Among them, in the first rectangle of the second area 120, the avatar of virtual character b selected by "Player 1" in the opposing team is displayed, and there are no avatars of virtual characters in the remaining 4 rectangles. The virtual character selection area displays a first label "All", second labels "Type A", "Type B", "Type C", "Type D", "Type E", "Type F", and a dropdown box "Character ID". Among them, the first label "All", the second labels "Type B", "Type C", "Type D", "Type E", "Type F", and the dropdown box "Character ID" are all in the unselected state, and the second label "Type A" is in the selected state. The virtual character selection area displays the Type A virtual characters corresponding to the target game. The third area 130 displays the avatar of virtual character b, the text "Restraint Relationship", and the avatar of virtual character d.

[0077] By implementing this method, when a player selects a virtual character, the virtual character selection interface of the game can be recognized to determine the virtual character selection situation of the player's own team / opposing team. Then, based on the virtual character selection situation of the player's own team / opposing team, the recommended virtual character corresponding to the player's own team can be obtained. Finally, the character information of the recommended virtual character is displayed for the player to refer to. On the one hand, the function of automatically recommending virtual characters when a player selects a virtual character is realized, enabling the player's selection of game characters to not be limited to their own experience, greatly improving the player's gaming experience. On the other hand, this game character recommendation function is completely implemented by the terminal device itself and is applicable to any MOBA, with strong universality.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2A , Figure 2A which is a schematic flowchart of another information prompting method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2A shown, the information prompting method may include the following steps:

[0079] 201. When running the target game, recognize the currently displayed game interface.

[0080] In some embodiments, recognizing the currently displayed game interface may include, but is not limited to, the following methods:

[0081] Method 1: Extract the third area in the currently displayed game interface, and when there is character ban indication information in the third area, determine that the game interface is a virtual character ban interface.

[0082] Method 2: Extract the first area and the second area in the currently displayed game interface respectively; when the first area indicates that the virtual characters of the player's own team are in a selection waiting state and the second area indicates that the virtual characters of the opposing team are in a selection waiting state, determine that the game interface is a virtual character ban interface. The virtual characters of the player's own team being in a selection waiting state means that any player in the player's own team cannot select a character, and the virtual characters of the opposing team being in a selection waiting state means that any player in the opposing team cannot select a character.

[0083] In some embodiments, the character ban indication information is used to prompt the player to ban a character. Optionally, the character ban indication information may include any one or several combinations of text, numbers, and letters. Exemplarily, the character ban indication information may be "Ban Character".

[0084] 202. If the recognition result indicates that the game interface is a virtual character ban interface, display the character information of the recommended virtual characters to be banned.

[0085] In some embodiments, displaying the character information of a disabled recommended virtual character may include: displaying a floating window carrying the character information of the disabled recommended virtual character.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, before identifying the currently displayed game interface, the application identifier of the application in the startup state may also be obtained, and it is determined whether the application identifier of the application in the startup state includes the application identifier of the target game. If it includes, it is determined that the terminal device is running the target game, and then the currently displayed game interface is continuously identified.

[0087] In some embodiments, the currently displayed game interface may be obtained by using a screenshot tool. Among them, the screenshot tool may be a system application or a third-party application of the terminal device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0088] In some embodiments, if the currently displayed game interface is a virtual character disabling interface, the virtual character disabling interface may further include a virtual character selection area. For the description of the virtual character selection area, please refer to Figure 1A the introduction in the embodiments shown, which will not be elaborated here.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 2B , Figure 2B which is a schematic diagram of a virtual character disabling interface disclosed in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2B The virtual character disabling interface shown includes a first area 110 in the left area of the currently displayed interface, a second area 120 in the right area of the currently displayed interface, a third area 130 in the upper area of the currently displayed interface, and a virtual character selection area 140 in the middle area of the currently displayed interface. Among them, the first area 110 includes the player identifiers "Player 1", "Player 2", "Player 3", "Player 4", "Player 5" of the own team and a rectangular box corresponding to each player identifier. The second area 120 includes the player identifiers "Player 1", "Player 2", "Player 3", "Player 4", "Player 5" of the opposing team and a rectangular box corresponding to each player identifier. The third area 130 displays "Disable Character", and the virtual character selection area displays a first label "All", second labels "Class A", "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class E", "Class F", and a dropdown box "Character Identifier". Among them, the first label "All", the second labels "Class A", "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class E", "Class F", and the dropdown box "Character Identifier" are all in the unselected state, and the avatars of the virtual characters to be selected by the player are not displayed in the virtual character selection area.

[0090] In some embodiments, the floating window carrying the role information of the disabled recommended virtual character may be in the third area on the virtual character disabling interface.

