Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer, in particular, to an environmental audio playing method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a virtual scene, a real scene experience or a game atmosphere is often created by playing environmental audio. In the related art, when a player enters a virtual scene, an audio engine plays environmental audio that is pre-set. However, the method of playing environmental audio provided in the related art, when the player stays in the virtual scene for a long time, the player can obviously feel that the played environmental audio is repetitive and single, thereby reducing the game experience of the player. SUMMARY

[0003] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, which are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter's scope.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides an environmental audio playing method, comprising:

[0005] acquiring a first audio and a second audio from pre-set environmental audio, wherein the first audio is a sound with a persistent characteristic in the environmental audio, and the second audio is a sound with a transient characteristic in the environmental audio;

[0006] in response to an instruction of playing environmental audio in a virtual scene, playing the first audio, and randomly playing the second audio in the process of playing the first audio, so that the first audio and the second audio cooperate to form environmental audio of the virtual scene.

[0007] In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides an environmental audio playing device, comprising:

[0008] an acquisition module configured to acquire a first audio and a second audio from pre-set environmental audio, wherein the first audio is a sound with a persistent characteristic in the environmental audio, and the second audio is a sound with a transient characteristic in the environmental audio;

[0009] a playing module configured to, in response to an instruction of playing environmental audio in a virtual scene, play the first audio, and randomly play the second audio in the process of playing the first audio, so that the first audio and the second audio cooperate to form environmental audio of the virtual scene.

[0010] In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a processing apparatus, implements the steps of the method of the first aspect.

[0022] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be interpreted in a limited sense as set forth in the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, the embodiments are provided to more completely understand the present disclosure. It is understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0023] It should be understood that each step described in the method embodiments of the present disclosure can be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. In addition, the method embodiments can include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the present disclosure are merely used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not intended to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "one", "multiple" in the present disclosure are illustrative and not restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that "one" or "multiple" should be understood as "one or more" unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the context.

[0027] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely used for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the scope of the messages or information.

[0028] In the related art, when a player enters a virtual scene, an audio engine plays a pre-set environmental audio. The set environmental audio is often an audio of about 30 seconds, and the audio engine plays the environmental audio by looping to create a game atmosphere. For example, when the weather in the virtual scene is "thunderstorm weather", the audio engine plays "thunderstorm sound" to create a weather atmosphere. For "thunderstorm sound", since the audio engine always loops the "thunderstorm sound", the player will hear the "thunder sound" at the same position every time the loop period is played.

[0029] Obviously, the method of playing environmental audio in the related art causes the players to feel the environmental sound with obvious cycle characteristics in the hearing, which greatly destroys the reality and immersion of the game.

[0030] To solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides an environmental audio playing method, which acquires a first audio with persistence characteristics and a second audio with instantaneous characteristics from preset environmental audio, and plays the second audio randomly in the process of playing the first audio, so as to form the environmental audio of the virtual scene by cooperation of the first audio and the second audio. Since the first audio is the sound with persistence characteristics in the environmental audio and the second audio is the sound with instantaneous characteristics in the environmental audio, the players will not feel the repetition in the hearing in the process of playing the first audio repeatedly, thereby creating a real game atmosphere.

[0031] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an environmental audio playing method according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 1 The present disclosure provides an environmental audio playing method, which can be executed by an electronic device, specifically, by an environmental audio playing apparatus, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and configured in the electronic device. As shown in Figure 1 The method can include the following steps.

[0032] In step 110, a first audio and a second audio are acquired from preset environmental audio, wherein the first audio is a sound with persistence characteristics in the environmental audio, and the second audio is a sound with instantaneous characteristics in the environmental audio.

[0033] Here, the preset environmental audio can include natural environmental audio, humanistic environmental audio, and magical environmental audio, etc. The natural environmental audio includes various sounds in nature, such as wind sound, rain sound, bird sound, thunder sound, etc. Different seasons, regions, and weather can be represented by the natural environmental audio, so that the game world can be more natural. The humanistic environmental audio can include environmental sounds produced by human civilization, such as traffic sound, calling sound, speaking sound, etc. The magical environmental audio can include sounds for creating a magical scene, such as wind sound with large reverberation to highlight the feeling of emptiness when the game player appears in the scene of the heavenly palace. It should be understood that in the present disclosure, the environmental audio can be all game sound effects for creating an environmental atmosphere. For different virtual scenes, the preset environmental audio corresponding to the virtual scene can be matched.

