Virtual Target Lock Switching Using Mobile Swing Gestures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual environment systems require repetitive user input to switch locked enemy characters, leading to inefficient character switching during battles.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allows switching locked virtual objects using a swing operation of the mobile terminal, utilizing motion sensors or camera inputs to determine the target for locking changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users repeatedly touch the locking control to switch locked enemy characters, then the switching follows a preset order, but the switching efficiency is low especially when the target is at the end of the switching order
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical touch operation with gesture-based control. Users perform swinging gestures in the direction of the target enemy character to lock onto them directly, eliminating the need for repeated tapping and sequential switching through the preset order.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameter from discrete sequential selection to continuous directional gesture recognition. By recognizing the direction and amplitude of swinging gestures, the system directly identifies the target enemy character regardless of position in the preset switching order, significantly reducing switching time.
2Ease of operation
If the locking control is provided on the user interface, then the locking function is simple to implement, but the operation complexity increases when needing to switch between multiple enemy characters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex multi-tap UI operations with intuitive physical gestures. The swinging gesture naturally indicates the user's intent to switch to a specific enemy character, making the operation as simple as pointing in the direction of the target.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines the target enemy character based on the gesture direction and amplitude, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through switching sequences or select from menus. The system serves itself by interpreting the gesture and directly locking onto the appropriate target.

AI summary
A virtual object switching method includes displaying a first virtual object in a locked state and a second virtual object not in a locked state, the locked state indicating a locked virtual object becoming an action target of a main control virtual object; receiving a swing operation, the swing operation including an operation for swinging a body of the mobile terminal; and switching from the first virtual object in the locked state to the second virtual object to be in a locked state, when the swing operation matches the second virtual object.
