And multiple refers to two or more, for example, multiple users may be two users, three users, or any integer greater than or equal to two.

Among them, the game scene is the game scene displayed (or provided) when the application is running on the terminal. The game scene can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The game scene can be any one of a two-dimensional game scene, a 2.5-dimensional game scene, or a three-dimensional game scene. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the dimension of the game scene. For example, the game scene may include the sky, land, ocean, etc., and the land may include environmental elements such as deserts and cities, and users can control virtual objects to move in the game scene.

Virtual object: refers to an object used to simulate a person or animal in a game scene. The virtual object can be a virtual person, a virtual animal, an anime character, etc. For example, a person or an animal displayed in a game scene. The virtual object can be a virtual image in the game scene that represents the user. The game scene can include multiple virtual objects, each of which has its own shape and volume in the game scene and occupies a part of the space in the game scene. The activities of the virtual object can include: adjusting body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, flying, jumping, aiming with a virtual sight, shooting, driving, picking up, attacking, throwing, and releasing skills, etc.

In some embodiments, the content displayed in the graphical user interface at least partially includes a game scene, wherein the game scene includes at least one virtual object.

In some embodiments, the virtual objects in the game scene include a game character controlled by a user (Player Character) and a game character controlled by a system preset and not controlled by a user (Non-Player Character, NPC).

Virtual vehicle: a means of transportation for transporting virtual operation objects in the game scene. The specific form of the virtual vehicle in the game scene may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: cars, bicycles, motorcycles, ships, airplanes, trains, animals, skateboards, etc.

Game interface: refers to the interface corresponding to the application provided or displayed through the graphical user interface, which includes the graphical user interface for users to interact with and the game screen, which is the screen of the game scene.

In some embodiments, the game interface may include game controls (such as skill controls, moving joysticks, character control controls, backpack controls, chat controls, system setting controls and other functional controls, etc.), indicators (such as direction indicators, character indicators, etc.), and information display areas (such as number of kills, game time, etc.).

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium for controlling movement of a virtual object.

In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the running body of the game program and the game screen presentation body are separated. The storage and operation of the mobile control method of the virtual object are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with a data transmission function close to the user side, such as a terminal, a TV, a computer, a PDA, etc.; but the terminal device for character control is a cloud game server in the cloud. When playing the game, the user operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud game server, such as touch operation instructions. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it through the network. Return to the client device, and finally, decode and output the game screen through the client device.

In some embodiments, the server may also be implemented in the form of a terminal.

In an optional 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 to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the user through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is conventionally downloaded and installed through an electronic device and run. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the user in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the user through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen. The user can operate on the interface through input devices such as a touch screen, a mouse, a keyboard, or a handle.

In some embodiments, the server may also be implemented in the form of a terminal.

For example, referring to FIG. 1a, a scene schematic diagram of a virtual object movement control system is provided, and the system can implement a virtual object movement control method. In this scene, a terminal and a game server can be included. A graphical user interface is provided by the terminal, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface at least partially includes a game scene and a controlled virtual object located in the game scene.

Among them, the terminal can be used to obtain the current position of the controlled virtual object; when the current position is located in a non-driving area in a game scene, in response to a touch operation applied to a mobile control area, the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in the game scene, and a first function control is displayed, and the first function control is configured to respond to a trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to a first movement state corresponding to the first function control; when the current position is located in a driving area in the game scene, in response to a touch operation applied to the mobile control area, the first function control and at least one second function control are controlled to be displayed, the movement state corresponding to the second function control is different from the movement state corresponding to the first function control, and the second function control is configured to respond to a trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to a second movement state corresponding to the second function control, wherein the second movement state corresponds to the driving area.

The game server can be used to obtain data about the game played by the user on the terminal.

The following are detailed descriptions. It should be noted that the order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. It is understandable that in the specific implementation of the present disclosure, when the above embodiments of the present disclosure are applied to specific products or technologies, the data related to the user, such as touch operation, trigger operation, sliding operation, adjustment operation, virtual vehicle, virtual backpack, movement parameters, etc., need to be obtained. The user's permission or consent must be obtained, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

In this embodiment, a method for controlling movement of a virtual object is provided. A graphical user interface is provided by a terminal. The content displayed by the graphical user interface at least partially includes a game scene and a controlled virtual object located in the game scene. As shown in FIG. 1b , the specific process of the method for controlling movement of a virtual object may be as follows:

110. Get the current position of the controlled virtual object.

Among them, the controlled virtual object refers to a virtual object controlled by an operation on a terminal, such as a user character such as a game character controlled by a user through a terminal. In some embodiments, the virtual object may be a virtual character competing in a game scene. In some embodiments, the number of virtual objects participating in the interaction in the game scene may be pre-set or dynamically determined according to the number of terminals participating in the interaction.

The current position refers to the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene at the current moment.

For example, when the user controls the corresponding controlled virtual object to move in the game scene, the game server can monitor the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene in real time and determine whether the position is in the driving area or non-driving area in the game scene.

120. When the current position is located in a non-driving area in the game scene, in response to a touch operation acting on the movement control area, the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in the game scene, and a first function control is displayed.

The first functional control is configured to respond to a trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to a first movement state corresponding to the first functional control.

Among them, the driving area refers to an area preset in the game scene that can be used to drive a virtual vehicle. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific form of the driving area. For example, the driving area can be a regular shape such as a circle or a rectangle, or an irregular shape, or an area preset in the game scene such as a town or a wasteland. The non-driving area refers to an area preset in the game scene that cannot be used to drive a virtual vehicle. For example, in a game scene, one or more open areas can be preset as the driving area according to the game settings, that is, the driving area is a fixed area preset on the game map; the driving area can also be an area set according to the current position or activity range of the controlled virtual object in the game (that is, a non-fixed area), such as the driving area can be a specified shape area determined in the game scene with the real-time position of the controlled virtual object as the center at a specified time before the start of the game, such as 10 minutes before the start. In any driving area, The user can control the controlled virtual object to move in the second moving state; in the game scene, the area other than the driving area is the non-driving area.