[0034] The electronic device obtains the first audio and the second audio from a preset environmental audio when obtaining an instruction to play the environmental audio in the virtual scene. The preset environmental audio can be a pre-recorded audio, for example, a "thunderstorm" audio with a time length of 30 seconds. Of course, the preset environmental audio can also be composed of at least two sub-audios, for example, including a "rain" sub-audio segment with a time length of 30 seconds and at least one "thunder" sub-audio segment. It should be understood that the sub-audio segment can be recorded separately or extracted from a preset environmental audio, for example, "rain" and "thunder" are extracted from "thunderstorm".

[0035] In some embodiments, obtaining the first audio and the second audio from the preset environmental audio can be obtaining the stored first audio and the second audio from a database, wherein the database stores the first audio and the second audio matching the scene type of the virtual scene.

[0036] In other embodiments, obtaining the first audio and the second audio from the preset environmental audio can be obtaining the preset environmental audio from a database and extracting the first audio and the second audio from the obtained preset environmental audio.

[0037] It is worth noting that the first audio and the second audio constitute a complete environmental audio, regardless of the way the first audio and the second audio are obtained. The first audio is a sound with a persistent characteristic in the environmental audio. The sound with a persistent characteristic represents a sound continuously emitted by the same sound source in the environmental audio, which is equivalent to the background noise in the environmental audio. In the hearing of the game player, the sound with a persistent characteristic is a sound with a repetitive characteristic and no obvious distinguishing point in the environmental audio. For example, the persistent "rain" in the environmental audio "thunderstorm" is the first audio in the environmental audio, the persistent "car sound" in the environmental audio "car flow" is the first audio in the environmental audio, and the persistent "water sound" in the environmental audio "streaming water" is the first audio in the environmental audio.

[0038] The second audio is a sound with a transient characteristic in the environmental audio. The sound with a transient characteristic represents a sound triggered instantaneously by a sound source or a sound with a duration less than a preset time threshold in the environmental audio. In the hearing of the game player, the sound with a transient characteristic is a sound with randomness and an obvious trigger point in the environmental audio. For example, the occasional "thunder" in the environmental audio "thunderstorm" is the second audio in the environmental audio, the occasional "horn sound" in the environmental audio "car flow" is the second audio in the environmental audio, and the occasional "bird chirping sound" in the environmental audio "streaming water" is the second audio in the environmental audio.

[0039] In step 120, in response to the instruction of playing environmental audio in the virtual scene, the first audio is played, and in the process of playing the first audio, the second audio is randomly played to make the first audio and the second audio cooperate to form the environmental audio of the virtual scene.

[0040] Here, the instruction of playing environmental audio in the virtual scene can be triggered when a game player enters the virtual scene, or triggered when the content in the virtual scene changes. For example, when the weather in the game changes, the instruction of playing environmental audio can be triggered. The virtual scene can be a game scene, a virtual reality scene, etc.

[0041] The electronic device can loop play the first audio through the audio engine. It should be understood that since the first audio is a sound with a persistent feature in the environmental audio, there is no obvious trigger point in the hearing of the game player, and even if the first audio is loop played, it will not attract the attention of the player. For example, the audio engine loops plays "rain sound" when the weather in the virtual scene changes to a thunderstorm. And in the process of playing the first audio, the audio engine randomly plays the second audio, so that the first audio and the second audio can cooperate to form complete environmental audio. For example, the audio engine randomly triggers the playing of "thunder sound" in the process of looping playing "rain sound", and "rain sound" and "thunder sound" cooperate to form the environmental audio of "thunder and rain sound", thereby creating a thunderstorm atmosphere in the virtual scene.

[0042] It is worth noting that since the second audio is a sound with a transient feature, the sound with an obvious trigger point can be heard in the hearing of the game player. By randomly playing the second audio, the environmental audio formed by the cooperation of the first audio and the second audio is also a random environmental audio.

