[0036] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example Interaction

[0038] An example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 2A to FIG. 6 .

[0039] 2A to 2C , which illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A to 200C may be provided by the electronic device 110 as shown in FIG1 .

[0040] 2A may correspond to an interaction interface between the current user and a virtual object. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the interface 200A shown in FIG2A based on an interaction request associated with a target object from the current user for interaction with the virtual object corresponding to the target object.

[0041] In some embodiments, the target object may include an appropriate user object in the platform, such as “User X.” In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide an access entry for accessing the interface 200A in an interface associated with the target object.

[0042] For example, the electronic device 110 may provide an access entry for accessing the interface 200A in the target object's personal homepage or work viewing interface. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's access request based on the user's selection of the access entry and present the interface 200A accordingly.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2A, interface 200A may include an information display area 205 for displaying information associated with the virtual object. As shown in Figure 2A, information display area 205 may be used to display identification information of the target object (e.g., user X) corresponding to the virtual object, such as a text identifier (e.g., user name) and / or an image identifier (e.g., avatar).

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user's selection of identification information or the information display area 205 and further display description information of the virtual object. Such description information may include, but is not limited to, a nickname of the virtual object, an introduction to the virtual object, and a type of the virtual object.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least part of such description information may be determined based on a configuration operation of the target object. For example, the target object (eg, user X) may customize a nickname for the corresponding virtual object.

[0046] In some embodiments, the information display area 205 may further display type information of the virtual object. In some embodiments, the type information may indicate that the virtual object is created based on the image of the first target user, where the first target user is the target object of the published virtual object.

[0047] In some embodiments, the type information may indicate that the virtual object is created based on a virtual character, and the virtual character is a target object corresponding to an animated model image created by the second target user. In some scenarios, such a virtual object is also referred to as a virtual character.

[0048] Additionally, the interface 200A may further include a sharing portal 210 to support the user to share the virtual object with other users. Other users may, for example, access the interactive interface with the virtual object based on accessing the received shared content.

[0049] 2A , the interface 200A may further include an image display area 215 for displaying visual elements 220 corresponding to the virtual object. Such visual elements may include, but are not limited to, two-dimensional images, three-dimensional images, three-dimensional models, and the like.

[0050] In some embodiments, such a visual element 220 may be created based on a configuration operation of a target object. For example, a user may upload a picture or take a photo to create a visual element 220 corresponding to a virtual object.

[0051] Alternatively, such visual element 220 may also be generated based on visual resources associated with the target object. For example, the corresponding visual element 220 may be automatically generated based on the user's avatar.

[0052] In some embodiments, interface 200A further includes a message display area 225. This message display area 225 can be used to present messages from the current user or messages from a virtual object. Taking FIG. 2A as an example, message display area 225 can display the content of a message 255 from a virtual object.

[0053] 2 , the interface 200A may further provide a plurality of controls for interacting with the virtual object. Specifically, the interface 200A may include a set of candidate interaction items, such as a candidate interaction item 230 and a candidate interaction item 235 .

[0054] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of the interactive item 235 , thereby obtaining a first message corresponding to the interactive item 235 as a message sent by the current user to the virtual object.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B , the electronic device 110 may display the content of the first message 260 corresponding to the interactive item 235 in the message display area 225 based on the user's selection of the interactive item 235 .

[0056] Further, as shown in FIG. 2C , in the interface 200C, the electronic device 110 may provide a second message 265 from the virtual object as a reply to the first message 260 .

[0057] In some embodiments, the second message 265 may be generated based on the first message 260. As an example, the electronic device 110 may generate the corresponding second message 265 using any appropriate machine learning model (eg, a language model).

[0058] In some embodiments, the generation of the second message 265 may also be based on reference information associated with the target object (e.g., user X). Such reference information may include, for example, descriptive information about a set of target resources associated with the target object. For example, with the knowledge and permission of the target object, the target object may upload or select a set of resources for training a model corresponding to the virtual object so that the virtual object has corresponding knowledge, language style, and / or timbre.

[0059] In some embodiments, the set of target resources associated with the target object may include work resources. For example, the target object may train or fine-tune the model by selecting one or more published works, so that the model can generate a reply to the user's input message with reference to the one or more works.

[0060] In some embodiments, the set of target resources associated with the target object may include product resources. For example, when the target object is selling or promoting a specific product, the target object may provide information about the product to the model for training or fine-tuning the model, so that the model can reference the product information to generate a response to a user's input message.

[0061] 2C , the electronic device 110 may display the target content corresponding to the second message 265 in the message display area 225. As an example, such a second message 265 may include various types of content, such as text content, image content, video content, audio content, link content, and the like.

