3) The virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on the terminal. The virtual scene may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional virtual environment, or a pure fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, or a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the dimension of the virtual scene is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, a virtual scene may include sky, land, ocean, etc., the land may include environmental elements such as deserts, cities, etc., and a user may control a virtual object to move in the virtual scene.

4) A virtual object, an avatar of various people and things that can interact in the virtual scene, or a movable object in the virtual scene. The movable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc., such as: characters, animals, plants, oil drums, walls, rocks, etc. displayed in the virtual scene. The virtual object may be an avatar in the virtual scene that is virtual to represent the user.

In the virtual scene, a user may control a virtual object to perform an action through a picture (such as an object interaction interface) of the virtual scene, specifically, the virtual object may hold a virtual prop, which may be any prop used when the virtual object interacts with other virtual objects, for example, a virtual shooting prop, a virtual bow, a virtual slingshot, a virtual nunchakus, a virtual whip, and the like, and the user may control the virtual object to interact with other virtual objects based on the picture of the virtual scene displayed by the terminal.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal presents the virtual shooting prop corresponding to the virtual object through the picture of the virtual scene, and presents the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop. The aiming direction of the sight bead pattern is the shooting direction of a virtual camera (equivalent to the eyes of a user, which shoots a virtual scene to obtain a scene picture and is wholly or partially presented in the picture of the virtual scene) of the virtual scene, and the aiming direction is used for indicating the sight line direction of the user, so that the user can conveniently control the virtual shooting prop to aim at a target object.

In some embodiments, the terminal further presents a selection interface comprising at least two candidate virtual shooting props prior to presenting the virtual shooting props and the corresponding sight patterns; and receiving a selection operation aiming at the candidate virtual shooting prop triggered based on the selection interface, and taking the selected candidate virtual shooting prop as the virtual shooting prop.

In practical application, before the terminal presents the picture of the virtual scene or in the process of presenting the picture of the virtual scene, the terminal can present a selection interface for selecting the virtual shooting props, at least two candidate virtual shooting props are presented in the selection interface, and in practical application, presentation of the candidate virtual shooting props can be realized through icons corresponding to the virtual shooting props. The selection interface can be a picture occupying the whole view interface of the terminal, or can be a picture occupying the terminal view interface, for example, the selection interface can be suspended on the picture of the virtual scene. When the user triggers the selection operation aiming at the at least two candidate virtual shooting props based on the selection interface, the terminal receives and responds to the selection operation, and the selected candidate virtual shooting props are determined as virtual shooting props.

Here, when the user triggers a selection operation for a virtual firing prop based on the selection interface, the selected virtual firing prop may be displayed in the selection interface in a target display style such that the display style of the selected virtual firing prop is different from the display styles of the non-selected candidate virtual firing props, e.g., the selected virtual firing prop is highlighted in the selection interface and the other non-selected candidate virtual firing props are not highlighted in the selection interface.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating selection of a virtual shooting prop according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the terminal is presented with selection interface a0 floating over the screen of the virtual scene and with 4 candidate virtual shooting properties B1-B4, and when a selection operation for candidate virtual shooting property B2 is received, candidate virtual shooting property B2 is determined as a virtual shooting property.

In some embodiments, the terminal may present the virtual shooting props and corresponding sight patterns by: presenting an operation control of the virtual shooting prop in an interface of a virtual scene; and when the operation control is in an activated state, responding to the trigger operation aiming at the operation control, and presenting the virtual shooting prop and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

Here, in general, the selection and use of a virtual shooting prop needs to be performed when the corresponding operating control is in an activated state. Specifically, the terminal can display the operation control of the virtual shooting prop through the target style, so that the display style of the operation control of the virtual shooting prop in the activated state is different from the display style of the operation control of the virtual shooting prop in the inactivated state. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic representation of a virtual shooting prop and a sight pattern provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the display modes of the operation controls B1, B3, and B4 of the virtual shooting props in the inactive state in the virtual prop list are gray-scale display, and the display mode of the operation controls B2 in the active state in the virtual shooting prop list is highlight display.