The mobile control area refers to an area on the graphical user interface used to trigger the display of the first function control and/or the second function control.

In some embodiments, the mobile control area may include a response area (hereinafter referred to as the call-out area) for triggering the display of the first function control and/or the second function control. For example, when the mobile joystick is dragged, the controlled virtual object can be controlled to move in a manner such as walking, running, crawling, etc., and when the mobile joystick is dragged to the call-out area, the first function control and/or the second function control is called out.

In some implementations, when the distance the joystick is dragged in a specified direction is greater than a preset threshold distance, the first function control and/or the second function control is called out.

In some embodiments, the mobile control area may also include a control area for controlling the controlled virtual object to move in a normal state (hereinafter referred to as the initial control area), such as the control area corresponding to the joystick. It should be noted that, through the initial touch operation on the initial control area, the controlled virtual object can be controlled to move in the game scene in a normal state other than the first movement state and the second movement state. For example, the normal state can be to control the controlled virtual object to move in a walking, running, crawling, etc. manner. Optionally, the initial touch operation may be a sliding operation. For example, the user can control the controlled virtual object to move in the game scene in the form of walking, running, etc., through the initial sliding operation in the initial control area, until the controlled virtual object moves into the driving area. The initial sliding operation may be a sliding operation in any direction or a specified direction.

In some implementations, the initial control area and the mobile control area may be two independent areas.

The first functional control refers to a functional control for controlling the controlled virtual object to move in a first moving state. The first moving state may be a moving state preset according to an application scenario or actual needs. For example, the first moving state may be controlling the controlled virtual object to move in a running, sprinting, or the like manner.

For example, when the game server monitors that the controlled virtual object is located in the non-driving area of the game scene (i.e., the current position of the controlled virtual object is located in the non-driving area of the game scene), as shown in the interface diagram of the controlled virtual object being located in the non-driving area in FIG1c (1), the user can touch the mobile control area, and in response to the touch operation, the first function control is displayed to control the controlled virtual object to move in the first moving state by triggering the first function control. In this way, by touching the mobile control area to trigger the display of the first function control, on the one hand, a function of controlling the virtual object to move in the first moving state can be added on the basis of the original function of the mobile control area, and on the other hand, the user can independently control whether to display the first function control. The first function control is displayed, and accidental touches caused by too many controls on the interface can be avoided.

In some implementations, the first functional control is a sprint control, and the first movement state is a sprint state.

The sprint control may refer to a control for controlling the virtual object to sprint, for example, it may be displayed as a mark in the form of text, graphics, etc., and the graphics may include stars, dots, triangles, icons, etc.

In some embodiments, the touch operation for displaying the first function control may be the first touch operation, and the initial touch operation and the first touch operation have different operation modes. For example, the initial touch operation may be a sliding operation in any direction in the initial control area, and the first touch operation may be a sliding operation in a specified direction in the mobile control area.

In some implementations, the first functional control corresponds to a first functional response area.

Among them, the function response area refers to an area used to respond to the triggering operation of the function control. For example, as shown in the schematic diagram of the function control and the function response area in FIG1d, the first function response area corresponding to the first function control can be an area located above the mobile joystick, and the first function control is displayed in the first function response area, that is, when the user drags the joystick upward to the first function response area, the first function control will be triggered, and if the user drags the mobile joystick in other directions or the user does not drag it to the first function response area, the first function control will not be triggered.

130. When the current position is located in the driving area in the game scene, in response to a touch operation acting on the mobile control area, control the display of a first function control and at least one second function control.

The movement state corresponding to the second function control is different from the movement state corresponding to the first function control, and the second function control is configured to respond to the trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to the second movement state corresponding to the second function control, wherein the second movement state corresponds to the driving area.

The second functional control refers to a functional control for controlling the controlled virtual object to move in a second movement state. The second movement state refers to a movement state corresponding to the driving area, for example, the second movement state may be a driving state.

Among them, the trigger operation may include but is not limited to touching, dragging, swiping, long pressing, short pressing, double-clicking, clicking, ending dragging, sliding and other operations. Users can trigger operations through input devices such as touch screen, mouse, keyboard or handle. The specific operation method depends on the game operation method or specific game settings.

For example, when the user controls the controlled virtual object to enter the driving area in the game scene (i.e., the current position of the controlled virtual object is located in the driving area in the game scene), as shown in FIG1c (2), the interface diagram of the controlled virtual object being located in the driving area, when the moving joystick is dragged, the first function control and the second function control can be displayed above the moving joystick. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used without increasing the number of operators. On the premise of using the touch control of the original mobile control area of the graphical user interface, new function controls are called out to realize new functions, so as to simplify the interactive interface and avoid accidental touches caused by too many controls on the interface. In addition, when the controlled virtual object is located in different areas such as the non-driving area and the driving area, different function controls can be called out by touching the mobile control area so that the user can control the controlled virtual object to perform different movement states. When the controlled virtual object is located in the driving area, the first function control and the second function control corresponding to the driving area can be called out, so as to trigger the second function control and enter the second movement state in a natural way that is easy for players to understand, thereby improving the interaction efficiency.

