Cloud Game Interface Information Overlay

Solution Overview

Problem

Players face difficulties in accessing necessary information during cloud games as they must exit the game to search for it, disrupting their gaming experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display a cloud game interface, acquire associated contents through a preset data channel upon a trigger operation, and present them on a designated area within the interface, allowing information retrieval without leaving the game.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If players exit the game to search for information, then information can be accessed, but gaming experience is disrupted and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidgaming time

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the information search function with the cloud game interface by integrating a search bar and presentation area directly into the game display. This allows players to access strategy information, video guides, and player profiles without exiting the game, combining gaming and information retrieval into a single continuous experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud game interface is enhanced with multi-functionality by adding search capabilities, information presentation areas, and data channel connections within the same interface. The system serves both as a gaming platform and an information access point, eliminating the need to switch between different applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If players exit the game to search for information, then information can be accessed, but gaming experience is affected

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidgaming experience

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the information search function with the cloud game interface by integrating a search bar and presentation area directly into the game display. This allows players to access strategy information, video guides, and player profiles without exiting the game, combining gaming and information retrieval into a single continuous experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary data channel that connects the cloud game interface with information sources. This mediator enables seamless information retrieval through the game interface without requiring players to leave the gaming environment, thus preserving gaming experience while providing information access.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If players exit the game to search for information, then information can be accessed, but difficulty of information retrieval increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinformation retrieval process

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the information search function with the cloud game interface by integrating a search bar and presentation area directly into the game display. This allows players to access strategy information, video guides, and player profiles without exiting the game, combining gaming and information retrieval into a single continuous experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing data channels and preparing information presentation areas within the game interface. When players need information, it is already positioned for immediate display, eliminating the need to exit the game and simplifying the retrieval process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
