[0019] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0020] It should be noted that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0021] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0022] The embodiments of this disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition, and / or use. All of these aspects comply with applicable laws, regulations, and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of this disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, forwarding, and use are conducted with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, in implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of any data or information that may be involved should be communicated to the user and their authorization obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means. The specific methods of notification and / or authorization may vary depending on the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0023] In this specification and the embodiments, any processing of personal information will be carried out only under the premise of legality (such as obtaining the consent of the personal information subject, or being necessary for the performance of a contract), and will only be carried out within the scope stipulated or agreed upon. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that necessary for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0024] As described above, users can interact with various types of virtual objects through a computer within a virtual environment provided by the computer. For example, in some games, users control virtual objects to perform different virtual actions in a virtual scene through different operations (e.g., different key presses).

[0025] However, with the development of computers, more and more virtual actions can be implemented in games. Such interaction methods require users to be proficient in or even master the relationship between various operations and virtual actions, resulting in low efficiency of user interaction with virtual objects.

[0026] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure propose an interaction scheme. According to this scheme, a configuration interface associated with a virtual object can be presented, and the configuration interface presents multiple sets of candidate virtual actions corresponding to various preset interaction methods; further, multiple virtual actions can be associated with corresponding preset interaction methods based on the selection of multiple virtual actions in each set of candidate virtual actions; further, a first operation can be received in the interaction interface associated with the virtual object, the first operation corresponding to a first interaction method among the various preset interaction methods, and the first interaction method being associated with multiple first virtual actions; even further, in response to the first operation, the virtual object can be triggered to execute the selected virtual action among the multiple first virtual actions.

[0027] Based on this approach, embodiments of this disclosure can associate multiple virtual actions with each of a variety of preset interaction methods in a configuration interface associated with a virtual object, thereby improving the configuration efficiency of virtual actions. Furthermore, this configuration enables embodiments of this disclosure to trigger a selected virtual action from a plurality of first virtual actions in response to a first operation corresponding to a first interaction method among the various preset interaction methods in an interactive interface associated with a virtual object. Based on this interaction method, embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the number of operation types while ensuring the number of triggerable virtual actions, thereby greatly improving the interaction efficiency in the interactive interface.

[0028] Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure can improve the efficiency of action configuration associated with virtual objects, thereby improving the interaction efficiency in virtual scenes.

[0029] Example Environment

[0030] 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.

[0031] In this example environment 100, an application 120 is installed on an electronic device 110. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices. The application 120 can be an application that supports user interaction, such as a game application, or any other suitable application.

[0032] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, application 120 can provide a presentation interface 150 for user 140.

[0033] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. 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, 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 user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0034] Server 130 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. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 that support content presentation in electronic devices 110.

[0035] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus, and Wi-Fi connections; the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0036] 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.

[0037] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0038] Example Interaction

[0039] The following will be referenced Figure 2 To describe an example interaction process according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 Example user interface 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. User interface 200 may be, for example, provided by [the present disclosure]. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, electronic device 110 can, for example, present virtual objects 210. As some examples, virtual objects include two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects suitable for interaction in a virtual scene. As an example, a virtual scene may include a game scene, and virtual objects may include virtual characters within the game scene. For ease of understanding, this disclosure uses a game scene as an example for illustrative purposes; it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, this disclosure can also be applied to virtual reality scenes, simulation scenes, and so on.

[0041] Taking a game scenario as an example, the electronic device 110 can display one or more labels on the interactive interface 200, for example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the configuration interface 200 can display tabs such as 221 (Start) and 222 (Skill). As examples, the electronic device 110 can display the corresponding interface in response to a user's trigger action on any tab.

[0042] As examples, electronic device 110 may display the interactive interface 200 by default and switch to the corresponding interface upon receiving an operation on another tag. Electronic device 110 may also display the interactive interface 200 in response to a user's selection of tag 221.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, in response to a user's selection of the tag 222, present a configuration interface associated with the virtual object to support configuring virtual actions of the virtual object.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 also supports configuring virtual actions of the virtual object before the virtual object enters the interactive interface. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can present a configuration interface associated with the virtual object to the user in response to a user's trigger operation on the control 232. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can also present an interactive interface associated with the virtual object 210 in response to the user completing the configuration.

[0045] 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.

