[0097] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0098] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0099] Example 1

[0100] In order to solve the problem that the existing electronic reading has not yet broken away from the passive reading mode in the traditional reading mode, cannot achieve human-computer interaction, has a poor user experience, and easily causes users to gradually lose interest in reading during the reading process, the embodiment of the present application provides an interactive reading method.

[0101] The execution subject of the method may be various types of computing devices, or an application or application (Application, APP) installed on the computing device. The computing device may be, for example, a user terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, or a server.

[0102] For ease of description, the present application embodiment takes the execution subject of the method as an electronic reading client with an electronic reading function as an example to introduce the method. Those skilled in the art can understand that the present application embodiment takes the electronic reading client as an example to introduce the method, which is only an exemplary description and does not limit the protection scope of the claims corresponding to the present solution.

[0103] Specifically, the implementation process of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1a As shown, the following steps are included:

[0104] Step 11: Display the first plot content in the reading topic on the first reading interface.

[0105] The first reading interface refers to the current reading page that the user is currently browsing or reading in the electronic reading device, electronic reading software or electronic reading application.

[0106] The reading theme can be understood as the content used to convey information about the content, theme, style or emotional color of the electronic reading work. For example, if the electronic reading work is a novel, the reading theme can be the name of the novel, the name of the script corresponding to the novel, or the title of the novel.

[0107] The electronic reading works mentioned above refer to literary works, books or other forms of text content that can be read on electronic reading devices, electronic reading software or electronic reading applications. For example, they can be e-books, digital magazines and journals, online articles, scripts and blogs, etc.

[0108] The first plot content refers to a storyline or event content in the electronic reading work.

[0109] For example, Figure 1b FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first reading interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1b It can be seen that the user is currently browsing or reading the relevant content of the first chapter "Who Can Pity Duckweed" in the electronic reading work "Love in a Fallen City". At this time, Figure 1b The current reading page shown is the first reading interface; "Love in a Fallen City" displayed in the current reading page is the reading theme of the electronic reading work; secondly, "Who Can Pity the Duckweed" displayed in the current reading page is the name of a plot or event in the electronic reading work "Love in a Fallen City". Finally, "Shanghai, night falls, the ruined nobles in Baigongmen are like using an old clock that is one hour slow, and can never catch up with the pace of the times" displayed in the current reading page is the specific plot content of the first chapter "Who Can Pity the Duckweed" in the electronic reading work "Love in a Fallen City".

[0110] Step 12: When the first plot content includes the first virtual character, a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend is displayed.

[0111] The first virtual character refers to a character that appears in the electronic reading work and participates in the plot development, and plays a specific role or has a specific identity and personality (hereinafter described in detail, referred to as the character in the electronic reading work). It should be noted that the first virtual character can be a fictional character in the reading subject that does not exist in real life, or a real person that actually exists in real life or in history.

[0112] For example, taking the biographical work "Beethoven" written by Romain Rolland, the characters "Beethoven" and "Mozart" that appear in the biographical work refer to real people.

[0113] Or, taking the long mythological novel "Journey to the West" written by Wu Cheng'en as an example, the characters "Sun Wukong", "Zhu Bajie", "Sha Wujing" and "Tathagata" that appear in the novel are fictional characters, that is, fictional individuals who do not exist in real life.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, a virtual character list can be pre-built according to characters in the electronic reading work, and when the first plot content of the first reading interface includes the first virtual character in the virtual character list, a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend is displayed.

[0115] The friend adding control can be understood as an interactive interface element in the electronic reading device, electronic reading software or electronic reading application for adding the first virtual character as a friend. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the friend adding control can be a button represented by a plus icon or a similar symbol.

[0116] It should be noted that the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend may be bound to the identity information of the first virtual character, so different first virtual characters may be added as character friends through the friend adding controls corresponding to different first virtual characters.

[0117] For example, Figure 1c As shown, assuming that the electronic reading work is the electronic novel "Love in a Fallen City", and the virtual character list includes the character "Fourth Grandma", when the first plot content of the first reading interface includes the character "Fourth Grandma", a friend adding control for adding the character "Fourth Grandma" as a friend can be displayed. Figure 1c A button with a plus sign and a person icon displayed in the .

