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

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110 .

[0025] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interaction in a virtual scene. The application 120 may be any suitable type of application for interaction in a virtual scene, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, game applications or other suitable applications. The user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[0032] Example Interaction

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

[0034] In some embodiments, in response to a target virtual object being added to a target virtual event in a virtual scene, the electronic device 110 provides a character selection window associated with the target virtual object, and the character selection window presents at least one character associated with the target virtual event.

[0035] As an example, a virtual event may indicate a preset interactive activity in a virtual scene. Such preset interactive activities may include environmental information, role information, background information, and interactive actions that need to be performed by virtual objects associated with the user or other virtual objects (e.g., virtual objects of other users or non-player characters (NPC), etc.). For example, taking a virtual event associated with a wedding event as an example, the virtual event may include environmental information associated with the wedding scene (e.g., wedding venue, flowers, etc.), role information (e.g., bridegroom, bride, host, guests, etc.), background information (e.g., the love experience of the bridegroom and the bride), and interactive actions (e.g., wearing a ring, taking photos, holding wedding-related ceremonies, etc.).

[0036] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, Figure 2AThe character selection window 200A of some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. When the target virtual object is added to the target event in the virtual scene, the electronic device 110 can overlay and present the character selection window 200A in the virtual scene. The character selection window 200A includes multiple characters associated with the target virtual event. The multiple characters associated with the virtual event are divided into a first type of character 201 and a second type of character 202. The first type of character 201 is associated with the target virtual event. For example, the target event is a wedding event, and the first type of character provided to the user by the electronic device 110 may be a role such as a groom, a bride, a host, etc. associated with the wedding event. The second type of character 202 may be a plurality of virtual characters associated with the virtual scene, such as explorers, boxers, bartenders, etc. The second type of character 202 may not be associated with the target virtual event, and the electronic device 110 may provide the same second type of character 202 to the user in any virtual event.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 updates the role information of the target virtual event in response to receiving a selection of a first role among the at least one role.

[0038] As an example, Figure 2A As shown, after the electronic device 110 receives the user 140's selection of the first character 203, the electronic device 110 may present the character introduction of the first character in the character selection window 200A. The character introduction of the first character includes at least one virtual item 204 associated with the first character, a preset action 205, a preset message, and character description information 206 of the first character. For example, the first character is an "explorer", and the virtual props associated with the "explorer" character may be, for example, a trekking pole, the preset actions include climbing and camping, the preset message may be, for example, "I was here", and the character description information may be: "a resourceful explorer".

[0039] Furthermore, after receiving the user 140's selection of the role selection control 207, the electronic device 110 may associate the target virtual object with the first role and update the role information of the target virtual event.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 triggers the start of the target virtual event based on the updated role information. As an example, after the role information of the target virtual event is updated, the electronic device 110 can send a target virtual event start request to the server 130 so that the server 130 starts the target virtual event. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the user with a role selection window, and the user can select the role he plays in the virtual event by himself. This interactive method increases the user's sense of participation and immersion, making the user's experience in the virtual scene richer.

[0041] In some embodiments, the start condition of the target virtual event may be associated with the number of virtual objects participating in the target virtual event. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may trigger the start of the target virtual event in response to the number of virtual objects associated with the target virtual event reaching a threshold. As an example, the target virtual event may be a running event, and the electronic device 110 may trigger the start of the target virtual event in response to the number of virtual objects participating in the target virtual event reaching 8.

[0042] In some embodiments, the starting condition of the target virtual event may be associated with a preset role. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may also trigger the start of the target virtual event in response to the preset role in the target virtual event being associated with a virtual object. As an example, the target virtual event may be a wedding event, and the preset condition for starting the target virtual event may be that the bridegroom and the bride are associated with different virtual objects.

[0043] By setting the start conditions of the target virtual event, the resources in the virtual scene can be used and allocated more effectively, thus avoiding unnecessary waste of resources.

[0044] In some embodiments, the target virtual event is initiated based on the user's interactive operation. Figure 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 may present a virtual event selection window 200B superimposed on the virtual scene. The electronic device 110 may receive a selection of the event initiation control 208 by the user 140, and present a set of virtual events to be initiated 209. The virtual events may be, for example, wedding events, mountain climbing events, outing events, etc. The electronic device 110 may initiate the virtual event 210 in response to the user 140's interactive operation (e.g., click) on the virtual event 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, the target virtual event includes a virtual event that is periodically initiated. As an example, different virtual events are associated with different locations in the virtual scene, and the server 130 can periodically (e.g., once an hour) initiate the target virtual event at the target location. For example, the server 130 can initiate a wedding event in a hall in the virtual scene once an hour.

[0046] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a prompt message in response to the target object moving to a target position associated with a target virtual event in the virtual scene. Further, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object to join the target virtual event in response to receiving a preset operation on the prompt message.

