Method for inserting virtual resource object in application, and terminal

A terminal device, comprising:

• network interface circuitry configured to communicate with a server device via a network;
• a display device configured to display a graphical interface;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• execute an application program that provides the graphical interface on the display device;
• obtain a present location of a graphical symbol in the graphical interface, the graphical symbol being indicative of a placement of a resource for use at a specific area in the graphical interface;
• determine whether the present location of the graphical symbol satisfies a preset condition for the placement of the resource in the specific area;
• determine a target location in the specific area for disposing the resource when the present location satisfies the preset condition;
• send, via the network interface circuitry, a request message that includes the target location to the server device;
• receive, via the network interface circuitry, an approval message that includes the target location, the approval message being sent by the server device when the target location passes a consistency check;
• and
• update the graphical interface with a graphical icon of the resource being positioned at the target location.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform:

• obtaining a present location of a graphical symbol in a graphical interface, the graphical symbol being indicative of a placement of a resource for use at a specific area in the graphical interface;
• determining whether the present location of the graphical symbol satisfies a preset condition for the placement of the resource in the specific area;
• determining a target location in the specific area for disposing the resource when the present location satisfies the preset condition;
• sending a request message including the target location to a server device via a network;
• receiving an approval message including the target location, the approval message being sent by the server device when the target location passes a consistency check;
• and
• updating the graphical interface with a graphical icon of the resource being positioned at the target location.