[0118] For example, Figure 1d As shown, assuming that the electronic reading work is the electronic novel "Dafeng Night Watchman", and the virtual character list includes the character "Cai Wei", when the first plot content of the first reading interface includes the character "Cai Wei", a friend adding control for adding the character "Cai Wei" as a friend can be displayed. Among them, the friend adding control for adding the character "Cai Wei" as a friend also displays Figure 1d The Add Character button is displayed.

[0119] It should be noted that the above Figure 1c and Figure 1dThe style of the friend adding control shown is merely an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application and does not impose any limitation on the embodiment of the present application.

[0120] In an optional implementation, it is considered that the reading topic may include multiple first virtual characters at the same time, and these multiple first virtual characters may run through the entire text of the reading topic, that is, they may appear repeatedly in multiple plot contents in the reading topic. At this time, if a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend is displayed each time each of the multiple first virtual characters appears, it may cause the friend adding control to be frequently displayed in the electronic reading interface, thereby affecting the user's reading experience. In order to avoid this problem, it can be set that when any of the following conditions (1) to (3) is met, the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend is displayed:

[0121] (1) The first virtual character is a preset important character, and the first virtual character appears for the first time in the reading topic.

[0122] The preset important roles may be characters that are pre-set according to actual needs and have an important influence on the plot and theme of the electronic reading work. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the protagonist, important supporting role or villain in the electronic reading work may be set as the preset important roles.

[0123] The first virtual character appears in the reading topic for the first time, that is, the first virtual character appears in the electronic reading work for the first time.

[0124] For example, assuming that the user is currently reading or browsing the first chapter of an electronic reading work, and the preset important character in the electronic reading work - protagonist A appears for the first time (first appearance) in the first chapter, then a friend adding control for adding protagonist A as a friend can be displayed at this time.

[0125] (2) The first virtual character is a preset important character, and the first plot content is an important segment in the reading topic.

[0126] Among them, important fragments include chapter fragments describing the turning points of the storyline, chapter fragments describing the climax / peak of the storyline, etc.

[0127] For example, assuming that the 89th chapter of an e-reading work that the user is currently reading or browsing is an important chapter of the e-reading work, and protagonist A appears in the chapter, where protagonist A is a preset important character in the e-reading work, then a friend adding control for adding protagonist A as a friend can be displayed at this time.

[0128] (3) The first virtual character does not appear in the reading topic for the first time, but the user has not added the first virtual character as a friend.

[0129] For example, suppose that an electronic reading work includes a first virtual character, and the first virtual character appears in Chapter 5, Chapter 12, and Chapter 36 of the electronic reading work, but the user did not add the first virtual character as a friend when the first virtual character appeared in Chapter 5 and Chapter 12. Then, when the user reads or browses to the content where the first virtual character appears in Chapter 36, a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend may be displayed.

[0130] From the above content, it can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, when any of the situations listed in (1) to (3) above is met, the electronic reading client with electronic reading function can be triggered to actively display a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend to the user.

[0131] In an optional implementation, in order to facilitate the user to quickly understand the image and personality characteristics of the first virtual character, the virtual image of the first virtual character, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and the friend adding control can be further displayed in the second reading interface.

[0132] The second reading interface refers to another new reading page after jumping from the first reading interface that the user is currently browsing or reading.

[0133] The virtual image of the first virtual character refers to a digital image that is created based on the character attributes of the first virtual character and can represent the first virtual character.

[0134] The text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character includes a brief description of the first virtual character, which is used to help users / readers quickly understand the first virtual character, establish a first impression of the first virtual character, and provide a basis for in-depth understanding of the plot and character behavior.

[0135] For example, Figure 1e As shown, in order to facilitate the user to quickly understand the image and personality characteristics of the first virtual character, in addition to displaying the friend adding control, the virtual image of the first virtual character, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, etc. can also be displayed in a falling / pop-up manner.

[0136] And, if Figure 1e As shown, in order to avoid obstructing the first plot content displayed on the first reading interface when displaying the virtual image of the first virtual character and the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, the present application, in an optional implementation, can further display the virtual image of the first virtual character, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and a friend adding control in the second reading interface.

[0137] Optionally, in one implementation, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character may be determined in the following manner: extracting chapter content corresponding to the first virtual character from the reading topic; and generating text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character based on the chapter content.

