Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for prompting information in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the method for prompting information in a game provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

s101, responding to a precious finding auxiliary instruction, and determining a target planning path of the target virtual character in a plurality of preset directions of the small map according to a first position of the target virtual character in the game scene and second positions of available materials in a plurality of preset directions in the game scene;

Exemplary steps of embodiments of the present application are described below:

s101, responding to a precious finding auxiliary instruction, and determining a target planning path of the target virtual character in each preset direction of the small map according to a first position of the target virtual character in the game scene and second positions of available materials in a plurality of preset directions in the game scene.

In the step, a target planning path of the target virtual character in each preset direction is determined according to a first position of the target virtual character in the game scene and a second position of the available materials in a plurality of preset directions in the game scene in response to the precious searching auxiliary instruction.

Here, the game scene provided by the embodiment of the application may be a game scene needing to search for treasures, and in the game scene needing to search for treasures, various treasures opening activities exist. The treasures during the activity can scatter at random positions in different areas of the game scene, and all players can rob the treasures by preempting the treasures or defeating the possession of the treasures to obtain auxiliary tools in the treasures to better complete the game tasks.

Here, there may be different manners for issuing the treasure hunt auxiliary instruction, which may be to display a treasure hunt auxiliary control at a preset position in the image user interface, and determine that the treasure hunt auxiliary instruction is received when a touch operation on the treasure hunt auxiliary control is received; the method can also comprise the steps of dividing a preset treasure hunt operation area in a graphical user interface, and determining that a treasure hunt auxiliary instruction is received when touch operation in the preset treasure hunt operation area is received; it may also be that when any one of a plurality of operation controls displayed in the current graphical user interface receives a preset touch operation, it is determined that a treasure hunt assist instruction is received (for example, a continuous click operation on a direction control is received, etc.).

For the mode of displaying a treasured seeking auxiliary control at a preset position in the image user interface, the auxiliary control can be a specific position of the set graphical user interface, and the path planning operation in the game scene is triggered in response to the touch operation of the player on the auxiliary control in the graphical user interface, so that the treasured seeking path planning process of the player is achieved.

The touch operation of the player on the auxiliary control may be a click operation, a long-press operation or a sliding operation.

Here, the plurality of preset directions in the game scene may be directions of the first positions of the respective position points with respect to the target virtual character with respect to the position points on the respective edge lines of the game map after the mesh game map obtained by abstracting the game scene, which are determined as the preset directions in the game scene.

The position point on each edge line may be a midpoint on the edge line, or may be four azimuth coordinate points of the game map up to the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right.

Here, when determining the target planned path in each preset direction, reference needs to be made to the situation of the available materials on the planned path, so when determining the target planned path, reference needs to be made to the second position of the available materials, and the path is planned according to the second position of the available materials and the current position of the target virtual character.

a1: and responding to the treasured finding auxiliary instruction, and dividing the game map corresponding to the game scene into a plurality of sub-map areas.

In the step, after the game scene is abstracted into a game map in response to a precious searching auxiliary instruction issued by a player, the abstracted game map is divided into a plurality of sub-map areas.

Specifically, the abstract game map may be divided into a plurality of sub-map areas according to the following steps:

b1: and responding to touch operation aiming at the precious finding auxiliary control, abstracting a map where the target virtual character is located to obtain a game map.

In this step, a corresponding mesh map is generated in the game map based on each path in the game scene, in which a plurality of paths existing in the game scene, a game area on each path, and the like are indicated.

b2: and determining the midpoints of map edge lines of the four directions of the uppermost, lowermost, leftmost and rightmost of the game map.

Here, the middle point of the map edge line where the four directions of the uppermost, lowermost, leftmost and rightmost of the game map abstracted from the game scene are located may be determined, so that the sub-map area of the game map is divided according to the determined middle points of the map edges.

Here, since the specific travelling direction of the virtual character in the game map cannot be specifically determined, and in order to divide the game map more conveniently, the edge lines of the game map can be selected, the middle point of each edge line is determined, and the game map is divided by the current position where the target virtual character controlled by the player is located and the middle point of each edge line.

Here, the midpoint of each edge line may be determined in the embodiment of the present application, or other points (points in one third, etc.) on each edge line in the game map may be determined to determine each point at which the game map may be divided.