[0046] As examples, electronic device 110 may disable the configuration interface associated with a virtual object in ways including, but 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.

[0047] The following will refer to Figures 3A to 3C This describes an example configuration process according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 3A to 3C Example configuration interfaces 300A to 300C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Configuration interfaces 300A to 300C can, for example, be provided by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0048] Based on this, the configuration interface 300A presents multiple sets of candidate virtual actions corresponding to various preset interaction methods. For example... Figure 3A As shown, the configuration interface 300A presents, for example, a first interaction mode 311, a set of candidate virtual actions corresponding to the first interaction mode 311 (e.g., candidate virtual actions 321 to 326), a second interaction mode 330, and a set of candidate virtual actions corresponding to the second interaction mode 330 (e.g., candidate virtual actions 327 to 329).

[0049] As examples, multiple sets of candidate virtual actions can include preset sets of virtual actions. For instance, different users or different virtual objects can configure the same sets of virtual actions.

[0050] As examples, multiple sets of candidate virtual actions can also be related to object information associated with virtual objects. Specifically, electronic device 110 can determine multiple sets of candidate virtual actions presented in the configuration interface from a preset virtual action library based on the object information associated with the virtual object. Such object information may include, but is not limited to, the object category of the virtual object, the event information associated with the virtual object, the number of times the virtual object has been interacted with, etc.

[0051] Taking virtual objects as virtual game characters as an example, the object category of a virtual object is, for example, the role category of a virtual character in a virtual scene. Different categories of virtual objects can be associated with different categories of virtual actions in a preset virtual action library. The event information associated with a virtual object includes, but is not limited to, the overall task completion rate associated with the virtual object, the preset task completion rate associated with the virtual object, the level of the virtual object, etc. The number of interactions with a virtual object includes, for example, the number of times the virtual object enters the interactive interface. The electronic device 110 can determine the candidate virtual actions included in each group of candidate virtual actions in multiple groups of candidate virtual actions based on the event information associated with the virtual object, the number of interactions with the virtual object, etc.

[0052] As some examples, such as Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 110 determines candidate virtual actions 321 to 326 and candidate virtual actions 327 to 329 from a preset virtual action library based on object information associated with the virtual object. Further, taking the first group of candidate virtual actions corresponding to the first interaction mode as an example, the electronic device 110 can display elements 331 to 332 in the configuration interface to represent up to two candidate virtual actions from the first group of candidate virtual actions that the electronic device 110 can subsequently determine from the preset virtual action library.

[0053] To reduce the difficulty of user interaction, the electronic device 110 can also support each preset interaction method to be associated with a preset number of virtual actions. Specifically, still taking... Figure 3A For example, a user can select up to three candidate virtual actions from candidate virtual actions 321 to candidate virtual actions 326 to associate with the first interaction mode 311, and select up to three candidate virtual actions from candidate virtual actions 327 to candidate virtual actions 329 to associate with the second interaction mode 312.

[0054] Based on this, the electronic device 110 can associate multiple virtual actions selected by the user with corresponding preset interaction methods based on the user's selection of multiple virtual actions in each group of candidate virtual actions.

[0055] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can present multiple configuration areas corresponding to multiple preset interaction methods to more clearly display the multiple virtual actions selected by the user.

[0056] like Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 110 can display a first configuration area 341 corresponding to the first interaction mode 311 and a second configuration area 342 corresponding to the second interaction mode 312.

[0057] Furthermore, the first configuration area can display a first set of candidate virtual actions corresponding to the first interaction method and multiple preset positions for configuring multiple first virtual actions. The second configuration area can display a second set of candidate virtual actions corresponding to the second interaction method and multiple preset positions for user-configured second virtual actions.

[0058] Still with Figure 3A For example, the electronic device 110 can display a first group of candidate virtual actions (i.e., candidate virtual actions 321 to 326) corresponding to the first interaction mode 311 in the first configuration area 341, as well as preset positions 351 to 353 for configuring multiple first virtual actions associated with the first interaction mode. Similarly, the electronic device 110 can display a second group of candidate virtual actions (i.e., candidate virtual actions 327 to 329) corresponding to the second interaction mode 312 in the second configuration area 342, as well as preset positions 354 to 356 for configuring multiple second virtual actions associated with the second interaction mode.

