[0048] Figure 2 is a flow chart of an interactive method in a virtual space according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ,The interactive method in the virtual space is applied in the terminal and includes the following steps.

[0049] In step 201, in response to a selection operation on a target virtual item in a virtual space, the terminal displays a plurality of additional virtual items in the virtual space.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the virtual space may be a virtual live studio or a virtual room, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The virtual space may provide a variety of interactive methods such as following the anchor object of the virtual space, joining a fan group, sharing the virtual space, giving virtual items or shopping, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The audience object of the virtual space can perform the above-mentioned multiple interactive behaviors in the virtual space through the terminal operated by itself, thereby interacting with the anchor object in the virtual space.

[0051] In the process of giving away virtual items, the terminal can display multiple virtual items in the virtual space for selection by the audience object in the virtual space. When the target virtual item among the multiple virtual items is selected, the terminal displays multiple additional virtual items on the basis of displaying the multiple virtual items. Each additional virtual item can be combined with the target virtual item and given away by the audience object to the host object. The disclosed embodiments do not limit the target virtual item and the additional virtual items.

[0052] In step 202, when at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, in response to an item sending operation, the terminal displays a combination effect between the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item in a virtual space.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the target virtual item is selected, the audience object can also select at least one additional virtual item from the above-mentioned multiple additional virtual items to give as a gift. When the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item are selected, in response to the item sending operation, the terminal displays a combination effect between the target virtual item and the selected at least one virtual item in the virtual space. The combination effect can show the association relationship between the target virtual item and the at least one virtual item, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style of the combination effect.

[0054] The disclosed embodiments provide an interactive method in a virtual space. In the process of an audience object in the virtual space presenting a target virtual item to an anchor object, a plurality of additional virtual items can be provided to the audience object, so that the audience object can select at least one additional virtual item from the plurality of additional virtual items according to its own needs, combine it with the target virtual item and present it to the anchor object, and display the combination special effects between the target virtual item and the selected at least one additional virtual item. This not only enables the presentation of a plurality of different virtual items at one time, thereby improving the presentation efficiency of virtual items, thereby facilitating the improvement of the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object, but also increases the fun and interactivity in the process of presenting items, thereby facilitating the satisfaction of the audience object's demand for customized virtual items, and by displaying the combination special effects corresponding to the virtual items, the viewing experience of the virtual space is enhanced, thereby facilitating the improvement of the interactive experience between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0055] In some embodiments, displaying a combined special effect between the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item includes at least one of the following: Displaying the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item together; Displaying and moving the target virtual object along with at least one additional virtual object; A label for at least one additional virtual item is displayed on the target virtual item.

[0056] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the combined special effect between the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item can be that all virtual items are spliced ​​together, or moved together, or labels of other virtual items are displayed on one virtual item, etc. By displaying the combined special effect, not only the donated virtual item is intuitively displayed, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of information transmission, but also the content of the virtual space can be enriched, and the viewing experience of the virtual space can be improved, thereby facilitating an enhanced interactive experience between the host object and the audience object.

[0057] In some embodiments, the joint position, movement direction, and label display manner of the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item are related to the attributes of the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item.

[0058] The solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the specific display style of the combined special effect, that is, the display content such as the splicing position, movement direction and label display method between the virtual objects, according to the properties of the target virtual object and the at least one additional virtual object, so that the combined special effect is more matched and accurate with the target virtual object and the at least one additional virtual object, and the display effect is better, which is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object.

[0059] In some embodiments, there are multiple additional virtual items selected; Displaying the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item together includes: Displaying multiple additional virtual items spliced ​​together with the target virtual item in a target order; The plurality of additional virtual items are connected one by one according to the target sequence, and the first additional virtual item indicated by the target sequence is spliced ​​together with the target virtual item.

[0060] According to the solution provided by the disclosed embodiment, multiple additional virtual items can be connected in a string in a target order and spliced ​​together with the target virtual item, which not only enables the composed combined special effects to clearly display the various virtual items given away and improves the efficiency of information transmission, but also makes the composed combined special effects novel in style, enhances the viewing experience of the virtual space, and helps to improve the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object.

