Anyone familiar with the relevant art can easily understand the purpose and advantages of this creation. The following examples are intended to further illustrate the scope of this creation, but do not limit the scope of the creation in any way.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram showing a system for enlarging a target block of a display screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system for enlarging the target block of the display screen includes an input device 10, a controller 30, a graphics processor 50, and a display device 70. As shown in FIG. 1, the controller 30 is electrically connected to the input device 10. The graphics processor 50 is electrically coupled to the controller 30. The display device 70 is electrically connected to the graphics processor 50.

Please refer to Figure 1. The input device 10 has an enlarged operation mode and a general operation mode. The focus of this creation is that in the zoom-in mode, the user can zoom in on the target block in the picture by operating the input device 10. In practice, the input device 10 is, for example, a touch pad or a touch screen. Taking the touch panel as an example, in the zoom operation mode, the input device 10 generates an operation signal according to at least two touch operations, wherein the at least two touch operations correspond to at least two positions on the touch panel, and the at least two touches The control operation lasts for one unit of time, and within this unit time, the distance between one of the at least two positions continues to become larger or continuously smaller. The manner in which the operation signal is generated corresponds to the actual application scenario. The user touches the touchpad with two fingers and expands outward or inward. This mode of operation can magnify the display content in the target block in the display screen, as will be described in detail later.

In the zoom mode, another way to generate another operation signal is as follows: The touch panel generates another operation signal according to at least two touch operations. The at least two touch operations correspond to at least two positions on the touch panel, and the at least two touch operations last for one unit time. In this unit time, the distance between the at least two positions is less than one pre-change. A distance is set, and a midpoint of one of the at least two positions moves in one direction. The manner in which the other operation signal is generated corresponds to the actual application scenario. The user touches the touchpad with two fingers and simultaneously moves the two fingers in one direction. This mode of operation can move the target block in the display, as will be detailed later.

Please refer to Figure 1. The controller 30 is configured to acquire the switching signal, receive the operation signal generated by the input device 10, and convert the operation signal into a magnification or a mobile signal. In another embodiment of the present invention, the system for amplifying the target block of the display screen further includes a communication device electrically connected to the controller 30 for obtaining a switching signal from a server and transmitting the signal to the controller 30.

Please refer to Figure 1. The graphics processor 50 is configured to generate a first image signal and a second image signal. The graphics processor 50 updates the second video signal after receiving the magnification generated by the controller 30, thereby amplifying the target block.

Please refer to Figure 1. The display device 70 is configured to present a first picture according to the first image signal and a second picture according to the second image signal. In detail, before the controller 30 obtains the switching signal, the graphics processor 50 generates the first image, so the display device 70 presents the first screen, at which time the input device 10 is in the normal mode of operation. After the controller 30 obtains the switching signal, the graphics processor 50 generates a second image, so the display device 70 presents the second screen, at which time the input device 10 is in the zoom-in mode of operation. In other words, the input device 10 enters the zoom-in mode when the display device 70 assumes the first screen and the controller 30 acquires the signal.

Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B together. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for enlarging a target block of a display image according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram showing an example of a first screen. 3B shows an example schematic diagram of the second screen.

First, please refer to step S1 of FIG. 2: the display device 70 presents the first picture according to the first image signal generated by the graphic processor 50. In detail, the first screen is, for example, presented in a shooting game where the player does not raise the firearm, and the second screen presents the scene in which the player lifts the firearm. As shown in FIG. 3A, the first picture includes the target object TO that the player can shoot and the emission item EO that the player uses to shoot. The launching direction of the launching object EO is parallel to the first direction D1, which represents a state in which the player does not aim at the gun. At this time, the input device 10 is in the normal operation mode, and the present creation does not limit the game command corresponding to the operation of the input device 10 at this time.

Please refer to step S2 of FIG. 2: determine whether the controller 30 acquires the switching signal. If yes, go to step S3, otherwise go back to step S1. This step is used to detect whether the player is holding a gun. If the gun is fired, the process after step S3 is continued. It should be noted that, in practice, whether to enlarge the operation mode of the input device 10 after receiving the switching signal may be determined according to the level of the player in the game or whether the player has reached certain conditions in the game.

