[0040] Step S200, the first terminal device responds to the sharing operation of the virtual weather special effect corresponding to the virtual weather theme area, and sends a sharing request to a second terminal device corresponding to a second virtual character that has an association relationship with the first virtual character within the virtual weather theme area, wherein the real geographical location of the first terminal device corresponding to the first virtual character is within the real geographical area corresponding to the virtual weather theme area;

[0041] Step S300: after the second terminal device sends a feedback to the first terminal device that the sharing request is accepted, the role attributes of the second virtual role are updated.

[0042] In order to explain the technical principle of this specific embodiment more clearly, Figure 1 The explanation of the various steps shown can be combined with Figures 2 to 3 Reference is made to the appropriate drawings in the Figures 2 to 3 It is used to illustrate Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a scenario showing the principle of a specific implementation method.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the first virtual map area and the second virtual map area refer to virtual maps of map areas corresponding to the real geographical location of the user displayed virtually. The first virtual map area and the second virtual map area can be triggered to display by the users of the first terminal device and the second terminal device performing corresponding operations. For example, after the user opens an LBS-based service (such as My Block, etc.), the corresponding virtual map area will be displayed in the graphical user interface of the terminal device. The virtual characters of the current online users of the application or game in the real geographical area corresponding to the virtual map area are also randomly displayed in the virtual map area. The user can view the information of other virtual characters displayed in the virtual map area or interact with them.

[0044] In the disclosure, the first virtual character is a virtual character corresponding to the first terminal device, and the second virtual character is a virtual character corresponding to the second terminal device. The real geographical location of the first terminal device corresponding to the first virtual character is within the real geographical area corresponding to the virtual weather theme area.

[0045] In step S100, a virtual weather theme area corresponding to the virtual weather theme is provided in the first virtual map area, and virtual weather special effects corresponding to the virtual weather theme are displayed in the virtual weather theme area. That is, the virtual weather theme is displayed in the first virtual map area, and a virtual weather theme area corresponding to the virtual weather theme is provided, and virtual weather special effects corresponding to the virtual weather theme are displayed in the virtual weather theme area, so as to enrich the functions of the online game based on LBS.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, virtual weather themes include sunny, rainy, snowy and other weather themes. Different virtual weather themes correspond to different virtual weather effects. For example, a snowy theme corresponds to a snowy effect, so as to further enrich the functions of LBS-based online games.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, providing a virtual weather theme area corresponding to a virtual weather theme in the first virtual map area includes:

[0048] Obtaining geographic location information of the first terminal device;

[0049] Obtain location range information of a virtual weather theme area corresponding to a virtual weather theme;

[0050] It is determined whether the first terminal device is located in the virtual weather theme area according to the geographic location information and the location range information. If so, a virtual weather theme area corresponding to the virtual weather theme is provided in the first virtual map area displayed by the first terminal device.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation of the first virtual map area and virtual weather theme according to the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual weather theme is snowing, and the snowing theme is displayed in the first virtual map area. A virtual weather theme area corresponding to the virtual weather theme is provided in the first virtual map area, for example, Figure 2 The circular area pointed by the middle arrow displays a snow effect in the virtual weather theme area. Optionally, the virtual weather theme area can also be other regular areas or irregular areas other than the circular area. For example, the virtual weather theme area can be a regular square area, or a regular polygon area, or an irregular area containing a certain display area, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0052] In step S200, the first terminal device responds to the sharing operation of the virtual weather special effects corresponding to the virtual weather theme area, and sends a sharing request to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character that has an association relationship with the first virtual character in the virtual weather theme area, wherein the real geographical location of the first terminal device corresponding to the first virtual character is within the real geographical area corresponding to the virtual weather theme area. That is, the virtual character in the virtual weather theme area can share the virtual weather special effects with other virtual characters that have an association relationship with it. For example, the association relationship at least includes a friend relationship, that is, the first virtual character can share the virtual weather with a game friend, that is, the second virtual character, to improve the convenience of the first virtual character sharing the virtual weather special effects. The association relationship may also include other association relationships in addition to the above-mentioned friend relationship. For example, there may be a game team composed of multiple virtual characters that meet specific requirements in the game, and the association relationship may include being in the same game team, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the real geographical location of the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character is outside the real geographical area corresponding to the virtual weather theme area.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a special effect sharing control is provided in the first virtual map area, and step S200 may specifically be: the first terminal device responds to the sharing operation for the special effect sharing control, and sends a sharing request for the virtual weather special effect corresponding to the virtual weather theme area to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character associated with the first virtual character in the virtual weather theme area. As an example, please refer to Figure 2 The virtual special effect sharing control is, for example, a control similar to a plus sign displayed in the first virtual map area. In response to the user's operation on the control, the first terminal device sends a sharing request for the virtual weather special effect corresponding to the virtual weather theme area to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character associated with the first virtual character in the virtual weather theme area. The virtual weather special effect is shared through the special effect sharing control to further improve the convenience of sharing the virtual weather special effect.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S200 may also include: the first terminal device responds to the sharing operation for the special effect sharing control, and displays at least one virtual character associated with the first virtual character on the graphical user interface of the first terminal device; in response to the selection operation of the second virtual character on the first terminal device, the second virtual character is determined from at least one virtual character, and the sharing request of the virtual weather special effect corresponding to the virtual weather theme area is sent to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character. Wherein, when the first terminal device is a touch terminal, the selection operation may include a variety of touch operations such as clicking, double-clicking or sliding. For example, one or more second virtual characters are selected by single-clicking or double-clicking, or the virtual character through which the sliding track passes is selected as the second virtual character, etc. The selection operation may also be an operation of clicking a virtual character, etc., in a terminal game application scenario, by an external device such as a mouse, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, step S200 may further include: when displaying at least one virtual character associated with the first virtual character on the graphical user interface of the first terminal device, also displaying identification information of the at least one virtual character, the identification information indicating whether the virtual weather effect has been shared with the virtual character. The identification information may be identified or displayed in the form of text, symbols, colors, etc.

