FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a plurality of interfaces when an input for selecting a predetermined input key is received from an electronic device, according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2 , in step S210 , the electronic device 10 may obtain information on a plurality of user interfaces used in a game. Here, a user interface (UI) may mean an environment provided in the game for interaction between the game and the user. For example, the user may input a predetermined command through the user interface, and in the game, an operation or setting according to the predetermined command input by the user may be completed. Also, a predetermined command through the user interface may be input through the input device of the electronic device 10 .

For example, the information of the user interface may include at least one of a name of the user interface, information provided through the user interface, information that can be input through the user interface, and the purpose of the user interface. Also, the user interface information may include user interface specification information.

For example, the electronic device 10 may obtain information on a plurality of user interfaces used for a plurality of operations configured as one continuous operation in a game. The electronic device 10 may determine a first order indicating priorities among the plurality of user interfaces based on priorities of the plurality of operations.

As a specific example, when the level of the character in the game is achieved to a predetermined level, the user may be paid a predetermined point, and the points may be allocated to the character's ability value to improve the character's ability value. In this case, the user may check the points paid through the stat window including stat information for the character and increase the character's ability value. In addition, the user may improve the skill level of the character through the skill window. In addition, the user may select an item of the character through the item window and mount the selected item to the character. That is, when the level of the character in the game is achieved to a predetermined level, the user can change the information of the character through the stat window, the skill window, and the item window.

The electronic device 10 performs the operation of allocating points to the character's ability values, the operation of changing the skill level of the character, and the operation of changing the item mounted on the character as one continuous operation performed after the character's leveling up. can be decided with The electronic device 10 may obtain information on user interfaces used for one continuous operation performed after the character level-up. Here, the information of the user interfaces is information on the stat window, the skill window, and the item window.

Also, based on the user's input, the electronic device 10 receives information on the priority of the operation of allocating points to the character's ability value, the operation of changing the skill level of the character, and the operation of changing the item mounted on the character, based on the user's input. can be obtained The electronic device 10 may obtain priority information among the stat window, the skill window, and the item window based on the priority of the plurality of operations.

For example, the electronic device 10 may obtain group information of user interfaces used for preparatory operations for the first operation or subsequent operations for the second operation.

As a specific example, the electronic device 10 may obtain information on preparatory operations for the first operation, and may obtain first group information of user interfaces used for the preparatory operations. Also, the electronic device 10 may obtain information on subsequent operations for the second operation, and may obtain information on second group of user interfaces used for the subsequent operations.

For example, the electronic device 10 may obtain history information of user interfaces used by the user in the game. The electronic device 10 may acquire information on user interfaces used by the user through a series of motions in the game, based on the history information. A process of obtaining information on user interfaces based on the history information will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .

In operation S220 , the electronic device 10 may store first setting information in which a plurality of user interfaces correspond to the first input key based on the first order. For example, the input key may be a key that transmits a predetermined command or signal to the electronic device 10 . The input key may be provided in the form of a button or an icon on the screen output from the electronic device 10 , or may be provided as a predetermined button in the input device connected to the electronic device 10 . Here, the input device connected to the electronic device 10 may be a keyboard, a mouse, or a joystick.

For example, the electronic device 10 may match each of the plurality of user interfaces with the input order of the first input key based on the first order. The electronic device 10 may store first setting information including information corresponding to a plurality of user interfaces and an input order of the first input key.

For example, the first user interface may be set as the first priority, the second user interface as the second priority, and the third user interface as the third priority. The priority of the user interfaces may be determined based on a user input or preset criteria. For example, the preset criterion may be a criterion in which a ranking is determined according to an operation to be performed preferentially within a plurality of operations configured as one continuous operation. The electronic device 10 associates the first user interface with the primary input of the first input key, the second user interface with the secondary input of the first input key, and the third user interface with the primary input of the first input key. The first setting information corresponding to the tertiary input may be acquired. The electronic device 10 may store the first setting information.

As a specific example, the stat window may be set as the 1st priority, the skill window as the 2nd priority, and the item window as the 3rd priority. The electronic device 10 associates the stat window with the primary input of the first input key, the skill window with the secondary input of the first input key, and the item window with the tertiary input of the first input key. 1 You can obtain setting information. The electronic device 10 may store the first setting information.