Optionally, after displaying the second function control, if the controlled virtual object does not leave the driving area or the controlled virtual object moves according to the second movement state corresponding to the second function control, the second function control remains displayed until the controlled virtual object leaves the driving area or the second function control is triggered, so as to avoid repeated operation of displaying the second function control in the driving area and simplify the interaction process. Specifically, the movement control method of the virtual object may further include: if the controlled virtual object leaves the driving area or the controlled virtual object moves according to the second movement state corresponding to the second function control, hiding the driving control.

In some embodiments, the graphical user interface also includes a moving joystick, the moving control area is a contact area of the moving joystick, the triggering operation of the target function control is a release operation, and the target function control includes at least one of a first function control and a second function control.

Among them, the mobile joystick refers to a control for controlling the movement of a virtual object, and the contact area of the mobile joystick refers to an area for responding to the touch operation of the mobile joystick. For example, the contact area of the mobile joystick may include but is not limited to the chassis and the wheel-type control of the joystick. By dragging the joystick in the mobile joystick control, or by dragging the mobile joystick displayed in the graphical user interface, the virtual object can be controlled to move in different directions in the game scene by walking, running, crawling, etc. The function response area of the target function control can be located in the associated area of the mobile joystick, such as the first function response area and/or the second function response area is located near the mobile joystick, such as above the chassis of the mobile joystick and the wheel-type control of the joystick.

The release operation refers to the operation of ending the touch control of the function control. For example, the user can touch the first function control displayed on the touch screen with a finger, and the touch control of the first function control ends when the finger leaves the touch screen, and the operation of leaving the touch screen is the release operation.

For example, after the triggering operation of the first function control or the second function control is completed, the controlled virtual object can be controlled to move in the first moving state or the second moving state, so that the user can perform other operations in the first moving state or the second moving state after the touch control is completed, such as driving the virtual vehicle, so as to improve the user experience.

In some embodiments, the first function control and/or the second function control may be displayed in an associated area of the mobile joystick. The associated area of the mobile joystick may refer to an area corresponding to the mobile joystick set in the graphical user interface according to actual needs, for example, it may be an area near the mobile joystick in the graphical user interface, such as the associated area may be an area above the mobile joystick, and the associated area may also be an area within the mobile control area.

In some embodiments, when the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, relevant prompt information can be displayed on the game interface to prompt the user to perform relevant operations in the driving area. Specifically, the method also includes:

When it is detected that the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, driving prompt information is displayed on the graphical user interface.

The driving prompt information may refer to information used to prompt that the controlled virtual object has entered the driving area, and the driving prompt information may be displayed in at least one form of text, graphics, images, etc. For example, when it is detected that the controlled virtual object has entered the driving area, as shown in the interface schematic diagram of the controlled virtual object being located in the driving area in (2) of FIG1c , a pop-up window prompt “Drivable vehicles in the current area” may be displayed in the center of the game interface (graphical user interface), and the prompt may be displayed repeatedly at least three times.

Optionally, the display of the driving prompt information and the second function control can also be limited according to the game settings. For example, it can be set to display the driving prompt information and the second function control only 10 minutes before the game starts, so as to increase the diversity of the game and improve the user experience.

Optionally, the driving prompt information may include at least one of a pop-up prompt and a control prompt, and the control prompt may be a prompt located near the mobile control area and used for triggering the second function control. For example, as shown in the interface schematic diagrams of FIG. 1e and FIG. 1f, the control prompt may be an upward arrow on the mobile joystick, the arrow pointing to the second response area or the second function response area of the second function control, and the first function control and the second function control may be triggered along the direction of the arrow.

In some embodiments, the touch operation for displaying the first functional control and at least one second functional control may be a second touch operation, and the operation modes of the first touch operation and the second touch operation may be the same or different. Thus, when the mobile control area includes the initial control area, the mobile control area may implement different control functions in response to the initial touch operation, the first touch operation, and the second touch operation. Thus, the disclosed embodiment enables the mobile control area to have a variety of different functions, simplifies the game interface, avoids too many controls on the interface, and easily causes accidental touches, thereby improving the user experience, increasing the user retention rate, and reducing server idleness.

Optionally, the first touch operation may be a first sliding operation, and the second touch operation may be a second sliding operation. The sliding operation may include operations such as touch, drag, and end touch. For example, the sliding operation of the mobile joystick may include touching the mobile joystick displayed on the touch screen with a finger, dragging the finger to any position while keeping the touch, stopping the drag, and leaving the touch screen to end the touch.

Optionally, the initial sliding operation and the first sliding operation may be continuous operations or intermittent operations. The initial sliding operation and the second sliding operation may be continuous operations or intermittent operations.

Optionally, in order to avoid false triggering of displaying the first function control and/or the second function control, the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation may be a sliding operation in a specified direction. The specified directions corresponding to the first sliding operation and the second sliding operation may be the same or different.

For example, when the current position of the controlled virtual object is in a non-driving area in the game scene, if a sliding operation from the mobile control area to the specified direction is detected, the first function control is displayed; if the current position is in a non-driving area in the game scene, if a sliding operation from the mobile control area to the specified direction is performed, the first function control and at least one second function control are displayed. The sliding operation can be detected by detecting that the moving joystick is dragged upward or detecting that the distance of the upward drag joystick meets a preset distance.

Optionally, the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation may be an operation in which the sliding distance of the sliding operation in the specified direction is greater than a preset threshold distance. For example, the first function control and/or the second function control will be triggered to be displayed only when the sliding upward exceeds a certain threshold distance.

Optionally, the first sliding operation and the second sliding operation may be sliding operations in a first designated direction, that is, the first sliding operation and the second sliding operation correspond to the same designated direction. For example, the first designated direction may be set according to the game operation method or specific game settings, such as the first designated direction may be upward, that is, when the user slides upward in the mobile control area, if the controlled virtual object is located in the non-driving area, the first function control is displayed, if the controlled virtual object is located in the driving area, the first function control and the second function control are displayed, and if the user slides in other directions, the first function control and/or the second function control will not be displayed.

