Hereinafter, in the present invention, a method capable of easily performing multiple selection of a plurality of objects, multiple selection cancellation, and selection for each subgroup after multiple selection is implemented on the tactical screen of the naval battle system operated using a trackball.

The present invention relates to a method of 1) multiple selection of objects on a tactical screen of a naval battle system and a method of canceling all/part of multiple selections, and 2) a method of multiple selection of objects and a subgroup selection of multiple selections on the tactical screen of a naval battle system. Presented.

According to this, it is easy to select multiple objects and cancel multiple selections for multiple objects displayed on the tactical screen of the naval battle system using the existing trackball without an additional device, and subgroup selected multiple objects according to predefined criteria. As it can be reclassified and selected, the usability and convenience of the trackball are improved in relation to the manipulation of the tactical screen of the ship combat system.

On the other hand, the method of multiple selection and deselection of objects according to the present invention described below is assumed to be executed by the apparatus of the naval battle system.

To this end, the apparatus of the naval combat system may include a processor, memory, etc. that can execute instructions corresponding to steps/processes described below, and instructions corresponding to steps/processes described below in program form. Can be embedded.

Further, the device may include an output device and an input device (track ball) for displaying the tactical screen.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a method for multiple selection and deselection of objects according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 1, a step of recognizing different inputs for a first point and a second point on the tactical screen of the naval battle system is performed (S10).

Here, the first point is a starting point of an object range to be multi-selected in the tactic screen, and the second point is an end point of an object range to be multi-selected. Further, the object may include one or more targets.

In addition, here, the different inputs may mean that the number of inputs using a trackball, a pressure level corresponding to the input, and an input interval are different from each other.

As described above, when different inputs for the first point and the second point are recognized, the step of multi-selecting an object existing in an area created based on the first point and the second point is performed (S20).

Here, a virtual first selection area may be displayed in an area generated based on the first point and the second point.

Further, the virtual first selection area may be, for example, a virtual figure area (eg, a rectangle) created by using the first point and the second point as diagonal vertices. In addition, an image visually indicating that a region for multi-selection has been selected, for example, a different color and a different transparency value may be applied to the virtual figure region.

In this way, objects included in the first selection area are multi-selected, and objects existing outside the first selection area are excluded from the multiple selection.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, referring to step 1, a first input corresponding to a first point is sensed through a specific key combination (eg, Ctrl key + Left one click). Alternatively, the first input corresponding to the first point may be detected through another key combination (eg, Ctrl key + Left double click). Alternatively, it is possible to determine whether to detect the first input by another key combination that is not described.

This may be recognized as a starting point for generating the virtual first selection area. In this case, a preset display (eg, a red star) may be output at a position corresponding to the starting point.

Next, referring to step 2, while a preset display is output at a position corresponding to the starting point, a second input corresponding to the second point is sensed through a specific key (eg, Left one click). This may be recognized as an end point for generating the virtual first selection area. In this case, a preset display (eg, a black star) may also be output at a location corresponding to the end point.

As shown in Step 2, a rectangular image having the start point and the end point as diagonal vertices is displayed as the first selection area, and the selected multi-object range is displayed. For example, the first selection area may be displayed in the form of a square image having a transparency of 50% or more.

Next, as shown in step 3, a selection mark is output to each of the multiple objects included in the first selection area. In this way, multiple selection of an object can be performed simply by selecting a start point and an end point through different predefined inputs, thereby improving usability and convenience of the trackball for manipulating the tactical screen.

In a state in which multiple objects are selected as described above, the apparatus of the naval combat system performs a step of recognizing different inputs for the third and fourth points within the created area (S30).

Next, the apparatus of the naval battle system may deselect an object in an area created based on the third point and the fourth point from among the multi-selected objects (S40).

Here, the third point may be a start point of the object range to be deselected, and the fourth point may mean an end point of the object range to be deselected. In addition, a virtual second selection area is displayed in the area generated based on the third point and the fourth point.

As described above, when multiple objects included in the first selection area are selected, one or more objects included in the displayed second selection area are deselected. Specifically, depending on the location and size of the second selection area, all or some of the multi-selected objects may be deselected.

In this regard, referring to FIG. 3, as shown in Step 1, a third input corresponding to a third point for deselection in a state in which an object is multi-selected, for example, a specific key combination (eg, Ctrl key + Left one click) or another key combination (eg, Ctrl key + Left double click) may detect a third input corresponding to the third point.

This may be recognized as a starting point for generating a virtual second selection area for deselection. In this case, a preset display (eg, a red star) may be output at a position corresponding to a starting point for generating the second selection area.

