[0017] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obstructing the description of the present disclosure with unnecessary details.

[0018] With the rapid development of smart terminal hardware and software technology, more and more services can be implemented with the help of software or applications installed in smart terminals. For example, by building virtual scenes in applications and rendering objects in virtual scenes, the virtual scenes are presented more realistically. The following takes the lighting simulation of virtual objects in virtual scenes as an example to explain the current technical solutions for lighting simulation of virtual objects, which may include the following contents:

[0019] Taking the field of digital real estate as an example, by simulating digital real estate objects in the application or web page of the smart terminal, users can view the housing, apartment type and sunshine conditions of the real estate at any time through the smart terminal, thereby enhancing the user's house viewing experience. However, the currently known mobile terminal applications for house viewing generally lack the function of light simulation. Therefore, users cannot judge the sunshine conditions of each building and room by simulating light, which is not conducive to improving the user's house viewing experience; although some mobile terminal applications for house viewing can simulate light, the simulation of real estate lighting is limited to simulating static light data, and users need to select each building one by one at the corresponding light of the static time for viewing. When the number of buildings in the real estate is large, it increases the time consumption of users to view the sunshine conditions, and it is impossible to simulate the light conditions for each room, resulting in poor light simulation effect of the real estate, low efficiency of users viewing the light conditions, and thus failing to meet the user's house viewing needs.

[0020] Since users pay more attention to the sunlight conditions of buildings and rooms than other factors when selecting houses through smart terminal applications, in order to facilitate users to view the sunlight conditions inside and outside each building and room, it is necessary to provide a lighting simulation solution that can dynamically simulate lighting conditions and perform lighting simulation for a single room, thereby improving the overall lighting simulation effect of the building, improving the user's viewing efficiency of lighting simulation conditions, and meeting users' diverse house viewing needs.

[0021] It should be noted that in the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present disclosure can be executed by a client, application or web page installed or running in an intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal includes but is not limited to: a mobile terminal that supports touch screen operation, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer. The following embodiments of the present disclosure take the digital virtual real estate in the real estate field as a virtual object, and specifically treat each building and room in the real estate as a virtual object for processing. However, in actual applications, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to virtual real estate, and any virtual resource object that can be viewed in the application interface or web page of a mobile terminal is applicable to this solution. The following takes an application running in a mobile terminal to provide users with house viewing services as an example to explain the solution of this specification in detail.

[0022] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the lighting simulation method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The illumination simulation method can be executed by an application installed on the mobile terminal. Figure 1 As shown, the illumination simulation method may specifically include:

[0023] S101, displaying a first virtual object in a user interface, and rendering the first virtual object using pre-configured first illumination data to display an illumination image corresponding to the first virtual object;

[0024] S102, in response to a gesture operation on a simulated illumination icon in a user interface, loading second illumination data within a continuous time period corresponding to a first virtual object, and rendering the first virtual object using the second illumination data, so as to dynamically simulate illumination changes of the first virtual object within the continuous time period;

[0025] S103, in response to a gesture operation on the first virtual object, determining a second virtual object corresponding to the first virtual object, loading pre-configured third lighting data corresponding to the second virtual object, and rendering the second virtual object using the third lighting data to display a lighting image corresponding to the second virtual object.

[0026] Specifically, the user interface refers to the interface of an application running in a mobile terminal, which is an application that provides house viewing services for users. The application can be used to simulate a digital sand table so that users can view the digital sand table on their mobile phones; virtual objects can be considered as virtual buildings or virtual rooms in a digital building. In actual applications, the first virtual object refers to a virtual building object, which can also be referred to as a building object, and the second virtual object refers to a virtual room object, which can also be referred to as a room object. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the application scenarios of digital sand tables, nor are they limited to the lighting simulation of virtual buildings and virtual rooms. Therefore, the above virtual objects are not sufficient to limit the technical solutions of the present application.

[0027] Furthermore, the process of simulating lighting for virtual objects can be considered as using pre-configured lighting parameters to render a corresponding virtual image in the virtual object of the digital sandbox, that is, rendering the virtual object by the image formed by the lighting parameters, so that the virtual object presents a lighting effect; in addition, the virtual object can also be rendered in the form of a map, that is, using a pre-configured lighting effect map, when a virtual object needs to be rendered for lighting, the corresponding lighting effect map is loaded in the virtual object of the digital sandbox, so that the virtual object presents the lighting effect map, so that the user can view the lighting effect of the virtual object (i.e., a virtual building or room).

[0028] Furthermore, gesture operations can be considered as gesture instructions formed by users clicking or sliding the touch screen on the mobile terminal. Different gesture operations generate different gesture instructions. The binding relationship between gestures and instructions can be pre-configured and stored in the server corresponding to the client. In actual applications, after the touch screen detects a gesture issued by a user through a finger or a stylus, the gesture instruction issued by the user is determined based on the correspondence between the gesture and the pre-configured instruction. For example, when a user clicks a time button on the touch screen, the lighting display area in the client displays the light effect corresponding to the time.

