[0021] Example Environment

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110.

[0023] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 130 that supports virtual scenes. Application 130 may be any suitable type of application for presenting virtual scenes, and examples may include, but are not limited to, simulation applications, analog applications, game applications, virtual reality applications, augmented reality applications, etc. The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect.

[0024] When application 130 is a game application, it includes, but is not limited to, first-person shooter (FPS) games, multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, strategy simulation (SLG) games, simulation management games, etc. User 140 can interact with application 130 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0025] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 130 is active, electronic device 110 can present interface 150 associated with the virtual environment through application 130.

[0026] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 120 to provide services to application 130. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the target user (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0027] Server 120 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

In the embodiments of this disclosure, two devices with data transmission relationships can achieve signaling interaction through their communication connection.

[0029] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0030] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0031] Example Interaction

[0032] The following will be referenced Figures 2A-2D To describe an example interaction process according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figures 2A to 2D Example interfaces 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Interfaces 200A to 200D may be, for example, provided by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present as follows: Figure 2A The interface 200A shown can be, for example, an interactive interface for a virtual scene. A virtual scene is a virtual environment that simulates the real world or an imagined space. Virtual scenes can include, but are not limited to, various types of game scenes, interactive scenes, simulation scenes, or modeling scenes. Virtual scenes can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, etc., which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0034] In some embodiments, the interactive interface can be an interface presented based on any appropriate triggering operation, which can be an operation related to the start of interaction input by the user, or any other appropriate operation. For example, if the virtual scene is a game scene, the electronic device 110 can respond to receiving an operation from the user confirming the start of interaction (e.g., the user can click the "Start Interaction" selection control in the interactive interface) and present the interactive interface of the virtual scene.

[0035] In some embodiments, the interactive interface may present a virtual object 201 (e.g., a virtual character controlled by the user). The virtual object may be a virtual character selected by the user or a virtual character assigned by default by the electronic device 110, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present multiple regions in the interface 200A, which can be used to present any appropriate number of elements. Figure 2A As an example, electronic device 110 may display element 221 in area 210 of interface 200A and element 222, etc., in area 211 of interface 200A.

[0037] In some embodiments, these multiple elements may be associated with one or more preset operations, which may indicate multiple virtual actions triggered by the preset operations to improve the intuitiveness of the virtual actions.

[0038] In some embodiments, the preset operation can be any appropriate operation that triggers the virtual action. It should be noted that the preset operation of the virtual action corresponding to the triggering element 221 (an example of the first preset operation) and the preset operation of the virtual action corresponding to the triggering element 222 (an example of the second preset operation) can be the same or different.

[0039] In some embodiments, the preset operation can be an operation input based on a first operating component in a predetermined interactive manner. The first operating component can be any suitable component, such as a mouse, keyboard, VR controller, a physical component of a gamepad, etc. For example, taking the left mouse button as the operating component, the preset operation for triggering the virtual action corresponding to element 221 can be clicking element 221 with the left mouse button, and the preset operation for triggering the virtual action corresponding to element 222 can be clicking element 222 with the left mouse button.

[0040] In some embodiments, virtual actions can be any appropriate action that can control virtual objects. Taking a game scene as an example, the corresponding virtual actions could be moving a character, attacking an opponent, picking up items, etc. In some embodiments, different elements may correspond to different virtual actions. Figure 2A As an example, electronic device 110 can respond to receiving a left mouse click on element 221 by triggering virtual object 201 to fire an arrow in a virtual scene. Electronic device 110 can also respond to receiving a left mouse click on element 222 by triggering virtual object 201 to move its position in the virtual scene.

[0041] In some embodiments, the interactive interface can be associated with interactive events in a virtual scene (e.g., match events in a multiplayer game). The electronic device 110 can present a configuration interface associated with the virtual object before the virtual object joins the interactive event; for example, a user can configure the virtual object's virtual actions before entering a multiplayer game. Furthermore, during the period when the virtual object joins the interactive event, the electronic device 110 can disable the configuration interface associated with the virtual object.

[0042] As examples, the way electronic device 110 disables the configuration interface associated with the virtual object may include, but is not limited to, preventing the display of the configuration interface to the user, or displaying the configuration interface but preventing the user from interacting with the configuration interface, etc.

[0043] In some embodiments, the multiple virtual actions corresponding to these multiple elements can be determined from a preset set of virtual actions via a configuration interface associated with the virtual object. The preset set of virtual actions may include multiple sets of virtual actions. In response to the selection of a target set of virtual actions from among the multiple sets of virtual actions, the electronic device 110 can determine the virtual actions included in the target set of virtual actions as the multiple virtual actions corresponding to these multiple elements. When the electronic device 110 presents an interactive interface, it can display at least these multiple virtual actions' multiple elements in the interactive interface.

