[0009] The technical solution disclosed herein has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] On the one hand, generating emotion response components based on players' biometric data during gameplay solves the problem of passively detecting players' emotional changes without requiring them to expend extra effort to express emotions, thus enhancing their focus and immersive experience. On the other hand, displaying emotion response components corresponding to different game emotion categories allows for timely processing of players' emotional changes, improving the game's emotional perception and enhancing interaction between players, ultimately improving the overall gaming experience.

[0025] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0026] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0027] In related technologies, text input or voice communication is provided to allow players to express their emotions during gameplay. However, this method requires players to spend extra effort and time expressing their emotions during gameplay. For example, related technologies provide input boxes where players need to enter text or emoticons so that other players can perceive their emotions. Obviously, this reduces the player's focus during gameplay, resulting in a poor gaming experience.

[0028] In view of one or more of the above-mentioned problems, this disclosure first provides a game emotion processing method through exemplary embodiments. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 The system architecture of the operating environment for this exemplary embodiment will be described.

[0029] refer to Figure 1As shown, the system architecture 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a server 120. The terminal device 110 may be an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer, and can be used to acquire facial expression data of players during gameplay. The server 120 generally refers to the backend system providing game emotion processing related services in this exemplary embodiment, such as a server implementing a game emotion processing method. The server 120 may be a single server or a cluster of multiple servers; this disclosure does not limit this. The terminal device 110 and the server 120 can be connected via a wired or wireless communication link for data interaction.

[0030] The game emotion processing method in this exemplary embodiment can be executed by the terminal device 110. For example, in a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game scenario or a shooting game scenario, the terminal device 110 can be a first terminal device running the game. The user can control a first virtual character by operating the first terminal device. The game scene of the MOBA game, the first virtual character, and the second virtual character are displayed through the graphical user interface provided by the first terminal device. An emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is displayed in the graphical user interface. When the emotion response component is triggered, the user can watch the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component through the graphical user interface.

[0031] In one embodiment, the terminal device 110 may include a first terminal device and a second terminal device. The second terminal device may acquire the biometric data of the user and then send the biometric data to the server 120. After receiving the biometric data, the server 120 may acquire an emotion response component based on the biometric data and send the emotion response component to the first terminal device. This allows the server to display the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character on the first terminal device and, in response to a trigger operation on the emotion response component, execute the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component, thereby realizing emotion processing during the game.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, the game emotion processing method in this exemplary embodiment can be executed by the terminal device 110 or the server 120.

[0033] The following is combined Figure 2 This section explains the methods for handling emotions in games. Figure 2 An exemplary flow of a game emotion processing method is shown, which may include the following steps S210 to S230:

[0034] Step S210: A graphical user interface is provided through the first terminal device. The graphical user interface includes a game scene and a first virtual character and at least one second virtual character located in the game scene. The first virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the first terminal device, and the second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the second terminal device. The first virtual character and the second virtual character are in the same game.

[0035] Step S220: Display the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character in the graphical user interface. The emotion response component is a component generated based on the biometric data of the operating user obtained from the second terminal device.

[0036] Step S230: In response to the trigger operation on the emotion response component, execute the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component.

[0037] Based on the above methods, on the one hand, by generating emotion response components based on players' biometric data during gameplay, compared to existing technologies, this approach can perceive players' emotional changes in real time without verbal communication and generate emotion response components. This solves the problem of passively acquiring players' emotional changes during gameplay to a certain extent, eliminating the need for players to expend extra energy to express emotions, thereby improving players' focus and enhancing their immersive gaming experience. On the other hand, by displaying emotion response components corresponding to different game emotion categories, triggering these components allows for the execution of corresponding game behaviors. This enables timely processing of players' emotional changes during gameplay, effectively improving the game's emotional perception and enhancing the interaction between players, further improving the overall gaming experience.

[0038] The following is about Figure 2 Each step in the process will be explained in detail.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 In step S210, a graphical user interface is provided through a first terminal device. The graphical user interface includes a game scene and a first virtual character and at least one second virtual character located in the game scene. The first virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the first terminal device, and the second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the second terminal device. The first virtual character and the second virtual character are in the same game.

