Virtual Item Interaction via Dynamic Overlap and Motion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual item interaction methods are not attractive to users due to their rigid and single-click nature, leading to boredom and decreased user engagement.
Innovation Solution
A virtual item interaction method and apparatus that displays a virtual element overlapping a reference body part in an image, with moving animations of virtual items, allowing acquisition through off-screen interaction by controlling the position of the virtual element to meet the virtual items, enhancing user interest and interactivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single-click interaction manner is used to acquire virtual items, then the operation is simple and easy to implement, but the user experience becomes boring and less attractive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static single-click interaction into a dynamic interaction by introducing moving virtual items that travel across the screen. The user interacts by predicting and tapping where items will land, creating a dynamic game-like experience that maintains simplicity while dramatically improving engagement and attractiveness.
2Device complexity
If virtual items are acquired through fixed position clicking, then the interaction mechanism is rigid and simple, but the user feels bored and less engaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds the dimension of motion and time to the interaction. Instead of static positioned items, virtual items move across the screen following trajectories, requiring users to predict future positions. This dimensional addition transforms a boring static interaction into an engaging dynamic game while keeping the core tapping mechanism simple.
3Measurement precision
If the interaction requires precise positioning of virtual elements, then the control precision is high, but the operation becomes more complex and less intuitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces moving virtual items as intermediaries between the user and the acquisition goal. Instead of directly controlling virtual element position, users interact with naturally moving items that guide their attention. The system handles the complex positioning and motion calculation, while users simply tap where items land, maintaining high precision without increasing user-side complexity.

AI summary
A virtual item interaction method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: displaying a virtual element and an image captured by using an interactive interface, the virtual element overlapping a reference body part of a target object in the image; displaying an animation of at least one virtual item; and in response to any of the at least one virtual item touching the virtual element, capturing the any of the at least one virtual item.