In specific implementation, the midpoints of the map edge lines of the four directions of the uppermost, lowermost, leftmost and rightmost of the selected game map are respectively recorded as PCs ₁ 、PC ₂ 、PC ₃ 、PC ₄ The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the And, PC _i ＝(X _i ,Y _i )i∈[1,4]。

b3: and dividing the game map into a plurality of sub-map areas based on the connection lines between the position nodes of the current position of the target virtual character in the game map and the midpoints of the map edge lines of the four directions of the uppermost, the lowermost, the leftmost and the rightmost.

In the step, according to the current position of the target virtual character, connecting lines are respectively carried out on the midpoints of the edge lines of the map where the uppermost, lowermost, leftmost and rightmost directions are located at the position points in the abstracted game map, and after the connecting lines are respectively connected, the game map is divided into a plurality of sub-maps according to the determined connecting lines.

a2: a plurality of preset directions are determined based on the positional relationship between the first position of the target virtual character in the game scene and each sub-map area.

In the step, a plurality of corresponding preset directions are determined according to the position relation between the first position of the target virtual character in the game scene and each sub map area.

Here, corresponding to the above example, the position points in the game map where the target virtual character is located are set to PS, from PS to PC, respectively ₁ 、PC ₂ 、PC ₃ 、PC ₄ Connecting lines are carried out, the game map is divided into four sub-map areas, and paths in the respective sub-map areas are all pointed to the PC according to PS ₁ 、PC ₂ 、PC ₃ 、PC ₄ The direction of the direction is updated to be a directional path, and then a corresponding preset direction is determined.

For example, PC ₁ Is the midpoint of the edge line on the game map, PS to PC ₁ Is upward (direction in the map is north), then the directions of the paths in the divided respective sub-map areas are all north.

In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for prompting information in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method for prompting information in a game provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

S201, determining at least one path to be planned located in the preset direction.

In this step, for each preset direction, at least one path to be planned in the preset direction needs to be determined.

Here, the path to be planned is a path which exists in a game scene and can be passed by the target virtual character, and the condition of the material existence on the path is determined during the material distribution activity.

S202, for each path to be planned, determining the quantity of materials which can be obtained by the target virtual role on the path to be planned based on the total quantity of materials existing on the path to be planned and the fight force of each virtual role passing through the path to be planned.

In the step, for each path to be planned, determining the amount of materials which can be acquired by a target virtual character controlled by a player on the path to be planned according to the amount of materials which exist on the path to be planned and the combat force of each virtual character passing through the path to be planned.

Here, it should be noted that, for each path to be planned, the number of materials existing on the path to be planned may be the actual number of materials on the current path to be planned, or may be the number obtained by predicting the number of materials on the path to be planned according to the occurrence of the number of historical props.

Here, the definition of all the virtual roles routed through the path to be planned is that the virtual roles of the path to be planned must be passed within the predicted time period when the target virtual role is on the path.

The limitation of the preset time period is to ensure that the target virtual character must meet other virtual characters after entering the path to be planned, so that the predicted time period can be a time period from the beginning of the target virtual character entering the path to be planned to the ending of the target virtual character leaving the path to be planned.

In one possible implementation manner, the information prompting method further includes:

c1: and inputting the current position of the target virtual character into a pre-trained position prediction model to obtain the next position of the target virtual character at the next moment.

In this step, the current position (coordinates in the game map) of the target virtual character controlled by the player is input into the pre-trained position prediction model, and the next position (corresponding to the above example, the next position is also the coordinates in the game map at the next time of the target virtual character) where the target virtual character is located is obtained.

Here, in locating the virtual position of the target, the virtual position of the target may be determined based on a game map that is abstracted from the game scene, and the virtual position of the target may be determined based on a game world coordinate system in the game scene.

The position prediction model is obtained by training according to a plurality of historical movement tracks of the target virtual character as samples, and the corresponding relation between the position of the target virtual character and the time sequence can be indicated in the position prediction model, so that the next position of the target virtual character at the next moment is accurately predicted.

Here, specifically, the corresponding ARIMA model may be obtained by training using the time series history data of the change of the player coordinates, and the next position occurring at the next time of the player may be predicted using the obtained ARIMA model and the current position of the player.

c2: and determining other virtual roles passing through the position path based on the time of the position path of the next position and the time of the other virtual roles passing through the position path.

