For example, the interactive information involved in this disclosure was obtained with full authorization.

[0128] The component display method provided in this disclosure can be executed by a terminal. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided in this embodiment of the disclosure. See also: Figure 1 The implementation environment includes a terminal 101 and a server 102. In this embodiment, a target application is installed on the terminal 101, which provides conversation functionality between multiple objects. The terminal 101 can display a conversation interface between two objects or a group chat interface between multiple objects. Furthermore, a desktop component of the target application is also displayed on the desktop of the terminal 101, which can be triggered to quickly access the conversation interface within the target application. The server 102 is the backend server for the target application.

[0129] Terminal 101 can be at least one of the following devices: smartphone, smartwatch, desktop computer, laptop, virtual reality terminal, augmented reality terminal, wireless terminal, and laptop computer. Terminal 101 has communication capabilities and can access wired or wireless networks. Terminal 101 can refer to one of multiple terminals; those skilled in the art will understand that the number of terminals can be more or less. Server 102 can be an independent physical server, a server cluster composed of multiple physical servers, or a distributed file system. It can also be a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. In some embodiments, server 102 and terminal 101 are directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication; this disclosure does not limit this. Optionally, the number of servers 102 can be more or less; this disclosure does not limit this. Of course, server 102 can also include other functional servers to provide more comprehensive and diversified services. In this embodiment, server 102 undertakes the main computing work and terminal 101 undertakes the secondary computing work; or, server 102 undertakes the secondary computing work and terminal 101 undertakes the main computing work; or, server 102 or terminal 101 can each undertake computing work independently, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0130] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a component display method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this method is executed by a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0131] In step S201, the terminal displays the desktop component of the target application. The desktop component is used to enter the session interface between the first object and the second object within the target application after being triggered.

[0132] In this embodiment, the terminal is the terminal logged in by the first object, and the target application is any application on the terminal. The target application can be a media application, a social application, a shopping application, etc. This embodiment does not limit the type of target application. The first object can publish or browse various media resources in the target application, such as videos, images, and text. The second object is an object that has a relationship with the first object, such as a friend relationship.

[0133] In this embodiment, the target application provides a session function, enabling the first object and the second object to engage in a session through the target application. The terminal can display the session interface between the first object and the second object within the target application. Specifically, after the terminal enters the target application, it displays the session interface between the first object and the second object in response to a trigger operation on a session control within the target application. The desktop component is a component that allows for quick display of the session interface between the first object and the second object without requiring the user to enter the target application.

[0134] The terminal displays desktop components of the target application on its desktop. Optionally, the terminal can display multiple desktop components of the target application, each corresponding to a session interface of the first object and different objects; that is, different desktop components are used to access the session interfaces of the first object and different objects.

[0135] In step S202, when both the first object and the second object are associated with the same virtual object, the terminal displays the virtual object in the form of the target object on the desktop component. The different object forms of the virtual object are used to indicate the different interaction between the first object and the second object within the target time period.

[0136] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the interaction between the first object and the second object includes sending session messages. These session messages can be media resources generated within the target application or media resources obtained by the target application from media resources stored locally on the terminal. The session messages can be in the form of videos, images, text, etc. Furthermore, the interaction between the first object and the second object also includes actions such as liking, forwarding, and saving media resources generated by the other party within the target application.

[0137] Optionally, either the first object or the second object can request the other to establish an association with the same virtual object. If the other party agrees, the virtual object is created between them, meaning that both the first object and the second object are associated with the same virtual object. Alternatively, after the other party agrees, the virtual object is created between the first object and the second object if they engage in conversations for a first consecutive number of time periods. The virtual object exists based on the fact that the first object and the second object engage in conversations for multiple consecutive time periods. Correspondingly, if the conversation between the first object and the second object is interrupted, the virtual object no longer exists, meaning that the first object and the second object are no longer associated with the same virtual object.

[0138] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target time period can be the current month, the current week, the current day, or the current hour; that is, a time period can be a month, a week, a day, or an hour. In this embodiment, the target time period is the current day, and a time period is a day, as an example for explanation.

[0139] In step S203, in response to the triggering operation of the desktop component, the terminal displays the session interface between the first object and the second object in the target application.

[0140] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the target application is already running, triggering the desktop component allows the terminal to automatically jump to the target application and display the conversation interface between the first and second objects. When the target application is not running, triggering the desktop component allows the terminal to automatically launch the target application and then display the conversation interface between the first and second objects within the target application.