At this time, the user may select the virtual shooting prop in an activated state based on the screen of the virtual scene. Specifically, the terminal presents an operation control of the virtual shooting prop in a picture of a virtual scene, and when the operation control of the virtual shooting prop is in an activated state, the virtual shooting prop and a sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop are presented in response to the triggering operation of a user on the operation control. With continued reference to fig. 6, the terminal presents the operation control B2 of the virtual shooting prop in a highlighted manner (i.e., the operation control B2 of the virtual shooting prop is in an activated state), receives a trigger operation of the operation control B2 for the virtual shooting prop, and presents the virtual shooting prop and a sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

Step 102: and controlling the sight bead pattern to move towards the target object in response to the aiming operation triggered by the virtual shooting prop for the target object.

Here, after the terminal presents the virtual shooting prop and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop, the state at this time is the idle state of the virtual object, and the user can operate the virtual shooting prop to realize interaction with other virtual objects by controlling the virtual object, for example, the user can aim the target object by controlling the virtual object to attack the target object. Specifically, when an aiming operation for a target object triggered based on the virtual shooting prop is received, the aiming operation is responded, the sight pattern is controlled to move towards the target object to realize an aiming function, and the moving process of the sight pattern can be presented.

In some embodiments, the terminal may control the movement of the sight-star pattern towards the target object by: presenting aiming control function items corresponding to the virtual shooting props; the method includes controlling the sight-star pattern to move toward the target object in response to a targeting operation for the target object triggered based on the targeting control function item.

In practical application, the terminal may further present an aiming control function item corresponding to the virtual shooting prop, where the aiming control function item may be a function button or a function icon. The user can trigger the aiming operation aiming at the target object through the aiming control function item. Illustratively, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the targeting operation provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the aiming control function item is a function button presented by an icon, and a user can trigger an aiming operation for a target object by controlling (e.g., long-pressing and sliding) the function button.

In some embodiments, the terminal may control the movement of the sight-star pattern towards the target object by: receiving a sliding operation of a picture for a virtual scene; and responding to a sliding operation, moving a picture of a virtual scene corresponding to the sight pattern to control the sight pattern to move towards the target object, wherein the sliding operation is used for triggering the aiming operation of the virtual shooting prop for the target object.

In practical application, a user can realize aiming operation aiming at a target object through a picture of a virtual scene presented by a sliding view interface. When the terminal receives the sliding operation of the user on the picture of the virtual scene, the aiming operation of the virtual shooting prop on the target object is triggered. And the terminal responds to the sliding operation, and moves the picture of the virtual scene corresponding to the sight pattern so as to move the ground sight pattern to the target object. Illustratively, referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a targeting operation provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Here, when a user's sliding operation on the screen of the virtual scene is received, the screen corresponding to the foresight pattern is moved, for example, the screen corresponding to the foresight pattern is moved from the area (1) to the area (2), so as to control the foresight pattern to move towards the target object.

Step 103: when the sight-star pattern moves to a target area centered on the target object, a resistance against the sight-star pattern in the moving direction is generated to control the virtual shooting prop to aim the target object based on the resistance.

Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, to help a user achieve accurate aiming of a target object, the position of the alignment star pattern relative to the target object is detected. Specifically, a target area centered on a target object may be set in advance for the target object, and the target area may be a rectangular, square, circular, or the like area centered on the target object.

In some embodiments, the terminal may detect whether the star pattern moves to a target area centered on the target object by: determining an area detection frame corresponding to the target object, wherein the area detection frame corresponds to the target area; acquiring corresponding position information of the sight bead pattern in the virtual scene; when it is determined that the sight bead pattern is located within the area detection frame based on the position information, it is determined that the sight bead pattern moves to the target area.

In practical application, the terminal can acquire the corresponding position information of the sight bead pattern in the virtual scene,

When the sight bead pattern is detected to move to the target area based on the aiming operation, the aiming position of the user is considered to be close to the target object, and at the moment, resistance aiming at the sight bead pattern in the moving direction is generated so as to assist the user to control the virtual shooting prop to aim the target object. Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a sight pattern in a target area according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the sight pattern is moved into a target area, which is a rectangular area centered on the target object, based on the aiming operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the resistance is expressed as a decrease in sensitivity when the user slides the screen to aim at the target object, that is, when the sight-star pattern is located within the target area, the user uses the same sliding distance as when the sight-star pattern is located outside the target area, but the deflection of the angle of view in the virtual scene is lower than when the sight-star pattern is located outside the target area.

