NetEase has 1 granted patent in UI/UX.
The patent covers a touch camera control system designed for mobile top-down games that distinguishes between two types of user input: quick fling gestures and slower drag movements. Flings trigger buffered camera glide along with a game action, while precise drags receive compensating adjustments to maintain control accuracy.
NetEase's single UI/UX patent tackles a common problem in mobile top-down games: how to interpret a player's finger slide in a way that feels responsive for both quick camera movements and careful positioning. The system classifies each touch gesture based on parameters like speed, then routes it down one of two paths. Fast flings get smooth camera easing that continues after the finger lifts, and they also fire an associated game action at the same time. Slower, more deliberate drags receive immediate compensating adjustments that keep the view precisely aligned with the player's intent, avoiding the momentum that would interfere with fine control.