[0091] In some embodiments, the role information of the disabled recommended virtual character may include the role identifier corresponding to the disabled recommended virtual character.

[0092] In some embodiments, the role information of the disabled recommended virtual character may include the avatar and the disabling rate corresponding to the disabled recommended virtual character.

[0093] In some embodiments, disabling the recommended virtual character includes one or more of the following:

[0094] The first case: in the target game, the virtual character whose disabling rate is higher than the first disabling rate threshold during the target period; wherein, the target period may indicate the corresponding period of the current season of the target game, or may also be a week, a month, a quarter, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0095] The second case: in the target game, the virtual character whose disabling rate corresponding to the game ranking level of one's own team is higher than the second disabling rate threshold.

[0096] In some embodiments, determining the virtual character whose disabling rate corresponding to the game ranking level of one's own team is higher than the second disabling rate threshold may include: obtaining the game levels corresponding to each player in one's own team, and based on the game levels corresponding to each player in one's own team, obtaining the game ranking level of one's own team, and obtaining the virtual character whose disabling rate corresponding to this game ranking level is higher than the second disabling rate threshold.

[0097] It can be understood that in a multiplayer online battle arena game, the game server usually forms a team with players having a small difference in ranking levels. In this way, there is usually a small difference between the game ranking levels of one's own team and the opponent team. By implementing this method, the virtual character with a high disabling rate corresponding to the game ranking level can be obtained, making the recommended disabled recommended virtual character more in line with the needs of players.

[0098] The third case: the virtual character in the virtual character library of the opponent team whose winning rate is higher than the winning rate threshold.

[0099] Among them, the virtual character library of the opponent team may include the virtual characters that each player of the opponent team is good at, and the winning rate corresponding to each virtual character. By implementing this method, the virtual characters that the players of the opponent team are good at and have a high winning rate can be disabled, further improving the winning rate of one's own team.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2C , Figure 2C which is a schematic diagram of another virtual character disabling interface disclosed in the embodiments of the present application.Figure 2C The virtual character disabling interface shown includes a first area 110 in the left area of the current display interface, a second area 120 in the right area of the current display interface, a third area 130 in the upper area of the current display interface, and a virtual character selection area 140 in the middle area of the current display interface. Among them, the first area 110 includes player identifiers of one's own team, namely "Player 1", "Player 2", "Player 3", "Player 4", "Player 5", and a rectangular box corresponding to each player identifier. The second area 120 includes player identifiers of the opposing team, namely "Player 1", "Player 2", "Player 3", "Player 4", "Player 5", and a rectangular box corresponding to each player identifier. The third area 130 displays the avatar of the recommended virtual character e to be disabled and the disabling rate of 80%. The virtual character selection area displays a first label "All", second labels "Class A", "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class E", "Class F", and a dropdown box "Character Identifier". Among them, the first label "All", the second labels "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class E", "Class F", and the dropdown box "Character Identifier" are all in the unselected state, and the second label "Class A" is in the selected state. The virtual character selection area displays the Class A virtual characters corresponding to the target game.

[0101] 203. If the recognition result indicates that the game interface is a virtual character selection interface, recognize the virtual character selection interface, where the virtual character selection interface includes a first area and a second area. The first area is used to display the character elements of the virtual characters selected by one's own team, and the second area is used to display the character elements of the virtual characters selected by the opposing team.

[0102] Among them, in the embodiments of the present application, the character elements may include the avatars of virtual characters.

[0103] In some embodiments, recognizing the virtual character selection interface may include: respectively calculating a first hash value corresponding to the first area and a second hash value corresponding to the second area in the virtual character selection interface; comparing the first hash value and the second hash value with the target hash values corresponding to the avatars of each virtual character stored in advance to obtain a first hash similarity between the first hash value and each target hash value, and a second hash similarity between the second hash value and each target hash value; determining the screen content of the first area according to the first hash similarity; and determining the screen content of the second area according to the second hash similarity.

[0104] Among them, the first hash value may indicate the hash values of the avatars of the virtual characters displayed in the first area, and the second hash value may indicate the hash values of the avatars of the virtual characters displayed in the second area. The hash value of the avatar of a virtual character is related to the pixel values of the avatar of the virtual character, and can characterize the image features of the avatar of the virtual character.

[0105] Further, in some embodiments, calculating the first hash value corresponding to the first area and the second hash value corresponding to the second area in the virtual character selection interface may include: calculating, through a hash algorithm, the hash values of the avatars of the virtual characters displayed in the first area and the hash values of the avatars of the virtual characters displayed in the second area in the virtual character selection interface. Among them, the hash algorithms disclosed in the embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: perception hashing (also known as pHash), average hashing (also known as aHash), difference hashing (also known as dHash), etc.

