[0022] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] 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.

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. Example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110. Electronic device 110 may, for example, include a suitable type of portable device that can be held by a user's hands for various interactive operations. Such electronic device 110 may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), gaming devices, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0026] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may include, for example, an appropriate type of sensor for detecting user gestures. For instance, the electronic device 110 may include a touchscreen for detecting various types of gestures made by the user on the touchscreen. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also include other appropriate types of sensing devices, such as a proximity sensor, to detect various types of gestures made by the user within a predetermined distance above the screen.

[0027] It should be understood that, although electronic device 110 is in Figure 1 The device is shown as a portable device, but this is only illustrative. In some other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also be other suitable forms. For example, the electronic device 110 may include a display device for display and a computing device for computing, and the display device and the computing device may, for example, be physically coupled or decoupled.

[0028] For example, electronic device 110 may include a display screen for displaying images and a game console for image rendering and game control.

[0029] In this scenario, electronic device 110 can achieve interaction by utilizing other suitable input devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or game controller.

[0030] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The electronic device 110 can present a user interface 120, which may, for example, present a corresponding virtual environment. For example, the user interface 120 may be a game application interface to present a corresponding game scene. Alternatively, the user interface 120 may be other suitable types of interactive interfaces that allow the user to control virtual objects in the interface to perform corresponding actions in the virtual environment.

[0031] It should be understood that the user interface 120 may be generated locally on the electronic device 110 or may be based on an image received by the electronic device 110 from a remote device (e.g., a cloud gaming console).

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0033] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] Figures 2A to 2E Example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Interfaces 200A to 200E may, for example, be provided by... Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown is provided. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can present, upon receiving an interaction request for a virtual object, such as... Figures 2A to 2E Interfaces 200A to 200E are shown. As described above, such interfaces 200A to 200E may include, for example, graphical interfaces associated with a virtual scene. Such virtual scenes may include, but are not limited to, various types of game scenes, simulation scenes, and so on.

[0036] As an example, interfaces 200A to 200E may be interactive interfaces for controlling specific virtual objects in a virtual scene (e.g., a dojo) to engage in combat (e.g., a target character controlled by the user is fighting an enemy). For example, a user can enter a control mode for a virtual object by performing a specific operation in the virtual scene or by clicking a specific button on the interface.

[0037] In interfaces 200A to 200E, electronic device 110 can present virtual object 210 (also referred to as target virtual object). Virtual object 210 includes, for example, virtual objects or characters. In some embodiments, virtual object 210 can be associated with a user, and can be, for example, a virtual character that the user can control, which typically has specific attributes, skills, and appearance. Electronic device 110 can control virtual object 210 to complete tasks, engage in combat, or develop storylines based on user operations. Such virtual object 210 can be referred to as target character, for example.

[0038] In interfaces 200A to 200E, electronic device 110 can also display virtual objects 220, such as enemies. Electronic device 110 can control virtual objects 210 to perform actions on virtual objects 220 through commands, such as controlling a target character to perform actions such as normal attacks or releasing skills on enemies.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 presents a first indicator element associated with a virtual object in an interactive interface of a virtual scene. The first indicator element is associated with a first virtual resource. For example, Figure 2A As shown, after presenting the virtual scene, the electronic device 110 can display a first indicator element 230 in the interface 200A. The first indicator element 230 can be presented in the form of a meter, such as a fuel meter associated with the virtual object 210. The first indicator element 230 can be used to display the quantity and upper limit of the first virtual resource.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object to perform corresponding actions based on user interaction. Such actions could be, for example, controlling the virtual object 210 to move or controlling the virtual object 210 to launch an attack. Specifically, the electronic device 110 triggers the virtual object to perform a first action in response to a first interaction associated with the virtual object.

[0041] As an example, such as Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can receive a first interactive operation from the user. This first interactive operation can be, for example, an operation that triggers the electronic device 110 to control the virtual object 210 to perform a corresponding action. Such an action could be, for example, a movement action or an attack action of the virtual object 210. After receiving the first interactive operation, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform the corresponding action (e.g., a movement action or an attack action).

[0042] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may update the upper limit of the quantity of the first virtual resource in response to a first action corresponding to a first action type.

[0043] As an example, such as Figure 2A As shown, when the virtual object 210 performs an action corresponding to the first interactive operation, the electronic device 110 can update the resource attributes corresponding to the first action. Such resource attributes may be, for example, the quantity (also called fuel) or the maximum quantity (also called fuel limit) of the first virtual resource (also called fuel value).

