Auto Chess Prompt Special Effect Display Method

Solution Overview

Problem

In auto chess games, players face challenges in effectively prompting their opponents during the preparation phase, which is crucial for improving game strategy and human-computer interaction efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A special effect display method and apparatus that displays a prompt special effect for the interactive opponent only when the preparation interface does not contain obstructions, allowing users to quickly enter an observation interface by triggering the prompt special effect, thereby enhancing the display of interactive opponents and improving human-computer interaction efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a prompt special effect is displayed for the interactive opponent during the preparation phase, then the opponent can be effectively prompted and human-computer interaction efficiency is improved, but the preparation interface may contain obstructions that shield the prompt special effect, causing the opponent to miss important strategy prompts

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestrategy prompt informationVSAvoidinterface obstruction shielding

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to check whether the preparation interface contains obstructions before displaying the prompt special effect. This preliminary action ensures that the prompt information is not shielded and can be effectively perceived by the opponent, thereby preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary detection mechanism that acts as a mediator between the preparation interface and the prompt special effect display. This intermediary checks for obstructions and controls the timing of the prompt display, ensuring that the prompt information reaches the opponent without being shielded by interface elements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the preparation interface contains obstructions that shield the prompt special effect, then the interface elements serve their primary functions, but the prompt special effect cannot be displayed, causing the opponent to miss important strategy prompts

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterface element functionalityVSAvoidstrategy prompt information

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to check whether the preparation interface contains obstructions before displaying the prompt special effect. This preliminary action ensures that the prompt information is not shielded and can be effectively perceived by the opponent, thereby preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the display timing of the prompt special effect based on the presence of obstructions. When obstructions are detected, the system delays or adjusts the prompt display until the obstruction is removed, ensuring that the prompt information is displayed at an appropriate moment when it can be effectively perceived.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If the prompt special effect is displayed without checking for obstructions, then the display process is simple and fast, but the opponent may miss the prompt due to shielding, reducing interaction efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay process speedVSAvoidstrategy prompt information

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to check whether the preparation interface contains obstructions before displaying the prompt special effect. This preliminary action ensures that the prompt information is not shielded and can be effectively perceived by the opponent, thereby preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors the preparation interface for obstructions and adjusts the prompt display timing accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the prompt information is displayed only when the interface is clear, preventing information loss while maintaining efficient interaction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A special effect display method includes: displaying a preparation interface of a first round of a game match, multiple contestants in the game match being displayed in the preparation interface; determining an interactive opponent of the first round from the multiple contestants in response to the first round being an opponent round which is an interactive round between the contestants; displaying, in response to that the preparation interface does not contain an obstruction, a prompt special effect for the interactive opponent, the prompt special effect prompting the matched interactive opponent in the first round, and the obstruction referring to an interface element capable of shielding the prompt special effect; and in response to a trigger operation on the prompt special effect switching from the preparation interface to an observation interface for the interactive opponent in a second round which is observed from a perspective of the interactive opponent.