[0040] In this context, "game scene" refers to the virtual environment images within a game, such as images of virtual environments in a MOBA game or shooting games. "Virtual character" refers to a character within the game; in this case, a first virtual character and a second virtual character can belong to the same team in the same game match.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 2In step S220, the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is displayed in the graphical user interface. The emotion response component is a component generated based on the biometric data of the operating user obtained from the second terminal device.

[0042] The emotion response component can be used to process the user's emotions during gameplay. For example, the emotion response component may include an emotion display component, such as... Figure 5 The game can use mood boards or game operation components corresponding to game mood categories, such as a "cooperate" button for positive moods. Users can control a second virtual character through a second terminal device. Biometric data is used to reflect the user's emotional changes during gameplay. This disclosure does not specifically limit the content of biometric data; for example, biometric data may include the user's heart rate, facial expressions, etc.

[0043] In one implementation, before displaying the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character in the graphical user interface, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the above method may further include steps S310 to S330:

[0044] Step S310: Obtain emotion statistics data based on the biometric data of the user corresponding to the second terminal device;

[0045] Step S320: If the emotional statistics data meet the preset conditions, determine the game emotional category of the user during the game based on the emotional statistics data.

[0046] Step S330: Determine the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character based on the game emotion category.

[0047] The following is about Figure 3 The steps are explained in detail.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 In step S310, emotion statistics are obtained based on the biometric data of the user corresponding to the second terminal device.

[0049] The emotional statistics can include the statistical quantity of each emotional category. For example, emotional statistics can include the percentage of each emotional category during gameplay, or the frequency of occurrence of each emotional category. Emotional categories can include positive emotional categories, negative emotional categories, and no-emotion categories that players experience during gameplay. For example, positive emotional categories can include joy, negative emotional categories can include anger, and there is a no-emotion category corresponding to when the player has no expression.

[0050] In one embodiment, the aforementioned biometric data may include facial expression data of the user during gameplay. The emotional statistics data are obtained based on the biometric data of the user corresponding to the second terminal device, with reference to... Figure 4 As shown, steps S410 to S420 may be included:

[0051] Step S410: Acquire multiple facial expression data of the user during the game according to a preset period, and determine the emotion category to which each facial expression data belongs;

[0052] Step S420: Obtain emotional statistics based on the statistical count of each emotion category.

[0053] The facial expression data can represent the changes in the user's facial expressions during gameplay. For example, the facial expression data may include facial photos or screenshots of the user's expressions during gameplay. The preset period refers to the interval between acquisitions of the target player's facial expression data. This disclosure does not impose any special limitations on the specific duration of the preset period; for example, the preset period could be 10 seconds.

[0054] For example, during gameplay, a photo of the user's face can be taken every 10 seconds to obtain facial expression data. Using generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) technology, the emotion category of the facial expression data can be determined, and a corresponding emotion symbol can be assigned based on that category. The emotion symbol can be a symbol used to represent the emotion category, as shown in the reference [reference needed]. Figure 5 As shown, 510 can represent the emotional statistics corresponding to the negative emotion category, 511 can represent the emotional symbol corresponding to the negative emotion category, and 512 can represent the statistical quantity of the negative emotion category; 520 can represent the emotional statistics corresponding to no emotion category, 521 can represent the emotional symbol corresponding to no emotion category, and 522 can represent the statistical quantity of no emotion category; 530 can represent the emotional statistics corresponding to the positive emotion category, 531 can represent the emotional symbol corresponding to the positive emotion category, and 532 can represent the statistical quantity of the positive emotion category; the statistical quantity of each emotion category can be updated every 10 seconds. For example, if the negative emotion category is identified 2 times in this preset period, then it will be updated in real time. Figure 5 The updated statistical count of negative emotions is 62, which means that during the game process from the start of recording the user's game emotions to the current moment, the user's negative emotion category appeared a total of 62 times, thus obtaining the emotional statistics of the negative emotion category.

[0055] Furthermore, after obtaining the emotional statistics of each player in the game, in one implementation, the emotional statistics of all players during the game can also be displayed, for reference. Figure 5 As shown, after obtaining the emotional statistics of each player, the emotional statistics of players belonging to the same team can be accumulated to obtain the emotional statistics of all players in the team, and then the emotional statistics can be displayed. Figure 5 The mood board displays the overall emotional changes of the players in the team in real time.

[0056] based on Figure 4 This method can obtain emotional statistics based on the facial expressions of the user, reflecting the player's emotional changes in real time during the game. It can also display the player's emotional statistics or the emotional statistics of the player's team to reflect the player's overall gaming experience.

