Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an embodiment of this disclosure. See also: Figure 1 The implementation environment includes: terminal 101 and server 102.

[0127] In this embodiment, terminal 101 is used to play multimedia resources such as videos and image sets. In some embodiments, a target application is installed on terminal 101, which is used to play multimedia resources. The target application may be a video application, an audio application, a social application, etc., and is not limited thereto. For example, the target application may take the form of a web application, a microprogram, or a client, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. A microprogram refers to a program that runs on top of other applications, such as a mini-program. Server 102 is used to provide background services for the target application running on terminal 101. For example, in response to a display operation of multimedia resources, terminal 101 obtains the corresponding multimedia resources from server 102 for display. Of course, server 102 may also include other functional servers to provide more comprehensive and diversified services.

[0128] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 displays a virtual widget on the playback interface of the multimedia resource. In response to the virtual widget meeting the interaction conditions, a transformation animation of the virtual widget is displayed.

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 of the disclosure does not limit this.

[0131] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for acquiring virtual resources according to an exemplary embodiment. See also... Figure 2 This method is executed by the terminal and includes the following steps:

[0132] In step 201, the terminal displays a virtual widget on the multimedia resource playback interface.

[0133] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a target application runs on the terminal, which provides multimedia resource display functionality. The multimedia resources can be videos, images, image sets, etc. The multimedia resources are used to introduce items or services, that is, to promote items or services.

[0134] Virtual widgets are visual elements used for decoration, and can be of any style. The terminal can overlay virtual widgets onto multimedia resources, or display multimedia resources and virtual widgets separately in different areas of the playback interface.

[0135] In some embodiments, the playback interface also displays interactive controls and a text area for the multimedia resources. The interactive controls are used to like, share, comment on, and favorite the multimedia resources. The text area includes at least one of the descriptive text or object information of the multimedia resources. The descriptive text refers to the text of the multimedia resource, and the object information refers to the information of the object that published the multimedia resource.

[0136] In some embodiments, the virtual widget displayed on the playback interface in step 201 is in an untriggerable state.

[0137] In step 202, the terminal responds to the virtual widget meeting the interaction conditions by displaying a transformation animation of the virtual widget, which is used to present the dynamic effect of the virtual widget changing.

[0138] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the virtual widget meets the interaction conditions, the terminal displays the transformation animation of the virtual widget on the playback interface to present the dynamic effect of the virtual widget changing.

[0139] In some embodiments, the terminal displays the virtual widget's transformation animation while simultaneously canceling the display of multimedia resources; or, the terminal plays multimedia resources in a first area of ​​the playback interface and displays the virtual widget's transformation animation in a second area of ​​the playback interface; or, the terminal overlays the virtual widget's transformation animation onto the multimedia resources, such as displaying a mask on the playback interface and displaying the virtual widget's transformation animation on the mask.

[0140] In some embodiments, the terminal displays the transformation animation of the virtual widget while playing the corresponding sound effect of the transformation animation.

[0141] In step 203, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the virtual widget in a triggerable state. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual widget in a triggerable state, the terminal displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource.

[0142] In this embodiment, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is completed, a triggerable virtual widget is displayed. Users can trigger the virtual widget to claim virtual resources, thus promoting user interaction with the virtual widget. Specifically, after triggering the virtual widget, the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources are distributed to the currently logged-in user; therefore, the terminal displays the result of obtaining the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources.

[0143] Virtual resources are used to redeem certain items or services; for example, virtual resources can be virtual resource vouchers. The association of virtual resources with multimedia resources means that the scope of use of virtual resources includes items and services associated with the multimedia resources. For instance, if multimedia resources are used to promote a particular item, then virtual resources can be used to redeem that item.

[0144] The method provided in this disclosure displays a virtual widget on the playback interface of a multimedia resource. When the virtual widget meets the interaction conditions, a transformation animation of the virtual widget is displayed. After the transformation animation is completed, the virtual widget can be triggered to claim virtual resources associated with the multimedia resource. Displaying this content while playing multimedia resources enriches the interface presentation, improves the interface display effect, increases the fun of playing multimedia resources, and thus enhances the user experience. Furthermore, it provides an interactive method for claiming virtual resources after watching an animation, increasing the fun of claiming virtual resources and encouraging user interaction with the virtual widget, thereby increasing user engagement.