[0044] by Figure 2AAs an example, electronic device 110 can acquire a first operation associated with element 221 based on a third operation of the first actuating component. Further, electronic device 110 can, in response to receiving the first operation associated with element 221, present as follows: Figure 2B The interface 200B is shown. The third operation can be any suitable operation, which can be an operation triggered by the first manipulation component. As an example, the electronic device 110 can obtain the first operation associated with element 221 based on a long press operation of the left mouse button. Of course, the first operation can also be obtained based on other operations of controls other than the first manipulation control, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] In some embodiments, although both the first preset operation and the first operation are triggered by the first operating component, they correspond to different interaction methods. As an example, the first preset operation may be associated with a first interaction method corresponding to the first operating component, and the first operation may be associated with a second interaction method corresponding to the first operating component, and the first interaction method and the second interaction method are different. The second interaction method is the interaction method corresponding to the third operation.

[0046] Furthermore, the first interaction method can indicate that the pressing duration of the first control component is less than a first threshold, and the second interaction method can indicate that the pressing duration of the first control component is greater than a second threshold. The first threshold is less than or equal to the second threshold. For example, the first preset operation can be a left mouse button click, and the first operation can be a left mouse button long press.

[0047] by Figure 2B As an example, electronic device 110 may, in response to receiving a first operation associated with element 221, present an element list 230 corresponding to the first preset operation in interface 200B. That is, this element list 230 may include element 221, element 230-1, element 230-2, and element 230-3. In some embodiments, elements 230-1, 230-2, and 230-3 may indicate multiple virtual actions. Figure 2B As an example, elements 230-1, 230-2, and 230-3 can indicate the action of firing arrows of different types.

[0048] In some embodiments, these multiple virtual actions and the virtual action corresponding to element 221 are all triggered based on a first preset operation. For example, elements 221, 230-1, 230-2, and 230-3 are all triggered based on a left mouse click.

[0049] To improve the flexibility of interaction, in some embodiments, after receiving a first operation associated with element 221, electronic device 110 may, in response to the virtual object's object information meeting preset conditions, present element list 230 in interface 200B. If electronic device 110 responds to the virtual object's object information meeting preset conditions, it will not present the corresponding element list in interface 200B.

[0050] In some embodiments, object information may include, but is not limited to, information corresponding to a virtual character (the profession of a virtual object in a virtual scene), interaction state information, and configuration information, etc. Interaction state information may include, but is not limited to, combat state and non-combat state, etc. Configuration information may be a pre-configured interactive interface of the electronic device 110 that allows the presentation of a list of elements including that element upon receiving a first operation associated with that element.

[0051] As an example, electronic device 110 can display a list of elements 230 in interface 200B in response to the virtual object's corresponding occupation being a predetermined occupation.

[0052] As another example, electronic device 110 may be configured to allow element 221 to be displayed when a first operation associated with element 221 is received. In this case, electronic device 110 may display element list 230 in interface 200B in response to receiving the first operation associated with element 221.

[0053] by Figure 2B As an example, the element list 230 can also present status information associated with multiple virtual actions. In some embodiments, the status information can indicate whether the corresponding virtual action is currently supported to be triggered and / or whether the corresponding element is currently supported to be selected. As an example, the status information can include the triggering status of the virtual action, which includes being triggered and not being triggered. Further, if the virtual action is triggered, the status information can also include the cooldown time of the virtual action, etc., to characterize how long the virtual action needs to wait before it can be triggered again. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display in the element list 230 that an element is currently not supported to be selected in a predetermined form, such as displaying the element as grayed out.

[0054] by Figure 2BAs shown, during a third operation (e.g., a long press of the left mouse button), the electronic device 110 can adjust the selection state of elements in the element list 230 in response to receiving a fourth operation on the second manipulation component. The second manipulation component can be the same as or different from the first manipulation component. The second manipulation component can be any suitable component, such as a mouse, keyboard, VR controller, or a physical component of a gamepad. The selection state can include a selected state and an unselected state. Taking a mouse as an example, the fourth operation can be scrolling the mouse wheel. Taking a keyboard as an example, the fourth operation can be using a keyboard shortcut, where different shortcuts correspond to different elements in the element list 230.

[0055] by Figure 2B As an example, a user can scroll the mouse wheel to position the cursor at element 230-3 in element list 230. At this point, electronic device 110 can determine that element 230-3 is currently selected, while other elements are unselected. Alternatively, the user can press keyboard shortcut key 4 to position the cursor at element 230-3 in element list 230. In this case, electronic device 110 can determine that element 230-3 is currently selected, while other elements are unselected.