[0061] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: The target visual element is displayed in the virtual space as the background of the combined special effect, and the target visual element is used to present the virtual scene where the combined special effect is located.

[0062] The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment can, on the basis of displaying the combined special effects, also display the target visual elements as the background of the combined special effects, so as to provide a virtual scene for the display of the combined special effects, and more intuitively and strongly reflect the impact of the audience object's behavior of giving virtual items on the virtual space, which is conducive to improving the viewing and fun of the virtual space and the audience experience, thereby helping to improve the interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the target visual element includes at least one of the following: The target visual element matches the target virtual object; The target visual element is related to the regional list to which the anchor object in the virtual space belongs.

[0064] According to the solution provided by the disclosed embodiment, the target visual element can be matched with the target virtual item. Since the combination special effect is related to the target virtual item, the combination special effect is guaranteed to a certain extent to match the background of the combination special effect (i.e., the target visual element), so that the picture is more harmonious and the display effect is better when the combination special effect and the target visual element are displayed, which is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object.

[0065] Alternatively, the target visual element may also be related to the regional list to which the anchor object belongs. By displaying the target visual element, the audience objects in the virtual space can quickly learn about the regional list to which the anchor object belongs, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission, thereby enabling the audience objects to interact with the anchor object more quickly to improve the ranking of the anchor object in the regional list, which is beneficial to improving the interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience objects and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: When the display duration of the combined special effects does not reach the preset duration, if a gift behavior for the associated virtual items occurs in the virtual space, the special effects of the associated virtual items will be displayed in addition to the display of the combined special effects; The associated virtual item is a separate target virtual item, or the associated virtual item is a combined virtual item consisting of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item.

[0067] According to the solution provided by the disclosed embodiment, if the display duration of the combination special effect does not reach the preset duration, when a new gifting behavior for similar virtual items appears in the virtual space, the special effects of the newly gifted virtual items can be displayed on the basis of the original combination special effects. This not only ensures the display duration of the original combination special effect, so that the objects in the virtual space have sufficient time to see the combination special effect and thus clearly obtain the gifted virtual items, but also the special effects of the later gifted virtual items can be directly displayed without waiting for the display of the special effects of the previous virtual items, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission; and the screen can display the special effects of multiple similar virtual items at the same time, thereby improving the screen utilization rate.

[0068] In some embodiments, on the basis of displaying the combined special effects, the special effects of the associated virtual items are displayed, including at least one of the following: Displaying the special effects of the associated virtual items in an area outside the display area of ​​the combined special effects; A target visual element is displayed in the virtual space as the background of the combined special effects. On the basis of displaying the combined special effects, the special effects of the associated virtual items are displayed in the virtual space as the foreground of the target visual element. The target visual element is used to present the virtual scene where the special effects are located.

[0069] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure displays the special effects of the associated virtual items in an area outside the display area of ​​the combined special effects, so that the display of the combined special effects and the special effects of the associated virtual items do not affect each other, so that objects in the virtual space can accurately know each virtual item that has been given, thereby improving the accuracy of information transmission.

[0070] Alternatively, when displaying a special effects background (target visual elements), the special effects of the associated virtual items are displayed as the foreground, which also makes it easier for objects in the virtual space to accurately know the various virtual items that have been given, thereby improving the accuracy of information transmission; and on the basis of displaying the special effects corresponding to each virtual item, displaying the target visual elements can more intuitively and strongly reflect the impact of the audience object's behavior of giving virtual items on the virtual space, which is conducive to improving the viewing, fun and audience experience of the virtual space, thereby helping to improve the interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: When the display time of the combined special effect reaches the preset time, if the display time of the associated virtual item has not reached the preset time, the special effects of the target visual element and the associated virtual item will continue to be displayed, and will no longer be displayed after the display time of the combined special effect reaches the preset time.

[0072] According to the solution provided by the disclosed embodiment, whenever the display duration of any special effect reaches a preset duration, the special effect will disappear from the virtual space, while other special effects and target visual elements serving as the background of the special effect will continue to be displayed without being affected, thereby ensuring that the virtual space can be in an atmosphere of gifting combined virtual items or target virtual items for a long time, which is conducive to improving the viewing experience, fun and audience experience of the virtual space, thereby facilitating the participation of audience objects, and further facilitating the improvement of the interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: In a case where at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, in response to an item preview operation, a combined virtual item consisting of the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item is displayed in the virtual space.