[0057] In one implementation, the emotion statistics may include emotion categories and corresponding emotion symbols. After acquiring multiple facial expression data of the user during the game at a preset period and determining the emotion category to which each facial expression data belongs, the following steps may also be included:

[0058] The corresponding emotion symbol is determined based on the emotion category, and the emotion symbol is displayed in a designated position on the second virtual character.

[0059] The specified location is used to display the emotion symbol corresponding to the virtual character. For example, the specified location may include the surrounding area of ​​the second virtual character or a fixed location in the graphical user interface.

[0060] For example, after obtaining the emotion symbol corresponding to the user, the emotion symbol can be displayed to the right of the nickname of the second virtual character to show the user's emotional changes during the game in real time.

[0061] By displaying players' emotional symbols in real time during gameplay, other players can perceive the changes in a player's emotions without the player actively expressing emotions through voice or text. This breaks down the barriers to emotional expression in existing game scenarios and further enhances the gaming experience.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In step S320, if the emotional statistics data meet the preset conditions, the game emotional category of the user during the game is determined based on the emotional statistics data.

[0063] The preset conditions are the criteria used to determine the display of the emotion response component. Game emotion categories refer to the most frequently occurring emotion categories experienced by the user during gameplay.

[0064] In one implementation, the aforementioned emotion statistics include emotion categories and the statistical quantity of each emotion category; the aforementioned preset conditions include at least one of the following:

[0065] The number of emotion categories exceeds the preset statistical threshold;

[0066] Within a preset time period, the emotional statistics data only include one emotional category and the statistical number of emotional categories.

[0067] The preset statistical quantity threshold is used as the basis for determining whether an emotion category can be identified as a game emotion category. This disclosure does not specifically limit the specific value of the preset statistical quantity threshold. For example, the preset statistical quantity threshold can be 5. That is, during the game, if the frequency of occurrence of a certain emotion category of the operating user is greater than 5 from the start time of the emotion statistics to the current time, then the emotion category is identified as the game emotion category of the operating user, and the emotion response component corresponding to the game emotion category is displayed. In addition, the preset statistical quantity threshold can also be the proportion of the emotion category. For example, the preset statistical quantity threshold can be 50%. Then, if the frequency of occurrence of a certain emotion category is greater than 50% from the start time of the emotion statistics to the current time, then the emotion category can be identified as the game emotion category of the operating user.

[0068] The preset time period can be the maximum cumulative duration of a certain emotion category appearing continuously. This disclosure does not make any special limitation on the specific duration of the preset time period. For example, the preset time period may include 50 seconds. For instance, if within 50 consecutive seconds, the emotion category of the user obtained from the user's facial expression data only includes positive emotion category, then the user's game emotion category is determined to be positive emotion category.

[0069] By determining the player's game emotion category based on preset conditions, it is possible to obtain the emotion category that the player experiences most frequently during the game. This ensures that the emotion response components displayed in the subsequent process have a high degree of matching with the player's game emotions, further enhancing the player's gaming experience.

[0070] In one implementation, determining the user's emotional category during gameplay based on emotional statistics may include the following steps:

[0071] When the emotion category statistics include the number of statistics for multiple emotion categories, the game emotion category of the user is determined based on the emotion category with the highest number of statistics.

[0072] Identifying the most frequently occurring emotion category as the game emotion category for players (operating users) can improve the accuracy of game emotion category identification, resulting in a high degree of matching between emotion response components and game components intended by players, thereby improving the player's gaming experience.

[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In step S330, the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is determined according to the game emotion category.

[0074] In one implementation, the aforementioned emotion response component includes a first emotion response component, a second emotion response component, and a third emotion response component. The step of determining the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character based on the game's emotion category includes:

[0075] If the user's game emotion category is positive, the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is determined to be the first emotion response component; if the user's game emotion category is negative, the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is determined to be the second emotion response component; otherwise, the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character is determined to be the third emotion response component.