In the step, after determining the next position of the target virtual character at the next moment in the step c1, determining a position path to which the next position belongs, and determining other virtual characters passing through the position path of the target virtual character by referring to the time of the other virtual characters passing through the position path of the target virtual character.

Wherein the other virtual characters of the path of the position refer to other virtual characters which are necessarily encountered with the target virtual character on the path of the position.

After determining the position path of the target virtual character at the next moment, determining the time period of the target virtual character passing through the position path according to the current moving speed of the target virtual character, or determining the time period of the target virtual character passing through the position path according to the historical moving data of the target virtual character, and determining the time of other virtual characters passing through the position path of the target virtual character in the time period, or determining other virtual characters which are not separated before the time period and when the target virtual character arrives as other virtual characters passing through the position path.

For example, the target avatar is at game time 15:00 arrives at the position path, and according to the movement data of the target virtual character, the time of the target virtual character on the position path can be determined to be 30 minutes, namely, the game time 15:30 will leave the position path, at this time, 3 other virtual characters exist in the game scene, and the time position of the virtual character a reaching the position path is calculated as 15 by the current position of each other virtual character and the moving speed of each virtual character: 10. the virtual character B arrives at the position path at a time position of 16: 10. the time position of the virtual character C to reach the position path is 14:55, when the passing time of the virtual character C on the location path is estimated to be 25 minutes, it can be determined that when the target virtual character arrives at the location path, the other virtual characters passing through the location path are virtual character a and virtual character C.

In one possible implementation, the step of determining, for each path to be planned, the number of materials that the target virtual character can acquire materials on the path to be planned based on the total number of materials existing on the path to be planned and the combat force of each virtual character passing through the path to be planned includes:

d1: and determining the material quantity percentage of the materials which can be obtained by the target role based on the ratio of the fight force of the target virtual role to the sum of the fight forces of all other virtual roles passing through the path to be planned.

In the step, according to the ratio between the fight force of the target virtual character and the sum of the fight forces of all other virtual characters on the path to be planned, determining the percentage of the number of materials which can be acquired by the target virtual character.

Here, for the ratio between the combat power of the target virtual character and the sum of combat power of all other virtual characters on the path to be planned, the determination of the percentage of the amount of the material available to the target virtual character may be performed by each virtual character when the combat power ratio is the same as the combination of the combat power ratio of the current target virtual character and N other virtual characters controlled by N players in the reference historical data, and the historical melon distribution of the material on the path to be planned is determined by each virtual character.

Specifically, when the combat ratio is the same as the combat ratio combination of the target virtual character controlled by the current player I and the N other virtual characters controlled by the N players in the historical data, each virtual character obtains the historical melon and fruit conditions of the materials on the path to be planned according to the MI of the materials obtained by the historical virtual character according to the same position of the combat of the target virtual character _get (the obtained materials are positive numbers, the lost materials are recorded as negative numbers), and the total melon-divided material quantity M _{total-history} Calculating the percentage PI of the number of the target virtual character materials to the number of the melon-divided materials _i 。

d2: and determining the material quantity of the material acquired by the target virtual role on the path to be planned based on the quantity percentage and the total quantity of the material existing on the path to be planned.

In the step, according to the material quantity percentage determined in the step d1 and the total material quantity existing on the path to be planned, the material quantity which can be acquired by the target virtual character on the path to be planned is determined.

Here, after determining the percentage of the available amount of the material, the amount of the material that the target virtual character can obtain on the path to be planned may be determined according to the percentage, and the amount of the material that the target virtual character can obtain may be a positive number (the target virtual character can obtain the material on the path to be planned), or may be a negative number (the target virtual character will lose the material on the path to be planned).

Specifically, the number of supplies that can be acquired can be determined by the following formula:

PI _i ＝MI _get /M _{total-history} ；

M’ _i ＝PI _i M _i ；

wherein PI is _i The target virtual character material quantity is a percentage of the melon-divided material quantity; MI (MI) _get Materials obtained for the historical virtual character; m is M _{total-history} The total melon material quantity; m's' _i Obtaining a material quantity for a target virtual player I; m is M _i And (3) the amount of materials existing on the route to be planned.

