Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure first provide a signal generation method in a game, in which a signal refers to game instruction information sent by a certain player to other players in the game, such as where to attack, where to defend, and the like.

Fig. 1 shows a system architecture diagram of the operating environment of the present exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 1, the system 100 may include a touch terminal 110, a game server 120, and other touch terminals 130. The touch terminal 110 and the other touch terminals 130 may be mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. supporting game applications, where the touch terminal 110 refers to a touch terminal operated by a player sending a signal in a game, and the other touch terminals 130 refer to touch terminals operated by players receiving the signal. The game processes of the touch terminal 110 and the other touch terminals 130 are managed by the game server 120, and the game processes of the touch terminal 110 and the other touch terminals 130 have an association relationship, which may specifically be an association relationship between a player of the touch terminal 110 and a player of the other touch terminals 130, for example, the player of the touch terminal 110 and the player of the other touch terminals 130 are in the same team, the same copy, or the same task. The game server 120 is a server for processing data related to a game program executed on each touch terminal, and in the present exemplary embodiment, the game server 120 may receive a signal in the game generated by the touch terminal 110 and then transmit the signal to the other touch terminals 130 to complete signal transmission in the game.

The touch terminal can present a graphical user interface, and the graphical user interface comprises a game minimap and at least one signal icon. The graphical user interface is a game interface displayed in a touch terminal screen, and the game minimap can be a global map which can display the whole area of the current virtual scene in the game interface and is used for assisting the player to determine the specific position of the current scene in the global map. In a game interface, a game minimap is displayed in a local area of a graphical user interface, such as an upper right corner area, or is displayed in a preset area above a scene map with a preset transparency, and a signal icon may be used to reflect the type of game command information sent.

It should be understood that the number of terminals shown in fig. 1 is only exemplary, and any number of touch terminals 110 and other touch terminals 130 may be provided according to actual needs, and in addition, each touch terminal in fig. 1 is peer-to-peer, and when other touch terminals need to send signals, it may also be used as an execution subject of the present exemplary embodiment for generating signals in a game, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 2, the exemplary embodiment is further described with the touch terminal 110 as an execution subject, and as shown in fig. 2, the signal generating method in the game may include the following steps S210 to S250:

in step S210, a target signal icon is determined from the signal icons in response to the signal selection operation.

The target signal icon refers to a signal icon that a current player needs to generate, the signal selection operation refers to an operation for determining the target signal icon, specifically, the operation may be a single click operation, a double click operation, a long press operation, or the like, and the signal selection operation may act on any area of the graphical user interface, for example, different types of signal icons may be set in any area of the graphical user interface, and the player determines that the signal icon is the target signal icon by clicking one of the signal icons. Where type refers to the attributes of the transmitted signal, such as attack, defense, aggregation, etc. In other words, the present exemplary embodiment first selects a target signal icon, which may be regarded as a level-one menu for generating a game signal, and, after determining the target signal icon, generates a game signal with respect to the target signal icon. In the signal generation interface diagram shown in fig. 3, in the field 310, a signal selection operation of a target signal icon is first performed, and when the signal icon of "action" is selected, the icon and a game map can be highlighted, and the brightness of other areas is reduced to be highlighted below the target signal icon to generate a game signal, as shown in fig. 6, the generated target signal 330 may have the same signal icon as the selected instruction type, that is, the icon can distinguish which corresponding instruction type the target signal belongs to.

Step S220, in response to a first preset operation applied to the game minimap, determining a target position in the game minimap according to a touch point position of the first preset operation, and generating at least one instruction option, where the instruction option includes quantity indication information.

