[0026] As mentioned above, with the rapid development of computer technology, more and more applications and platforms are currently designed to provide users with various services, such as providing virtual space. In order to make users feel immersive, virtual objects can be presented in the virtual space, and users can control virtual objects to perform various actions in the virtual space, such as walking, running, squatting and jumping. However, a vivid virtual object often needs to perform multiple actions at the same time, for example, the virtual object waves both hands at the same time while running. In traditional solutions, virtual objects are usually not supported to perform multiple actions at the same time. Even if some solutions support virtual objects to perform multiple actions at the same time, these combined actions are pre-configured by the system and the number is very limited. In view of this, traditional solutions cannot support users to flexibly configure action combinations.

[0027] The embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an interactive scheme for virtual objects.

[0028] In the context of the present disclosure, the term "animation" may indicate one or more actions performed for a virtual object. For example, in some embodiments, an animation may indicate that a virtual object performs a waving action. In other embodiments, an animation may indicate that a virtual object performs a standing action in a robot mode and a running action in a super power mode. In addition, each animation may be presented separately or as a component of other animations.

[0029] Various example implementations of the solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example Environment

[0031] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110. In the example environment 100, an application 115 is installed in the electronic device 110. A user 140 may interact with the application 115 via the electronic device 110 and / or an attached device of the electronic device 110.

[0032] Application 115 can provide the user 140 with an integration of multiple applications or components. These applications can be used as application modules in application 115. In some embodiments, application 115 can be downloaded and installed as an application on electronic device 110. In some embodiments, application 115 can also be accessed in other ways, such as through a web page.

[0033] Application 115 may be any appropriate type of application capable of providing media content, examples of which may include but are not limited to: social applications, audio / video applications, media item playback applications, broadcast applications, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0034] exist Figure 1In the environment 100 of FIG. 1 , if the application 115 is active, the electronic device 110 can present an interactive page through the application 115. The interactive page can be a page of any appropriate type, which can support the user 140 to input any appropriate type of data and present media items of any media item type to the user 140. The interactive interface can include various interfaces that can be provided by the application 115, such as a parameter setting interface, a loading interface, a special effect display interface, and the like.

[0035] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can communicate with the server 130 to provide services for the application 115. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio receiver, an e-book device, a game device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0036] The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, etc. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 115 that supports virtual scenes in the electronic device 110.

[0037] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0038] A machine learning model 120 is deployed in the environment 100. The machine learning model 120 can be deployed on an appropriate electronic device. As an example, the machine learning model 120 can also be deployed on other electronic devices different from the server 130, and the server 130 can, for example, call the machine learning model 120 to perform the corresponding task by way of a service call. In another example, the machine learning model 120 can also be deployed locally on the server 130, for example.

[0039] As will be described in detail below, the electronic device 110 can use the machine learning model 120 to complete the creation of the virtual object. As an example, the electronic device 110 can call the machine learning model 120 through the server 130. As another example, the electronic device 110 can also directly call the machine learning model 120. In short, the present disclosure is not limited in terms of the deployment location and calling method of the machine learning model 120.

[0040] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0041] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example Interaction

[0043] Figures 2A to 3 200A to 300 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The example interfaces 200A to 300 may be, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided. It should be understood that Figures 2A to 3 The interactive interface shown is only an example, and various designs may exist in practice. For example, the various graphical elements and / or controls in the interactive interface may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more of the elements and / or controls may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements and / or controls may also exist. In addition, any appropriate content may be included in the user interface. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0044] Further, user 140 can switch and jump the interactive interface by activating the control / entry in each interactive interface or performing a predetermined operation in the interactive interface. It should be understood that the logic of switching and jumping the interactive interface can be set arbitrarily. For example, in an example embodiment, user 140 jumps from the first interactive interface to the second interactive interface by activating a control. In other embodiments, user 140 can jump from the first interactive interface to the third interactive interface by activating another control. The present disclosure is not limited in this respect. It should also be understood that although multiple interactive interfaces are described in a specific embodiment, any interactive interface described in the present disclosure can be independently implemented as a separate embodiment.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the application 115 may present a virtual object in an interactive interface. An example of a virtual object may be a virtual character. The user 140 may control the virtual object to perform various actions in the virtual space provided by the application 115, including moving, running, jumping, waving, shrugging, etc.

[0046] According to the embodiments discussed below in the present disclosure, the user 140 can flexibly configure one or more animations so that during the operation of the application, the virtual object can perform a combination of animations corresponding to multiple actions / postures according to the user's configuration. This flexible configuration allows the virtual character to perform various complex actions according to the user's expectations. In this way, according to the scheme discussed below in the present disclosure, the virtual object will be more vivid.

[0047] It should be understood that although the present disclosure describes some embodiments of the present disclosure by fusing the first animation and the second animation, in fact, the embodiments discussed in the present disclosure can be applied to the fusion of more animations. In other words, the present disclosure is not limited in the number of fused animations.

