Patent number: 12226693Abstract: An object prompting method includes: displaying a virtual scene picture and superimposing and displaying compass information on the virtual scene picture, a first azimuth scale in the compass information indicates an orientation of the first virtual object in the virtual scene; and displaying an object prompt identifier in response to a sound source object producing a sound in the virtual scene, the object prompt identifier indicates a presence of a sound source producing a sound in a direction corresponding to a second azimuth scale in the compass information. The foregoing method overcomes issues associated with a display of an object prompt identifier being limited by a display region area, a display effect of an object prompt identifier of a sound source object is improved, such that an interaction efficiency of a virtual scene interface is also improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventor: Lingyun Lin

Patent number: 12201904Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for a control interface in a virtual environment. For example, the method includes providing a graphical user interface (GUI) with a virtual environment picture of the virtual environment. The GUI includes a first graphical element and a second graphical element. The first graphical element is associated with a first control for a first virtual object and the second graphical element is associated with a second control for the first virtual object. The method further includes receiving a merge setting operation for the first graphical element and the second graphical element, and merging the first control and the second control into a third graphical element in response to the merge setting operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Company LimitedInventor: Lingyun Lin

Publication number: 20250001302Abstract: In a method for displaying a virtual item in a virtual scene, a first scene image of the virtual scene is displayed from a perspective of a controllable virtual character. An input is received to utilize a sight accessory on a virtual weapon held by the controllable virtual character. A second scene image of the virtual scene is displayed as viewed through the sight accessory, the second scene image including an outline of the sight accessory. An eyepiece shadow and an objective lens shadow are rendered within an inner region of the outline. The eyepiece shadow simulates a shadow cast by an eyepiece end of the sight accessory, and the objective lens shadow simulates a shadow cast by an objective lens end of the sight accessory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Company LimitedInventor: Lingyun LIN

Patent number: 12048880Abstract: A method and a device for displaying an interactive item are disclosed. In an example method, under a condition that a perspective item is in an assembled state, when detecting that an occluded interactive item is included within a viewing angle range of a controlled virtual object in a virtual scene and the occluded interactive item meets a perspective condition, the occluded interactive item may be displayed in the virtual scene in a perspective manner, so that the controlled virtual object may see the occluded interactive item through an obstacle, thereby extending a capability for the controlled virtual object to obtain information, and rendering a living environment of virtual objects with different interactive items more balanced. The disclosed implementations improve attractiveness of a shooting game by enriching interactivity.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Jinhao Yang, Lingyun Lin