[0059] In some embodiments, taking the first configuration area 341 as an example, the electronic device 110 can determine candidate virtual actions 321, 322, and 324 as the multiple virtual actions selected by the user based on the user's selection of multiple virtual actions from the first group of candidate virtual actions. Further, the electronic device 110 can associate candidate virtual actions 321, 322, and 324 with the first interaction mode 311 and present them in preset positions 351 to 353.

[0060] It should be understood that there may be a correspondence between multiple virtual actions and multiple preset positions. For example, the electronic device 110 may display the candidate virtual action 321 selected by the user at a preset position 351 based on the user's drag-and-drop operation. There may also be no correspondence between multiple virtual actions and multiple preset positions. For example, the electronic device 110 may randomly (or sequentially, etc.) display the candidate virtual action 321 selected by the user at one of the preset positions 351, 352, and 353 based on the user's tap operation on the virtual action 321.

[0061] Therefore, users can configure each preset interaction method individually. By providing multiple configuration areas and multiple preset positions, the electronic device 110 can improve the accuracy and efficiency of configuring virtual actions.

[0062] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support user previewing of virtual actions. For example, such as Figure 3AAs shown, the electronic device 110 can display a preview area 350 in the configuration interface 300A. The preview area 350 can include action information of the virtual action selected by the user. The action information may include, for example, name, description, diagram, illustrative video, illustrative audio, etc. This disclosure does not limit the content of the action information included in the preview area.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present candidate virtual actions in a grouped manner to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of configuration. Specifically, taking the first group of candidate virtual actions as an example, the first group of candidate virtual actions can be associated with multiple categories, and the first configuration area can also be configured to display the first group of candidate virtual actions in groups based on multiple categories.

[0064] As some examples, such as Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present two category groups: Category 1 and Category 2. Therefore, the electronic device 110 can present candidate virtual actions 321 to 323 associated with Category 1, and candidate virtual actions 324 to 326 associated with Category 2. In some embodiments, different action categories may correspond to different types of virtual skills, different factions of virtual skills, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may restrict the candidate virtual actions that a user can interact with during the process of configuring preset interaction methods corresponding to each configuration area. For example, during the process of a user configuring a virtual action associated with a first interaction action in the first configuration area, the electronic device 110 may not support the user interacting with candidate virtual actions in the second configuration area. In this way, the probability of user configuration errors is reduced, thereby further improving the configuration efficiency of the electronic device 110.

[0066] Specifically, the electronic device 110 can, based on the selection of a target position from a plurality of preset positions, display at least one candidate virtual action matching the target position in a first style in the configuration interface. The first style indicates support for user interaction, that is, the user can trigger the candidate virtual action displayed in the first style. For example, the first style can be a bold border, graphic highlighting, displaying a preset color, displaying a preset animation effect, etc.

[0067] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can also display a second set of candidate virtual actions in a second configuration area in a second style on the configuration interface, based on the selection of a target location from multiple preset locations. The second style is different from the first style. The second style can indicate that user interaction is not supported, that is, the user is prohibited from triggering the candidate virtual actions displayed in the second style. For example, the second style can be a faded border color, a grayed-out graphic, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, at least one candidate virtual action matching the target location can be a first set of candidate virtual actions. For example, such as Figure 3B As shown, the target location selected by the user is a preset location 351, which matches the first group of candidate virtual actions. The electronic device 110 displays candidate virtual actions 321 to 326 in a first style and candidate virtual actions 327 to 329 in a second style.

[0069] In some embodiments, at least one candidate virtual action matching the target location may also be a candidate virtual action of a preset type from the first group of candidate virtual actions. For example, the preset type may be the grouping category mentioned above, or other classification methods.

[0070] Taking the preset grouping category as an example, such as Figure 3C As shown, the preset position 351 can also be configured to allow the presentation of any one of candidate virtual actions 321 to 323, while prohibiting the presentation of any one of candidate virtual actions 324 to 326. Based on this, the electronic device 110 can display candidate virtual actions 321 to 323 in a first style to highlight multiple candidate virtual actions in category 1 that can be configured by the user.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support users configuring virtual actions through action combinations. For example, a user can select one action combination at a time, and an action combination can include multiple virtual actions. This interaction method can further improve the configuration efficiency of virtual actions.