[0074] The solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can preview and display the combined effect of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item that have been selected before the virtual item is presented, so that the audience can combine the effects in advance, which is conducive to ensuring that the special effects displayed after the virtual item is presented meet the needs of the audience, that is, it is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the item presentation.

[0075] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: In response to the adjustment operation on the combined virtual item, the adjusted combined virtual item is displayed, and the additional virtual item in the combined virtual item and the display position of the additional virtual item are not completely the same before and after the adjustment.

[0076] According to the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, before a virtual item is given away, if the combined effect of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item is not satisfactory, the combined virtual item can be directly adjusted, thereby ensuring that the special effects displayed after the virtual item is given away meet the needs of the audience, that is, ensuring the accuracy of the item giving.

[0077] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: In response to a selection operation on a target virtual item in the virtual space, item prompt information is displayed in the virtual space, where the item prompt information is used to prompt a gifting method of the target virtual item.

[0078] The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment improves the efficiency of information transmission by displaying the item prompt information of the selected target virtual item in the virtual space, intuitively showing the gifting method of the target virtual item, thereby facilitating the audience object to quickly gift the target virtual item according to the gifting method, thereby improving the gifting efficiency of the target virtual item, that is, improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object.

[0079] In some embodiments, the plurality of additional virtual items includes at least one of the following: Each additional virtual item is a virtual item having a resource quantity less than the resource quantity of the target virtual item, and the resource quantity of each virtual item is used to indicate the quantity of resources consumed by giving away the virtual item; Each additional virtual item is a virtual item whose resource quantity does not exceed the resource quantity threshold; The plurality of additional virtual items are virtual items that match the target virtual item; The multiple additional virtual items are virtual items that match the historical gifting behavior of the target object, the target object is the object that gifted the target virtual items, and the historical gifting behavior is used to represent the virtual items that the target object has gifted.

[0080] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the additional virtual items are virtual items that consume less resources, or match the target virtual items, or match the virtual items previously given by the target object, which are conducive to promoting the audience object to give at least one additional virtual item at the same time as giving the target virtual item, thereby improving the efficiency of giving virtual items, thereby improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object; and, the additional virtual items match the target virtual items, which can make the corresponding combination special effects more harmonious and the display effect better, thereby helping to improve the viewing experience of the virtual space.

[0081] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: When at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, displaying a first resource amount in the virtual space, the first resource amount being a total amount of resources consumed by giving away the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item; The first resource quantity is less than the second resource quantity, and the second resource quantity is the sum of the resources consumed by giving away the target virtual item alone and the resources consumed by giving away the selected additional virtual item alone.

[0082] The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment displays the first resource quantity to intuitively show that the resources consumed by gifting a target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item in combination are less than the sum of the resources consumed by gifting each virtual item separately, so that the audience object can easily learn that the gifting method of combination is more favorable, improve the efficiency of information transmission, and help promote the audience object to gift the combined virtual items, thereby improving the gifting efficiency of virtual items, and further improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0083] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: In a case where at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, a third resource amount is displayed in the virtual space, the third resource amount being equal to a difference between the second resource amount and the first resource amount.

[0084] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by displaying the quantity of the third resource, facilitates the audience to intuitively know the quantity of the discounted resources, improves the efficiency of information transmission, and is conducive to promoting the audience to give the combination of virtual items, thereby improving the efficiency of giving virtual items, and further improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0085] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: When at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, a combination label is displayed on the target virtual item, the combination label being used to indicate that the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item have been combined into one virtual item.

[0086] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure displays a combination label on the target virtual item to intuitively show that the virtual item to be donated is a virtual item formed by combining multiple virtual items, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0087] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: In response to the replacement operation of the plurality of additional virtual items, a new plurality of additional virtual items are displayed in the virtual space.

[0088] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure allows the audience to directly change the additional virtual items currently displayed if they are not satisfied with them, thereby providing the audience with more choices so that they can find additional virtual gifts that meet their needs, thereby meeting the audience's needs for gifting items.