In some embodiments, the terminal may present an auxiliary aiming function item; in response to an opening instruction for the auxiliary aiming function item, adjusting the mode of aiming operation to be an auxiliary aiming mode;

accordingly, when the terminal detects that the sight pattern moves to the target area with the target object as the center and the mode of the aiming operation is the auxiliary aiming mode, the terminal generates resistance aiming at the sight pattern in the moving direction so as to control the virtual shooting prop to aim the target object based on the resistance.

In practical applications, a corresponding auxiliary aiming function item can be provided for the virtual scene, and the auxiliary aiming function item is used for enabling or disabling an auxiliary aiming mode by a user. The auxiliary aiming mode is used for generating resistance aiming at the sight pattern in the moving direction when the sight pattern moves to a target area taking the target object as the center so as to control the virtual shooting prop to aim the target object based on the resistance.

When the terminal receives a starting instruction which is triggered by a user and aims at the auxiliary aiming function item, the mode of the aiming operation is adjusted to be an auxiliary aiming mode. At this time, if the terminal detects that the sight bead pattern moves to the target area, resistance in the moving direction for the sight bead pattern is generated, so that the virtual shooting prop is controlled to aim at the target object based on the resistance. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic representation diagram of an auxiliary aiming function item provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Here, the terminal presents a function item of "auxiliary aiming" in a screen of the virtual scene, and the user can turn on or off the auxiliary aiming mode through the function item. In other embodiments, the terminal may also be presented in a setting interface of a virtual scene, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

In some embodiments, the terminal may generate a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement by: acquiring the distance between the sight bead pattern and a target object; based on the negative correlation between the distance and the resistance, a resistance in the moving direction for the sight-star pattern is generated.

In practical applications, the resistance may be constant, i.e. when proceeding from the sight pattern to the target area, the resistance is increased by a constant value in the moving direction for the sight pattern; in addition, the resistance may also be varied, for example, according to the distance between the sight-star pattern and the target object, so that the user does not experience sudden changes in aiming but feels the existence of stiction smoothly through the gradual change of the resistance.

When the resistance is not a constant value, the terminal may generate a resistance of a target size according to a change in distance between the sight-star pattern and the target object. Specifically, the terminal acquires the distance between the sight pattern and the target object, and generates the resistance to the sight pattern in the moving direction based on the negative correlation between the distance and the resistance. That is, the larger the distance between the sight-star pattern and the target object, the smaller the generated resistance; the smaller the distance between the sight-star pattern and the target object, the greater the resistance generated. Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the distance and the resistance provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Here, as the distance between the sight-star pattern and the target object becomes smaller, the generated resistance becomes larger.

In practical implementation, the target area may be further divided into a plurality of area units, and a corresponding resistance value is set for each area unit, and a difference value between the resistance values of adjacent area units is lower than a difference threshold value, so that according to a position of the quasi-star pattern in the target area, a resistance value of the area unit corresponding to the position is generated, so as to generate a resistance value for the quasi-star pattern in the moving direction.

In some embodiments, the terminal may generate a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement by: acquiring a target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to a target object and an operation speed corresponding to aiming operation; based on the target moving direction and the operating speed, a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the moving direction is generated.

In some embodiments, the terminal may generate a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement based on the target direction of movement and the operating speed by: when the target moving direction is that the sight-aiming pattern moves towards the direction close to the target object, generating resistance aiming at the sight-aiming pattern in the moving direction based on the positive correlation relation between the operation speed and the resistance; when the target moving direction is a direction in which the sight pattern moves away from the target object, a resistance against the sight pattern in the moving direction is generated based on a negative correlation relationship between the operation speed and the resistance.

