[0014] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment".

[0017] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects are subject to the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user knows and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing each embodiment of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenario, etc. of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

If a user refuses to process personal information other than the necessary information for basic functions, it will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0019] As mentioned above, some platforms also support users to create corresponding virtual objects to support the use of such virtual objects in specific scenarios to improve the efficiency of information processing or enrich the user interaction experience. According to traditional solutions, it is difficult for users to configure the interactive capabilities of virtual objects, which makes it difficult for the response content generated by virtual objects to meet the user's expectations.

[0020] The embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for configuring a virtual object. According to the scheme, a set of configuration controls associated with a target interactive capability can be presented in a configuration interface of the virtual object. Furthermore, capability configuration information can be obtained via a set of configuration controls. The capability configuration information can enable: during the interaction process with the virtual object, in response to a trigger condition corresponding to the target interactive capability being met, the virtual object generates interactive content based on the capability configuration information.

[0021] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to configure the interactive capabilities of virtual objects, so that the virtual objects can generate corresponding interactive content according to the corresponding configuration information. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support fine-grained configuration of virtual objects and improve the interactive quality of virtual objects.

[0022] Various example implementations of the solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, an electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. The application 120 may be any suitable type of application for interface interaction. A user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100, if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 can present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to provide services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio receiver, an e-book device, a game device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0028] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports virtual scenes in the electronic device 110.

[0029] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

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

[0031] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 200A to 200D may be composed of Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0034] Figure 2A A management interface 200A of a virtual object is shown. In some embodiments, a virtual object can be created according to a configuration operation of a user. In some embodiments, a virtual object can be generated according to image data and a description text input by a user. A virtual object can include a visual representation of the virtual object and the capabilities (e.g., dialogue capability, data processing capability, etc.) possessed by the virtual object. In some scenarios, such a virtual object can also be referred to as a digital object or a virtual entity, for example.

[0035] It should be understood that, on the one hand, a virtual object may have a virtual image for interaction. On the other hand, a virtual object may also utilize an appropriate model to drive its interactive behavior, and such a model may include any appropriate machine learning model, for example, a generative model. In the present disclosure, various interactive processes and / or generative operations performed by a virtual object may be actually performed using an appropriate model corresponding to the virtual object.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the interface 200A may include a creation portal 205 for creating an interactive capability associated with a virtual object. In some scenarios, such an interactive capability may also be referred to as an interactive skill of a virtual object.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present, in response to the selection to create the entry 205, a Figure 2B As shown in the template selection window 210. As an example, the electronic device 110 can present a set of preset capability templates, such as capability template 215-1, capability template 215-2, capability template 215-3 and capability template 215-4 (individually or collectively referred to as capability templates 215) in the template selection window 210. In some scenarios, the capability template 215 can also be referred to as a skill template.

[0038] In some embodiments, different capability templates 215 may correspond to different interaction scenarios. As an example, different interaction scenarios may correspond to different interaction topics, different interaction forms, and the like.

[0039] As an example, capability template 215-1 may correspond to a dynamic push scenario, for actively pushing corresponding dynamic content to a user. As another example, capability template 215-2 may correspond to an object recommendation scenario, for introducing corresponding object content to a user.

[0040] As yet another example, the capability template 215 - 3 may correspond to a tutorial query scenario, for providing relevant tutorial content to the user. As another example, the capability template 215 - 4 may correspond to an interactive game scenario, for playing a corresponding interactive game with the user.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of a preset capability template (eg, capability template 215-2), and may accordingly present the following: Figure 2C The configuration interface 200C shown is used to configure the interaction capabilities (or interaction skills) corresponding to the virtual object and the object recommendation scenario.

[0042] As an example, the electronic device 110 may provide a plurality of configuration controls in the configuration interface 200C, for example, configuration control 220, configuration control 225, and configuration control 230. The electronic device 110 may obtain capability configuration information via the configuration controls provided in the configuration interface 200C, so that the virtual object can generate corresponding interactive content, for example, a response message, based on the capability configuration information.

[0043] In some embodiments, the configuration control 220 may be, for example, a conditional configuration control for configuring one or more trigger conditions corresponding to the target interactivity capability.

[0044] In some examples, the electronic device 110 may receive a natural language description about the trigger condition, for example, by configuring the control 220. For example, such a natural language description may include "a user asks questions related to skin care".

[0045] In other examples, the electronic device 110 may also receive one or more example statements by configuring the control 220, so that when similar statements are received, it may be determined that the trigger condition is satisfied.

[0046] For example, taking the object recommendation capability about "skin care" as an example, such an example sentence may include "how to care for skin in summer". Based on such an example sentence, when the virtual object receives the query message "how to care for skin in summer", it can be determined that the query message meets the configured trigger condition.

[0047] In some embodiments, the configuration control 225 may be a query configuration control for configuring at least one item of information that the virtual object needs to obtain. As an example, in different scenarios, the query configuration control may be associated with different preset information items. The electronic device 110 may receive a selection of one or more preset information items to specify the information that the virtual object needs to obtain.

