission can include a single task, such as Mission 1 in Figure 5, which only includes the task of "triggering 5 portals". Completing this task will earn corresponding rewards. A game mission can also include multiple sub-tasks. The relationship between multiple sub-tasks can be AND, OR, or other relationships.

[0074] When multiple subtasks are related by an OR condition, completing one subtask in a game task will complete the game task and grant the task's reward. For example, Task 2 in Figure 5 includes two subtasks: "Defeat 50 enemies" and "Take 30 points of damage." Completing either subtask completes the game task; conversely, completing both subtasks also completes the game task.

[0075] If multiple subtasks are connected by an AND relationship, then each subtask in the game task needs to be completed before it can be determined that the game task has been completed.

[0076] The above method increases the player's freedom in choosing tasks, allowing players to select sub-tasks that interest them or have a higher success rate, thereby increasing the completion rate of game tasks.

[0077] In response to an incomplete game task, a task execution control associated with the game task is displayed; in response to a trigger command for the task execution control, the task execution page of the game task is displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0078] Each game task is associated with a task execution control, which can be the "Go" control shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5. Activating this control redirects the player to the task's execution page. This page can specifically include the task-related team-up page, match preparation page, or game scene screen. By associating with the task execution control, players can quickly start game tasks, further improving their completion rate.

[0079] In one implementation, in response to a game event where a first task has been completed and the corresponding task reward has not yet been claimed, a second prompt icon is displayed in the information display area; wherein, the second prompt icon is used to indicate that there is an unclaimed task reward in the game event.

[0080] Referring to Figure 3, the second prompt is indicated by an exclamation mark (!"), but it can also be other symbols or words. This second prompt guides players to the event details page of the game event to claim their rewards.

[0081] As shown in Figure 4, after entering the event details page, a reward notification icon is displayed in association with the first task for which the task reward has not yet been claimed. This reward notification icon can be the same as or different from the aforementioned second notification icon. In the example in Figure 4, the reward notification icon is also a "!" symbol, indicating that task 1 has been completed, that is, task 1 is the aforementioned first task, but the task reward has not been claimed.

[0082] On the event details page, you can save the reward for triggering the first task to your current game account. As shown in Figure 4, click the "150 Diamonds" control to save 150 diamonds to your current game account.

[0083] In the above method, displaying a prompt indicating the task reward in the information display area can incentivize players to claim the task reward, increase their interest in completing the task, and thus improve the completion rate of game tasks.

[0084] In actual implementation, based on preset time conditions, it is determined whether the game event has viewing permission; if the game event has viewing permission, based on the task completion progress of the game task and the event plot information associated with the game task, the event abbreviated information is displayed in the information display area.

[0085] Viewing permissions for game events include both locked and unlocked states. When the view option is "unlocked," the player has viewing permissions for the game event and can view its event details page. When the game event is "unlocked," the player does not have viewing permissions for the game event and cannot view its event details page.

[0086] In this embodiment, when a game event meets a preset time condition, the game event has viewing permission. For example, the time condition is a specific time point, such as 00:00 on December 31st. When the current time reaches that time point, it can be understood that the game event meets the event condition. At this time, the viewing permission of the game event is switched from never being unlocked to being unlocked.

[0087] When a game system includes multiple game events, different game events can be set with the same event conditions or different event conditions. For example, multiple game events are arranged in sequence, and each event unlocks an event condition. For example, the time condition for event A is 00:00 on December 20, the time condition for event B is 00:00 on December 21, and the event condition for event C is 00:00 on December 22.

[0088] Furthermore, the system does not have viewing permissions in response to game events. Instead, it displays a specified symbol in the text information sub-area of ​​the information display area and displays a first image associated with the game event in the event trigger sub-area of ​​the information display area. The first image contains at least some edge information of the event image associated with the game event. When the event trigger sub-area displays the first image, the event trigger sub-area does not respond to the event viewing command.

[0089] When a player lacks viewing permissions for a game event, relevant information needs to be provided to prevent them from performing unnecessary actions. Referring to Figure 6, the game event on the right lacks viewing permissions. In the information display area for this game event, the text information sub-area only displays the specified symbol, not the event's abbreviation. Of course, other symbols, such as blurred text shapes, can also be displayed in this text information sub-area.

[0090] Comparing Figure 3 and Figure 6, the first image in Figure 6 does not clearly show the character's appearance, while in Figure 3, when the game event has viewing permissions, the event image clearly shows the character's appearance. The first image only includes partial edge information of the character in the event image, such as the edge of the head and the edge of the arms. Additionally, a "Not Locked" message is displayed below the first image to further inform the player that the game event cannot be viewed.

[0091] In one approach, in response to the first event trigger command after gaining viewing permission for a game event, a specified symbol is displayed in the text information sub-area of ​​the information display area, and a first image associated with the game event is displayed in the event trigger sub-area of ​​the information display area; a second special effect is played in the text information sub-area, and after the second special effect finishes playing, the specified symbol in the control section is switched to display as a thumbnail of the game event; a third special effect is played in the event trigger sub-area, and after the third special effect finishes playing, the first image is switched to display as an event image associated with the game event.

[0092] Based on Figure 6, when a game event does not have viewing permissions, the text information sub-area displays the specified symbol, and the event trigger sub-area displays the first image. At this time, after the game event is unlocked, the game event has viewing permissions. When the player refreshes the page or enters the page, since the game event has not generated an event trigger command, that is, the player has not viewed the game event, the text information sub-area of ​​the game event still displays the specified symbol, and the event trigger sub-area still displays the first image.