[0089] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: The number of the donated target virtual items is displayed in the virtual space.

[0090] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure facilitates objects in the virtual space to directly learn about the gift status of the target virtual items by displaying the number of the target virtual items that have been gifted, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0091] Above Figure 2 The following is only a basic process of the present disclosure. The solution provided by the present disclosure is further described based on a specific implementation method. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing another interactive method in a virtual space according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 , the method comprises the following steps.

[0092] In step 301, in response to a selection operation on a target virtual item in a virtual space, the terminal displays a plurality of additional virtual items in the virtual space.

[0093] In the disclosed embodiment, the target virtual item refers to a virtual item that can be combined with other virtual items for gifting. When the target virtual item is gifted, the terminal displays multiple additional virtual items that can be combined with the target virtual item for gifting in the virtual space. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the display style and display position of each of the above virtual items.

[0094] For example, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a target virtual item and an additional virtual item according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 , the terminal displays multiple virtual items on the item panel 401 of the virtual space. The multiple virtual items include a target virtual item 402. The target virtual item 402 is a virtual sky lantern. When the virtual sky lantern 402 is selected, the terminal displays multiple additional virtual items on the item panel 401. The multiple additional virtual items are a "seeking wealth" wishing board 403, a "seeking love" wishing board 404, and a "seeking career" wishing board 405. For any virtual item, the terminal can display the icon of the virtual item and the amount of resources consumed by giving the virtual item.

[0095] In some embodiments, the plurality of additional virtual items includes at least one of the following.

[0096] First, each additional virtual item is a virtual item with a resource quantity less than the resource quantity of the target virtual item. The resource quantity of each virtual item is used to represent the amount of resources consumed by giving the virtual item. That is, the value of the additional virtual item is lower than the value of the target virtual item. For example, continue to see Figure 4 , resources refer to virtual gold coins. Giving away virtual sky lanterns 401 requires 299 virtual gold coins, while giving away each virtual wish card only requires 20 virtual gold coins. Second, each additional virtual item is a virtual item whose resource quantity does not exceed a resource quantity threshold. The resource quantity threshold may be 100, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The resource quantity threshold may be related to the target object to which the target virtual item is donated. Optionally, the resource quantity threshold is equal to the resource consumption mean of the target object. The resource consumption mean refers to the amount of resources consumed by the target object each time a virtual item is donated on average within a unit time period.

[0097] The third item is that the multiple additional virtual items are virtual items that match the target virtual item. The "match" can be the same application scenario, the same meaning or emotion represented, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, both the virtual sky lantern and the virtual wishing board can be used to express the intention of praying, and the two are matched.

[0098] The fourth item is that the multiple additional virtual items are virtual items that match the historical gifting behavior of the target object. The target object is the object that gifted the target virtual item. The historical gifting behavior is used to represent the virtual items that the target object has gifted. That is, the additional virtual items can be virtual items that the target object has gifted before, or the additional virtual items can also be virtual items similar to the virtual items that the target object has gifted before, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. For the case where the additional virtual items are virtual items that the target object has gifted, the additional virtual items can be virtual items that have been gifted more than a threshold number of times, or the additional virtual items can also be virtual items that have been gifted within a preset time period, and the end point of the preset time period is the current moment, that is, the additional virtual items can also be virtual items that have been gifted recently, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0099] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the additional virtual items are virtual items that consume less resources, or match the target virtual items, or match the virtual items previously given by the target object, which are conducive to promoting the audience object to give at least one additional virtual item at the same time as giving the target virtual item, thereby improving the efficiency of giving virtual items, thereby improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object; and, the additional virtual items match the target virtual items, which can make the corresponding combination special effects more harmonious and the display effect better, thereby helping to improve the viewing experience of the virtual space.