For example, the electronic device 10 may store the first setting information in which the plurality of user interfaces correspond to the first input key based on the first progress status and the first order of the game. The electronic device 10 may also store information on a first progress state of a game using a plurality of user interfaces in correspondence with the first setting information.

Meanwhile, the progress of the game may indicate a state in which the user plays the game. For example, the information on the progress of the game may include information about at least one of the level of the character possessed by the user, the ability value, the item possessed by the user, the quest in progress, the stage in progress, and the achievement rate of the quest. is not limited to

In operation S230 , as an input for selecting the first input key is received, the electronic device 10 may sequentially display a plurality of user interfaces in a first order.

For example, when an input for selecting the first input key is firstly input, the electronic device 10 may display the first user interface. The electronic device 10 may receive the first command through the first user interface and complete the setting corresponding to the first command. When an input for selecting the first input key is input a second time, the electronic device 10 may end the display of the first user interface and display the second user interface. The electronic device 10 may receive the second command through the second user interface and complete the setting corresponding to the second command. When the input for selecting the first input key is input for the third time, the electronic device 10 may end the display of the second user interface and display the third user interface. The electronic device 10 may receive the third command through the third user interface and complete the setting corresponding to the third command.

The user may call the plurality of user interfaces by using one input key without inputting an input key for calling each of the plurality of user interfaces related to each other. The electronic device 10 may display a plurality of user interfaces that are related to each other in a predetermined order according to an input of one input key. That is, the user may call a plurality of user interfaces related to each other with one input key and set necessary information in the game without recognizing the shortcut keys of each of the plurality of user interfaces.

For example, the electronic device 10 may receive an input for selecting the first input key in the first progress situation of the game. The electronic device 10 may check whether the first progress status is related to the plurality of user interfaces. If it is recognized that the first progress situation is not related to the plurality of user interfaces, the electronic device 10 may limit the display of the plurality of user interfaces.

As a specific example, the electronic device 10 may check whether information required in the first progress situation is related to information that can be set through a plurality of user interfaces. If the information required in the first progress situation is not related to information that can be set through the plurality of user interfaces, the electronic device 10 may limit the display of the plurality of user interfaces.

For example, when the first input key is continuously input at an interval shorter than a preset time, the electronic device 10 skips the user interface corresponding to the input order input at a short interval and corresponds to the next order of the input order A user interface can be displayed.

As a specific example, when the first input key is input twice at an interval shorter than a preset time while the first user interface is displayed, the electronic device 10 ends the display of the first user interface, and the third user interface can be displayed. That is, the electronic device 10 may skip the display of the second user interface to be displayed next to the first user interface and display the third user interface.

For example, when a preset second input key is input in a predetermined order of the first input key, the electronic device 10 may display a user interface corresponding to the previous order of the predetermined order.

As a specific example, when the second input key is input instead of the first input key while the second user interface is displayed, the electronic device 10 displays the second user interface before displaying the second user interface. The displayed first user interface may be displayed.

For example, when an input for selecting the first input key is received, the electronic device 10 may check whether the progress of the game corresponds to the first progress. When the progress of the game is confirmed as the first progress, the electronic device 10 may sequentially display a plurality of user interfaces according to a first order. On the other hand, if the progress of the game is confirmed to be a second progress state different from the first progress state, the electronic device 10 may limit the display of the plurality of interfaces. A process of displaying the user interfaces according to the order in consideration of the progress of the game will be described with reference to FIG. 7 .

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of obtaining group information of user interfaces in an electronic device, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in step S310 , the electronic device 10 may obtain history information of user interfaces used by the user in the game.

For example, the electronic device 10 may acquire history information of user interfaces used by the user while playing the game for a preset time. In this case, the electronic device 10 may acquire history information of the user interfaces based on the progress of the game.

For example, the history information of the first user interface may include a time when the first user interface is used, a game progress status, a second user interface used before the first user interface is used, and a second user interface used after the first user interface is used. It may include at least one of the used third user interface and information input through the first user interface.

In operation S320 , the electronic device 10 may acquire a series of operation information of the user based on the history information.

For example, based on the history information, the electronic device 10 may obtain a series of motion information indicating motions continuously performed by the user in a predetermined game progress situation. For example, when the level-up of the character is completed based on the history information, the electronic device 10 may perform an operation of distributing points to the character's ability value, an operation of changing the skill level of the character, and mounting the character on the character based on the history information. It can be confirmed that it is an operation that continuously performs an operation to change an item.

