Detailed Implementation

[0009] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0010] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0011] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "virtual environment" includes, but is not limited to, "VR," "AR," etc. It should be understood that the term "virtual environment" can be either "VR" or "AR," or any combination thereof. In the following description, for ease of description only, the term "virtual environment" is used in embodiments of this disclosure to refer to one or more of "VR" and "AR," or any combination thereof.

[0012] The term "in response to" indicates that a corresponding event has occurred or a condition has been met. It will be understood that the timing of subsequent actions performed in response to this event or condition is not necessarily strongly correlated with the time when the event or condition is met. In some cases, subsequent actions may be performed immediately upon the occurrence of the event or the fulfillment of the condition; in other cases, they may be performed some time after the event or condition has occurred.

[0013] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0014] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure through appropriate means in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0015] In current methods of controlling objects (such as virtual objects in a virtual scene) using a joystick, a threshold is typically set because the joystick generates input within a certain range. Movement of the controlled object (e.g., a change of direction) is only triggered when the joystick input exceeds the threshold.

[0016] If the threshold is set too low, some joystick input may be lost when the user quickly rotates the joystick, resulting in a sluggish joystick control experience. Conversely, if the threshold is set too high, the user may need to input a large value to trigger the movement of the controlled object, thus failing to achieve a smooth, gliding rotation effect. These issues lead to a poor user experience when interacting with the joystick.

[0017] To address the aforementioned and other potential problems, embodiments of this disclosure provide a scheme for interaction in a virtual scene. This scheme determines the offset of a joystick in a preset direction. If the joystick offset exceeds a first threshold, the virtual object is controlled to perform a first action corresponding to the preset direction. The scheme also determines if the joystick offset in the preset direction decreases to less than a second threshold different from the first threshold. If an increase in the joystick offset in the preset direction is detected, the virtual object is controlled to perform a second action corresponding to the preset direction.

[0018] Example embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. The example environment 100 includes a user 102 and an electronic device 110. In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 has an application (hereinafter referred to as a control module) installed and running that supports virtual environments, thereby enabling the presentation of a virtual environment 120 at or from the electronic device 110 to the user 102.

[0020] In some embodiments, the virtual environment 120 is a VR / AR environment. As shown in FIG1, the electronic device 110 of user 102 can be a head-mounted VR / AR device. When user 102 wears the electronic device 110, the virtual environment 120 can be displayed to user 102. This virtual environment can include representations of multiple virtual objects and real objects in the real world. The virtual objects can include virtual representations of real objects in the real world and / or objects that are only applicable to the virtual environment.

[0021] Additionally, user 102 can interact with the virtual environment 120, for example, by manipulating a joystick. In some embodiments, user 102 can control specific objects, such as virtual characters, in the virtual environment 120 by manipulating a physical joystick 140 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a virtual joystick to the user 102, who may control the virtual joystick through other input devices or gestures, thereby enabling interaction with the virtual environment 120.

[0023] It should be understood that both physical and virtual joysticks can generate an offset relative to their initial position, thereby achieving the corresponding control function. For example, a user can control the joystick to shift to the right, causing the virtual character in the virtual environment 120 to turn to the right.

[0024] In some embodiments, the joystick may have a preset offset range in a preset direction. For example, its minimum offset may be 0, and its maximum offset may be set according to user interaction habits or depend on the mechanical characteristics of the physical joystick.

[0025] Electronic device 110 can implement interactive processes in virtual environment 120 based on input received from user 102 via input device. For example, virtual objects presented in virtual environment 120 can perform predetermined actions based on the received input, such as turning and / or displacement.

[0026] In some embodiments, the virtual environment is an AR / VR environment. Within this specific virtual environment, the electronic device 110 can be any type of AR / VR device, including but not limited to mobile terminals, fixed terminals, or portable terminals, such as mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, gaming devices, wearable devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, environment 100 may optionally include remote device 130, and electronic device 110 may communicate with remote device 130. In some embodiments, remote device 130 may be a cloud server.