[0043] In addition, when the number of second audios is multiple, the audio engine can randomly select one second audio from the multiple second audios, and play the selected second audio.

[0044] Therefore, by playing the first audio with a persistent feature and randomly playing the second audio with a transient feature in the process of playing the first audio, the first audio and the second audio cooperate to form the environmental audio of the virtual scene. Since the first audio is a sound with a persistent feature in the environmental audio and the second audio is a sound with a transient feature in the environmental audio, in the process of looping playing the first audio, by randomly triggering the playing of the second audio, the environmental audio formed will not have a repeated feeling in the hearing of the game player, thereby creating a real game atmosphere and improving the experience of the game player.

[0045] Figure 2 is Figure 1 the detailed flowchart of step 120 is shown. As Figure 2 As shown in some implementable embodiments, in step 120, playing the second audio randomly during playing the first audio can include the following steps.

[0046] In step 121, it is determined whether the current audio progress of the first audio is a target audio position during playing the first audio.

[0047] Here, the electronic device can periodically determine whether the current audio progress of the first audio is a target audio position during playing the first audio by the audio engine. The target audio position represents triggering playing the second audio when the audio engine plays to the target audio position of the first audio. Of course, when the period is small enough, the electronic device can determine whether the current audio progress of the first audio played by the audio engine can trigger playing the second audio at any time during playing the first audio by the audio engine. The current audio progress refers to the current playing progress of the first audio.

[0048] As some examples, in the case that the current audio progress is a preset audio position, a triggering probability at the preset audio position is determined, and in the case that a triggering result calculated according to the triggering probability is a preset result, it is determined that the current audio progress is the target audio position.

[0049] Here, one or more preset audio positions can be set in the first audio. When the first audio plays to a preset audio position, the triggering probability is calculated once, and then the triggering result is calculated according to the triggering probability. The triggering result can include “trigger” and “not trigger”. When the triggering result is “trigger”, it is determined that the current audio progress is the target audio position. When the triggering result is “not trigger”, it is determined that the current audio progress is not the target audio position.

[0050] It should be understood that the size of the triggering probability determines the size of the probability of the triggering result being the preset result. For example, when the triggering probability is 90%, the probability of the triggering result being the preset result is 90%, and the probability of the triggering result not being the preset result is 10%.

[0051] The triggering probability can be calculated by a probability function. It is worth noting that the triggering probability calculated each time can be random. Of course, the size of the triggering probability can also be determined according to a virtual scene.

[0052] Exemplarily, the probability function can be constructed according to a game picture of the virtual scene, and then the trigger probability is calculated through the probability function. The size of the trigger probability calculated by the probability function is positively correlated with the degree of the requirement of triggering the second audio in the game picture. For example, when the thunderstorm weather in the game picture gradually strengthens, the more "thunder" that needs to be triggered, the greater the trigger probability calculated by the probability function, so that the current audio progress of the first audio can trigger the playing of the second audio with a greater probability. When the thunderstorm weather in the game picture gradually weakens, the less "thunder" that needs to be triggered, the smaller the trigger probability calculated by the probability function, so that the current audio progress of the first audio can trigger the playing of the second audio with a smaller probability.

[0053] It should be understood that, by determining the size of the trigger probability according to the virtual scene, the environmental sound effect of the virtual scene can be made to be more consistent with the real situation of the virtual scene, so as to provide a real game atmosphere. For example, when the thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene gradually strengthens, more "thunder" is played, and when the thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene gradually weakens, less "thunder" is played, thereby simulating real thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene.

[0054] As other examples, a random duration can be determined, and the current audio progress is determined to be the target audio position in a case that the current audio progress and the audio position at which the second audio is last triggered to play are separated by the random duration.

[0055] Here, the random duration can be calculated by a random algorithm, and each time the random duration calculated is uncertain. If the current audio progress and the audio position at which the second audio is last triggered to play are separated by the random duration, the current audio progress is determined to be the target audio position, and the second audio is triggered to play. For example, the random duration is 3 seconds, and the audio position at which the second audio is last played is 5 seconds, so the second audio is triggered to play when the first audio is played to 8 seconds.