The electronic device 10 obtains information on user interfaces repeatedly used by the user in a predetermined progress situation, based on history information in a progress situation identical to or similar to a predetermined progress situation, to obtain a series of operation information. can be obtained Accordingly, the electronic device 10 may exclude an operation corresponding to the user interface used less than a predetermined number of times from a series of operations.

In operation S330 , the electronic device 10 may acquire group information of user interfaces corresponding to a series of motion information of the user.

For example, the electronic device 10 may obtain group information of user interfaces corresponding to a series of operation information that the user may perform in a predetermined progress situation. For example, the electronic device 10 may obtain a stat window, a skill window, and an item window used when a character is leveled up as the first group information of the user interfaces.

Based on a user's input, the electronic device 10 may store setting information in which the order of the input key and the user interface are matched.

For example, when the level-up of the character is achieved in the game, the user may change the character's ability value, skill level, and item. In this case, the user adjusts the character's ability value based on the stat window related to the character's ability value, adjusts the character's skill level based on the skill window related to the character's skill level, and adjusts the character's skill level based on the item related item window You can change the equipped item. The user may set the information of the shortcut key corresponding to the stat window, the skill window, and the item window to the first input key. In this case, the user may associate the stat window, the skill window, and the item window according to the input order of the first input key.

Specifically, the electronic device 10 may determine a first input key for calling user interfaces to be used when the character level-up is achieved, from among a plurality of input keys, based on the user's input. For example, the user interfaces to be used when the character level-up is achieved may be a stat window, a skill window, and an item window. Based on the user's input, the electronic device 10 associates the stat window with the primary input of the first input key, the skill window with the secondary input of the first input key, and sets the item window with the primary input of the first input key. The first setting information corresponding to the tertiary input may be acquired. The electronic device 10 may store the first setting information.

Referring to FIG. 4B , the electronic device 10 may display a user interface according to the order of the input key and a screen for registering game progress information related to the input key. The process of registering the user interface according to the order of the input key is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 4A.

For example, the user may register a stat window, a skill window, and an item window, which are user interfaces to be used when a character's level-up is achieved, according to the order of the first input key. Then, the user may register the first progress status information of the game corresponding to the first input key. For example, the first progress status information may be information indicating a situation in which a character has completed a level-up in a game. Based on the user's input, the electronic device 10 may obtain first setting information in which a "level-up completed" situation corresponds to the first input key, and store the first setting information.

As another example, the user may register the notification window, the quest window, and the map window, which are user interfaces to be used for completing the character's quest, according to the order of the second input key. Then, the user may register the second progress status information of the game corresponding to the second input key. For example, the second progress information may be information indicating a situation in which a user completes a tutorial or a quest in a game. Based on the user's input, the electronic device 10 acquires second setting information in which a situation in which "tutorial is completed" or a situation in which "quest is completed" is matched with the second input key, and stores the second setting information can

FIG. 5A is a diagram for explaining a process of sequentially displaying a plurality of user interfaces according to an input of a predetermined key, according to an exemplary embodiment.

For example, when the level-up of the character is completed, the user may increase the character's ability through the stat window, increase the character's skill level through the skill window, and change the item to be mounted on the character through the item window. In this case, the user does not previously input a separate shortcut key previously set in each window of the stat window, skill window, and item window, but by inputting the first input key mapped to the stat window, skill window, and item window, the stat window, skill window , you can call the item window.

The processor 1040 may determine a first order indicating priorities among the plurality of user interfaces based on priorities of the plurality of operations.

As a specific example, when the level of the character in the game is achieved to a predetermined level, the user may be paid a predetermined point, and the points may be allocated to the character's ability value to improve the character's ability value. In this case, the user may check the points paid through the stat window including stat information for the character and increase the character's ability value. In addition, the user may improve the skill level of the character through the skill window. In addition, the user may select an item of the character through the item window and mount the selected item to the character. That is, when the level of the character in the game is achieved to a predetermined level, the user can change the information of the character through the stat window, the skill window, and the item window.

The processor 1040 divides the operation of allocating points to the character's ability values, the operation of changing the skill level of the character, and the operation of changing the item mounted on the character as one continuous operation performed after the character's leveling up. can decide The processor 1040 may obtain information on user interfaces used for one continuous operation performed after the character level-up.