Here, based on the above analysis, when determining the number of materials that the target virtual character can acquire on the path to be planned, it is necessary to determine the total number of materials on the path to be planned and the combat power of each virtual character passing through the path to be planned, and the steps of determining the two amounts will be described below respectively:

first, for each path to be planned, determining the total amount of materials existing on the path to be planned by the following steps:

f1: and determining historical time sequence information of the occurrence condition of the materials on the path to be planned, and predicting the maximum material quantity and the minimum material quantity of the path to be planned at the next material occurrence moment.

In the step, historical time sequence information of the occurrence condition of the materials on the path to be planned is determined, and the maximum number of the materials and the minimum number of the materials which can occur when the path to be planned occurs at the next time are predicted.

Here, in the game, the materials are presented in batches according to the period, so the number of next presentation time instants of the materials can be predicted from the historical presentation situation of the materials.

In this embodiment of the present application, the Prophet algorithm may predict the maximum amount of materials that may occur at the time of the next material on the path to be planned and the minimum amount of materials that may occur according to the historical time sequence information of the occurrence of the materials on the path to be planned.

f2: and determining the quantity of the materials existing on the path to be planned based on the maximum quantity of the materials, the minimum quantity of the materials and the determined mode coefficient.

In the step, according to the maximum material quantity and the minimum material quantity determined in the step f1 and the mode coefficient corresponding to the mode selected by the player, determining the material quantity existing on the path to be planned.

Here, before the game starts, the player sets a mode of searching for materials in the game through game setting, and different game modes correspond to different mode coefficients, so that setting of path weights of each path to be planned is affected.

The mode of searching materials can be a cautious mode, a adventure mode and a custom mode; when the player does not select the game mode, the default game mode is the cautious mode.

Here, accordingly, the risk factor C is set to 1 if the player selects the cautious mode; setting the risk scaling coefficient C to 0 if the player selects the risk mode; if the player selects the custom mode, the risk factor C is set to the custom value K, c=kk e (0, 1).

Here, the amount of materials existing on the path to be planned is determined by the following formula:

wherein M is _i For the quantity of materials, M, existing on the route to be planned _min-i Is the minimum material quantity; m is M _max-i Is the maximum material quantity; c is a mode coefficient.

Secondly, aiming at each path to be planned, determining the fight force of other virtual roles passing through the path to be planned through the following steps:

g1: and determining the fight force of other virtual characters passing through the path to be planned based on the acquired fight force of other virtual characters and the mode coefficient.

In the step, the combat forces of other virtual characters in the path to be planned are determined according to the acquired current combat forces of other virtual characters in the path to be planned and mode coefficients corresponding to the modes selected by the player.

Here, the battle force for other virtual characters is also determined with reference to the game mode selected by the player in the game.

Wherein, the mode of searching materials can be a cautious mode, a adventure mode and a custom mode; when the player does not select the game mode, the default game mode is the cautious mode.

Here, the combat power of the other virtual characters of the path to be planned is determined by the following formula:

F′ _j ＝CF _j ，j∈[1，N]；

wherein F' _j The combat force of the virtual character I in the path passing through the path to be planned is provided; c is a mode coefficient; f (F) _j Is the combat force of the virtual character I.

S203, determining a path weight corresponding to the path to be planned based on the acquired material quantity.

In the step, a path weight corresponding to the path to be planned is determined according to the determined available material quantity on the path.

Here, the path weight of each path to be planned is determined by the amount of materials that the player can acquire when passing through the route, and specifically, the path weight corresponding to each path to be planned is proportional to the amount of materials that the player can acquire on the path to be planned.

In a specific example, the path weight of the path to be planned is equal to the number of materials that can be acquired by the player on the path to be planned, for example, the number of materials that can be acquired by the target virtual character controlled by the player on the path to be planned is 3, and then the path weight of the path to be planned may be set to 3.

S204, determining a target planning path in the preset direction based on the determined path weights corresponding to the paths to be planned.

In the step, a target planning path in the preset direction is screened from a plurality of paths to be planned according to the determined path weights corresponding to the paths to be planned.

In a possible implementation manner, the step of determining the target planned path in the preset direction based on the determined path weights corresponding to the paths to be planned includes:

h1: and filtering paths to be planned with path weights smaller than zero based on the path weights of the paths to be planned, and obtaining a plurality of candidate paths in a preset direction.

In the step, according to the path weights of the paths to be planned, corresponding to the paths to be planned, with the path weights smaller than zero are filtered out, so as to obtain a plurality of candidate paths in the preset direction.