[0100] In some embodiments, in response to the selection operation of the target virtual item in the virtual space, the terminal may also display item prompt information in the virtual space. The item prompt information is used to prompt the gifting method of the target virtual item. The item prompt information may be text information or video information to prompt that the target virtual item can be gifted in combination with at least one additional virtual item. The specific content of the item prompt information is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The scheme provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure improves the efficiency of information transmission by displaying the item prompt information of the selected target virtual item in the virtual space, intuitively showing the gifting method of the target virtual item, thereby facilitating the audience object to quickly gift the target virtual item according to the gifting method, thereby improving the gifting efficiency of the target virtual item, that is, improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0101] In some embodiments, if the audience object is not satisfied with the additional virtual items currently displayed, they can be replaced. Accordingly, in response to the replacement operation of the multiple additional virtual items, the terminal displays multiple new additional virtual items in the virtual space. Optionally, the terminal displays a replacement control in the virtual space, and in response to the triggering operation of the replacement control, the terminal displays multiple new additional virtual items in the virtual space. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style and display position of the replacement control. For example, see Figure 4 The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure allows the audience to directly change the additional virtual items currently displayed if the audience is not satisfied with them, thereby providing the audience with more choices so that the audience can find additional virtual gifts that meet their needs, thereby meeting the audience's needs for gifting items.

[0102] In step 302, when at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, in response to an item sending operation, a combination effect between the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item is displayed in a virtual space.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item are selected, in response to the item sending operation, the terminal displays a combination effect between the target virtual item and the selected at least one virtual item in the virtual space. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style of the combination effect.

[0104] In some embodiments, the manner of displaying the combined special effects may include at least one of the following.

[0105] The first item is that the terminal displays the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item spliced ​​together. That is, the combined special effect refers to the splicing of multiple virtual items (including the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item) that are given away. The present disclosed embodiment does not limit the splicing method. Optionally, each additional virtual item is spliced ​​with the target virtual item respectively, that is, there is a splicing position for each additional virtual item on the target virtual item. Alternatively, each additional virtual item is spliced ​​together, and one of the additional virtual items is spliced ​​with the target virtual item, that is, there is only one splicing position for an additional virtual item on the target virtual item.

[0106] The second item is that the terminal displays and at least one additional virtual item moves along with the target virtual item. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the movement of the target virtual item, for example, moving from bottom to top, rotating around a certain area, etc.

[0107] The third item is that the terminal displays at least one label of the additional virtual item on the target virtual item. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display position of the label.

[0108] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the combined special effect between the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item can be that all virtual items are spliced ​​together, or moved together, or labels of other virtual items are displayed on one virtual item, etc. By displaying the combined special effect, not only the donated virtual item is intuitively displayed, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of information transmission, but also the content of the virtual space can be enriched, and the viewing experience of the virtual space can be improved, thereby facilitating an enhanced interactive experience between the host object and the audience object.

[0109] For example, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing a combination of special effects according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5, when the virtual sky lantern 501 and the "Seeking Fortune" wishing board 502 are selected, in response to the triggering operation of the sending control 503, the terminal displays the combined special effects of the virtual sky lantern 501 and the "Seeking Fortune" wishing board 502 in the fast space. Among them, the "Seeking Fortune" wishing board 502 is hung under the virtual sky lantern 501 in the form of a pendant (or accessory), and moves from bottom to top with the virtual sky lantern 501. The label of the "Seeking Fortune" wishing board 502 - "Get Rich" is displayed on the virtual sky lantern 501. The wish label of each virtual wishing board is used to indicate the type of wish carried by the virtual wishing board.

[0110] Among them, the splicing position, moving direction and label display mode between the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item are related to the attributes of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item. For example, if the target virtual item is a virtual sky lantern and the additional virtual item is a virtual wishing board, the virtual wishing board is hung under the virtual sky lantern. If the target virtual item is a virtual necklace and the additional virtual item is a virtual string of beads, the virtual beads are strung on the chain of the virtual necklace. The scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the specific display style of the combined special effect according to the attributes of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item, that is, the display content such as the splicing position, moving direction and label display mode between virtual items, so that the combined special effect is more matched and accurate with the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item, and the display effect is better, which is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0111] In some embodiments, there are multiple selected additional virtual items. Accordingly, the process of the terminal displaying the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item together includes: the terminal displays multiple additional virtual items and splices them together with the target virtual item in a target order. Among them, the multiple additional virtual items are connected one by one according to the target order, and the first additional virtual item indicated by the target order is spliced ​​together with the target virtual item. That is, multiple additional virtual items are strung together and then spliced ​​with the target virtual item. The target order can be a preset order (default order) or customized by the object. For example, the target order is the order in which multiple additional virtual items are selected. The first additional virtual item indicated by the target order is the first additional virtual item selected, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the target order. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple additional virtual items can be strung together in a string according to the target order and spliced ​​together with the target virtual item, which not only enables the composed combined special effects to clearly display the various virtual items given away, improves the efficiency of information transmission, but also has a novel style of the composed combined special effects, enhances the viewing of the virtual space, and is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0112] For example, Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing another combination of special effects according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 , when the "fortune" wishing board, the "love" wishing board, and the "career" wishing board are selected in sequence, in response to the item sending operation, the terminal displays the "fortune" wishing board 601, the "love" wishing board 602, and the "career" wishing board 603, which are hung one by one from top to bottom below the virtual sky lantern 604. Moreover, the labels of the virtual wishing boards are also displayed from left to right on the top of the virtual sky lantern 604 in the order in which the virtual wishing boards are selected.