In addition, the processor 1040 may obtain information on subsequent operations with respect to the second operation, and obtain information on second group of user interfaces used for the subsequent operations.

For example, the processor 1040 may obtain history information of user interfaces used by the user in the game. The processor 1040 may acquire information on user interfaces used by the user through a series of motions in the game, based on the history information.

For example, the processor 1040 may obtain history information of user interfaces used by the user while playing the game for a preset time. In this case, the processor 1040 may obtain history information of the user interfaces based on the progress of the game.

For example, the history information of the first user interface may include a time when the first user interface is used, a game progress status, a second user interface used before the first user interface is used, and a second user interface used after the first user interface is used. It may include at least one of the used third user interface and information input through the first user interface.

The processor 1040 may acquire a series of motion information of the user based on the history information.

For example, the processor 1040 may acquire a series of motion information indicating motions continuously performed by the user in a predetermined progress situation of the game, based on the history information. For example, the processor 1040, based on the history information, when the level-up of the character is completed, the user allocates points to the character's ability values, the operation of changing the skill level of the character, and the operation of the character equipped It can be confirmed that the operation of changing the item is continuously performed.

The processor 1040 acquires a series of operation information by acquiring information on user interfaces repeatedly used by the user in a predetermined progress situation based on history information in a progress situation identical to or similar to a predetermined progress situation in advance can do. Accordingly, the processor 1040 may exclude an operation corresponding to the user interface used less than a predetermined number of times from a series of operations.

The processor 1040 may obtain group information of user interfaces corresponding to a series of operation information of the user.

For example, the processor 1040 may obtain group information of user interfaces corresponding to a series of operation information that the user may perform in a predetermined progress situation. For example, the processor 1040 may obtain a stat window, a skill window, and an item window used when the character is leveled up as the first group information of the user interfaces.

The processor 1040 may store, in the memory 1030 , first setting information corresponding to the plurality of user interfaces with the first input key, based on the first order. For example, the input key may be a key that transmits a predetermined command or signal to the electronic device 10 . The input key may be provided in the form of a button or an icon on the screen output from the electronic device 10 , or may be provided as a predetermined button in the input device 1021 connected to the electronic device 10 .

The processor 1040 may store first setting information including information corresponding to a plurality of user interfaces and an input order of the first input key.

For example, the first user interface may be set as the first priority, the second user interface as the second priority, and the third user interface as the third priority. The priority of the user interfaces may be determined based on a user input or preset criteria. For example, the preset criterion may be a criterion in which a ranking is determined according to an operation to be performed preferentially within a plurality of operations configured as one continuous operation. The processor 1040 associates the first user interface with the primary input of the first input key, the second user interface with the secondary input of the first input key, and sets the third user interface with the third input of the first input key. The first setting information corresponding to the difference input may be acquired. The electronic device 10 may store the first setting information.

As a specific example, the stat window may be set as the 1st priority, the skill window as the 2nd priority, and the item window as the 3rd priority. The processor 1040 associates the stat window with the primary input of the first input key, the skill window with the secondary input of the first input key, and the item window with the tertiary input of the first input key. Setting information can be obtained. The electronic device 10 may store the first setting information.

For example, the processor 1040 may store the first setting information in which the plurality of user interfaces correspond to the first input key based on the first progress status and the first order of the game. The processor 1040 may also store information on a first progress state of a game using a plurality of user interfaces in correspondence with the first setting information.

Meanwhile, the progress of the game may indicate a state in which the user plays the game. For example, the information on the progress of the game may include information about at least one of the level of the character possessed by the user, the ability value, the item possessed by the user, the quest in progress, the stage in progress, and the achievement rate of the quest. is not limited to

As an input for selecting the first input key is received, the processor 1040 may sequentially display a plurality of user interfaces in a first order through the output device 1022 .

For example, when an input for selecting the first input key is first input, the output device 1022 may display the first user interface. The input device 1021 may receive a first command through the first user interface, and the processor 1040 may complete setting corresponding to the first command. When the input for selecting the first input key is secondarily input, the processor 1040 may end the display of the first user interface and display the second user interface through the output device 1022 . The input device 1021 may receive the second command through the second user interface, and the processor 1040 may complete setting corresponding to the second command. When the input for selecting the first input key is input for the third time, the output device 1022 may end the display of the second user interface and display the third user interface. The input device 1021 may receive the third command through the third user interface, and the processor 1040 may complete setting corresponding to the third command.