[0138] In an optional implementation, in order to enhance the user's reading experience, a background picture matching the first plot content may be displayed on the first reading interface, and / or background music matching the first plot content may be played on the first reading interface.

[0139] For example, using Figure 1b Taking the interface diagram shown in the figure as an example, since the first plot content displayed on the first reading interface is "Shanghai, night falls, the ruined nobles in Bai Gongmen are like using an old clock that is one hour slow, and can never keep up with the pace of the times", therefore, Figure 1b The background image in the story shows the landmark buildings or streets of Shanghai, which matches the location of Shanghai described in the first plot content; secondly, Figure 1b The background image in the film has dim lights or a sense of quietness unique to the night, which matches the description of "nightfall" in the first plot content; finally, Figure 1b The overall retro style of the background image in Figure 1b The old-fashioned furniture, decorations and other elements displayed in the film all match the atmosphere of the "fallen aristocracy" described in the first plot.

[0140] In addition to the above listed contents, Figure 1b The melancholy, nostalgic or lost emotions conveyed by the background image shown in the video, as well as the visual artistry (including composition, color and light and shadow effects), all match the content of the first plot mentioned above.

[0141] To sum up, in the embodiment of the present application, the background picture that matches the first plot content can be understood as the picture content itself, and the emotional color and visual artistry conveyed by the picture are all pictures that match the first plot content.

[0142] Correspondingly, the background music that matches the first plot content can be understood as music that can coordinate with the theme, emotion, atmosphere or specific scene of the first plot content. For example, assuming that the first plot content describes content related to war, the background music that matches the first plot content can be solemn or tragic music. For another example, assuming that the first plot content describes a cheerful dance scene, the background music that matches the first plot content can be elegant and cheerful music.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, by displaying a background image matching the first plot content on the first reading interface, and / or playing background music matching the first plot content on the first reading interface, on the one hand, it can help users / readers better immerse themselves in the story context. On the other hand, since music can evoke specific emotional responses, and the background music in the present application matches the first plot content, it can ensure that the background music matches the emotional tone of the first plot content, thereby deepening the user / reader's emotional resonance with the characters and the plot.

[0144] In an optional implementation, before the first reading interface displays the background image matching the first plot content, and before the first reading interface plays the background music matching the first plot content, the background image and background music matching the first plot content may be determined in the following manner:

[0145] Extracting character information and / or scene information from the first plot content;

[0146] Based on the character information and / or scene information, a background image and / or background music matching the first plot content is generated.

[0147] In an optional implementation, for the virtual image mentioned in the above content, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, the background picture matching the first plot content, and / or the background music, etc. can all be automatically generated by the electronic reading client through a large language model algorithm.

[0148] Among them, large language model algorithms refer to algorithms based on deep learning and natural language processing technology, which are designed to train models that can understand and generate human language. These models can usually use neural networks to process and generate text data. The core idea is to train the model through a large-scale corpus so that it can predict the next possible word or character sequence, thereby realizing automatic reasoning and generation of language.

[0149] In an embodiment of the present application, an algorithm based on deep learning and natural language processing technology can be used to train a model that can understand and generate a virtual image corresponding to the first virtual character, generate text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and generate background images and / or background music that match the first plot content.

[0150] For example, taking the training of a model that can understand and generate a virtual image corresponding to a first virtual character as an example, in an optional implementation, a large model base can be selected first, such as baichuan33B, baichuan4, etc., and then the large model base is trained based on virtual character sample data, such as the role attribute information of the virtual character sample (including the gender, age, image, clothing, body shape, etc. of the virtual character, as well as the time, space and other scene information related to the virtual character sample) and the virtual image sample of the virtual character sample, so that the trained model has the ability to output a virtual image. Thus, based on the role attribute information of the first virtual character, a virtual image corresponding to the first virtual character can be generated through the trained model.

[0151] For another example, taking the training of a model capable of understanding and generating textual introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character as an example, in an optional implementation, a large model base may be selected first, such as baichuan33B, baichuan4, etc., and then the large model base may be trained based on virtual character sample data, such as information such as chapter content corresponding to the virtual character sample in the reading topic, so that the trained model has the ability to output textual introduction content. Thus, based on the chapter description content related to the first virtual character, the textual introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character may be generated through the trained model.