[0113] In some embodiments, when at least one additional virtual item among the plurality of additional virtual items is selected, the terminal may display a combination label on the target virtual item. The combination label is used to indicate that the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item have been combined into one virtual item. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style of the combination label. For example, continue to refer to Figure 5 , when the "fortune-seeking" wishing card 502 is selected, the terminal displays a "combine items" label in the options of the virtual sky lantern 501 to indicate that the virtual sky lantern 501 and the "fortune-seeking" wishing card 502 have been combined into one virtual item. The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment intuitively shows that the virtual item to be given is a virtual item combined from multiple virtual items by displaying a combination label on the target virtual item, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0114] In other embodiments, when at least one of the multiple additional virtual items is selected, the terminal may also display a first resource quantity in the virtual space. The first resource quantity is the total amount of resources consumed by gifting the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item. Among them, the first resource quantity is less than the second resource quantity, and the second resource quantity is the sum of the resources consumed by gifting the target virtual item alone and the resources consumed by gifting the selected additional virtual item alone. The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment, by displaying the first resource quantity, intuitively demonstrates that the resources consumed by gifting the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item in combination are less than the sum of the resources consumed by gifting each virtual item alone, which makes it easier for the audience to know that the combination gifting method is more favorable, improves the efficiency of information transmission, and is conducive to promoting the audience to gift the combined virtual items, thereby improving the gifting efficiency of virtual items, and then improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0115] In other embodiments, when at least one of the multiple additional virtual items is selected, the terminal may further display a third resource quantity in the virtual space. The third resource quantity is equal to the difference between the second resource quantity and the first resource quantity. The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment facilitates the audience to intuitively know the number of resources that have been discounted by displaying the third resource quantity, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission, and facilitating the audience to give away the combined virtual items, thereby improving the efficiency of giving away virtual items, and further improving the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0116] For example, Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a third resource quantity according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 , when the "Seek Fortune" wishing card 701 and the "Seek Love" wishing card 702 are selected, the second resource quantity corresponding to the "Seek Fortune" wishing card 701, the "Seek Love" wishing card 702 and the virtual sky lantern 703 = 20+20+299=339; subtract 34 virtual gold coins from the second resource quantity, that is, the third resource quantity is 34, which is equivalent to a 10% discount.

[0117] In some embodiments, before giving away a virtual item, the terminal may also preview and display the combined virtual item. Accordingly, when at least one of the multiple additional virtual items is selected, in response to the item preview operation, the terminal displays the combined virtual item consisting of the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item in the virtual space. The solution provided by the disclosed embodiment can preview and display the combined effect of the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item for the selected target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item before giving away a virtual item, so that the audience object can combine the effects in advance, which is conducive to ensuring that the special effects displayed after giving away the virtual item meet the needs of the audience object, that is, it is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the item giving.

[0118] During the preview display process, the terminal can adjust the style of the combined virtual item at any time. Accordingly, in response to the adjustment operation of the combined virtual item, the terminal displays the adjusted combined virtual item. The additional virtual items in the combined virtual item and the display positions of the additional virtual items are not exactly the same before and after the adjustment. That is, during the adjustment of the combined virtual item, the terminal can replace or remove any additional virtual item in the combined virtual item, or add a new additional virtual item, or adjust the display position of the existing additional virtual item on the target virtual item, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0119] After the virtual item is presented, in addition to displaying the above-mentioned combination special effects, the terminal may also add background elements to the combination special effects to enhance the atmosphere in the virtual space, as shown in the following step 303. That is, step 303 is an optional step.

