In recent years, cloud games have increasingly large market occupation, and a dedicated game host platform usually selects a handle as an input device to meet the requirements of users on game operation sensitivity and operation hand feeling. In addition, when a user plays games on a handheld game terminal or a computer, the user is limited by the size of a screen or the flexibility of keyboard and mouse manipulation, and sometimes selects a handle as an input device. However, when using a handle as an input device, there are the following problems: the cross navigation key is not active when the joystick's joystick is used to control the movement of the cursor on the UI interface.

For example, a user can control the cursor to move on the UI interface in a mouse-like manner by manipulating the cursor through the joystick, and when many small UI icons or buttons are displayed on the UI interface, even a small UI button icon can be easily clicked by the mouse for a mouse user at a PC end game, but for a handle user at a host platform, it is difficult to precisely find a particular small icon or button by manipulating the cursor through the joystick. In addition, the user can also control the cursor to move on the UI interface through the cross navigation key, and if the player wants to press a certain button from the leftmost upper corner to the rightmost lower corner of the UI interface by Dpad-down, the player needs to repeat multiple operations (for example, click Dpad-down and Dpad-Right multiple times), which results in very tedious operations.

In order to solve the problems, the application provides a method, a device, an electronic device and a storage medium for controlling a cursor through a handle, which can not only support two control modes of a rocker and a key, but also realize seamless switching between the two control modes, so that the switching is convenient and fast, and the user confusion is not easily caused.

First, the names referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be briefly described.

In an embodiment of the present application, a graphical user interface may be provided by a terminal device, where:

The terminal device is installed and operated with an application program supporting a game scene, such as an application program supporting a three-dimensional game scene. The application program may include, but is not limited to, any one of a virtual reality application program, a three-dimensional map program, a military simulation program, a MOBA Game, a multi-player gunfight type survival Game, a Third-person Shooting Game (TPS). Alternatively, the application may be a standalone version of the application, such as a standalone version of the 3D game program, or may be a network online version of the application.

A graphical user interface:

the interface display format is used for human-computer communication, and allows a user to use an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard or a handle to manipulate icons, logos or menu options on a screen, and also allows the user to manipulate the icons or menu options on the screen by performing a touch operation on a touch screen of the touch terminal to select a command, start a program or perform other tasks. In a game scene, a game scene interface and a game configuration interface can be displayed in the graphical user interface.

Virtual roles:

refers to a virtual character in a virtual environment (e.g., a game scene), which can be a virtual character manipulated by a player, including but not limited to at least one of a virtual character, a virtual animal, a cartoon character, a non-player manipulated virtual character (NPC), and a virtual object, such as a static object in the virtual scene, for example, a virtual prop, a virtual task in the virtual scene, a location in the virtual environment, terrain, a house, a bridge, vegetation, and the like. Static objects are often not directly controlled by players, but can be made to behave accordingly in response to the interaction of a virtual character in the scene (e.g., attack, tear down, etc.), such as: the virtual character can demolish, pick, drag, build, etc. the building. Alternatively, the virtual object may not respond to the interaction behavior of the virtual character, for example, the virtual object may also be a building, a door, a window, a plant, etc. in the game scene, but the virtual character cannot interact with the virtual object, for example, the virtual character cannot destroy or remove the window, etc. Alternatively, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the virtual characters may be three-dimensional virtual models, each virtual character having its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment, occupying a portion of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the virtual character is a three-dimensional character constructed based on three-dimensional human skeleton technology, and the virtual character realizes different external images by wearing different skins. In some implementations, the virtual role may also be implemented by using a 2.5-dimensional or 2-dimensional model, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

There may be a plurality of virtual characters in the virtual scene, which are virtual characters manipulated by a player (i.e., characters controlled by the player through an input device, a touch screen), or Artificial Intelligence (AI) set in virtual environment battle by training. Optionally, the virtual character is a virtual character playing a game in the game scene. Optionally, the number of virtual characters in the game scene match is preset, or is dynamically determined according to the number of terminal devices participating in the virtual match, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In one possible implementation, the user can control the virtual character to move within the virtual scene, e.g., control the character to run, jump, crawl, etc., and can also control the virtual character to fight other virtual characters using skills, virtual props, etc., provided by the application.