[0141] This disclosure provides a component display method. The method displays a desktop component of a target application. Since the desktop component is used to enter the conversation interface between a first object and a second object within the target application upon triggering, this significantly shortens the interaction path and improves human-computer interaction efficiency compared to the traditional process of entering the target application, entering the second object's homepage, and triggering the conversation control on the homepage. Furthermore, when the first and second objects are associated with the same virtual object, the virtual object is also displayed as the target object on the desktop component. Since this target object form indicates the interaction between the two objects within a target time period, the first object can easily obtain information about its interaction with the second object during that period, increasing the information transmission volume on the desktop component and reducing the number of steps required for the first object to operate. Moreover, displaying the virtual object as a specific object on the desktop component is vivid and intuitive, improving the interface display effect and attracting the attention of the first object. This, in turn, encourages the first object to interact with the second object based on the virtual object's prompts, thus increasing the probability of interaction.

[0142] The above Figure 2 This is the basic process for displaying desktop components, based on... Figure 3 The process of displaying desktop components is explained further. See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a component display method according to an exemplary embodiment, the method comprising the following steps.

[0143] In step S301, the terminal displays the desktop component of the target application. The desktop component is used to enter the session interface between the first object and the second object within the target application after being triggered.

[0144] In the embodiments disclosed herein, step S301 is the same as step S201, and will not be described again here.

[0145] In step S302, when both the first object and the second object are associated with the same virtual object, the terminal displays the virtual object in the form of the target object on the desktop component. The different object forms of the virtual object are used to indicate the different interaction between the first object and the second object within the target time period.

[0146] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target object form includes a first object form and a second object form. The first object form indicates that two objects have engaged in conversation within a series of consecutive time periods up to the target time period. The second object form indicates that the two objects have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period. Accordingly, the process of the terminal displaying a virtual object in the target object form on the desktop component includes at least one of the following implementations: when the first object and the second object have engaged in conversation within both the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the terminal displays the virtual object in the first object form on the desktop component, wherein the first object form is an active form, to indicate that the virtual object is activated based on the conversation between the first object and the second object within the target time period; when the first object and the second object have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the terminal displays the virtual object in the second object form on the desktop component, wherein the second object form is an inactive form, to indicate that the first object and the second object have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period.

[0147] Specifically, if the two objects do not have a session during at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the virtual object is displayed in the form of a second object. That is, if the two objects do not have a session during the target time period, do not have a session during the time period preceding the target time period, or do not have a session during either of the two time periods, the virtual object is displayed in the form of a second object.

[0148] It should be noted that since virtual objects disappear when two objects do not have a session in two consecutive time periods, that is, the two objects no longer have an association with the same virtual object, the above-mentioned two objects not having a session in at least one of the target time period and the previous time period means that they did not have a session in the at least one time period but had a session in the time period before the previous time period.

[0149] In this configuration, at least one of the facial expressions and actions of the virtual objects corresponding to the first and second object forms differs. The facial expression and action corresponding to the first object form indicate an active state, indicating that the two objects have engaged in conversation within a target time period. For example, the facial expression corresponding to the first object form could be a happy expression, a laughing expression, or a smiling expression. The action corresponding to the first object form could be a bouncing action, a swaying action, or a running action. The facial expression and action corresponding to the second object form indicate an inactive state, indicating that the first and second objects have not engaged in conversation within the target time period or a previous time period. For example, the facial expression corresponding to the second object form could be a sad expression, an angry expression, or a frustrated expression. The action corresponding to the second object form could be a lying down action, a sleeping action, or a stomping action. Optionally, the facial expression and action are associated and can both be used to indicate whether the virtual object is active. For example, if the facial expression is happy, the action would be a bouncing action to indicate happiness. If the facial expression is sad, the action would be a rolling action on the ground or a stomping action to indicate sadness.

[0150] In this embodiment of the disclosure, different object forms are distinguished based on at least one of the virtual object's facial expressions and actions. Since the virtual object's facial expressions and actions can reflect whether the virtual object is active, and the virtual object can exhibit different active states under different interactive situations, the different object forms of the virtual object can be displayed by facial expressions and / or actions. This is not only convenient and accurate, but also vivid and intuitive in indicating the interaction between two objects within a target time period, thereby improving the interface display effect and the accuracy of information output.

[0151] In this embodiment of the disclosure, different object forms of virtual objects are used to indicate whether two objects are having a conversation within a target time period. This increases the amount of information transmitted and the interface display effect, which is conducive to attracting the attention of the first object. Furthermore, even if the target object form indicates that the two objects have not had a conversation within the target time period, it can still encourage the first object to have a conversation based on the target object form, thereby increasing the probability of the first object having a conversation with the second object.

[0152] In this embodiment, if the first object and the second object did not have a session in the previous time period, the virtual object is displayed in the form of the second object. Since the first object and the second object did not have a session in the previous time period, it indicates that the session between the two objects was interrupted. Optionally, in order to reduce the possibility of session interruption and promote the maintenance of the session between the two objects, the virtual object can only be displayed in the form of the first object if the first object and the second object have a session in the subsequent consecutive time periods. Specifically, if the first object and the second object did not have a session in the previous time period but have a session in the target time period, the virtual object is still displayed in the form of the second object until the first object and the second object have a session in the second consecutive number of time periods after the previous time period, at which point the virtual object is displayed in the form of the first object. For example, if the second number is three, and the first object and the second object did not have a session in the first time period but have a session in the second, third, and fourth time periods, the virtual object is displayed in the form of the first object on the desktop component in the fourth time period, and in the form of the second object on the desktop component in the other three time periods.