[0062] Accordingly, text content, image content, video content, link content, etc. can be presented in the message display area 225, and the corresponding audio content can be played by the electronic device 110. For example, the electronic device 110 can provide the audio content corresponding to the second message 265 while presenting the target content of the second message 265.

[0063] 2C as an example, the target content presented in the message display area 225 may include text content, image content, and product link content. The electronic device 110 may also present a page corresponding to the link content, such as a product purchase page, based on the selection of the link content.

[0064] In some embodiments, when displaying the second message, the electronic device 110 may also control the visual element 220 to display a corresponding effect. For example, the electronic device 110 may drive the visual element 220 to perform corresponding movements based on the text content of the second message, such as mouth movements, facial expression changes, etc. This disclosure is not intended to limit the driving method of the visual element 220.

[0065] Continuing with FIG2A , candidate interaction item 230 may correspond to a specific link, for example. Upon receiving a selection of candidate interaction item 230, electronic device 110 may display a window or page corresponding to the specific link. For example, using FIG2A as an example, candidate interaction item 230 may be used to direct users to a page displaying a group of products associated with the target object.

[0066] 2A , in some embodiments, the interface 200A may further provide a first interactive portal 240. In response to receiving a selection of the first interactive portal 240, the electronic device 110 may display an interface 300A as shown in FIG3A .

[0067] 3A , the electronic device 110 may provide an input field 310 in the interface 300A. The electronic device 110 may receive a first message input by the user via the input field 310. For example, the user may input the first message through a keyboard input control, an audio input control, and / or a picture input control in the input field 310.

[0068] Furthermore, as shown in FIG3B , after the user completes inputting the first message and chooses to send, the electronic device 110 may display the content of the first message 320 in the message display area 225 .

[0069] 3C , the electronic device 110 may display the content of the second message 330 from the virtual object in the message display area 225. Similarly, the electronic device 110 may also drive the visual element 220 to perform corresponding motion based on the second message 330, and may also provide audio content corresponding to the second message 330.

[0070] 2A , in some embodiments, the interface 200A may further provide a second interactive portal 250. In response to receiving a selection of the second interactive portal 250, the electronic device 110 may display an interface 400A as shown in FIG4A .

[0071] 4A , the electronic device 110 may provide an image input control 410 in the interface 400A. The electronic device 110 may receive an image message input via the image input control 410 as a first message sent to the virtual object.

[0072] For example, the user can capture a new image, such as a picture or video, as the first message through the capture control in the image input control 410. As another example, the user can also select an existing picture or video (e.g., picture 430) as the first message sent to the virtual object.

[0073] 4B , after the user completes inputting the first message and selects to send, the electronic device 110 may display the content of the first message 440 in the message display area 225. The content may include a preview of the selected image message and a corresponding text description.

[0074] 4C , the electronic device 110 may display the content of the second message 450 from the virtual object in the message display area 225. Similarly, the electronic device 110 may also drive the visual element 220 to perform corresponding motion based on the second message 450, and may also provide audio content corresponding to the second message 450.

[0075] 2A , in some embodiments, the interface 200A may further provide a third interactive portal 245. In response to receiving a selection of the third interactive portal 245, the electronic device 110 may display an interface 500A as shown in FIG5A .

[0076] As shown in Figure 5A, the electronic device 110 can receive the audio message input by the user as the first message based on the selection of the third interactive portal 245. As shown in Figure 5A, during the audio message reception, the electronic device 110 can also, for example, substantially synchronously display the text content 510 corresponding to the audio message in the message display area 225.

[0077] 5C , after the user completes input of the first message and selects to send it, the electronic device 110 may display the content of the second message 520 from the virtual object in the message display area 225. Similarly, the electronic device 110 may also drive the visual element 220 to perform corresponding motion based on the second message 520, and may also provide audio content corresponding to the second message 520.

[0078] In some embodiments, the interface 200A may be configured to provide an interaction container (also referred to as an interaction space) for supporting the multimodal interaction between the current user and the virtual object, wherein the participants of the interaction container include only the current user and the virtual object.

[0079] Based on the interaction process described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with a space for multimodal one-to-one interaction with virtual objects, thereby improving interaction efficiency.

[0080] In some embodiments, the message display area 225 as described above with reference to FIG. 2A to FIG. 5B can also be used to trigger the viewing of historical messages.

[0081] Specifically, the electronic device 110 may receive a preset operation for the message display area 225. Accordingly, as shown in FIG6 , the electronic device 110 may present a message viewing window 610 for displaying a set of historical messages 620 between the current user and the virtual object.

[0082] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further facilitate users to understand the interaction history with virtual objects, thereby improving the efficiency of message interaction.