[0106] The following takes the target virtual character as an example for illustration. Among them, the target virtual character may be any virtual character in the first area, and the first hash value may include the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character.

[0107] Compare the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character with the target hash values corresponding to the avatars of each pre-stored virtual character respectively to obtain the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value, and identify the target virtual character according to the first hash similarity.

[0108] In some embodiments, comparing the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character with the target hash values corresponding to the avatars of each pre-stored virtual character respectively to obtain the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value may include: calculating the first Hamming distance between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and the target hash values corresponding to the avatars of each pre-stored virtual character, and obtaining the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value according to the first Hamming distance.

[0109] In some embodiments, obtaining the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value according to the first Hamming distance may include, but is not limited to, the following methods:

[0110] Method 1: Use the first Hamming distance between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value as the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value. Among them, the smaller the value of the first hash similarity, the more similar the first hash value is to the corresponding target hash value. That is, the avatar of the target virtual character is more similar to the avatar of the virtual character corresponding to the target hash value.

[0111] Further, in some embodiments, identifying the target virtual character according to the first hash similarity may include: obtaining the first hash similarities less than the first similarity threshold in the first hash similarities corresponding to the target virtual character, and using the avatar of the virtual character corresponding to the target hash value corresponding to the first hash similarity as the avatar of the target virtual character.

[0112] Method 2: Calculate the first difference between the number of characters of the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and the first Hamming distance between each target hash value, and use the result of dividing each first difference by the number of characters as the first hash similarity between the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character and each target hash value. Among them, the larger the value of the first hash similarity, the more similar the first hash value corresponding to the target virtual character is to the corresponding target hash value. That is, the avatar of the target virtual character is more similar to the avatar of the virtual character corresponding to the target hash value. Here, the number of characters can indicate the number of characters corresponding to the hash value (including the first hash value or the target hash value).

[0113] Further, in some embodiments, identifying the target virtual character according to the first hash similarity may include: obtaining the first hash similarities greater than the second similarity threshold in the first hash similarities corresponding to the target virtual character, and using the avatar of the virtual character corresponding to the target hash value corresponding to the first hash similarity as the avatar of the target virtual character. Among them, the second similarity threshold is greater than the first similarity threshold.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first similarity threshold and / or the second similarity threshold may be determined according to the second Hamming distance between the target hash values corresponding to every two virtual character avatars stored in advance.

[0115] Among them, determining the first similarity threshold according to each second Hamming distance may include: determining the first similarity threshold according to the smallest second Hamming distance among each second Hamming distance.

[0116] Among them, determining the second similarity threshold according to each second Hamming distance may include: respectively calculating the second difference between the target hash value corresponding to every two virtual character avatars and the corresponding second Hamming distance, and using the result of dividing the first difference by the number of characters as the similarity between every two virtual character avatars, and determining the second similarity threshold according to the maximum similarity.

[0117] Exemplarily, the following takes the first similarity threshold as an example for illustration: If the target game corresponds to 101 virtual characters for the user to select, and each virtual character corresponds to a target hash value, at this time, 101 * 50 second Hamming distances are obtained; if the minimum value among the 101 * 50 second Hamming distances is 16, then the first similarity threshold can be determined according to this minimum value of 16. For example, in order to reduce the interference caused by information such as image clarity, the first similarity threshold can be a value slightly higher than 16, such as 18.

[0118] It should be noted that for the recognition of virtual characters in the second region, please refer to the target virtual character recognition, which will not be elaborated here.

[0119] In some embodiments, the screen content of the first region may include the avatars of the virtual characters newly selected by the player in the first region, and the screen content of the second region may include the avatars of the virtual characters newly selected by the player in the second region.

[0120] 204. When it is recognized that the first region contains virtual character elements of at least one first virtual character, determine a first recommended virtual character according to the at least one first virtual character, and display the character information of the first recommended virtual character; or, when it is recognized that the second region contains virtual character elements of at least one second virtual character, determine a second recommended virtual character according to the at least one second virtual character, and display the character information of the second recommended virtual character.

[0121] In some embodiments, determining the first recommended virtual character according to at least one first virtual character may include, but is not limited to, the following methods:

[0122] Method 1: In the pre-established character partner library, search for the first recommended virtual character corresponding to each first virtual character among the at least one first virtual character; wherein, there is a matching relationship between each first virtual character and the first recommended virtual character corresponding to the first virtual character. Among them, the pre-established character partner library may store the character identifiers of each virtual character of the target game, and the character identifiers of the virtual characters having a partner relationship with each virtual character.