[0047] As an example, after the virtual object is moved to the target position, the electronic device 110 may present a prompt message whether to start the target virtual event. Further, after receiving a message to determine to start the target virtual event, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object to join the target virtual event.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a set of candidate virtual events, the set of candidate virtual events including initiated virtual events and / or started virtual events. Further, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object to join the target virtual event in response to receiving a selection of a target virtual event in the set of candidate virtual events.

[0049] As an example, Figure 2B As shown, the first interactive interface 200B also includes an event joining control 210. After receiving the user 140's selection of the event joining control 211, the electronic device 110 can present multiple virtual events initiated or started by other users. Further, the electronic device 110 can control the target virtual object to join the target virtual event in response to receiving the selection of the target virtual event.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine whether the target virtual object is at the target position corresponding to the target virtual event in response to the start of the target virtual event. Further, the electronic device 110 may move the target virtual object to the target position in response to the target virtual object not being at the target position. As an example, when the target virtual event starts, the electronic device 110 may obtain the virtual coordinates of the virtual object. When it is determined that the virtual coordinates of the virtual object do not match the virtual coordinates corresponding to the target position, the electronic device 110 may move the target virtual object to the target position.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may provide a set of controls corresponding to the first character during the target virtual event. Further, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object to perform an operation corresponding to the first control in the virtual scene in response to receiving a selection of the first control in the set of controls. Figure 2C As shown, Figure 2CAn example screen 200C of a virtual scene of some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Screen 200C includes a target virtual object 212. The electronic device 110 may provide a set of controls 213 corresponding to the first character during the target virtual event. After receiving the user 140's selection of the first control 214, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object 212 to perform related operations in the virtual scene. For example, the first control 214 is a control for indicating a "laughing" action. After the first control 214 is selected, the electronic device 110 may control the target virtual object 212 to perform a "laughing" action.

[0052] In some embodiments, a group of interactive controls includes: a group of item controls, a group of action controls, and a group of message controls. A group of item controls is used to trigger the target virtual object to use corresponding virtual items. A group of action controls is used to trigger the target virtual object to perform corresponding preset actions. A group of message controls is used to trigger the target virtual object to send corresponding preset messages.

[0053] As an example, Figure 2C As shown, the target object 212 can be associated with the "explorer" character, for example. The first control 214 in a group of interactive controls 213 can indicate a virtual item (e.g., a trekking pole) associated with the "explorer" character, and the first control 214 can be used to trigger the target virtual object 212 to use the trekking pole. In some scenarios, the first control 214 can also indicate a preset action (e.g., camping) associated with the "explorer" character, and the first control 214 can be used to trigger the target virtual object 212 to perform the action of camping. In other scenarios, the first control 214 can also indicate a preset message (e.g., "I was here") associated with the "explorer" character. The first control 214 can be used to trigger the target virtual object 212 to send a "I was here" message.

[0054] In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 may switch the control type in a group of interactive controls 213 in response to a user 140 performing a target operation on a group of interactive controls 213. For example, the electronic device 110 may switch the first control 214 from an item control to an action control in response to a user 140 performing a sliding operation on the first control 214.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may move at least one virtual object in the interactive area associated with the target virtual event to a preset position outside the interactive area before the start of the target virtual event. Further, the electronic device 110 may adjust the environmental data associated with the interactive area based on the target virtual event. As an example, the environmental data may be weather data, scene presentation effects, etc. in the interactive area.

[0056] In some embodiments, before the adjustment of the environmental data is completed, the electronic device 110 can stop the virtual object from entering the interactive area. Further, the electronic device 110 can open the interactive area in response to the completion of the adjustment of the environmental data. As an example, before the adjustment of the environmental data is completed, the electronic device 110 can prohibit the virtual object from moving into the range of the interactive area until the environmental data is adjusted.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may end the target virtual event in response to the end condition of the target virtual event being met. The end condition includes: reaching the duration corresponding to the target virtual event, and / or the virtual object in the target virtual event completes a preset action. As an example, the target virtual event may be, for example, a wedding event, and the end condition of the wedding event may be, for example, the exchange of wedding rings between the bride and groom. In the wedding event, after the first virtual object associated with the groom and the second virtual object associated with the bride perform the action of exchanging wedding rings, the electronic device 110 may end the wedding event.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can move the target virtual object to the historical position before joining the target virtual event in response to the end of the target virtual event, or keep the virtual object at the current position. As an example, the target virtual event can be a wedding event, and the interactive area of ​​the wedding event is the auditorium in the virtual scene. The historical position can be a beach in the virtual scene. When the wedding event is received, the electronic device 110 can move the target virtual object from the auditorium to the beach.

[0059] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to select corresponding characters in virtual scenes to participate in interactive events, and can automatically trigger the start of events based on character information, thereby improving the interaction efficiency between users and virtual scenes and enhancing the user's interactive experience.
