Reverse-Projection Game Interface Control for Cross-Game Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game control methods using handle peripherals face compatibility issues due to differences between electronic games, leading to game control failures when pre-configured interfaces are not updated or compatible with upgraded game applications.
Innovation Solution
A game control method utilizing reverse projection technology, where a mobile terminal projects and controls a game interface through mirror data, allowing touch events to be mapped and sent to the game running device, enabling flexible and adaptable control without requiring specific handle peripherals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a pre-configured game control interface is used, then the control method is simple and easy to implement, but the compatibility with different game applications deteriorates when games are upgraded
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of projecting the mobile terminal's control interface to the game running device (forward projection), the patent inverts the approach by projecting the game running device's game interface to the mobile terminal (reverse projection). This allows the mobile terminal to capture touch events on the projected game interface and forward them to the game running device, thereby adapting to different game interfaces dynamically without requiring pre-configuration for each game.
2Measurement precision
If a handle peripheral is used for game control, then the control precision is high, but the compatibility across different games deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal's touchscreen serves multiple functions: it acts as both a display device for the projected game interface and as a control input device. By capturing touch events on the projected game interface and forwarding them to the game running device, the mobile terminal provides a universal control solution that works across different games without requiring game-specific handle peripherals.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pre-configured control interfaces are updated frequently, then the compatibility with upgraded games is maintained, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables the mobile terminal to automatically adapt to different game interfaces through reverse projection and touch event capture. The mobile terminal dynamically adjusts to the projected game interface without requiring manual configuration or updates, as the touch events captured from the projected interface automatically correspond to the correct control actions in the game running device.
Data Source
AI summary
A game control method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving mirror data sent by a game running device, wherein the mirror data indicates a current first game interface of the game running device; displaying a second game interface based on the mirror data, wherein there is a mapping relationship between the second game interface and the first game interface; and sending, when a touch event acting on the second game interface is obtained, a touch parameter corresponding to the touch event to the game running device, wherein the touch parameter indicates the game running device to respond to or skip responding to the touch event.