[0056] It is worth noting that when the audio engine starts playing the first audio, a first random duration can be calculated, when a first current audio progress of the first audio and a starting point of the first audio are separated by the first random duration, the first current audio progress is determined to be the target audio position, the second audio is played, and a second random duration is calculated, when a second current audio progress of the first audio and the first current audio progress are separated by the second random duration, the second current audio progress is determined to be the target audio position, and the second audio is played again.

[0057] Since the second audio is triggered randomly in the time dimension, the environmental audio formed by the cooperation of the first audio and the second audio also has randomness, and even if the environmental audio is played in a loop, the game player will not feel a sense of repetition in the hearing.

[0058] It should be understood that the audio engine recalculates the random duration each time the second audio is played, and each time the random duration is calculated differently.

[0059] Exemplarily, a random algorithm can be constructed according to the game picture of the virtual scene, and then the random duration is calculated through the random algorithm. The random duration calculated by the random algorithm is negatively correlated with the degree of demand for triggering the second audio in the game picture. For example, when the thunderstorm weather in the game picture gradually strengthens, the more “thunder” needs to be triggered, the smaller the random duration calculated by the random algorithm, so that the current audio progress of the first audio can trigger the playing of the second audio with a larger probability. When the thunderstorm weather in the game picture gradually weakens, the less “thunder” needs to be triggered, the larger the random duration calculated by the random algorithm, so that the current audio progress of the first audio can trigger the playing of the second audio with a smaller probability.

[0060] It should be understood that by determining the size of the random duration according to the virtual scene, the environmental sound effect of the virtual scene can be more consistent with the real situation of the virtual scene to provide a real game atmosphere. For example, when the thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene gradually strengthens, the audio engine plays “thunder” more frequently, and when the thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene gradually weakens, the audio engine plays “thunder” less frequently, thereby simulating real thunderstorm weather in the virtual scene.

[0061] In step 122, the second audio is played when the current audio progress is the target audio position.

[0062] Here, when the electronic device determines that the current audio progress of the first audio played by the audio engine is the target audio position, it is determined to trigger the playing of the second audio, and the second audio is triggered to be played at the current audio progress.

[0063] Thus, in the process of playing the first audio, by judging whether the current audio progress of the first audio played is the target audio position for triggering the playing of the second audio, if it is the target audio position, the playing of the second audio is triggered, so that the playing of the second audio can be triggered randomly in the process of playing the first audio. Thus, the environmental sound effect in the virtual scene will not be felt by the game player, thereby creating a real game atmosphere and improving the experience of the game player.

[0064] Figure 3 is Figure 2 a detailed flowchart of step 122. As Figure 3 shown in some implementable embodiments, step 122, in which the second audio is played when the current audio progress is the target audio position, includes the following steps.

[0065] In step 1221, in a case where it is determined that the current audio progress is the target audio position, a target playing position is determined in the virtual scene.

[0066] Here, after determining that the current audio progress is the target audio position, the electronic device determines a target playing position in the virtual scene. The target playing position refers to a position at which the second audio is played in the virtual scene. It should be understood that the target playing position can be a position of a sound source that triggers playing of the second audio in the virtual scene. For example, when the second audio is "thunder", the target playing position can be a position of "lightning" in the virtual scene; when the second audio is "bird chirping", the target playing position can be a position of "bird" in the virtual scene. Of course, the target playing position can also be randomly determined in the virtual scene.

[0067] As some examples, a target playing area can be constructed with a preset position of the virtual scene as a center point and with a volume of the second audio as a radius, and a position in the target playing area can be randomly determined as the target playing position.

[0068] Here, the preset position of the virtual scene can be a center point of a game screen or a position of a sound source. A target playing area similar to a sphere can be constructed with the preset position as a center point and with the volume of the second audio as a radius. The volume of the second audio as a radius refers to a propagation distance of the second audio in the virtual scene as a radius. Then a position in the target playing area can be randomly selected as the target playing position, and the second audio can be played at the target playing position.

[0069] It should be noted that playing the second audio at the target playing position refers to setting a sound emitter of the second audio at the target playing position and controlling the sound emitter to play the second audio.