[0044] Additionally or alternatively, electronic device 110 may associate the attribute type of a resource attribute with different action types. For example, electronic device 110 may associate fuel value (i.e., the quantity of the first virtual resource) with the movement action of virtual object 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, when updating the first indicator element, the electronic device 110 may display a first portion of the first indicator element in a first style to indicate a change in the quantity of the first virtual resource. As an example, the electronic device 110 may use different colors to distinguish between the fuel value and the fuel limit. The first style used to display the fuel value could be, for example, a black-filled block; that is, the electronic device 110 may display the fuel value as a black-filled block. For example, Figure 2A The first indicator element 230 indicates a fuel value of 3 units.

[0046] In some embodiments, when updating the first indicator element, the electronic device 110 may display a second portion of the first indicator element in a second style to indicate a change in the upper limit of the first virtual resource. As an example, such as... Figure 2A As shown, the second style could be, for example, gray-filled. Electronic device 110 could use gray-filled blocks to represent the maximum current amount of fuel consumed. For example, Figure 2A The first indicator element 230 indicates a fuel limit of 3 units.

[0047] Presenting the quantity and upper limit of primary resources using different styles can effectively help users monitor changes in primary resources, thereby improving the efficiency of users in obtaining information related to virtual objects.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the first action is performed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 can update the first indicator element in the interactive interface to indicate the updated upper limit of the virtual resource quantity. For example, when the first action is performed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 can adjust the fuel value or fuel limit based on the action type corresponding to the first action. For instance, after the virtual object 210 performs an attack action (i.e., the first action corresponding to the first action type), the electronic device 110 can reduce the virtual object's fuel limit and display the updated fuel through the first indicator element 230. Adjusting the quantity or upper limit of the first virtual resource by the attribute type corresponding to the first action enriches the interactive effects triggered by the first interactive operation, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 may consume a first virtual resource based on the resource consumption corresponding to the first action, in response to a first action corresponding to a second action type. The first action type is associated with a first movement mode of the virtual object in a first state, and the first movement mode is specific to the first state. As an example, electronic device 110 may configure virtual object 210 to perform the first action corresponding to the first action type only when it is in the first state. The first state may be, for example, the state in which virtual object 210 drives a virtual device, such as a virtual vehicle, virtual flight device, or virtual robot, and will be referred to hereafter as "mech state".

[0050] The first movement mode of the first action type could be, for example, a movement mode associated with flight. Such a movement mode could include, for example, a takeoff mode, an in-flight displacement mode, or a flight hold mode. After the virtual object 210 performs an action of the first action type, such as... Figure 2A and 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 can deduct fuel value based on the fuel consumption corresponding to the first action type. For example, the fuel value can be reduced from 3 units to 1 unit. The fuel consumption corresponding to the first action type can be set by those skilled in the art as needed, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0051] In some scenarios, when the virtual object 210 remains in flight, the electronic device 110 can continuously reduce its fuel value. For example, when the virtual object remains in flight, the electronic device 110 can deduct 0.1 units of fuel value per second.

[0052] Additional or alternative land, such as Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can configure a first action type to be associated with the control 240. When the electronic device 110 receives a long press operation from the user on the control 240, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform a takeoff action.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also restore the fuel value of the virtual object 210 based on the movement mode of the virtual object 210. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can periodically increase the quantity of the first virtual resource in response to the virtual object being associated with a second movement mode different from the first movement mode.

[0054] As an example, when the virtual object 210 is in the second movement mode, the electronic device 110 can continuously restore the fuel value associated with the virtual object. For example, when the virtual object 210 is in the second movement mode, the electronic device 110 can restore 0.5 units of fuel value per second. Such a second movement mode could be, for example, the virtual object 210 moving on the ground in a virtual scene, such as the virtual object 210 walking, standing, or performing other movement actions on the ground in the virtual scene.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the virtual object 210 performs an action corresponding to a first action type, the electronic device 110 may deduct the upper limit of the quantity of the first virtual resource. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may, in response to the first action corresponding to a first action type, reduce the upper limit of the quantity of the first virtual resource based on the reduction amount corresponding to the first action. The first action type is associated with a first virtual skill specific to the "mech state". Here, the first action corresponding to the first action type may be referred to as a first attack action.