In practical applications, when a user performs a screen sliding operation to achieve aiming, in order to avoid that a strong friction force is also sensed when the user does not aim at the target, or the resistance force is also resisted by the friction force when the user intends to move a visual angle away from the target, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for changing the magnitude of the resistance force by gesture judgment. When the screen sliding direction of the user (i.e. the target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object) is moving towards the direction close to the target object, the positive correlation between the operation speed and the resistance is formed, i.e. the faster the gesture sliding of the user (i.e. the operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation) is, the greater the resistance is, so as to avoid that the user quickly slides over the target object. When the screen sliding direction of the user (i.e. the target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object) moves towards the direction far away from the target object, the operation speed and the resistance are in a negative correlation relationship, i.e. the faster the gesture sliding of the user (i.e. the operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation) is, the smaller the resistance is, so as to avoid hindering the user from controlling the virtual shooting prop to move the sight pattern.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the moving direction, the operating speed and the resistance provided by the embodiment of the invention. Here, as the sight pattern moves toward the direction of approaching the target object, the generated resistance becomes larger as the operation speed increases; when the sight-star pattern moves in a direction away from the target object, the generated resistance becomes smaller as the operation speed increases.

In some embodiments, the terminal may generate a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement by: acquiring a target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object, an operation speed corresponding to aiming operation and a distance between the sight pattern and the target object; in conjunction with the target movement direction, the operating speed, and the distance, a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the movement direction is generated.

In some embodiments, the terminal may generate a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement by combining the target direction of movement, the operating speed, and the distance as follows: generating a basic resistance of the sight bead pattern in the moving direction based on the target moving direction and the operation speed; determining a resistance coefficient corresponding to the sight bead pattern based on the distance and the maximum distance between the target object and the boundary of the target area; based on the base resistance and the resistance coefficient, a resistance in the moving direction for the sight-star pattern is generated.

In practical applications, the terminal may also detect the sight pattern in the target area in real time, such as the moving direction of the sight pattern, the operation speed of the user for controlling the movement of the sight pattern, and the distance between the sight pattern and the target object, so as to generate and output the resistance based on the detection result.

Specifically, the terminal may first generate a base resistance of the sight bead pattern in the moving direction according to the target moving direction and the operation speed; then determining a resistance coefficient corresponding to the sight pattern according to the distance between the sight pattern and the target object and the maximum distance between the target object and the boundary of the target area, specifically, determining a corresponding resistance coefficient according to the proportional relation between the distance and the maximum distance; and finally multiplying the basic resistance and the resistance coefficient to obtain the resistance of the sight bead pattern, and generating the resistance of the sight bead pattern in the moving direction based on the resistance.

By applying the embodiment of the invention, the virtual shooting prop in the virtual scene and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop are presented, when the aiming operation aiming at the target object triggered based on the virtual shooting prop is received, the sight pattern is controlled to move towards the target object in response to the aiming operation, when the sight pattern moves to the target area taking the target object as the center, the resistance of the sight pattern in the moving direction is generated, and therefore, the virtual shooting prop is controlled to aim at the target object based on the resistance. That is to say, in the aiming process for the target object, if the sight pattern moves to the area near the target object, the moving speed of the sight pattern is reduced by generating the resistance of the sight pattern in the moving direction, so that the virtual shooting prop is conveniently controlled to accurately aim the target object, the interaction times required for achieving the interaction purpose are reduced, the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved, and the occupation of hardware processing resources is reduced.

An exemplary application of the embodiments of the present invention in a practical application scenario will be described below.

In most current shooting games, auxiliary aiming is a very important function in aiming and is also an important factor influencing aiming hand feeling. In the related technology, when a user controls a virtual shooting prop to aim an interactive object, accurate aiming of the interactive object is difficult to achieve, man-machine interaction operations such as screen sliding and moving are often required to be executed for many times, aiming effect is still not ideal, and user experience in a virtual scene is greatly influenced.

Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for aiming a virtual shooting prop, and referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic flow chart of the method for aiming a virtual shooting prop provided in the embodiment of the present invention, including:

step 201: the terminal receives a triggering operation of entering the virtual scene based on the view interface, and sends an acquisition request of scene data of the virtual scene to the server.