The first preset operation is an operation for triggering generation of an instruction option, and may be a single click, a double click, a long press, and the like in the graphical user interface. The touch point position refers to an action position of a first preset operation, such as a click position of a single click, a double click or a long press operation. The touch point position can be located at any position in the game minimap. The target position refers to a mark position of the signal in the game minimap, namely a display position of the generated game signal in the game minimap. In the present exemplary embodiment, the target position may be determined according to the touch point position of the first preset operation, for example, when the user clicks a certain point in the game minimap, it may be considered that the player wants to set a signal at the certain point in the minimap, and the certain point position is determined as the target position. The instruction options refer to one or more candidate instructions which can be sent by the player and are related to game signals, and the player sends the signals related to the instruction options to other players through determining one of the instruction options, wherein the instruction options contain quantity indication information. For example, if the player wants to generate a signal about aggregation, the command options may be options for a particular aggregation population, such as 3, 5, 8, etc.; the instruction options may also include options regarding the type of action of the game, such as aggregation, attack, defense, and the like. In the exemplary embodiment, the generated one or more instruction options may be displayed at any position of the graphical user interface, for example, when the player plays a game in the current virtual scene, the touch terminal 110 receives a click operation, the instruction options may be generated on the current game minimap, and the like.

In an exemplary embodiment, in step S210, generating one or more instruction options may include the steps of:

step S310, acquiring a touch point position of a first preset operation;

step S320, generating a virtual wheel at the touch point position, where the virtual wheel includes one or more command options.

In order to clearly and concisely display the generated one or more command options in the graphical user interface, a virtual wheel can be generated at the position of the touch point. The virtual wheel may be used to regularly display the one or more command options generated in step S220, for example, the virtual wheel may be in the form of a circular wheel, a sector wheel, or a drop-down list. The generated one or more command options may be displayed in a fixed region of the virtual wheel, for example, when the virtual wheel is a circular wheel, the virtual wheel may be divided into six regions with equal areas based on a circle center, and each region is provided with one command option, such as a circular wheel 320 shown in fig. 4, where the numbers on the wheel represent the number of people gathering 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The instruction options may also be displayed in a form of a pull-down list, and after the first preset operation is obtained, a pull-down list with 6 options may be generated by using a touch point position of the first preset operation as the pull-down list, and the like. The form of the virtual roulette wheel may be various, and the present disclosure is not particularly limited thereto.

In step S230, a target instruction option is determined among the instruction options in response to the second preset operation.

The second preset operation is an operation for determining a target instruction option, and may be an operation of clicking, sliding, long-pressing, or the like in the graphical user interface. The target instruction option is one of the one or more instruction options generated in step S220, and reflects a signal instruction that the player wants to send in a plurality of instruction options to be selected. For example, a plurality of instruction options for aggregating people, such as 2, 3, 5, 8, etc., the player may select the instruction option of "3 people" as the target instruction option, and consider that the player of the touch terminal 110 will send a signal to the players of other touch terminals that 3 people are aggregated. In this exemplary embodiment, the second preset operation may be in a different operation form from the first preset operation, for example, the first preset operation is a single-click operation, the second preset operation is a long-press operation, when the player performs the single-click operation on the graphical user interface, one or more instruction options are generated in the interface, at this time, the player may switch the moving option frame between different instruction options through the long-press operation, and when the player stops the long-press operation, the system will select the instruction option selected when the moving option frame is finally stopped as the target instruction option. The second preset operation and the first preset operation may also be in the same operation form, for example, both the first preset operation and the second preset operation are click operations, and when a player performs a click operation on the graphical user interface, one or more instruction options are generated in the interface, and at this time, the player may perform a click operation on one of the instruction options again to determine that the instruction option is a target instruction option, and the like.

The first preset operation and the second preset operation may also have other operation forms, in an exemplary embodiment, the first preset operation in step S220 may be a click operation or a long-press operation, and the second preset operation may be a sliding operation continuous with the first preset operation. Step S220 may include the steps of:

responding to click, re-click or long-click operation acting on the game small map, determining the position of a touch point of the click, re-click or long-click operation as a target position, and generating at least one instruction option at the position of the touch point, wherein the instruction option comprises quantity indication information;

further, step S230 may include the steps of:

and in response to the sliding operation, determining the instruction option at which the sliding end point of the sliding operation is located as the target instruction option.