[0048] In operation, in response to the target state of the virtual object (e.g., running) being triggered, the electronic device 110 presents a first animation of the virtual object. During the target state of the virtual object, in response to the virtual object being triggered to perform a target virtual action (e.g., shrug and spread hands), the electronic device 110 determines a second animation corresponding to the target virtual action. Based on the fusion strategy of the first animation and the second animation, the electronic device 110 presents a third animation of the virtual object (e.g., shrug and spread hands while running), wherein the first animation and / or the second animation are determined based on the user's configuration operation. In this way, the user can freely configure multiple actions that need to be fused.

[0049] Next, the configuration process of the first animation is first described. In some embodiments, the first animation is configured based on the following process: the electronic device 110 presents a configuration window associated with the virtual object, and the configuration window is configured to present multiple groups of candidate animations corresponding to multiple preset states. In response to the selection of the first animation in a group of candidate animations corresponding to the target animation, the electronic device 110 associates the first animation with the target state of the virtual object.

[0050] See also Figure 2A The example interface 200A shown. In the example interface 200A, the electronic device 110 presents a configuration window 205. The configuration window 205 includes a plurality of preset states, for example, preset states 210-1 to 210-4. Further, each preset state corresponds to a set of candidate animations. Figure 2A In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the candidate animations corresponding to the preset state 210 standing are: boy standing, girl standing, superhero standing, superpower standing, etc. The user 140 can set a corresponding animation for each preset state.

[0051] In some embodiments, the user 140 can also preview candidate animations. As shown in the example interface 200A, when the user 140 selects the superpower standing 230, the virtual object 220 in the interactive interface stands in the manner of a superpower. The user 140 can set different animations for different preset states. Figure 2B The example interface 200B is shown. In the example interface 200B, the user 140 can set the super power run 270 for the preset state 250.

[0052] In the traditional solution, it is not supported to configure corresponding animations for different preset states of virtual objects. In the traditional solution, multiple virtual objects can be pre-configured in the application, such as superheroes and ninjas. If the user can only switch the virtual objects to achieve the desired animation effect. In this case, it is impossible to achieve that the virtual character stands in the way of a superhero and runs in the way of a ninja. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user 140 can select different animations for each preset state of the virtual object, so that the virtual character can have different target animations in different preset states.

[0053] Next, the configuration process of the second animation is described. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 presents a set of virtual actions in an action panel associated with the virtual object. In response to receiving a selection of a target virtual action in a set of virtual actions, the electronic device 110 triggers the virtual object to perform the target virtual action, that is, triggers the virtual object to perform the target virtual action in real time. In some embodiments, the set of virtual actions presented in the action panel includes at least one virtual action selected by the user from a virtual action library.

[0054] See also Figure 3 The example interface 300 shown. In the example interface 300, the electronic device 110 presents an action panel 305. The action panel presents a set of virtual actions, such as shouting, waving, pointing right hand to the sky, etc. If the user 140 selects the virtual action of shrugging and spreading hands 320, the electronic device 320 determines that the shrugging and spreading hands is the second animation. Figure 2B In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 110 triggers the virtual object 310 to perform a target virtual action 330 .

[0055] In some embodiments, in response to the virtual object being in the target state, the electronic device 110 disables at least one virtual action in the action panel that does not match the target state. For example, when the target state is running, the virtual action of crossing legs can be prohibited. In some cases, the prohibited virtual action can be in an unselectable state. In other cases, in response to the user selecting a prohibited action, the electronic device presents a prompt message indicating that the selected virtual action cannot be performed.

[0056] As discussed above, the electronic device 110 may present a third animation of the virtual object based on a fusion strategy of the first animation and the second animation. Figure 2A and 2B In an example embodiment of the present invention, the first animation of the virtual object may be a superpower running, and the second animation may be a shrug and hands-out. In this case, the third action may be an action of shrug and hands-out while running.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the final output animation may be formed in a layered form. Figure 4 The animation composition block diagram 400 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, a node may include an animation node and an operation node. The animation node may be an animation output node. Additionally, each animation node may also include a slot for accommodating one or more animation clips, and the animation clip in each slot may be freely replaced when the application is running. The operation node may define the operation logic.

[0058] Further, one or more nodes can constitute an animation subgraph. One or more animation nodes and / or one or more animation subgraphs can constitute a main graph. In this way, animation clips can be combined to form various actions to meet the needs of virtual objects performing diverse actions.

