Virtual Controller Style Adaptation for Game Device Resource Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current game control methods on user equipment lead to high operating pressure, resource consumption, and reduced service life due to the integration of game screens and control components, causing overheating and performance degradation.
Innovation Solution
A device control method and apparatus that separates game control from game screen display by using a virtual controller, allowing different styles for various game scenes, reducing resource consumption and operational pressure through a software development kit (SDK) that manages style changes and user interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If game control components and game screen are displayed on the same user equipment, then game control functionality is integrated, but operating resources are consumed excessively and equipment overheating occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the game control system into two independent parts: a display device that displays the game screen and a separate control device that provides control functions. This segmentation eliminates the need for the user equipment to simultaneously handle both display and control processing, thereby reducing operating resource consumption and preventing overheating while maintaining integrated game control functionality.
2Ease of operation
If game control components and game screen are displayed on the same user equipment, then game control is integrated, but equipment service life is shortened due to high operating pressure
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the control functionality into a separate control device, the user equipment is relieved of high operating pressure during game play. This reduces thermal accumulation and mechanical stress on the equipment, thereby extending its service life while preserving the ease of operation through the virtual controller interface.
3Ease of operation
If virtual controller style changes with game scenes, then user convenience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic virtual controller system where the controller's visual style automatically changes according to the current game scene. The control device receives game scene information from the display device and renders the appropriate controller style, providing adaptability and user convenience without requiring manual intervention, thus managing complexity through automated dynamic adjustment.

AI summary
A device control method includes: displaying, in a target control interface of a target control device, responsive to a display device displaying a game screen for a first game scene of a target game, a target virtual controller in a first style fitting the first game scene; updating the game screen for the first game scene displayed in the display device responsive to control via the target virtual controller in the first style; displaying, in the target control interface, responsive to the game screen displayed by the display device switching from the first game scene to a second game scene of the target game, the target virtual controller in a second style fitting the second game scene; and updating a game screen for the second game scene displayed in the display device responsive to control via the target virtual controller in the second style.