In the exemplary embodiment, when receiving a click, a re-click, or a long-click operation performed by a player in a game minimap, the touch terminal 110 may determine a target position according to a touch point position of the operation of the player, and generate one or more instruction options at the touch point position, where each instruction option occupies a preset area in the graphical user interface, for example, a fan-shaped area where each instruction option is located on a "wheel," or a rectangular area where each list is located in a pull-down list, and the like. The player may perform the continuous sliding operation again, where after performing the clicking, re-pressing or long-pressing operation, the time that the player does not leave the touch main body from the graphical user interface or leaves the touch main body does not exceed a preset time, and the sliding operation is performed from the current touch point position as the sliding start point to one of the instruction options, and when the sliding operation is stopped, the instruction option corresponding to the area where the end point is located is the target instruction option. FIGS. 3-6 show schematic diagrams of a target instruction option determination process. Fig. 3 shows a minimap in a game, as shown in fig. 4, when a click or long-press operation is received, a wheel 320 (i.e. a virtual wheel) related to an instruction option pops up, the center X of the wheel is the position of a touch point of the click or long-press operation by a player, when the player performs a sliding operation, as shown in fig. 5, the wheel slides to an instruction option "2", and a signal instruction 330 requiring 2 persons is generated and displayed in the game minimap, as shown in fig. 6.

Further, in an exemplary embodiment, after determining the position of the touch point of the click, the double press or the long press operation as the target position in response to the click, the double press or the long press operation acting on the game minimap, and generating at least one instruction option at the position of the touch point, the in-game signal generation method may further include the steps of:

and removing one or more instruction options if the touch medium which is clicked, pressed again or pressed for a long time is detected to leave the touch area of the touch terminal.

Here, the touch medium refers to a specific body capable of performing a touch operation, for example, a finger of a player or a capacitive pen used by the player. In the exemplary embodiment, considering that the player wants to terminate the transmission of the signal after entering the click or long-press operation, a cancellation mechanism may be set, and when the touch terminal detects that the touch medium leaves the touch area after the click or long-press operation is performed by the player, or leaves the touch area for more than a preset time, it may be regarded that the second preset operation is not continuous with the first preset operation, and the one or more instruction options that have been generated may be removed, specifically, the display of the instruction options on the graphical user interface may be cancelled.

Step S240, generating a target signal according to the target signal icon, the target location and the target instruction option, and generating a signal indication object at the target location, where the signal indication object at least includes the target signal icon.

The target signal is a final signal to be sent by a certain player to other players in the game, and may include a target signal icon, a target position, and a target instruction option, and may be usually displayed in the game map in the form of a preset icon, such as a cross icon, a five-pointed star icon, or a custom icon. The signal indication object may be identification information of a target signal, which may include a target signal target, i.e., a target signal icon corresponding to the target signal may be displayed in the game minimap to show the player which type of icon is generated, a target instruction option to provide the player with which instruction option the target signal specifically includes, and so on. The players of other touch terminals receiving the target signal can determine the specific instruction of what the sender sends at what position of the game minimap through the target signal. For example, in step S220, the player of the touch terminal 110 clicks a certain point in the game minimap to generate a plurality of instruction options for the number of people to be gathered, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc., and slides to the instruction option of "3 people" by a sliding operation to generate a target signal, and it can be considered that the player of the touch terminal 110 is going to send a signal that 3 people to be gathered at the point position in the game minimap to the players of other touch terminals.

Step S250, transmitting the target signal.

In this exemplary embodiment, the target signal sent by the touch terminal 110 may be sent to other touch terminals through the game server, so that the target signal is displayed in a game minimap or a game scene of the other touch terminals, and thus other players in the game process with the association relationship play a game according to the target signal.

Based on the above description, in the present exemplary embodiment, in response to a signal selection operation, a target signal icon is determined, in response to a first preset operation applied to a game minimap, a target position is determined in the game minimap according to a touch point position of the first preset operation, and one or more instruction options are generated, in accordance with a second preset operation, a target instruction option is determined, and generation of a target signal is achieved through the target signal icon, the target position, and the target instruction option. On one hand, the exemplary embodiment can provide a plurality of instruction options related to game signals, and the target signal can be displayed in a target position by determining the target instruction option to generate the target signal, so that compared with the prior art that only simple passwords such as attack, retreat, support required and the like are displayed, the signal content generated by the exemplary embodiment is richer and more targeted, and the diversity of the game content is increased; on the other hand, the position and the content of the target signal can be determined according to the first preset operation and the second preset operation, the operation process is simple, the efficiency is high, a player can conveniently and timely send the signal in a game, and the game experience of the player is improved.