[0152] Similarly, the method of training a model capable of generating background images and / or background music that matches the first plot content is similar to the above-mentioned method of training a model capable of generating a virtual image corresponding to the first virtual character, and the method of training a model capable of generating text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and will not be repeated here.

[0153] For example, in practical applications, character information and scene information related to virtual characters can be extracted from the target novel containing reading content, such as the gender, age, image, clothing, body shape, etc. of the virtual character, as well as scene information such as time and space; then, the character information and scene information are input into a pre-trained text-based image model (such as disffusion, etc.) to generate background information that matches the target reading content; and the background image information is sent to the reading client so that the reading client can display the background information.

[0154] Step 13, in response to a friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control, the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, so that the first virtual character can chat with the user.

[0155] The friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control refers to an instruction triggered by the user performing a specific operation (eg, clicking / pressing) on ​​the displayed friend adding control.

[0156] For example, using the above Figure 1d As an example, if it is detected that the user clicks / presses the friend adding control (i.e. Figure 1d At the same time, in response to the instruction to add friends to the first virtual character "Caiwei" triggered by the user, the user and the first virtual character "Caiwei" can be added as friends, so that the first virtual character "Caiwei" can chat with the user.

[0157] In an optional implementation, the first virtual character may be added to the user's virtual character friend list, wherein the virtual character friend list refers to a list or interface for recording and displaying virtual character friends in the electronic reading work added by the user.

[0158] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the first virtual character is added to the user's virtual character friend list, a prompt message indicating that the first virtual character has been added to the virtual character friend list may be displayed in the display area of ​​the friend adding control corresponding to the first virtual character.

[0159] For example, Figure 1f As shown, after the first virtual character is added to the user's virtual character friend list, the display area of ​​the friend adding control corresponding to the first virtual character "Caiwei" can display a prompt message "has been added to the character list in the play".

[0160] Alternatively, in an optional implementation, after the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character is added to the user's character friend information list, the user may be prompted that the first virtual character has been added to the user's virtual character friend list by graying out the friend adding control.

[0161] like Figure 1g As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the interface of a virtual character friend list provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1g In the game, "Xu Qian'an", "Xu Xinnian", "Wei Ma" and "Madame Tian Yongjiuzi" are all virtual character friends in the e-reading works added by users.

[0162] In an optional implementation, if the virtual character friend list is empty, that is, the user has not yet added any virtual character in the electronic reading work as a friend, then in order to increase the user's interest in the reading process, the reading content to be recommended can be displayed on the display interface of the virtual character friend list. In addition, some text can also be displayed on the interface, such as "No character yet, come and experience the story unlocking". Optionally, the number of reading contents to be recommended can be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

[0163] For example, Figure 1h As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of an interface for recommending reading content provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In an embodiment of the present application, if the virtual character friend list is empty, the reading content to be recommended can be displayed in the display interface of the virtual character friend list. For example, Figure 1h As shown, the recommended reading contents such as "The Poor Boy's Great Turnover", "The Story of Flower Shadow" and "Weathering with You" can be displayed on the display interface of the virtual character friend list. If the user is not interested in the currently recommended reading contents, he can also click the "Change Batch" button on the interface to change to a new batch of recommended reading contents.

[0164] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1i As shown, if the content of the display interface of the virtual character friend list fails to be pulled due to network problems, a prompt such as "Page loading failed, please try again" can be displayed to the user in a text display mode. When the user clicks the "Reload" button, the interface content of the virtual character friend list is reloaded and refreshed.

[0165] In an optional implementation, after the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, the first virtual character may chat with the user in a style corresponding to the role attribute of the first virtual character in the reading topic.

[0166] Among them, the role attributes of the first virtual character in the reading topic may include the first virtual character's appearance characteristics, personality traits, inner world (for example, the first virtual character's thoughts, emotions and deep inner feelings), background story (family background, growth experience), behavior (i.e. the first virtual character's behavior patterns and habits, such as movements, postures, daily activities, etc.), language style (i.e. the way and tone of the character's speech, including word choice, grammatical style, accent, etc.), values ​​and interpersonal relationships (i.e. the relationship between the first virtual character and other characters, including intimate relationships, conflict relationships, friendships, etc.) and other information.

[0167] For example, assuming that the role attribute of the first virtual character in the reading topic is a humorous character, the first virtual character will have a humorous or exaggerated tone when chatting with the user.