[0028] It should be understood that remote device 130 may include at least one of one or more servers, cloud computing platforms, and virtualization centers. It should also be understood that in some embodiments, remote device 130 serves as a background service supporting virtual environment applications. In some embodiments, specific processes may be implemented collaboratively by remote device 130 and electronic device 110. For example, in some embodiments, remote device 130 performs the primary computational task, and electronic device 110 performs the secondary computational task. Alternatively, in other embodiments, remote device 130 performs the secondary computational task, and electronic device 110 performs the primary computational task. Alternatively, in some embodiments, specific processes may be implemented independently by remote device 130 or electronic device 110.

[0029] In short, although in some embodiments some operations are described as being implemented by electronic device 110, these operations can be implemented at least partially by remote device 130. Correspondingly, although some operations are described as being implemented by remote device 130, these operations can be implemented at least partially by electronic device 110. For the sake of brevity only, the same or similar descriptions will be omitted.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0031] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. Figures 2 to 4Schematic diagrams illustrating interaction in a virtual scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. For ease of discussion, the following description uses the virtual environment 120 shown in FIG1 as an example. As an example, in conjunction with Figures 2 to 4 The described process can be performed by the electronic device 110 in FIG1. ​​However, this is merely exemplary and does not limit the embodiments of this disclosure in any way.

[0032] For example, user 102 can control virtual input objects in virtual environment 120 by operating physical devices in the real world (such as joystick 140 in Figure 1).

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the joystick 210 in the virtual environment 120 can be controlled in this manner. Once the joystick 210 is offset from the starting position 201 to the position 201-1 in the predetermined direction D, the electronic device 110 determines the offset 202 generated by the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D from its starting position 201.

[0034] If the electronic device 110 detects that the offset 302 exceeds the first threshold 203 in the predetermined direction D, it controls the virtual object (not shown) in the virtual environment 120 to perform a first action corresponding to the predetermined direction D. For example, the electronic device 110 can change the orientation of the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 according to the preset direction D, that is, make the virtual object perform a corresponding turning action.

[0035] After the joystick 210 generates an offset 202, the offset of the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D can change, for example, from position 201-1 to position 201-2, that is, the offset decreases. (Continue referring to...) Figure 2 The electronic device 110 can determine that the offset 205 of the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D, starting from its starting position 201, decreases to less than the second threshold 204.

[0036] In some embodiments, the second threshold 204 may be determined based on a maximum offset of the joystick 210 in a predetermined direction D that exceeds the first threshold 203. In some embodiments, the second threshold 204 may be positively correlated with the maximum offset, for example, proportional to the maximum offset.

[0037] For example, assuming that the offset 202 of the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D exceeding the first threshold 203 is the maximum offset, a second threshold can be determined based on this offset 202. For example, the second threshold 204 can be half of the offset 202.

[0038] After the electronic device 110 determines that the offset 205 of the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D has decreased to less than the second threshold 204, the electronic device 110 can determine the change state of the offset of the joystick 210 in the preset direction D. If the electronic device 110 detects that the offset of the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D has increased from position 210-3, that is, the joystick 210 has increased again from the currently reduced offset 205, the electronic device 110 controls the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 to perform the second action corresponding to the preset direction D.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, if the electronic device 110 detects that the joystick 210 has moved from position 210-3 to position 210-4, that is, from the offset 205 to the offset 206 in the predetermined direction D, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 to perform a second action corresponding to the predetermined direction D.

[0040] For example, the electronic device 110 can change the orientation of the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 according to the preset direction D, that is, make the virtual object perform the corresponding secondary turning action.

[0041] It should be understood that, Figure 3 The offsets shown are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this scheme. For example, the further increased offset could also be less than the second threshold 204. As long as it is determined that the offset continues to increase after decreasing to less than the second threshold, the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 is controlled to perform a second action corresponding to the preset direction D.