In an alternative embodiment, the terminal device may be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used for presenting a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, namely, a game program is downloaded and installed and operated through the electronic device conventionally. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal device or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including a game scene and a game configuration interface, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

An application scenario to which the present application is applicable is introduced. The method and the device can be applied to the technical field of games, and a plurality of players participating in the games join the same virtual battle together in the games.

Before entering the virtual match, the player can select different character attributes, such as identity attributes, for the virtual character in the virtual match, and determine different battles by allocating the different character attributes, so that the player wins the game match by executing tasks allocated by the game in different match stages of the virtual match, for example, a plurality of virtual characters with A character attributes are subjected to 'elimination' in the match stages to obtain the win of the game match. Here, when entering the virtual battle, the character attributes may be randomly assigned to each virtual character participating in the virtual battle.

An implementation environment provided by one embodiment of the present application may include: the system comprises a first terminal device, a server and a second terminal device, wherein the first terminal device and the second terminal device are respectively communicated with the server to realize data communication. In this embodiment, the first terminal device and the second terminal device are respectively installed with an application program for executing the method for controlling the cursor through the handle provided by the present application, and the server is a server side for executing the method for controlling the cursor through the handle provided by the present application. The first terminal device and the second terminal device are enabled to communicate with the server respectively through the application program.

Taking the first terminal device as an example, the first terminal device establishes communication with the server by running the application program. In an alternative embodiment, the server establishes the virtual match based on a game request from an application. The parameters of the virtual match may be determined according to parameters in the received game request, for example, the parameters of the virtual match may include the number of people participating in the virtual match, the level of the character participating in the virtual match, and the like. When the first terminal device receives a response of the game server, a game scene corresponding to the virtual battle is displayed through a graphical user interface of the first terminal device, the first terminal device is a device controlled by a first user, a virtual character displayed in the graphical user interface of the first terminal device is a player character (namely, a first virtual character) controlled by the first user, the first user inputs a character operation instruction through the graphical user interface to control the player character to execute corresponding operation in the game scene, and the first user also inputs a cursor control instruction through the graphical user interface to control a cursor to move on the graphical user interface.

Taking the second terminal device as an example, the second terminal device establishes communication with the server by running the application program. In an alternative embodiment, the server establishes the virtual match based on a game request from the application. The parameters of the virtual match may be determined according to parameters in the received game request, for example, the parameters of the virtual match may include the number of people participating in the virtual match, the level of the character participating in the virtual match, and the like. And when the second terminal equipment receives the response of the server, displaying the game scene corresponding to the virtual battle through the graphical user interface of the second terminal equipment. The second terminal device is a device controlled by a second user, the virtual character displayed in the graphical user interface of the second terminal device is a player character (i.e. a second virtual character) controlled by the second user, the second user inputs a character operation instruction through the graphical user interface to control the player character to execute corresponding operation in the virtual scene, and the second user also inputs a cursor control instruction through the graphical user interface to control the cursor to move on the graphical user interface.

The server performs data calculation according to the game data reported by the first terminal device and the second terminal device, and synchronizes the calculated game data to the first terminal device and the second terminal device, so that the first terminal device and the second terminal device control the graphical user interface to render a corresponding game scene and/or virtual character according to the synchronization data issued by the game server.

In the present embodiment, a first virtual character controlled by a first terminal device and a second virtual character controlled by a second terminal device are virtual characters in the same virtual match. The first virtual role controlled by the first terminal device and the second virtual role controlled by the second terminal device may have the same role attribute or different role attributes, and the first virtual role controlled by the first terminal device and the second virtual role controlled by the second terminal device may belong to the same camp or different camp.

In the virtual match, two or more virtual characters may be included, and different virtual characters may correspond to different terminal devices, that is, in the virtual match, two or more terminal devices may transmit and synchronize game data with the game server, respectively.

For the convenience of understanding of the present application, the method, the apparatus, the electronic device and the storage medium for controlling the cursor through the handle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method for controlling a cursor through a handle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application specifically includes:

step S101: and displaying the target interface through the terminal equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, the graphical user interface can be provided through the terminal equipment, and the target interface is an interface displayed on the graphical user interface.