[0057] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation of displaying a virtual character associated with a first virtual character according to the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, examples of multiple virtual characters associated with the first virtual character are shown, and whether the first virtual character virtual weather effect has been shared with the virtual character is indicated by sharing and shared identification information. "Shared" means that the virtual weather effect of the first virtual character has been shared with the corresponding virtual character, and "Share" means that the virtual weather effect of the first virtual character has not been shared with the corresponding virtual character. At this time, by clicking "Share", a virtual weather effect sharing request can be sent to the corresponding virtual character.

[0058] In step S300, after the second terminal device feeds back to the first terminal device that it accepts the sharing request, the character attributes of the second virtual character are updated. That is, after the second virtual character corresponding to the second terminal device accepts the virtual weather sharing request issued by the first virtual character, the character attributes of the second virtual character are updated, wherein the updated character attributes are conducive to the second virtual character completing a specific game task. In other words, when the second virtual character corresponding to the second terminal device accepts the virtual weather sharing request issued by the first virtual character, the character attributes of the second virtual character will change, for example, the character attributes may be enhanced or the character attribute category may change. In this way, since the character attributes of the second virtual character will be changed after accepting the virtual weather sharing request, the interactivity between virtual characters can be improved, and the game interaction experience of the user can be improved. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the character attributes of the virtual character may be the character attributes of the virtual character in the virtual map area, such as the level attributes of the virtual character. The character attributes of the virtual character may also be the character attributes of other scenes in the game, such as the attributes of other scenes of the virtual character in the game, for example, for a battle game, the character attributes may be the attack power or attack special effects of the virtual character in the battle.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, while the second terminal device updates the character attributes of the second virtual character, the character attributes of the first virtual character are updated on the first terminal device. That is, when the second virtual character corresponding to the second terminal device accepts the virtual weather sharing request sent by the first virtual character, the character attributes of the first virtual character and the second virtual character are updated at the same time. In this way, since the character attributes of the first virtual character and the second virtual character are changed after accepting the virtual weather sharing request, the interactivity between the virtual characters can be further improved, and the game interaction experience of the user can be further improved.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution subject of updating the role attributes of the virtual character may be a server or a terminal. For example, the server or the first terminal is configured to update the role attributes of the first virtual character. The server or the second terminal is configured to update the role attributes of the second virtual character.

[0061] In addition, in an optional embodiment, the information processing method in the game further includes:

[0062] The character attributes of each virtual character in the virtual weather theme area are updated in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device. That is, each virtual character in the virtual weather theme area can obtain attribute updates synchronously to improve the interactivity between different virtual characters. Furthermore, the attribute deviation of the updated character attributes of each virtual character in the virtual weather theme area is the same as the attribute deviation of the character attributes before the update, so as to further improve the interactivity between different virtual characters and improve the game interaction experience of the user.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the attribute deviation between the character attributes of the first virtual character after the update and the character attributes before the update is the same as the attribute deviation between the character attributes of the second virtual character after the update and the character attributes before the update, wherein the attribute deviation reflects the gain of the character attributes of the first virtual character or the second virtual character. That is, the attributes of the first virtual character and the second virtual character keep changing synchronously, so that the first virtual character and the second virtual character can obtain character attribute gains at the same time, for example, obtain a certain gain addition at the same time. Thereby further improving the interactivity between virtual characters and further improving the game interaction experience of users.

