[0019] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0020] It should be noted that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0021] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0022] The embodiments of this disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition, and / or use. All of these aspects comply with applicable laws, regulations, and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of this disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, forwarding, and use are conducted with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, in implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of any data or information that may be involved should be communicated to the user and their authorization obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means. The specific methods of notification and / or authorization may vary depending on the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0023] In this specification and the embodiments, any processing of personal information will be carried out only under the premise of legality (such as obtaining the consent of the personal information subject, or being necessary for the performance of a contract), and will only be carried out within the scope stipulated or agreed upon. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that necessary for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0024] As described above, users can interact with various types of virtual objects through a computer within a virtual environment provided by the computer. For example, in some games, users control virtual objects to perform different virtual actions in a virtual scene through different operations (e.g., different key presses).

[0025] With the advancement of computer technology, the number of virtual actions achievable in games is increasing, enriching the user's interactive experience. However, this diversification of interactions also means that users need to master a greater variety of operations, increasing the difficulty of operation and thus affecting the efficiency of interaction between users and virtual objects.

[0026] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure propose an interaction scheme in a virtual scene. According to this scheme, in an interactive interface associated with a virtual object, a first set of elements corresponding to a first preset operation can be presented. The first set of elements corresponds to a first set of virtual actions pre-configured to be associated with the first preset operation, wherein the first element in the first set of elements presents a first style. Further, in response to receiving a switching request associated with the first preset operation, a second element in the first set of elements can be switched from a second style to a first style, wherein the second element is determined from the first set of elements based on the switching request. Further, in response to receiving the first preset operation in the interactive interface, the virtual object can be triggered to execute the first virtual action corresponding to the second element in the virtual scene.

[0027] Based on this approach, embodiments of this disclosure can support richer virtual actions in virtual scenes using a limited number of interaction types, thereby reducing the user's interaction learning cost and improving the interaction efficiency in virtual scenes.

[0028] Example Environment

[0029] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110.

[0030] In this example environment 100, an application 120 is installed on an electronic device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices. The application 120 can be an application that supports user interaction, such as a game application, or any other suitable application.

[0031] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, application 120 can provide a presentation interface 150 for user 140.

[0032] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0033] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or 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, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 that support content presentation in electronic devices 110.

[0034] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus, and Wi-Fi connections; the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0035] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0036] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0037] Example Interaction

[0038] The following will be referenced Figure 2 To describe an example interaction process according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 Example user interface 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. User interface 200 may be, for example, provided by [the present disclosure]. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, electronic device 110 can, for example, present virtual objects 210. As some examples, virtual objects include two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects suitable for interaction in a virtual scene. As an example, a virtual scene may include a game scene, and virtual objects may include virtual characters within the game scene. For ease of understanding, this disclosure uses a game scene as an example for illustrative purposes; it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, this disclosure can also be applied to virtual reality scenes, simulation scenes, and so on.

[0040] Taking a game scenario as an example, the electronic device 110 can display one or more labels on the interactive interface 200. For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the configuration interface 200 can display tabs such as 221 (Start) and 222 (Skill). As examples, the electronic device 110 can display the corresponding interface in response to a user's trigger action on any tab.

[0041] As examples, electronic device 110 may display the interactive interface 200 by default and switch to the corresponding interface upon receiving an operation on another tag. Electronic device 110 may also display the interactive interface 200 in response to a user's selection of tag 221.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can enter an interactive interface associated with the virtual object 210 in response to user triggering operations such as the control 231 (training) or the control 232 (start) in the interactive interface 200. Such an interactive interface allows users to control the virtual object to perform some virtual actions in the virtual scene presented by the interactive interface.

[0043] The following combination Figure 3 To describe the interaction process according to embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 3 An example interactive interface 300 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The interactive interface 300 may be, for example, provided by [the present disclosure]. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, electronic device 110, for example, responds to a user's trigger operation on control 232 (Start) and presents an interactive interface 300 associated with virtual object 210. The interactive interface 300 may display virtual object 210 in a virtual scene. Virtual object 210 may be associated with one or more preset operations so that the user can control the virtual actions of virtual object through one or more preset operations.