[0076] The first emotion component is an emotion response component corresponding to a positive emotion category. For example, the first emotion component may include a "praise" button and a "cooperate" button. The user's teammates (including the user controlling the first virtual character through the first terminal device) can use the first emotion component to express their appreciation for the user's game operation, such as praising the user or inviting the user to perform game tasks together. The second emotion component is an emotion response component corresponding to a negative emotion category. For example, the second emotion component may include a "soothe" button and a "block" button. The user's teammates can use the second emotion component to soothe the user's emotions, or they may choose to block the user if they think the user's game operation skills are poor. The third emotion response component is an emotion operation component corresponding to when the user has no emotion category. For example, the third emotion component may include a "greet" button, a "beware of enemy" button, etc.

[0077] By acquiring the emotion response component corresponding to the second virtual character, the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component can be executed by triggering the emotion response component, thereby processing the player's game emotions in a timely manner and improving the player's game experience.

[0078] In one embodiment, the above-described component for displaying the emotion response of the second virtual character in the graphical user interface may further include the following steps:

[0079] The real-time expression display position is determined based on the position of the second virtual character in the graphical user interface;

[0080] Display the user's real-time facial expression animation in the real-time facial expression display area.

[0081] The real-time facial expression display position can be the location used to display the user's real-time facial expression animation, allowing the animation to follow the movement of the second virtual character. The real-time facial expression animation can reflect changes in the user's facial expressions. For example, it can include facial expression animation generated by modifying the head image of the second virtual character based on photos of the user's facial expressions during gameplay. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 It includes a second virtual character 610, a real-time facial expression animation 620 generated based on the user's facial expression and the head image of the second virtual character, and an emotion response component 630 corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0082] By updating the player's real-time facial animations at the real-time display position of the game character's facial expressions, the vividness of the player's facial expressions can be improved, while increasing the fun of the game process and further enhancing the game's appeal and playability.

[0083] In one embodiment, before displaying the user's real-time facial animation at the real-time facial expression display location, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0084] Acquire game style data and real-time facial expression data of the user;

[0085] The game style data and the real-time facial expression data of the user are input into a preset facial expression animation conversion model, and the real-time facial expression animation of the user is determined based on the output of the preset facial expression animation conversion model.

[0086] The game style data can be used to characterize the appearance of game characters. This disclosure does not specifically limit the content of the game style data. For example, if the game style data of a game includes "tiger-faced man" image data, then all game characters in that game are designed based on the "tiger-faced man." Real-time facial expression data can include facial photos of the user during gameplay. The preset facial expression animation conversion model can be a deep model generated based on AIGC technology for image conversion.

[0087] For example, if a shooting game uses a "tiger-masked man" as the basis for its character design, the image of the "tiger-masked man" can be used as the game's style data. After acquiring the real-time facial expression data of the user, this data can be automatically uploaded to a preset facial expression animation conversion model for processing. The model can then use the "tiger-masked man" image data, the user's real-time facial expression data, and automatically generated prompts to generate an animation such as... Figure 7 The "tiger-faced man" image shown, which includes the user's facial expressions, can be identified as a real-time facial animation of the user.

[0088] By inputting game style data and real-time facial expression data of the user into a preset facial expression animation conversion model, the real-time facial expression animation of the user can be obtained. This ensures that the player's real-time facial expression animation matches the overall style of the game, while more vividly and accurately reflecting the player's facial expression changes, effectively improving the player's gaming experience.

[0089] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In step S230, in response to the triggering operation on the emotion response component, the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component is executed.

[0090] For example, refer to Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The second virtual character 810 and its corresponding game emotion category emotion response component 820 are shown. When the user's game emotion category is negative, the emotion response components such as "soothe" button and "block" button corresponding to the negative emotion category are displayed. At this time, the user's teammates can soothe the user's emotions by clicking the "soothe" button in the graphical user interface of the first terminal device.

[0091] In one implementation, after executing the game behavior corresponding to the emotion response component, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0092] The execution result display component is obtained based on the execution result of the game behavior, and then displayed in the graphical user interface so that the first virtual character can know the execution result of the game behavior.

[0093] For example, if player 1's (the user controlling the character) emotional statistics determine that player 1's game emotional category is negative, then a second emotional response component is displayed at player 1's preset location. This second component includes a "Soothe" button and a "Block" button. If player 2 (the teammate who triggered the user's emotional response component) clicks the "Soothe" button, triggering player 1's emotional response component, then other teammates of player 1 (such as player 3, who could be the user controlling the first virtual character) will also see the execution result display component corresponding to this "Soothe" game action. (See reference...) Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The execution result display component 910 and the first virtual character 920 controlled by player number 3 are shown. The execution result display component 910 may include execution result display information 911 and game behavior operation component 912. The game behavior operation component 912 may include an "ignore" button and a "soothe" button. If player number 3 clicks the "soothe" button, it can trigger the emotion response component of player number 1 to soothe player number 1's emotions.

