Solution Overview

Problem

Users are unable to flexibly control virtual images according to their needs, leading to a diminished user experience in entertainment platforms.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying virtual objects that allow users to select control modes through preset controls, enabling personalized adjustments by receiving and applying control information to specific parts of the virtual object.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If virtual image generation function is provided in entertainment platforms, then user entertainment interaction is enriched, but user cannot flexibly control the virtual image according to own needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol flexibilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual object is divided into multiple controllable parts (head, body, limbs, accessories), each with independent control parameters. This segmentation allows users to control specific parts independently, achieving flexible customization without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control system transitions from static pre-defined virtual images to dynamic real-time control. Users can dynamically adjust control modes, switch between different control parameters, and modify virtual object characteristics in real-time based on their needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If multiple control modes are provided for virtual object, then user can flexibly control virtual object according to needs, but control interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual object controllabilityVSAvoidcontrol interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control interface dynamically adapts to user needs by displaying only relevant controls for the currently selected control mode. Users can switch between different control modes (first, second, third modes), and the interface adjusts accordingly, maintaining simplicity while providing comprehensive control capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A unified control interface design handles multiple control modes and parameters through a consistent interaction paradigm. The same interface structure serves different control functions, reducing the need for multiple specialized controls and simplifying the overall interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A virtual object display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a medium are provided. The method includes: displaying an object model of a virtual object and at least one preset control, where each preset control is used for indicating a control mode; when a first trigger operation performed on a first preset control among the preset controls is detected, displaying the first preset control as a first display state, where the first display state is used for indicating that a control mode indicated by the corresponding preset control is in an on state; when the first control mode indicated by the first preset control is in an on state, receiving first control information for a target part in the virtual object; and replacing the part model of the target part with a target model corresponding to the first control information.