[0145] The above Figure 2 The diagram shown is only the basic process of this disclosure. The following is a further explanation of the solution provided in this disclosure based on a specific implementation method. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for acquiring virtual resources according to an exemplary embodiment, the method being executed by a terminal, see [link to flowchart]. Figure 3 The method includes the following steps:

[0146] In step 301, the terminal displays multiple virtual widgets on the multimedia resource playback interface.

[0147] In some embodiments, displaying virtual widgets on the playback interface of multimedia resources includes any of the following:

[0148] (1) When the playback duration of the multimedia resource reaches the first duration, a virtual widget is displayed on the playback interface of the multimedia resource.

[0149] The first duration is a preset duration, such as 0 seconds, 3 seconds, or 5 seconds. If the first duration is 0 seconds, the virtual widget will be displayed simultaneously when the multimedia resource starts playing. If the first duration is greater than 0 seconds, multiple virtual widgets will be displayed after a certain duration has elapsed since the multimedia resource started playing.

[0150] (2) In response to interactive operations on multimedia resources, a virtual widget is displayed on the playback interface of the multimedia resources, wherein the interactive operations include at least one of the following: liking, commenting, collecting, or sharing.

[0151] If the user performs an interactive operation on the multimedia resource, a virtual widget will be displayed on the multimedia resource's playback interface; if the user does not perform an interactive operation on the multimedia resource, no virtual widget will be displayed on the multimedia resource's playback interface.

[0152] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the playback duration of a multimedia resource reaches a certain duration, or when the user performs an interactive operation on the multimedia resource, it can be indicated that the user is interested in the multimedia resource. Therefore, an additional virtual widget is displayed so as to distribute virtual resources to the user through the virtual widget, which is conducive to promoting user interaction based on multimedia resources and thereby increasing user participation.

[0153] (3) When the currently playing content of the multimedia resource is preset content, a virtual widget is displayed on the playback interface of the multimedia resource. The preset content is the content in the multimedia resource, such as preset keywords or preset video footage.

[0154] Optionally, the preset content can be content associated with the virtual widget. For example, if the virtual widget is associated with an item described in a multimedia resource, then when the currently playing video in the multimedia resource includes that item, the virtual widget will be displayed on the multimedia resource's playback interface. As another example, if the virtual widget is associated with the date type of the current date, then when the currently playing content in the multimedia resource mentions the current date, the virtual widget will be displayed on the multimedia resource's playback interface. In this implementation, the timing of the virtual widget's display is related to the currently playing preset content in the multimedia resource. Therefore, the process from playing the preset content to displaying the virtual widget is more seamless, avoiding the abruptness of suddenly displaying the virtual widget. This improves the effect of playing multimedia resources and displaying virtual widgets, thereby enhancing the user's viewing experience.

[0155] In some embodiments, the virtual widget is a virtual red envelope, where the virtual red envelope is a display element in the style of a red envelope. Alternatively, the virtual widget can be a sticker of an item introduced by a multimedia resource. For example, if the multimedia resource is used to introduce lipstick, then the virtual widget can be a lipstick sticker. In addition, the virtual widget can also be other information associated with the multimedia resource; for example, if the multimedia resource is used to introduce an item from a target producer, the virtual widget can also be an icon of that target producer. In this implementation, the virtual widget can be either a virtual red envelope or a sticker of an item introduced by a multimedia resource, increasing the diversity of virtual widgets and enhancing their appeal.

[0156] In some embodiments, a virtual widget is a display element associated with the date type of the current date. For example, during the Spring Festival, the virtual widget could be a virtual red envelope; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it could be a mooncake. In this implementation, by displaying date-related virtual widgets while playing multimedia resources, interesting content related to the festival can be created, which not only increases the transparency of information but also enhances the fun of the interface display, enhances the atmosphere of the event and the festival, improves the display effect of the virtual widgets, and thus improves the user experience.

[0157] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a virtual widget according to an exemplary embodiment. See also: Figure 4 The multimedia resource playback interface displays three virtual widgets 401, which can be virtual red envelopes, that is, red envelope-style display elements.

[0158] In step 302, in response to multiple virtual widgets meeting the interaction conditions, the terminal transforms the multiple virtual widgets into a target pattern composed of multiple virtual widgets.