Here, when the path weight of the path to be planned is smaller than zero, that is, when the path weight is negative, it is stated that the target virtual character is to lose the material in the path to be planned with a large probability, and in consideration of the requirement of acquiring more material, when the path is planned, the path with the path weight smaller than zero is set to be in an unvaried state, and when the treasured searching path is planned, the paths to be planned are not displayed any more.

h2: and updating the weight of the path weight corresponding to each candidate path, and determining the target planning path in the preset direction.

In the step, after updating the path weights corresponding to the candidate paths screened in the step h1, determining a target planning path from a plurality of candidate paths.

Here, when screening a plurality of candidate paths, the shortest path is calculated by using a floryd-warhalalgorism (flord) algorithm through the path weight, so that the negative number operation needs to be performed on the path weight corresponding to the candidate paths, and therefore, after the floryd algorithm is performed, the generated shortest path is actually the largest possible path for obtaining materials.

Specifically, the negative number operation can be performed on the path weight corresponding to each candidate path through the following formula:

LW _i ＝-LW _i ；

Wherein LW _i And the path weight value of the path I to be planned.

Here, the game map is selected to reach four azimuth coordinate points of leftmost upper, rightmost upper, leftmost lower and rightmost lower as the end points, and recorded as PE ₁ 、PE ₂ 、PE ₃ 、PE ₄ The midpoints of map edge lines of the uppermost, lowermost, leftmost and rightmost directions of the game map are selected and recorded as PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4 respectively; the first position of the target virtual character is PS, and 4 shortest path diagrams starting from the PC and ending from the PE are generated by using the Floyd algorithm; calculating PS point arrival PE from player initial position using Floyd algorithm ₁ 、PE ₂ 、PE ₃ 、PE ₄ Set up the shortest path of the terminal V _i To the end point V _j The shortest record of D _ij Endpoint V _i To the end point V _k The shortest record of D _ik Endpoint V _k To the end point V _j The shortest record of D _kj D is then _ij The calculation of (2) has the recursive formula as follows:

D _ij ＝min(D _ij ,D _ik +D _kj )；

wherein D is _ij Is the shortest path; d (D) _ik For the end point V _i To the end point V _k Is the shortest record of (2); d (D) _kj For the end point V _k To the end point V _j Is the shortest record of (c).

In the step, according to the material attribute of the available materials in each target planning path, the available materials on the determined multiple target planning paths can be compared, and the display mode corresponding to the target planning path is determined.

Here, after determining the target planned path in each preset direction, the material attributes of the available materials on the target planned paths in each preset direction are compared, so as to determine the display modes of the target planned paths in different preset directions.

Here, the property of the available materials may be the number of available materials on the target planned path, or may be the property of the available materials themselves (material use, etc.).

In one possible implementation manner, the step of determining, according to the property of the available material in each target planning path, the display mode corresponding to the target planning path includes:

i1: and determining the display brightness corresponding to each item target planning path according to the material attribute of the available material in each target planning path.

In the step, according to the material attribute of the available material in each item mark planning path, the display brightness corresponding to each item mark planning path is determined.

The more the number of the available materials on the target planning path and/or the higher the demand level of the target virtual character for the available materials, the brighter the corresponding display brightness.

Here, when determining the display mode of the available materials, different target planning paths may be displayed by different colors, so as to distinguish the situations of the available materials on the different target planning paths, and meanwhile, agree with the player with the mapping relationship between the different colors and the material attributes of the available materials.

For example, taking the property of the acquired materials as the number of the acquired materials, different intervals of the number of the acquired materials can be set and divided, each interval of the number of the acquired materials corresponds to a display color of a target planning path, after the target planning path is displayed, a player can evaluate the number of the acquired materials on each target planning path according to the display colors of different target planning paths, and then select a walking path.

Here, the property of the available materials may be the amount of the materials or the demand level of the target virtual character for the available materials, when determining the display mode of the target planning path, the two property may be determining the display mode of the target planning path alone or determining the display mode of the target planning path in combination, for example, the amount of the available materials on the two target planning paths is consistent, and when the two target planning paths need to be distinguished again in combination with the demand level of the target virtual character for the available materials, the display brightness of the target planning path with high demand level of the target virtual character for the available materials may be set higher.