Optionally, the operation mode of the initial sliding operation may be the same as or different from the operation mode of the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation.

For example, the initial sliding operation can be operated in the same manner as the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation, such as sliding operations from the mobile control area (mobile joystick) to any direction. That is, when the user touches the mobile joystick and drags it in any direction (i.e., performs a sliding operation in any direction), in response to the sliding operation (initial sliding operation), the controlled virtual object is controlled to move. If the controlled virtual object If the virtual object is located in the driving area, in response to the sliding operation (second sliding operation), the first function control and the second function control are displayed.

For another example, the operation mode of the initial sliding operation may be different from that of the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation. The mobile joystick may include a roulette response area (i.e., the roulette area of the mobile joystick), the initial sliding operation may be a sliding operation of touching the mobile joystick and dragging it to the roulette response area, and the first sliding operation and/or the second sliding operation may be a sliding operation of touching the mobile joystick and dragging it to the outgoing area. If the user first touches the roulette response area while dragging the mobile joystick, it can be considered that the initial sliding operation is performed, and the sliding operation controls the movement of the controlled virtual object. If the user continues to drag the joystick from the roulette response area to the outgoing area, it can be considered that the first sliding operation or the second sliding operation is performed, that is, the first function control and the second function control are displayed. During the first sliding operation or the second sliding operation, the movement of the controlled virtual object can also be continued until the touch is released.

Optionally, in order to avoid false triggering of displaying the first function control and/or the second function control, the call-out area may include the first call-out area and/or the second call-out area, the first sliding operation may be a sliding operation to the first call-out area, the second sliding operation may be a sliding operation to the second call-out area, and the first call-out area and the second call-out area may be the same area or different areas. For example, when it is detected that the user drags the mobile joystick to outside the boundary of the mobile joystick (i.e., the first call-out area), the first function control is displayed.

Optionally, the first sliding operation may be a sliding operation in a specified direction to the first call-out area. The second sliding operation may be a sliding operation in a specified direction to the second call-out area. For example, the first call-out area and the second call-out area may be set according to the game operation method or the specific setting of the game, as shown in the schematic diagram of the touch display function control in Figure 1g, the second call-out area may be the area located above the moving joystick, that is, when the user drags the joystick upward to the second call-out area, the first function control and the second function control will be displayed. If the user drags the joystick in other directions or the user does not drag it to the second call-out area, the first function control and the second function control will not be displayed.

Optionally, the first function control may be displayed when the first sliding operation is dragged in a specified direction and/or reaches the first outgoing area, or the first function control may be displayed when the first sliding operation ends, that is, when the touch is released.

Optionally, the first function control and the second function control can be displayed when the second sliding operation is dragged along the specified direction and/or reaches the second call-out area, or the first function control and the second function control can be displayed when the second sliding operation ends, that is, when the touch is released.

In some embodiments, the second functional control includes a vehicle summoning control, which is configured to respond to a trigger operation, display a virtual vehicle in the game scene, and control the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle to move.

Among them, the vehicle summoning control refers to a control used to summon and display a virtual vehicle. For example, it can be displayed as an icon in the form of text, graphics, etc. The graphics may include asterisks, dots, triangles, icons, etc.

For example, when the user controls the controlled virtual object to enter the driving area in the game scene, the virtual vehicle is not displayed in the driving area. After the user triggers the vehicle summoning control through touch operation, the virtual vehicle is displayed in the driving area. In this way, a new mechanism for triggering the display of driving controls can be provided to the user, thereby enhancing the diversity of experience. As shown in the interface diagram of Figure 1f, when the user touches the vehicle summoning control, the virtual vehicle can be displayed in the driving area and near the controlled virtual object.

It should be noted that virtual vehicles may include vehicles in various forms such as cars, bicycles, motorcycles, ships, airplanes, trains, animals, surfboards, skateboards, etc. Controlling the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle to move may refer to controlling the virtual vehicle to carry the controlled virtual object to move using the control method corresponding to the virtual vehicle, and different types of virtual vehicles have different corresponding control methods. For example, the control method for virtual vehicles such as cars, bicycles, motorcycles, ships, airplanes, trains, etc. may be driving, the corresponding control method for virtual vehicles such as animals, etc. may be riding, and the corresponding control method for virtual vehicles such as surfboards, skateboards, etc. may be gliding.

It is understandable that the virtual vehicle in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not a virtual vehicle already existing in the driving area in the game scene, but a virtual vehicle summoned by triggering the vehicle summoning control. In actual applications, the game can automatically assign and display virtual vehicles to controlled virtual objects according to the application scenario or game settings, or summon and display the corresponding virtual vehicles from the virtual vehicles obtained by the vehicle summoning control. This method of summoning and displaying virtual vehicles by triggering the driving control can summon and display virtual vehicles that do not exist in the game scene near the controlled virtual object, without the user having to perform a series of operations such as searching and going to the virtual vehicle in the game scene, which can improve and simplify the interactive process of the controlled virtual object using the virtual vehicle, improve efficiency, and reduce the energy consumption of the game device.

In some embodiments, after the vehicle summoning control is triggered, the virtual vehicle in the virtual backpack configured by the controlled virtual object can be obtained and displayed, so that the displayed virtual vehicle has a certain association relationship with the controlled virtual object, so that the user can drive the virtual vehicle more skillfully. Specifically, the virtual vehicle is obtained and displayed from the virtual backpack corresponding to the controlled virtual object.