[0168] In an optional implementation, in response to a friend adding instruction triggered by a user based on a friend adding control, a first chat message between the first virtual character and the user may be generated, so that the user can chat with the first virtual character based on the first chat message. The first chat message may be, for example, an opening statement or a greeting. The first chat message may also be automatically generated by the aforementioned large language model algorithm.

[0169] For example, using the above Figure 1g Taking the interface diagram shown as an example, after the user and the first virtual character "Wei Ma" are added as friends, the first virtual character "Wei Ma" can generate the first chat message with the user "Are you here to accompany me?"

[0170] Alternatively, in an optional implementation, after adding the user and the first virtual character as friends, the user may also actively send a message to the first virtual character, thereby realizing chatting with the first virtual character.

[0171] Optionally, if multiple virtual character friends send multiple opening remarks or greetings to the user, the electronic reading client can display the chat information between the virtual character friends and the user in descending order according to the time when the chat information was sent.

[0172] Optionally, if the chat message is sent on the day when the user reads the electronic reading work, the specific time, such as the hour and minute, may also be displayed. Conversely, if the chat message is not sent on the day when the user reads the electronic reading work, only the month and day may be displayed without displaying the specific time and minute.

[0173] Optionally, when a new chat message is generated between a virtual character in the virtual character friend list and a user, a "red dot reminder" may be used to remind the user that a new chat message exists. Figure 1g As shown in the interface diagram, if a new chat message is generated between a virtual character in the virtual character friend list and a user, a "red dot reminder" can be used at the virtual character's avatar to prompt the user that there is a new chat message.

[0174] Optionally, when there are unread chat messages, the user can be prompted in the tab bar at the bottom of the interface where the virtual character friend list is located. Figure 1g As shown in the interface diagram shown in the figure, if there is unread chat information, a red dot can be used to remind the user in the bottom Tab bar of the interface where the virtual character friend list is located. Figure 1g A red dot is displayed under "Characters in the Play" in the bottom Tab bar of the interface where the character friend information list is located.

[0175] In an optional implementation, when a chat message is generated between the first virtual character and the user, a chat details interface between the first virtual character and the user may be displayed in response to a user's trigger operation on the chat message. For example, when it is detected that the user clicks on the chat message generated between the first virtual character and the user, or when it is detected that the user clicks on the avatar of the virtual character's friend, it is considered that the user performs a trigger operation on the chat message, and thus the chat details interface between the first virtual character and the user may be displayed in response to the user's trigger operation on the chat message.

[0176] For example, Figure 1j As shown, when it is monitored that the user clicks on the chat information between the user and the first virtual character "Xu Xinnian" on the virtual character friend list interface, or when the user clicks on the avatar of the virtual character friend "Xu Xinnian", it is considered that the user performs a trigger operation on the chat information, and thus the chat details interface between the first virtual character and the user can be displayed in response to the user's trigger operation on the chat information.

[0177] Optionally, the chat details interface between the first virtual character and the user may display information such as the avatar of the first virtual character, the avatar of the user, the text name of the electronic reading work to which the first virtual character belongs, the character name of the first virtual character, and the time when the chat message was sent.

[0178] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the user can be supported to delete the chat information between the user and the first virtual character. For example, in actual application, the user can trigger a chat information deletion operation on the chat information (for example, swipe right on the chat information) to delete the corresponding chat information.

[0179] Optionally, in order to prevent users from accidentally deleting chat information, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1k As shown, when a user triggers a chat message deletion operation, a prompt message can be sent to the user via a floating window, such as, "Are you sure you want to delete this message? It cannot be restored after deletion."

[0180] In an optional implementation, after the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, the reading interface can be immediately redirected from the current reading interface to the chat details interface between the user and the first virtual character. In this way, it can be ensured that after the user adds the first virtual character as a friend, he can immediately chat with the first virtual character, providing the user with a seamless experience from adding a friend to starting communication, reducing the time the user spends searching for the chat interface. In addition, the interaction between the user and the first virtual character can feel more immediate and direct.

[0181] like Figure 1l As shown, after adding the user and the first virtual character as friends, the reading interface can immediately jump to Figure 1lThe chat details interface shown may display the virtual image of the first virtual character, the role profile information of the first virtual character, etc. Moreover, the user may chat with the first virtual character in the chat details interface.

