Solution Overview

Problem

The flexibility of controlling the sky environment in virtual scenes is poor, requiring users to repeatedly adjust parameters for changes, which decreases operability and convenience.

Innovation Solution

A sky environment control method and apparatus that integrates a control interface in a UGC editor, allowing users to configure change signals and parameters, automatically changing the sky environment when the trigger condition is met, enhancing flexibility and convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually adjust parameters each time they want to change the sky environment, then the sky environment can be changed, but the flexibility and operability of control is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility of sky environment controlVSAvoidoperability of sky environment control

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by allowing users to pre-configure multiple sky environment schemes (clear sky, cloudy sky, rainy sky, etc.) with their corresponding parameters before needing them. When a change is needed, the system automatically selects and applies the appropriate pre-configured scheme based on trigger conditions, eliminating the need for manual parameter adjustment at the moment of change.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating reusable sky environment schemes that can be stored and referenced multiple times. Instead of manually adjusting parameters each time, the system copies and applies pre-defined environment configurations, allowing the same sky environment settings to be replicated across different scenarios automatically.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If users manually adjust parameters for every sky environment change, then the sky environment can be modified, but the convenience and efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveefficiency of sky environment controlVSAvoidconvenience of sky environment control

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically selecting and applying the appropriate sky environment scheme based on pre-configured trigger conditions. When a trigger condition is met (such as a specific time, event, or user input), the system autonomously changes the sky environment without requiring user intervention, thereby improving both efficiency and convenience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

By pre-configuring multiple sky environment schemes and their associated trigger conditions, the system prepares all necessary configurations in advance. This allows the system to efficiently respond to change requests by simply selecting from pre-prepared options rather than creating configurations on-demand, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This application discloses a sky environment control method performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying a sky environment control interface in a UGC editor; obtaining, based on a sky environment change operation in the sky environment control interface, a change signal and a first environment parameter corresponding to the change signal; and changing, in response to the change signal triggered in the virtual scene, a current sky environment in the virtual scene to a sky environment indicated by the first environment parameter.
