Virtual Object Mirror Segmentation for Real-Time Battle Simulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing turn-based and real-time Simulation Games (SLGs) struggle to realistically simulate 'many-against-one' or 'one-against-many' real-time battles, as multiple virtual objects controlled by a player cannot interact with the same enemy unit simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a server creating mirror objects of a target virtual object, ensuring the number of mirror objects plus the target object matches the number of interacting virtual objects. This allows for independent one-to-one interactions, enabling simultaneous 'many-against-one' or 'one-against-many' battle effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If turn-based interaction is used, then interaction simplicity is maintained, but real-time battle simulation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the target virtual object into multiple mirror objects, where each mirror object corresponds to one of the player's virtual objects. This segmentation allows each player object to interact independently with a dedicated mirror object, enabling simultaneous many-against-one or one-against-many battle scenarios while maintaining turn-based interaction simplicity.
2Productivity
If multiple virtual objects interact with the same target simultaneously, then real-time battle realism is improved, but server processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates mirror objects that are copies of the target virtual object for each player object. Instead of having multiple player objects interact with a single target object (which would require complex simultaneous processing), each player object interacts with its own dedicated mirror object, simplifying server processing while maintaining real-time battle realism.
3Ease of operation
If one-to-one correspondence interaction is implemented, then interaction independence is improved, but number of interaction pairs increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interaction system into independent one-to-one pairs by creating mirror objects for each player object. This segmentation achieves interaction independence where each player object's actions are processed separately, while the total number of interaction pairs remains manageable through the mirror object approach.

AI summary
A method for virtual object interaction. The method includes: receiving, by a server, an interaction instruction from a client to instruct multiple first virtual objects to interact with a target virtual object; creating, by the server, one or more mirror objects of the target virtual object, a sum of the number of the one or more mirror objects and the number of the target virtual object being the same as the number of the multiple first virtual objects; calculating, by the server, interaction data of interactions between the multiple first virtual objects, and the target virtual object and the one or more mirror objects; and synchronizing, by the server, first attribute data of the target virtual object and first attribute data of the one or more mirror objects based on the interaction data, and sending the synchronized first attribute data to the client.