[0070] It should be understood that by randomly determining a position in the target playing area as the target playing position, the second audio triggered each time can randomly appear at different positions in the virtual scene, that is, the second audio remains random in the spatial dimension, so as to ensure that the environmental sound effect does not feel repetitive in the hearing of the game player.

[0071] For example, when the second audio is "thunder", the position of "thunder" in the virtual scene is random and can appear in the center of the screen, the left side of the screen, and the right side of the screen, and the like. For another example, when the second audio is "mosquito sound", by randomly determining the target playing position in the target playing area, an atmosphere that "mosquito sound" randomly flies around the ear of the game player can be presented.

[0072] As some other examples, one of a plurality of preset scene positions in the virtual scene can be randomly selected as the target playing position.

[0073] Here, a plurality of preset scene positions can be pre-set in the virtual scene. Of course, the preset scene position can also be determined according to the picture elements in the virtual scene. For example, the position of an object in the virtual scene that can emit the second audio is set as a preset scene position. Illustratively, when the virtual scene is a forest scene, the position of a bird existing in the forest scene in the scene can be set as a preset scene position.

[0074] After randomly selecting one preset scene position from the plurality of preset scene positions as a target playing position, the sound emitter of the second audio is set at the target playing position, and the sound emitter is controlled to play the second audio.

[0075] It should be understood that, by randomly selecting one preset scene position from the plurality of preset scene positions as a target playing position, the second audio triggered each time can randomly appear at different positions in the virtual scene, that is, the second audio is random in the spatial dimension, so as to ensure that the environmental sound effect will not feel repetitive in the hearing of the game player.

[0076] In step 1222, the second audio is played at the target playing position.

[0077] Here, playing the second audio at the target playing position refers to setting the sound emitter corresponding to the second audio at the target playing position, and controlling the sound emitter to play the second audio. It should be understood that, when playing the second audio, the audio engine can also spatialize the second audio, so that the propagation of the second audio in the virtual scene can have a sense of reality.

[0078] Thus, by randomly determining the target playing position in the virtual scene, the same second audio will be triggered at different positions in the virtual scene, so that the second audio is random in the spatial dimension, ensuring that the environmental sound effect will not feel repetitive in the hearing of the game player. For example, in the process of playing "rain sound" in a loop, randomly selecting a target playing position in the virtual scene to play "thunder sound" can make the "thunder sound" not fixed at the same position in the virtual scene, so as to weaken the repetitive feeling of the environmental sound effect and improve the game experience of the game player.

[0079] In some implementable embodiments, in step 110, the audio spectrum corresponding to the sound with the persistence characteristic and the sound with the instantaneous characteristic can be determined according to the audio type of the environmental audio, and the environmental audio is subjected to audio separation processing according to the audio spectrum, to obtain the first audio and the second audio.

[0080] Here, the audio type can refer to the attribute or type of the environmental audio, such as "thunderstorm sound", "streaming water sound", and the like.

[0081] The environmental audio of different audio types can be pre-labeled with the first audio spectrum of the sound with the persistence characteristic and the second audio spectrum of the sound with the instantaneous characteristic. For example, for the environmental audio of "thunderstorm sound", the sound spectrum corresponding to the "rain sound" in the "thunderstorm sound" can be pre-labeled as the first audio spectrum of the sound with the persistence characteristic, and the sound spectrum corresponding to the "thunder sound" can be labeled as the second audio spectrum of the sound with the instantaneous characteristic.

[0082] Of course, in other embodiments, the spectrum with continuous similar sound spectrum can be identified as the first audio spectrum from the environmental audio according to the audio type, and the spectrum with instantaneous sound spectrum can be identified as the second audio spectrum from the environmental audio according to the audio type.

[0083] After determining the audio spectrum, the environmental audio is audio separated according to the audio spectrum, so as to extract the first audio and the second audio from the environmental audio. It should be understood that the audio separation is to extract the sound with the first audio spectrum characteristic in the environmental audio to form the first audio, and to extract the sound with the second audio spectrum characteristic in the environmental audio to form the second audio.

[0084] Thus, the first audio and the second audio can be quickly extracted from the environmental audio by the audio spectrum. It is worth mentioning that for storing all pre-recorded environmental audios in the electronic device or the cloud server, the first audio and the second audio can be extracted by the above-mentioned embodiments.