[0048] Continuing with the object recommendation capability regarding “skin care” as an example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, configure the control 225 to add information that needs to be obtained including “object type”, “skin quality”, and the like.

[0049] Accordingly, during the interaction process of the virtual object, if the virtual object fails to obtain the above information from the user's query message, the virtual object may send a corresponding query message to obtain the corresponding information.

[0050] As an example, if the user's query message is "I want to know about facial cleansing milk", the virtual object can determine that the "skin quality" information cannot be determined based on the query message. Accordingly, the virtual object can generate a query message, such as "What is your skin quality?" to obtain the "skin quality" information.

[0051] In some embodiments, the configuration control 230 may be a logic configuration control, which may be used to configure the logic for a virtual object to generate interactive content.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 2C As shown, the configuration control 230 can be used to configure the reference objects supported by the virtual object in the process of generating interactive content. Continuing with the object recommendation capability about "skin care" as an example, the configuration control 230 can support the user to add the corresponding object (e.g., facial cleanser) as a reference object.

[0053] In some examples, the configuration control 230 may also be used to configure description information about the added reference object. Such description information may include, for example, a description text of the added reference object.

[0054] In yet other examples, configuration control 230 may also configure knowledge information used to generate interactive content.

[0055] The above describes the process of obtaining the corresponding capability configuration information by taking the capability template corresponding to the object recommendation scenario as an example. Different capability templates may correspond to different configuration controls to obtain different types of configuration information.

[0056] As an example, the capability template corresponding to the game interaction scenario can, for example, obtain the interaction logic of the virtual object for game interaction, for example, the process of the game interaction flow.

[0057] In some embodiments, the capability configuration information obtained via the configuration interface 300C is provided as at least part of a prompt item associated with the virtual object.

[0058] As an example, the electronic device 110 may update the system prompt item of the virtual object based on the acquired capability configuration information, thereby triggering the virtual object to generate interactive content based on such capability configuration information.

[0059] In some embodiments, the capability configuration information obtained through the configuration interface 300C can also be used to update or create a workflow corresponding to the virtual object. Different configuration information can be used to fill in different processing nodes of the workflow, thereby completing the capability configuration of the virtual object.

[0060] Continue to refer Figure 2D The electronic device 110 may also provide a preview window 235 in the interface 200D to support debugging of the virtual object.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may obtain a test input of the user input for the virtual object. As an example, the electronic device 110 may obtain the test input via the input control 240 provided in the preview window 235 .

[0062] Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also provide, for example, preset input items corresponding to the interactive capabilities to be configured, and may obtain the test input based on the user's selection of the preset input items.

[0063] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may provide a test response to the test input in the preview window 235. In some embodiments, such a test response may be generated based on the current capability configuration information in the configuration interface 200D.

[0064] As an example, the preview window 235 may be a conversation window with the virtual object. Additionally, such a test input may include, for example, a text message input by a user, and the corresponding test response may include a text message generated by the virtual object based on the current capability configuration information.

[0065] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to debug virtual objects through the preview window during the process of configuring the interactive capabilities of virtual objects, thereby improving the efficiency of configuring virtual objects.

[0066] Further, after completing the configuration of the corresponding interactive capability, the electronic device 110 may release the corresponding interactive capability through the button 245 so that the virtual object can apply such interactive capability during the interactive process.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also be configured as follows: Figure 2A The management interface 200A shown displays the created interactive capabilities to support the user to view or edit the interactive capabilities later.

[0068] like Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 may display an interactive capability list to display the name, description content, etc. of the created interactive capability. In some examples, the electronic device 110 may support the user to create different interactive capabilities using the same capability template.

[0069] In some examples, the electronic device 110 may support the user to modify the published interactive capability. As another example, the electronic device 110 may support the user to delete the published interactive capability. As another example, the electronic device 110 may also support the user to view the historical interactive information of the virtual object using the interactive capability, for example, the number of times the interactive capability is triggered.

[0070] In some embodiments, after the corresponding interactive capability is configured, during the interaction process of the virtual object, if the trigger condition corresponding to the interactive capability is met, the virtual object can generate the corresponding interactive capability based on the corresponding capability configuration information.

[0071] In some embodiments, such a trigger condition may include satisfying an interactive scenario corresponding to the target interactive capability. For example, taking the configuration of regularly pushing dynamic content to the user as an example, the trigger condition may include satisfying the configured time condition.

[0072] In other embodiments, such a trigger condition may include satisfying condition information set via a configuration interface. For example, if a query message matching the condition information configured by a condition configuration control (e.g., configuration control 220) is received in a session with a virtual object, it may be determined that the trigger condition is satisfied.

[0073] Based on the process described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to configure the interactive capabilities of virtual objects, so that the virtual objects can generate interactive content according to the corresponding configuration information. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support fine-grained configuration of virtual objects and improve the interactive quality of virtual objects.