[0182] Optionally, when the character profile information of the first virtual character is relatively large, only part of the character profile information may be displayed in the chat details interface, such as only three lines of character profile information, and other character profile information may be hidden. When a user's request for complete display of the character profile information is received, the complete character profile information may be displayed.

[0183] Optionally, when the chat messages generated between the user and the first virtual character are too many and exceed the displayable area of ​​the chat details interface, part of the chat messages may be folded, for example, chat messages with an earlier sending time may be folded.

[0184] Optionally, when the user is chatting with the first virtual character, a virtual keyboard may be popped up to facilitate the user to input chat information.

[0185] Correspondingly, in another optional implementation, in order to prevent the user from being interrupted while reading a story or content and to maintain the continuity and immersion of reading, after the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, the reading interface may continue to be displayed without immediately jumping to the chat details interface between the user and the first virtual character. In this way, the continuity and immersion of the user's reading can be maintained, and the user can be prevented from being interrupted while reading a story or content.

[0186] By adopting the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a friend adding control of a virtual character corresponding to a virtual character in the reading content can be displayed; in response to a friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control, the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character is added to the user's character friend information list; when a chat message is generated between the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character in the character friend information list and the user, the chat message between the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character and the user is displayed. In this way, the interactivity and fun between the user and the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character in the reading content can be increased, thereby improving the user's immersive reading experience and increasing the user's reading interest.

[0187] On the other hand, the present application can also display a background image that matches the first plot content, and / or play background music that matches the first plot content. This can help users better immerse themselves in the story context, deepen the user's emotional resonance with the characters and plot, and thereby enhance the user's reading experience.

[0188] Example 2

[0189] In order to solve the problem that the existing electronic reading has not yet broken away from the passive reading mode in the traditional reading mode, cannot achieve human-computer interaction, has a poor user experience, and easily causes users to gradually lose interest in reading during the reading process, the embodiment of the present application provides an interactive reading method.

[0190] Specifically, the implementation process of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2a As shown, the following steps are included:

[0191] Step 21: Display a list of virtual characters included in the reading topic in the first reading interface.

[0192] The first reading interface refers to the current reading page that the user is currently browsing or reading in the electronic reading device, electronic reading software or electronic reading application.

[0193] The reading theme can be understood as the content used to convey information about the content, theme, style or emotional color of the electronic reading work. For example, if the electronic reading work is a novel, the reading theme can be the name of the novel, the name of the script corresponding to the novel, or the title of the novel.

[0194] The electronic reading works mentioned above refer to literary works, books or other forms of text content that can be read on electronic reading devices, electronic reading software or electronic reading applications. For example, they can be e-books, digital magazines and journals, online articles, scripts and blogs, etc.

[0195] The list of fictional characters can be understood as a list of characters that appear in the reading topic and participate in the development of the plot, and that play specific roles or have specific identities and personalities.

[0196] like Figure 2b As shown, when a user wants to read the electronic reading work "Cohabitation is Pleasant: Daily Life with Stunning Beauty", before the user reads the detailed content of the electronic reading work, the story introduction of the electronic reading work and the list of virtual characters included in the electronic reading work can be displayed to the user, for example, Figure 2b Characters in the play: Su Mingyang, Xiao Mu, Mu Yu, etc.

[0197] By displaying the story introduction of the electronic reading work and the list of virtual characters included in the electronic reading work, necessary background information can be provided to the user before the user starts reading, helping the user to better understand the story.

[0198] Step 22, in response to the user triggering the control corresponding to the first virtual character in the virtual character list, displaying the virtual image of the first virtual character, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend in the second reading interface.

[0199] The first virtual character corresponding control refers to an element of the user interface that allows the user to interact with the first virtual character. In the embodiment of the present application, the first virtual character corresponding control can be, for example, a character avatar, a character name, a character icon, a character card, or a preset button / link corresponding to the first virtual character.

[0200] The trigger operation refers to an action performed by the user on the control corresponding to the first virtual character, for example, a click or press operation performed by the user on the control corresponding to the first virtual character.

[0201] For example, taking the control corresponding to the first virtual character as a character avatar or a character name, when it is monitored that the user clicks or presses the character avatar or the character name corresponding to the first virtual character in the virtual character list, it can be considered that the user has triggered the control corresponding to the first virtual character in the virtual character list, and thus in response to the trigger operation, the virtual image of the first virtual character, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend can be displayed in the second reading interface.