[0120] In step 303, the terminal displays the target visual element as the background of the combined special effect in the virtual space, and the target visual element is used to present the virtual scene where the combined special effect is located.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution timing of step 303 may be the same as the execution timing of step 302. That is, when at least one of the multiple additional virtual items is selected, in response to the item sending operation, the terminal displays the combined special effects between the target virtual item and the at least one additional virtual item and the target visual element in the virtual space. Among them, the combined special effects are displayed as foreground elements, and the target visual elements are displayed as background elements. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the basis of displaying the combined special effects, can also display the target visual elements as the background of the combined special effects, to provide a virtual scene for the display of the combined special effects, more intuitively and strongly reflect the impact of the audience object's behavior of giving virtual items on the virtual space, which is conducive to improving the viewing, fun and audience experience of the virtual space, thereby helping to improve the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0122] For example, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing a target visual element according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 , the target visual element is a scene image including a target building 801. In the scene image, the target building 801 stands in layers of clouds. Thus, a virtual sky lantern 802 carrying a "seek wealth" wishing board 803 can be presented, gradually moving upward from the bottom of the target building 801 into the clouds, presenting the effect of the subject releasing a sky lantern to pray.

[0123] The disclosed embodiment does not limit the display style of the target visual element. Optionally, the target visual element matches the target virtual item. Since the combination special effect is related to the target virtual item, it is guaranteed to a certain extent that the combination special effect matches the background of the combination special effect (i.e., the target visual element), so that the picture is more harmonious and the display effect is better when the combination special effect and the target visual element are displayed, which is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency between the host object and the audience object and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0124] Alternatively, the target visual element is related to the regional list to which the anchor object in the virtual space belongs. This method facilitates the audience objects in the virtual space to quickly learn the regional list to which the anchor object belongs by displaying the target visual element, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission, so that the audience objects can quickly interact with the anchor object to improve the ranking of the anchor object in the regional list, that is, it is conducive to improving the interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience objects and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0125] For example, see Figure 8 , the scene graphs corresponding to the lists in different regions are different, and the buildings in the scene graphs are different. If the anchor object is in the list of region A, the displayed scene graph contains the buildings in region A.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the display duration of the combined special effect does not reach the preset duration, if a gift behavior for the associated virtual item appears in the virtual space, the terminal displays the special effect of the associated virtual item on the basis of displaying the combined special effect. The associated virtual item is a separate target virtual item, or the associated virtual item is a combined virtual item consisting of the target virtual item and at least one additional virtual item. In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the display duration of the combined special effect does not reach the preset duration, when a new gift behavior for a similar virtual item appears in the virtual space, the special effect of the newly gifted virtual item can be displayed on the basis of the original combined special effect, which not only guarantees the display duration of the original combined special effect, so that the objects in the virtual space have sufficient time to see the combined special effect, so as to clearly obtain the gifted virtual item, but also the special effect of the virtual item gifted later can be directly displayed without waiting for the special effect display of the previous virtual item to be completed, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission; and the screen can simultaneously display the special effects of multiple similar virtual items, thereby improving the screen utilization rate.

[0127] The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display method of the special effects associated with the virtual items, and may include at least one of the following.

[0128] The first item is that the terminal displays the special effects of the associated virtual items in an area outside the display area of ​​the combined special effects. This method displays the special effects of the associated virtual items in an area outside the display area of ​​the combined special effects, so that the display of the combined special effects and the special effects of the associated virtual items do not affect each other, so that the objects in the virtual space can accurately know the various virtual items that have been given, thereby improving the accuracy of information transmission.