For the way to switch signals, for example, in a networked multiplayer shooting game, when a player encounters an enemy or a player enters a specific area of the game map, he or she needs to raise a weapon (such as a rifle, a submachine gun, or a sniper rifle). Therefore, when the game server detects that the player meets at least one of the above conditions, it sends a switching signal to the player computer, and the player computer receives the switching signal through the communication device and transmits the switching signal to the controller 30. After receiving the switching signal, the controller 30 controls the input device 10 to enter the zooming operation mode to detect the subsequent operation of the player lifting the gun. The subsequent operations, for example, adjust the magnification or adjust the aiming portion to be enlarged. However, in addition to being automatically generated by the game server in the manner described above, the switching signal can also be generated by the player manually triggering through the input device 10 or other type of input device. That is to say, the player can choose to automatically raise the gun when the system is in a special situation, or to raise the gun at any time. This creation does not limit the way the switching signal is acquired or generated.

Please refer to step S3 of FIG. 2: when the display device 70 presents the first screen and the controller 30 obtains the switching signal, the input device 10 enters the zoom-in operation mode, and the display device 70 presents according to the second image signal generated by the graphics processor 50. The second picture.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the second picture includes the target object TO, the emission object EO, and the target block TB. The emission direction of the emission object EO is toward the target block TB and parallel to the second direction D2, and the second direction D2 is different. In the first direction D1. In the shooting game, when the system of the target block TB of the enlarged display screen disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention detects that the player is lifting the gun, the second screen presented by the display device 70 is updated before the lifting of the gun. Increase the target block TB. The target block TB is a designated area in the display screen, and the preset position may be different according to the type of the target object TO. In addition, the second direction D2 represents the direction in which the muzzle is aimed after the player lifts the gun, so as shown in FIG. 2B, the second direction D2 is directed toward the target block TB.

Please refer to step S4 of FIG. 2: the controller 30 determines whether the operation signal generated by the input device 10 is obtained. In detail, after the input device 10 enters the zoom-in operation mode, the player can move the position of the target block TB in the second screen or adjust the magnification of the target block TB through the touch operation of the input device 10. Each of the above operations corresponds to an operation signal.

Please refer to step S5 of FIG. 2: the controller 30 receives the operation signal and converts it to a magnification, or converts another operation signal into a mobile signal. In other words, the player can manually adjust the magnification of the display content in the target block TB or the position of the moving target block TB in the second screen through the input device after the input device 10 enters the zoom operation mode.

Please refer to step S6 of FIG. 2: the graphics processor 50 receives the magnification and accordingly enlarges the display content in the target block TB in the second screen. Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram showing the enlarged display content of the target block TB. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the target block TB magnifies a part of the target object TO and its surrounding scenery.

In practice, the display content in the target block TB is larger than the display content of the corresponding position in the first screen, and the magnification is determined by the input device 10 that enters the zoom-in operation mode. For example, when the player raises the rifle, the target magnification of the target block TB is 2 times, and when the player raises the sniper rifle, the preset magnification of the target block TB is 5 times. The player can fine-tune the magnification through the input device 10 according to the actual needs of the game, or move the target block TB to more clearly view the designated portion of the target object TO. In addition, the magnification boundary value can also be determined according to the type of the launching object EO used by the player. In practice, the preset position of the target block TB in the second screen may be determined according to the type of the target object TO (for example, the enemy itself or the enemy's military equipment).

Please refer to step S4, step S7 and step S8. If the system has not detected the operation signal after the player enters the gun state, it is determined in step S7 whether a predetermined time has elapsed. If not, return to step S3 to continue to present the second screen and wait for the player's operation. Please refer to step S8: if the system determines that the operation signal from the input device 10 has not been received after a predetermined time, the controller 30 may generate a preset magnification according to a preset value, where the preset value is associated with the emission object EO. One type. Then, step S6 is continued, and the target block TB in the second picture is updated by the graphics processor 50.

With the above structure, the system and method for amplifying the target block of the screen disclosed in the present invention allow the player to enter the zoom operation mode in a simple manner, thereby reducing the inconvenience of the user pressing multiple buttons at the same time and reducing The number of buttons the user has to remember. In addition, the system automatically detects and enters the zoom mode, thus maintaining the smoothness of the game. In this mode, the user can control the target block on the screen to align to the target object and dynamically change the zoom through the touchpad. Magnification, in order to achieve a more accurate aiming effect in the shooting game, to ensure that the player can easily shoot the target part of the desired shot. At the same time, the realism of the shooting game itself is improved, and the user's willingness to shoot the game based on the system is enhanced.