[0202] Among them, the specific implementation content of displaying the virtual image of the first virtual character in the second reading interface, the text introduction content corresponding to the first virtual character, and the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend can refer to the relevant description in Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0203] Step 23, in response to a friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control, the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, so that the first virtual character can chat with the user.

[0204] The specific implementation content of step 23 can refer to the relevant description in Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0205] By adopting the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the interactivity and fun between the user and the virtual character corresponding to the virtual character in the reading content can be increased, thereby improving the user's immersive reading experience and increasing the user's reading interest.

[0206] Example 3

[0207] In order to solve the problem that the existing electronic reading has not yet broken away from the passive reading mode in the traditional reading mode, cannot achieve human-computer interaction, has a poor user experience, and easily causes users to gradually lose interest in reading during the reading process, the embodiment of the present application provides an interactive reading method.

[0208] Specifically, the implementation process of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 3a As shown, the following steps are included:

[0209] Step 31: If it is determined that the first plot content is a preset plot interaction point, a plot option window is popped up, and the plot option window includes a plurality of different second plot options connected with the first plot content.

[0210] The preset plot interaction points refer to key moments in the electronic reading works that are pre-designed and can significantly affect the development of the story. The events that occur at this moment, or the decisions made at this moment, will lead the story of the electronic reading work to develop in different directions.

[0211] For example, Figure 3b As shown, assuming that the first plot content in the electronic reading work "Love in a Fallen City" "The fourth master and the third master look at you at the same time, hoping that you will go back to attend the funeral, how do you plan to express your opinion" is a preset plot interaction point pre-buried in the electronic reading work "Love in a Fallen City", at this time, when the user reads / browses to the first plot content, a plot option window may pop up, and the plot option window may include multiple different second plot options connected with the first plot content. For example, Figure 3b As shown, the plot option window includes three reading plots, namely "expressing not wanting to be a laughing stock", "asking the Third Master the benefits of going back", and "insisting on refusing and threatening to die".

[0212] Step 32, receiving confirmation information from the user on the scenario option window, and generating and displaying second scenario content matching the confirmation information.

[0213] When the plot option window pops up on the reading interface, the user can select and confirm multiple different second plot options included in the plot option window that are connected to the first plot content. After receiving the user's confirmation information on the plot option window, the electronic reading client can generate and display the second plot content matching the confirmation information.

[0214] For example, Figure 3c As shown, when the user Figure 3c When the first plot option in the plot option window shown in the middle left figure is clicked / pressed, it means that the user sends confirmation information for the first plot option. At this time, the reading page can be jumped according to the user's confirmation information to display the second plot content matching the confirmation information, that is, Figure 3cThe middle right picture shows "You pretended to be calm and continued to embroider the shoes, but your hands were sweating and the needle was stuck and you couldn't pull it out."

[0215] For example, Figure 3d As shown, when the user Figure 3d When the second plot option in the plot option window shown in the middle left figure is clicked / pressed, it means that the user has sent a confirmation message for the second plot option. At this time, the reading page can be jumped according to the user's confirmation message to display the second plot content matching the confirmation message, that is, Figure 3d The middle right picture shows "(persuasion) Sixth sister, no matter what happened back then, now that the person is dead, don't bear a grudge, you are still a member of their family."

[0216] Optionally, the plot content displayed in the subsequent reading content will also change according to the second plot option selected by the user. The embodiment of the present application may include two situations: one is that different options are given in the plot option window, and after the user selects different second plot options based on the plot option window, the story development content corresponding to the selected second plot option can be seen, but after a different plot, the story development content of these different second plot options will converge again at a subsequent plot point; the other situation is that according to the different second plot options currently selected by the user, the subsequent generated chapters and endings change as a whole, that is, the ending also changes.

[0217] Optionally, the plurality of different second plot options include at least one input box option for receiving a personalized second plot summary input by a user.

[0218] The personalized second plot summary refers to a subsequent plot summary of the first plot content.

[0219] Optionally, receiving confirmation information from the user on the plot option window, and generating and displaying second plot content matching the confirmation information, specifically includes: receiving a personalized second plot summary input by the user in an input box option, and generating and displaying second plot content corresponding to the personalized second plot summary.