Next, referring to step 2, in a state in which a preset display is output at a position corresponding to the start point for generating the second selection area, a specific key (eg, Left one click) corresponds to the fourth point. The fourth input is detected. This may be recognized as an end point for generating a virtual second selection area for deselection. In this case, a preset display (eg, a black star) may also be output at a location corresponding to the end point.

In this case, an image representing the second selection area (eg, a square image) may be displayed for a predetermined time.

Next, as shown in step 3, the selection mark displayed on each of the objects included in the second selection area is removed. Accordingly, only some of the selected multiple objects are marked for selection.

In this way, it is possible to deselect all/part of the multiple objects simply by selecting the start point and the end point through different predefined inputs while the multiple objects are selected, so the usability of the trackball for manipulating the tactical screen and Convenience is improved.

Hereinafter, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a method for multiple selection and deselection of objects according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the apparatus of the naval battle system according to the present invention performs a step of recognizing different inputs for the first point and the second point on the tactical screen of the naval battle system (S10).

Here, the first point is a starting point of a range of multiple objects to be selected in the tactic screen, and the second point is an end point of a range of multiple objects to be selected. Further, the object may include one or more targets.

In addition, here, the different inputs may mean that the number of inputs using a trackball, a pressure level corresponding to the input, and an input interval are different from each other.

As described above, when different inputs for the first point and the second point are recognized, a step of selecting multiple objects existing in the area created based on the first point and the second point is performed (S20).

Here, a virtual first selection area may be displayed in an area generated based on the first point and the second point.

Further, the virtual first selection area may be, for example, a virtual figure area (eg, a rectangle) created by using the first point and the second point as diagonal vertices. In addition, an image visually indicating that it is an area for selecting multiple objects, for example, different colors and different transparency values may be applied to the virtual figure area.

In this way, multiple objects included in the first selection area are selected, and objects existing outside the first selection area are excluded from selection.

Next, a step of classifying the selected multiple objects into subgroups according to predefined attributes by the apparatus of the naval battle system is performed, and determining a selection order of the classified subgroups (S50).

In addition, by the apparatus of the naval combat system, in response to receiving a preset input, a step of selecting a subgroup within the selected multiple objects according to the determined selection order may be performed (S60).

Here, the predefined attribute may include one or more of creation subject information, identification information, environment information, and exhibition information. In addition, each example of the creation subject information, identification information, environmental information, and exhibition information may be as follows.

In addition, in an embodiment, the selecting of the subgroup may be a step of selecting the classified subgroup according to the determined selection order whenever a key value corresponding to the preset input is received.

For example, when the first subgroup according to the creation subject information is selected as the initial key value is received, when the next key value is additionally received, the second subgroup or identification information (or other attribute information) according to the generation subject information Information) can be moved to the first subgroup.

For example, the first attribute, the second attribute, and the third attribute may be subgroups classified according to identification information such as friendly, neutral, and enemy.

In addition, in an embodiment, a selection order for the classified subgroups performed based on the key value is performed by rotation. For example, when a predefined first key value is received, rotation may be performed in a first direction, and when a predefined second key value is received, rotation may be performed in a second direction.

In this regard, referring to FIG. 5, the determined selection order is the entire selected multi-object-an object having a first attribute (square)-an object having a second attribute (triangle)-an object having a third attribute (circular) Can be defined as

In addition, the selection of the subgroup may be matched with a specific key value, or a rotation direction may be determined differently by using a specific key value. For example, the'Home' key matches all of the selected multiple objects (All), and the'PgDn' key matches all of the selected multiple objects-an object with a first attribute (rectangle)-an object with a second attribute (triangle) ) -Object with the third attribute (circular), that is, can be matched to rotate in the forward direction. In addition, the'PgUp' key is matched so that all of the selected multiple objects-an object with a third attribute (circular)-an object with a second attribute (triangle)-an object with the first attribute (rectangle), that is, rotated in the reverse direction. I can.

On the other hand, an embodiment in which the first embodiment and the second embodiment according to the present invention described above are combined is also possible. For example, according to the first and second embodiments, it is possible to deselect the selected subgroup after selecting the subgroup. In addition, it is possible to select a subgroup with only the remaining objects in a state in which some are deselected after multiple selection.

As described above, according to the method of multiple selection and deselection of objects according to the present invention, multiple selection and multiplexing of a plurality of objects displayed on the tactical screen of the naval battle system using an existing trackball without an additional device Operability improves as selection deselection becomes easier. In addition, by implementing so that the selected multiple objects can be selected by reclassifying them into subgroups according to a predefined criterion, usability and convenience are improved.

In addition, although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been exemplarily described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, so the present invention is within the scope of the spirit and claims of the present invention. It can be modified, changed, or improved in various forms. Further, the method according to the present invention described herein may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination thereof.
