Solution Overview

Problem

The existing parameter configuration methods for virtual scenes in human-machine interaction technologies are inefficient, as users must manually input or adjust key position codes, leading to low configuration efficiency and insufficiently intuitive performance.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that updates a parameter policy set by playing a video in a human-machine interaction interface, where a first account's parameter policy is displayed and shared with a second account, allowing the second account to learn and apply the same parameters for controlling virtual objects, thereby improving configuration efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually input or adjust key position codes, then parameter configuration can be performed, but configuration efficiency is low and performance effect is insufficiently intuitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration efficiencyVSAvoidmanual input complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables users to copy parameter policies from other players by sharing key position codes. Instead of manually configuring parameters from scratch, users can directly copy proven parameter settings from the community, significantly improving configuration efficiency while reducing the complexity of manual input operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where parameter configuration results are visually demonstrated through video playback. Users can see the actual performance effect of copied parameter policies in real-time, providing immediate feedback that guides further configuration adjustments and improves overall ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If players share parameter policies through key position codes, then parameter configuration efficiency improves, but the intuitive understanding of parameter effects remains insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter policy configuration efficiencyVSAvoidparameter effect intuitiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces video playback as an intermediary between parameter configuration and performance understanding. The video serves as a mediator that visually demonstrates how copied parameter policies actually perform in gameplay, bridging the gap between abstract parameter codes and concrete performance effects, thereby reducing information loss and improving intuitiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses visual highlighting and emphasis in the video interface to draw attention to specific parameter effects. Through visual cues such as highlighted elements and annotated demonstrations, the system emphasizes key parameter impacts, making the information more intuitive and easier to understand without sacrificing configuration efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A parameter processing method includes playing a video for a second account, wherein a first account controls a first virtual object in the virtual scene in the video, and displaying a first parameter policy set associated with the video. The first parameter policy set includes at least one of (i) position, size, or function of keys for controlling the first virtual object or (ii) sensitivity of virtual props in the virtual scene. The method further includes updating a second parameter policy set corresponding to a second account in response to a parameter policy update operation. Updated parameters of the second parameter policy set include at least one parameter that is the same as a parameter of the first parameter policy set.
