Floating Window Reference Display for Strategy Game Formation Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for arranging formations in strategy games require switching between template and scene interfaces, leading to low efficiency and reduced communication efficiency between game players and reference content.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for displaying reference content, where a first interface is displayed with multiple second interfaces as floating windows, allowing users to select and overlay the desired reference content for improved viewing and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If switching between formation template interface and formation scene interface is used to arrange formation, then reference content can be accessed, but the efficiency of arranging formation is reduced and communication efficiency between game player and reference content is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the formation template interface and formation scene interface into a single integrated interface. The reference content display area shows formation templates while the formation arrangement area allows players to arrange formations, both visible simultaneously without requiring interface switching. This combines multiple functions into one unified interface, eliminating the need to switch between separate interfaces and improving both time efficiency and communication efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a sequential interface switching model to a spatial coexistence model by displaying reference content and formation arrangement areas side-by-side or in overlapping regions. This dimensional change allows players to access reference content and arrange formations in different spatial zones of the same interface simultaneously, eliminating the time loss associated with switching between interfaces.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple reference contents are displayed separately, then comprehensive reference information is provided, but the interface complexity increases and ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested layout where the reference content display area is positioned within or adjacent to the formation arrangement area. The reference content area may be nested within the broader interface structure, allowing players to access reference information while remaining in the context of the formation arrangement task. This nesting approach provides comprehensive reference content without requiring players to navigate to separate interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the interface into distinct functional areas: a reference content display area for showing formation templates and a formation arrangement area for arranging formations. These segmented areas are arranged spatially within the same interface, allowing players to easily access both functions without increasing overall interface complexity. The segmentation organizes information logically while maintaining ease of operation through clear spatial separation.

AI summary
A method and device for displaying reference content, and a storage medium thereof are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes displaying a first interface in response to an operation of enabling the first interface; displaying multiple second interfaces on the first interface in a form of floating window in response to an operation of enabling reference content, the multiple second interfaces including different reference content respectively; and displaying, in response to an operation of selecting a second interface from the multiple second interfaces, the selected second interface on the first interface in an overlaying manner. The formation arranging efficiency and communication efficiency between game players and the reference content can be improved by the above technical solution.
