Abstract

A device control system, method, and apparatus are provided. The system includes a control device and at least two battle game devices. The control device is configured to: establish a connection to a first battle game device, and send a control instruction to the first battle game device during a battle game according to a received external control operation. The first battle game device is configured to battle according to the control instruction. The second battle game device is configured to: obtain a relative position of the first battle game device during the battle game, and automatically battle according to the relative position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device control method, applied to a control device, comprising:
establishing a connection to a first battle game device and a second battle game device, respectively;
sending a control instruction to the first battle game device according to a received external control operation during a battle game, the control instruction being used to instruct the first battle game device to battle with the second battle game device according to the control instruction; and the second battle game device being configured to: obtain a relative position of the first battle game device during the battle game, and automatically battle according to the relative position;
receiving battle game data reported by the first and second battle game devices, wherein the battle game data comprises: attack data reported by an attacker and including a first attacker device identifier, and attacked data reported by an attacked party and including an attacked party device identifier and a second attacker device identifier; and each of the first and second battle game devices is either an attacker or an attacked party;
determining, in response to the first attacker device identifier being the same as the second attacker device identifier, that the attack data matches the attacked data;
determining the status update data in response to the attack data matching the attacked data; and
delivering status update data to the first and second battle game devices according to the battle game data.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the status update data is obtained by means of calculation according to the battle game data;
and
the status update data comprises at least one of a health point, a battle score, or a battle game device status.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the calculation according to the battle game data is performed on the control device to obtain the status update data.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein delivering the status update data to the first battle device and the second battle device comprises:
sending the battle game data reported by the first battle game device and the second battle game device to a server, wherein the server performs the calculation according to the battle game data is performed on the control device to obtain the status update data;
receiving status update data sent by the server; and
delivering the status update data received from the server to the first battle device and the second battle device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the establishing the connection to the second battle game device, the method further comprises:
receiving an automatic control parameter that is set for the second battle game device before the battle game, wherein the automatic control parameter comprises at least one of an initial health point, an attack type, an attack probability, or an evasion probability of the second battle game device;
generating an automatic control configuration according to the automatic control parameter; and
delivering the automatic control configuration to the second battle game device, wherein the second battle game device is configured to automatically battle according to the relative position of the first battle game device and the automatic control configuration, wherein
the attack probability indicates a probability that the second battle game device launches an attack, and the evasion probability indicates a probability that the second battle game device evades an attack.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the establishing a connection to the second battle game device, the method further comprises:
receiving the relative position of the first battle game device sent by the second battle game device;
automatically generating an execution instruction according to the relative position, a current status of the first battle game device, a current status of the second battle game device, and a preset control logic; and
sending the execution instruction to the second battle game device, wherein the second battle game device is configured to perform an action according to the execution instruction.

7. A control device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform:
establishing a connection to a first battle game device and a second battle game device, respectively;
sending a control instruction to the first battle game device according to a received external control operation during a battle game, the control instruction being used to instruct the first battle game device to battle with the second battle game device according to the control instruction; and the second battle game device being configured to: obtain a relative position of the first battle game device during the battle game, and automatically battle according to the relative position;
receiving battle game data reported by the first and second battle game devices, wherein the battle game data comprises: attack data reported by an attacker and including a first attacker device identifier, and attacked data reported by an attacked party and including an attacked party device identifier and a second attacker device identifier; and each of the first and second battle game devices is either an attacker or an attacked party;
determining, in response to the first attacker device identifier being the same as the second attacker device identifier, that the attack data matches the attacked data;
determining the status update data in response to the attack data matching the attacked data; and
delivering status update data to the first and second battle game devices according to the battle game data.

8. The control device according to claim 7 , wherein
the status update data is obtained by means of calculation according to the battle game data;
and
the status update data comprises at least one of a health point, a battle score, or a battle game device status.

9. The control device according to claim 8 , wherein the calculation according to the battle game data is performed by the one or more processors of the control device to obtain the status update data.

10. The control device according to claim 7 , wherein delivering the status update data to the first battle device and the second battle device comprises:
sending the battle game data reported by the first battle game device and the second battle game device to a server, wherein the server performs the calculation according to the battle game data is performed on the control device to obtain the status update data;
receiving status update data sent by the server; and
delivering the status update data received from the server to the first battle device and the second battle device.

11. The control device according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
receiving an automatic control parameter that is set for the second battle game device, wherein the automatic control parameter comprises at least one of an initial health point, an attack type, an attack probability, or an evasion probability of the second battle game device;
generating an automatic control configuration according to the automatic control parameter; and
delivering the automatic control configuration to the second battle game device, wherein the second battle game device is configured to automatically battle according to the relative position of the first battle game device and the automatic control configuration, wherein
the attack probability indicates a probability that the second battle game device launches an attack, and the evasion probability indicates a probabili