In a preferred embodiment, the target interface may refer to an interface displayed on the terminal device for presenting the plurality of controls in a static form. For example, the presentation in a static form herein may be understood as that the display positions of the plurality of controls on the interface do not move, that is, the display positions of the controls do not move along with the operation performed by the user on the interface (for example, the user manipulates a cursor, and a specific key is triggered). In other words, the display positions of the multiple controls on the interface are fixed, and the multiple controls can be selected based on the operation performed by the user on the interface to trigger the function corresponding to the selected control.

Taking the above terminal device running a game program as an example, a game scene picture corresponding to a game may be displayed in the graphical user interface, in which case, the target interface may refer to a game configuration picture corresponding to a game running in the terminal device.

As an example, the game configuration screen may include any one of: the virtual battle management system comprises a character parameter configuration interface aiming at a virtual character in the game, a task viewing interface aiming at a virtual task in the game, a knapsack viewing interface aiming at a virtual knapsack equipped by the virtual character, and a battle parameter configuration interface aiming at the virtual battle.

Referring to fig. 2, one way of displaying the target interface is described by taking the target interface as a game configuration screen in the game.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating steps provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application to display a target interface.

Referring to fig. 2, in step S201, a game scene screen corresponding to a virtual character located in a game scene is displayed in a graphical user interface provided by a terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the game scene picture is a picture obtained by observing a game scene with a view angle corresponding to a virtual character, for example, the game scene picture may be a game scene picture at a first person view angle or a third person view angle (also referred to as a god view angle), the game scene picture may include a game scene, and may further include a game scene and a virtual character located in the game scene, and the virtual character is configured to execute a virtual action according to a game instruction received by a terminal device.

Illustratively, each virtual character has a one-to-one virtual camera in the virtual environment, and in this step, the position of the virtual camera changes synchronously with the position of the virtual character, so that the game scene pictures collected by the virtual camera change along with the change of the position of the virtual character.

Corresponding to the game configuration picture displayed in the static form, the game scene picture can be understood as an interface displayed in a dynamic form. In the game scene picture, along with the operation performed by the user on the interface, at least one of the following changes exists: the game scene changes, the position of the virtual character in the game scene changes, and the position and/or shape of the virtual object in the game scene changes.

In step S202, in response to a manipulation for the virtual character, the virtual character is controlled to perform an action corresponding to the manipulation in the virtual scene.

Here, the above-mentioned manipulation is issued by the game player to the terminal device, and is used for controlling the virtual character to execute the action instructed by the manipulation in the game scene of the graphical user interface.

Taking the manipulation for the virtual character as a moving operation, in this step, the virtual character may be controlled to move in the game scene in response to the moving operation for the virtual character, and the range of the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be controlled to change correspondingly according to the movement of the virtual character.

The movement operation in the embodiment of the application is used for controlling the virtual character to move in the game scene of the graphical user interface. The terminal device responds to the movement operation, can control the virtual character to move in the game scene, and along with the movement of the virtual character, the position of the virtual character in the game scene can correspondingly change, namely the terminal device responds to the movement operation, and can also control the game scene range displayed in the graphical user interface to correspondingly change according to the movement of the virtual character.

For example, the game scene picture displayed in the graphical user interface may be a picture obtained by observing a game scene with a virtual character as an observation center, and when the virtual character in the game scene is manipulated to move, the game scene picture moves along with the movement, that is, the observation center of the game scene picture is bound with the position of the virtual character, so that the observation center moves along with the movement of the position of the virtual character. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other observation positions in the game scene may be used as the observation centers, as long as the range of the displayed game scene changes in accordance with the movement of the virtual character.

For example, the process of controlling the virtual character to move in the game scene may include: receiving a selection operation of a game player for a virtual character, and controlling the virtual character to move in a game scene in response to a dragging operation for the selected virtual character; alternatively, the selection operation of the game player for the virtual character may be received, and the virtual character may be controlled to move to the selected position in response to the position selection operation performed in the game scene. As an example, the move operation may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: on the computer end, clicking the virtual character through a left mouse button without loosening, and dragging the mouse to change the position of the virtual character in the game scene; or on the mobile terminal, the virtual character is pressed by fingers for a long time without loosening, and the position of the virtual character in the game scene is changed by sliding the fingers on the graphical user interface; or on the host platform, the direction is selected by toggling the first rocker of the handle, and the virtual character is controlled to move towards the direction pointed by the first rocker in the game scene or stop moving by toggling the second rocker of the handle.