[0045] As examples, the presentation of the interactive interface 600 can represent the entry of a virtual object into an interactive event. For instance, the presentation of the interactive interface 600 can represent a virtual object 210 entering a multiplayer game match event, where the match event can include at least multiple users A associated with multiple different virtual objects. As an example, multiple users B can be associated with the same faction to cooperate in completing the virtual event. Alternatively, multiple users can be associated with different factions to compete against each other.

[0046] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 displays elements corresponding to one or more preset operations in the element display area 310 of the interactive interface to improve the intuitiveness of virtual actions. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the electronic device 110 can display elements 311, 312, and 313 corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click," and elements 321, 322, and 323 corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click." Elements 311, 312, and 313 can correspond to a set of virtual actions associated with the preset operation "right mouse click." Elements 321, 322, and 323 can correspond to another set of virtual actions associated with the preset operation "left mouse click."

[0047] For ease of understanding, element 311 can correspond to virtual action A, element 312 can correspond to virtual action B, element 313 can correspond to virtual action C, element 321 can correspond to virtual action M, element 322 can correspond to virtual action N, and element 323 can correspond to virtual action P. It should be understood that the specific identification numbers in this disclosure are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure, and will not be repeated hereafter.

[0048] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can present a first style for one of multiple elements corresponding to a preset operation, and a second style for the other elements corresponding to the preset operation, to represent the virtual actions supported by the preset operation at the current moment. To improve objectivity, the first style and the second style are different styles, such as different element sizes.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, a user can trigger a "right mouse click" or a "left mouse click" to control the virtual object to perform a corresponding virtual action. For example, if the user triggers a "right mouse click," the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform the virtual action A corresponding to element 311. As another example, if the user triggers a "left mouse click," the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform the virtual action M corresponding to element 321.

[0050] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 controls the virtual object 210 to perform other virtual actions by supporting the reception of switching requests for preset operations and switching the element presenting the first style among multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation.

[0051] The following reference Figures 4A to 4B The following describes the switching process of some embodiments of this disclosure. Figures 4A to 4B A schematic diagram of switching processes 400A to 400B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Switching processes 400A to 400B can, for example, be implemented in... Figure 3 The elements are displayed in area 310.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 4A As shown, a user can trigger a switching operation associated with a preset operation "right-click," and the electronic device 110 thereby generates a switching request associated with the preset operation "right-click." For example, the switching operation could be triggered by the user pressing the "Q" key.

[0053] Therefore, electronic device 110 can receive a switching request associated with the preset operation "right-click". Through this switching request, electronic device 110 can switch element 322 from the second style to the first style.

[0054] As examples, the handover request may also be generated by the electronic device 110. For instance, the handover request may be generated based on the execution of a first handover task in the electronic device 110. Furthermore, the handover request may be generated in other ways and sent to the electronic device 110, which is not limited by the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0055] Based on this, the electronic device 110 can present the following to the user: Figure 4A The element layout shown includes element 312 presented in the first style and element 311 presented in the second style.

[0056] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a switching request associated with a preset operation, the electronic device 110 may adjust the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation on the interactive interface to more intuitively present the virtual actions performed by the virtual object 210 supported by the preset operation at the current moment.

[0057] As examples, the display order can be designed according to the actual interface design, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the display order. For example, the display order can be to prioritize displaying elements presenting a first style and randomly display elements presenting a second style. As another example, the display order can be based on a switching request, cyclically adjusting the display order of multiple elements corresponding to preset operations associated with the switching request, and so on.

[0058] by Figure 4A For example, electronic device 110 can receive a switching request associated with the preset operation "right-click". Through this switching request, electronic device 110 can adjust the display order of elements 311, 312, and 313 to element 312, element 313, and element 311, so as to display elements 311, 312, and 313 in a loop.

[0059] Based on this, the user can trigger a preset operation "right-click" to control the virtual action B of the virtual object 210. Specifically, when the user triggers the preset operation "right-click", the electronic device 110 responds by receiving the preset operation "right-click" in the interactive interface, triggering the virtual object 210 to perform the virtual action B corresponding to element 312 in the virtual scene.

