Virtual Pet Genealogy Display via Genetic Inheritance Rules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual pet breeding methods lack diversity and accuracy in genealogy information, reducing user experience and the quality of virtual pet breeding, as newly born virtual pets have the same pet image as their parents, limiting genetic inheritance and diversity.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying genealogy information of virtual pets using a blockchain system, where genetic inheritance rules determine the images of virtual pets based on their parental genes, allowing for diverse and accurate representation of genetic relationships and ancestry.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual pets are bred using traditional methods where offspring have the same image as parents, then the breeding process is simple, but the product function is undiversified and user experience quality is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing genetic parameters (genes) that determine virtual pet images. Instead of identical copying, the system uses genetic inheritance rules where offspring inherit and recombine parental genes, creating variable image parameters. This transforms the breeding mechanism from static copying to dynamic parameter recombination, enabling diversified product functions while maintaining systematic control through defined inheritance rules.
2Measurement precision
If virtual pets have identical images to their parents, then the breeding mechanism is simple to implement, but the accuracy of genealogy information is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying with transformation - it copies genetic information from parental virtual pets to offspring, but applies genetic inheritance rules during the copying process. The genes are copied and recombined according to defined probabilities and rules, creating accurate genealogy records that reflect true genetic relationships. This enables precise tracking of ancestry while implementing realistic genetic variation, resolving the contradiction between copying simplicity and genealogy accuracy.
3Reliability
If the breeding system uses genetic inheritance rules to determine pet images, then user experience is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the virtual pet image into multiple independent gene segments. Each gene represents a separable attribute that can be independently inherited and recombined. This segmentation allows the complex image determination process to be broken down into manageable genetic components, making the system more controllable and less complex while still achieving diversified and reliable user experiences through combinatorial genetics.

AI summary
An information display method for a virtual object, performed by a terminal on which a virtual object application program is run, is provided. The method includes: obtaining an instruction to display genealogy information corresponding to a target virtual object; obtaining the genealogy information of the target virtual object based on the instruction, the genealogy information of the target virtual object comprising information about n virtual objects having a genetic relationship with the target virtual object, n being a positive integer; and displaying the information about the n virtual objects, the information about the n virtual objects comprising an image of a virtual object determined by genes of the virtual object based on a genetic inheritance rule. Counterpart apparatus, terminal, server, and non-transitory computer-readable medium embodiments are also contemplated.
