Virtual Item Transfer via Physical Prop Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual prop transfer methods in games are inefficient, requiring players to perform multiple complex operations to transfer virtual items, which hinders gameplay experience and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for transferring virtual items using electronic devices that receive and process transfer requests with physical item identifiers, determining target virtual items, and transferring them between positions in a virtual environment, simplifying the process through recognition of physical props and generation of transfer requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the traditional manual transfer method is used, then the virtual prop can be transferred, but the number of operations is large and the efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic recognition of physical props and self-execution of transfer operations. When a player places a physical prop on the second electronic device, the system automatically identifies the corresponding virtual prop and executes the transfer without requiring manual selection or confirmation operations, thus reducing the number of operations and improving efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (clicking, selecting, confirming) with automated recognition systems. The first electronic device automatically detects the physical prop through recognition technology, maps it to the corresponding virtual prop, and executes the transfer operation automatically, substituting multiple manual steps with an automated mechanism
2Ease of operation
If multiple operations are performed to transfer virtual prop, then the transfer can be completed, but the operation process is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary intermediate operations from the transfer process. By removing the steps of manually opening the backpack interface, selecting the virtual prop, and confirming the transfer, the system directly establishes the correspondence between physical and virtual props, thereby simplifying the operation procedure while maintaining transfer functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary mapping and recognition actions before the actual transfer. The first electronic device pre-establishes the correspondence relationship between physical props and virtual props, and automatically identifies the target virtual prop when the physical prop is placed, eliminating the need for real-time manual selection and simplifying the overall operation flow

AI summary
The present disclosure describes a method, a device, and storage medium for transferring a virtual item. The method includes receiving, by a first electronic device, a transfer request from a second electronic device, the transfer request comprising at least one physical item identifier and a quantity corresponding to each physical item identifier that are recognized by the second electronic device. The method also includes determining, by the first electronic device, at least one target virtual item according to the at least one physical item identifier and the quantity corresponding to each physical item identifier, the at least one target virtual item being associated with the at least one physical item identifier and the quantity corresponding to each physical item identifier; and transferring, by the first electronic device, the at least one target virtual item from a first position to a second position in a target virtual environment.