[0220] Optionally, displaying the second plot content that matches the confirmation information may include: acquiring abbreviated reading content or rewritten reading content of the second plot content that matches the confirmation information; and displaying the acquired abbreviated reading content or rewritten reading content.

[0221] In one embodiment, if the first plot content includes the first virtual character, and the first plot content is a preset plot divergence point, then in the embodiment of the present application, both a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend and a plot options window for the first plot content can be displayed. For example, in an optional implementation, a friend adding control can be displayed on the second reading interface; and a plot options window can be displayed on the third reading interface. The second reading interface is a reading page after jumping from the first reading interface; and the third reading interface is a reading page after jumping from the second reading interface.

[0222] For example, Figure 3e As shown, assuming that the user is currently reading / browsing the first chapter of the electronic reading work "Mobile Phone", at this time, Figure 3e As shown in the left picture in the first reading interface, the first plot content of the first chapter of the electronic reading work "Cell Phone" is displayed: "(Pulling up the cup beside him and preparing to smash it at you) I want to divorce you."

[0223] Next, since the first plot content "(pulling the cup beside him and preparing to smash it at you) I want to divorce you" contains the first virtual character "Yu Wenjuan", and the first plot content is a preset plot divergence point in the electronic reading work "Cell Phone", therefore, Figure 3e As shown in the middle figure in , the friend adding control for adding the first virtual character "Yu Wenjuan" as a friend can be displayed in the second reading interface first; then, Figure 3e As shown in the right picture in the figure, the plot options window is displayed in the third reading interface.

[0224] By using the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the first plot content is determined to be a preset plot interaction point, a plot option window may be popped up, and according to the user's confirmation information on the plot option window, a second plot content matching the confirmation information may be generated and displayed. In this way, the user may obtain a personalized reading experience and increase the user's sense of participation in the reading process.

[0237] The first virtual character chats with the user in a style corresponding to the role attribute of the first virtual character in the reading topic.

[0238] Optionally, the friend adding module 43 is specifically used for:

[0239] In response to a friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control, a first chat message between the first virtual character and the user is generated, so that the user can chat with the first virtual character based on the first chat message.

[0240] Optionally, the friend adding module 43 is further used for:

[0241] The first avatar is added to the user's avatar friend list.

[0242] Optionally, the device is also used for:

[0244] Optionally, the device further comprises:

[0245] An option window pop-up module is used to pop up a plot option window if it is determined that the first plot content is a preset plot interaction point, and the plot option window includes a plurality of different second plot options connected with the first plot content;

[0246] The plot content processing module is used to receive the user's confirmation information on the plot option window, and generate and display the second plot content matching the confirmation information.

[0247] Optionally, the plurality of different second plot options include at least one input box option for receiving a personalized second plot summary input by a user; then, the plot content processing module is specifically configured to:

[0248] The personalized second plot summary input by the user in the input box option is received, and the second plot content corresponding to the personalized second plot summary is generated and displayed.

[0249] Optionally, the device is further used to: display a background image matching the first plot content on the first reading interface, and / or play background music matching the first plot content on the first reading interface.

[0250] Optionally, the virtual image, text introduction content, the first chat message, the background picture matching the first plot content, the background music, and the second plot content are automatically generated by a large language model algorithm.

[0251] By using the device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first plot content in the reading topic can be displayed on the first reading interface; when the first plot content includes the first virtual character, a friend adding control for adding the first virtual character as a friend is displayed; in response to a friend adding instruction triggered by the user based on the friend adding control, the user and the first virtual character are added as friends, so that the first virtual character can chat with the user. In this way, the interactivity and fun between the user and the first virtual character in the first plot content can be increased, thereby improving the user's reading experience and increasing the user's reading interest.

[0252] On the other hand, when the first plot content is determined to be a preset plot interaction point, the present application may also pop up a plot option window, and generate and display a second plot content matching the confirmation information according to the user's confirmation information on the plot option window. In this way, the user can obtain a personalized reading experience and increase the user's sense of participation in the reading process.

[0253] In addition, the present application can also display background images that match the first plot content, and / or play background music that matches the first plot content. This can help users better immerse themselves in the story context, deepen their emotional resonance with the characters and plot, and thereby enhance their reading experience.
