Solution Overview

Problem

Current game interfaces for skill acquisition and release are single and monotonous, affecting the gaming experience of players.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for skill control of virtual objects that display base attack controls and multiple skill controls with different attributes, allowing for dynamic replacement of base attacks with target skills based on predefined conditions, and generate target identifications to enhance gameplay variety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional skill control methods are used in games, then skill acquisition and release can be achieved, but the gaming experience becomes single and monotonous

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill acquisition and release methodsVSAvoidcontrol interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic skill control where the base attack control can be replaced by skill controls based on predefined conditions. The system dynamically adjusts which control is active (base attack or skill) depending on the state of target identifications, creating a flexible and adaptive control interface that enhances gaming experience without requiring completely separate control systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The base attack control serves multiple functions: it can function as a standard base attack control or be replaced by skill controls under certain conditions. This multi-functionality allows a single control interface to provide both traditional combat capabilities and enhanced skill-based gameplay, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and versatility

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple skill controls with different attributes are added to enrich gameplay, then gaming experience is enhanced, but the control interface becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill attribute diversityVSAvoidcontrol interface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple skill controls with different attributes into a unified replacement mechanism for the base attack control. Instead of requiring separate controls for each skill attribute, the system combines them into a single replacement framework where target identifications determine which skill control becomes active, simplifying the interface while maintaining diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Different skill controls are activated in specific local contexts based on their corresponding target identifications. Each skill attribute has its own predefined conditions and replacement rules, allowing the system to provide differentiated functionality locally while maintaining overall interface simplicity through the unified base attack control structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for skill control of a virtual object comprises: displaying a virtual object and its corresponding base attack controls and a plurality of skill controls; the plurality of skill controls corresponding to skill attributes of N types where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; in response to a trigger operation for the target skill control, determining a target skill attribute corresponding to the target skill control and generating a target identification corresponding to the target skill attribute in the target area; in response to the target identification corresponding to the skill attribute of N types satisfying different predefined conditions, replacing an base attack corresponding to the base attack control with the target skill corresponding to different predefined conditions; in response to a trigger operation for the base attack control, controlling the virtual object to release the target skill.