[0159] In this embodiment, the terminal transforms multiple virtual widgets to form a target pattern, which includes the multiple virtual widgets. The target pattern can be any style of pattern, such as an axially symmetric pattern or a centrally symmetric pattern; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0160] In some embodiments, the interaction conditions include at least one of the following: (1) The display duration of the virtual widget reaches a first duration. The virtual widget displays a countdown timer, and reaching the first duration means the countdown timer has finished. After the countdown ends, the terminal is triggered to display the virtual widget's transformation process. (2) The virtual widget is triggered. (3) Interactive controls on the playback interface are triggered. These interactive controls are used to interact with multimedia resources. Multiple interactive controls can be used, for liking, forwarding, commenting, and collecting multimedia resources, respectively. In other embodiments, at least two of the above conditions are combined to trigger the terminal to display the virtual widget's transformation process. For example, if the virtual widget's display duration reaches the first duration and it is triggered, the terminal is triggered to display the virtual widget's transformation process.

[0161] In this embodiment, the terminal automatically triggers the display of the virtual widget's transformation process after the virtual widget has been displayed for a certain period of time. This allocates a certain amount of time for the display of multimedia resources, ensuring the display effect of the multimedia resources and facilitating user interaction based on the multimedia resources. User triggering of the virtual widget can also trigger the terminal to display the virtual widget's transformation process, improving the flexibility of interaction and the efficiency of human-computer interaction. Triggering the interactive controls of the multimedia resources to display the virtual widget's transformation process not only generates interaction with the multimedia resources but also triggers the display of the virtual widget's transformation process, improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction. Furthermore, the user's interaction with the multimedia resources indicates interest in the playing multimedia resources, leading to the display of the related virtual widget's transformation process, improving the rationality and accuracy of the timing of the virtual widget's transformation process display, and facilitating user interaction based on the virtual widget.

[0162] In some embodiments, multiple virtual pendants arranged in a row are rotated and translated so that the multiple virtual pendants are arranged radially in the target pattern formed after rotation and translation.

[0163] In this process, multiple virtual widgets are arranged on the playback interface. The terminal rotates and translates each virtual widget to change their distribution, ultimately resulting in a radial distribution that forms the target pattern. For example, multiple virtual widgets are arranged in a row. By rotating each virtual widget at different angles and translating it in different directions, the transformed virtual widgets form a connected circle, thus creating the target pattern.

[0164] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by rotating and translating multiple virtual widgets arranged in a radial pattern to form a target pattern, the visual appeal of the interface can be further enhanced, the display effect of the virtual widgets' transformation animation can be improved, and thus the user experience can be improved.

[0165] In some embodiments, multiple virtual widgets are transformed into a target pattern, and the target pattern is displayed as rotating. After transforming the multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern, the terminal maintains the rotating target pattern. The rotation center of the target pattern can be its center point. For example, if the target pattern is a circle, the circle can rotate around its dot.

[0166] In this embodiment, after multiple virtual widgets are transformed into a target pattern, the target pattern continues to rotate, maintaining the dynamic display effect of the target pattern, which helps to further improve the user's viewing experience.

[0167] In some embodiments, transforming multiple virtual widgets into a target pattern composed of multiple virtual widgets includes at least one of the following:

[0168] (1) During the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into a target pattern, the multiple virtual widgets are displayed to move from the non-center area of ​​the screen to the center area of ​​the screen. For example, if the multiple virtual widgets are located in the lower left corner of the screen, then during the transformation process, the multiple virtual widgets are gradually moved from the lower left corner area to the center area of ​​the screen so that after the target pattern is finally formed, the target pattern is displayed in the center area of ​​the screen.

[0169] (2) During the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern, the multiple virtual widgets are displayed to change from a first size to a second size, where the first size and the second size are different. For example, the first size is smaller than the second size, meaning that the virtual widgets are gradually enlarged during the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern. Alternatively, the first size can be larger than the second size, in which case the virtual widgets are gradually reduced in size during the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern.

[0170] (3) During the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern, the number of virtual widgets displayed changes from a first number to a second number, and the first number and the second number are different. For example, if the first number is less than the second number, then during the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into the target pattern, a dynamic effect of more virtual widgets flying out from one or more virtual widgets can be displayed, or a dynamic effect of more virtual widgets falling from the top of the screen can be displayed.