[0072] Taking the action combination form of the first group of candidate virtual actions as an example, the electronic device 110 can present multiple action combinations associated with the first group of candidate virtual actions in the first configuration area. Furthermore, based on the selection of the target action combination among the multiple action combinations, the electronic device 110 can add multiple virtual actions corresponding to the target action combination to multiple preset positions, so that multiple virtual actions are associated with the first interaction mode.

[0073] As examples, an action combination may include one or more candidate virtual actions from a first group of candidate virtual actions. The multiple action combinations associated with the first group of candidate virtual actions can be preset action combinations, such as multiple action combinations obtained by grouping the first group of candidate virtual actions according to a preset grouping strategy. The multiple action combinations associated with the first group of candidate virtual actions can also be obtained through user configuration; for example, a user can configure multiple action combinations from the first group of candidate virtual actions through an action combination operation interface.

[0074] In some embodiments, the candidate virtual actions in an action combination can be non-repeating candidate virtual actions. In other embodiments, the candidate virtual actions in an action combination can also be partially or completely repeated candidate virtual actions. This disclosure does not limit the method for determining the action combination.

[0075] The following combination Figure 4 This describes the action combination configuration process according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 Example configuration interface 400 according to other embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Configuration interface 400 may be provided by, for example, a configuration interface 400 provided by, other embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the configuration interface 400 can present a first configuration area 410. The first configuration area presents action combinations 421 (group 1), 422 (group 2), 423 (group 3), and 424 (group 4) associated with a first group of candidate virtual actions. In some embodiments, the action combination may include multiple virtual actions preset by the system. As an example, such multiple virtual actions may have associated functions. Alternatively, the preset multiple virtual actions may be determined based on historical configuration information of multiple users, such as popular skill combinations.

[0077] In other examples, such preset skill sets may also be determined based on the current user's historical configuration information. For instance, such preset skill sets may include multiple virtual actions that the current user has previously configured.

[0078] Furthermore, the user can select a target action combination (e.g., action combination 421) from action combinations 421 (group 1), 422 (group 2), 423 (group 3), and 424 (group 4). Based on the target action combination selected by the user, the electronic device 110 can add multiple virtual actions corresponding to the target action combination to multiple preset positions. Figure 4 The specific implementation of virtual actions at preset positions 431, 432, and 433 can be found above. Figures 3A to 3C This will not be elaborated further here. Therefore, the electronic device 110 can associate multiple virtual actions corresponding to the user-selected target action combination with the first interaction method, without needing to perform three virtual action configurations, thereby reducing the number of interactions between the user and the electronic device 110 and improving the configuration efficiency of the electronic device 110.

[0079] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also configure multiple sets of candidate virtual action schemes for any one or more of a variety of preset interaction methods to further improve configuration efficiency. For example, the electronic device 110 can configure two sets of candidate virtual actions for a first interaction method, and / or configure two sets of candidate virtual actions for a second interaction method, etc. Taking the first interaction method as an example, the electronic device 110 can also display a third set of candidate virtual actions (corresponding to a different category than the first set of candidate virtual actions) in the first configuration area.

[0080] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can display interactive elements such as switching controls in the configuration interface to support users in quickly switching between multiple candidate virtual action schemes, thereby further improving the configuration efficiency of the electronic device 110. Specifically, in response to receiving a switching operation for the first configuration area, the electronic device 110 can associate the third group of candidate virtual actions with multiple preset positions, so that the candidate virtual actions in the third group of candidate virtual actions can be configured to be associated with the first interaction method.

[0081] The following combination Figures 5A to 5B This describes a group switching process according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 5A to 5B Example configuration interfaces 500A to 500B according to further embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Configuration interfaces 500A to 500B can, for example, be configured by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0082] like Figure 5A As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a first category 511 corresponding to the first interaction mode. The first category 511 is associated with a first group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 521 to candidate virtual actions 523). The electronic device 110 supports the configuration of the first group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 521 to candidate virtual actions 523) as associated with the first interaction mode and displayed in one or more of the preset positions 541 to preset positions 543.

[0083] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a switching operation for the first configuration area 540. For example, such a switching operation may include triggering a "switching group" for the control 540, or other methods. In response to the switching operation, the electronic device 110 can associate a third group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 524 to 526) with preset positions 541 to 543, thereby configuring the third group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 524 to 526) to be associated with the first interaction method.