[0056] As an example, such as Figure 2A and 2C As shown, after the first attack action is executed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 can reduce the upper limit of the first virtual resource quantity based on the fuel limit reduction amount corresponding to the first attack action. After the upper limit of the first virtual resource quantity is reduced, the electronic device 110 can exhibit the following behavior: Figure 2C The updated first indicator element 230 is shown. The amount of fuel limit reduction corresponding to the first attack action could be, for example, a reduction of one unit of fuel limit. The specific amount of limit reduction can be set by those skilled in the art as needed, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0057] In some scenarios, the first attack action is associated with a first virtual skill, such as the first attack skill of virtual object 210. The attack skill can be the ability of virtual object 210 to inflict damage or negative effects on target units (such as virtual object 220) in the virtual scene.

[0058] In other scenarios, the first attack action is bound to the "mech state" of virtual object 210, which can be the state in which virtual object 210 drives a virtual device. That is, the first attack action can only be executed by the virtual object 210. When virtual object 210 is in a second state, but the first attack action is triggered, electronic device 110 can control virtual object 210 to switch from the second state to the "mech state". Such a second state can be, for example, a state different from the driving state, and will be referred to as the "normal state" below.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a second indicator element associated with a virtual object in an interactive interface of a virtual scene. The second indicator element is associated with a second virtual resource. The second virtual resource is used to trigger the virtual object to perform a second action specific to a second state.

[0060] As an example, such as Figure 2C As shown, the electronic device 110 can display an energy meter 250 (i.e., a second indicator element) in a virtual scene. The energy meter 250 is used to display the quantity of a second virtual resource. The second virtual resource can also be referred to as energy points. When the energy points reach a preset value, a second action corresponding to the "normal state" of the virtual object 210 is allowed to be triggered.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the first attack action is executed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 may increase the number of second virtual resources. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may increase the number of second virtual resources associated with the virtual object in response to the first action corresponding to the first action type. The second virtual resources are used to trigger the virtual object to execute a second action specific to the second state.

[0062] As an example, such as Figure 2C As shown, after the virtual object 210 performs the first attack action, the electronic device 110 can add a preset unit of energy points to display the updated number of energy points in the energy table 250. For example, after the virtual object 210 performs the first attack action, the electronic device 110 can add one unit of energy points and update the visual representation of the energy table 250.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may, in response to a first action corresponding to a third action type, increase the upper limit of the first virtual resource quantity based on the upper limit increase amount corresponding to the first action. The first action corresponding to the third action type may, for example, be referred to as a fuel recovery action.

[0064] As an example, such as Figure 2A and 2D As shown, when the fuel restoration action is executed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 can restore the corresponding unit of fuel limit to... Figure 2A The visual representation of the fuel gauge 230 shown is updated as follows: Figure 2D The visual representation of the fuel gauge 230 is shown. For example, when the control 255 is selected, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform a fuel recovery action to periodically restore the fuel limit (e.g., increase the fuel limit by 0.5 units per second).

[0065] In some embodiments, the third action type is associated with a second virtual skill specific to a second state of a virtual object. For example, such as... Figure 2C As shown, control 260 can be used to trigger a second virtual skill. When electronic device 110 receives the user's selection of control 260, electronic device 110 can determine whether the number of energy points associated with virtual object 210 is greater than a preset value. When electronic device 110 determines that the number of energy points is greater than the preset value, electronic device 110 can execute the second virtual skill with virtual object 210 and adjust the fuel limit.

[0066] In some scenarios, when the second virtual skill is executed by the virtual object 210, the electronic device 110 can reduce the number of energy points. The number of energy points reduced can be set by those skilled in the art as needed, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0067] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 switches the virtual object from a first state to a second state in response to the upper limit of the number of the first virtual resource falling below a first threshold. As an example, such as... Figure 2E As shown, when the fuel limit is zero, the electronic device 110 can switch the virtual object 210 from "mech state" to "normal state".

[0068] In some embodiments, the condition for a virtual object to switch from a second state to a first state is associated with an upper limit on the quantity of a first virtual resource. Furthermore, the upper limit can be increased based on a target action performed by the virtual object in the second state. For example, when the virtual object 210 is in a "normal state" (i.e., the second state), the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to perform a target action, which can be associated with the "normal state." After the virtual object 210 performs the target action, the electronic device 110 can increase the fuel limit by a preset unit. When the fuel limit exceeds a second threshold, the electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to switch from the "normal state" to the "mech state." By using rich interactive mechanisms to switch the state of the virtual object, the user's interactive experience can be enhanced.

[0069] In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can enrich the ways in which users interact with virtual scenes and improve the user's interactive experience.