[0093] To attract players' attention to the newly unlocked game event, special effects are played. The aforementioned second effect could be a starlight effect, a brushstroke effect, etc., and the aforementioned third effect could be an image page-turning effect, an image fade-in / fade-out effect, etc. After the second effect finishes playing, based on the specified symbol, a thumbnail of the event information is displayed in the text information sub-area; after the third effect finishes playing, based on the first image, the event image is displayed in the event trigger sub-area, that is, the visual effect of Figure 6 is transformed into the visual effect of Figure 3. Then, a first prompt icon with the word "New" is also displayed.

[0094] By using the methods described above, we can increase players' attention to newly unlocked game events, guide players to view these events, and improve the completion rate of tasks related to these events.

[0095] In other methods, in response to a task display instruction, a task list page is displayed on the graphical user interface; the task list page includes: game tasks contained in the game event, and trigger controls for the event trigger instruction; in response to the existence of a completed second task in the game event, and the corresponding task reward has not yet been claimed, a third prompt indicator is displayed in association with the trigger control; the third prompt indicator is used to indicate that there is an unclaimed task reward in the game event.

[0096] The task list page includes various game tasks in the game system. Therefore, the task list page includes the game tasks contained in the aforementioned game events. The task list page is mainly used to view various game tasks, game execution progress, and task completion rewards. In this embodiment, the task list page includes a trigger control. By triggering the trigger control, the aforementioned event triggering command can be generated, thereby generating an information display area in the graphical user interface and displaying event thumbnail information.

[0097] In addition, in order to guide players to the page displaying event thumbnail information and to perform game tasks, when there is a completed game task in the game event, and the task reward of the game task has not yet been claimed, i.e. the second task mentioned above, a third prompt icon is displayed in association with the trigger control. The third prompt icon can be a "!" symbol, or other symbols or graphics.

[0098] By associating a third prompt icon with a trigger control to remind players to claim their task rewards, players can be guided from the task list page to a page displaying event summary information. From there, they can perform other game tasks, thus increasing the completion rate of game tasks.

[0099] In another implementation, in response to an event trigger command, an event reward identifier for the game event is displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the identifier content of the event reward identifier is used to indicate: the reward obtained when all game tasks in the game event are completed; the identifier display status of the event reward identifier is used to indicate: whether the game event has viewing permission, or whether the game event has viewing permission but has not yet generated an event viewing command corresponding to the game event.

[0100] As described in the foregoing embodiments, after generating the event trigger command, an information display area is generated in the graphical user interface (GUI) and the event thumbnail information is displayed. In this embodiment, the GUI also displays event reward icons. In the example of Figure 3, there are a total of 5 event reward icons, corresponding to 5 game events; the current GUI displays the information display areas corresponding to two game events, and the information display areas for other game events can be displayed by triggering the switching control.

[0101] The event reward icon can contain the reward name, reward image, etc., indicating the reward obtained upon completion of the game event, such as items, coins, diamonds, etc. The display status of the event reward icon indicates whether the game event has viewing permissions. For example, when viewing permissions are not unlocked, the icon may be in a grayscale state, as shown in the last two event reward icons in Figure 3. When viewing permissions are unlocked, the icon may be in a non-grayscale state, as shown in the first three event reward icons in Figure 3.

[0102] Additionally, the indicator display status can also simultaneously indicate that the game event has viewing permissions but has not yet generated a corresponding event viewing command. For example, when the game event has unlocked viewing permissions but has not yet generated a corresponding event viewing command, meaning the player has not yet viewed the event details page of the game event, the indicator display status can be in a highlighted format; when the game event has unlocked viewing permissions and has generated an event viewing command, meaning the player has viewed the event details page of the game event, the indicator display status can be in a normal brightness format.

[0103] Specifically, if a third task has been completed in the game event and the corresponding task reward has not yet been claimed, a fourth notification icon will be displayed in association with the event reward icon; the fourth notification icon is used to indicate that there is an unclaimed task reward in the game event.

[0104] Referring to Figure 3, the third event reward icon in Figure 3 is associated with a fourth prompt icon with an exclamation mark (!"), indicating that there are unclaimed task rewards in this game event. This guides players to view the details page of this game event, thereby increasing the completion rate of other game tasks in this game event.

[0105] Among the above methods, event reward indicators can further incentivize players to complete game tasks within game events, thereby increasing the completion rate of game tasks.

[0106] In other methods, the game events to be displayed are determined from the candidate events according to the order in which the viewing permissions of the candidate events are released; wherein, the order in which the permissions are released is determined based on the time conditions corresponding to the candidate events.

[0107] The alternative events are pre-set game events in the game system, and the permission release order for each alternative event is set, as shown in Figure 3. There are a total of 5 alternative events, each corresponding to an event reward icon. However, only two game events are confirmed to be displayed in Figure 3, while the remaining 3 alternative events have not yet been displayed. In the permission release order, the game event on the left in Figure 3 is in the first position, the game event on the right is in the second position, and the remaining 3 undisplayed alternative events are in the third, fourth, and fifth positions, respectively.

[0108] Based on the permission release order, the first two candidate events in that order are selected as the game events to be displayed, and their event thumbnails are shown in the graphical user interface. The event thumbnails of the remaining three candidate events can be displayed by triggering a toggle control.

[0109] Unlocking viewing permissions for alternative events requires meeting time conditions. In one approach, the order of permission release can be determined based on the time conditions corresponding to the events. For example, the time conditions include the time points when viewing permissions are unlocked, and the order of permission release is determined according to the order of these time points.

[0110] In response to an event update command, update the game event to be displayed from the candidate events, and display the event abbreviation information of the updated game event in the information display area.

[0111] The event update command can be generated using the switching control shown in Figure 3. After generating the event update command, alternative events that are not currently displayed can be shown. For example, Figure 3 shows two game events. After generating the event update command, the graphical user interface switches to display the remaining three alternative events. These three alternative events are the updated game events to be displayed.