[0060] Thus, users can control multiple virtual actions of the virtual object 210 through a preset operation, "right-clicking the mouse," without needing to master three operations. This reduces the difficulty of operation for users and increases their operation speed, thereby improving the efficiency of interaction between users and the virtual object.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4B As shown, the user can also trigger a switching operation for the preset operation "left mouse click," thereby generating a switching request with respect to the preset operation "left mouse click." For example, the switching operation could be the user pressing the key "E." For ease of distinction, the switching request for the preset operation "right mouse click" can be considered the first switching request, and the switching request for the preset operation "left mouse click" can be considered the second switching request.

[0062] Therefore, in response to receiving a second switching request for the preset operation "right mouse click", the electronic device 110 can switch the virtual actions that can be triggered by the preset operation "left mouse click", as well as the display style and display order of the elements 321, 322, and 323 corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click". For specific implementation methods, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0063] by Figure 4B For example, in response to receiving a switching request associated with a preset operation "left mouse click", the electronic device 110 can present element 322 in a first style and element 321 in a second style. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can adjust the display order of elements 321, 322, and 323 to element 322, element 323, and element 321, to cycle through the display of elements 321, 322, and 323.

[0064] Based on this, the electronic device 110 can respond to receiving a preset operation "right-click" in the interactive interface, triggering the virtual object 210 to perform the virtual action B corresponding to the element 312 in the virtual scene. For specific implementation, please refer to the above embodiment of the electronic device 110 receiving the preset operation "left-click".

[0065] Therefore, users can control more virtual actions of the virtual object 210 with fewer preset operations, further reducing the difficulty of operation and increasing the speed of operation, thereby further improving the interaction efficiency between the user and the virtual object.

[0066] As shown in the above embodiments, users can independently control multiple sets of virtual actions through multiple preset operations. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also couple multiple preset operations of the user to improve the accuracy of user interaction with the interactive interface. Specifically, the electronic device 110 receives a first switching request for the preset operation "right-click". Based on the first switching request, the electronic device 110 can adjust not only the display style and display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "right-click", but also the display style and display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "left-click".

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a first switching request for a preset operation "right-click", restore the elements 321, 322, and 323 corresponding to the preset operation "left-click" to a preset initial display style (e.g., element 321 is presented in a first style and element 322 is presented in a second style), initial display order (e.g., the display order of element 321-element 322-element 323), etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, in response to the same first interactive operation, trigger the generation of a first switching request and a second switching request to further reduce the types of operations.

[0069] As examples, the first interactive operation is used to control multiple sets of virtual actions in a coordinated manner. For instance, when a user presses the "Q" key, the electronic device 110 can generate a first switching request and a second switching request to control virtual actions A / B / C and virtual actions M / N / P in a coordinated manner.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also generate a first switching request and a second switching request based on the same switching task. For example, based on the execution of the same timed task, the electronic device 110 may automatically generate the first switching request and the second switching request at a set time.

[0071] The following combination Figures 5A to 5BTo describe the switching process according to some other embodiments of this disclosure. Figures 5A to 5B The following are shown switching processes 500A to 500B according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. Switching processes 500A to 500B can be implemented, for example, in... Figure 3 The elements are displayed in area 310.

[0072] As some examples, such as Figure 5A As shown, before the user triggers the first interactive operation (e.g., the user triggers the key "Q"), the electronic device 110 presents element 311 corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click" and element 321 corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click" in a first style, and presents elements 312, 313, 322 and 323 in a second style.

[0073] Furthermore, the user triggers the key "Q". The electronic device 110 can respond to the user triggering the key "Q" by generating a first switching request and a second switching request. In response to receiving the first switching request and the second switching request, the electronic device 110 can switch elements 313 and 323 to the first style.

[0074] In some embodiments, in response to a first switching request and a second switching request, the electronic device 110 can switch elements 311 and 321 to the second style, and adjust the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click" and the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click".

[0075] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can automatically return the elements to their original positions after the first interactive operation ends. Continuing with the previous example, after the first interactive operation ends, the electronic device 110 can switch elements 311 and 321 to the first style, and elements 313 and 323 to the second style. Furthermore, after the first interactive operation ends, the electronic device 110 can adjust the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click" to element 313-element 311-element 312, and adjust the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click" to element 323-element 321-element 322.

[0076] Therefore, users do not need to manually reposition elements. This greatly improves the accuracy of user interaction with virtual objects.

