Solution Overview

Problem

Battle royale games lack innovative gameplay mechanics that can attract and engage users, often relying on repetitive area-shrinking combat methods, leading to potential elimination due to mistakes.

Innovation Solution

Introduce a method and device for controlling user character motions, including determining jump conditions such as being airborne, activating jump motion and attack inputs, and implementing unique combat mechanics like jump attacks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional area-shrinking combat methods are used in battle royale games, then the gameplay structure is simple and easy to understand, but the gameplay becomes repetitive and fails to attract user interest

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegameplay varietyVSAvoidmotion control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic motion input objects that change based on the user character's state. The jump motion input object is activated only when the character is airborne, and the jump attack motion input object is activated only when the character is jumping. This dynamic activation system provides versatile gameplay options while maintaining clear, state-based control logic that is not overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If new motion inputs like jump attacks are introduced, then new combat strategies become available, but the control system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombat strategyVSAvoidinput object activation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of the user character's state (airborne, jumping) before activating the corresponding motion input objects. By determining the character's state in advance and pre-activating the appropriate input objects, the system enables new combat strategies like jump attacks without requiring complex real-time control logic during combat execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If jump motion is activated based on airborne condition, then realistic character behavior is achieved, but the condition detection system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion activation accuracyVSAvoidairborne state detection
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from the user character's state detection to control input object activation. By continuously monitoring whether the character is airborne or jumping and using this feedback to activate or deactivate the corresponding motion input objects, the system achieves realistic character behavior with a relatively simple state-based detection mechanism rather than complex physics calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