[0153] Accordingly, if the first object and the second object do not have a conversation in two consecutive time periods, the same virtual object associated with the two objects disappears. That is, the above-mentioned situation where the first object and the second object do not have a conversation in the time period before the target time period refers to the situation where the first object and the second object do not have a conversation in the time period before the target time period but have a conversation in the time period before the previous time period.

[0154] In some embodiments, the desktop component is also displayed with different brightness levels to further indicate the interaction between the first object and the second object during a target time period. Accordingly, the process by which the terminal displays a virtual object in the form of a target object on the desktop component includes at least one of the following implementations: the terminal displays a virtual object in the form of a first object on the desktop component and displays the desktop component at a first brightness; the terminal displays a virtual object in the form of a second object on the desktop component and displays the desktop component at a second brightness, wherein the first brightness is greater than the second brightness.

[0155] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when both objects are in a conversation during the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the virtual object is displayed not only in the form of a first object, but also with a brighter desktop component, indicating that the two objects have been in a conversation during the target time period by turning on the desktop component. Conversely, if no conversation occurs during the target time period or the preceding time period, the virtual object is displayed not only in the form of a second object, but also with a dimmer desktop component, indicating that the two objects have not been in a conversation during the target time period or the preceding time period by turning off the desktop component.

[0156] In this embodiment, the interaction status is simultaneously indicated by multiple interface elements, such as the object form of the virtual object and the brightness of the desktop component, further improving the interface display effect and thus enhancing the prompting effect. When the two objects are not interacting, the desktop component is displayed at a dimmer brightness, effectively prompting the two objects to engage in a conversation to activate the desktop component. When the two objects are interacting, the desktop component is displayed at a brighter brightness. This method of changing the brightness of the desktop component based on the interaction between the two objects increases the first object's sense of participation and engagement, encouraging the first object to engage in a conversation, thereby increasing the likelihood of interaction between the two objects.

[0157] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the object form of a virtual object provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The virtual object 401 is displayed in different object forms under different interaction conditions between the two objects. These interaction conditions can be named as follows: "Lighting up," "About to disappear," and "Reignited," etc. "Lighting up" corresponds to the first object form, while "About to disappear" and "Reignited" correspond to the second object forms. Specifically, "Lighting up" corresponds to the two objects having interacted during both the target time period and the preceding time period; "About to disappear" corresponds to the two objects not interacting during the target time period but interacting during the time period before the target time period; and "Reignited" corresponds to the two objects not interacting during the time period before the target time period but interacting during the time period before that period. Under different conditions, the virtual object is displayed in different object forms, and the desktop components are displayed with different brightness levels.

[0158] In some embodiments, virtual objects have different growth forms at different growth stages. Different growth stages are used to indicate different interactions between the first object and the second object over multiple time periods. Different growth forms include at least one difference in posture, expression, color, and size.

[0159] In this embodiment, the virtual object can have multiple growth stages, such as low, medium, and high stages, which are also the infancy, growth, and maturity stages of the virtual object, indicating the growth process of the virtual object. Different growth stages correspond to different numbers of time periods, which refers to the number of time periods in which two objects have conversations within consecutive time periods. For example, the number of time periods corresponding to the infancy, growth, and maturity stages increases sequentially. Alternatively, different growth stages correspond to different numbers of conversations between two objects. For example, the number of conversations corresponding to the infancy, growth, and maturity stages increases sequentially. Or, different growth stages correspond to different numbers of time periods and conversations, meaning that to move from one growth stage to another, not only must the number of time periods meet the requirements of that growth stage, but the number of conversations must also meet the requirements of that growth stage.

[0160] Accordingly, the process of displaying a virtual object in the form of a target object on the desktop component of the aforementioned terminal includes the following implementation: the terminal displays a virtual object with a target growth form in the form of a target object on the desktop component, and the target growth form corresponds to the current growth stage of the virtual object.

[0161] In this embodiment, different growth forms are displayed at different growth stages of the virtual object. Since the different continuous conversations between two objects determine the different growth stages of the virtual object, the growth form can also indicate the continuous conversation between the two objects. Thus, by displaying the virtual object on the desktop component, not only can its object form indicate the conversation between the two objects in the target time period, but its growth form can also indicate the continuous conversation between the two objects. This further increases the information transmission volume on the desktop component, making it easier for the first object to know more about its interaction with the second object based on the desktop component. This improves the convenience for the first object to obtain information, thereby facilitating the first object to conduct conversations with the second object based on the desktop component.