[0077] As some examples, such as Figure 5BAs shown, the electronic device 110 can also generate a third switching request and a fourth switching request in response to the user triggering the "E" key. In response to receiving the third and fourth switching requests, the electronic device 110 can switch elements 312 and 322 to the first style, switch elements 311 and 321 to the second style, and adjust the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click" and the display order of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click," etc. For specific implementation details, please refer to the above embodiments.

[0078] Therefore, in response to the first interactive operation / the end of the interactive operation, the electronic device 110 can adjust the display style, display order, etc. of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "right mouse click", and adjust the display style, display order, etc. of multiple elements corresponding to the preset operation "left mouse click". Based on this method, the embodiments of this disclosure can further reduce the types of user operations, improve the accuracy of interaction, and thus further improve the interaction efficiency between the user and virtual objects.

[0079] In some embodiments, the switching request may also be triggered based on a continuous interactive operation. Based on this, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual action to execute the virtual action corresponding to the switched element during the period when the continuous interactive operation is triggered. Furthermore, during the period when the continuous interactive operation is not triggered, the electronic device 110 can also control the virtual action to execute the virtual action corresponding to a preset default element.

[0080] Taking the user continuously pressing the "Q" key as an example, such as Figure 5A As shown, during the period when the user continuously presses the "Q" key, the electronic device 110 can detect whether the user has triggered a preset operation "right-click". If the user triggers the preset operation "right-click", the electronic device 110 can trigger the virtual object 210 to perform the virtual action C corresponding to element 313 in the virtual scene.

[0081] Therefore, the electronic device 110 can prevent users from being unclear about the virtual actions supported by the current preset operation due to switching elements multiple times, thereby further improving the accuracy of user interaction with virtual objects and improving the efficiency of user interaction with virtual objects.

[0082] It should be understood that the layout of elements in the embodiments of this disclosure is for ease of understanding only and should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The identifiers for elements, virtual actions, etc. in this disclosure are only for differentiation and should not be construed as a limitation of the elements, virtual actions, etc. of this disclosure.

[0083] As some examples, element layout can be as follows Figure 4A / Figure 4B As shown, this is a multi-line element, or as... Figure 5A / Figure 5B As shown, this is a symmetrical multi-row element layout. Element layout can also be done as follows: Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the element layout according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the element layout can be multiple groups of elements that are symmetrical from left to right and presented in a row. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the element layout.

[0084] Back Figure 2 In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 also supports configuring virtual actions of the virtual object before it enters the interactive interface, in order to improve the quality of the virtual actions. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can respond to a user's trigger operation on the control 232 and present a configuration interface associated with the virtual object to the user.

[0085] In some embodiments, the interactive interface can be associated with interactive events in a virtual scene (e.g., match events in a multiplayer game). The electronic device 110 can present a configuration interface associated with the virtual object before the virtual object participates in the interactive event. For example, a user can configure virtual actions for the virtual object before entering a multiplayer game.

[0086] Furthermore, during the period when the virtual object participates in the interactive event, the electronic device 110 can disable the configuration interface associated with the virtual object. This configuration function allows embodiments of this disclosure to improve the quality of virtual actions while ensuring the accuracy of user interactions in the interactive interface, thereby guaranteeing the efficiency of user interaction with the virtual object.

[0087] As examples, the electronic device 110 disables the configuration interface associated with the virtual object in ways including, but not limited to, prohibiting the presentation of the configuration interface to the user, or presenting the configuration interface but prohibiting the user from interacting with it. Based on this approach, embodiments of this disclosure can present a first group of elements corresponding to the first preset operation in the interactive interface, without needing to assign an operation to each element in the first group, reducing the number of operations the user needs to master, thereby improving the interaction efficiency in the virtual scene. Furthermore, embodiments of this disclosure, by presenting the first element in a first style, or presenting the second element in a first style based on a switching request, enable the virtual actions currently supported by the first preset operation to be distinguished more quickly and intuitively, reducing the difficulty of operation and further improving the interaction efficiency in the virtual scene.

[0088] It should be understood that the specific interaction methods mentioned in the above embodiments (e.g., specific mouse operations, specific keyboard key positions, etc.) are merely exemplary, and this disclosure is not intended to limit them.

[0089] Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure can support richer virtual actions in virtual scenes using a limited number of interaction types, thereby reducing the user's interaction learning cost and improving the interaction efficiency in virtual scenes.