Step 202: the server receives the acquisition request of the scene data, responds to the acquisition request, and returns the scene data of the virtual scene to the terminal.

Step 203: the terminal receives scene data of the virtual scene, renders pictures of the virtual scene based on the scene data, presents the pictures of the virtual scene, and presents operation controls of the virtual shooting prop.

Step 204: and when the operation control is in an activated state, responding to the trigger operation aiming at the operation control, and presenting the virtual shooting prop in the virtual scene and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

Here, the terminal is provided with a client, such as a game client, which, by running the game client, enters a screen of a virtual scene of the game (such as a shooting game scene), and presents an operation control of the virtual shooting prop in the screen. The picture of the virtual scene is obtained by observing the virtual scene from the visual angle of a virtual object, and the virtual object is an avatar in the virtual scene corresponding to the user who logs in the game client.

When the operation control of the virtual shooting prop is in an activated state, the user can trigger the operation control through operations such as clicking. And the terminal receives the trigger operation of the user for the operation control, responds to the trigger operation, and presents the virtual shooting prop in the virtual scene and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

Step 205: and controlling the sight bead pattern to move towards the target object in response to the aiming operation triggered by the virtual shooting prop for the target object.

In practical application, a terminal receives sliding operation of a picture aiming at a virtual scene; and responding to the sliding operation, moving the picture of the virtual scene corresponding to the sight pattern so as to control the sight pattern to move towards the target object. The sliding operation is used for triggering the aiming operation of the virtual shooting prop for the target object.

Here, the user may implement the aiming operation of the target object through the screen of the virtual scene presented by the sliding view interface. The terminal receives sliding operation of a user on the picture of the virtual scene, and moves the picture of the virtual scene corresponding to the sight pattern, so that the sight pattern moves towards the target object, and aiming operation on the target object is achieved.

Step 206: detecting whether the sight pattern moves to a target area with the target object as the center, if so, executing step 207; if not, return to step 205.

Step 207: a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement is generated.

Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, to help a user achieve accurate aiming of a target object, the position of the alignment star pattern relative to the target object is detected. When it is detected that the sight-star pattern moves to the target area (i.e., the friction area) based on the aiming operation, the aiming position of the user is considered to be close to the vicinity of the target object, see fig. 9, where fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the sight-star pattern provided by the embodiment of the present invention in the target area.

At this time, a resistance (i.e., a frictional force) needs to be generated in the moving direction of the sight pattern. In actual practice, this resistance appears to the user as a decrease in sensitivity when the user slides the screen to achieve aim of the target object, i.e. when the sight-star pattern is within the target area, the user slides the same distance as the sight-star pattern is outside the target area, but the deflection of the viewing angle in the virtual scene is lower than outside the target area.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic diagram of the target area and the resistance range provided by the embodiment of the invention. Here, when generating the resistance force in the moving direction with respect to the sight-mark pattern, first, a target region (i.e., a generating range) of the resistance force is set, the target region may be a rectangular, square, circular, or the like region centered on the target object, and the set value (for example, a value 60 shown in fig. 14) may be the radius of the circular target region, the side length of the square target region, or the like, or may be the area of the target region.

The resistance may not be a constant value when the resistance is effective in the target area. Therefore, the maximum and minimum values of the resistance are set to realize the gradual change of the resistance from the boundary of the target area to the center (i.e., from the outside to the inside), as shown in fig. 14, by setting the maximum value (1) and the minimum value (0.3) of the moving speed of the sight-star pattern after passing through the resistance.

In practical application, the distance between the sight bead pattern and the target object can be acquired; based on the negative correlation between the distance and the resistance, a resistance in the moving direction for the sight-star pattern is generated. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distance and the resistance have a negative correlation relationship, that is, the closer to the target object, the higher the resistance, and the farther from the target object, the lower the resistance. As shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the distance and the resistance provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The gradual change of the resistance does not cause sudden change in the user experience during aiming, but is smooth to feel the existence of the stiction.