[0029] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by displaying a first virtual object in a user interface, the first virtual object is rendered using the pre-configured first illumination data so as to display the illumination image corresponding to the first virtual object; in response to a gesture operation for simulating illumination icons in the user interface, the second illumination data corresponding to the first virtual object in a continuous time period is loaded, and the first virtual object is rendered using the second illumination data so as to dynamically simulate the illumination changes of the first virtual object in a continuous time period; in response to a gesture operation for the first virtual object, the second virtual object corresponding to the first virtual object is determined, the pre-configured third illumination data corresponding to the second virtual object is loaded, and the second virtual object is rendered using the third illumination data so as to display the illumination image corresponding to the second virtual object. The present disclosure can improve the illumination simulation effect of virtual objects, realize dynamic simulation and display of the illumination conditions of virtual objects, improve the efficiency of users viewing the illumination conditions of virtual objects, and meet the viewing needs of users for virtual objects.

[0030] In some embodiments, the user interface includes an option bar and a lighting display area; a first virtual object is displayed in the user interface, and the first virtual object is rendered using pre-configured first lighting data to display a lighting image corresponding to the first virtual object, including: displaying multiple first virtual objects in the lighting display area, each first virtual object including multiple second virtual objects, loading the pre-configured first lighting data, and performing a rendering operation on the first virtual object to display a lighting image corresponding to the rendered first virtual object in the lighting display area; wherein the first lighting data, the second lighting data, and the third lighting data include lighting images, color data, lighting time, and light and shadow data.

[0031] Specifically, an option bar is provided at the top of the application page (i.e., the user interface), and a lighting display area is provided below the option bar. The option bar contains a time button and a simulated sunlight button. Clicking the time button can switch the time point, and clicking the simulated sunlight button can perform dynamic rendering operations on the virtual objects on the current page. One or more virtual building objects can be displayed in the lighting display area, and each virtual building object is composed of several room objects, and each room object will distinguish the sunlight time with different colors. The legend of the corresponding relationship between color and sunlight time is displayed in the lower right corner of the application page.

[0032] Furthermore, before rendering the virtual building object, the lighting data corresponding to each virtual building object in the digital sandbox is configured, such as the lighting data corresponding to the virtual building object at a certain point in time or a certain season. The lighting data can include data stored in a data structure, such as the color corresponding to the lighting, the lighting time, the shadow data generated by the lighting, etc., and can also include some image data, such as the corresponding picture of the building or room under the current lighting conditions.

[0033] It should be noted that the corresponding lighting data of a building or room in a digital sandbox can be generated using separate software or a computer program. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific method for generating the lighting data. As long as the method can generate the corresponding lighting data, it is applicable to this solution.

[0034] In some embodiments, in response to a gesture operation on a simulated lighting icon in a user interface, second lighting data within a continuous time period corresponding to a first virtual object is loaded, and the first virtual object is rendered using the second lighting data so as to dynamically simulate the lighting changes of the first virtual object within the continuous time period, including: when a click operation on the simulated lighting icon is detected, the pre-configured second lighting data of the first virtual object within the continuous time period is loaded, and based on the lighting time in the second lighting data, rendering operations are performed on the first virtual object in sequence according to the time sequence corresponding to the lighting time, so as to dynamically and continuously display the lighting image corresponding to the rendered first virtual object in the lighting display area.

[0035] Specifically, when a click operation is received on the simulated lighting icon in the option bar, the lighting display area of ​​the current application page is switched to the page of dynamic simulated lighting, and by loading the lighting data (i.e., the second lighting data) in a pre-configured continuous time period, the dynamic effect of sunlight on the building within a period of time can be simulated with one click. The process of dynamically simulating lighting for virtual objects in the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a dynamic lighting simulation for a virtual object provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the process of dynamic lighting simulation for virtual objects mainly includes the following contents:

[0036] When the user clicks on the simulated lighting icon in the upper right corner of the page options bar, the lighting display area of ​​the current application page switches to the page of dynamic simulated lighting. At this time, the virtual objects displayed in the lighting display area will call the dynamic lighting data pre-configured in the server, that is, obtain the lighting data for a continuous period of time, and continue to render the virtual objects at a certain time interval, so that users can view the dynamic lighting effects of the virtual objects, thereby forming light and shadow effects. For example, the page will display the continuously changing sunlight conditions corresponding to 9 o'clock to 18 o'clock in units of hours.

[0037] In some embodiments, in response to a gesture operation on a time icon in a user interface, fourth lighting data corresponding to the first virtual object or the second virtual object is loaded, and the first virtual object or the second virtual object is rendered using the fourth lighting data to display a lighting image corresponding to the first virtual object or the second virtual object at the selected time point.