For example, the virtual backpack of the controlled virtual object stores medicines, virtual Virtual weapons and virtual vehicles, etc. When the user touches the vehicle summoning control, the virtual vehicle in the virtual prop backpack can be displayed near the controlled virtual object.

Optionally, if there are multiple virtual vehicles in the virtual backpack of the controlled virtual object, the virtual vehicle with the highest priority can be obtained and displayed according to the priority of the virtual vehicles. The priority may include but is not limited to the storage order of the virtual vehicles in the virtual backpack, the speed parameters of the virtual vehicles, the degree of damage of the virtual vehicles, etc.

In some embodiments, when the controlled virtual object is located in a non-driving area, a first functional control may be displayed by a touch operation on the movement control area to control the controlled virtual object to move in a first movement state, and when the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, a second functional control is displayed. The movement control method of the virtual object also includes:

When the current position is located in a non-driving area in the game scene, in response to a touch operation acting on the movement control area, the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in the game scene, and a first function control is displayed;

In response to a trigger operation on the first functional control, controlling the controlled virtual object to move according to a first movement state corresponding to the first functional control;

In response to detecting that the controlled virtual object enters the driving area from the non-driving area, controlling to display a second function control.

For example, as shown in FIG1c (1), the interface schematic diagram of a controlled virtual object located in a non-driving area, when the controlled virtual object controlled by the user is located in the non-driving area, the user can drag the mobile joystick to the mobile control area (i.e., the user performs a touch operation acting on the mobile control area), and in response to the operation, the first function control is displayed. After the user touches the first function control, the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in a first moving state, such as a sprinting state, in the game scene. As shown in FIG1c (2), the interface schematic diagram of a controlled virtual object located in a non-driving area, when it is detected that the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, the second function control is displayed, and the first function control and the second function control are displayed at the same time.

In some implementations, the first function control and the second function control may correspond to a first function response area and a second function response area, respectively.

The function response area refers to an area used to respond to the triggering operation of the function control. The size and shape of the function response area can be set according to actual needs or game settings, for example, it can be circular, fan-shaped, or ring-shaped.

Optionally, the first function response area and the second function response area are different areas, so as to distinguish the two function controls and avoid accidental touches. For example, as shown in FIG1d , the first function response area can be a semicircular area away from the mobile control area (mobile joystick). The second function response area can be a semi-circular area close to the mobile control area (mobile joystick).

Optionally, the triggering operation on the function response area may include but is not limited to triggering operations such as touching, dragging, swiping, long pressing, short pressing, double-clicking, clicking, ending dragging, and sliding on the function response area.

Optionally, the triggering operation on the first function response area and the triggering operation on the second function response area may be a continuous operation or an intermittent operation.

Optionally, the touch operation on the mobile control area and the trigger operation on the second function response area can be a continuous operation or an intermittent operation. For example, after the user performs the second sliding operation, the first function control and the second function control can be displayed. When the user releases the touch of the second sliding operation, the user can touch again and drag the mobile joystick to the function response area of the second function control. When it is detected that the user releases the touch, the virtual vehicle can be displayed in the driving area of the game scene.

Optionally, the touch operation on the mobile control area and the trigger operation on the second function response area can be continuous operations, so that the process of displaying the second function control and triggering the second function control can be completed through one sliding operation, thereby improving the interaction efficiency. For example, when the user touches and starts to drag the mobile joystick (i.e., starts to perform the second sliding operation), in response to the sliding operation, the first function control and the second function control are displayed above the mobile joystick. If the mobile joystick is continued to be dragged to the function response area of the first function control, the controlled virtual object can be controlled to sprint. If it is continued to be dragged to the function response area of the second function control, the virtual vehicle can be displayed in the driving area. For another example, after displaying the first function control and the second function control, it is also possible to bypass the function response area of the first function control and drag it to the function response area of the second function control to better control the controlled virtual object.

In some implementations, the corresponding functional controls may be triggered by triggering operations on different functional response areas. The method for controlling movement of a virtual object further includes:

In response to a trigger operation in the first function response area, a first function control corresponding to the first function response area is triggered, and the controlled virtual object is controlled to move according to a first movement state corresponding to the first function control;

In response to the trigger operation, the contact point moves from the first function response area to the second function response area and performs the trigger operation in the second function response area, triggering the second function control, and controlling the controlled virtual object to move according to the second movement state corresponding to the second function control.

For example, as shown in the interface diagram of FIG. 1e , you can click or drag the joystick to the first function. As shown in the interface diagram of FIG1f, when touching the first function response area, you can drag from the first function response area to the second function response area to trigger the second function control, or you can drag the moving joystick through the first function response area to the second function response area to trigger the second function control. In this way, the second function control can be triggered by continuous operation from the first function response area to the second function response area, avoiding accidental touching of the second function control and improving the triggering efficiency.

Optionally, when the contact point triggering the operation moves to the first function response area or the second function response area, the logo of the first function control or the second function control can be highlighted to give the user visual feedback that the function response area of the first function control or the second function control has been touched.

Optionally, if the end position (release position) of the contact point that triggers the operation is not located in any functional response area, and/or the end position is located between the first functional control and the second functional control, the functional control closest to the end position may be triggered. For example, if the second functional control is closer to the end position of the contact point than the first functional control, the first functional control is triggered.

In some implementations, the first function response area and the second function response area are located at the same position of the movement control area, and the first function response area is between the second function response area and the movement control area.

For example, as shown in the schematic diagram of function controls and function response areas in FIG1d , the first function response area is located above the moving joystick, and the second function response area is located above the first function response area, thereby optimizing the control layout on the interface and facilitating the continuous triggering of multiple function controls.

