Virtual Item Pickup Region Aggregation Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual environments, users face inefficiencies in human-computer interaction due to the need to manually control virtual objects to move near each virtual item for pickup, leading to multiple operations and reduced interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow users to create an operation trajectory forming an enclosed region, aggregating multiple target virtual items at a designated location within the virtual environment, enabling the virtual object to pick up these items upon moving to that location, thereby reducing the need for individual item retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the virtual object is controlled to move near to the location of each virtual item for pickup, then the virtual item can be obtained, but the user needs to perform multiple operations resulting in low interaction efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple item pickup operations into a single batch operation. The system detects multiple virtual items within a designated region and aggregates them into a group, allowing the user to pick up all items in the region with one action rather than individually picking up each item, thereby improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the virtual environment into multiple regions, with each region containing specific virtual items. By dividing the pickup task into region-based batches rather than individual item tasks, the system reduces the number of operations needed while maintaining precise control over which items are grouped together
2Productivity
If multiple virtual items are aggregated in a designated location, then the virtual object can pick up multiple items at once, but the system needs to detect and process region information
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects virtual items within the designated region and performs aggregation without requiring user intervention. The region detection mechanism operates autonomously to identify items, calculate centroids, and group items, making the complexity transparent to the user while enabling efficient batch pickup
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a region concept as an intermediary between the user and individual items. Instead of directly interacting with each item, the user interacts with the region containing multiple items, and the system mediates by detecting items within that region and aggregating them, thereby simplifying the interaction model

AI summary
This application discloses a method and an apparatus for picking up a virtual item in a virtual environment, a terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium, which belong to the field of human-computer interaction. The method can include displaying a user interface, and obtaining, according to a first instruction triggered by an interaction operation on the user interface, an operation trajectory formed by the interaction operation on the user interface. The method can further include obtaining, in a case that the operation trajectory forms an enclosed region, at least two target virtual items located in the enclosed region in the virtual environment, aggregating the target virtual items in a designated location in the virtual environment, and controlling, in a case that the virtual object moves to the designated location, the virtual object to pick up the target virtual items.
