Pre-ordered Prop Display in Virtual Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing process of viewing pre-ordered props in arena battle-based applications is complex and requires multiple steps, resulting in low viewing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying pre-ordered props directly on a virtual environment picture using an entry control as a reference position, reducing the number of operation steps and improving viewing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users tap to enter prop mall interface and then enter pre-ordered prop list interface, then users can view pre-ordered props, but the operation steps are complex and viewing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pre-ordered prop list display function directly into the virtual environment picture interface. The processor displays the virtual environment picture and simultaneously displays the pre-ordered prop list on this picture, combining two previously separate functions into one integrated interface, thereby reducing operation steps and improving viewing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual environment picture interface is enhanced to serve multiple functions: it not only displays the virtual environment but also simultaneously displays the pre-ordered prop list. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate interface navigation, allowing users to view both the virtual environment and pre-ordered props in one view
2Productivity
If pre-ordered prop list is displayed on virtual environment picture, then viewing efficiency is improved, but server load increases due to additional information transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent obtains the pre-ordered prop list information that is already stored in the terminal, eliminating the need for real-time server queries during battle. The processor uses locally cached data to display the prop list on the virtual environment picture, reducing server communication overhead while maintaining efficient viewing
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a copy of the pre-ordered prop list information that is already stored in the terminal rather than continuously fetching from the server. This copying approach allows the terminal to display prop information locally without increasing server load, as the data is reused from existing local storage

AI summary
A method for displaying a pre-ordered prop includes: displaying a process of performing actions by a virtual character in a virtual environment; updating an existing virtual resource of the virtual character after the virtual character completes the actions; and displaying, in response to a satisfaction of a pre-order reminder condition, all or part of pre-ordered props on a virtual environment picture using an entry control as a reference position, at least one of the pre-ordered props requiring a redemption resource higher than the existing virtual resource of the virtual character, the entry control being a control related to purchase of a virtual prop for the virtual character, and the pre-ordered props being set before or during a battle.
