In an embodiment of the present invention, when the screen switching condition event occurs, the view point switching unit 230 delays the screen switching time for a preset time.

4 to 7 are diagrams for explaining the screen switching time according to the present invention.

In Fig. 4, a screen switching signal is generated in the third-party shooting game played on the first play screen. However, if the screen is immediately switched to the second play screen, visual disturbance may occur. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the game character observation screen is switched to the second play screen after the elapse of t time.

On the other hand, when the game character performs an action such as shooting or moving, the first play screen is immediately switched from the first play screen to the second play screen without any time delay (see Figs. 6 and 7)

The viewpoint switching unit of the third-party shooting game controller according to an embodiment of the present invention continuously changes the viewing angle of the screen, thereby minimizing user confusion due to screen switching.