[0171] In this embodiment of the disclosure, during the process of transforming multiple virtual pendants into a target pattern, the position, size, and quantity of the virtual pendants can also be changed, making the transformation process richer and more eye-catching, adding a variety of innovative display styles, further enhancing the fun, and thus improving the user experience.

[0172] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the transformation animation of a virtual widget according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the playback interface displays three virtual widgets 401. In the transformation animation of the virtual widgets, these three virtual widgets 401 gradually translate and rotate from the lower left corner of the screen towards the center. During the translation and rotation, the size of the virtual widgets 401 gradually increases, and more identical virtual widgets 401 gradually fly out from between the three virtual widgets 401. Finally, the multiple virtual widgets 401 form a target pattern 501, which is displayed in the center of the screen. After the target pattern 501 is formed, it can continue to rotate in the center of the screen.

[0173] In some embodiments, the target pattern is a pattern associated with a multimedia resource, such as an item promoted by a target producer. The target pattern could represent the item promoted by the multimedia resource, or it could represent the target producer. In other embodiments, the target pattern can be a pattern associated with the date type of the current date; for example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the target pattern could be a mooncake pattern.

[0174] In some embodiments, during the process of transforming multiple virtual widgets into a target image, the terminal displays information associated with a multimedia resource on at least one virtual widget. For example, if the multimedia resource is used to promote an item from a target producer, then at least one of the following can be displayed on the virtual widget: the item, the item's information, the target producer, or the target producer's producer information.

[0175] In some embodiments, during step 301, a text area is also displayed on the multimedia resource playback interface. This text area includes at least one of the multimedia resource's descriptive text or object information, where the object information refers to information about the object that published the multimedia resource. In step 302, in response to the virtual widget meeting the interaction conditions, the text area is de-displayed, and the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed.

[0176] In other words, when the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed on the playback interface, the text area is no longer displayed on the playback interface, thus freeing up more space to display the virtual widget's transformation animation.

[0177] Optionally, the terminal displays the virtual widget's transformation animation in full-screen mode, where no information other than the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed. This information includes text areas, multimedia resources, and interactive controls for those resources.

[0178] Optionally, the terminal displays a mask on the playback interface, and displays the transformation animation of the virtual widget on the mask.

[0179] In this embodiment, when displaying the transformation animation of the virtual widget, the text area is removed to avoid interference from other information on the playback interface, thereby enhancing the visual impact of the animation, improving the interface display effect, and providing users with an immersive viewing experience, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, full-screen display of the virtual widget's transformation animation is supported, further increasing the vibrancy of the playback interface, adding unexpected surprises for users, and further enhancing the visual impact of the animation.

[0180] In some embodiments, a first close control is also displayed on the playback interface. This first close control, when triggered, cancels the display of the virtual widget's transformation animation. After canceling the virtual widget's transformation animation, the terminal can continue playing multimedia resources, directly jump to the virtual resource acquisition interface, or directly display the virtual resource acquisition result.

[0181] In step 303, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the virtual widget in a triggerable state. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual widget in a triggerable state, the terminal displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource.

[0182] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the transformation animation of the virtual widget is completed, the virtual widget in a triggerable state is displayed. After the virtual widget is triggered, the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource is distributed to the currently logged-in object. That is, the currently logged-in object will obtain the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource. Therefore, the terminal displays the result of obtaining the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource to prompt the user that the virtual resource has been received.

[0183] The method provided in this disclosure displays a virtual widget on the playback interface of a multimedia resource. When the virtual widget meets the interaction conditions, a transformation animation of the virtual widget is displayed. After the transformation animation is completed, the virtual widget can be triggered to claim virtual resources associated with the multimedia resource. Displaying this content while playing multimedia resources enriches the interface presentation, improves the interface display effect, increases the fun of playing multimedia resources, and thus enhances the user experience. Furthermore, it provides an interactive method for claiming virtual resources after watching an animation, increasing the fun of claiming virtual resources and encouraging user interaction with the virtual widget, thereby increasing user engagement.

[0184] Furthermore, the display shows a dynamic effect that transforms multiple virtual widgets into a target pattern composed of multiple virtual widgets, improving the visual effect, increasing the fun, and enhancing the user's viewing experience.

