Virtual Object Identity Display with Platform Icons
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, the display of identification information for virtual characters is often undistinguishable due to a similar display manner, leading to low identity uniqueness.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying information related to virtual objects in a terminal, where the identity of a virtual object is determined and displayed with a platform icon if it belongs to a whitelist of authenticated users, enhancing identification through unique display manners.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the same display manner is used for all virtual characters' identification information, then the display method is simple and unified, but the identification information becomes difficult to distinguish and uniqueness is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display styles to different virtual characters based on their authentication status. Authenticated users display with platform icons and customized styles, while non-authenticated users display with default styles. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by maintaining simplicity for the overall system while providing unique identification for individual characters through localized style variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes different colors, icons, and visual styles to distinguish authenticated users from non-authenticated users. Platform icons with specific colors and customized display styles are applied to authenticated users, creating visual differentiation that maintains information uniqueness while keeping the display method manageable through standardized color schemes and icon sets.
2Loss of information
If different display manners are used for different virtual characters to enhance identification uniqueness, then identity uniqueness is improved, but the display method becomes complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by applying display style variations only to specific virtual characters that meet certain criteria (authenticated users), while keeping the default display method for others. This approach enhances identity uniqueness for distinguished users without requiring complete redesign of the overall display system, thus managing complexity through selective application of different styles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal display framework that handles both authenticated and non-authenticated users through a single system. The display method serves multiple functions: it provides default styling for all users, applies customized styling for authenticated users, and maintains consistency through standardized platform icons and color schemes. This multi-functionality reduces overall complexity by unifying the display management approach.
3Loss of information
If platform icons and customized display styles are applied to authenticated users, then user differentiation and identification are enhanced, but the resource consumption and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies enhanced display resources locally only to authenticated users rather than all users. The terminal processes and renders platform icons, customized colors, and special styles only for virtual characters associated with authenticated accounts, while using simpler default rendering for others. This local application reduces overall resource consumption while maintaining user differentiation for the target group.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining platform icons, color schemes, and display styles for different authentication levels. These display configurations are prepared in advance and stored, allowing the terminal to quickly apply them without extensive real-time processing. This preliminary preparation reduces runtime resource consumption while achieving enhanced user differentiation.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose an information display method and apparatus for a virtual object, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining, in a running process of an application (APP), an identity of a first virtual object that appears in a target user interface of the APP, the identity being used for identifying a controller of the first virtual object; determining a display manner of the identity of the first virtual object in the target user interface when the identity of the first virtual object belongs to a whitelist, controllers corresponding to identities in the whitelist being authenticated users on a third-party service platform, and the third-party service platform having a corresponding platform icon; and displaying the platform icon and the identity on the target user interface according to the display manner.