[0084] For example, such as Figure 5BAs shown, the electronic device 110 can present a second category 512 corresponding to the first interaction mode. The first category 512 is associated with a third group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 524 to candidate virtual actions 526). The electronic device 110 supports the configuration of the third group of candidate virtual actions (candidate virtual actions 524 to candidate virtual actions 526) as associated with the first interaction mode, and can display one or more of the preset positions 541 to preset positions 543.

[0085] Based on this approach, the embodiments of this disclosure can further improve the efficiency of configuring virtual actions.

[0086] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can enter an interactive interface associated with the virtual object 210 in response to user triggering operations on controls 231 (training), 232 (start), etc., in the interactive interface 200. Such an interactive interface allows users to control the virtual object to perform some virtual actions in the virtual scene presented by the interactive interface.

[0087] The following combination Figure 6 To describe the interaction process according to embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 6 An example interactive interface 600 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The interactive interface 600 may be, for example, provided by [the present disclosure]. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided.

[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device 110, for example, responds to a user's trigger operation on the control 232 (start) to present an interactive interface 600 associated with the virtual object 210. The interactive interface 600 may present the virtual object 210 in the virtual scene, as well as an element 611 that can indicate a first interaction mode for controlling the virtual object 210 and an element 612 that can indicate a second interaction mode for controlling the virtual object 210.

[0089] As examples, the presentation of the interactive interface 600 can represent the entry of a virtual object into an interactive event. For instance, the presentation of the interactive interface 600 can represent a virtual object 210 entering a multiplayer game match event, where the match event can be associated with multiple users corresponding to multiple different virtual objects. As an example, multiple users can be associated with the same faction to cooperate in completing a virtual event. Alternatively, multiple users can be associated with different factions to compete against each other.

[0090] The following are Figure 3A For example, the first interaction method is associated with... Figure 3A In the multiple first virtual actions (candidate virtual action 321, candidate virtual action 322, candidate virtual action 324), element 611 indicates candidate virtual action 321.

[0091] Based on this, the electronic device 110 receives a first operation in the interactive interface 600. The first operation indicates the selected virtual action (i.e., candidate virtual action 321) among a plurality of first virtual actions associated with the first interaction method. As some examples, the first operation may be obtained by the user triggering an interaction with element 611 in the interactive interface 600. Alternatively, the first operation may also be obtained by the user triggering a preset position of a peripheral device such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller. Further, in response to the first operation, the electronic device 110 triggers the virtual object 210 to execute the candidate virtual action 321.

[0092] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a second operation in the interactive interface 600. The second operation may, for example, be associated with the second interaction method described above.

[0093] Still with Figure 3A For example, the second interaction method is associated with... Figure 3A The candidate virtual actions 327, 328, and 329 are listed in the diagram, with element 612 indicating candidate virtual action 327. Accordingly, a second operation can be associated with multiple second virtual actions (candidate virtual action 327, candidate virtual action 328, and candidate virtual action 329). As an example, such as... Figure 6 As shown, element 612 indicates candidate virtual action 327. Thus, electronic device 110 can respond to this second operation by triggering virtual object 210 to execute candidate virtual action 327.

[0094] In some embodiments, the selected virtual action among a plurality of first virtual actions can be any one of candidate virtual actions 321, candidate virtual actions 322, and candidate virtual actions 323. As examples, the electronic device 110 can automatically switch the candidate virtual actions indicated by element 611 based on a preset method. The electronic device 110 can also determine the selected virtual action among a plurality of first virtual actions based on user operations received in the interactive interface, etc. The selected virtual action among a plurality of second virtual actions can be determined in a similar manner, which will not be elaborated here.

[0095] Based on this approach, embodiments of this disclosure can associate multiple virtual actions with each of a variety of preset interaction methods in a configuration interface associated with a virtual object, thereby improving the configuration efficiency of virtual actions. Furthermore, this configuration enables embodiments of this disclosure to trigger a selected virtual action from a plurality of first virtual actions in response to a first operation corresponding to a first interaction method among the various preset interaction methods in an interactive interface associated with a virtual object. Based on this interaction method, embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the number of operation types while ensuring the number of triggerable virtual actions, thereby greatly improving the interaction efficiency in the interactive interface.

[0096] Therefore, the embodiments of this disclosure can improve the efficiency of action configuration associated with virtual objects, thereby improving the interaction efficiency in virtual scenes.