[0162] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the growth pattern of a virtual object according to an exemplary embodiment. The growth stages are juvenile, growth, and maturity. Each of the juvenile, growth, and maturity stages corresponds to a different growth pattern.

[0163] In some embodiments, the virtual object is also displayed in the conversation interface between the first object and the second object, and is displayed in the form of the target object, that is, the object form of the virtual object on the desktop component is the same as its object form on the conversation interface. Furthermore, the conversation interface also displays a background image of the virtual object, and the terminal also displays the background image of the desktop component as the background image of the desktop component, so that the desktop component and the virtual object displayed on the conversation interface are as similar as possible, improving the first object's visual experience of the desktop component and promoting conversations based on the desktop component.

[0164] In some embodiments, the terminal also displays other information on the desktop component to increase the information transmission rate. Optionally, embodiments of this disclosure further include at least one of the following implementations: the terminal displays the object identifier of the second object on the desktop component; the terminal displays the existence duration of the virtual object on the desktop component; when the second object is currently logged into a target application, the terminal displays a prompt message on the desktop component indicating that the second object is currently logged into the target application; when the virtual object is displayed in the form of the second object, the terminal displays a first prompt message on the desktop component, the first prompt message being used to prompt the first object to initiate a session with the second object to change the object form of the virtual object.

[0165] The object identifier of the second object includes at least one of the object's name and avatar. The duration of existence of the virtual object is the number of time periods during which the first and second objects have a conversation after the first and second objects are associated with the same virtual object. For example, if a time period is one day, then the duration of existence of the virtual object is the number of days during which the two objects have a conversation after the two objects are associated with the virtual object.

[0166] This includes displaying a notification message indicating that the second object is logged into the target application, or in other words, indicating that the second object is online. Optionally, this notification message can be the text "Online" or an icon, such as a dot displayed on the object's identifier. If the second object is not currently logged into the target application, this notification message will not be displayed.

[0167] Since the brightness of desktop components varies under different object forms, resulting in different brightness of virtual objects, the first prompt message can optionally be "Go to session and turn on" to encourage the first object to initiate a session in order to change the brightness of desktop components and virtual objects.

[0168] In this embodiment, displaying the object identifier of the second object facilitates the first object's understanding of which object the desktop component corresponds to, increasing the information throughput of the desktop component. Displaying the duration of the virtual object's existence facilitates the first object's further understanding of the virtual object's related information, increasing information throughput and encouraging the first object to maintain a session with the second object to continuously increase the duration of existence. Displaying the online status of the second object allows the first object to quickly determine whether the second object is online without needing to access the target application, improving information acquisition efficiency. Furthermore, when the second object is online, it encourages the first object to engage in a session with the second object, increasing the likelihood of a conversation between the two objects. Displaying the first prompt information, which indicates that the session can change the object's form, allows the first object to understand how to change the object's form, increasing information throughput and encouraging the first object to engage in a session based on the first prompt information.

[0169] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a desktop component according to an exemplary embodiment. The virtual object on the desktop component can have different object forms and different growth stages. The desktop component also displays the avatar of the second object, the duration of the virtual object's existence, a first prompt message, etc., and a dot is displayed on the avatar of the second object to indicate that the second object is currently logged into the target application.

[0170] In step S303, when a session message from the second object is received, the terminal cancels the display of the virtual object on the desktop component and displays session prompt information, which is used to indicate the media type of the received session message.

[0171] For example, if the conversation message is an image, the conversation notification will indicate that an image has been received. Similarly, if the conversation message is a video, the conversation notification will indicate that a video has been received.

[0172] In this embodiment of the disclosure, step S303 is described using the display of session prompt information as an example. In other embodiments, when a session message from the second object is received, the terminal cancels the display of the virtual object on the desktop component and displays the received session message; or, when multiple session messages from the second object are received, the terminal cancels the display of the virtual object on the desktop component and displays a prompt message indicating that multiple session messages have been received.

[0173] For example, if the conversation message is an image, the received image will be displayed on the desktop widget. If the conversation message is a video, the video's cover art will be displayed on the desktop widget, and the video will be played in response to a playback request.

[0174] In some embodiments, to further enhance the flexibility of session message display, when the session message is in a form other than text, a session notification is displayed on the desktop component; when the session message is text, the session message is displayed on the desktop component. Further, when at least one session message is received, and the latest received session message is text, the latest received session message is displayed on the desktop component. When at least one session message is received, and the latest received session message includes content of multiple media types, a notification message indicating that at least one session message has been received is displayed on the desktop component, such as the notification message "Received X new messages".

[0175] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if a virtual object is displayed on the desktop component before the session message of the second object is received, the virtual object can continue to be displayed on the desktop component or be undisplayed after the session message of the second object is received. Since the display space on the desktop component is limited, this embodiment of the disclosure will use the example of undisplaying the virtual object on the desktop component upon receiving the session message of the second object as an example for explanation.