In some implementations, the shape, position, and layout of the function response area can be customized by adjusting the operation to provide a variety of triggering methods. The method for controlling the movement of a virtual object also includes:

In response to a first adjustment operation on a target function response area, adjusting a shape and/or a size of the target function response area, the target function response area including at least one of a first function response area and a second function response area;

In response to a second adjustment operation on the target function response area, the area layout of the first function response area and the second function response area is adjusted.

The regional layout includes at least one of an adjacent setting and an interval setting.

The first adjustment operation refers to an operation for adjusting the shape and/or size of the target function response area. The second adjustment operation refers to an operation for adjusting the regional layout of the second function response area. Operations may include but are not limited to touching, dragging, swiping, long pressing, short pressing, double-clicking, clicking, ending dragging, sliding, and the like. Users may adjust operations through input devices such as a touch screen, mouse, keyboard, or handle. The specific operation method depends on the game operation method or the specific game settings.

The adjacent setting means that the first function response area is adjacent to the second function response area, and the interval setting means that there is another area such as a mobile control area between the first function response area and the second function response area.

In some embodiments, the regional layout includes adjusting the positions of the functional areas.

Optionally, the second adjustment operation includes the first position adjustment operation to customize the response speed of different function controls. Specifically, in response to the second adjustment operation on the target function response area, the regional layout of the first function response area and the second function response area is adjusted, including:

In response to a first position adjustment operation on the first function response area and the second function response area, the first function response area is used as the function response area corresponding to the second function control, and the second function response area is used as the function response area corresponding to the first function control.

Optionally, when the function response area of the function control is adjusted by the second adjustment operation, the control mark displayed in the graphical user interface of the function response area also changes with the adjustment. Specifically, in response to the second adjustment operation on the first function response area and the second function response area, the positions of the first function control and the second function control are swapped.

For example, the user can enter the custom settings page of the game system settings, and by clicking the remote control control on the page, the first function control and the second function control may appear, as shown in the schematic diagram of adjusting the function controls in Figure 1h. The user can touch and drag the first function control upward to the position of the second function control to exchange the upper and lower positions of the control identifiers of the first function control and the second function control in the game interface. While exchanging the positions, the function response areas corresponding to the first function control and the second function control are also exchanged.

Optionally, the second adjustment operation includes a second position adjustment operation, and the distance between the sprint control and the driving control in the game interface can be customized through the second position adjustment operation to avoid accidental touch. Specifically, adjusting the regional layout of the first function response area and the second function response area includes:

In response to the second position adjustment operation on the target function control, the distance between the target control and the mobile control area in the specified direction is adjusted.

For example, you can touch and drag any one of the first function control and the second function control on the game custom setting page to make the first function control and/or the second function control appear in the game interface. The function response area is away from or close to other areas, so that the response positions of the first function control and the second function control can be customized to avoid accidental touches.

In some embodiments, the response speed corresponding to the first function response area is related to the first distance, and the response speed corresponding to the second function response area is related to the second distance, the first distance is the distance between the first function response area and the mobile control area, and the second distance is the distance between the second function response area and the mobile control area. For example, different response coefficients can be provided according to the distance between the function control and the mobile control area, and the response speed can be positively correlated with the distance and the corresponding coefficient. The larger the response coefficient, the faster the response speed.

In some embodiments, the position of the target function control can be adjusted by adjusting the vertical distance between the target function control and the mobile control area in the specified direction. Since the closer the vertical distance between the first function control and/or the second function control and the mobile control area (mobile joystick), the faster the trigger response, and the farther the vertical distance, the slower the trigger response, the response efficiency of the function control can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the target function control and the mobile joystick.

Optionally, when adjusting the distance between the target function control and the mobile control area in the specified direction, the function response area corresponding to the target function control is adjusted according to the adjusted distance. For example, the vertical distances between the first function control and the second function control initially displayed and the mobile joystick are 368PX and 560PX respectively. The first function control and/or the second function control can be dragged up or down on the custom setting page of the game to adjust the vertical distance between the control identifier of the first function control and/or the second function control and the control identifier of the mobile joystick, and the function response area of the first function control and/or the second function control is synchronously increased or decreased by the adjusted vertical distance. As shown in the schematic diagram of adjusting the function control in Figure 1i, touch and drag the first function control upward to adjust and increase the vertical distance between the first function control and the mobile joystick. As shown in the schematic diagram of adjusting the function control in Figure 1j, drag the vertical distance of the first function control upward to 622PX, and accordingly adjust the first function response area of the first function control from a semi-circular shape with an outer radius of 560PX to a semi-circular shape with an outer radius of 622PX.

In some embodiments, when the controlled virtual object is located in the driving area, the first function control and at least one second function control may be called out in stages to optimize the display effect of the function control. Specifically, when the current position is located in the driving area in the game scene, in response to a touch operation acting on the mobile control area, the first function control and at least one second function control are controlled to be displayed, including:

When the current position is located in the driving area in the game scene, in the mobile control area, a first function control and at least one second function control are called out in stages.

Among them, hierarchical call-out refers to hierarchical display of function controls.

For example, hierarchical calling out may refer to calling out the first function control and the second function control in sequence according to the displacement of the contact point of the touch operation acting on the mobile control area. In this way, the first function control and the second function control are not displayed at the same time during the touch operation, but are displayed hierarchically according to the position of the contact point of the touch operation. For example, when the contact point of the touch operation slides upward by a certain distance such as a preset distance A, the first function control may be called out first, and then when it slides upward to a certain distance such as a preset distance B, the second function control may be called out, wherein the preset distance B is greater than the preset distance A.