[0064] In the present disclosure, in order to further enhance the user experience in the virtual map area, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may also include: updating the size and / or position of the virtual weather theme area in the first virtual map area on the first terminal device at intervals of a first set time; updating the theme mode of the virtual weather theme in the first virtual map area on the first terminal device at intervals of a second set time. In this way, the main mode of the virtual theme and the size and / or position of the virtual weather theme area can be randomly changed, thereby further enriching the functions of the LBS-based online game, further improving the user's game interaction experience in the virtual map area, and enabling each user to experience virtual weather special effects and character attribute gains.

[0065] In the present disclosure, the first set time length and the second set time length may be the same or different. As an example, the first set time length and the second set time length are the same, for example, 8 hours. As another example, the first set time length and the second set time length are different, for example, when the first set time length is 4, the second set time length is 12 hours.

[0066] As an example, in the present disclosure, the virtual weather theme area can be randomly selected in regional units of the service area provided by the game. For example, m points can be refreshed every first set time period in units of prefecture-level cities, and then a circular area with a diameter of q is drawn with the m points as the center as the virtual weather theme area. The values ​​of m and q can be configured and adjusted according to different prefecture-level cities and project requirements. After the virtual weather theme area is updated, the first terminal device updates the size and / or position of the virtual weather theme area in the first virtual map area according to the update of the virtual weather theme area in its corresponding real geographical location area.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may further include: displaying the remaining time of the current virtual weather theme in the first virtual map area; and / or displaying the remaining time of the current virtual weather theme on the character image of the first virtual character in the first virtual map area. Figure 2 , which shows an example of the remaining time display position and display method of the current virtual weather theme. This can remind the user when the current virtual weather theme ends, so that after the current virtual weather theme ends, the user can check the updated virtual weather theme in time and share the virtual weather effects.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may further include: displaying the character image of the virtual character in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device as a virtual weather character image corresponding to the virtual weather theme. That is, in the virtual map area, the corresponding type of virtual character image is displayed according to the current virtual weather theme. Please refer to Figure 2 For example, if the current virtual weather theme is snowing, the character image of the virtual character displayed in the virtual map area is a snowman. For another example, if the current virtual weather theme is sunny, the character image of the virtual character displayed in the virtual map area is a sunny doll, etc.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may further include: after the second terminal device feeds back to the first terminal device that it accepts the sharing request, displaying the character identification of the second virtual character in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device. That is, the second virtual character that has accepted the sharing request is prompted in the first virtual map area where the first virtual character is located. The character identification may be a number, an avatar, a symbol, etc., which is used to identify the second virtual character. Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows an example of displaying the character identification of the second virtual character in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device. The avatar displayed on the left side of the plus sign in the figure is the avatar of the virtual character that has accepted the sharing of virtual weather effects.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may further include: in response to the zoom operation on the first virtual map area, the first virtual map area and the virtual weather theme area therein are synchronously zoomed on the first terminal device; wherein, in the process of synchronously zooming the first virtual map area and the virtual weather theme area therein, the display size of the virtual character in the first virtual map area is kept unchanged. That is, in the present disclosure, the user can view the virtual characters and virtual weather theme areas in other areas by zooming in and out of the first map scene, so as to improve the flexibility of the display adjustment of the virtual map area and the virtual weather theme area.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may also include: in response to the reset operation of the first virtual map area on the first terminal device, adjusting the display position of the first virtual map area and the virtual weather theme area on the graphical user interface to control the display position of the first virtual character in the virtual weather theme area on the graphical user interface to be located at a preset position on the graphical user interface. The preset position is, for example, the center position of the first virtual map area. Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows an example of resetting controls in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device. The control similar to a double circle shown on the left side of the figure is an example of a reset control.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the information processing method in the game provided by the present disclosure may also include: in response to the update operation of the virtual character in the virtual weather theme area, displaying the updated virtual character in the virtual weather theme area on the first terminal device; wherein the real geographical location of the first terminal device corresponding to the updated virtual character is within the real geographical location range corresponding to the virtual weather theme area. Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows an example of a character refresh control in the first virtual map area of ​​the first terminal device, and the arc-like control shown on the left side of the figure is an example of a character refresh control. In this way, the user can update the currently displayed virtual character to view more other virtual characters in the virtual weather theme area or the first virtual map area.

[0073] In the present disclosure, in order to further enhance the user's gaming experience, after the second terminal device feeds back to the first terminal device an acceptance of the sharing request, a virtual weather effect can also be displayed within a predetermined range of the second virtual character to further enhance the interactivity between the virtual characters and further enhance the user's gaming interactive experience.