[0176] In some embodiments, while displaying session prompt messages or session messages, the terminal may also include at least one of the following implementations: the terminal displays the object identifier of the second object on the desktop component; when the second object is currently logged into the target application, the terminal displays a prompt message indicating that the second object is currently logged into the target application on the desktop component; the terminal displays on the desktop component the number of time periods in which the first object and the second object have been in conversation within multiple consecutive time periods; the terminal displays a virtual prop on the desktop component, the virtual prop being used to indicate that the number of time periods exceeds a preset number; the terminal displays the avatar of the second object as the background image of the desktop component.

[0177] Specifically, when the received conversation message is text, to avoid interference from the background image, the second object's avatar will not be displayed as the desktop component's background image; instead, the received text will be displayed directly on the desktop component. Furthermore, the desktop component's background image is a solid color image to improve the interface display effect.

[0178] In this embodiment, displaying the object identifier of the second object makes it easier for the first object to know which object sent the conversation message, without requiring the first object to trigger a desktop component to find out the sender, thus improving the convenience of information acquisition for the first object. Displaying the online status of the second object allows the first object to quickly know whether the second object is online without needing to click within the target application, improving information acquisition efficiency. Furthermore, if the second object is online, it encourages the first object to engage in conversation with the second object based on the received conversation message, thereby increasing the likelihood of a conversation between the two objects. Displaying the number of consecutive conversation periods between the two objects helps the first object understand the status of consecutive conversations with the second object and also encourages the first object to maintain conversations with the second object, thus continuously increasing the number of consecutive conversation periods. Displaying virtual props, which are more expressive and vivid than text, is more likely to attract the attention of the first object. Since virtual props are generated when the two objects engage in conversations over multiple consecutive time periods, they serve as a reward for the consecutive conversations, further encouraging conversations between the two objects. By displaying the avatar of the second object as the background image of the desktop component, the desktop component is further highlighted as the desktop component corresponding to the second object. This fully utilizes the information transmission capability of the desktop component, further improving the transparency of information on the desktop component and the interface display effect.

[0179] It should be noted that there is no strict execution order between steps S302 and S303. The terminal will execute step S303 in any case when it receives a session message from the second object, regardless of whether the virtual object is displayed on the desktop component.

[0180] Accordingly, after the first object views the second object's session message, that is, after triggering the desktop component to enter the session interface, it returns to the desktop and continues to display the previously displayed content on the desktop component. However, it should be noted that since the first object and the second object have had a session within the target time period after receiving the second object's session message, if the virtual object was previously displayed in the form of the second object, then continuing to display the previously displayed content on the desktop component will now display the virtual object in the form of the first object.

[0181] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of a desktop component according to an exemplary embodiment. Upon receiving a session message from a second object, if the second object is currently logged into the target application, an "Online" notification is displayed on the desktop component, along with the name of the second object. If virtual items exist between the two objects, the desktop component also displays the virtual items and the number of time periods during which the two objects have continuously engaged in sessions. If the session message is an image or video, a session notification is displayed on the desktop component; if the session message is text, the session message itself is displayed. If the session message includes multiple media formats, a notification indicating that the session message has been received is displayed.

[0182] In step S304, when neither the first object nor the second object is associated with the same virtual object and no session message is received from the second object, the terminal displays the virtual prop in the form of a target prop on the desktop component. The virtual prop is generated when both the first object and the second object have a session within a consecutive preset number of time periods. The different prop forms of the virtual prop are used to indicate the different interaction situations between the first object and the second object within the target time period.

[0183] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the virtual prop is generated when two objects have a conversation within a consecutive preset number of time periods. That is, the virtual prop is used to indicate that the first object and the second object have a conversation within a consecutive number of time periods.

[0184] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target prop form includes a first prop form and a second prop form. The first prop form is used to indicate that two objects have engaged in conversation within a series of consecutive time periods up to the target time period. The second prop form is used to indicate that the two objects have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period. Accordingly, the process of the terminal displaying the virtual prop in the target prop form on the desktop component includes at least one of the following implementations: when the first object and the second object have engaged in conversation within the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the terminal displays the virtual prop in the first prop form on the desktop component. The first prop form is a wake-up form, indicating that the virtual prop is woken up based on the conversation between the first object and the second object within the target time period; when the first object and the second object have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the terminal displays the virtual prop in the second prop form on the desktop component. The second prop form is a non-wake-up form, indicating that the first object and the second object have not engaged in conversation within at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period.

[0185] Specifically, if the first object and the second object do not have a conversation during at least one of the target time period and the time period preceding the target time period, the virtual prop will be displayed in the form of a second prop. That is, if the two objects do not have a conversation during the target time period, do not have a conversation during the time period preceding the target time period, or do not have a conversation during either of the two time periods, the virtual prop will be displayed in the form of a second prop.