[0094] By displaying the execution results in the graphical user interface, the results of game actions can be shown to players in the same game, which can improve the efficiency of interaction between players, thereby breaking down barriers to friendship and further improving the player's gaming experience.

[0095] In one embodiment, after obtaining emotion statistics based on the biometric data of the user corresponding to the second terminal device, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0096] The friend matching results for the user are determined based on sentiment statistics.

[0097] The friend matching results include either the user being added as a friend of their teammate, or the user failing to find a friend. For example, the user failing to find a friend could include the user being blocked by other teammate players, meaning that the user and that teammate player will no longer be matched into the same team in subsequent games.

[0098] In one implementation, before determining the user's friend matching results based on sentiment statistics, the following steps may also be included:

[0099] It acquires and displays information about players' emotional changes based on emotional statistics.

[0100] Among them, the emotion change information is information that can characterize the player's emotional changes during the game. This disclosure does not specifically limit the content of the emotion change information. For example, the emotion change information may include the emotion change curve, the proportion of each emotion category, the frequency of occurrence of each emotion category, etc.

[0101] For example, refer to Figure 10 As shown, during the game, a "Details of Emotional Changes" button 1010 can be displayed. After a player clicks this button, a list of participating players 1030 can be displayed in that player's graphical user interface. When that player selects player number 1 from list 1030, the display state of the selection box for player number 1 in list 1030 changes. Based on player number 1's emotional statistics, the game can retrieve player number 1's emotional changes from the start of the game to the moment the "Details of Emotional Changes" button is clicked, and this information can be displayed. Figure 10 As shown, the emotion change information 1020 may include the emotion distribution display board of player 1 1021, the emotion change curve of player 1 1022, and the emotion statistics of the team to which player 1 belongs 1023.

[0102] By displaying players' emotional changes, we can understand their overall experience in the game and provide a basis for determining the matchmaking results for players.

[0103] In one implementation, the aforementioned emotional statistics include the statistical quantity of positive emotions and the statistical quantity of negative emotions. Determining the friend matching result for the user based on the emotional statistics may include the following steps:

[0104] If the number of positive emotions of the user exceeds the first emotion threshold, the user will be added to the friend list of the user's teammates. If the number of negative emotions exceeds the second emotion threshold, the user will be determined to have failed to find a friend.

[0105] The first emotion threshold is used as the basis for determining whether to add the second virtual character to the friend list of the second virtual character's teammates. This disclosure does not make a special determination on the specific value of the first emotion threshold. For example, the first emotion threshold can be 50%. The second emotion threshold can be used as the basis for determining whether the user's friend matching fails. This disclosure does not make a special limitation on the specific value of the second emotion threshold. For example, the second emotion threshold can be 40%.

[0106] It should be noted that the first emotional threshold and the second emotional threshold may be equal or unequal, and this disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on this; furthermore, the first emotional threshold and the second emotional threshold may be preset to fixed values ​​or may be set by the player, and this disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0107] For example, if Player 2 (the teammate of the player controlling the game) chooses to view Player 1's (the player controlling the game) emotional display information, and Player 1's positive emotional percentage exceeds 50%, Player 1 can be automatically added to Player 2's friend list. Alternatively, Player 2 can manually add Player 2 as a friend through the in-game friend addition component after viewing Player 1's emotional display information. If Player 1's negative emotional percentage exceeds 50%, Player 1 will be automatically added to Player 2's team blacklist, effectively blocking Player 1 from Player 2's perspective. In subsequent game team matchmaking, Player 1 and Player 2 will no longer be matched into the same team.

[0108] When a player's positive emotion statistics exceed the first emotion threshold, the system automatically adds friends, allowing the player to automatically add more like-minded game friends, effectively improving the player's interaction efficiency during the game and further enhancing the player's gaming experience.

[0109] Based on the above method, real-time acquisition of players' emotional statistics is achieved without players communicating silently. This solves the problem of unconsciously acquiring players' emotional changes during gameplay to some extent, eliminating the need for players to expend extra energy to express their emotions. This enhances players' focus on the game and further improves their immersive experience.