In practical application, the target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object and the operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation can be obtained; based on the target moving direction and the operating speed, a resistance to the sight-star pattern in the moving direction is generated. Specifically, when the target moving direction is the direction in which the sight-mark pattern moves closer to the target object, the resistance to the sight-mark pattern in the moving direction is generated based on the positive correlation between the operating speed and the resistance; when the target moving direction is a direction in which the sight pattern moves away from the target object, a resistance against the sight pattern in the moving direction is generated based on a negative correlation relationship between the operation speed and the resistance.

In practical implementation, when a user performs a screen sliding operation, in order to avoid that a strong friction force is felt when the user does not aim at the target, or the friction force is also used for resisting when the player intends to move the visual angle away from the target, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for changing the resistance by gesture judgment. When the user's screen sliding direction (i.e. the target moving direction of the sight-star pattern relative to the target object) is moving closer to the target object, the resistance gradually increases, and the faster the user's gesture slides (i.e. the operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation), the greater the resistance is, so as to avoid the user from quickly crossing. When the screen sliding direction (i.e. the target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object) of the user moves away from the target object, the resistance gradually decreases, and the faster the gesture sliding (i.e. the operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation) of the user is, the smaller the resistance is, so as to avoid hindering the user from controlling the virtual shooting prop to move. As shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the moving direction, the operating speed and the resistance provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 208: and controlling the virtual shooting prop to aim at the target object based on the resistance.

Referring next to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of the generation of resistance provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Here, whether the sight pattern is within the target area, the moving direction of the sight pattern, the operation speed at which the user controls the movement of the sight pattern, and the distance between the sight pattern and the target object may be detected in real time to perform the generation and output of the resistance based on the detection result.

Step 301: and the user starts to slide the screen, and the aiming operation aiming at the target object is triggered through the screen sliding operation.

Step 302: whether the sight pattern moves to the target area is detected, if so, step 303 is executed, and if not, step 310 is executed.

Here, the target area is centered on the target object.

Step 303: acquiring the target moving direction of the sight pattern relative to the target object, and determining whether the sight pattern moves towards the direction close to the target object, if so, executing step 304, otherwise, executing step 307.

Step 304: and acquiring an operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation, and determining the basic resistance by adopting the approach parameter (namely, the positive correlation between the operation speed and the resistance).

Step 305: the distance between the sight pattern and the target object is acquired, and the distance and the basic resistance are combined to generate resistance in the moving direction for aiming operation.

Here, the resistance coefficient corresponding to the sight pattern may be determined according to the distance between the sight pattern and the target object and the maximum distance between the target object and the boundary of the target area, and specifically, the corresponding resistance coefficient may be determined according to a proportional relationship between the distance and the maximum distance; and multiplying the basic resistance and the resistance coefficient to obtain the resistance magnitude of the sight bead pattern, so as to generate the resistance in the moving direction of the sight bead pattern based on the resistance magnitude.

Step 306: and (4) judging whether the screen is continuously slid (namely whether the sight bead pattern is continuously moved), if so, returning to the step 303, and if not, ending.

Step 307: and acquiring an operation speed corresponding to the aiming operation, and determining the basic resistance by adopting a remote parameter (namely, the operation speed and the resistance have a negative correlation).

Step 308: and acquiring the distance between the sight bead pattern and the target object, and combining the distance and the basic resistance to generate resistance aiming at the sight bead pattern in the moving direction.

Step 309: and (4) judging whether the screen is continuously slid (namely whether the sight bead pattern is continuously moved), if so, returning to the step 302, and if not, ending.

Step 310: no resistance is generated against the sight-star pattern in the direction of movement.

By applying the embodiment of the invention, a scheme for assisting aiming based on resistance is introduced, when a user aims, the user can turn left and right the sliding screen, and as the aiming position (namely the position of the sight pattern) gradually approaches to the target object, the resistance is added in the moving direction of the sight pattern to help the user to decelerate, so that the user generates a sticky feeling, the time for the user to aim and stay at the target object is prolonged, the target object cannot be quickly scratched, and the user can conveniently control the virtual shooting prop to accurately aim the target object. Moreover, the viscous resistance can not rob the 'operation right' of the user, and the perceptibility of the user during aiming can be weak, so that the user experience is improved.