Furthermore, as the game scene range changes according to the movement of the virtual character, another virtual character may be included in the changed game scene (here, another virtual character may also be included in the game scene before the change), where the another virtual character is a virtual character controlled by another player in the current virtual game. Similarly, the terminal devices of other players respond to the movement operation thereof, and can also control another virtual character to move in the game scene, and along with the movement of the other virtual character, the position of the other virtual character in the game scene also changes correspondingly.

For example, a virtual character may perform a system-specified task in a game scenario to achieve a goal of winning a task, as may another virtual character in a game scenario. If the virtual character is a virtual character with a first character attribute and the other virtual character is a virtual character with a second character attribute, the virtual character can be confused when the other virtual character executes a task, or the other virtual character is eliminated, or a task formulated for the virtual character is completed in the process that the other virtual character executes the task; if the virtual character is a virtual character having the second character attribute and the other virtual character is a virtual character having the first character attribute, the same process as above may be performed; if the virtual role and the other virtual role have the same role attribute, the virtual role and the other virtual role can execute tasks together or respectively, and can also search for other virtual roles with the other role attribute together or respectively so as to interfere the other virtual roles to execute the tasks and kill the other virtual roles.

In step S203, in response to a preset trigger event, the screen displayed in the graphical user interface is controlled to be switched from the game scene screen to the target interface.

Here, the preset trigger event refers to an event for triggering interface switching.

In an alternative embodiment, the triggering event may include at least one of: in this case, switching of the screen displayed in the graphical user interface may be triggered by controlling the virtual character to move to a specific position in the game scene, or the virtual character to pick up a specific virtual item in the game scene, the virtual character triggering a specific virtual task in the game scene, or the virtual game entering a specific game stage.

In an alternative embodiment, the triggering event is a switching operation for triggering switching from the game scene screen to the target interface, and exemplary switching operations may include, but are not limited to: and for the operation of the configuration options displayed on the graphical user interface, the game configuration interface is displayed by exiting the game scene picture.

The method of the embodiment of the present application is suitable for controlling the movement of the cursor through the handle on the game configuration interface, and the input of the handle can be controlled in other ways in the game scene, in other words, the method of controlling the cursor through the handle of the present application does not support the use in the game scene.

It should be understood that the above describes one way to enter the target interface, i.e., to switch from a game scene, but the application is not limited thereto, and the entering the target interface may be triggered by other ways.

Returning to fig. 1, step S102: and receiving a first control instruction aiming at the cursor through a key of the handle, and controlling the cursor to move in a first movement mode on the target interface.

Here, the first movement manner includes: and controlling the cursor to move from the control currently indicated by the cursor to the next control in the direction indicated by the first control instruction on the target interface. The cursor moving on the target interface may also be referred to as a free cursor, and an initial position of the cursor on the target interface may be set according to a requirement, which is not limited in this application. Further, the change in coordinates of the cursor in the first movement pattern is discrete and discontinuous, e.g., the cursor jumps from the currently indicated control to the next control.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic view of a handle provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

In this example, the handle 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots, such as mounting

slots

11, 12, 13 shown in the figure, the handle 10 includes a key and a rocker, taking the handle shown in the figure including 2 rockers as an example, a first rocker A1 is disposed in the mounting slot 11, a key B is disposed in the mounting slot 12, and a second rocker A2 is disposed in the mounting slot 13.

Under the target interface, the first rocker A1, the second rocker A2 and the key B on the handle 10 can all be used for controlling the movement of the cursor on the target interface. The differences of the rocker and the key on cursor control are as follows: the keys are preset with fixed moving directions, for example, the key B is a cross key, each extending end of the cross corresponds to one moving direction, for example, the upper extending end of the cross corresponds to the control cursor moving upward on the target interface, the lower extending end of the cross corresponds to the control cursor moving downward on the target interface, the left extending end of the cross corresponds to the control cursor moving leftward on the target interface, and the right extending end of the cross corresponds to the control cursor moving rightward on the target interface. That is, by operating any extending end of the button B on the handle 10, the cursor can be controlled to automatically navigate to the next focus point on the target interface beyond the direction indicated by the extending end, and each time the button B is pressed, the cursor performs an automatic navigation action on the target interface.