[0185] The following section will further elaborate on the solution provided in this disclosure based on a specific implementation method. Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for acquiring virtual resources according to an exemplary embodiment, the method being executed by a terminal, see [link to flowchart]. Figure 6 The method includes the following steps:

[0186] In step 601, the terminal displays a virtual widget on the multimedia resource playback interface.

[0187] In step 602, the terminal responds to the virtual widget meeting the interaction conditions by displaying a transformation animation of the virtual widget, which is used to present the dynamic effect of the virtual widget changing.

[0188] The process of steps 601-602 is the same as that of steps 301-302 above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0189] After the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal can execute any one of the following steps 603, 604, or 605.

[0190] In step 603, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the virtual widget in a triggerable state. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual widget in the triggerable state, the terminal displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource.

[0191] In some embodiments, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal also displays at least one of resource acquisition prompt information or resource acquisition record information. The resource acquisition prompt information prompts the user to claim virtual resources by triggering the virtual widget, while the resource acquisition record information displays any object for which virtual resources have been claimed. In this implementation, by displaying resource acquisition prompt information or resource acquisition record information, the event of acquiring virtual resources and its acquisition status are presented intuitively to the user, increasing information transparency, improving the display effect, attracting user attention, and facilitating user interaction with the virtual widget.

[0192] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another virtual widget according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the playback interface displays a virtual widget 701 that can be triggered. In addition, the playback interface also displays resource acquisition prompt information 702, resource acquisition record information 703, and a first close control 704.

[0193] In some embodiments, if multiple virtual widgets in a triggerable state are displayed, then step 303 includes: in response to a triggering operation on any of the displayed virtual widgets, displaying the acquisition result of the target virtual resource, where the target virtual resource is a virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource and the triggered virtual widget. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the playback interface can display two virtual widgets 701, and users can trigger either virtual widget 701 to claim virtual resources.

[0194] The association between target virtual resources and virtual widgets refers to the correspondence between the quantity or type of target virtual resources and virtual widgets. For example, different virtual widgets may correspond to the same or different quantities of virtual resources, and the types of virtual resources may be the same or different.

[0195] Optionally, when the terminal displays multiple virtual widgets, it displays resource information of the virtual resources associated with each virtual widget. Users can choose which virtual widget's associated virtual resources to claim based on the resource information.

[0196] In this embodiment, multiple triggerable virtual widgets are displayed. Users can trigger any virtual widget to claim virtual resources associated with that widget, providing users with freedom of choice, which helps to increase user engagement and enhance the fun of claiming virtual resources. Furthermore, by providing innovative gameplay and choices, it helps to guide users to interact with virtual widgets, improving the user experience.

[0197] In some embodiments, step 303 includes: in response to a triggering operation on a virtual widget in a triggerable state, displaying a flipping animation of the virtual widget, the flipping animation being used to flip the virtual widget; and displaying the acquisition result of the virtual resource on the flipped virtual widget. After the user performs a triggering operation on the virtual widget, the terminal flips the user-triggered virtual widget and displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource on the flipped virtual widget, thereby creating a dynamic effect of the user flipping the virtual widget.

[0198] Optionally, the terminal may play the corresponding sound effect while displaying the virtual widget's flipping animation.

[0199] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another virtual widget according to an exemplary embodiment, wherein the flipped virtual widget 801 is displayed on the overlay of the playback interface, and the flipped virtual widget 801 displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource.

[0200] In this embodiment, after a user triggers a virtual widget, a flipping animation is displayed, turning the widget over. The result of obtaining the virtual resource is then displayed on the flipped widget, improving the display effect of the result and enhancing the fun of obtaining the virtual resource, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, flipping the virtual widget adds an unexpected surprise to the user, which helps attract their attention. The ability to obtain a virtual resource simply by triggering any virtual widget achieves lightweight interaction and instant feedback, thus promoting interaction.

[0201] In some embodiments, the result of acquiring virtual resources includes at least one of the following: the amount of virtual resources, the resource acquisition activity to which the virtual resources belong, or the usage time of the virtual resources. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the result of acquiring virtual resources includes information such as resource amount, resource acquisition activity, and usage time, which increases the transparency of information and facilitates interaction.