In this step, according to the display mode of the target planned path in each preset direction determined in step S102, the target planned paths in each preset direction are displayed on the minimap according to the corresponding display mode.

Here, when displaying the target planned route, the target planned route in each preset direction may be displayed directly in the small map, or may be displayed in the large map after the player clicks the small map, but the display in the large map may not display all the target planned routes, only the target planned route that can be displayed in the current large map is displayed, and a certain reference is provided to the player's route selection.

In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of another method for prompting information in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method for prompting information in a game provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

s301, updating target planning paths in all preset directions in response to the satisfied path updating conditions.

In the step, when the route updating condition is determined to be triggered, the target planning route in each preset direction is rescreened, and the target planning route in each preset direction is updated.

Here, the path update condition includes at least one of: the number of materials on each path to be planned is changed, the position of the target virtual character deviates from the target planned path, the target virtual character reaches the end point of the target planned path, or the player changes the mode and reaches the path update time node.

The determining that the target virtual character position deviates from the target planning path or the target virtual character reaches the target planning path end point may be to track the position coordinates of the target virtual character, and determine that the target virtual character position deviates from the target planning path or the target virtual character reaches the target planning path end point when the position of the target virtual character is not on the planning path at the next moment or the position of the target virtual character reaches the target planning path end point at the next moment.

The number of materials on each path to be planned is changed, and in general, the actual number of materials on different planned paths deviates from the previously estimated number of materials, and then the target planned path needs to be updated.

The method includes that for the situation that a player changes a mode, calculation of the number of materials existing on each path to be planned and the combat force passing through each virtual character on the path to be planned are affected, and further, material properties of available materials in the path to be planned are affected, and determination of a target planning path is affected.

S302, displaying the updated target planning path in the preset direction on the small map according to the display mode of the updated target planning path in each preset direction.

In the step, according to the display mode of the target planning path updated in each preset direction, the target planning path in each preset direction is displayed on the small map according to the corresponding display mode.

Here, the display mode of the updated target planned path is identical to the display mode of the target planned path, and will not be described in detail herein.

j1: and hiding the multi-item label planned path displayed on the small map in response to the end of the treasuring activity and/or the received treasuring auxiliary end instruction.

Here, the precious searching activity in the game is limited for a certain time, and after the precious searching activity is finished, the target planning path for assisting the player to search the precious is not displayed any more, so that the clarity of the display information on the small map is ensured.

Here, the method may also be that the player actively ends the auxiliary seeking mode, for the above example, optionally, when receiving the second touch operation of the player for the auxiliary seeking control, or the second touch operation for the preset seeking operation area, or when any operation control displayed in the graphical user interface receives the preset second touch operation, it is determined that the auxiliary seeking ending instruction is received, so as to end the display of the target planned path.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a path diagram of a treasured seeking path planning display process provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the treasured seeking path planning display process includes:

Step 1: determining a player's selected seek mode during game play settings, wherein the seek modes for the above examples may include a discreet mode, a adventure mode, and a custom mode, and defaulting to the discreet mode if the player does not define the seek mode during game play settings;

step 2: detecting whether the auxiliary treasure hunt mode is closed (a second touch operation aiming at the auxiliary treasure hunt control is triggered), if the auxiliary treasure hunt mode is closed, ending the planning and displaying process of the current treasure hunt path, if the auxiliary treasure hunt mode is not closed, continuing to detect whether the playing method is ended (the ending of the treasure hunt activity), if the playing method is determined to be ended, ending the planning and displaying process of the current treasure hunt path; if the playing method is not finished, continuing the analysis process of the quantity of the treasures.

Step 3: the method comprises the steps of obtaining the actual/possible number of the path treasures, calculating path side weights based on the actual/possible number of the treasures, generating personalized routes according to the calculated path side weights, visualizing according to the path side weights and the arrangement sequence, and displaying target planning paths which can be selected by players according to corresponding display modes.

Step 4: and detecting whether a path updating condition is triggered, wherein the updating condition comprises the time when a player leaves the position at the last moment and deviates from the recommended route/reaches the end point of the recommended route/reaches the forced refreshing route, if the path updating condition is triggered, returning to the step 2 to continue planning the target planning path, and if the path updating condition is not triggered, waiting according to the time until the path updating condition is triggered, returning to the step 2 to continue planning the target planning path.
