Summary of the invention:

The game hardware and software system is built by the client installed on the smart device held by the player and the server on the server. Use the sensors on smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets to get the player's reality, such as position, direction, speed, etc. to play the game. Use the device touch screen to view game information and operate game functions; use GPS, Beidou sensor and compass, accelerometer and other sensors to get the player's position, direction and speed information; use NFC sensor, QR code to capture players and players and Contact information between environmental items; use the camera to obtain image information captured by the player; use the microphone to obtain sound information of the player and the environment. Through the program to manage the above sensors, and use the mobile Internet to transmit signals, information and instructions, use the software system for processing and analysis, let players play games in the real world through intelligent mobile devices, and assist with real-life activities. The system consists of the following modules:

1. Role information module:

This module is used to record and display information such as attribute values, items, tasks, etc. related to game mode design. Such as RPG type game level, experience value, blood volume, physical strength, mana value, character attributes and props, equipment, injury source direction arrow indication and other information.

2, role location module:

The player's geographic location information is obtained through GPS, Beidou and other positioning sensors on the player's device, and displayed on the screen in combination with a map or satellite image. The program and system handle the location information of each player. The game design allows the player to display the position of himself, teammates, and opponents on the screen map, and also allows the player to reach the location set by the game to complete the task or obtain the item, or Players trigger special effects of game design in different areas.

3. Interactive module:

Directional "hit", "shooting", "throwing", "probing", "casting" and other interactive methods are carried out by sensors such as direction sensors and accelerometers. For example, in the MMORPG type game design, after player A faces player B, the "fireball" skill is activated by the way of game design (pressing a button, performing a touch gesture or holding a mobile phone to make a throwing action, etc.), A passes the screen. Seeing that there is a certain drop in the mana value, and the flight path effect of the "Fireball" appears on the screen of all players. The trajectory starts from the A player position point and is sent in the direction recognized by the A device direction sensor. If player B is in the "fireball" influence range set by the game program, the life value of player B is reduced, and the screen is displayed on the screens of A and B. The hit information is displayed, and B's damage indicator arrow is displayed, combined with its direction sensor to indicate the direction from which the damage came. Use the player's location information, direction information and interaction effects to create a variety of game interactions.

4, the item module:

The item module records the item information of the player. Different game modes can have different designs, and the user can also create item information according to the rule setting. The player can get the item by "pick up" at the corresponding location, touch the NFC from another player, or take a two-dimensional code. It is also possible to "discard", "destroy", "send", "sell" and the like from the equipment bar. Items can be used to perform corresponding interactive functions, such as "use", "throw", "shoot", "deploy", etc., and also to achieve the victory condition by collecting and competing to complete the task according to the game design.

5. Skill module:

The skill module is similar to the item module, which records the player's skill information. Different game modes can have different designs. Obtained by vying, learning from other players, or unlocking through role experience rules. The skill design is based on the game mode design, and the "interaction" module affects and effects in the game.

6, task module:

Organize games and real-world activities through tasks such as editing, publishing location areas, time, player requirements, and victory rewards. It can be used to clarify game rules, victory conditions, detailed subtasks and job completion requirements during the game and activities.

7. Communication module:

Sound and image sensors are used to achieve voice and image transmission between players, helping players to communicate at a distance.

8, the battle module:

The watch-and-play module allows non-participating players and eliminated players to understand the progress of the game. The status of the game player can also be recorded by video, photo, and sound. Can be used to record, broadcast, review past games.

9, peripheral expansion module:

The smart device connects the related display device, sound device, sensor positioning device, somatosensory capture device and other devices by wireless or wired to help the player to play better.

Game mode example:

The operation of the system is demonstrated below with the game settings of the "Hunger Games". The rules of the "Hunger Games": Players are scattered in the theater. Players are immediately determined to be dead when they leave the theater. Items (weapons, supplies) will appear at specific locations within the theater. Players can use weapons or unarmed fists to fight. The killed player is eliminated and the last survivor is the winner of this game.

1. Editing and publishing of game tasks:

Player A releases the rules and modes of the above "Hunger Games" through the client, demarcating a park lawn as a battle zone. The game time is officially started at 9:05 on Saturday at 9:05, and the maximum number is 20.

2. Registration and joining of game tasks:

Player A, Player B, and Player C find the mission through the mission system, and sign up for the game through the mission system. Arrived at the target park's large lawn at 9 o'clock on Saturday. At 9 o'clock, the maps of players A, B, and C show the map coordinates of their birth points. The game starts counting down and the players arrive at their birth points.

3. The beginning of the game:

After the countdown is cleared, the game interface shows that the game officially begins. The player's life indicator appears and each person has 100 life. The coordinate points of each item appear on the map, and the basic interaction is activated. The basic interaction is “empty wrestling”: immediately inflicts 20 damage to targets in the range of 5m and 9 to 3 o'clock in the front direction, and the cooldown is 0.5 seconds.

4, the game is carried out:

Player A's birth point is located on the south side of the theater. The "spear" prop coordinate point appears in the southwest corner of the map. He ran to the "spear". Player B was born on the west side of the theater. On the south side of the battlefield, there appeared the coordinate point of the "armor". He decided to pick up the "armor" and competed with A for the "spear", so he immediately ran to "armor." Player C was born on the north side of the theater. There was a "bow and arrow" coordinate point in the northeast corner of the theater. He decided to pick up the "bow and arrow" and began to run to the "bow and arrow".