[0038] Specifically, in addition to being able to click the simulated lighting icon in the options bar to view the dynamic lighting effects of the virtual objects on the current page, users can also click the time icon in the options bar to switch the lighting conditions of the virtual objects in different time scenes. For example, users can click on the three time points of "Spring and Autumn Equinox", "Summer Solstice" and "Winter Solstice" to view the sunshine. In actual applications, the time icon can represent specific time points, such as 8 o'clock, 16 o'clock, etc., and can also represent the time corresponding to some seasons, such as the above-mentioned "Spring and Autumn Equinox", "Summer Solstice", "Winter Solstice", etc.

[0039] In some embodiments, in response to a gesture operation on a first virtual object, a second virtual object corresponding to the first virtual object is determined, third lighting data corresponding to a pre-configured second virtual object is loaded, and the second virtual object is rendered using the third lighting data so as to display a lighting image corresponding to the second virtual object, including: when a click operation on the first virtual object is detected, the first virtual object is enlarged within the lighting display area, a click operation on the second virtual object within the enlarged first virtual object is received, the second virtual object and the third lighting data are loaded, and a rendering operation is performed on the second virtual object using the third lighting data so as to display the lighting image corresponding to the rendered second virtual object within the lighting display area.

[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in addition to being able to view the sunlight conditions corresponding to each building in the digital sandbox, the user can also view the sunlight conditions corresponding to the rooms in each building. The process of simulating lighting for virtual room objects in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of performing lighting simulation on a virtual room object provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the process of simulating the lighting of the virtual room object mainly includes the following contents:

[0041] When the user clicks on a building object in the lighting display area, the building object will be enlarged and displayed to cover the entire lighting display area. For the enlarged building object, the page can continue to be zoomed in and out using gestures, and a room object corresponding to the building object can be clicked. After receiving a click operation on a room object, the page in the lighting display area switches to the indoor environment page corresponding to the room object. At this time, the indoor lighting data (i.e., the third lighting data) of the room object is loaded from the server, and the indoor environment is rendered using the indoor lighting data to form an indoor environment image that integrates lighting, so that the user can view the indoor lighting conditions of the room.

[0042] In addition, in addition to performing dynamic lighting simulation operations on the first virtual object (i.e., building object) in the lighting display area, dynamic lighting simulation operations can also be performed on the second virtual object (i.e., room object). The process of performing dynamic lighting simulation operations on the indoor environment is similar to the above-mentioned process of performing dynamic lighting simulation operations on the outdoor building, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second virtual object includes multiple subsidiary virtual objects, the second virtual object and third lighting data are loaded, and a rendering operation is performed on the second virtual object using the third lighting data, so as to display a lighting image corresponding to the rendered second virtual object in the lighting display area, including: loading the subsidiary virtual object in the lighting display area, and loading pre-configured third lighting data corresponding to the subsidiary virtual object, and performing a rendering operation on the subsidiary virtual object using the third lighting data, so as to display a lighting image corresponding to the rendered subsidiary virtual object in the lighting display area; when a click operation on the subsidiary virtual object is detected, switching the rendered subsidiary virtual object displayed in the lighting display area to the subsidiary virtual object of the click operation, so as to switch different subsidiary virtual objects in the lighting display area, wherein the subsidiary virtual object is a subsidiary room object.

[0044] Specifically, the so-called subsidiary virtual objects refer to the indoor spaces corresponding to the houses in each building, such as bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, etc. Therefore, in addition to rendering and displaying the lighting of the outdoor buildings, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also render and display the lighting conditions of the indoor houses. When displaying the indoor lighting conditions, different rooms can be switched, for example, different room cards are displayed on the right side of the indoor display page, and the user's click operation on the room card is received, and the lighting conditions corresponding to different rooms are switched in the indoor lighting display area. At the same time, the room number corresponding to the room can also be displayed in the upper left corner of the page to facilitate user distinction.

[0045] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, not only can the lighting conditions of outdoor buildings be displayed, an overview of the lighting effects of buildings can be viewed, and the building view can be enlarged, but also specific rooms can be selected to view the lighting effects of different rooms indoors, and different time points can be selected and the dynamic effects of sunlight in a fixed time period can be simulated with one key; users can view the lighting effects from both outdoor and indoor perspectives through mobile terminals, thereby making a comprehensive judgment on the lighting conditions of the entire building and room, and improving the effect of users viewing houses on mobile terminals. The present disclosure can improve the lighting simulation effect of virtual objects, realize dynamic simulation and display of the lighting conditions of virtual objects, improve the efficiency of users viewing the lighting conditions of virtual objects, and meet the viewing needs of users for virtual objects.