In an actual game, when a player wants to set a signal in a certain area in a game minimap, the signal may already exist in the area. In this case, if the signals are continuously set in the area, the signals may overlap, and information cannot be accurately transmitted. Based on this, in an exemplary embodiment, the signal generating method in a game may further include the steps of:

responding to a third preset operation acted on the game small map, and judging whether a signal indication object exists in a preset range of the touch point position of the third preset operation in the graphical user interface;

and if the signal indication object exists in the preset range, amplifying the game minimap.

In this exemplary embodiment, the determining whether the signal indication object exists in the preset range of the touch point position of the third preset operation refers to determining whether the signal indication object already exists in the preset range, which may be a signal indication object set by a player of the touch terminal in a game minimap or a history signal indication object set by the player of the touch terminal 110. The third preset operation is an operation for judging whether the current game minimap is enlarged, and may be a single click operation, a long press operation, or the like. If the signal exists in the preset range, the signal can not be generated again in the range, so that the interference of the conditions of signal overlapping and the like on game signals is avoided. In the present exemplary embodiment, it is determined whether the position of the touch point can generate the target signal by determining whether the signal indication object exists within the preset range. The preset range can be determined according to various factors such as the type of the game minimap, the size of the icon representing the target signal and the like, for example, if the environment of the game minimap is wide and the possibility of overlapping between the signals is low, a larger preset range can be set; on the contrary, the game minimap environment is complex and dense, and when a signal icon is set at a certain point in the minimap and the icon may cover a certain area in the minimap, a smaller preset range can be set. In addition, the size of the preset range may be determined according to the size of the target signal icon, for example, if the icon of the target signal is large, when the signal is set at two points that are relatively close to each other, interference or overlapping is likely to occur, the preset range may be set to be small, whereas if the icon of the target signal is small, the preset range may be set to be large, which is not particularly limited by the present disclosure.

In an exemplary embodiment, the signal generating method in a game may further include the steps of:

and if the signal indication object does not exist in the preset range, determining the position of the touch point of the third preset operation as a target position, and generating at least one instruction option.

In the present exemplary embodiment, if there is no signal indication object within the preset range, it is described that the player does not have a situation where signals overlap when setting the game signal, and the generation of the game signal can be performed normally. Therefore, the position of the touch point of the third preset operation can be determined as the target position, and at least one instruction option is generated. It should be noted that, in the present exemplary embodiment, the third preset operation and the first preset operation may be the same in function, and are both operations for determining a target position of a target signal, and the difference may be that whether a signal indication object already exists in the current game minimap is determined, if so, it is described that a situation of signal overlap may occur, and when the player performs an operation for determining a target position, the operation is the third preset operation; if the signal indication object does not exist in the game small map, the situation that the signals are not overlapped is shown, and when the player carries out the operation of determining the target position, the operation is the first preset operation. And determining the target position according to the position of the touch point of the first preset operation or the third preset operation, and generating at least one instruction option.

In an exemplary embodiment, the enlarging the game minimap if the signal indicating object exists within the preset range may include:

if the signal indication object exists in the preset range, detecting whether the current scale of the game minimap is the maximum scale or not;

if the current scale is not the maximum scale, executing a step of enlarging the game minimap;

wherein the enlarging the game minimap may include:

the scale is enlarged to the next scale.

The signal generation method in a game may further include:

if the current scale is the maximum scale, it is determined that the target signal cannot be generated.

In the exemplary embodiment, in order to avoid the situation that signal interference or signal overlapping occurs in the preset range of the touch point position and the game experience is affected, a mechanism for amplifying the scale of the current game thumbnail may be set. The specific process can be as follows: detecting whether a signal indication object exists in a preset range of the position of a touch point, if so, detecting whether the current scale of the game small map is the maximum scale to determine whether the current game small map can be amplified, if the current scale is the maximum scale, indicating that the accuracy of the current game small map reaches the highest degree, and the current game small map cannot be amplified continuously, determining that a target signal cannot be generated, and if the current scale is not the maximum scale, amplifying the current scale to the next scale.