[0186] It should be noted that since virtual items will disappear if two objects do not have a conversation in two consecutive time periods, the corresponding statement that the two objects did not have a conversation in at least one of the target time period and the previous time period means that they did not have a conversation in the at least one time period but had a conversation in the time period before the previous time period.

[0187] In this configuration, at least one of the colors and shapes of the virtual props corresponding to the first prop form and the second prop form differs. The color and shape corresponding to the first prop form indicate an awakened state, indicating that the two objects have engaged in a conversation within a target time period. The color and shape corresponding to the second prop form indicate an inactive state, indicating that the two objects have not engaged in a conversation within the target time period or a previous time period. Optionally, the color corresponding to the first prop form is brighter than the color corresponding to the second prop form. For example, if the color corresponding to the first prop form is white, the color corresponding to the second prop form is bright yellow, or a combination of bright yellow and red. For example, if the virtual prop is a virtual flame, the flame core of the virtual flame in the second prop form is bright yellow, while the inner and outer flames are red.

[0188] Furthermore, virtual props possess different external forms at different growth stages. These different growth stages indicate different interactions between the first and second objects over multiple time periods. These different external forms include variations in at least one of the following: color, size, etc. Different growth stages correspond to different numbers of time periods, which refers to the number of consecutive time periods during which the two objects engage in conversation. Alternatively, different growth stages correspond to different numbers of conversations between the first and second objects. Or, different growth stages may correspond to different numbers of time periods and conversations; that is, to jump from one growth stage to another, not only must the number of time periods meet the requirements of that growth stage, but the number of conversations must also meet the requirements of that growth stage.

[0189] Accordingly, the process of displaying a virtual object in the form of a target prop on the desktop component of the aforementioned terminal includes the following implementation: the terminal displays a virtual prop with a target external form on the desktop component, and the target external form corresponds to the current growth stage of the virtual prop.

[0190] In this embodiment of the disclosure, different prop forms of virtual props are used to indicate whether two objects are having a conversation within a target time period. This increases the amount of information transmitted and the interface display effect, which is conducive to attracting the attention of the first object. Furthermore, even if the target object form indicates that the two objects have not had a conversation within the target time period, it can still encourage the first object to have a conversation based on the target prop form, which is conducive to prompting the first object to have a conversation with the second object.

[0191] In some embodiments, while displaying virtual items on the desktop component, the terminal also displays other information on the desktop component to improve information transparency. Optionally, embodiments of this disclosure further include at least one of the following implementations: the terminal displays the object identifier of the second object on the desktop component; when the virtual item is displayed in the form of the second item, the terminal displays a second prompt message on the desktop component, the second prompt message being used to prompt the first object to engage in a conversation with the second object to change the item form of the virtual item; the terminal displays on the desktop component the number of time periods in which the first object and the second object engage in conversation within multiple consecutive time periods; the terminal displays the avatar of the second object as the background image of the desktop component.

[0192] In this embodiment, displaying the object identifier of the second object helps the first object understand which object the desktop component corresponds to, increasing the information throughput of the desktop component. Displaying the second prompt information, which indicates that the session can change the item's form, also informs the first object of how to change the item's form, further increasing information throughput and encouraging the first object to engage in a session based on the first prompt information. Displaying the number of consecutive session periods between the two objects helps the first object understand the status of their consecutive sessions with the second object and encourages the first object to maintain a session with the second object, thus increasing the number of consecutive session periods. Displaying the second object's avatar as the background image of the desktop component further emphasizes that the desktop component corresponds to the second object, fully utilizing the desktop component's information throughput capabilities and further improving the information throughput and interface display effect.

[0193] In this embodiment, the display priority of session messages, virtual objects, and virtual items on the desktop component decreases sequentially, with elements of higher priority being displayed first. Specifically, when a session message is received, step S303 is executed; when no session message is received, step S302 is executed; and when no session message is received and the two objects are not associated with the same virtual object, step S304 is executed. That is, the sequence numbers of steps S302-S304 are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to restrict the execution order of the three.

[0194] In some embodiments, when the first object and the second object are not associated with the same virtual object, no session message is received, and there are no virtual props between the two objects, the identifier of the second object and a third prompt message are displayed on the desktop component, and the avatar of the second object is displayed as the background image of the desktop component. The third prompt message is used to prompt the first object and the second object to have a session to generate virtual props.

[0195] It should be noted that, based on the number of consecutive session periods between the first and second objects, the terminal also displays a corresponding prompt message on the desktop component. Different prompt messages are pre-set for different number of session periods, so that different prompt messages are used to prompt the first object to continue the session for different number of session periods. Furthermore, different prompt messages correspond to different forms of virtual items.

[0196] For example, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the display logic of a desktop component according to an exemplary embodiment. After the terminal displays the desktop component, it first determines whether there are unread messages for a second object. If so, the desktop component is displayed according to step S303. If there are no unread messages, it determines whether the two objects are associated with the same virtual object. If so, the virtual object is displayed on the desktop component according to step S302. If not, it determines whether there are virtual items between the two objects. If so, the virtual items are displayed on the desktop component according to step S304.