[0202] For example, a virtual resource includes at least one sub-virtual resource, and the resource quantity includes at least one of the resource quantity of each sub-virtual resource or the total resource quantity. For instance, if a virtual resource includes multiple virtual resource vouchers, each with a certain resource quantity, then the acquisition result displayed on the terminal includes at least one of the resource quantity of each virtual resource voucher and the total resource quantity. In this embodiment of the disclosure, displaying the resource quantity of each sub-virtual resource achieves refined information display and improves information transparency. Displaying the total resource quantity achieves information aggregation and simplifies the interface display.

[0203] Resource acquisition activities, also known as activities that distribute virtual resources, display the resource acquisition activity to which the virtual resource belongs, including the activity theme and activity time. The usage time of the virtual resource includes at least one of the start and end times of use. Furthermore, the acquisition results may also include the scope of use of the virtual resource.

[0204] In some embodiments, the playback interface also displays a fourth duration prompt, i.e., after the fourth duration is displayed, the user is redirected to the usage interface. Optionally, this prompt is displayed on the usage controls of the virtual resource. For example, see [link to documentation]. Figure 8 The overlay on the playback interface also displays a prompt message 803 indicating the use of control 802 and the fourth duration.

[0205] Optionally, a second close control is also displayed on the playback interface. In response to triggering this second close control, the terminal cancels the display overlay and continues playing the multimedia resource on the playback interface. For example, see [link to previous section]. Figure 8 The top left corner of the overlay also displays a second close control 804.

[0206] In step 604, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays a virtual resource claiming control. The virtual resource claiming control is used to prompt users to claim virtual resources. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual resource claiming control, the terminal displays the acquisition result of the virtual resources associated with the multimedia resources.

[0207] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, a virtual resource claiming control can also be displayed to prompt the user to claim virtual resources, thereby improving the flexibility of the interaction.

[0208] In some embodiments, the virtual resource claiming control displays a resource acquisition prompt message, which prompts users to claim virtual resources by triggering the virtual resource claiming control.

[0209] In step 605, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal responds to the terminal's twisting operation and displays the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource.

[0210] In this embodiment of the disclosure, interaction is achieved through a simple twisting operation, which can improve the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0211] In some embodiments, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal also displays a resource acquisition prompt message, which prompts the user to claim virtual resources by performing a twisting operation on the terminal.

[0212] The method provided in this disclosure displays a virtual widget on the playback interface of a multimedia resource. When the virtual widget meets the interaction conditions, a transformation animation of the virtual widget is displayed. After the transformation animation is completed, the user can claim the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource. Displaying this content while playing multimedia resources enriches the interface presentation, improves the interface display effect, increases the fun of playing multimedia resources, and thus enhances the user experience. Furthermore, it provides an interactive method for claiming virtual resources by watching animations, increasing the fun of claiming virtual resources and encouraging user interaction with the virtual widget, thereby increasing user engagement.

[0213] The following section will further elaborate on the solution provided in this disclosure based on a specific implementation method. Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for acquiring virtual resources according to an exemplary embodiment, the method being executed by a terminal, see [link to flowchart]. Figure 9 The method includes the following steps:

[0214] In step 901, the terminal displays a virtual widget on the multimedia resource playback interface.

[0215] In step 902, the terminal responds to the virtual widget meeting the interaction conditions by displaying a transformation animation of the virtual widget, which is used to present the dynamic effect of the virtual widget changing.

[0216] The process of steps 901-902 is the same as that of steps 301-302 above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0217] After the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal can execute either step 903 or step 904 below.

[0218] In step 903, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the virtual widget in a triggerable state. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual widget in a triggerable state, the user interface of the virtual resource is displayed, and the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource is displayed on the user interface.

[0219] In response to a triggering operation on a triggerable virtual widget, the terminal on the playback interface redirects to the virtual resource usage interface, where the acquisition result of the virtual resource is displayed. In this embodiment, the virtual resource usage interface differs depending on the scope of use of the virtual resource.

[0220] In some embodiments, if the scope of use of the virtual resource is a target item, the user interface is the target item's details interface or exchange interface. The details interface is used to introduce the target item, and the exchange interface is used to exchange the target item.