For each rocker, the direction of movement of the cursor on the target interface changes with the direction of toggling of the rocker. The rocker can be shifted in any direction exceeding 360 degrees, so that the control on the moving direction of the vernier is very flexible.

It should be understood that besides the rocker and the key, other mounting grooves may be provided on the handle, so as to arrange various other functional keys in the other mounting grooves. The function key is used for triggering a preset certain function, for example, in a game scene, in response to an operation on the certain function key, the virtual character is controlled to execute a corresponding specific action, or a designated backpack is opened. In addition, the structure of the handle shown in the above figures is only an example, and the present application is not limited thereto, and the handle may be arranged in other manners, as long as the handle includes a key and a rocker.

Taking the game program running in the terminal device as an example, when a game scene picture corresponding to the game is displayed in the graphical user interface provided by the terminal device, the virtual character can be controlled to execute actions in the game scene through the rocker and/or the key of the handle, and when a game configuration picture corresponding to the game is displayed in the graphical user interface provided by the terminal device, the cursor can be controlled to move on the game configuration picture through the rocker or the key of the handle. Optionally, in the game configuration interface, no response is made to the operation of other various functional keys (keys except for the key and the rocker) arranged on the handle. However, the present application is not limited to this, and may respond to the operation of other various function keys.

By the mode, two control modes of the rocker and the key of the handle can be supported aiming at the target interface, and the switching between the rocker and the key on the handle can be realized.

Step S103: and receiving a second control instruction aiming at the cursor through a rocker of the handle, controlling the cursor to switch from the first moving mode to the second moving mode on the target interface, and controlling the moving distance of the cursor on the target interface according to the second control instruction.

Here, the second movement manner includes: and controlling the cursor to determine the moving distance of the cursor in the direction indicated by the second control instruction on the target interface according to the moving sensitivity and the time length indicated by the second control instruction.

For example, the movement sensitivity may be determined according to a pressure value of the joystick being dialed, for example, a pressure value corresponding to the dialing may be detected when the joystick is dialed in the over-specified direction, the movement sensitivity is higher when the detected pressure value is larger (i.e., the moving speed of the cursor on the target interface is faster), and the movement sensitivity is lower when the detected pressure value is smaller (i.e., the moving speed of the cursor on the target interface is slower). It should be understood that the above-mentioned manner for determining the movement sensitivity is only an example, and the movement sensitivity may also be determined by other manners, which is not limited in the present application.

For example, the duration indicated by the second control instruction may be determined according to the duration of the rocker being toggled, for example, the duration of the rocker being toggled may be directly determined as the duration indicated by the second control instruction, or it may also be determined that the duration indicated by the second control instruction is in positive correlation with the duration of the rocker being toggled.

Further, the change in coordinates of the cursor in the second manner of movement is continuous, e.g., the cursor does not discretely jump from the currently indicated control to the next control. In the above steps, the moving direction of the cursor on the target interface can be determined according to the direction in which the rocker is toggled, and the moving distance of the cursor on the target interface is controlled according to the pressure value and the duration in which the rocker is toggled.

In the embodiment of the present application, when a response is made to a preset input instruction, the response to a target input instruction is prohibited. Here, the preset input instruction is one of the first control instruction and the second control instruction, and the target input instruction is the other of the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

That is, when responding to the first control instruction, the response to the second control instruction is prohibited, and/or, when responding to the second control instruction, the response to the first control instruction is prohibited. In other words, at any one time under the target interface, the terminal device responds to the input of only one control module on the handle, i.e. the input of the control module of one of the rocker and key on the handle is valid.

In the embodiment of the present application, the prohibition of the response to the target input instruction includes the following two cases.

In one case, the target input instruction is not detected to inhibit responding to the target input instruction.

In this case, the switching operation for switching the manner of movement for the cursor may be triggered by other control modules on the handle, that is, by other control modules other than the input of the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

For example, if one function key on the handle is preset as a key for triggering the switching operation, and when the cursor is controlled to move on the target interface in a first movement mode through the key of the handle, if the operation on the preset one function key is received, the switching is triggered, so that the cursor is controlled to switch from the first movement mode to a second movement mode on the target interface.