[0129] The second item is that a target visual element is displayed in the virtual space as the background of the combined special effects. On the basis of displaying the combined special effects, the terminal displays the special effects of the associated virtual items as the foreground of the target visual element in the virtual space. The target visual element is used to present the virtual scene where the special effects are located. This method displays the special effects of the associated virtual items as the foreground when the special effects background (target visual element) is displayed, which also makes it easier for objects in the virtual space to accurately know the various virtual items that have been given, thereby improving the accuracy of information transmission; and on the basis of displaying the special effects corresponding to each virtual item, the target visual element is displayed, which can more intuitively and strongly reflect the impact of the audience object's behavior of giving virtual items on the virtual space, which is conducive to improving the viewing, fun and audience experience of the virtual space, thereby helping to improve the interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object and the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0130] For example, Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram showing a method of simultaneously displaying multiple combination special effects according to an exemplary embodiment. Different combination special effects are displayed in different areas, do not overlap each other, and are all located in the upper layer of the scene graph.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the display time of the combined special effect reaches a preset time, if the display time of the associated virtual item does not reach the preset time, the terminal continues to display the special effects of the target visual element and the associated virtual item, and the combined special effect is no longer displayed after the display time reaches the preset time. The scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is that whenever the display time of any special effect reaches a preset time, the special effect will disappear from the virtual space, while other special effects and the target visual element that serves as the background of the special effect will continue to be displayed without being affected, thereby ensuring that the virtual space can be in an atmosphere of giving away combined virtual items or target virtual items for a long time, which is conducive to improving the viewing, fun and audience experience of the virtual space, thereby facilitating the participation of audience objects, and further facilitating the improvement of the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0132] In some embodiments, the terminal may also display the number of target virtual items that have been donated in the virtual space. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display position of the number. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure facilitates the objects in the virtual space to directly know the donation status of the target virtual items by displaying the number of target virtual items that have been donated, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0133] It should be noted that after the gift combination virtual items are presented, the display elements (art assets) are divided into multiple categories for management. The multiple categories are main elements (such as target virtual items), pendant elements (such as additional virtual items) and background elements (such as target visual elements). Each category of display elements has a corresponding description file to represent its static asset information, motion trajectory, hierarchy and other information, and each part of the assets is uploaded and maintained independently. Whenever the audience object triggers the item sending operation, the terminal can send the target virtual item and additional virtual item selected by the audience object to the backend. After the backend completes the necessary gift-giving check logic (such as object legitimacy detection, deduction, and data archiving), the gift-giving behavior is aggregated into one instruction and sent to all audience objects for effect playback. Among them, one instruction here contains multiple art assets selected by the audience when making gift-giving decisions, and the backend can flexibly deploy business logic so that multiple gift-giving behaviors of a single audience object within a certain period of time can be aggregated together, or the gift-giving behaviors of multiple audience objects within a certain period of time can be aggregated. Objects that need to play special effects of items (usually all viewers and anchors need to play them. If the virtual item is configured to be merged into the video stream, only the anchor needs to play it), based on the different art asset contents in the aggregation instructions and the full art asset configuration information sent by the backend, obtain the asset information they need to use for asset download. After all assets are downloaded, they are combined and played based on the object selection and the configuration properties of a single asset. In one rendering, it supports the playback of background atmosphere, foreground atmosphere, main flying objects, several pendants and many other effects. For example, see Fig.10 , Fig.10 It is a principle framework diagram of displaying combined special effects according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0134] The disclosed embodiments provide an interactive method in a virtual space. In the process of an audience object in the virtual space presenting a target virtual item to an anchor object, a plurality of additional virtual items can be provided to the audience object, so that the audience object can select at least one additional virtual item from the plurality of additional virtual items according to its own needs, combine it with the target virtual item and present it to the anchor object, and display the combination special effects between the target virtual item and the selected at least one additional virtual item. This not only enables the presentation of a plurality of different virtual items at one time, thereby improving the presentation efficiency of virtual items, thereby facilitating the improvement of the interaction efficiency and human-computer interaction efficiency between the anchor object and the audience object, but also increases the fun and interactivity in the process of presenting items, thereby facilitating the satisfaction of the audience object's demand for customized virtual items, and by displaying the combination special effects corresponding to the virtual items, the viewing experience of the virtual space is enhanced, thereby facilitating the improvement of the interactive experience between the anchor object and the audience object.

[0135] All the above optional technical solutions can be arbitrarily combined to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and will not be described in detail here.