The user may call the plurality of user interfaces by using one input key without inputting an input key for calling each of the plurality of user interfaces related to each other. The electronic device 10 may display a plurality of user interfaces that are related to each other in a predetermined order according to an input of one input key. That is, the user may call a plurality of user interfaces related to each other with one input key and set necessary information in the game without recognizing the shortcut keys of each of the plurality of user interfaces.

For example, the input device 1021 may receive an input for selecting the first input key in the first progress situation of the game. The processor 1040 may determine whether the first progress status is related to the plurality of user interfaces. If it is recognized that the first progress situation is not related to the plurality of user interfaces, the processor 1040 may limit display of the plurality of user interfaces.

As a specific example, the processor 1040 may check whether information required in the first progress situation is related to information that can be set through a plurality of user interfaces. If the information required in the first progress situation is not related to information that can be set through the plurality of user interfaces, the processor 1040 may limit the display of the plurality of user interfaces.

For example, if the first input key is continuously input at an interval shorter than a preset time, the processor 1040 skips the user interface corresponding to the input order input at a short interval, and inputs the input through the output device 1022 . A user interface corresponding to the next order of the order may be displayed.

As a specific example, if the first input key is input twice at an interval shorter than a preset time while the first user interface is displayed, the processor 1040 ends the display of the first user interface, and the output device 1022 ) to display the third user interface. That is, the processor 1040 may skip the display of the second user interface to be displayed next to the first user interface, and display the third user interface through the output device 1022 .

For example, when a preset second input key is input at a predetermined order of the first input key, the output device 1022 may display a user interface corresponding to the previous order of the predetermined order.

As a specific example, when a second input key is input instead of the first input key while the second user interface is displayed, the electronic device 10 may display the output device 1022 before the second user interface is displayed. The displayed first user interface may be displayed.

For example, when an input for selecting the first input key is received, the processor 1040 may check whether the progress of the game corresponds to the first progress. When the progress of the game is confirmed as the first progress, the processor 1040 may sequentially display a plurality of user interfaces in a first order through the output device 1022 . For example, the stat window is set to be displayed in the primary input of the first input key, the skill window is set in the secondary input of the first input key, and the item window is displayed in the tertiary input of the first input key. can be The processor 1040 may sequentially display the stat window, the skill window, and the item window through the output device 1022 based on the input order of the first input key.

On the other hand, if the progress of the game is confirmed as the second progress state different from the first progress state, the processor 1040 may limit the display of the plurality of interfaces. Specifically, if the progress of the game is another progress state that is not related to the first progress state, it may not be necessary to display user interfaces corresponding to the first input key in the game. In this case, the processor 1040 may limit the display of user interfaces corresponding to the first input key.

The processor 1040 may store setting information in which a user interface used in a game progress situation corresponds to the first input key for each of a plurality of game progress situations.

For example, the plurality of progress situations may include a situation in which the character's level-up is completed, a situation in which the character's quest is completed, a situation in which an item is obtained, a situation in which hunting is in progress in a hunting ground, a situation in which a tutorial is completed, and the like, and the like. Examples are not limited.

The user may map at least one user interface to be used in a plurality of progress situations with the first input key. The processor 1040 obtains setting information corresponding to at least one user interface used in the progress situation to the first input key for each of a plurality of progress situations based on the user's input, and stores the setting information in the memory 1030 can be saved

In addition, the processor 1040 obtains information on at least one user interface related to information requiring a user's setting in a predetermined progress situation, and displays at least one user interface according to an input of the first input key in a predetermined progress situation Inquiry information to inquire whether or not to set it up can be displayed. The processor 1040 may set whether to display at least one user interface according to the input of the first input key in a predetermined progress situation, based on a user input responding based on the inquiry information.

For example, the processor 1040 may set the character's stat window to be displayed according to the input of the first input key in a situation where the character's level-up is completed. In addition, the processor 1040 may set to display a quest window indicating the quest completion status according to the input of the first input key in the character's quest completion situation. Also, the processor 1040 may set the item window to be displayed according to the input of the first input key in a situation where the item is obtained.

The input device 1021 may receive a first input for selecting a first input key in a first progress situation of a game.

The processor 1040 may display the first user interface corresponding to the first progress situation through the output device 1022 .