After a few seconds, Player B reaches the "armor" coordinate point, its touch screen displays the "pick up" interactive button, B presses the button and adds a pair of "armor" in the item bar, and the "armor" coordinate point disappears in the map of all players. Player B opens the item bar with "Arms", and the effect of "Arms" is 50% less damage to the player. A change in the player B icon in the map of all players indicates that they are wearing armor. At this point, players A and C still do not reach the item coordinate point on the road. Player B immediately ran to Player A to try to kill Player A.

After a few seconds, Player B catches up with Player A. The position of the two sides on the map is 5m apart. Player B launches the "empty wrestling" through the touch screen: After the system determines that the attack hits, the player A's screen prompts the life value to decrease, dropping to 80. Point, and display the damage source arrow on the back side, player B shows the attack hits player A's icon on the icon to indicate life -20, while the two devices play out "hit sound effects." Player A sees that he is still far away from the "spear" and immediately turns around to check the situation. After player B is found, it is displayed on the screen that it is equipped with "armor". Player A judges that he can't beat B. He immediately calls to player B to form a league to deal with player C. Player B checks that player C is running to the bow and arrow coordinates. Can not rely on one's own strength to defeat C and then agreed to A's request, but the condition is that they must obtain a "spear", Player A agrees to give up the "spear" and ran to the "pistol" coordinate point in the center of the map.

After a few seconds, players A, B, and C respectively "pick up" and equipped with "pistol", "spear" and "bow", respectively, activated "shooting" (for 50m, 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock angle range The nearest target deals 50 damage, the flight speed is infinite, and the bombing capacity is 6 rounds. The cooling time is 0.5 seconds.) "Puncture" (immediately 80 damage is dealt to the nearest target within 10m, 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock angle range, Cooling time 0.5 seconds) "Arrowing" (50 points of damage to the nearest target in the range of 50m, 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, flight speed 50m / s, 10 shots, 1 second cooldown).

The weapons and A and C immediately launched an exchange of fire. All the players' equipments were shot at different volume distances. The screen also showed the muzzle flare, the arrow's flight path and the damage information of both sides. After 1 second, Player C is killed by Player A. All players receive the kill information. Player c's position becomes gray to indicate death, while Player C's bow is dropped and removed from its inventory. All players' maps. The "Bow and Arrow" icon appears again in the position where Player C dies. Player C enters the watch mode and continues to watch the battle between A and B.

With the death of Player C, the player A and B alliance relationship is invalid, Player A immediately turns to aim at Player B to open fire, thinking that with the remaining 4 rounds of ammunition enough to kill player B in armor. Player B also realized this and quickly rushed to player A. In the process, player A was hit 2 and grabbed the remaining 50 points. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 15m. Player A took the side-by-side path to avoid approaching. After player A 2 guns had 1 shot off target and used up all ammunition. At this point, player B has 25 remaining lives and player A has 30 remaining lives. Player B enters the range of 10m, player A tries to escape, but at this time player B immediately launches "poke" and kills player A. Like Player C's death, Player A dies into the watch mode, and a kill message appears on the map. The pistol icon appears in the A death position.

5, the end of the game:

At this point player B becomes the only survivor. Achieve the victory conditions of this game. At the end of the game, players A, B, and C get the corresponding experience and game currency rewards according to the kill and final result, and save the process record of the game through the viewing system for later review.

The above is a game design example of the game system. The system can implement various game contents and experiences according to different game settings and designs.

The following is an extended case of the game system to work in reality.

1, express example

The sender of the courier uses the “item module” to input the item description and the photo of the item to create a new item to be sent in the system. After the system enters the system, the generated item id QR code is printed and pasted on the item. Scan the QR code to add objects to your personal inventory. Then through the task module to edit and publish the task of the express item, including the sender, the piece of geographic information (set to the sender's geographical location at this time), the geographical coordinates of the receiving location, recipient information, delivery time limit, etc. Related Information.

The courier searches, views, and accepts tasks through the system's task module. The publisher's collection icon appears in the map of the courier, and the courier task is also added to the courier's task list. After the courier meets the sender, the courier picks up the item and scans the QR code on the item, which is removed from the sender's inventory and added to the courier's inventory. After the flow of each link of the express delivery, the item information of the item flows in the item column of different people, and finally the recipient scans the QR code of the item and adds it to the item column of the recipient, and the completion condition of the task is reached. The courier can receive the corresponding reward according to the settings.

2. Examples of volunteer activities

On the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, a nursing home plans to organize a volunteer activity. The organizer of the event edits and publishes the event time, geographic location, personnel, and work content information through the task module. The task is to complete subtasks such as cleaning, performance, and to get an "approved" status to complete the task.

Volunteers search, view, and register this task through the task module, and arrive at the designated geographic location on time. Volunteer activities are carried out according to the similar organization of “Hunger Games”. The difference is that most of the “virtual interactions” are replaced by real service labor. Finally, the event organizer checks the work of each volunteer and uses the “approval” interactive button to Volunteers are marked as "approved". After the volunteers reach the mission conditions, they can get game rewards according to the settings.

The above is an example of the system to help users to carry out more realistic activities. Through the design of task modules, item modules and interactive modules, it can provide effective assistance to all aspects of real work and life.