[0197] The process of displaying virtual items on the desktop widget can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the display of virtual props on a desktop component according to an exemplary embodiment. The target time period is the current day, and one time period is one day. Virtual props are generated when a first object and a second object engage in conversations for three consecutive days. The virtual props are virtual flames. The virtual props correspond to different prop forms under different interaction situations and different external forms at different growth stages. Based on the different conversation situations of the two objects over multiple time periods, five situations can be identified: no virtual props, about to light up, about to extinguish, rekindling, and igniting. Under different situations and at different growth stages, the desktop component displays the virtual props with different prop forms and different external forms, and displays different prompts at different growth stages.

[0198] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when no session message is received and the two objects are not associated with the same virtual object, virtual props between the two objects are displayed on the desktop component. The virtual props have a certain prop form to indicate the interaction between the two objects within a target time period, which makes it easier for the first object to know the interaction between it and the second object, increases the amount of information transmitted, and improves the interface display effect by using virtual props with a certain prop form to provide prompts. This improves the prompting effect, makes it easier to attract the attention of the first object, and facilitates the interaction between the first object and the second object based on the desktop component.

[0199] In step S305, the terminal displays a switching control on the desktop component. In response to the triggering operation of the switching control, the terminal displays multiple objects, and the switching control is used to switch the second object corresponding to the desktop component.

[0200] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the toggle control can be displayed anywhere on the desktop component. In this embodiment, the toggle control is shown in the upper right corner of the desktop component as an example. The toggle control displays a toggle icon to indicate that it is used to switch objects. For example, see... Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a desktop interface according to an exemplary embodiment. The desktop of the terminal displays application icons and a desktop component 1001, and a switching control 1002 is displayed in the upper right corner of the desktop component 1001.

[0201] The multiple objects can be objects that the first object within the target application has followed, or multiple objects that the target application and the first object mutually follow. Optionally, the terminal displays multiple objects on the object list page. Each object is displayed using at least one of its own avatar and name.

[0202] Among them, multiple objects are displayed in a certain order. Optionally, the process of displaying multiple objects on the terminal includes the following implementation methods.

[0203] In the first implementation, the terminal displays multiple objects sequentially according to the number of time periods during which each of the multiple objects has a conversation with the first object in multiple consecutive time periods.

[0204] The order of each object is positively correlated with the number of time periods it corresponds to; that is, the more time periods an object corresponds to, the earlier its order will be.

[0205] In this embodiment of the disclosure, multiple objects are displayed sequentially based on the number of consecutive time periods during which each of the multiple objects has a conversation with the first object. That is, the more consecutive time periods during which any object has a conversation with the first object, the higher its ranking. The more consecutive time periods during which an object has a conversation with the first object, the higher the probability that the first object has a frequent conversation with that object. In other words, the first object is most likely to establish a desktop component with such an object. Therefore, such objects are displayed first, making it easier for the first object to find them quickly without having to traverse the objects in the object list to search, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0206] In some embodiments, there may be two objects that correspond to the same number of time periods, such as the number of days. In this case, the two objects may have had conversations with the first object within the same number of consecutive days. In this embodiment, the present disclosure further includes the following implementation: when at least two objects correspond to the same number of time periods, the terminal displays at least two objects in sequence according to the interaction values ​​between each of the at least two objects and the first object. The interaction values ​​are used to indicate the interaction status with the first object.

[0207] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the order of each object is positively correlated with its corresponding interaction value; that is, the larger the interaction value of each object, the earlier its order.

[0208] The interaction value between each object and the first object indicates the level of interaction between them. Interaction between two objects refers to the number of times at least one interaction has occurred, such as conversations, liking, sharing, or saving each other's work. The interaction value is positively correlated with the number of interactions; the more interactions, the higher the interaction value.

[0209] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if multiple objects have the same number of consecutive conversations with the first object, they are sorted based on their interaction values. Since the larger the interaction value of any object, the more frequently the object interacts with the first object, the greater the likelihood that the first object will establish a desktop component with such an object. Therefore, such objects are displayed first, making it easier for the first object to find the object quickly, reducing the first object's search operation, and thus improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0210] In the second implementation, the terminal displays multiple objects sequentially according to the time of their most recent session with the first object.

[0211] The order of each object is negatively correlated with the time of its most recent session; that is, the later the time of the most recent session, the earlier the object is ranked.

[0212] In this embodiment of the disclosure, multiple objects are displayed sequentially based on the time of their most recent conversation with the first object. That is, the later the time of any object's last conversation with the first object, the higher its ranking. The later the time of the last conversation with the first object, the more likely the first object is to continue to have a conversation with that object next time. In other words, the first object is most likely to establish a desktop component with such an object. Therefore, such objects are displayed first, making it easier for the first object to find them quickly without having to traverse the objects in the object list to search, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0213] In the third implementation, the terminal displays multiple objects sequentially according to the number of sessions each object has with the first object.