[0059] In some embodiments, the switching between the plurality of preset states is configured based on a state machine associated with the virtual object, and the plurality of preset states correspond to a plurality of state nodes in the state machine. In other words, in some embodiments, the first animation can be controlled by a state machine animation. Figure 5AThe state machine animation block diagram 500A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in block diagram 500A, the state machine may include multiple state nodes, each state node may correspond to one or more preset states, and the state machine may indicate the transition relationship between the various state nodes. The animation of the state node standing up may be Figure 2A Corresponding to the settings in , the state node can run with Figure 2B . Furthermore, in response to the first instruction of user 140, the state node standing can be switched to the state node running. By defining a state machine, a virtual object can complete basic operations in a virtual space. In a traditional solution, each virtual object corresponds to a state machine. In order to enable a virtual object to perform multiple actions, the state machine settings in a traditional solution are usually very complicated. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the state machine only needs to design a basic state node, so various additional actions can be dynamically superimposed on the state machine animation when the program is running.

[0060] Next, we will refer to Figure 5B An example embodiment of how to fuse a second animation with a first animation is discussed in detail by illustrating an animation fusion process diagram 500B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In a specific embodiment of diagram 500B, the output of the state machine node corresponds to the first animation, the output of the animation node corresponds to the second animation, the fusion node is used to execute the fusion strategy, and the output of the output node corresponds to the third animation.

[0061] In some embodiments, based on the fusion strategy of the first animation and the second animation, presenting the third animation of the virtual object includes: in response to the first group of parts corresponding to the first animation not overlapping with the second group of parts corresponding to the second animation, presenting the third animation of the virtual object based on the combination of the first animation and the second animation. As an example, if the first animation is a ninja standing and the corresponding parts are legs, and the second animation is shouting and the corresponding parts are mouths, then the third animation of the virtual object can be presented based on the combination of the first animation and the second animation.

[0062] In some embodiments, based on the fusion strategy of the first animation and the second animation, presenting the third animation of the virtual object includes: in response to the target part that the first group of parts corresponding to the first animation is associated with the second group of parts corresponding to the second animation, based on the priority of the first animation and the second animation, determining the part movement of the target part. Based on the part movement of the target part, the electronic device 110 presents the third animation of the virtual object. In some embodiments, based on the priority of the first animation and the second animation, determining the part movement of the target part includes: determining a target animation with a higher priority from the first animation and the second animation; and determining the part movement of the target part based on the movement corresponding to the target part in the target animation. As an example, if the first animation is a superpower running and the corresponding parts are the upper body and the lower body, the second animation is a shrug and the corresponding part is the upper body. Further, if the priority of the second animation association is higher than the priority of the first animation, the lower body of the virtual object is a superpower running, and the upper body is a shrug and the hands are spread.

[0063] In some embodiments, based on the priority of the first animation and the second animation, determining the fusion action of the target part includes: in response to the priority information of the first animation and the second animation satisfying a preset condition, based on the weight information of the first animation and the second animation, fusing the movement of the target part in the first animation and the second animation to determine the part movement of the target part, wherein the weight information is indicated by the fusion strategy.

[0064] By properly configuring the fusion strategy, the virtual character can perform multiple actions simultaneously according to the user's instructions, thereby making the virtual object more vivid. In particular, according to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, only a simple state machine animation needs to be pre-written, and different actions played on different parts of the body are encapsulated into animation nodes. When the application is running, the user only needs to specify the animation of the corresponding body part to be played, that is, the body animation can be integrated with the state machine animation, such as playing the shrugging and spreading hands action on the upper body while running.

[0065] In some embodiments, in order to make the action of the virtual object more coordinated, the output of the third animation may further include a transition animation. In other words, when the virtual object executes the first animation, if an instruction to execute the second animation is received, the transition animation is first executed, and the third action is executed after the transition animation ends. In this way, the action of the virtual object is made more coordinated and smooth.

[0066] Further references Figure 6 , which shows an animation update block diagram 600 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 110 sequentially performs various operations of the update block diagram 600 within a frame period. Figure 6As shown, the electronic device 110 performs fixed updates, updates, preparation frames, pre-delay updates, and delayed updates. In this way, in response to the user's instruction to perform a specific action (e.g., shrugging and spreading hands), the electronic device 110 can quickly integrate the action into the current action of the virtual object (e.g., running with a determined state).

[0067] Example Process

[0068] Figure 7 FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example interaction process 700 in a virtual scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 700 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. Figure 1 700 is described below.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first animation is configured based on the following process: presenting a configuration window associated with the virtual object, the configuration window being configured to present multiple groups of candidate animations corresponding to multiple preset states; and in response to selection of a first animation from a group of candidate animations corresponding to the target animation, associating the first animation to the target state of the virtual object.

[0070] In some embodiments, switching between the plurality of preset states is configured based on a state machine associated with the virtual object, and the plurality of preset states correspond to a plurality of state nodes in the state machine.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 presents a set of virtual actions in an action panel associated with the virtual object; and in response to receiving a selection of a target virtual action in the set of virtual actions, triggers the virtual object to perform the target virtual action.

[0072] In some embodiments, in response to the virtual object being in a target state, the electronic device disables at least one virtual action in the action panel that does not match the target state.

[0073] In some embodiments, the set of virtual actions presented in the action panel includes at least one virtual action selected by the user from the virtual action library.