[0221] Virtual resources are dedicated to a single target item, which can be an item within or outside the live stream. The scope of use for virtual resources is the target item; that is, virtual resources can be used to redeem the target item. Therefore, the interface for using virtual resources can be the details page of the target item, for example, see [link to example]. Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a details interface of a target item according to an exemplary embodiment. The details interface displays the virtual resource acquisition result 1001. Optionally, the details interface also displays a third close control. In response to triggering the third close control, the terminal returns to the playback interface to continue playing the multimedia resource. For example, see [link to previous section]. Figure 10 The top left corner of the details page displays a third close control, 1002.

[0222] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the virtual resource is dedicated to this one target item, thereby directly jumping to the details interface or exchange interface of the target item, making it convenient to use the virtual resource in the details interface or exchange interface, shortening the interaction path and improving the interaction efficiency.

[0223] In some embodiments, if the scope of use of the virtual resource is any item within the live stream, the user interface is the live stream interface of the live stream.

[0224] In this system, the live stream room is linked to multimedia resources. Multimedia resources are used to promote the target item; the live stream room is the live stream room of the provider of the target item, who offers the target item and other items. In other words, virtual resources are used for items within the live stream room of the provider of the target item. This links virtual resources with multimedia resources, broadening the scope of virtual resource usage and encouraging users to redeem items based on virtual resources. Alternatively, the live stream room can be the live stream room of the promoter of the target item, who promotes the target item and other items. In other words, virtual resources are used for items within the live stream room of the promoter of the target item. This links virtual resources with multimedia resources, broadening the scope of virtual resource usage and encouraging users to redeem items based on virtual resources.

[0225] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the virtual resource can be used for any item in the live broadcast room, thereby displaying the live broadcast interface of the live broadcast room. This makes it convenient to use the virtual resource for any item in the live broadcast room, shortens the interaction path, and improves the interaction efficiency.

[0226] In other embodiments, multimedia resources are used to promote target items, and the scope of use of virtual resources can also be any item provided by the provider of the target item, not limited to items within the live broadcast room.

[0227] In step 904, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the virtual widget in a triggerable state. In response to the triggering operation of the virtual widget in a triggerable state, the acquisition result of the virtual resource associated with the multimedia resource is displayed on the playback interface.

[0228] In response to a triggering operation on a triggerable virtual widget, the terminal displays the virtual resource acquisition result on the playback interface. For example, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the terminal displays the triggerable virtual widget on the playback interface. In response to a triggering operation on the triggerable virtual widget, the terminal displays a flipping animation of the virtual widget, and the flipped virtual widget is displayed on the playback interface. The virtual resource acquisition result is then displayed on the flipped virtual widget.

[0229] In some embodiments, after displaying the acquisition result of the virtual resource on the playback interface, a user interface for the virtual resource may be further displayed. Accordingly, at least one of the following may be included: (1) Displaying the user interface for the virtual resource in response to the display duration of the acquisition result reaching a third duration; (2) Displaying a user control for the virtual resource on the playback interface, and displaying the user interface for the virtual resource in response to a trigger operation on the user control. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after displaying the acquisition result, users can directly jump to the user interface for the virtual resource, shortening the interaction link, improving human-computer interaction efficiency, and facilitating the use of the virtual resource by the user on the user interface, thus promoting interaction.

[0230] The method provided in this disclosure displays a virtual widget on the playback interface of a multimedia resource. When the virtual widget meets the interaction conditions, a transformation animation of the virtual widget is displayed. After the transformation animation is completed, the virtual widget can be triggered to claim virtual resources associated with the multimedia resource. Displaying this content while playing multimedia resources enriches the interface presentation, improves the interface display effect, increases the fun of playing multimedia resources, and thus enhances the user experience. Furthermore, it provides an interactive method for claiming virtual resources after watching an animation, increasing the fun of claiming virtual resources, promoting user interaction, and thus increasing user participation.

[0231] Furthermore, after the virtual widget's transformation animation is displayed, the result of obtaining the virtual resource is directly displayed on the virtual resource's user interface or playback interface, shortening the interaction chain and improving interaction efficiency.

[0232] Figure 11 This is a block diagram illustrating a virtual resource acquisition device according to an exemplary embodiment. See also... Figure 11 The device includes a first display unit 1101, a second display unit 1102 and a third display unit 1103.