In another case, a target input command is detected, but a response to the target input command is inhibited.

That is, when the control cursor moves on the target interface according to the preset input instruction, the target input instruction can be received, but the response to the target input instruction is forbidden, that is, the control cursor does not move on the target interface according to the movement mode indicated by the target input instruction.

In this case, the switching operation for switching the movement pattern for the cursor may be triggered by a control module on the handle corresponding to the target input instruction, that is, a rocker on the handle triggers the switching operation from the first movement pattern to the second movement pattern.

For example, the second control instruction may include a first switching sub-instruction and a first manipulating sub-instruction, where the first switching sub-instruction is used to control the cursor to switch from the first movement mode to the second movement mode at the target interface, and the first manipulating sub-instruction is used to control the cursor to move in the second movement mode at the target interface.

In this embodiment, the first switching sub-command and the first manipulating sub-command may be commands generated by the joystick under the same triggering action, for example, a motion of the joystick beyond a certain direction. For example, if the user wants to switch the cursor from the key control to the joystick control, the user can directly dial the joystick (corresponding to the first switching sub-command, where the dial direction and pressure may not be limited) to activate the joystick, and then control the movement of the cursor on the target interface according to the manipulation of the joystick (corresponding to the first manipulation sub-command) after the joystick is activated.

In addition, the first switching sub-command and the first manipulating sub-command may also be commands generated by the joystick under different triggering actions, for example, the first switching sub-command may be a pressing operation performed on the joystick, and the first manipulating sub-command may be a shifting operation performed on the joystick.

In the embodiment of the application, the rocker on the handle is used for triggering the switching operation from the first movement mode to the second movement mode, that is, the switching operation is triggered by the switched target object, so that switching confusion of a user can be effectively avoided, and the user cannot confirm which control mode for the cursor is currently positioned.

Step S104: and receiving a third control instruction aiming at the cursor through a key of the handle, and controlling the cursor to switch from the second movement mode to the first movement mode on the target interface.

In the embodiment of the application, the button and the rocker of the handle can be switched back and forth, that is, after the second control command is received, the cursor can be controlled to be switched from the first moving mode to the second moving mode, after that, when the third control command is received, the cursor can be controlled to be switched from the second moving mode to the first moving mode, after that, if the second control command for the cursor is received through the rocker of the handle, the cursor is controlled to be switched from the first moving mode to the second moving mode again, and the process is repeated.

In the case where the target input command is not detected, the switching operation for switching the moving manner of the cursor may be triggered by another control module on the handle, that is, by another control module other than the input of the third control command and the second control command.

For example, if another function key on the handle is preset as a key for triggering the switching operation, and when the joystick of the handle is used to control the cursor to move on the target interface in the second movement mode, if the operation on the preset another function key is received, the switching is triggered, so as to control the cursor to switch from the second movement mode to the first movement mode on the target interface.

In the case of detecting the target input command, the switching operation for switching the moving mode of the cursor may be triggered by a control module on the handle corresponding to the target input command, that is, a key on the handle triggers the switching operation from the second moving mode to the first moving mode.

For example, the third control instruction may include a second switching sub-instruction and a second manipulating sub-instruction, where the second switching sub-instruction is used to control the cursor to switch from the second movement mode to the first movement mode at the target interface, and the second manipulating sub-instruction is used to control the cursor to move in the first movement mode at the target interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second switching sub-instruction and the second manipulating sub-instruction may be instructions generated by the key under the same triggering action. For example, if the user wants to switch the cursor from the joystick control to the key control, the user can directly press the key (corresponding to the second switch sub-command, here, pressing any extension end of the key) to activate the key, and after the key is activated, the user can control the movement of the cursor on the target interface according to the manipulation of the key (corresponding to the second manipulation sub-command).

In addition, the second switching sub-command and the second manipulation sub-command may also be commands generated by the key under different trigger actions, for example, the second switching sub-command may be a long-press operation performed on the key, and the second manipulation sub-command may be a short-press operation performed on the joystick. Or, the second switching sub-instruction may be a predetermined number of pressing operations on the key within a predetermined time, and the second manipulation sub-instruction may be a short pressing/long pressing operation on the joystick.