[0214] The order of each object is positively correlated with the number of sessions it corresponds to; that is, the more sessions a particular object has, the earlier it appears in the order of the sessions.

[0215] In this embodiment of the disclosure, multiple objects are displayed sequentially based on the number of sessions between each object and the first object. That is, the more sessions any object has with the first object, the higher its ranking. The more sessions an object has with the first object, the higher the likelihood that the first object has frequent sessions with that object. In other words, the first object is most likely to establish a desktop component with such an object. Therefore, such objects are displayed first, making it easier for the first object to find them quickly without having to traverse the object list to search, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0216] For example, see Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an object list interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Multiple objects are displayed sequentially, and each object has its own selection control. When the selection control of any object is triggered, that object becomes the object corresponding to the desktop component.

[0217] In step S306, in response to the selection operation of a third object among multiple objects, when both the first object and the third object are associated with the same virtual object, the terminal displays the virtual object between the first object and the third object on the desktop component. The desktop component is used to enter the session interface between the first object and the third object in the target application after being triggered.

[0218] The third object can be any one of multiple objects. The selection operation on the third object refers to the triggering operation on the selection control of the third object.

[0219] In some embodiments, selecting any object returns the user to the terminal's desktop. In other embodiments, a close control is displayed on the object list page; selecting any object and triggering the close control returns the user to the terminal's desktop.

[0220] For example, see Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating an object switching mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment. In response to a trigger operation on a switching control on a desktop component, the terminal displays an object list page; in response to a selection operation on any object, the terminal returns to the desktop, and the selected object is displayed on the desktop component.

[0221] In this process, a virtual object between the first object and the third object is displayed on the desktop component. That is, the virtual object is displayed on the desktop component in a certain object form. Correspondingly, the object form is used to indicate the interaction between the first object and the third object within the target time period.

[0222] The process of displaying session prompts or messages on the desktop component when a session message from a third object is received is the same as in step S303 and will not be repeated here. Correspondingly, when neither the first object nor the third object is associated with the same virtual object and no session message from the third object is received, the terminal displays virtual props between the first and third objects on the desktop component. This process is the same as in step 304 and will not be repeated here.

[0223] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by displaying a switching control on the desktop component, the switching control can quickly switch the object corresponding to the desktop component, which makes it convenient for the first object to switch different friends to be displayed on the desktop, reducing the operation difficulty of the first object. Compared with the process of first entering the target application, then finding the object, and then setting the object as the object corresponding to the desktop component, the interaction path is greatly shortened, the switching efficiency is improved, and the efficiency of manual interaction is improved.

[0224] In step S307, in response to the triggering operation of the desktop component, the terminal displays the session interface between the first object and the second object in the target application.

[0225] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the target application is already running, triggering the desktop component allows the terminal to automatically jump to the target application and display the conversation interface between the first and second objects. When the target application is not running, triggering the desktop component allows the terminal to automatically launch the target application and then display the conversation interface between the first and second objects within the target application.

[0226] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by displaying conversation messages sent by other objects on the desktop component and by displaying a virtual object between two objects to expand the conversation scenario, the cost of objects sending conversation messages and the threshold of conversation are reduced, the interaction path is shortened, the interaction efficiency and interface display effect are improved, thereby promoting conversations between objects.

[0227] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by displaying different object forms of virtual objects between two objects on the desktop component, the first object can obtain the current object form of the virtual object in a timely manner, thereby increasing the amount of information transmitted and promoting interaction.

[0228] In this embodiment, displaying virtual objects of different forms on the desktop allows the first object to quickly understand the current state of the virtual object, attracting its attention and thus encouraging it to engage in conversation. Furthermore, displaying the virtual object's form on the desktop and directly showing unread conversation messages facilitates the first object's timely viewing of messages sent by the other party, increasing the message viewing rate and further encouraging conversation.

[0277] This disclosure provides a component display device that displays a desktop component of a target application. Since the desktop component is used to enter the conversation interface between a first object and a second object within the target application upon triggering, this significantly shortens the interaction path and improves human-computer interaction efficiency compared to the traditional process of entering the target application, entering the second object's homepage, and triggering conversation controls on the homepage. Furthermore, when the first and second objects are associated with the same virtual object, the virtual object is displayed as the target object on the desktop component. Since this target object form indicates the interaction between the two objects within a target time period, the first object can easily obtain information about its interaction with the second object during that period, increasing the information transmission volume on the desktop component and reducing the number of steps required for the first object to operate. Moreover, displaying the virtual object in a specific object form on the desktop component is vivid and intuitive, improving the interface display effect and attracting the attention of the first object. This, in turn, encourages the first object to interact with the second object based on the virtual object's prompts, thus increasing the probability of interaction.