In some implementations, a preset number of first function controls and second function controls can be called out according to the priority of preset function controls, so as to give priority to calling out function controls with high priorities and optimize the display effects of function controls. The called out function controls can be displayed within the mobile control area or outside the mobile control area.

In some embodiments, the second movement state may be a state in which the controlled virtual object is controlled to drive a virtual vehicle to move. The movement control method of the virtual object further includes:

Control the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle.

For example, controlling the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle may be controlling the controlled virtual object to sit in the driving position of the virtual vehicle. In this way, the virtual vehicle is in a stationary state, and the user is required to trigger the second function control again, such as dragging the joystick upward to the second function response area of the second function control again, in order to control the virtual vehicle to move forward. This method will cause pauses and breakpoints in the experience.

In some implementations, controlling the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle may be controlling the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle to move with driving movement parameters, so as to improve the smoothness of game operation and enhance user experience.

In some embodiments, the driving movement parameters of the virtual vehicle can be set based on the object movement parameters of the controlled virtual object, thereby reducing the difficulty of the user driving the virtual vehicle and improving the user experience. The step of controlling the controlled virtual object to move according to the second movement state corresponding to the second functional control includes: controlling the controlled virtual object to move with the driving movement parameters, and the driving movement parameters are associated with the object movement parameters of the controlled virtual object.

Among them, the movement parameters may refer to parameters related to the movement of virtual objects in the game. The movement parameters may include at least one of the parameters such as speed and direction. The driving movement parameters may refer to at least one of the parameters such as the speed and direction of the virtual vehicle. The object movement parameters may include the speed, direction, etc. of the controlled virtual object. At least one of the parameters.

Since the movement speed of a virtual vehicle should usually be higher than the movement speed of a controlled virtual object, if the initial movement speed of the virtual vehicle (driving movement parameters) is set according to the corresponding speed of the virtual vehicle, the controlled virtual object will directly switch from a lower movement speed to a higher movement speed, increasing the difficulty for the user to drive the virtual vehicle. Therefore, based on the object movement parameters of the controlled virtual object, the initial movement parameters of the virtual vehicle are set, which increases the smoothness of the switching of the movement speed of the controlled virtual object, allowing the user to use the movement state of the virtual vehicle more quickly when starting to drive the virtual vehicle, thereby reducing the difficulty for the user to drive the virtual vehicle and improving the user experience.

Optionally, the movement parameters include parameters of speed and/or direction.

For example, when the second function control is triggered, the moving speed of the controlled virtual object is X, and the moving direction is A. The controlled virtual object can be controlled to automatically sit in the driving seat of the virtual vehicle, and the initial moving speed of the virtual vehicle can be controlled to be Y=X×120%, and the initial moving direction is A.

In some embodiments, the driving movement parameter includes a movement speed, and the step of controlling the controlled virtual object to move according to the second movement state corresponding to the second functional control further includes:

In response to a speed control operation acting on the speed control area, the moving speed is adjusted according to the speed control operation, and the controlled virtual object is controlled to move at the adjusted moving speed.

Among them, the speed control area refers to the response area used to control the movement speed. In addition, the response area used to control the movement direction is the direction control area. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement control area, the initial control area (the control area corresponding to the joystick, which is used to control the controlled virtual object to move in a normal state), the speed control area and the direction control area can be the same area or different areas. For example, the speed control area can be an acceleration control other than the joystick in the graphical user interface; the direction control area can be a direction adjustment control other than the joystick in the graphical user interface.

In some implementations, the initial control area, the speed control area, and the direction control area may also be sub-areas of the movement control area.

The speed control operation refers to an operation for adjusting the driving movement parameters of the vehicle. For example, the speed control operation may be accelerating the virtual vehicle by touching the speed control area.

In some embodiments, the method for controlling movement of a virtual object further includes:

In response to a direction control operation acting on the direction control area, the moving direction of the controlled virtual object is adjusted according to the direction control operation, and the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in the adjusted moving direction according to the second moving state.

The direction control operation refers to an operation used to adjust the moving direction of the virtual vehicle. The directional control operation can be to turn the virtual vehicle by touching the directional control area.

For example, when the controlled virtual object is driving a virtual vehicle (i.e., moving in the second moving state), the user can touch the mobile joystick to take over the movement control of the virtual vehicle, such as accelerating or turning the virtual vehicle by dragging the mobile joystick.

Optionally, when the controlled virtual object drives the virtual vehicle, a vehicle control control may be displayed on the graphical user interface, and the vehicle control control is used to control the moving speed and direction of the vehicle, etc. The user may adjust the moving speed and direction of the vehicle by touching the vehicle control control on the graphical user interface.

Optionally, before the user adjusts the moving speed and direction of the vehicle, if there is an obstacle in the moving direction of the virtual vehicle, the virtual vehicle can be automatically controlled to avoid the obstacle to reduce the difficulty of the user driving the virtual vehicle and improve the user experience.

The mobile control scheme of the virtual object provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied in various game scenes. For example, taking a shooting game as an example, the current position of the controlled virtual object is obtained; when the current position is located in the non-driving area of the game scene, in response to the touch operation acting on the mobile control area, the controlled virtual object is controlled to move in the game scene, and the first function control is displayed, and the first function control is configured to respond to the trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to the first movement state corresponding to the first function control; when the current position is located in the driving area of the game scene, in response to the touch operation acting on the mobile control area, the first function control and at least one second function control are controlled to be displayed, and the movement state corresponding to the second function control is different from the movement state corresponding to the first function control, and the second function control is configured to respond to the trigger operation and control the controlled virtual object to move according to the second movement state corresponding to the second function control, wherein the second movement state corresponds to the driving area.

