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 first battle game device being configured to battle with the second battle game device according to the control instruction;
generating an automatic control configuration according to an automatic control parameter, the automatic control parameter including at least one of an attack probability of the second battle game device launching an attack or an evasion probability of the second battle game device evading an attack, the attack probability and the evasion probability being greater than 0 and less than 100%;
sending the automatic control configuration to the second battle game device, the second battle game device being configured to automatically battle according to the automatic control configuration and a relative position of the first battle game device during the battle game;
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 attacked data reported by an attacked party; and each of the first and second battle game devices is either an attacker or an attacked party; 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 calculated according to the battle game data, and 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 delivering the status update data to the first and second battle game devices 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 calculation according to the battle game data 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 and second battle game devices.

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

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the attack data comprises a first attacker device identifier; and the attacked data comprises an attacked party device identifier and a second attacker device identifier; and
after receiving the battle game data reported by the first and second battle game devices, the method further comprises:
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; and
determining the status update data in response to the attack data matching the attacked data.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after establishing the connection to the second battle game device, the method further comprises:
receiving the automatic control parameter 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, the attack probability, or the evasion probability of the second battle game device; and
generating the automatic control configuration according to the automatic control parameter.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after establishing the 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.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying an automatic control parameter setting interface corresponding to the second battle game device and obtaining the automatic control parameter set by a user on the interface.

9. 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 first battle game device being configured to battle with the second battle game device according to the control instruction;
generating an automatic control configuration according to an automatic control parameter, the automatic control parameter including at least one of an attack probability of the second battle game device launching an attack or an evasion probability of the second battle game device evading an attack, the attack probability and the evasion probability being greater than 0 and less than 100%;
sending the automatic control configuration to the second battle game device, the second battle game device being configured to automatically battle according to the automatic control configuration and a relative position of the first battle game device during the battle game;
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 attacked data reported by an attacked party; and each of the first and second battle game devices is either an attacker or an attacked party; and
delivering status update data to the first and second battle game devices according to the battle game data.

10. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein:
the status update data is calculated according to the battle game data, and comprises at least one of a health point, a battle score, or a battle game device status.

11. The control device according to claim 10 , wherein delivering the status update data to the first and second battle game devices 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 calculation according to the battle game data 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 and second battle game devices.

12. The control device according to claim 10 , wherein 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.

13. The control device according to claim 9 , the attack data comprises a first attacker device identifier; and the attacked data comprises an attacked party device identifier and a second attacker device identifier; and
the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
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.

14. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are