Fig. 8 to 11 are schematic diagrams illustrating determination of whether a target signal can be generated at a touch point position, where fig. 8 illustrates that only one signal is in a preset area 340, and when a first preset operation or a third preset operation of a player is received, a target signal may be generated, and in the present exemplary embodiment, a virtual roulette wheel may be used to select a command option, as shown in fig. 9. Fig. 10 shows that two signals exist in a preset range 340, and icons of the two signals are partially overlapped, at this time, if the current scale is not the maximum scale, the current scale is enlarged to the next scale, compared with the game minimap before enlargement, such as fig. 10, the game environment in the game minimap shown in fig. 11 is wider, the accuracy is also improved, and the target signal can be generated under the condition that no overlap occurs between the two signals.

In an exemplary embodiment, the target signal may be further displayed in a graphical user interface of the touch terminal, and the game signal generating method may further include the following steps:

generating an operation instruction about the target signal in response to a fourth preset operation acting on the signal indication object;

and sending the operation instruction to the game server, so that the game server sends the operation instruction to other touch terminals, and the signal indication object operated by the operation instruction is displayed on the other touch terminals.

In consideration of the fact that the generated target signal may be out of date or inaccurate in signal transmission, operations such as modification, deletion, or reset are required, and therefore, in the present exemplary embodiment, the operation instruction regarding the target signal may be generated according to a fourth preset operation. The operation instruction may refer to an instruction on how the player operates on the current target signal, such as deleting the current signal indication object, or resetting the current signal indication object. The fourth preset operation is an operation that is applied to a signal indication object generated in the game minimap and is used for changing the state of the target signal, and may specifically be a single-form operation such as a single click, a double click, a long press, or a sliding operation. The fourth preset operation may also be an operation combining multiple operation forms, for example, the fourth preset operation may be two consecutive operations ("click + slide operation forms"), when the player performs a click operation on the signal indication object, the graphical user interface presents multiple operation instruction options, at this time, the player may slide from the current touch point position to an intended instruction option, and the operation instruction at the end point of the player slide operation is determined as the operation instruction to be performed on the target signal. FIGS. 12-14 are schematic diagrams illustrating a process for performing a delete operation on a semaphore object. Taking the generated signal indication object 330 in the map shown in fig. 6 as an example, when the player performs a single-click operation on the signal indication object 330, the virtual wheel 320 is popped up, and the option 350 for deleting the signal indication object is popped up, as shown in fig. 12, when the player slides the touch subject onto the option 350 for deleting the mark, as shown in fig. 13, the generated signal indication object can be deleted, as shown in fig. 14, the display of the signal indication object 330 in the game minimap is cancelled. In addition, if the player slides the touch body to the area of other instruction options, the current signal indication object can be modified.

In the exemplary embodiment, after the operation instruction is determined, in order to apply the operation instruction to other touch terminals in the same game process, the operation instruction needs to be sent to the game server, and the operation instruction needs to be sent to other touch terminals through the game server. After receiving the operation instruction, the other touch terminals adjust the displayed target signal according to the operation instruction, so that the signal indication object operated by the operation instruction is displayed in the game minimap of the other touch terminals.

The exemplary embodiment also provides a signal display method in a game, which can be applied to the touch terminal 130 in fig. 1, where the touch terminal presents a graphical user interface, and the graphical user interface includes a game minimap. As shown in fig. 15, the signal display method in the game includes the following steps S410 to S420:

step S410, receiving a target signal, wherein the target signal comprises a target signal icon, a target position and a target instruction option;

step S420, according to the target signal, displaying a signal indication object at the target position of the game minimap, wherein the signal indication object comprises a target signal icon and a target instruction option.

The exemplary embodiment can be specifically applied to other touch terminals 130 in the same game process as the touch terminal 110, and the target signal received in step S410 is the target signal generated at the touch terminal 110 in step S240. From the target position in the target signal, the system can determine at which position the icon of the target signal will be located in the game minimap of the other touch terminal 130. According to the target instruction icon and the target instruction option in the target signal, the system can determine which icon and which instruction of the target signal are specifically displayed in the game minimap of the other touch terminal 130. The icon of the target instruction can be a system default signal icon, such as a circle, a star or a triangle, or can be a user-defined icon determined by uploading a picture, and the like.