[0056] It should be noted that the relative positions of the elements in element list 230 can change in real time based on the fourth operation of the second manipulation component. Alternatively, the relative positions of the elements in element list 230 may not change with the fourth operation of the second manipulation component.

[0057] by Figure 2B As an example, the relative positions of the elements in element list 230 do not change with the fourth operation on the second control component. That is, regardless of what operation the electronic device 110 receives, the relative positions of the elements in the element list remain unchanged. Figure 2B The layout is shown. The electronic device 110 can change the relative position of the positioning cursor in the element list 230 based on a fourth operation of the second manipulation component. At this time, the selection state of each element changes based on the position of the positioning cursor. Furthermore, the element positioned by the cursor is selected, while other unpositioned elements are unselected.

[0058] by Figure 2CAs an example, the relative positions of each element in the element list 230 can change in real time based on the fourth operation of the second manipulation component, while the position of the positioning cursor remains unchanged. Specifically, the positioning cursor can be fixed at a predetermined position in the element list 230. The predetermined position can be any suitable position, such as the position of the topmost element in the element list. The electronic device 110 can adjust the positions of each element in the element list 230 based on the fourth operation of the second manipulation component, thereby changing the element positioned by the positioning cursor.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine the second element selected in the element list 230 in response to the end of the third operation (e.g., releasing the left mouse button). For example, if the cursor is positioned at the location of element 230-3, the electronic device 110 may determine the completion of the selection of element 230-3 in response to the release of the left mouse button.

[0060] by Figure 2D As an example, electronic device 110 can switch region 210 to display element 230-3 and stop displaying element list 230 based on the selection of element 230-3.

[0061] Based on this approach, embodiments of this disclosure can utilize a limited number of interaction types to support richer virtual actions in virtual scenes, thereby improving the interaction efficiency in virtual scenes.

[0062] Example process

[0063] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a process 300 of interaction in a virtual scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 300 can be implemented at electronic device 110. Reference is made below. Figure 1 Describe the process 300.

[0064] In frame 310, electronic device 110 presents an interactive interface associated with a virtual object. The interactive interface presents a first element corresponding to a first preset operation in a first area. The first element indicates the first virtual action triggered by the first preset operation.

[0065] In box 320, in response to receiving a first operation associated with a first element, electronic device 110 presents a list of first elements corresponding to the first preset operation in an interactive interface. The list of first elements presents multiple elements including the first element, and the multiple elements indicate multiple virtual actions associated with the first preset operation.

[0066] In box 330, based on the selection of the second element among multiple elements, the electronic device 110 switches the first area to display the second element and stops displaying the list of the first elements.

[0067] In box 340, electronic device 110 responds to receiving a first preset operation by triggering a virtual object to perform a second virtual action corresponding to the second element in the virtual scene.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first element list also presents status information associated with multiple virtual actions, the status information indicating at least whether the corresponding virtual action is currently supported to be triggered and / or whether the corresponding element is currently supported to be selected.

[0069] In some embodiments, the interactive interface presents a third element corresponding to a second preset operation in a second area, and process 300 further includes: in response to receiving a second operation on the third element, presenting a list of second elements corresponding to the second preset operation in the interactive interface, the list of second elements presenting a set of elements including the third element, the set of elements indicating multiple virtual actions associated with the second preset operation; based on the selection of a fourth element in the set of elements, switching the second area to present the fourth element and stopping the presentation of the list of second elements; and in response to receiving the second preset operation, triggering a virtual object to perform a third virtual action corresponding to the fourth element in a virtual scene.

[0073] In some embodiments, process 300 further includes: during the third operation, adjusting the selection state of an element in the first element list in response to receiving a fourth operation on the second manipulation component; and determining the second element selected in the first element list in response to the end of the third operation.

[0074] In some embodiments, a first interaction mode indicates that the pressing duration of the first control component is less than a first threshold, and a second interaction mode indicates that the pressing duration of the first control component is greater than a second threshold.

[0075] In some embodiments, multiple virtual actions are determined from a preset set of virtual actions via a configuration interface associated with a virtual object.

[0076] In some embodiments, the interactive interface is associated with an interactive event in the virtual scene, the configuration interface is presented before the virtual object joins the interactive event, and the configuration interface associated with the virtual object is disabled during the interactive event.

Figure 4 A schematic structural block diagram of an interactive device 400 for use in a virtual scene according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Device 400 may be implemented as or included in the electronic device 110 discussed above. Various modules / components in device 400 may be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof.