As can be seen from the above, the disclosed embodiment can call out new functional controls and implement new functions by touching the original mobile control area of the graphical user interface without adding operating controls, so as to simplify the interactive interface and avoid accidental touches caused by too many controls on the interface. In addition, when the controlled virtual object is located in different areas such as the non-driving area and the driving area, different functional controls can be called out by touching the mobile control area so that the user can control the controlled virtual object to perform different mobile states. When the controlled virtual object is located in the driving area, the second functional control corresponding to the driving area can be called out, so as to trigger the second functional control and enter the second mobile state in a natural way that is easy for players to understand, thereby improving the interaction efficiency and reducing the energy consumption of the gaming device.

The method described in the above embodiment will be further described in detail below.

In this embodiment, FPS (First-Person Shooter Game) is used as the Taking a mobile game as an example, the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail.

As shown in FIG2 , a specific process of a method for controlling movement of a virtual object is as follows:

210. In response to the initial sliding operation on the mobile joystick, control the controlled virtual object to enter the driving area.

For example, in an FPS mobile game, an area is designated as a driving area in the game scene. Initially, there is no virtual vehicle in the area. The user can control the controlled virtual object to enter the driving area by sliding the mobile joystick in any direction. When the game background monitors that the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, a pop-up window prompt "Vehicles can be driven in the current area" can be displayed in the game interface, and it will be displayed three times.

220. In response to a first sliding operation on the moving joystick, a vehicle summoning control and a sprinting control are displayed in an associated area of the moving joystick.

For example, the first sliding operation and the initial sliding operation may be continuous operations. When the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, the user may continue to drag the mobile joystick in the specified direction to the call-out area above the joystick. In response to the operation of dragging to the call-out area, the vehicle summoning control and the sprinting control may be displayed above the mobile joystick. As shown in the interface schematic diagrams (1) and (2) in FIG1c, in an FPS mobile game, the game interface may display a reloading control and two shooting controls on both sides. The user may control the controlled virtual object to perform reloading and shooting actions by touching the reloading control and the shooting control. The user may operate the left mobile joystick and continue to push it toward the top of the screen. Two guide buttons will appear, namely [Sprint Lock] (Sprint Control) and [Driving Vehicle] (Vehicle Summoning Control). The sprinting control corresponds to the first function response area, and the vehicle summoning control corresponds to the second function response area.

For another example, the first sliding operation and the third sliding operation may be intermittent operations. When the controlled virtual object enters the driving area, the user may release the touch control and move the joystick from the touch control again to drag the moving joystick to the call-out area above the joystick. In response to the operation of dragging to the call-out area, a vehicle summoning control and a sprinting control may be displayed above the moving joystick.

230. In response to the second sliding operation, display a virtual vehicle in the driving area, and control the controlled virtual object to drive the virtual vehicle.

For example, the first sliding operation and the second sliding operation can be continuous operations. After the vehicle summoning control and the sprinting control are displayed, the user can continue to drag the joystick to the second function response area above the joystick, and release the touch control in response to the dragging to the second function response area operation, so as to summon and display the virtual vehicle from the backpack of the controlled virtual object, and control the controlled virtual object to ride in the driving position of the virtual vehicle.

For another example, the first sliding operation and the second sliding operation may be intermittent operations. The touch control may be released, and the joystick may be moved from the touch control again to drag the joystick to the second function response area above the joystick. In response to the dragging to the second function response area, the touch control is released, and a virtual vehicle may be summoned and displayed from the backpack of the controlled virtual object, and the controlled virtual object may be controlled to ride in the driving position of the virtual vehicle.

When the controlled virtual object is in the driving position of the virtual vehicle, the virtual vehicle can move at a moving speed X and a moving direction, where Y=X×120%, X is the moving speed of the controlled virtual object, and A is the moving direction of the controlled virtual object. After the controlled virtual object is in the driving position of the virtual vehicle, the moving speed and direction of the vehicle can be adjusted by using the vehicle control controls on the touch graphical user interface.

It should be noted that the user can freely select the dragging path of the second sliding operation. For example, the dragging path can pass through the sprint control, that is, the user can quickly drag upward to the second function response area, and the first function response area of the sprint control will be touched during the dragging process; the dragging operation can also bypass the sprint control, that is, the user can slowly drag and bypass the first function response area of the sprint control with an arc dragging path, and the sprint control will not be touched during the dragging process. The user can drag the moving joystick upward for a distance to enter the first function response area of the sprint control, release the touch to trigger the sprint function, and drag the moving joystick upward for a distance again to enter the second function response area of the vehicle summoning control, and release the touch to trigger the function of driving the virtual vehicle.

In actual applications, in order to allow users to quickly trigger corresponding functions, as shown in the schematic diagram of the function response area in Figure 1h, the vertical distance and the corresponding two fan-shaped areas for response can be set for the function response area. The vertical distance can prepare for the user to customize the operation distance; the fan-shaped area can reduce the accidental touch of the two controls to a certain extent through the fan-shaped area, so that users can respond to functions at various operation angles and improve fault tolerance.

In addition, users can be supported to adjust the position and order of vehicles and sprints. Users can enter the system-settings-custom interface of the game, click on the remote control control, and two controls, the sprint control and the vehicle summon control, will appear. As shown in Figure 1h and Figure 1j, the schematic diagram of the adjustment function control, the user can drag the up and down position of the function control (and the screen distance of the mobile joystick). The closer the distance, the faster the trigger response (if the distance is too close, it will cause accidental touches for novice users). At the same time, users can be supported to interchange the upper and lower positions of the vehicle and sprint controls to meet the user's different gameplay mechanisms and the operation needs of different types of users, enhance the user's action experience in the game, and make it more free and personalized.