[0042] Therefore, once the joystick's offset exceeds the first threshold and decreases to less than the second threshold, the virtual object's movement can be controlled without the joystick's offset exceeding the first threshold again, providing users with a more responsive operating experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine a third threshold based on the joystick 210 increasing again from a reduced offset 205 to have an offset in a predetermined direction D. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the third threshold 208 can be determined by increasing the joystick 210 from the offset 205 to an offset 206 in the predetermined direction D.

[0044] In some embodiments, if the electronic device 110 can determine that the offset of the joystick 210 in the preset direction D (not shown) has decreased to less than a third threshold 208, and if the electronic device 110 detects that the offset of the joystick 210 in the preset direction has increased from decreasing to less than the third threshold, then the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object to perform a third action corresponding to the preset direction D.

[0045] For example, the electronic device 110 can change the orientation of the virtual object in the virtual environment 120 according to the preset direction D, that is, make the virtual object perform the corresponding three turning actions.

[0046] Furthermore, the first threshold and the second threshold can be dynamically updated during the operation of the joystick 210. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can detect a change in the offset of the joystick 210 after the offset exceeds the first threshold. If the offset increases, the first threshold can be updated based on the current offset of the joystick 210, and the second threshold can be determined based on the updated first threshold.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the joystick 210 can continue to move to position 201-5, i.e., generating an offset 207 in the predetermined direction D. If the electronic device 110 determines that this offset 207 is greater than the offset 202 previously generated by the joystick 210 in the predetermined direction D from the starting position 201, the first threshold can be updated based on this offset 207. For example, the first threshold 203 corresponding to offset 205 can be updated to the first threshold 203' corresponding to offset 207. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can determine the second threshold 204' based on the updated first threshold 203'.

[0048] That is, the electronic device 110 can update the threshold based on the real-time offset when the offset exceeds the threshold and continues to increase. Conversely, when the offset is decreasing and not less than the threshold, the electronic device 110 may not update the threshold. Furthermore, when the offset decreases to the threshold and then increases again, the electronic device 110 can update the threshold again based on the real-time offset. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can dynamically update the threshold used to trigger corresponding actions based on the interaction with the joystick, thereby improving the flexibility of joystick operation.

[0049] Furthermore, based on this method, the electronic device 110 can make the threshold associated with the maximum value reached by the offset, that is, the maximum offset.

[0050] The solution disclosed herein avoids control drawbacks such as sluggish operation and / or inaccurate triggering of movement of the controlled object caused by a fixed joystick threshold setting. The solution disclosed herein dynamically adjusts the joystick threshold setting, providing users with a more accurate and flexible operating experience when manipulating the joystick.

[0051] Figure 5 A flowchart of a method 500 for interacting in a virtual environment according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Method 500 may be performed by the electronic device 110 shown in FIG1. ​​For ease of discussion, the following description uses electronic device 110 as an example. However, this is merely exemplary and does not impose any limitation on the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure may also be performed by other suitable servers or electronic devices.

[0053] In box 520, in response to the offset exceeding a first threshold, electronic device 110 controls the virtual object to perform a first action corresponding to a preset direction.

[0054] In box 530, electronic device 110 determines that the offset of the joystick in a preset direction has decreased to less than a second threshold, which is different from the first threshold.

[0055] In box 540, in response to detecting an increase in the offset of the joystick in a preset direction, the electronic device 110 controls the virtual object to perform a second action corresponding to the preset direction.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110, in response to the offset exceeding a first threshold, determines a first maximum offset of the joystick in a preset direction and, based on the first maximum offset, determines a second threshold.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second threshold is positively correlated with the first maximum offset.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 determines a change in the offset state in response to the offset exceeding a first threshold; updates the first threshold based on the real-time offset of the joystick in response to the change in the state indicating an increase in the offset; and determines a second threshold based on the updated first threshold.
