Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile game skill emission methods are limited, as they often restrict skill direction and distance to a single setting, leading to inaccurate selections, low efficiency, and poor user experience, especially on small screens and two-handed devices.

Innovation Solution

A method that calculates the distance between a touch point and a control in real-time, adjusting the direction and distance of skill emission based on the touch point's position, allowing for customizable skill emission and reducing finger movement, thereby improving accuracy and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single fixed setting is used for skill emission direction and distance, then the control logic is simple, but the skill emission accuracy is low and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill emission accuracyVSAvoidcontrol logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of skill emission parameters by tracking the moving distance and direction of the touch point relative to the control element. As the user drags the touch point, the system continuously updates the emission direction and distance based on the displacement from the control's initial position, transforming a static single-setting system into a dynamic multi-setting system that adapts to user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the emission parameters (direction and distance) based on the touch point's movement. By calculating the angle and distance between the control element and the touch point at different positions, the system dynamically adjusts skill emission parameters to match user intent, improving precision without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If fixed skill emission distance is used, then the operation process is simple, but misoperations occur frequently and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill emission efficiencyVSAvoidoperation process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback by calculating and applying the distance between the control element and the touch point during dragging operations. This feedback mechanism allows the system to automatically adjust the emission distance based on user input, reducing misoperations while maintaining operational simplicity through automatic adaptation rather than manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment of emission parameters by automatically calculating the touch point displacement and using it to determine skill emission characteristics. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure complex parameters, allowing the system to serve itself in determining optimal emission settings based on observed user behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If single direction setting is used for skill emission, then the control mechanism is simple, but the skill emission versatility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill emission versatilityVSAvoidcontrol mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static single-direction control into a dynamic multi-directional system by tracking the touch point's movement trajectory. As users drag the touch point in different directions, the system dynamically adjusts the skill emission direction based on the angle calculated from the control element to the touch point, enabling versatile directional control without requiring multiple fixed control elements or complex configuration mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