In the embodiment of the present application, in a case that the key is a cross key, the switching operation may be implemented by using a specific extending end (e.g., dpad Right) of the cross key.

In a preferred embodiment, the method for controlling a cursor through a handle according to the embodiment of the present application may further include prompting, on the graphical user interface, switching of the moving mode of the cursor.

For example, after the switching of the cursor movement manner is completed, prompt information corresponding to the switched control module is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the prompt information may be, for example, text information for indicating the switched control module, or a schematic image similar/identical to the external structure of the switched control module.

In a preferred embodiment, the display transparency of the prompt message on the graphical user interface can be adjusted to avoid blocking the content displayed on the graphical user interface.

It should be understood that, in the method for controlling a cursor by a handle according to the embodiment of the present application, the two control modes of the handle, i.e., the joystick and the key, can be switched arbitrarily, and the method is not limited to the above-mentioned switching process from the key → the joystick → the key → the joystick, but can be switched repeatedly between the joystick and the key, and only needs to satisfy the switching condition.

In a preferred embodiment, the control module that is initially valid upon entry into the target interface may be selected based on the presentation properties of a plurality of controls displayed in the target interface. It should be understood that the present application is not limited thereto, and an initial control module set under the target interface may be preset, and the preset initial control module is activated each time the target interface is entered, and then the switching is performed between the rocker and the key of the handle based on the switching manner.

For example, the initial control module in an active state under the target interface may be determined by any one of: the control module selected by the user when the user exits the target interface for the last time, the default control module, the control module determined based on the display attributes of the controls displayed on the target interface, and the control module determined based on the number of times of use/frequency of use/duration of use of each control module by the user (for example, the control module with the largest number of times of use).

In a preferred embodiment, the step of determining an initial control module under the target interface based on the presentation properties of the plurality of controls displayed on the target interface may comprise: and determining an initial control module under the target interface from the keys and the rocker according to the display attributes of the plurality of controls on the target interface.

Specifically, whether the multiple controls meet the preset display condition or not can be determined according to the display attribute of each control on the target interface. Here, the preset presentation condition may be used to characterize the display complexity of the multiple controls on the target interface.

Illustratively, the presentation properties include a display layout and/or a display number of the plurality of controls on the target interface, i.e., the display complexity of the plurality of controls on the target interface is measured in terms of the display layout and/or the display number.

In this case, the preset presentation condition may include at least one of: the number of the controls displayed in any preset display area is not less than a first set value; the total number of the plurality of controls exposed on the target interface is not less than a second set value. Here, the target interface may be divided into a plurality of preset display areas, and the size of each preset display area may be the same or different.

If the preset display conditions are met, the display complexity of each control on the target interface is high, and at the moment, the rocker can be selected as an initial control module under the target interface to control the cursor to be quickly positioned around the target control.

If the preset display condition is not met, the display complexity of each control on the target interface is low, and at the moment, the key can be selected as an initial control module under the target interface to control the cursor to be accurately positioned to the target control.

Therefore, any control can be selected quickly and accurately in the target interface, and the operation steps are simplified.

In an example, assuming that the initial control module under the target interface is a rocker of the handle, at this time, a certain control around the target control may be selected by one operation on the rocker, and then the target control is accurately located through navigation of the key. For example, a control around the target control can be selected by manipulating the joystick, and then the operation is switched to key manipulation for fine tuning. Therefore, the keys can be used for navigating to the upper, lower, left and right tiny buttons close to the keys at any selected position, so that the problem of inaccurate control precision of the rocker is avoided, and the key navigation is prevented from being used for multiple times.

Through the mode, a user can freely use the rocker or the key navigation to control the movement of the cursor according to the position of the target control in the target interface, the key navigation can be used for controlling the control with a relatively close position and a relatively small target, and the rocker can be used for controlling the cursor to be quickly selected for the control with a relatively far position.

According to the method for controlling the cursor through the handle, two modes of key navigation and a free cursor based on a rocker can be supported, the operation difficulty of a handle player facing a complex UI interface can be simplified, seamless free switching can be performed between the two modes at any time, and the operation freedom of the player can be more free.