[0123] In some embodiments, the character partner library may be stored locally in the terminal device or in a cloud server communicatively connected to the terminal device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, the character partner library may be obtained by the terminal device independently collecting, or may be provided by the game operator, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0124] In some embodiments, after finding, from a pre-established partner library of virtual characters, the first recommended virtual character corresponding to each first virtual character among at least one first virtual character, the following steps may further be performed: obtaining a target user corresponding to the next character selection period of one's own team, and obtaining the virtual character corresponding to the target user.

[0125] Further, in some embodiments, displaying the character information of the first recommended virtual character may include: if the first recommended virtual character includes the virtual character corresponding to the target user, then in the next character selection period, displaying the character information of the virtual character corresponding to the target user included in the first recommended virtual character. Wherein, the target user may be the user of the terminal device or a teammate of the user of the terminal device. The virtual character corresponding to the target user may include the virtual character that the target user is good at.

[0126] Exemplarily, the first virtual character is virtual character a, and the virtual characters having a partner relationship with virtual character a include virtual character c and virtual character e. If the virtual character that the player corresponding to virtual character a is good at includes virtual character c, then the character information of the first recommended virtual character output includes virtual character c.

[0127] Method 2: Obtaining the first task attribute corresponding to each first virtual character; determining the second task attribute according to the first task attribute and the task matching relationship; and using the virtual character corresponding to the second task attribute as the first recommended virtual character.

[0128] In some embodiments, the task attributes of virtual characters of different character categories in the target game are different. Exemplarily, all the virtual characters corresponding to the target game are divided into category A, category B, category C, category D, category E, and category F. Among them, the virtual characters in category A correspond to the task attribute O, the virtual characters in category B correspond to the task attribute P, the virtual characters in category C correspond to the task attribute Q, the virtual characters in category D correspond to the task attribute R, the virtual characters in category E correspond to the task attribute S, and the virtual characters in category F correspond to the task attribute T.

[0129] Further, obtaining the first task attribute corresponding to each first virtual character may include: obtaining the target character category corresponding to each first virtual character, and using the task attribute corresponding to the target character category as the first task attribute of the first virtual character.

[0130] In the embodiments of the present application, there are at least two task attributes with a task matching relationship among the task attributes corresponding to the target game. Exemplarily, the virtual character corresponding to the task attribute O needs the virtual character corresponding to the task attribute P to assist in order to exert the maximum energy; the first virtual character is virtual character a, the task attribute corresponding to virtual character a is O, and the task attribute corresponding to virtual character e is P, then the character information of the first recommended virtual character output includes the character information of virtual character e.

[0131] In some embodiments, determining a second recommended virtual character according to at least one second virtual character may include: looking up, in a pre-established character restraint library, the second recommended virtual character corresponding to each second virtual character among the at least one second virtual character; wherein, there is a restraint relationship between each second virtual character and the second recommended virtual character corresponding to each second virtual character. Among them, the pre-established character partner library may store the character identifiers of each virtual character in the target game and the character identifiers of the virtual characters having a restraint relationship with each virtual character.

[0132] For the description of the character restraint library, please refer to the description of the character partner library, which will not be elaborated here.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second recommended virtual character may further include a virtual character having a partner relationship with at least one second virtual character. Among them, the virtual character having a partner relationship with at least one second virtual character may be looked up from a pre-established character partner library. For the acquisition method of the virtual character having a partner relationship with at least one second virtual character, please refer to the acquisition method of the first recommended virtual character, which will not be elaborated here.

[0134] Exemplarily, if the second virtual character is virtual character b and the virtual characters having a partner relationship with virtual character b include virtual character f, the character information of the output second recommended virtual character includes virtual character f.

[0135] By implementing the above method, when a player selects a virtual character, the virtual character selection situation of the player's own team / opponent team can be determined by recognizing the virtual character selection interface of the game, and then according to the virtual character selection situation of the player's own team / opponent team, the recommended virtual character corresponding to the player's own team can be obtained, and finally the character information of the recommended virtual character is displayed for the player to refer to. On the one hand, the function of automatically recommending virtual characters when the player selects virtual characters is realized, so that the player's selection of game characters is not limited to their own experience, greatly improving the player's gaming experience. On the other hand, this game character recommendation function is completely realized by the terminal device itself and is applicable to any MOBA, with strong universality. Further, since there is a matching relationship between the first recommended virtual character and the virtual characters already selected by the player's own team, and the second recommended virtual character has a restraint relationship with the game characters already selected by the opponent team, when the player uses the first recommended virtual character and / or the second recommended virtual character, the winning rate of the game team where the player is located is relatively high, further improving the player's gaming experience. On the other hand, when the player disables a virtual character, the recommended virtual character for disabling can also be automatically recommended, further improving the player's gaming experience.
